    Default Calculating XP?

    I just ran Misery’s Peak on elite with my level 3 cleric. The base XP for elite is listed at 1660. I received 9212 XP upon completion. I can’t seem to get to that total; I must be adding up the bonuses incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated.

    Elite XP = 1660
    Ransack (15% of 1660) = 249
    Onslaught (15% of 1660) = 249
    Tome of Learning (50% of 1660) = 830
    1st Elite Completion (80% of 1660) = 1328
    Never played, played on elite, Bravery Bonus (20% of 1660) = 332
    Elite Streak (50% of 1660) = 830
    Daily playthrough bonus (20% of 1660) = 332
    Ship buff (5% of 1660) = 83
    30% pot (30% of 1660) = 498
    VIP bonus (15% [I think] of 1660) = 249

    Total of base XP and bonuses = 6640

    He didn't die and there were no over-level penalties.

    Some of those bonuses apply to the total xp earned not just the base xp. (Ship buff and xp pot for sure, maybe some of the others)

    Tome, pot, vip and ship buff are % of total xp, not base xp.

    You missed two bonuses in your calculations. Also, VIP, Ship buff, and XP pots are calculated from total XP earned, not base XP.

    Elite XP = 1660
    Ransack (15% of 1660) = 249
    Onslaught (15% of 1660) = 249
    Tome of Learning (50% of 1660) = 830
    1st Elite Completion (80% of 1660) = 1328
    Never played, played on elite, Bravery Bonus (20% of 1660) = 332
    Elite Streak (50% of 1660) = 830
    Daily playthrough bonus (20% of 1660) = 332
    Flawless Victory Bonus (10% of 1660) = 166
    Persistence Bonus (10% of 1660) = 166

    --------------------------------------
    6142

    Ship buff (5% of 6142) = 307
    30% pot (30% of 6142) = 1842
    VIP bonus (15% of 6142) = 921
    ---------------------------------------
    9212

    Default VIP bonus is now 10% not 15%

    I know this is very old, but for folks just starting out now (2017). This thread says that VIP is 15%. It's not, it's 10%. Not sure when/if this changed.
