Player XP from pet battles

I was trying to hit two birds with one stone by using the 100% Player XP buff on my alt, and also leveling pets by using the 200% xp for pets buff for this week event.

However, in battle pets I’m getting the 200% pet xp fine, but not the player +100% XP, is that intended? would be nice if the player xp buff work :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t see why you wouldn’t. I dinged an alt last week and got the benefit of the XP boost in my last few bars to 120. What battles were you doing? You needto be using pets of a similar level to the target to get char XP.

How do you get a 1000 % xp bonus

One time I leveled my mage from 100 to 110 by doing pet battles only. I don’t recommend you do that because you will end up with neutral rep and won’t be able to do world quests.

I’m using Sir Galveston in dalaran “Legion”

I’m receiving exactly 23,600 XP each battle, I didn’t though that was buffed especially that my bar is filling up slowly being level 104 on the alt, I’m using two pets lvl 25, and a leveler each battle.

Thank you.

I just tested with Sir G.

My (one remaining) 110 got 24900 XP. No looms. A normal quest XP for that character is 32900.

A pet battle against similar-top-level pets normally gives about 3/4 of a quest’s worth of XP. Sir G is giving 3/4 of a quest’s worth of XP. Therefore I assume, since that quests’s XP is doubled by the Winds buff, that the XP from the pet battle is doubled as well, since the ratio is consistent.

Looms don’t work on this, I’ve tested it with looms and without looms, still receiving 23,600 XP each battle.

You probably getting 24900 XP being higher level than my alt which is 104.

Looms do work. I have tested XP on pets many times.

The point is:

  1. Quest XP is scaled up with Winds
  2. A full battle gives about 75% of a normal quest
  3. The battle XP I saw is ~75% of a quest.
  4. Therefore battle pet XP is acting as it should.

This is awkward?

Ok so, I just literally did two battles,

one with looms on, next is without looms.

battle #1 without loom, received 23,600 XP.

battle #2 with full loom on, some items gives +10% extra XP, still received 23,600 XP.

So I don’t understand why it works for you, but not for me. you said it works right?

#EDIT: Now I’m receiving 27,140 after upgrading my looms to 3/4

They were 2/4 before, so that is probably why they weren’t working.

You’ll also miss out on gear from dungeons/quests, so when you get to BfA you’ll be weaker than a wet tissue. But hey, at least your pet will be swole.

The buff says “Battle pet experience gained increased by 200%.” Nothing about player experience.

Exactly that you need to keep looms updated .

If you are a higher level than your 'Looms then they don’t add their +XP%.

Thats why i said to keep them updated .
You might aswell have all pieces at 4/4 now with the leveling buff we have .

you shouldn’t get player exp in pet battles at all.
