The recent update advised that genies would receive 10% of all exp to player up to the point the genie is the same level as the player. Since the update I have done the math on it and found that my genie is only getting 2.8% exp. My character is level 66 and my genie is level 18. So what happened to the 10%?

    Your genie gets 10% experience, modified by your level difference. With your level, the formula is:

    EXP gained * .1 * (18/66)

    So, if you get 1000 EXP, your genie will get 27.

    1000 * .1 * .273

    The modifier is the same as if you were to inject EXP into your genie directly (which should be 27.3% or so).

    There's an experience penalty depending on the level difference.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    New Genie System



    EXP Gaining with Genie has been changed so that Genies can now gain EXP while you kill monsters or hand in quests. Each Genie, while equipped, will gain 10% of the total XP gained. This is in addition to the EXP your character gains (Your character will not gain 10% less EXP). When your Genie reaches the same level as your character, and the Genie reaches 99% of its current level, the 10% EXP gain will be disabled. The old method of infusing EXP or Spirit, or the EXP cubes still remain.

    There is no mention of modifiers

    Well, the thing is, the penalty is the same as infusing your own exp. After all, otherwise it wouldn't make sense, one of them would turn out useless. Now they are just equal and infusing spirit or exp is just a way of getting the same results faster.

    I still don't get it. If an anouncement is made on the website that a certain thing WILL HAPPEN I think it should. I would appreciate a GM to comment about this.

    It IS HAPPENING, exactly as described. A 10% bonus of whatever EXP you are getting is being given to your Genie. The fact that your Genie can only convert that EXP at about 1:4 is the same rule that it has always been.

    If they had changed/removed this rule, then, yes, they should have said something. But the rule wasn't changed.
