I got the trial key for 5 hours of gwen. Did the Norn primary quest on my survivor Ele. I got a total of 10K exp for the quest. Wasn't it suppose to be 30K?

Here's a screenshot:



Before accept 432K after 442K. What gives?

Eye of the North Blow-out Event

To help celebrate, we'll kick things off with a special, ten-day event! Starting at noon Pacific Time on Friday, December 7, and lasting until 11:59PM PT on Sunday, December 16, players in Eye of the North will receive:

* Triple experience from all primary storyline quests in Eye of the North.
* Double the chance to receive rare items from chests, and triple the drop rate of Lockpicks in Eye of the North.
* Double gold and experience rewards for vanquishing Eye of the North explorable areas while playing in Hard Mode.

In addition, during the event, three special items will be added that can drop from all creatures in Eye of the North: Sparklers, Hunter's Ale, and Honeycombs.

Storyline quests.

IE: the ones that are missions.

The trialers dont get the bonuses, only the people who already have it. You just get to try it.

Dunno about that, but I didn't get triple XP either, and I have bought eotn a long time ago. Just did couple of them the first time on a char, and got the normal amount of XP.

Dunno where you heard this, but I haven't seen anything that agrees with you.

Uhh... you shouldn't have got 22 500 xp for Against the Charr. You only get a reward of 2500xp normally, so you should have gotten 7500xp.

I also took my survivor rit across to EotN so that I could take advantage of the extra xp rewards, and expected the storyline quests to mean all primary quests for EotN. Haven't actually tried the mission ones yet, since I decided I'd quickly get to the desert, ascend, and do all the secondary profession quests so I skill cap along the way.

So if someone could test the missions again and see if the right amount of xp is given out, it'd be great to know beforehand whether I'd be wasting my time (and risking my survivor, since the quests in EotN are a lot more volatile than the rest of GW). It'd also mean that Anet would have time to fix it if there is a problem.

Aha! sorry then, 7500xp seemed a little low for tripling up, and the quest screens all listed that as the amount (unlike the double rep weekend where they listed there original amounts). Guess I got my triple then.

In that case, it's only for the "Mission" style quests. The other primaries I've done were the same amount as listed on the wiki...

Alright, that's good to know. I also thought they would have just kept the xp in the quest log at the original amount, since that's what they have done for the other events, but I already checked on wiki, since I wondered how much more I would get for going through EotN during this event. Guess I'll just do all mission quests (up until Heart of Shiverpeaks, since I'm not going to risk my survivor doing that one).

XP past level 20 never really mattered to me. I really have nothing to do with all my unused skill points.

The triple xp is awarded to the "mission like" primary quests. For example, the Curse of the Nornbear awards 7500 exp.
