Disabling Combat XPFollow

I thought I'd post this for those that don't know and might want to.

Combat XP can be disabled by right clicking on the xp bar and selecting (drum roll please)disable combat xp.

Note: This does not disable quest xp, only xp gained from killing things.

Reasons you might want to disable xp:

1) Quests that you can no longer access if you level to high, example: Betrayal Quest

2) You want to be able to get chests from mobs before they turn grey and no longer drop them, example: The Sand Shard quest on IoR.

3) You want to let some friends catch up to you, but you still want to kill things for loot and titles.

4) You're masecistic(I do not know how to spell) and want to level only through quests. (Admirable, but insane)

Reasons submited by others:

5) You want to max weapon skills. (courtesy of Prometeus Vaer)

6) Farming for tradeskills and wholesaler quests where you don't want your adventuring level to go higher than your artisan level. (courtesy of Baron von Devilwind)

Anyhow if anyone has any other reasons feel free (as if I could stop you) to post.

Thanks to those who added some reasons. I should further note that you cannot disable Artisan xp.

Didn't know about that, thanks for posting =)

You want to max weapon skills.

I'm going to bump this thread every now and than when I edit the info in the first post so the newest info is available to those that wish to read it.

Bump

And Tocopheryl, I don't think you'd want to stay at the same level if she keeps killing you. Unless you got a good reason for that.

Main reason why is so all xp goes towards your dept. k thx

I disabled my combat exp on the Isle to farm all the doe hides and silk boots i could carry =) After i got 5 stacks of hides and about 20 silk boots (kept one sold the rest for a silver a pair) i turned combat exp back on finished the isle and had a very nice crafting and silver nest egg in freeport when i got there.

The debt question is really valid though only if your not planing to log for the night after a couple of group party wipes. Cause debt goes down while your loged anyway. You might as well call it a night if your having a bad one 'cause in my experience once it starts going bad it only gets worse.

Very interesting option, I did not know of it.

Theres no way to do the opposite if you are falling too far behind your friends is there?(I know I know, but it doesn't hurt to ask)
