Quest Experience is completely wrong for almost all quests

I was curious why everyone was leveling so fast vs vanilla so i did a bit of research and found most quests are giving about 163% higher exp than they should be.

Here’s a snippet of the differences of the top 40 quests taken from the strategy guide vs classic wow(classic wowhead)

The printed strategy guides from vanilla WoW are notoriously bad about having incorrect or outdated information in them.

2 Likes

not to mention 1.12 had some xp changes to help leveling. Not only reduction to needed xp to level but also quest / mob xp rewards. I am assuming the guide was pre 1.12 patch but I could be wrong.

Both wrong, Sorry

Patch 1.12 has no changes to exp requirements to level or quest experience rates, I’ve checked every patch note from 1.0 to 1.12.1 no mentions of experience reduced per level or increased per quest.

They were reduced from beta to live vanilla which is exactly what the guide shows; vanilla values not beta values.

Classic wow seems like a carbon copy of a private server which had increased the quest experience and reduced the exp required per level to make up for broken quests which is 100% not accurate to vanilla wow much like Classic wow doesn’t reflect the true experience rate of Vanilla.

Your suggested value for the quest “Your Place In The World” = 25
Actual reward for the quest as seen in Joana’s 2006 WoW video = 40


You’re wrong.

You know that quests give you different amounts of exp depending on your level right… lol they’re both correct, 25 and 40. The base is 25, they completed it below recommended level(quest level) so they got 40 exp, basically blizzard is using the exp+++ instead of exp+ for base level of exp. just look at the strategy guide to see what i’m talking about. just search for this: World_of_Warcraft_World_of_Warcraft_BradyGames_Official_Strategy_Guide

That is not how XP in vanilla has ever worked. If a quest gives 40xp, you get 40xp UNLESS it is 6 or more levels below your character level. At that point, a formula will calculate how much XP you will get, ranging from 80% to 10% of the base XP (https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Experience_point#Quest_XP).

Here’s Your Place In the World showing 40xp: https://web.archive.org/web/20060313190615/thottbot.com/?qu=4641
This is a Level 1 quest, literally impossible for you to be below the quest level for it.

Blizz did about a bazillion changes outside of patch notes back then.

And again, much of the printed material was just flatly wrong from the moment it released.

Hell, blizzard’s own instruction manual at the time said dwarf mages were a thing.

How did u even work this out lol

I worked this out from the original strategy guide which listed every single quest and its experience, yes I went through every single one and added it to a spreadsheet so i could copy/paste it here.

Its the main reason people aren’t taking 6+ months to level to 60 like it was way back in the day when people new no better. Yes there was still speed levelers back then with all the guides etc but most were using cheesey tactics that aren’t available in classic like getting guards to kill mobs for you doesn’t yield full exp, standing around when a mob is at 15% hp for 20+ seconds without hitting it then killing it only gives you 15% exp instead of 100%, tagging mobs and getting a friend to aoe them down yeilds however % dmg you did to each mob instead of full exp, you used to be able to boost characters by killing world elites near dungeon entrances but you can’t anymore.

By default the experience rates are just all over the shot.

I’m glad they did fix the insanity of SM 10 man raids during the first week, that was extremely broken and ruined the leveling experience of many many people, but meh at the end of the day the game starts at 60.

It used to be about the journey now its about bis min/maxing which has changed the game as a whole :smiley:

Check out the Thottbot archives and you’ll see that the values in classic are correct.

Not for everyone. I, for one, am still well and truly enjoying the levelling experience.

Started out Horde, got my first 60. Got a second to 58 before deciding to level a Paladin, currently level 36 after 2 weeks of casual play. :3

The quest experience values in Classic are 100% patch 1.12.1 correct.
