Sanctum relic "The First Crest" Coin->XP conversion is always active

Hi so I've been tracking Lycia xp from sanctum and I noticed that her xp is variable even when you're not using the first crest (with xp conversion).


Some base constant variables to get out of the way.
Zone level = 83 for all tests.
Player level = 99 for all tests.

So I first started out by testing xp with the first crest.
I did two tests.
Trial 1: 4914 coins gave 4,889,628 total xp from killing Lycia.
Trial 2: 25672 coins gave 7,989,997 total xp from killing Lycia.

Now to ground these numbers, I did some runs without the first crest.
Trial 1: 3153 coins at the time of Lycia kill, 3,959,805 xp from killing Lycia.
Trial 2: 12303 coins at the time of Lycia kill, 7,989,037 xp from killing Lycia.
Trial 3: 65535 coins at the time of Lycia kill, 7,989,037 xp from killing Lycia.

(It's worth noting that trial 3 I had more than 65535 coins but they are stored/displayed as a 16 bit integer which is a second bug but that is not a huge bug so I don't think it's that important right now)

So this lead me to the conclusion that the First Crest is bugged in the case that it is always active on every run that you do regardless of if you used the first crest.
This conclusion is due to the fact that a First Crest run with 26k coins gave the exact same amount of xp as a non-First Crest run with 12k or 65k coins.

Thank you for your time. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The modifier has a cap of approximately 10,000 Aureus, equal to approximately 20 additional relics (1 per 500 Aureus) or 300,000,000 experience (30,000 raw exp per Aureus) before level penalties (approximately 750 exp per Aureus at Character Level 99 in a level 83 zone)

Please close the thread as this is not a bug, but rather undocumented limitations.

Ok, I got what you mean. You still get bonus XP even without The First Crest applied to the sanctum. My bad.

Exactly

That explains how i got less exp on 3k coins to exp run compared to my 8k coins to relics run i did later and compared experience.

It also means it is active even when other first crests relics are in the run, weird
