The first set of Heroic Quest Experience Changes is in! (Details may see further adjustment in the future.)
Experience for 4 quests has been decreased:
Desecrated Temple of Vol Making it less than 70% of what it used to be is quite heavy handed IMO.

Mining for Ancient Secrets Fair enough, only 2 required "kills" needed but I really don't think this needs a nerf

Reclaiming Memories
Previous Base XP on Heroic Normal: 3964 There is no need to nerf it, especially on elite HP bloat in IQ1/2 is insane.

The Deadly Package: Agent of the Darguul Fine. As Sirgog said, increase the flesh render optional. Tying optional XP to base XP is lazy development. An optional is played thousands and thousands of times, and you guys cannot estimate how much it should give based on it's own merit? BTW, stronghold key is quite good xp, it can be run invis in ~1:15-1:30, first bravery run gives ~5k iirc.

Overall, it's a good start. I love the cannith quests and now they might be worth running. Old habits die hard, hopefully more lfms for these quests will slowly reappear.

There are a few very obvious bad XP quests that were left off of the list, hopefully they get addressed in time.


The XP curves look fine for 2nd and 3rd lives.
