Did they nerf dungeon XP recently?

I seem to recall roulette bonuses not giving as much exp at 80 as they did at 79 or 81. Are capstone levels different for exp rewards from roulette?

Level 50, 60, 70 and 80 dungeons just aren't meant to give much exp. The roulettes merely multiply the exp from the dungeon, so if you do a capstone roulette such as Level 50/60/70/80 roulette, then you won't get much exp compared to, say, Leveling roulette.

Some of the exp is increased below level 80 as a bonus for having a job at level 80 or higher. So once you reach 80 it can be cut in half.

There is also the challenge log which is a factor. It gives exp after you beat a certain amount of dungeons for the week. There is also rested exp which can run out after a bit.

It gives proper amount of EXP, but scaling of 'round' levels is off, because things provide EXP amount appropriate for 71-80 bracket, but exp needed to go from 80 to 81 is appropriate to 81-90 bracket.

Thanks for the answer, and for actually reading what I wrote

I don't recall this being an issue with SB or ShB, but I definitely noticed in EW that getting from 80 to 81 with roulettes was a bit of a pain.

Just to add that anecdote, I distinctly remember this being the case in SB because getting some alt Jobs to 61 to unlock HoH was a slog.
I can't speak for ShB/EW because there I made it a point to specifically spend my WTs completion XP to kickstart getting everything that wasn't leveling through the MSQ to 71/81 first so I could level some alt Jobs while grinding the Trust NPCs to the respective level cap.

Feels nerfed to me. I took a break for about a year and came back it's moving quite a bit slower than I remember. So much so I looked for and found this thread.

Also, your 'rested' exp bonus likely ran out.

There is also rested exp which can run out after a bit.

This is almost always the case when someone asks why they're not getting as much xp from the same duty as they did yesterday or last week.

You weren't on a preferred world with a Road to 80 buff that might've expired by chance?

The amount of EXP you get for a roulette is relative to the duty that you get whilst in that roulette.

For example, if you queue for MSQ roulette and you get Praetorium then you'll get significantly more EXP than if you were to get Castrum.

The only other thing I can think of is the armory bonus going from 100% > 50% when you hit level 80. But I cannot remember if both dungeon EXP and roulette EXP were unaffected, or whether it was just roulette EXP.

PVP is actually really good for xp. Almost half a level for 15 minutes. Sure you get more if you win but it doesn't really matter too much. Just go in and half a laugh with it.

As for dungeons, avoid any dungeon with a 0 in it. 50/60/70...ect are terrible for xp. 49/59/69....ect is the way forward.
