I blew through the challenges within an hour the first day. I shot up 10 tiers. We should be able to manually advance to new challenges by the way.
Yesterday, I had advanced two tiers with passive experience, and then it just stopped. It restarted with the server reset, but is there a limit on the passive?
I don’t remember there being passive xp but things like crafting grants it. Did you have some benches crafting something?
8000 xp cap reset every 24 hrs.
Bench crafting and killing are the two main ways I advance the passive number.
That’s 8 tiers. I went less than 2000 and it stopped. I want to say that last night was also very weird in terms of gameplay. There were a lot of odd things in server-client communication and illusioned things reverting. So, I would like to attribute it to that. More play will bear that out. I am optimistic, until I can prove otherwise.
Did you complete the challenges that same day? Taking into account that Funcom’s “day” is calculated by their time zone. Maybe the cap doesn’t care how you get the exp.
Just a theory.
I completed the challenges day one in about an hour. I had no cap that day. I was at tier 10, or 10000. Last night was the only time I’ve seen it stop.
Usually getting something passively means without doing anything so there might be a bit of a miscommunication here. So you mean that you stopped getting xp from crafting and killing?
Yes. That is what I mean.
Again, it is 8000 per 24 hours. Whether or not you actually hit that cap, or perform actions that actually give you XP is up to you.
The XP you get from challenges (roughly 3000 per) are separate. If you’ve done your challenges and ground out your XP every day you should be at Tier 40.5.
I am aware of what 24 hrs means. I am also aware that 2000 + 2000 from the previous day is not 8000.
I am sure that something was happening last night, due to a number of other weird issues reported. I only noticed that the XP was not progressing when my clanmate said hers was not progressing. She was at Tier 2, and did not get credit for a challenge completion.
That is on your end of things. You asked what the cap was and I told you.
Every day it resets and the cap is 8000. I have 4 clanmates that have all been getting 8000 xp per day like clockwork. Just on the off chance that Funcom changed something I checked just now and got… drumroll 8000 XP on the nose.
So either Funcom has set a special lower XP cap just for you… or you are not maxing your XP. Craft arrows in a bench or something. If you’re on single player set the Crafting Time and Crafting Cost Multipliers to 0.10, spawn in some mats and just queue up a bunch of stuff.
Good luck!
Sooo the cap for xp is 8k per day- then - so 8 levels per day @ 1k per level. So the quickest it should take is 7.5 days.
What are people talking about taking 2 weeks or like some say , that will remain unnamed, 6 weeks?
And don’t forget the weekly challenge that gives 7.5k and can be done within an hour
What I think would be fun for weeklies is a 20 item scavenger hunt on the map. Clues given and you run the map finding the items to click and get xp for them
If you’ve done all 3 weekly challenges and hit your 8k XP cap each time it reset, then you should be hitting Tier 60 tonight after reset around midnight, or latest tomorrow.
I think the “6 weeks” type posts are from back when everyone thought the XP cap was going to reset every week like the challenges. Thankfully Funcom didn’t go that route.
I bought the boosted pass and I’m already done.
I dont need the boosted pass.
I do need to level my thralls though and craft them armor which i get TXP credit for.
I’m so glad I didn’t buy the boosted pass I got the standard pass and should be finishing it tomorrow.
I’m a little salty. Lol But at least I know for next time.
Hopefully.
The six week estimate is for those who are lazy and don’t bother playing except to do weekly challenges and refresh bases.
