XP changes can devs clarify

[ArkoHighStar]

So we got a new xp bonus system listed below

A new bonus has been created that awards players for running quests consecutively on hard and elite difficulties. This Bravery Bonus is a 5% bonus (10% bonus on Elite) that will "stack" up to five times, or until a player runs a quest on Normal difficulty.
XP Rewards for first time completion on normal, hard, and elite are now 25%, 40% and 80% respectively.

Can the devs clarify how we get the consecutive bonuses, is it just running any quest on elite(including the same one over an over again), or is it something else like running new quests only?

[DemonMage]

Was already clarified.

The bravery bonus is a once ever per quest bonus and is not reset by LR's and GR's. The bonus is not added or increased until you run a new quest then the bonus is either increased or reapplied if at cap.

Was already clarified.

ok better but still not complete, does it get reset if I say run elite for first time and then then go back and do the same quest on normal, or does it only reset if I do a new quest on normal instead of elite.

Was already clarified.

thats not at all clear.

Was already clarified.

Nothing says "clarified" like examples.

For example, "example". Clear?

I agree with Arko - I wanna see some examples of how to retain thet bonus, how to lose it, and how to get it back.

Just an example, of course.

[Valindria]

i don't understand it yet.

[Khimberlhyte]

thats not at all clear.

Agreed. What I also want to know is if you run a mix of hard and elite, will it be based on the five highest level quests in your history (since you last contaminated your bonus with a Normal run), or is it going to be based on the five most recent ones (eg, after doing a bunch of elites, you run five quests as 3 hard, 2 elite, so would you be down to a 35% bonus?). Will five runs on elite through the Storehouse on Korthos be enough to get you the 50% bonus, and do you keep it on all hard and elite quests until you run something on normal?

Reading between the lines, and making a lot of assumptions, my guess on how it works:

Each quest keeps a count of how many times you've run Hard or Elite. These counts are independent, for each quest.

If you run Normal first, no problem. Doesn't mean anything, other than incrementing the total runs count.

If you run Hard or Elite, you're now on the "Bravery" track. If you run normal after this, you're off it, and can never get the bonus again on that quest unless you TR.

Each time you run Hard or Elite, the corresponding count is incremented, and you get the corresponding bonus applied to your current run. So if you NNNHHEE, you would get +10% on a new Hard run, +20% on a new Elite run. Run normal, and your bonuses go away. Say you run a Hard, so you're at NNNHHEEH; you'd now get +15% on a new Hard run, or +20% on a new Elite run.

Alternatively, it might remember only your current streak. So, NNNHHEE, you'd get +20% on Elite, but nothing on Hard.

But some Dev clarification (or even just someone checking it out on Lammania) would be great.

I am reading it differently I see it as new quests only, so you keep a streak alive so to speak by doing every new quest on elite first. Once you do the quest on elite first hopefully you can do it any difficulty without breaking the streak.

[Phidius]

...keep a streak alive...

Yes!!!
