I'm confused about the experience returned for large-scale fieldcraft levequests. I'm currently trying to level up my fisher job from 96 to 100, and these large-scale levequests have been quite helpful during the patch of 7.4. At the moment, my Miner and Botanist jobs are maxed out at level 100. I also have all of my crafters maxed out at level 100.

Job Composition as of 04-28-2026:


As of patch 7.5 released today, the experience returned for fisher seems to be weirdly inconsistent. I now only see an EXP reward of 1000 for all large-scale levequests for fisher specifically. This looks similar to the behaviour you would see at the collectable appraisal NPCs when you're trying to submit lower level collectables when you're 10 levels or less away from max level. However, what's surprising is that for my miner and botanist classes, I see between 1 to 1.5 million EXP that can be rewarded, despite those classes being maxed out.

Fisher Levequest Reward (Level 96/100):


What's even more strange is that for the large-scale tradecraft levequests, I have them all maxed out, and I see 1000 EXP as the reward. It almost seems as if the logic for when to award the standard amount of EXP vs only awarding 1000 EXP has been flipped for the gathering classes.

I understand that the developers don't seem to care about temple leves since they've been "abandoned" according to the community at large, but at the very least, they should at least make some sense and be minimally functional. Fisher getting 1000 EXP when not maxed leveled, while Miner and Botanist getting almost up to 1 million EXP at max level should not be happening to begin with.
