Please bring back the +50% gathering XP in Resource Caves I'm begging you

[main pelican]

It was disabled for txp wtf

[placid canyon]

Yeah, there is no bonus message when yo gather inside the cave

sad times

[broken rock]

The best part is Maex Mines costing money to enter and you dont even get the bonus xp

[tired crane]

you /classed in there right? you have to restand on the pressure plate to get the xp bonus. theyre on rn

not wearing any gxp gear

[broken rock]

That one does work i know that but isnt the one in fruma still disabled

[tired crane]

yea but theyre in the worm tunnels no?

[broken rock]

The post itself says Resource Caves

I assume the example is just Worm Tunnels

(but that is indeed a /class, /switch etc, issue)

[tired crane]

yeah thats fair, adding it to the fruman one if its disabled would be a nice addition

[placid canyon]

I went to the maex mines and it's still inactive, i even stood on the plate after relogging

I even /class and use my archer dude and went to the worm tunnels, still no bonus

despite the buff showing up on the character menu

[fallow pelican]

i may be misunderstanding here but the gathering boosts in these areas are same as your gxp stat so they shouldnt show on the hologram when you gather something unlike dxp showing a 2x

[broken rock]

This is correct

[placid canyon]

no, in the past it did show a [1.5x] when gathering in the caves. I know that cuz I spend hours in there due to running ult. ironman craftsman characters as my mains now

[fallow pelican]

you sure thats not due to 1.5x xp during the last month before fruma release

[broken rock]

No

[placid canyon]

no, i started the iroman characters during 2023

[broken rock]

It never did that lol

[placid canyon]

ill' go and double check with some ore from the molten heights to cross reference

[placid canyon]

if it never did, then they should, it'd be cool if it did that

[broken rock]

No

Cause it isnt a multiplier, its just the gxp ID for free

It doesnt give you 1.5x, it gives you 50%

If you have 125% Gather XP and enter a Resource Cave, then you get 175% Gather XP. It doesnt get multiplied by 1.5x like you're implying, which in that case it'd give you 187.5%

[tired crane]

making it 1.5x makes it equal to hunted and tbh that feels a bit broken for a location with such a low requirement for the average class

[placid canyon]

i knew I was not crazy: the buff is off

[broken rock]

What

[tired crane]

even if this comparison wasnt flawed by virtue of being 1 node allowing for high amounts of error, the maex mines also gave a sizable increase in xp. remember its not 1.5x its +50% gather experience

[broken rock]

Where does it say [1.5x] tho, you just tyoing shit

[broken rock]

Also ALL xp gained is "random", its not always the same

It can fluctuate A LOT

one time you can get 10000 and the nexy you get 7400 under the same conditions

[tired crane]

yeah for me, i usually flucuate between 18k to 23k

[broken rock]

Yeah lol

[placid canyon]

yeah but the xp gain is in a range

if it is 1.9 k in a cave then in theory I should get about 2.4k counting for inconsistencies

[broken rock]

Your screenshots dont show anything tho, its a diff of 200 xp with a test of 1 single node, you couldve gotten a max xp non cave node and then a min xp cave node

[placid canyon]

alright, i should mine 25 different nodes and add up the averages with screenshots from both the cave and not cave

I can and gladly will do that

[broken rock]

25 is not at all enough of a number for testing something like this, with how much xp fluctuates

Try 1000!
