Combat XP Stacking Bug?

[nightrainbowyt]

I wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this before I report it. I like to pull large mobs and take them out at the same time to speed up the leveling, but what I've noticed is that I don't get XP for all of it.

Say I kill a Timberwolf and get 300 XP. I then pull three of them and kill them at the same time, I still only get 300 XP instead of 900 XP.

I think the exp is distributed according to the skills you used between your previous kill and this one.

So the game gives you exp for killing the first wolf on that group, but since you didn't do any other action, you don't get exp for killing the other 2.

That said, I don't know if it's a bug.

The same thing happens when I kill some enemies in rapid succession (Say each attack kill one), I get exp only for the first and third or fourth kill.

I noticed as well that when you kill a buch of enimies at the same time you only get xp for one. so if they are defeated at the same time only xp for one but of they are defeated after the other one then it seems to count

It's kind of a bug, kind of not. XP is calculated more by the skills you use than the enemy itself, which is why killing 5 things at the (exact) same time would only give you XP for one monster, since you only used a single move to kill all of them.

Hope that answers your question, regarding xp gain

I think it may be more of a bug than a feature - or at least I hope so.

A good example is the manticores in the Evershade. I've lost track of the number of times I've been about to land the final shot, and a hornet randomly flies out of nowhere and gets caught in the last attack. Every single time, it defaults to the lower XP from the hornet with nothing awarded for the manticore.

The only way I've found to avoid it is to run away, kill the first, then go back and finish the second.
