Title: Crafting XP for smelting gold ingots drastically reduced in R53
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? No
Details:
In R52 - each craft of a Gold Ingot yielded 125 Crafting XP.

In R53 - each craft fo a Gold Ingot yields 25 Crafting XP - which is the same as crafting an Iron or Copper Ingot, etc.

Please review the XP values for these higher tier crafting - it was stated that higher tier crafting should yield higher crafting xp (and it was working that way in R52).

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Craft a gold ingot
2) Observer the crafting xp gained = 25 (vs. 125 in R52)

I am not able to reproduce this. Weird. You have all skills in smelting locked, correct? Nothing is pulling away from your xp pool at the same time?
It is also entirely possible this is fixed on our internal server.
Odd indeed. Anyone else out there seeing this?

- each Gold Ingot craft only gave 25 Crafting XP

I was smelting gold ingots in the last few days of R52 and was consistently receiving 25 Producer XP, except for exceptional ingots for which I received 125 Producer XP. This is consistent with all the other refining skills. I crafted some gold ingots this morning in R53 and was getting exactly the same XP. I don't have any screenshots because I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Exceptional items give 5 times the XP of regular items. @Kron Caledon, did you receive 625 Producer XP for exceptional ingots in R52? Because this seems WAY out of line for just processing raw materials.

@Lao Tzu

Yes - I did receive 625 Producer XP for exceptional gold ingots in R52 (125 XP for exceptional lower tier ingots like iron / copper).

I'd noticed this early in R52 - and thought that was what was intended as part of the crafting xp revamp for R52 - that higher tier crafting get more crafting xp.

Perhaps this was changed late in R52 - I didn't look at the XP specifically the last few days for R52.
