If a player levels to 210 but don't assign the evolve points. Then de-levels to 205, and re-levels in the 210 area. That player gets more xp per kill than a level 210 player at level. they also get the benefits of the 20 skill points from the mission so they can cast a higher level skill. But their VL is only 205 because they didn't assign the evolve points. Just the skill points. Would that be considered exploiting a bug?

I am sure they would not want to exploit a bug, because that is spelled out in the rules.

There is no boost in xp per mob based on the VL of the player.... Seems I saw this thread locked and closed before....

I know de-leveling is allowed. I was just wondering if using skill points earned at 210 when the players level is 205 was an exploit. You do gain more xp as a level 205 hitting level 210 creatures.. Sure didn't take long to regain the levels. Might have been the extra 20 points in Focus the second time through. Sure did enjoy wondering around the elite area and knowing that no one could hit me. But could solo the 210 elite at 205. Sure don't take much energy to lose those levels. You want to lose some xp fast, catch a champ on the cloning center. Thump the 1 key as fast as you can, then come back 15 minutes later and see how many levels ya lost. Probably a little hard on the servers, but what the heck.

Average xp from level 210 mob killed while level 210: 634.57
Average xp from level 210 mob killed while level 205: 634.43

Smallish samples but close enough for me. There may be a difference in non-normal mobs as I've never really tried to level on Champs, but there has never been a difference in xp based on level (other than sub-leveling of course) for killing regular mobs.

i just came back to the game but i remember that champs used to be like 20 pct more exp than the normal entity for that level. for example these numbers are wrong but lets say you are lvl 100 kill in there. lets say the normal monster gives y ou 75 xp per kill. the champ for 100 will give you 100 exp at lvl. when i used to be towards the top of this game i loved hunting in the elite zones for champs at end content. the champs gave more exp then normal mobs would but youd also have a chance at soloing elites <3

This is a very old thread which has already been addressed. It was just brought to the surface again by an absent player. Let it dwindle back to where it came from.

It's not an exploit as the Skill points are earned instead of simply allocated. They worked their way up to that level and worked for the points.
