Research

• The Expected Value, in experience, for turning in 100 Ancient Falatacot Trinkets to a High-Stakes Gamesmaster is exactly 2 levels. Three players of levels 110, 145, and 159 each gained 1.8 levels, 2.5 levels, and 2.1 levels respectively after turning in 100 Ancient Falatacot Trinkets. The proportions seem to be the same for the Ancient Empyrean Trinket.
• Test run of 16 Oct 2012. 100 Ancient Falatacot Trinkets given to a High-Stakes Gamemaster, by a level 223, wearing 6% xp trinket. 69,226,502,686 xp at start. Level 224, with 70,337,912,550 xp at end, for a gain of 1,111,409,864 xp. This confirms there is a cap, as he received significantly less than even one full level of xp.
• Test Run on 15 Dec 2012. 274 Ancient Falatacot Trinkets given to a High-Stakes Gamemaster. Results were logged and analyzed to determine the exact reward percentages.

  Possible rewards are 690,000, 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 10% and 100% of the next level, up to level 140.

• Test Run on 22 Dec 2012. 101 Ancient Falatacot Trinkets given to a High-Stakes Gamemaster. Results confirmed the percentage based amounts were consistant from level 125 to level 129, except for the lowest amount which appears to remain static.

  This is not enough to get an accurate percentage of each reward, but it is a good start to infer some numbers.

  100% XP 4/375 ~ 1%

  10% XP 38/375 ~ 10%

  5% XP 25/375 ~ 10%

  3% XP 34/375 ~ 10%

  2% XP 87/375 ~ 20%

  1% XP 73/375 ~ 20%

  Static 690,000 XP 114/375 ~30%

• Side Note, a few Empyrean trinkets turned in at the same time gave significantly different results but were too few to draw any conclusions.
