Clarification on Experience Rewards
===============================
The mod "Always Full Exp" only alters the modifier for exp rewards, not individual exp rewards.
If you do not get any exp, then there is no exp-reward defined for the completed quest stage. Witcher 3 contains quests, where you only get exp on earlier quest stages and no exp reward on the final completion of the quest.
Also keep in mind, that exp rewards for minor quests are rather small. Discoverable short quests on the map often only give 10, 25 or 50 exp.
Here the decison tree for all factors that influence quest experience rewards:
1) Do you use "Always Full Exp"?
- Congratulation, you get 100% exp.
- (proceed with next question)
2) Is your current quest from Heart of Stone or Blood and Wine DLC Expansion?
- For each level difference you get -/+16% exp (min 5% exp, max 150% exp)
- (proceed with next question)
3) Have you completed the main story of Witcher 3?
- you get 50% exp
- (proceed with next question)
4) Is your current quest a grey quest? (level difference of 6 or higher)
- you get 5% exp
- (proceed with next question)
5) On what difficulty setting are you playing?
- you get 100% exp
- you get 100% exp
- you get 90% exp
- you get 80% exp
Example: Level 25 Non-DLC-Quest that gives 500 exp
- If you do this quest with level 30 on Normal, you get 500 exp (100%)
- If you do this quest with level 30 on Deathmarch, you get 400 exp (80%)
- If you do this quest with level 31 on Normal, you get 25 exp (5%)
- If you do this quest with level 31 on Death
