    Hey weird metal head who gave me 10k today (as expected)..

    is it expect that this now only seems to be adv xp and not also crafting xp?

    Yes. You need to do the test and be in a new 24hr window from the last

    So I did the test and got the 500, won't be able to do the test again until tomorrow, so I'll lose out on the 10,000 XP, which I normally get in the evening hours.

    yeah thats gonna mighty suck of the 10k prezzie is not in sync with the oracle timings so if you claim before the 24hr is up on the 10k but the 500gp is good by the oracle but the 10k is not thats gonna make incredibly hit and miss

    I suppose they could do something so it's always in sync.

    The 10K pooled XP is given as part of the test, it's not seperate.

    It's currently not working on QA and just gives you an item instead. Go ahead and delete the item, you won't be able to redeem it. (We don't give XP that way, it's just stored on a server as an "item" so it can take advantage of the checks we do vs. cheating).

    I thought the 10K bonus on live currently was just adventurer XP? If it's adventurer/producer we can mirror it.

    I didn't even get an item. At least nothing said I received an item. Guess I'll check when I get home.

    It is both adventurer and producer on live.

    Something I thought of tho. I do like this being tied to the Oracle daily, however I just spent several days with my kid in the Outskirts. He got his bonus, but wouldn't if we did this after R45. Should there be a "Portable Oracle Confirmatory Device" in one of the tents so new players can get used to this daily thing? There are several play sessions worth of content in the Outskirts, and I'd hate to have them miss their gold and xp as part of this process.

    (I'd suggest the broken oracle statue head, except it was made to only activate PvP instead of something useful. I'd totally buy a Desktop Oracle Automata for my house if I could use it instead of having to travel to the Oracle every day.)

    Eh, I wouldn't want to set a precedent that wont be used anywhere else.

    It is currently also Producer XP on Live and not only just Adventurer XP.

    When I first started I spent days in Blood River Outskirts with no Oracle. If a new user comes and is in an area like that for that long, they will lose out on a lot of XP.

    I hate to be the devil's advocate but giving producer experience didn't make sense to begin with, since the point of the daily experience bonus was to offset decay and there's currently no producer decay.

    Yes, but the only way to get producer xp is to gather, which is its own issue. You can't buy materials and craft to get positive xp, it consumes more than you earn. Not to mention that crafting xp decay is "coming".

    When crafting decay comes then a producer experience bonus will make sense.

    When crafting decay comes the XP we're gaining now will not be exempt from it.
