Fellowships
Related topics: Fellowship Update History
Fellowships are temporary groups that can be formed quickly by recruiting or "fellowing" up to 8 (9 total) other players via the ingame Fellowship Panel. Once part of a fellowship, members can share experience, luminance and loot depending on the options enabled by the player who creates the fellowship.
See the official article, Coordinating a Fellowship, for more information.
Fellowship Bonus
During the The Gathering Storm event, a bonus was added to fellowship experience. This provides an incentive to hunt together as a fellowship. This option may be turned off by unchecking the Share XP option in the Fellowship Panel. The table below gives the amount of xp each member will receive as well as the "extra" xp generated by the bonus.
| Number in Fellow | Member Share | XP Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100% | 0% |
| 2 | 75% | 150% |
| 3 | 60% | 180% |
| 4 | 55% | 220% |
| 5 | 50% | 250% |
| 6 | 45% | 270% |
| 7 | 40% | 280% |
| 8 | 35% | 280% |
| 9 | 30% | 270% |
For example, if three people each killed 1 creature worth 100,000xp and they were not in an xp sharing fellowship, they would each earn 100,000xp. If however they formed a fellow and each killed 1 creature, they would each earn 60% of all three kills, or 180,000xp.
Fellowship Quests
Many Quests can only be completed with one or more fellowships either as a recommendation or as a necessity due to the quest's difficulty or mechanics such as lever pulling. However, some quests require that a fellowship is formed as a prerequisite before you actually can start.
