dopple after nahpui - bug or normal?

I have a Tyrian born W/mo that has already done Nahpui before attempting my doppleganger. Did my dopple tonight and it was wielding a hornbow and when it died I got only 1000 exp. (at least that's all that showed on the screen - perhaps the bonus idk) Is this because I was already considered to be ascended by having completed the factions version of that? Or is it bugged somehow.

Not a bug - it is the case with all missions in Tyria if you have a Canthan character.

Yes your dopple does wield a bow, and then switches weapons when you get close enough.

as I said it is a Tyrian character. And he never switched weapons as he dropped the bow when he died.

Not every enemy drops what their wielding.

Let's see.
1) Your character is Tyrian born, as you stated twice.
2) You did the Canthan equivalant to ascension (Closer to the Stars).
3) When you went to Augury Rock to fight your mirror self you only got 1000 experience.

IMHO, it's not a bug. You only got 1000 experience because your character is already ascended.

Not a bug, you didn't mention whethere you beat him in under 50 seconds. That is the only way to get the 50000.

However, this is the second time now I read something like this lately (not getting the full reward for beating the doppelganger), so I think it is possible something was changed there with one of the recent updates (my screenshot was taken before that). Whether that would be an intended change or a bug, I don't know.

Yeah I realized last night after I wrote that I had it backwards. That's what I get for being up too late and sleepy when I post.

Well, I know that originally they said you would have to be ascended just to get your Tyrian Char to Cantha but they changed that. So I didn't think there would be a penalty (ie no 50K exp) for doing certain parts of the Factions campaign first.

Is it confirmed that if a Tyrian does Nahpui only (and not the dopple) that will let you into god realms? Seems like Ascension should really only be for a character's homeland.

Thanks for the screenshot. That's definitely not what mine looked like. I only got the single 1000 exp. No 100 for killing, no 2nd 1000 even though it went down in about 15 secs and no 50k. Maybe this has something to do with some of the reward graphics being glitched since the update. Unfortunately I didn't check my exp amount prior to doing it. I've got about 1.145 million so it's possible I got the exp but it just didn't show. There was no 'gained a skill point' message either.

Don't take his screenshot for proof just yet. You said you were a tyrian born. He is obviously canthan born. There may be a difference there in the way it acts.

Perhaps the 100 was there and I just didn't register it since I was expecting big numbers and the skill point effect. Anyway life goes on. Right now I'm more annoyed at having to redo missions in the desert to do skill caps that aren't available outside the mission.

Did you, by chance, have a battle that ended in a draw earlier? From time to time I've had the dop die just after I did. Got the 50K but failed the mission and had to try again.
