    if you are 5 levels over the enemies you will not get exp

  • Is this any type of XP? If you are talking research xp, most kinds of creatures require a certain number of items to be turned in before you get to the stage where bonus damage is awarded. If you look in the codex, the creature card will have a progress bar that needs to be filled to get the second star on the card (there are 2 stars on the top right of the card). Low level hunting creatures will stop giving xp early because you too many levels above them (nugs, fennecs). If you go into tactical mode before a fight, you can select an enemy and it should show their level among other things. Try fighting an enemy at or above your level and see if you get any xp. If you read books you should also get xp. Or close a rift and get some xp. If none of these things work, your game might be broken somehow. Trying starting a second character and see if xp is earned on the second character. If so the first characters game might be the only thing with an issue, not the game. If so, it might be the patch has caused another bug, though I haven't seen complaints of that on the bioware patch thread, only graphic and frame rate issues.

    I started having the same problem today.  I am at level 17 and am fighting enemies as high or higher than me and I am not gaining xp.  I am not gaining xp in any manner. I have closed rifts and finished quests and have not gained any xp.  I have not cleared my cache yet but any help would be appreciated.

    Actually, it's "Three levels higher than the enemy" when you get zero XP.

    I don't know.......my character is at level 24 as are a few of the other party members. I waited till I was around level 20 before I killed the dragons, and then I killed all 10 of them in one session. Got a big boost in levels then. Also, make sure you close every rift in each area.

    Now i am not getting xp sometimes when i read books.....would be nice of EA to adress the problem. If the game is made like that to prevent leveling up too fast i dont care but i just wanna know my game isnt bugged after sinking 50+ hours into it.
