Hi, I have put in a ticket but would like to inform others that the x12 exp is not stacking with event like advertised on the info for hyper exp. I know its still a lot of exp even without it working like that but some may choose not to use them till its working properly. If anyone else has experienced it also please say so. No flames please just trying to see if maybe it was just a bug with me and a few others I know of.

    My understanding is that it's additive, not multiplicative. In other words, 2x and 12x together don't make 24x, they make 13x. I haven't tested it, but it seems plausible.

    If so, that would mean that "stacking" hyper experience with a training esoterica would give you 12.5x experience, which seems fairly close to pointless.

    Training esotericas specifically don't stack with hyper XP (nor with double XP, for that matter.)

    Thats not how I read the patch notes... Kantorek said

    AFAIK from what has been said its that ^^ . It x13 and was never ment to be x24 with the double xp event

    Its not obvious at all. What he stated is pretty ambiguous.

    "Also, keep in mind that this 2x EXP event WILL stack with the new Hyper EXP item!"
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Hmm, I guess stack means that its added. So I'm guessing that a 3 hour x4 Hyper Exp session will turn out to be x6 when used during the event?

    Another thing, do the Hyper Exp stones increase the exp
    acquired when completing quests?

    And now faith, hope, and charity remain; but the greatest of these is charity.

    Actually its x5. The Hyper Exp is x4 and the event is another x1 (figure normal xp + x1).

    No, it only affects the xp of mob kills.
