I got a blue drop while testing one of my published missions. And I get an XP grant at the end of the mission that seems based on how long the mission took.

Anyone else getting greens, blues, and some nice XP while playing Foundry?

I wonder how it works. Probably captain 03 mobs are the best givers? Or maybe it's based on the length of the mission or some other factor.

The xp seems new to me. I know that we always got some for killing a mob, but this seems to happen at the completion of the mission.

Yeah, it's not a lot, but you get it. I DID notice getting a semi-random blue drop while testing earlier.

Do you get the drop and the exp at the end, or just the exp at the end?

I cant comment on the XP but the drops were added to captain, battleships and dreadnoughts a patch or two back. this is game wide including the foundry.

That's cool. I guess there's a reason to use captain mobs and battleships then.

I get the XP when the mission complete sound happens. I was testing it on a clicker style setup. If I just ran to the console to click the mission it gave me 2 XP. If I ran around exploring the planet for a minute or so, then it gave me 11 XP.

That's good. That means people can actually level up using the Foundry outside of using the daily. A blue drop is not too bad either. As long as you include a couple Captain mobs or battleships in your mission then people will get some decent gear, at least good enough for leveling up.

Plus it seems to reward you proportionate to the time you spend in the Foundry. Someone go play an Old Lord Skull mission so we can see if there's an upper limit, lol.

Lord Skull? I'm not familiar with that.... I've noted that my Treasure Hunt mission takes a long time... it's also painful...
