Starving Bonepaw is giving x5 more XP than they should

[Simp-N]

Describe the bug The Starving Bonepaw in Desolace wander in packs of 5. Despite wandering in packs they're still very easy to defeat since their HP and damage is but a fraction - about a third - of what other mobs at the same level have. The XP they give should also be a lot less than what they're currently giving on Everlook.

When I killed them mostly recently, on a lvl 37 character, I got 115 xp from a lvl 31, and 134 xp from a lvl 32. This is what a normal mob at that level should give to my lvl 37. Since they're so easy to kill it's very easy xp, especially if you have some form of AoE.

To Reproduce Simply go to Desolace on a character that'll get XP from ~31 mobs and kill them.

Expected behavior In this video, which is from Classic, you'll see a lvl 32 priest killing the hyenas, and getting 34 xp from lvl 30, and 38 xp from a lvl 31. Now, if we compare this XPs to what mobs at these lvls would normally give a lvl 32 player, which is 171 and 188 respectively, it appears to be very close to 1/5. Basically, 171 / 5 = 34.2, and 188 / 5 = 37,6, and then rounded.

I don't know if this fix is as simple as changing the Starving Bonepaw's xp_multiplier in the database from 1 to 0.2, but I suspect it might be.

I tried finding something about them from actual vanilla but got virtually nothing.

Thanks for reading.

EDIT I'd like to add that Bonepaw Hyena and Rapid Bonepaw, who also wander in packs of 5 and have very low health and damage, also give full XP. I've not found an example from Classic to see how much XP they give there.

Hey Simp-N,

This is intentional, on LH core these dog packs gave the same amount of exp as on Everlook, on Cassic their xp was lowered.
