I have just completed the challenge and so was expecting 2000xp “total Reward”
Obviously they are all new routes so I have got 5 route complete double xp each time. (the mileage of all of the routes in total is more than the 34 or so I would need to generate 1000xp)
I was only awarded 1000xp for completing the challenge.
Am I missing something?
You got an extra 250 XP along the way each time you completed one of the first four stages (in addition to the route completion double XP for each).
Thank you Wade. That would explain it. Strange that I never saw that on my screen when I completed each route, just the usual route complete, and expected extra XP, however, my eyesight isn’t great!
Thank you.
Yeah I didn’t see a +250 on screen as a separate item either (just the +NNN for the route completion bonus, along with the banners down below for the challenge and the route) BUT on the first one I completed, I just happened to notice that XP needed for next level dropped by (route KM * 20 * 2)+250 so it seems to be working as advertised. Maybe someone else who is still in the middle of the challenge can check their balance before and after a route to confirm.
I must say it’s a little disappointing that all you get is bonus XP, and even then, that award is practically invisible. Maybe rendering a new jersey or some socks takes a lot of work, but at least give us a badge. Toss us a bone! I even rode Croissant a second time because I hadn’t ridden it from within the challenge and didn’t realize that you had to. Putting this out there in case someone else is going out of their way to ride some of these again just to complete the route chaser. You don’t get anything except XP.
