    all I know is that my character is still 92 after doing the newsies and a ToT LAD even on normal days i get more then 1/4 of a bubble in the LAD per kill. I also had a 110% potion running and the altar from ToT 10% so should have been leveling faster. btw vitality was not going down noticeably like other times. logged off and stil had 95% vit. bonus xp was not turned on.

    I just did a simple test on Skyfire.

    Killed 1 mob:
    "You have gained 122 XP plus 583 XP from bonuses."

    583/122 = 4.77 Now 4.77 is as close to 480% bonus as it's going to get in round numbers (200% Vitality + 180% Veteran + 100% Server)

    I just sold a Lesser Essence of Illusion to my guild commodities exporter. If it's double status, then why did I get 300 personal status vs the 600 it should've been? I asked in general and I was told it's only on status quests, but I'm not sure that makes sense. Can someone please clear this up for me? Thanks!

    Selling items such as shineys, L&L or Moonstone Amulet no longer give double status. I know things like the amulet used to - they sold like hotcakes during double status events, but think that was changed before or shortly after status was added to so many other items.

    Well that sure stinks! Thank you for clearing that up for me!

    I would say it may well depend on your guild level and the level of the item. I had no issue get double status for my guild this morning, on most stuff, but at level 51 I guess my guild is at a low enough level to benefit.

    Yes, the guild status is doubled (if the guild level is low enough). The issue is with personal status from items, which is not doubled.

    For example, your log shows you received 575 personal status for an item, and the guild got 115, which is double the normal 10%. However, it the personal status was also doubled to 1150, then the guild would have gotten 230.

    Sorry if I get the details wrong but I'm not home right now.

    I bought one of those 10pk merc crates a while ago and I still have most of the tokens. I think I can sell them for status? If I can would my guild earn double status?

    thanks

    it's quest status that is mainly doubled, not the rest...

    Quick Question: If faction is doubled, shouldn't I be getting double faction rewards for "the never ending mending of a broken land quest?
    http://eq2.zam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=85eb1bd62115515c0580b6a0e7a28a53

    It says in the quest description that I should be getting 2k normally, so I would assume I would get 4k with the doubled faction bonus. I have only been getting 2k on it.. I double checked today and I had 6200 with seekers of the dark truth prior to turn in and after turn in I only had 8200.

    Faction isn't doubled, just XP, status, and guild XP.

    So here's a thing: is this intended? If its *not* intended, we gonna get Drundered for selling status items now? What a sticky wicket indeed. Reminds me of those "free" server transfer tokens of yore.

    Double status.*

    Absolutely! This thing should've been in place BEFORE it was released (and kept there), so it could've been properly tested. I didn't even care about it for the longest time, since I had no one on Test even remotely close to the level needed (either adventuring or crafting), but after hearing so much about its inaccessibility to us Testers and seeing the chained whatevers-they-are all over, cluttering up the place, now I'm getting irked about that lack, too. :-/
