Did you know that bosses now give exp based on the same formula of normal enemies? (50/1000 exp per hp, instead of 25/1000.)

Anyway, every boss with multiple phases, that has its health bar reset between phases, give wrong exp. This is because the game doesn't actually know the real amount of health those bosses have during the entire fight, and it affects the final exp amount. So far I haven't seen anyone else talking about this problem.

Here is the current (and ever growing) list of bugged bosses. Please notify me if there are other bosses with the same issue, that aren't listed here.

* Queen Black Dragon - configured with 36k hp instead of 100k; gives 1.8k exp instead of 5k.

* Kalphite Queen - configured with 40k hp instead of 80k; gives 2k exp instead of 4k.

* Nex - configured with 200k hp instead of 240k; gives 10k exp instead of 12k.

* Normal mode Kerapac - configured with 200k hp instead of 520k; gives 10k exp instead of 26k.

* Hard mode Kerapac - configured with 450k hp instead of 1.7M; gives 22.5k exp instead of 85k.

* Arraxor/Arraxi - configured with 100k hp, and only gives 5k exp. I am not familiar with this boss, but I know the total health is much more than 100k.

* Vorago - configured with 250k hp instead of 1.25M; gives 12.5k exp instead of 62.5k.

* Rasial - actually has the correct amount of 800k hp, but gives only 20k exp instead of 40k.

See you in the next week.

Thanks for the post!

Yeah we're well aware and there are jobs in to handle these, unfortunately its more complex than just increasing the XP values for these, but nonetheless something we want to fix (albeit it's not super high priority)

The 'fix' is to have things like QBD have a full HP bar showing her full health rather than continually resetting each time you phase them, but that requires a non-trivial amount of rewriting phases etc

Of note for your list IIRC vorago and twin furies should also be there.

Rasial is the outlier, and I think with current kill times, could have his modifier removed without any real issue.
