Barrows of the Sleeping King - No XP from monsters

[Anastian]

Where:
Sithicus - Barrow of the sleeping king - All Ebon Order monsters and salt shadows

When:
08/05/2022, apparently nothing specific triggered it

What:
The monsters killed in the Barrows of the Sleeping King were not yielding any experience to our party (no level 20 character participating to the best of my knowledge). Only a few, random monsters did yield XP. Unfortunately I couldn't get any screenshot as the fight was extremely heated and we didn't manage to finish the dungeon. I can confirm that after clearing all of the monsters and resting at the end of the dungeon (without killing the Sleeping King) the XP message I received wasn't "proud", but just "You felt like the time spent was enlightening", so only the RPXP was collected. This was confirmed by the other party members as well.

Recreate:
Simply run the dungeon again - We will likely retry tomorrow

A level 20 in your party would not stop XP from appearing regardless as Sithicus is end game content. Not sure what would be causing that but I'll see if I can re-create it.

Dear DM/Dev Team,

I was also within the group (L19), it was really strange. We did not get any XP in this dungeons. This counts for the whole group with various levels.

Kind Regards

I can confirm that my character, at level 17, received the "almost nothing has happened" message after clearing until the king. My character is also completely uncapped (whatever the mist throws at you). The strange thing is, that it showed experience gained in yellow in the combat log for kills, but obviously, other than a little RP xp, nothing else was gained for the entire Barrows.

[Maelthor]

Was just there again, and the same thing tough place to get no xp!

[Evendur]

I can confirm this as well.
My impression was that the Knights do not result in any XP and only the salt shadows did.
At the same time the knights seemed to be stronger as well, possibly ignoring DR at times as if they had unholy sword.
I have some screenshots indicating this at times in case any Devs want to take a look.

[PrimetheGrime]

We'll take a look into this. My schedules a little hectic atm but when I can, I'll re-create the issue and test it before I send it through to the rest of the Team

[PrimetheGrime]

Alright, so I've tested the dungeon and I had no trouble getting XP ticks from any of the npcs. Are you certain none of you were either under the effects of blindness or were much lower in level than the content you were trying to do?

[Anastian]

Character was level 18 and was fresh at the time of the run (yellow text xp). Has the server reset since the other day? Perhaps it was a temporary glitch?

[PrimetheGrime]

I would suggest trying it again. Remember if you have a vast level difference between your party the chance for xp is much lower

[Maffa]

maybe a log would solve a bit of mysteries? you can show someone in the know who where in the party and what the difference was (unless there were 5 lvl20s lurking nearby and sucking your xp for the giggles)

We did a (chaotic) barrows run yesterday and git XP.

Level 20's wouldn't be sucking XP, they're at the appropriate level for something like Sithicus
