XPs and charm / command / suggestion

[EnjoyTheJourney]

How does DDO handle mobs under the influence of charm, command, or suggestion powers, when calculating aggression / conquest bonuses?

1. Do charmed, etc mobs defeated by other mobs count toward the XP bonus total?
2. Do mobs defeated by charmed, etc mobs count toward the XP bonus total?
3. If you defeat a mob while it is charmed, does it count toward the XP bonus total?

1. A charmed mob killed by regular mobs counts towards XP bonuses but IIRC its death will seem to be 'missing' on the kill count sheet. (i.e. 19 kills, 12 Player, 4 Misadventure, 3 Unexplained - these are the Unexplained ones)
2. Yes, and their death is credited to Misadventure.
3. I can't think of anything players can do to kill a mob while it is charmed, other than dispelling a buff it needs to stay alive (such as a mob with the Rage spell on it, and only 1 hp left). Not sure what happens there - I think the death is credited to Misadventure.

its quite simple, any dead mob counts towards conquest.

if you pull up the exp report you can see who killed what, summons, charmed mobs, traps and all sorts of other ways a monster can die will be listed under "misadventure".

i like seeing how many kills mistress adventure can get in a quest, its fun :)

so, if you leave a mob charmed you wont get exp for it, it has to die to count, but any method of killing it counts.

If you have augmented summoning, you will have a ton of charmed mobs die as soon as the charm wears off...

I don´t think there is any risk at all to losing EXP by charming. It is my most cast spell, and I always get kill bonuses. My guess is the conquest bonus is linked to the ´OnDeathScript´of the mobs which fires whenever the mob dies, no matter what.

Thank you.

Dead = counts toward bonus XPs makes things very simple, and simple is good.
