Well, looks like I just might get my Agent to Level 50 and get that Tionese gear before it gets vanquished afterall.

 

So, hang on a second:

 

Base EXP times 2 (Rested EXP) times 2 (Double EXP Event) + 20% (EXP Boost Stim) + 5% (Subscriber Bonus) = 425 % EXP, or is my math that off?

Good event, I for one hate grinding multiple lvl 50s and this should really speed up the process.

 

Thanks for the segue! Let me blow your minds :rak_03:

 

My understanding of the system is that all of our boosts will multiply from the new base of 200%, so now is the perfect time to get those Legacy perks and XP boosts. I will show you why.

 

Let's say you planned to level during the March to Makeb entirely through... Flashpoints.

 

200% base experience

+25% Flashpoint Boost

+30% Flashpoint Legacy perk

 

*THIS BONUS DOES NOT STACK WITH RESTED EXPERIENCE

 

Since both of the boosts are being applied to double base XP, they are also doubled. Do you know what that means?!

 

+310% bonus experience! That is over triple the experience. Enjoying your leveling my friends!

 

TLDR, yes they stack and for the math nerds it is multiplicative on top of the new base of 200% (assuming I understood it all correctly)

Cool, I might finally be able to be bothered to get my poor 44 missing guardian up to 50!

 

Or most likely I'll just powerlevel through pvp with my 31 shadow heh. Still, fun, and good idea to help people up the tree before the expansion drops.

 

Oh and another thing, thanks for my Luxury Skiff. Best. Mount. Ever!

Awww, too bad. So, with the base number of 200% experience, it's essentially just as if you are permanently rested. But the EXP Boost stims also are doubled in effect, so that's what, +40%?

So am I to understand that those with rested XP will not gain any extra XP from the promotion?

 

Incorrect. Rested experience only affects the killings of NPCs, double XP as a part of this promotion affects literally everything (space, quest rewards, PvP, etc). Technically, this double XP is way better than what you would normally get from rested.

 

Then, as I listed above you can increase those benefits through boosts and Legacy perks.

Nice I like that :jawa_cool:

One question though: the last double XP weekend beeing the 6th of April, is that a hint that the expansion is coming right after that or is it me just dreaming?

Just wondering considering the "end date" for those double XP weekends... :rolleyes:

Ah, I wasn't aware that the rested bonus only applied to killing mobs. Thanks for the clarification.

So essentially, these Double EXP Weekends spread the effects of Rested EXP to all activities instead of just killing mobs, but you will not run out of Rested EXP. Did I understand this correctly?
