...or that it's to balance out how not everything is "applied by the ratio directly." Afterall, you gain 5x the exp, but your death is only 1% loss either way instead of the mathematical equivalence of 5% loss each death.

5/5/3 doesnt mean base exp gain rate x5, job exp gained x5, drop rate x3?

silly me.

base exp x5 means all incoming base exp should be muiltiplied by 5. death loss isnt a numerical value, its just whatever 1% is. rate has no effect on that.

and yea basically all exp quests just got useless by a factor of 5 ignoring the other quest products.
