How elixirs stack with double XP weekend
Hai guys! There are several threads about this issue, so I decided to just make a post to spread the word about how double XP multiplies with stacking elixirs. As you know, double XP weekend multiplies the effect of your elixirs. It also multiplies the effect of your stacking elixirs. The stacking past is a little hard to explain, and I just learned that I was adding an extra 1x multiplier in my past descriptions of this. SO...here is some clarification for those who are interested. :)
Say the base XP you get from an NPC is 1.
A 4x multiplier will multiply you base by 4: 1 base XP + 3 additional XP, for a total of 4 XP.
A 2x multiplier will multiply your base by 2: 1 base XP + 1 additional XP, for a total of 2 XP.
So, now let's look at how these work together.
A 4x multiplier plus a 2x multiplier will add the benefits of both of these elixir to you base XP: 1 base XP + 3 additional XP + 1 additional XP, for a total of 5 XP.
Now, let's double that for double XP weekend: (1 base XP + 3 additional XP + 1 additional XP) times 2, for a total of 10 XP.
My test validated that double XP is yielding the results described above:
1 kill with no elixir: 2 XP
1 kill with 2x week-long elixir: 4-5 XP
1 kill with 2x week-long elixir and 4x thrasher: 10-11 XP
