Noob question: When to stop using 2x XP buff?

[out51d3r]

I've read that sometime after level 40, the amount of inf you get from missions starts going up pretty dramatically.  When does that occur, and is it worth giving up the 2x XP for?

I just hit 40 with the buff on, using it pretty much the entire way.  Because it disables inf gain, I've been specifically running story arcs that give reward merits, then flipping those for inf. That's been fairly profitable, and I'm buying set enhancements with it as I go.

Basically, I'm wondering if the inf increase will be enough to justify not using the XP buff.

Never use the stuff, myself, so you could stop whenever you want.

How do you like to play? 

 

I try and avoid using them unless I want to get to a specific goal. With my regular teams I tend not to use them at all, so that we can explore and enjoy the content as intended. However if I want to get to mid-levels quickly, I will use them and sometimes even camp in an AE farm. That's usually with an AT and/or power set I'm familiar with. 

 

Ultimately, you're the best judge of when to use them. You can stop, delete them at any time (you don't even need to claim them) and see how that works for you. What are your goals? When do you want to experience the most content? How familiar are you with the AT in question? 

 

Those are, I'd suggest, relevant questions and if you have the answers to them you'll know what you want from the DXP boosters!

Choices = Consequences

As long as you are aware - Use it as little or as much as you like.

 

Me:

I do use it while trying to level. I don't use it when just playing. (we level too fast and can miss out on content)

Example:

I might grab a couple double experiences and run an initial story arc as well as a couple Death from Below (DFBs).

A little jump start for a new character as I have created 100s of other characters. 

For a new player - They may miss a lot of education about the game as well as most of the game content.

 

 

Did you know you can start a new character at level 50 and skip the whole game content and leveling up experience?

I have never done this because I thought it was PVP only. Am I misunderstanding this?

Thanks guys.  I'm planning to keep it on til 50, just didn't want to miss out on alot of inf.  Though, tbh, I'm doing fine by converting merits to inf.  Already got both ATO sets, a smattering of end recovery stuff, 4 def abilities slotted with 1 lotg/5 red fortune, etc.  It's looking like I might actually be able to afford to get to softcap def and perma hasten a bit before 50.
