1.5xp bonus not on every monster?

Anyone else having this issue? Is it supposed to be this way? I'm getting the extra 50% for just about every 5th to 6th monster I kill.

    Are you killing boosted monsters or weakened monsters? Enemies like increased movement speed, sacrificial assault, yield more exp. Enemies with weakness yield less.

    I didn't think that mattered for the promotional exp bonus they've been telling us about. In any case, sometimes the heightened monsters give extra, sometimes they don't. Yet they're always more than the regular ones.

    But sometimes, a regular one will give the higher xp because of the bonus...

    I just thought it would be for every monster. Doesn't seem to be at all. (regular or not, 1.5x is 1.5x.)

    Also, don't kill monsters your level or under your level. You won't receive much experience from Mobs that are your level or under your level range, If your 34 try killing mobs that are 36-37. I'd suggest killing flying mobs or water mobs, I prefear flying over water mobs.

    :D

    Actually, I find killing mobs lower than you is faster experience, because in the time it takes you to kill, say, 5 monsters about 2-3 levels higher than you, you could have killed closer to 15 monsters 2-3 levels lower than you. At least, that's how it works for me. That's all grinding really is, just finding monsters to kill constantly, until you need to find some others.

    I would agree here. I usually kill monsters 1-2 levels below me, since I can kill those a lot faster than monsters 3-4 levels above me. I also need less resting. I'd say the XP/minute ratio is higher overall, that way.

    Not at all what I am meaning to say.
    But it doesn't matter, my own test proved me wrong.

    I will go hide in shame now. Or assume catshop form. Yes, I like the second option please.
