Just tested right now. Resting bonus, no 5% channel bonus.
Well, realize that,without Resting EXP Bonus (which is +50% EXP) is the Normal EXP, you guys are mistaking things.
You go Offline in Port of Winds while going to bed, like everybody does, and then, while getting the 50% Bonus EXP from Resting EXP, claim that the EXP is normal.
What we are talking about here is the NORMAL EXP, no Resting Bonus, no 5% EXP channel, just the plain EXP, and seems like the mobs in Frigid Canyon, being in your level range, gives about 2-3k EXP, when before Thanksgiving Event, around this same level, I was getting 4-5k EXP or more.
Damn it, if the EXP was right I wouldn't be wasting my precious time to post here, but since something IS wrong, its not only me, or the OP complaining about it, but alot other of players!!
What you think it is? A conspiracy? Like its totally easy to make up that "EXP is reduced" and drag alot of HONEST to lie with you, and make everybody think the EXP is bugged. BUT IT IS! Its bothering me, I didn't level up for days because I just cannot stand this horrible EXP rate that is now, I can't stand having to kill 3 mobs to get 0.1% EXP, when I used to kill only 1 to get 0.1% EXP.
So think about it, MANY people are complaining, with exception of a few ones that didn't really notice it, and how some people even QUIT the game, and I can notice my friendlist activity dropping, so tell me how this can be a lie?
Or its only Frigid Canyon, Arka F6 and Van Cliff's Mansion (that used to give 9-10k with normal exp, but is giving this same value with Resting EXP). Or the whole game is doomed with this, and people just don't want to admit it!
And to finish, I'll once again tell you all what happened to me to reach this conclusion. I regreat 'til death to NOT TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF THAT, but just read carefully.
On the Monday, Final day of the Thanksgiving Bonus EXP Event, which started at Thursday, I was gridning with a Full Party in Arka F6, my final EXP gain after every Full F6 run (10 rounds) was of around 6-7%. The Event was due to end at 9am, Server Time, and I was inside F6 by 8.58am.
I would get around 8k EXP per monster inside F6, while the Event was running. When they announced the end of the event, and the extension of a "40% Item Mall Bonus" until 8pm or something, I realized that the EXP decreased, from 8k to around 4-5k. Alright, Correct, that would be the normal EXP for a whole party inside F6. Realize I wasn't using any EXP POTION nor had RESTING EXP, it was the Plain Game EXP.
2 minutes later, all the party members realized ANOTHER decrease in the EXP gain. We noticed our EXP decreasing from 4-5k to 2-3k! I swear to god it did, and i'm not here to lie. And on the last Defense Order scroll we had, we confirmed the EXP was still at 2-3k, without Resting EXP, and without Potions. The party members complained, and at the end of the Whole F6 Run (10 rounds) the EXP gain was of 1.50%!!!!!!! We realized it was WORTHLESS to run F6 like that, and the fact was confirmed by the friends in my list. Guild members, in the day after, also started to comment over the EXP decrease, and since then, this issue is bothering me, and alot of other players you see, posting about EXP rates.
Now, Idk what happened to these people that are claiming there are no chances, are you either chosen ones, or not remembering the EXP gain that it was before Thanksgiving, because I did. I wish I could only remember the names of the party members that were with me in that day, so they can confirm the fact with me.

). The Dragon Saga population is already low as is and will continue to decrease further if this issue is not resolved. Leveling is harder than ever!
