race experience modifiersFollow

I was playing the other day and someone told me that the giant races get -exp% and the small ones get +exp%. Could someone post the races and their modifiers for a newb like me :)

six years, and people still cant spell iksar...

And for what it is worth, the exp penalty is not noticeable.

Yes, if you compare yourself to someone else in every aspect you'll notice a difference. For example...

You'd have to...

...kill the exact same mobs at the same level.
...hunt in the exact same zones.
...have the exacet same group make up.
...die the same number of times.
...get the exact same rezzes.
...get experience from the exact same quest.
etc.

There are so many ways to gain/lose epxerience in the game that measuring it against some other class/race is nearly impossible.

It also depends on the road you take to 70. You might notice it less if you plan on flying to 70 in a few days.

EDIT: I was mean/bitter to include the profile link.

put it back in, I missed it =-(

That has got to be a stripped toon used as a bazaar mule or something (I hope, don't mention that 12 day thing to me, I hurts my head).

Thank you Jophiel for the link and the list.

Oh and I wasn't going to post about you guys commenting on the profile of my character, but I’ve been commented on that more times than I would have liked. First off the equipment shown on eqplayers is wrong. Second, so I got 70 in 12 days worth of play time what of it. I got great groups and help from many players. I didn’t stop and get time and anguish flagged because I was more intent on having fun and leveling up. So what if I cant tank your Overlord Mata Muram or some other raid mob. People don’t just ding lvl 70 and suddenly have 15k hp and 5k ac. I chose the path of getting 70 first and my equipment second. I pay to play this game just like you do and if I chose to play a way that you don’t like then don't invite me to your group and leave it at that. You don’t have to take my profile and be malicious about it.

I know you removed it from your first post, but still I didn’t ask for you guys to look at character and make fun of the way I play. I only asked about race exp modifiers something I wanted to know about.

Sorry but I wasn't going to take it any longer.

Joe you do make a good point. I think the game has changed. I used to play back when velious was released and the game sure was different. Back then there was more of a status when you capped out your toon. if I ever had a question I would send a tell to a 50+ and they were usually knowledgeable enough to know the answer. I think the developers have slowly made leveling easier since PoP. The developers want more people in the endgame faster. Its pretty obvious that EQ is more focused on raiding and other high level events rather than slowly making your way to the top and learning a lot about the game.

speaking from experience, you most certainly do.

when the level cap is raised, and your guild takes a day or two off raiding to hit the new cap... you show up at the next day of raids as one of the only people not at the cap.

when you only duo your character with an RL friend... when they hit 40, they have to PL you/take xp deaths/or you have to xp some when they aren't on... because you are five levels lower than they are.

etc.
