    Location Deep Ravenswood ... multiple locations

    Advneture lvl 65
    Ranged active and passive skills all active and set to Maintaining
    Air magic
    Active skills set to maintain
    Passive skills air attunement and rapid discharge still training others set to maintain
    Life Magic
    Healing touch set to train, all other active skills set to maintain
    All life passives set to maintain
    Tactics (3) and Focus (4) skills all set to maintaining

    Large red spiders initially yielded about 4K points
    Red spiders initially yielded about 2K points.
    After several kills I noticed the amount decreased to where I was just breaking even
    After several more, I was losing XP points with every kill using the same deck with the same mix of non training skills.

    I've looked through the forums but I haven't found any discussions about this.

    Large Reds yielding around 4k sounds like you had a 4x bonus?

    Last i knew Ferocious Red Spiders yielded 4k and Larges yielded something around 2?

    Large red spiders are 1400XP base, 5600XP with the 4x bonus. Red spiders are 1000XP base, 4000XP with the 4x bonus. Or they were during R26 and R27. Turn off all skill advancement-- including maintain-- to verify. Skills drain will lessen that. Skill drain increases as the skill level increases.

    The issues isn't really how much they're worth, but why my XP gains decline in value after killing a few. I've seen the same thing with huge corpions in Artifice.
    With virtually every adventuring skill set to maintain rather than train, I am mystified why I initially get a 1000 point gain and 20 minutes later I'm losing 1000 points for the same activity.

    Are you starting with a bonus and then working through it and just seeing normal gains? With my level 64 character, that bonus is gone after only a few minutes of killing wolves in Deep Ravenswood.

    I'll have to check. It never occurred to me that the bonus would reappear even temporarily after the previous level had been exceeded.

    You get the 4x bonus for a set amount of XP gain each 24 hour real time period-- at least 24 hours apart-- after you exceed the previous maximum level.
