Newbie Guide reward

[Ivory]

Hello! Tried completing quest "Head for the Hills!" from Marcela (6+) where you kill 1 monster to get a claw and get SS, you all know it well.
Newbie Guide should give you extra exp after the quest finishing.
As it was found out during so long existence of Lineage II: the higher your level is and the closer it is to level 10, the less extra exp is given.
According to mentioned above, I've blocked exp gaining until I reach to Newbie Guide: I should get level 10 instantly. But as you can see on the screen in system chat, opened NPC dialogue and character bar, this was not planned to happen.
Also I tried this without block exp and passed the quest at level 7 - had same experience.

P.S. You might say I don't need such quests on 10x server, but vitality system seems to come from Gracia Final, and those 2 levels 8-10 mean much
P.P.S. This nickname doesn't intend to offend anyone or brake the server rules, it's just a kind tradition of ours!

P.P.P.S. I shitted my pants: vitality starts ticking from level 10...
