blue portals exp is random, what else is random?

It says that portals give 5 experience, but I have been testing it for a while now by opening one portal then extracting, to two portals then three portals etc. Checking the amount of exp after each extraction, so far it has been random:

one blue portal = 5-8 exp (two times tested) two blue portals = 10 exp (two times tested) three blue portals = 15-18-33 exp (three times tested)

a gold coin gives 1 xp

i just tested extracting with only 1 gold coin looted and XP increased by 1 with no other XP causing actions taken

Defunct System

This isn't how acquiring Bluestone works any more (but I wish it still was). Now you get one point towards earning a single Bluestone each time you successfully extract. Each level you reach, the requirement becomes higher.

Terribly Calculated

It says "The amount of XP rewarded is independent of the quantity in the stack. For example, a 1x Uncommon Ale rewards the same amount of XP as 3x Uncommon Ale if they are in the same stack. As such, splitting the stack will reward more XP."

This is just like.. nonsensical right, they'll change this eventually????

It says "Dependent"

Whats the point of higher character levels?

No extra stats? After 25, exp doesnt really matter. Whats the point?

anonymous | Posted on Jun 18, 2024 at 12:55 am

Seemingly they are going to add a system to get new spells and abilities but currently its just for a higher level reward every 10 levels after 20. Like you get a choice of 1 of 3 items of (from what I've seen) blue quality and up.

Exp & Trap disarming

Do you get exp for interacting with traps by disarming them? I have a feeling it does but no solid evidence.

Looks like hunting trap is in the list of props that give XP

I'm wondering about the standard traps as opposed to the hunting traps.

After testing multiple runs. I can confirm that interacting with floor spikes and disarming them gives NO exp when using the lock & pick pocket rogue perk. I have not tested whether disarming with disarm kits gives exp.
