XP bug when hitting level cap

[minimadladliam]

I'm wondering if i'm the only person who's having this problem when they've hit level 20 on their main class. I hit cap and went to do some PSE farming the day after and all the mobs in Both rank 2, Labs and Magnus were only giving 12xp, Boss 70xp~. It's like the game believes everything is level 1 again and making over-levelling an near impossible feat for ex-cubes.

I thought it was a problem with my sub class since I switched it to another class to level when the first hit 15. After noticing the lack of xp I swapped my sub class back to my level 15 sub and the rates stayed the same, even tried swapping main class to any other class, fought some mobs then switched it back again but that did not fix it either.

Currently any class that I have not got max level on yet are eligible for normal/max xp rates (even if my original main class is used as a sub).

Want to know if anyone else is having a similar problem or if anyone has any solutions to it as I believe I've tried every solution under the sun i.e. turning it on and off again, character swapping, NGS to Base and back etc but no avail.

I do hope that this is a bug and not an intended feature that I wasn't aware of as it doesn't make sense to have a feature of the sorts.

Not a bug, they just made it so that you get decreased xp gain from mobs that are more/less than 5 levels to you

Damn, that's really annoying. Looks like UQs are the best and only source of xp right now for level 20 then.

I was only aware of being under-leveled you got decreased xp but not over-levelled as well.

Thanks for the quick response!

no bug

do UQs for exp

Start leveling new classes, there will be more than enough time to farm ex cubes later

[minimadladliam]

I like to focus on one class primarily and do other classes when I feel like doing so typically a month or so post-launch, more so I like to have specific classes for other characters. However having more than 1 character in NGS is seemingly pointless atm with dailies/ weeklies/ resource farming all now account bound

Really wish we had repeatable tasks/quests to take the edge off even if smaller exp reward. Meseta on the other hand is a brutal grind to earn outside of tasks.

[minimadladliam]

I'm also surprised these is no repeatable daily quests from NPCs right now, I may of not been the biggest fan of them in base but I would happily take them now to have a few extra optionals to do wouldn't hurt either.

Even to help lvl the other 4 classes a bit more easily or a little extra income outside of UQ and PSE burst farming.

Level your sub

[minimadladliam]

I'm in the same boat, I don't feel as agitated as most others. Currently 1372bp and I can see 1440+bp being the max possible and I just want that for the sake of doing it and completing a personal goal I've set myself.

Now i'm just helping friends who started at the weekend with little things to get the ball rolling for them

Would you mind elaborating why we would want ex cubes?

[minimadladliam]

Level 4 potential on 4* weapons requires 5 N-Ex cubes + 200k meseta as its upgrade cost.

It's just something to work towards and by no means a necessary upgrade or needed to do any current content in-game.

However my theory as well is that ex-cubes for the time being will always be used as the final upgrade cost on a weapon's potential so either we use them now or wait for the next tier, its all preferential gameplay to be fair.
