Me and my GF are leveling up in WOTLK. We both have the 50% more exp buff but she receives less exp than me.
It’s pretty annoying as we want to level up together and I always level up faster and then need to skip turning in a dozen of quests for her to reach my level. What is the reason for this exp discrepancy and how do we fix this? I am ok to receive less exp as long as we’re both receiving the same amount.
Are you slightly higher lv than her?
as in group parties more exp goes towards to higher lv player.
Also ensure you arent wearing heirlooms and she isnt etc.
This is because of the rested exp bonus …

Short version:
The cap on rested is 1½ level, or 30 bars. It takes 10 days of being offline in a full rested area(capital city or inn), to reach the 30 bars, this means you get 3 bars per day of being offline in resting area, or 8 hours per bar. Because it’s based on % of experience, resting is way stronger at high lvls.
Rested gives 100% increase to experience gained from mobs only yes.
I don’t know how much rested you get while you are outside of a resting area, it’s very little.
You get rested once you are in a town, eke stormwind ironforge etc…
You also get rested once you inside a inn, inn in elwyn forest for example.
You if you log out inside the inn and she logs out outside the inn this would explain everything already.
I’m not sure if the inn and towns give the same exp bonus.
Always thought towns gave more but I could be wrong on this one.
So if you go to a town or to the inn, make sure you both are inside.
If you log out, always do so in a town together, or both outside.
Are you perhaps using heirlooms that give exp boost?
I’m pretty sure you get rested xp regardless of where you logout, but you get a massively increased rate while logged out in an inn or major city. The rate is the same for inns and major cities.
I usually become higher level, although we sync levels time from time as she plays alone a little. I only play together with her. We synced at 40 and went to dungeons together also did some quests in STV. Now I’m 43 and she’s 41, almost 42.
No heirlooms. No rested xp. We log out together in the inn but play pretty frequently so we only get like 3-5 bars of rested exp.
If she play without you she will not have as much rested exp as you. Just tell her to get 1-3 bars ahead of you and you will sync up somewhat with time, number of bars depends on how long you are rested and she is not.
I am sure it’s not the rested xp as I made sure that the exp bar is purple (not blue, as it is when rested) and I was getting around 180xp per kill while she’s getting around 120xp.
It’s around 50% that I am getting more and we’re both out of our rested xp.
You are levelling together but not levelling together.
What you should do is start again and have your current character you level on your own and then have one you level together 100% of the time.
And you’re sure she had the JJ buff active? It is possible to diable it at inn keepers
Was just about to say if it’s 50% it could be joyous journey buff. U can turn it on and off in an inn, she might have turned it off by mistake trying to set the inn as her home etc
Ah, that was it. It’s really confusing as the buff is displayed in the character buff place and it said you’re getting 50% more exp although it was turned off in the Inn. Finally we’ll be able to level up together.
