Legendary Croc gave 40xp - lol

[DeadStack]

I just killed a legendary croc which had 115 or so health and nearly killed me and I only got 40 xp. What a disappointment. I can fight desert folk which are 10 times easier and get 100xp as well as loot. I think you need to take another look at experience for legendaries.

it might be legendary, but its still just a crocodile

If you're getting 100xp from issachari, that implies you're level 10-14, which would make you two XP tiers above the croc (level 3), hence why the payout is so low. If you were the same level as the croc, it would still only give you 400xp. You were technically way overleveled from the game's perspective. Early-game legendaries are better for farming reputation than experience.

The issue is that the games handles the difficulty display for legendaries slightly different and can show them as a decent challenge for your current character.. but one that does not grant XP. They are basically showing like the issachari in difficulty assessment, but while that directly translate to XP bracket for almost everything in the game, it is misleading in some others like this.
