    SE, Fix Duty Support Boss XP Fail

    I've found that the XP you get from dungeon bosses goes down as your level goes up .. IT SHOULDN'T!

    Yes, in non-synced content the higher your level versus that of the mobs causes the XP you get from the to drop massively until you get nothing.

    But that shouldn't happen in SYNCed content as your level at the time you kill the boss is capped at the sync cap.

    For example, running Sohm Al to farm some gear ...

    at level 55 I got 95k, 166k and 210k from the bosses, of course I was capped at 54.

    at level 59 I got 79k, 138k and 121k, a HUGE drop but of course I was STILL capped at level 54 when I killed them.

    This is broken, there is no logic that my 'actual' level makes any difference whatsoever when in this content.

    Please fix it!

    What were the bonus percentages following each xp value?

    I ran Sohm Al with Duty Support as GNB 88 and received the following xp amounts:
    • Raskovnik: 63,467 (+100%) ==> base xp 31,733
    • Myath: 111,098 (+100%) ==> base xp 55,549
    • Tioman: 142,823 (+100%) ==> base xp 71,411

    Ran it again as DRK 80 with Menphina's earring and received the following xp amounts:
    • Raskovnik: 72,993 (+130%) ==> base xp 31,736
    • Myath: 116,654 (+109%) ==> base xp 55,815
    • Tioman: 128,556 (+80%) ==> base xp 71,420

    It looks to me like you just ran with different xp multipliers. In particular, did your rested xp run out? You can see a drop in my second run from +130% down to +109%, where the second boss used up my remaining rested xp for a partial boost, and then the last boss did not benefit from any rested xp (+50% armoury bonus, +30% earring). Based on the base xp values I received, you appear to have received the following bonuses:

    Lv55:
    • Raskovnik: 95,000 (+200%)
    • Myath: 166,000 (+198%) [probably ~166,640 (+200%)]
    • Tioman: 210,000 (+194%) [probably ~214,230 (+200%)]

    Lv59:
    • Raskovnik: 79,000 (+149%) [probably ~79,340 (+150%)]
    • Myath: 138,000 (+148) [probably ~139,540 (+150%)]
    • Tioman: 121,000 (+70%)

    So somewhere between the two runs, you likely used up all your rested xp, accounting for the -50% bonus between the two runs. Besides that, some other bonus source stopped being active during the second run between the second and third boss (Did you get a dungeon drop that you equipped over what was an xp bonus item? Did a buff scroll run out?)

    It doesn't look like there's anything broken in need of fixing though.
