3 levels above or 10 levels above?

This thread is almost 3 months old.

Please don’t necro old threads, A lot of has changed since then.

No. +3 is the cap for max. XP. You wont get less XP if you go higher. Just your killspeed might be reduced, so you get less XP per Time.

Ok, thanks.

I thought it was some weird cap that you got less xp for red mobs.

Thanks for clearing that up

According to RageGameVideos on youtube, they removed the level cap. Im not sure exactly where he is getting that info from but he stated it in this video at 5:15. Diablo 4 - 45 MILLION XP An Hour is Easy Now - ALL New Big Patch Buffs & Changes Tested & Explained! - YouTube
I cant find any other source where that was stated that though.

That’s hilarious.

Do you mean you’re doing +95-100 level sigils? Or that the mobs are level 95-100… if it’s the first thing then wow, props to you.

Why is that? It’s not indented to be hilarious.

25% xp boost from monsters that are 3-infinite levels above you. Base xp still goes up for kills but it’s not as noticeable as the 25% boost, and you’ll kill stuff slower generally after that.

Also entertainment levels might also be reduced as monsters will suddenly burst into pieces just looking at you if they are close in level.

If you can kill at the same speed go as high as you can. Most people just spread missinformation, the +3 level rule is just for a flat 25% increase in xp BUT the base xp for the monsters increases if you go higher, so if you can do +20 as fast as +3 ofc +20 is better.

The +3 thing mattered before the last patch. Now you might as well go as high as you can efficiently kill things. +3 levels higher than me i was getting an eighth of a level. Going 15+ i was getting a quarter+ a level.

What exactly is the destination that justifies the journey being intentionally idiotic?

I was wondering about this. Thanks for the clarity.

Please don’t comment on my threads from 3 months ago…

They don’t need to be necro’d

They have posted that in the patch notes don’t believe what you hear from others read them and you’ll never be trolled again!

+10 is the xp cap. (they just added that a few patches ago with the power leveling nerf) If your build can handle it, then why run anything lower? If it can’t, I usually hover around +5 levels for speed.

10 now. Xp also depends on what monsters are on the map. Some are more prolific than others. Little critters that multiply are usually excellent. Big map vs little map. Some ppl min max and farm the same dungeon over & over but that’s very grindy.

For non-xp purposes, meaning loot (quality of), what’s ideal for farming in terms of how many levels above?

About nm 60 most drops are ancestral
Uniques are the same in normal or nm

Addendum- When I hit 100 i just started killing stuff outside for a change of pace. Soooo many goblins. Lots of hard to get unique drop. I got another azurewrath. Great wpn lol. Got 80/80 temerity pants too. I keep getting better rolled uniques just blasting torment. Also im trying to do all 80+ dungeons.
