XP bonus form scrolls & co not applying on quests in solo mode

[0rion79]

Hi all, I don't know if it is an already know bug but I have discovered what follows.

The bonus to XP coming from a high Intelligence score, items as rings of Wisdom, Scrolls or blessings at the altar of the Threes does not apply when the main character gains XP by completing a quest in solo mode, with no followers.

That bonus applies only when killing monsters in solo mode, or always when having a follower because of the reduction by -20%.

I did some quest about, for instance when putting some shard of fate back into the mirror: each shard provides 2K XP as a basic value.

If I have a follower and I use my boost, I get 2022 XP per shard (2.000 - 20% + 6% given by intelligence, +6% Wisdom Items and a +15% scroll that compensates and exceeds the penalty for having a follower).

If I dismiss the follower and I keep active the same equipment and scroll effect, I get a net 2.000 XP with no bonus, as if the game calculates a limit to XP.

Something is broken here!

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I think the issue hasn't been resolved yet. I'm currently writing some XP related stuff for the Wiki and therefore did some testing. Here's what I found:

No XP bonuses whatsoever are applied when travelling alone, neither for quests (as Orion already pointed out) nor for killing enemies (contrary to what Orion said).

When I have a companion, I get my 80% share + the expected XP bonus (e.g. from a scroll), so everything seems to be fine in this case. The same goes for companions when scrolls are used on them.

Of course, I cannot say how much XP is really earned, only what is written in the log. So maybe everything is fine and only the wrong values are displayed. But I think with v1.0 approaching, it's time for this to be sorted out.

Wait that's a bug? I thought scrolls literally works only by killing monsters not completing quests?

Checking my notes and the code again, thanks for reminding me.
