I was at the ojaveda gold mine luring about some ulbernauts- i went back to oja, and just when i was entering the canyon, i got 750 experience and 4 pp's. I thought that was wierd, but i thought maybe the ulb walked off the cliff and i got the xp from its kill or somethin... BUT later (5 min) i was selling my gold at trasok's and all of a sudden i gained 8000 experience (40PP's) i was shocked- and submitted a petition which was promptly answered, but i am wondering if anyone here can give me an explanation or a way to keep it from happening. Thx

This sounds like lag - if you were fighting Ulbers previously, the server might have only caught up to your actions long minutes later.
-
It is not lag. For some reason, when an NPC that gets stuck (or fell down a hill) disappears, the player targeting it last gets rewarded, even if that player was no longer attacking that NPC. I am sure there is a bug report about it in the bug tracker :)
-
i have never killed an ulbernaut before- but do they give 8000 experience? i find that hard to believe...
-
The strong ones seem to give that much. The less strong ones (which I can just kill) give 4000 exp I think. Much, much , much weaker trepors sometimes give 2200. Just to give an idea.
-
that still does not make sense to me- assuming (in my case) ulbernauts give 40 PP's/kill would only explain one of the two experience gains. Remeber i said i got about 700 experience soon after leaving the ulbernaut field, but then latel i got the 40 PP's. I am POSITIVE that there was only ONE ulbernaut following me, so only instance of point gain should have occurred. Tefusang? No they are not viable in this instance, for once again, i am POSITIVE that no tefusangs followed me from the gold mine down over the cliff. What could explain BOTH experience gains?
-
The short answer: "It's a bug". THe longer answer is not known yet :). Strange things happen when you attack an NPC and then leave. THe 750 might be from a tefusang you met an hour ago, but which was now killed by someone else. Who knows :)
-
The Ulber fell off the cliff, the fall partially broken from landing on a tefusang, killing the tefu on the spot... 700xp. The Ulber later died of internal bleeding and blood poisoning... 8000xp.

lol @ Unnamed Source's explanation
Xoleron, if you were headed toward Oja, you probably also stepped through the Bandit's zone (and he probably started following you) ... he's worth 4 PP
As to why you got the PP? -shrug-
