    right!! I hope someone has parsed some numbers with the xp , so after tomorrow's patch will see what exactly we get with these "perk" xp bonus or if they are screwing us again

    best merc exp is to do Overseer quests and select exp only. at level 5 you almost get a AA per 12 hour mission.

    Doing 5 12 hr missions usually nets me around 7+ merc AA, selecting merc AA isnt the best option.

    oh yes should make that clear, don't select "merc" exp just plain exp. its a much better option at higher levels.

    Yep, I only do overseer a 2 or 3 times a week, and still almost maxxed out my Merc AAXP getting regular xp as the reward. Just be sure to pop your merc before you claim the rewards.

    You dont even need to pop out your merc after todays patch.

    *** Mercenaries ***

    - Experience granted from quests, tasks, and rewards (non-kill sources) will now increase your Mercenary Alternate Advancement Experience regardless of whether your mercenary is currently active.

    Patch notes indicate you don't need to have the merc out for this anymore.

    Also never forget the collectibles. Finishing a line (or branch) of a collection for a certain expansion and claiming the REG XP only (not aa), gets you a pretty nice merc XP amount. Most of these collections work where you have 4 sets of collections, and then a main which identifies the 4 (usually by zone I think). You get the XP/Merc XP for each and then an added bonus one for completing the 4. Bonus XP periods also for THE WIN. This is at 115 BTW.

    Whether it's from the Overseer collections or just running around and finding the shiny yellow balls, I cannot begin to say how many Merc AA's I got from finishing the collection/scavenger quests in as many expansions as I could. Also bonus the bags and trophies you get or number of trophies you can have active because of the rewards flags.

    Normal grind for merc XP is crud compared to Overseer or collectibles.

    I noticed that. I was not expecting to gain merc aa's while doing overseer waiting for go time in raids.

    The biggest boon will be for those who havent done the ToV missions. Up until now I dont know of anyone who brought their merc out, now they dont have to.
