Camelot Grab Bag Q&A

Mythic’s Sanya Thomas has once again posted her weekly Grab Bag Q&A on the Camelot Herald. This week, she addresses questions about siege damage in towers, the game’s feedback form, keep capture quests, and more. An excerpt:

Q: I have a question about artifact experience. I thought I read that if you are in a group that the exp is the same as if you are solo. EX: A shadowblade friend and myself both have the Golden Scarab Vest. When we kill together it seems it takes more kills to earn xp for the both of us. These numbers are from killing the scarabs at loc 55k47k atum. Solo, three of them equals 1%, while grouped with my friend it was more on the end of 6 or so. So I am asking, was I wrong about the xp for artifacts being not split?

A: Sorry, I’m afraid that this rumor is wrong. (Got a lot of these this week, much to my confusion.) From the Mistress again: (Artifacts earn a percentage of the experience earned by the player. This does mean a player killing a particular mob solo will earn more experience than would be earned by killing that same mob while in a group.)

For my part, I would like to thank you, good sir. Your letter is a shining example of the PERFECT feedback letter. Had there been a bug at the root of your problem instead of a rumor, you gave me enough information so that our testing team could track down the problem and get it solved immediately. Bless your heart. You can send me questions until the cows come home.
