Hirelings - exp drain?

[Mojofizznut]

Do hirelings reduce your exp in DDO?

thx

no

not in a direct way no

you do get an extra 10% for no deaths, so if they die thatll take that away (this isnt really important tho, after all, most ah teh time your using a clr hireling

If you run a quest with a hireling, you will receive exactly the same XP as if you ran it alone or if you ran it in a full party with 5 other human players.

If a person in the party dies, then you will lose the 10% XP bonus for having everyone in the party survive through the entire quest. If a hireling dies during the quest, you will drop from a 10% no-deaths bonus to just a 5% just-a-hireling-died-and-no-PC's-died bonus.

DDO was made to be run with other people in your party, so the designers have mostly tried to encourage people to go into quests with other party members and part of that is to give people the same XP in a party as for running the quest solo even though they are "sharing" the work of the quest.

Almost. A hireling death takes away 5% of the bonus.

Was getting 24k for Lords of Dust. Popped my 1st hireling and it dropped to 20k. No hireling was higher level than me.

that's a nice attempt for the necro of the year

omfg 6 years lol

and they don't reduce xp, on summoning nor dying, what you saw was just another fluctuation of the daily bonus (sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't, but you get it on completion)
