Thread: Okay, I give up. How in the world does CH xp work?
Hi,
This is how it works. If you use a cl10 vs a big MOB say a tortur or a rancor you will get mega XP. The lower level your pet vs a higher level MOB the more XP you gain. The keys are this, your pet only has to hit the MOB once to get the XP and the Pet has to be alive when the MOB dies. SO it used to work fine using a CL 50 and a baby or a low level pet not anymore that cuts your XP in half. So now we use a low level pet plus an elite combat skill to Kill the MOB before it incaps the pet. I used a minor guf drolg on torturs to get my CH XP. Just one though. Well back then two when I finally could get em out, but they nerfed the two pets out XP so now you are limited to one.
Good luck.

Perhaps because unlike a level 10 carrion spat that might hit a mob once for 10 points a level 15 rancor might actually do some REAL damage that counts like player exp - the more damge you do the more exp you get, on top of the level difference gap. I did sharnaff hunts at novice with a 10 carrion spat, got about 400 exp with a 29 brackaset not much less, about 380. The brack can hit for 300 and the spat less than 100, if it can land at all. Or of course it could something completely different.

When your pets are not full grown the equations are a bit trickier. It seems to work something like this.
A full grown pet that hits a mob you kill will get exp based on a ratio of its level to the level of the MOB it hit. So the smaller the pet and the bigger the mob the more exp you will get. Its not a direct progression and has a cap on the high end and the low end, more of a curve of some kind.
A developing pet gets the same exp as its full grown version, but then modified by its % age of its full grown. It used to be they got exp as if they were the level they are, but not its some kind of calculation, capping at 150% of what they would get as an adult. This means a Lv30 pet that is at lv 15 will get less exp in general than a full grown lv15 pet because of the cap on their exp. (this is an example not a statement of fact on those exact numbers).
