Currently there is a 15% XP boost running through this weekend. Does this apply to XP stones or only quests/reaper xp?

Only the VIP bonus applies though.

If you are not VIP the regular bonus does not apply.

Ok did some math:

2,000,000 - XP stone      
1,000,000 (50% XP pot)
100,000      (voice of master)
100,000      (guild bonus)
200,000      (VIP bonus)
300,000      (15% VIP weekend)
3,700,000      

Just 100,000 short of cap. Damn with this bonus running till March 3, looks like I can complete my racials  Cheesy Cheesy

If you stoned inside a quest would that count?

Nope. Only the VIP bonus plus XP potion (make sure to run a 50% pot) and the Voice (or Augment) and Ship Buff bonuses count.

Bonuses to Heroic or Epic or Reaper XP do not count on Otto's boxes. Buddy bonus and other quest XP bonuses do not work either.

But this is 15% VIP XP bonus, in addition to 10% VIP XP bonus - so ideally it should count? It is not a quest xp or reaper xp boost.

Sorry if I was unclear. The VIP bonus does count.  But any "in quest" bonuses do not count.

VIP is increased to 15% this weekend too, per their FB page.

So a stone should give you 3.8mil.. Instant cap!

Incorrect. 3.7 million.

I'm actually slightly bummed I'm out of lives to do. I mean I guess on my alts but with no tokens I'd only be able to do a couple. Ah well.

This may be redundant, but just to be clear, there is no kind of bonus on stones for non-vip accounts.

To check I burned a heroic on a dummy account with only a guild 5% and a Sov 50% running.

Got 3.1 million.

Where is this posted?  I don't see it on the motherboard.

They wouldn't have a 15% xp bonus and not tell people, would they?

Why the fuck would you burn a stone with only 5% guild? It takes.. what.. 30 seconds to ask for a ship invite and get 15%?


Because I have over a hundred various boxes lying around and I couldn't be bothered to pull a voice out of the bank, or anything else, just wanted to satisfy my curiosity.

I'm sure that it will make you feel better that before I did that I also mistakenly burned one on a first-lifer mule before remembering it would just show 'max-xp' after use, lol. 

After that, I logged onto the 6th life dummy and burned one and posted. Consider it a PSA to people getting ready to use some this weekend, I don't even need any more Heroic, racial lives.

I believe it was posted in the launcher and their social media accounts, but not in the DDO Forums.
