Over the past few days, I've been getting highly varying amounts of XP from the basement elemental. One thing though hasn't changed: that thing is a beast. Today it slaughtered my companion with two untimely criticals -right- as it was about to die, so I ran and bought 4 alchemist's fires and volleyed them all, killing it with the last one.

I received an empty pocketbook, a dead friend, and 7 xp. :cry:

Our XP System has several random varying factors which may result in the amount of XP that you get varying over server resets. This is to prevent any one particular party from being "optimal" in terms of getting XP (so, for example, three-person parties won't always get more XP than four-person parties or five-person parties, all else being equal).

If the quest is too difficult, please post a Suggestion about making it easier.
