Maplestory "High Five" Private Showcase

For skills that give additional experience, the experience formula has been adjusted.

I just noticed this on Max's blog.

 HS

 2x EXP Rest Coupon

 HS, 2x EXP Rest Coupon

 2x EXP Rest Coupon, Rune

 Rune, HS

 Rune, HS, 2x EXP Rest Coupon

In each image, look at the chatbox, ignoring the Burning Field Experience 100%, for simplicity sake.

1. HS
In this image, the last 3 lines of experience gained are:
Base Experience (24684) [1x]
Buff Bonus Experience (12342) [0.5x]
And then the burning field bonus.

For a total of 1.5x EXP, as one might expect.

2. 2x EXP Rest Coupon
In this image, we see the last 3 lines of experience gained are:
Base Experience (24684) [1x]
Additional Experience (12342) [0.5x]
And then the burning field bonus.

For a total of 1.5x EXP, which is definitely not what one would expect. Could it be that the rest exp coupons are only 1.5x EXP? Additionally, testing with a 30 minute 2x EXP coupon results in the same 0.5x line being added rather than another 1x line. (Note: I did not record how much experience I actually received, so this might be an error in output, but not in actual experience gained).

3. HS, 2x EXP Rest Coupon
In this image, we see the last 4 lines of experience gained are:
Base Experience (16720) [1x]
Additional Experience (8360) [0.5x]
Buff Bonus Experience (8360) [0.5x]
And then the burning field bonus.

For a total of 2x EXP.

4. 2x EXP Rest Coupon, Rune
In this image, we see the last 4 lines of experience gained are:
Base Experience (24684) [1x]
Additional Experience (12342) [0.5x]
Buff Bonus Experience (24684) [1x]
And then the burning field bonus.

For a total of 2.5x EXP.

5. Rune, HS
In this image, we see the last 3 lines of experience gained are:
Base Experience (24684) [1x]
Buff Bonus Experience (37026) [1.5x]
And then the burning field bonus.

For a total of 2.5x EXP. Here you can see that HS and Rune Buff experience now occupy the same EXP line, and that they (appear to) stack additively.

6. Rune, HS, 2x EXP Rest Coupon
In this image, we see the last 4 lines of experience gained are:
Base Experience (24684) [1x]
Additional Experience (12342) [0.5x]
Buff Bonus Experience (37026) [1.5x]
And then the burning field bonus.

For a total of 3x EXP.

I'm not sure what to conclude here, other than 2x buff coupons give 1.5x EXP for some reason, and that they now appear to be additive with HS rather than multiplicative, kind of like what we thought happened last time, but well, it actually is happening this time. I feel like there were already some EXP coupons that stacked additively with HS (just giving another 100% line rather than going into the EXP buff/coupon/card/HS line), but I don't believe Rest Coupons fall under that category.

I'm unsure if this change has already occurred in KMS or not, but I could check after the 5th job patch on Thursday.
