Spirit Mirror Pendant not working

[vidarfreyr]

I've played quite a lot of LoG but never have I seen the Spirit Mirror Pendant do it's job of increasing XP. I'll leave it hanging around the neck slot of the same character for multiple levels on end and I can't see any difference in XP between those that have it and those who don't. One would think that 25% increase would be obvious over extender periods of time. Am I missing something? A short google seems to indicate that other players see a difference. I am playing on a mac via Steam so I should be fully updated in case this were a bug. I'd love to hear success stories with this item and exactly how it increases XP, then I'll try and dig into it deeper.

Well, to test it for sure, you need to make sure every member of the party gets a hit on the monster (even if that hit shows "0" damage). Party members that don't hit only get 50% of the XP from the monster kill.

So, make note of everyone's XP, then fight a monster and make sure everyone gets at least one hit, then check everyone's XP again according to the monster XP gained. If the monster gave you 500 XP (uggardian), then three of your champions should be 500 higher, and the one with the pendant should be 625 higher.

Great comment Komag. I will try that.

btw. I'm currently playing your Master Quest. Good work.

It most certainly works. But keep in mind ranged characters have a great advantage in gaining XP since ranged attacks always hit. On many opponents your melee won't be able to get a hit in before the opponent dies, and the mage may be out of mana. In those cases only the ranged characters get full XP since they are the only ones who've hit.

I did the test Komag recomended and it turned out to work as stated. I must have been imagining this or almost human fixed a bug at some point. The latter is entirely possible from my perspective as I have not been using the Spirit mirror pendant for some time now, as I never saw the point in it. But I'll admit it is more likely its some kind of misunderstanding on my part.

glad that it's working for you, it's definitely helpful to level up just a little faster if you share it around the party from time to time. I included an extra one in Master Quest as part of one of the harder-to-get secrets
