Reaper thing I don't get

I see LFMs up all the time for people multiple levels under the quest level doing reaper diff.  Ex:  lvl 10 guy doing a lvl 12 quest on reaper.

What am I missing here?

Level 12 on elite or level 12 base ....... doing reaper at base level is most reaper xp. Necro 4 quests use to hit at 16, now hit at 14 for maximum rxp  Wink

No, I'm not missing it.  I detest reaper.

Overlevel penalties

There is a reaper XP over-level penalty (from the normal base challenge rating of the dungeon or raid) as follows:

    +1 - 20%
    +2 - 50% (typical Bravery Bonus maximum level for Heroic)
    +3 - 70%
    +4 - 80%
    +5 - 90%
    +6 - 95%

That still doesn't answer OP's question. The question is why you'd go into a quest when you're underleveled; i.e. you're level 10 in a base level 12 quest on Reaper. It's not like there's any bonus exp for doing so at level 10 instead of at level 12.

And sorry, but I can't answer the question either. My only guess is people like challenging themselves. Personally, I have enough of a challenge to even motivate myself to play DDO, so I oftentimes don't.

The OP most likely was used to running quests at BB, and as the vault explained, didn't realize that quest alike vale are level 16 for max reaper so, not base 18.

Is it just me, or do others keep having to double take when folks type racials?  I keep waiting for pics to load, to no avail.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

No that’s it.  The reaper companion is the 2.5 mill or so 2nd tier reward.
