I recently completed collections on several alts. I noticed that 2 of them only got 1.920% xp instead of 2% like the others (same collection)
I didn't know that would influence collection exp. Now for the next question: how do you turn off xp-sharing for characters that are not in a fellowship.
Then if you aren't in a fellowship, did you level up on the exp? It's not adding 2 to the displayed number, its adding raw exp equivalent to 2% at your current level. If you level up in between, the remainder you get for the next level will be less than 2% because you need more raw exp.
You mean whether the collection xp caused them to ding? No, they did not. Both were somewhere between 30% and 40% into the next lvl.
It's not just the xp from collections. I noticed it during the recent bonus xp periods, when I was using Overseer to get some xp on alts. Most of the time, I'd get the expected xp gain messages. But, sometimes, I'd get 1.495% (or something else just a tick under the expected 1.5% from a 12 hour common task during a 50% bonus). It would be like once every 2 or 3 rotations, across 3 accounts.
Have you been doing it in the same zone? Some bug resulting in less exp claiming overseer in certain zones was happening, maybe the same thing.
