Double Exp Weekend

A quick but important note from EQLive: "From around 10:00 a.m. PDT on Friday, May 22nd until around 10:00 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, May 26th, EverQuest adventurers will be surrounded by a magical DOUBLE experience increase. And double XP means 100% extra XP, or 200% XP... Whichever way you want to look at it, that's a lot of XP! Happy adventuring!"

LoTD exp bonus does stack...

From what i remember....burning Lesson used to stack when getting a 2x exp bonus....

Formula: reg exp = 100% (normal) + exp bonus weekend (2x), would = 200% normal exp per kill or 2x normal AA exp. Then add in Lesson, which would give a grand total of 300% exp per kill.

LoTD only equals 2x "normal" exp...so, that would only = 200%, plus a double exp weekend only equals 2x normal exp.....so technically you may think it should = 400% exp, but in reality it is only 300%. But who in their right mind would complain about 300% for 30 minutes...then reverting back to 200% normal exp for the rest of the time? NOT ME!

(Recap) -
    normal exp
= 100% +
    2x exp bonus
= 100% +
    LoTD
= 100%, total = 300%

Not sure if maybe this time around, LoTD will stack, in years past, when getting an exp bonus, LoTD always stacked with it.
Have no clue what modifier a HOTZONE would add to that, for i'm not sure how much additional exp a hotzone grants per mob...i think it would also be added to it; so you could adjust that in, also....maybe HZ's could possibly give you like: 305-310% exp per kill?....whatever the HZ factor is..

Hope that clarifies things for some people.

The only time I gained more than one level with one act (killing a mob, quest turn-in, etc.) was in Gloomingdeep during the initial Jailbreak mission on a Double XP weekend. I handed in the key and went from level 1-3 (and a good portion of the way to 4). I feared it was some kind of bug I was exploiting (I didn't know it was Double XP weekend until I did an OOC about the insane XP gain).

In the past LoTD and potions always worked with it since mobs and quests gave double the exp. Now since we'll be in a 2x exp bubble that makes me wonder if it's almost like a 4 day LoTD effect and maybe won't allow us to stack the pots or vet aa. We'll have to find out in 2 days!

Too many toons to list.
Emarr Ftw!
w00t!

w00t! Been a long time since we got a 2x exp bonus...iirc, last time was because of a super-botched patchday that turned into a few day broken patch fix.

C'mon lvl 80 and hopefully another 50+ AA's this weekend.
