PTR Notes: How much extra quest XP?

One of the features of patch 2.3 that I'm very much anticipating is the hastened leveling curve for characters between level 20 and 60. In addition to the XP required per level being reduced by 20%, loot from leveling dungeons improving, and "many" outdoor elites being made non-elite (not including Hogger, thankfully), the patch notes list that "the amount of experience granted by quests has been increased between levels 30 and 60". Which is nice, but the math lover in me wants (nay, demands) to know precisely how much the increase is.Fortunately, Tekkub is on it. He's compiling a spreadsheet with quest XP changes over at Google Docs, and he needs your help to collect more data. If you want to help, you'll need a character on the PTR in the affected level range (30–60), and you'll need to go do some quests and note down how much XP you get from them. Then just email Tekkub (his email address is on the spreadsheet) with your data, and the collective information base of the WoW population will be increased! Ah, science. Personally I'm not seeing much of a pattern on the spreadsheet yet, but I'm sure there is one, and we will figure it eventually.

I love you guys!
Come on everyone, give me your new quest EXP numbers. Send quest title and the amount of EXP you got on the PTR. Make sure the quest is at least green when you turn it in, grey quests give reduced amounts.

We're having a full-fledged math debate over your EXP/Lvl column, Tekkub! Come in here and explain it to us! ;p

EXP/Lvl is the increase in effective exp needed to level.
Example: Quest X used to give exp equivalent to 10% of the exp you need to level up. If the EXP/Lvl column says 73.52%, it means after the quest exp bonus and total exp per level reduction, that same quest will give 17.52% of the exp needed to level.

Aparently the best leveling time recorded (1-60, not 1-70, or at least, that I know of) is 4 days /played and several hours made from Jonas :-/. He even made a leveling guide off of it...This is pre-TBC (obviously).

You may want to add "solo leveling record". I wasn't even trying and I got a priest to 60 (on 2.2) in 3 days 14 hours power-leveling her.

@8: Good work! And I'm glad to see that I'm not the only priest still wearing the Chapeau at the old level cap. :)
