Details

Per https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Aht_Urhgan_Mission_42:_Path_of_Darkness?oldid=638945 (August 2008 retail wiki entry for this mission), no experience should be lost on death in this mission, but it appears that is not the case on Eden. (Game version is 30181205_0.)

Find this claim hard to believe since it's not a true bcnm and thus doesn't follow rules the same as a bcnm. Bg says no refrence to this. I'd need to see evidence of the case being the 1st instanced zone with the claims I've heard as of yet to even make an option toggleable

Wiki is a good start but is never the definite answer we find it wrong consistently.

That's very possible, but the classic wiki should also be updated if that's the case, as it also states there's no experience loss ("so it's okay to home point warp"). I'd guess that it was just pulled from a retail wiki snapshot from 2007 (or 2008), but it also has reference to an Eden bug concerning when the Nyzul route key item can be collected. (That bug was corrected in a November update.) That seemingly lent some credence to there not being experience loss. Your point about it being instanced content, distinct from other missions involving fights that give battlefield status, makes sense that it would cause exp loss. That is definitely the case for AU31 (Shades of Vengeance, the Periqia assault-style mission where you have to kill 3-4 Lamia).
