Wild Elf Preferred Class

MLoki · Post by **MLoki** » Tue May 02, 2006 4:57 pm

Found a small problem that I thought the Devs might want to know about. Not sure if this has been noted before but it seems as long as I was taking Druid with my Wild Elf I was getting the normal bonuses for leveling in my preferred class. When I finally took a couple levels of Monk I started getting a Multiclass xp penalty? I thought having a preferred class ment that you could take another class and not get a penalty as long as you had levels in your preferred class? Is this penalty supposed to work like this? Here are the differences in xp from another toon of the same level as we took note going through Ice Giants.

Wild Elf Druid 21/Monk 3

CR 23 - 116xp, CR 24 - 135xp, CR 26 - 231xp, CR 31 - 523xp

Dwarf Fighter 5/Monk 7/Dwarven Defender 12

CR 23 - 125xp, CR 24 - 169xp, CR 26 - 289xp, CR 31 - 654xp

Not sure how this is figured in but it seems that the Dwarf gets his full xp for having his preferred class in the mix where the Wild Elf does not. Perhaps this will be fixed when they update Sub-race skins but I thought it may need some looking into.

Lol.. i have a couple wild elves too.. and they're ECL 1 .. so xp is calculated 1 lvl higher I believe.... mine are getting 20% penalties and one is bugged (haste has NO effect on her!) so hard to confirm.

Actually up until I took Monk levels I was getting the same xp as any other character of my level. No ECL is listed and no XP penalties were applied until I multiclassed.

Somewhere on the forums it was mentioned that the subrace preferred class does NOT allow you to mulitclass without penalties.

Base race preferred class is still in effect.

Ex. If you took subrace wild elf then you would get 10%xp bonus at each lvl.
However for muliticlassing purposes, wizard would still be in effect. So you could take wild elf wizard/(any other class) and receive no penalties.

Thank you for that explanation and hopefully it is something they can fix someday. Just thought it was kinda odd.

not trying to get at anyone, but if people don't know the answer, please don't post, or at least qualify it with 'i think ...' or 'as far as i know ...'. the wrongness:rightness ratio of this thread is quite impressive.
