interesting. +25% xp isn't

[cohRock]

I went into a level 19 (+0*2) Baby New Year mission as a corrupter.  After downing two groups of Tuattha warriors, I realized that I didn't have any accelerated xp.  So I left mission to see p2w vendor in Pocket D and got some +25%xp.  I re-entered same mission and started fighting more Tuatha warriors.  All have been even level minions.  Here is what I observed:

 

before additional xp:  85 xp, 39 influence per foe

after +25% xp:  99 xp, 30 influence per foe

 

I did the math (well, my calculator did) and (99 - 85) / 85 is only 16.5% more xp.  There was a 25% reduction in influence, though.  Is this a bug, or is there some factor I am not considering?

I just realized that he may have entered mission with the extra xp from a recent day job.  That would have inflated the 85 number, and if the +25% purchased xp is based on base values, then an increase in 14 xp may well have been correct.  I'm not positive on this, because any day job xp is expired now.

It actually turns inf into xp so the actual math would be a reduction in the inf by the amount you bought.  Since not all enemies give equal xp and inf the whole 2xp thing is kinda a misnomer.
