XP question

[Kilbar]

I'm currently playing a 19th level Monk on Sarlona by the name of Regtur Edisnori. He has over 34,000 more XP than required to become 20th level. I'm holding off advancing to 20th to take advantage of the XP in some lower level quests that would be diminished or completely cut off to me if I advanced that one level.

My question is this. By not advancing to 20th, am I missing out on Epic XP or will the XP I'm accruing still count as Epic when I finally level up?

AFAIK (based upon what happened to me when I tried it) it will still count as Epic XP but it will not count to a destiny...

AFAIK the xp only counts towards a destiny when you have a destiny active.

So if I don't level up and start on my destiny, I'm really wasting my XP?

Pretty much.

You'll still gain generic XP, but quite frankly getting from level 20 to level 25 takes next to nothing, it's the Destinies that need the XP and it's the Destinies that hold all of the power.

You're gaining epic XP; however, you are not gaining ED XP, which is much more important. You're best off leveling ASAP unless you're waiting for people.

Well that settles that! Grandmaster of Flowers, here I come!

Yes. I think so.

Especially with a cap increase coming... banking to get to 25 so the repeat counter stops... well I bet they are still counting the repetitions and as soon as XPAC2 comes then BANG... lots of penalties trying to get to 28.
