redneck1st: Will have to admit that the gaining of XP is one of the worst in the TW3 series. I mean after all I'm Level 26 now 27 and I'm doing quest that are as much as 3 to 6 levels higher then that for which I currently7 am. And what to I end up with between 50 and 100 xp per quest including killing for the kills for which I had to do.
Now I figure if you're willing to take on a quest that is 6 levels higher then you are the rewards should be higher as well. If there is a TW4 I doubt that I will pre order the game. To many minuses.
Mhm, apparently the "red quests" do give you slightly more xp, but I can't personally speak to this since I never really paid much attention to it.
You may find that you should get a higher "xp reward" for quests slightly above your current level, but I don't necessarily think so (simply because sometimes a quest labelled 6 lvls higher than your current lvl has just one high-lvl monster that can be taken out rather easily with some preparation). I just treated those recommendations as just that - an approach that has worked nicely for me ;) But yeah, the system isn't flawless by any means, just has never diminished the experience for me.
Why exactly does this bother you so much - is it because of some equipment you want to use, or the sense of accomplishment or something? Really just asking out of curiosity, not to be nasty or anything. (If it is because of the expansion - be warned, as mentioned in an earlier post, I once started HoS with lvl 29 and before Isle of Mists, it will make you OP to the point where you can basically just waltz through the rest of the game).
