Player-Level Dungeon XP Adjustment - November 14

15 Nov 2026 · Kaivax on the official forums

TL;DR

Hotfixes now live change how dungeon XP is nullified when a high-level player is in the group.
XP from an enemy is now nullified only if the high-level player is more than 12 levels above that enemy.
The original restriction, added the day before the November 14 hotfix, nullified XP whenever an enemy was trivial to a high-level group member.
Blizzard says that restriction missed the mark in some dungeons because of the overall level range of their enemies.
The adjustment does not apply to instances that were already underway when the hotfix was deployed.

Yesterday, we updated dungeon play so that experience granted by an enemy in an instance is nullified if a high level player is in the group and enemy is trivial to that player. For some dungeons, the new restriction missed the mark because of the overall level range of the enemies in the dungeon.

With hotfixes that are now live, we’ve just deployed a further change to this restriction, making it so that the XP nullification only kicks in when the high-level player is more than 12 levels above the level of the enemies.

Please note that this adjustment will not apply in instances that were already underway when it was deployed (a few minutes ago).

Thank you very much!
