Elder Knowledge
Elder Knowledge increases experience earned from killing enemies. It is a progression-oriented Trait, distinct from Traits that directly change combat, healing, or resource pickups.
How it works
The Traits source lists Elder Knowledge as increasing Experience earned from killing enemies by 1% per Trait Point invested, up to a 20% bonus at Level 20. The source does not describe experience from other activities or quantify how this affects overall progression time.
When it helps
Consider Elder Knowledge if increasing experience earned from enemy kills is your priority. If you are focusing on a direct combat or survivability effect, compare the relevant Trait description instead.
The tradeoff
The documented effect applies to experience earned from killing enemies; the source does not claim it improves other rewards.
Your next step
Decide whether enemy-kill experience is the progression effect you want, then compare it with your combat or survivability priorities.
