Not getting experience credit

[drogo_vaastag]

Sorry if this is a repeat.

My character stopped gaining experience. I am a level 30 dwarf guardian. My experience point total has stalled at 395,744 for the last two days no matter what i try to kill. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance for any input.

Are you killing "grey" mobs? Those are so far below your level that you don't get xp for them. Other than that, have no idea what your issue may be. Do you still get XP for on level mobs and quests?

I'm killing level 20 barrow wardens and barghests right now. I'm a F2P level 30. Is a 10 point level difference too much for me to get XP from them? I will add that they don't autoattack me at that level. I have to attack them. I'm just killing these to finish a few deeds for turbine points.

Yes, it is too much difference. Grey mobs don't give you any experience at all, but still do count for slayer deeds etc...

Thanks for the info. So how much of a level difference before you stop getting XP?

As it has been pointed out, mobs typically have a color to their name relative to your level against theirs.

Mobs on-level (same level as you) will have their name be white.
Mobs higher than you will be anywhere from yellow to red.
And mobs lower than you will go down the blue spectrum.
Grey mobs are mobs too low of a level to you, and as you've already noticed, they don't bother attacking you first anymore.

Think info here is right, quoting from:

Additionally, difficulty levels are shown by colors. These specific colors indicate their difficulty relative to your own level. From easiest to hardest:

• Grey - 9 or more levels below - yields no XP / Was attacked by another person.
• Green - 6-8 levels below
• Turquoise - 3-5 levels below
• Blue - 1-2 levels below
• White - (creature has the same level as yourself)
• Yellow - 1-2 levels above
• Orange - 3-4 levels above
• Red - 5-7 levels above
• Purple - 8 levels above (creature is far greater than yourself)
