Adventurer XP as loot ?

3/6/2016 6:10 PM

1. Adventurer XP added only when looting
2. 40..60 % of times
3. no
4. About half of the time I kill a mob, I won't get any adventurer xp until I loot (or skin) its corpse. Dunno if it's intended, nor do I know since when it's like that.
I also noticed that when I got the XP immediately, if I hover over the corpse with my pointer, the pointer is green. On the other hand, when I have to loot the corpse to get the XP, the pointer is blue until I "open" it.
5. Kill something, see when you got the XP.

I can confirm this and add a bit more Infos.

Sometimes Skeletons give you only Exp. Points after opening their corpse.
AND
then they give you only the half Exp. Points then normal (when the Exp. Points were direct applied).


So fare, I found this only with Skeletons. Here my Testobjects with their Exp. Points:

Ravensmoor:
Skeleton Footman: 380 / 190
Skeleton Archer: 360 / 180
Skeleton Mage: 1300 / 650

Southmarsh:
Large Skeleton Footman: 1350 / 675
Large Skeleton Archer: 1300 / 650
Skeleton Mage: 1300 / 650

Edit:
Same problem with Lichs in Mysterious Swamp

 

And as I said in another thread this is because the Corpses are held for a time to see if they get resurrected by a mage undead. If they are ressed you don't get exp. Once you loot them they cannot be ressed and you get the exp.

This is not a bug but a design implemented when they added the resurrection mechanic.

 

Ok, but why only the half of the Exp. Points if the corpse is held for possible ressurection?
