Bravery Bonus

Bravery and Streak bonus overview
Bravery bonus and Streak bonus are new kind of experience point bonus added to the game as of Update 11, in order to encourge more players to run variety of quests on harder difficulty.

These bonuses only apply for the first completion of a quest, on top of first time completion bonus. Running the same quest additional times will not give these bonus nor affect the bravery streak. After the first run, you may run the quest on any difficulty and it will not break your bravery streak.

Players often abbreviate these together as BB or Streak on LFM panels. For example, "elite for BB" or "for elite Streak" and such.

Prerequisites
In order for the bravery bonus to apply, all of the following conditions must be met:
 * It must be the first completion of the quest for that character. True Reincarnation resets your completion status of all quests.
 * You must run the quest on Hard or higher difficulty.
 * The highest character level in the party cannot be greater than 2 levels above the base level of the quest.

XP calculation

 * Bravery bonus - This bonus is a flat +10% on Hard and +20% on Elite
 * Streak bonus - This bonus is 5% on Hard and 10% on Elite
 * Streak bonus stacks with itself up to 5 times, to a maximum of +25% for Hard, and +50% for Elite.

The bravery and streak bonuses stack with each other, but also stack with the standard "first time" bonus. Together, these bonuses can provide up to 75% on Hard and 150% on Elite when the maximum streak is obtained.


 * Hard (75%) = First time bonus (40%) + Bravery (10%) + Streak (25%)
 * Elite (150%) = First time bonus (80%) + Bravery (20%) + Streak (50%)

When determining which streak bonus (Hard or Elite) will be applied, the higher of the two streak bonuses (Elite) takes precedence regardless.

For example:
 * You are running a lvl 10 quest on Elite
 * Your character is lvl 12
 * This is your first time running the quest
 * Your current Hard streak is 5 (25%)
 * Your current Elite streak is 1 (10%)

&rarr; Your final XP calculation will be: First time bonus on Elite (80%) + Bravery (20%) + Streak (25%)

Breaking Streaks
All streaks are broken when the following are true:
 * You are running a quest for the first time
 * The quest difficulty is Normal or lower (Breaks hard and elite streak) or Hard (Breaks elite streak)

Note:
 * Your streak will NOT be broken if you personally would qualify for bravery, but someone else in the party is over level which prevents you from qualifying. Thus you can do at-level quest on normal or hard the first time without breaking it, simply by inviting a over-level character.

For example: The Shroud (CR17) on normal at level17, with a level20 in the group will not break your streak.
