I found an error - Now what?
Sat May 15, 2021 8:48 pm
I've discovered an error in the XP table on the following page:
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Leveling
The values in the "Experience required for next level" column have been swapped around for levels 29 and 30 - that is, for Level 29 it should read "60 171," and for Level 30 it should read "59 625." I know this seems backward, but I currently have characters at levels 29 and 30 so I'm able to see what ESO says, as shown in the following screenshots:

By the way, notice that the "XP required" for levels 39 and 40 also look as though they might be swapped around-- that is, the value for Level 39 is larger than the value for Level 40-- which I assume is correct. I mention this because it demonstrates that the values in the "XP required" column are not strictly increasing as one might "logically" expect them to.
Note that the values in the "Total experience for level" column for levels 30 and 31 would be incorrect with the values shown, but are in fact correct if the values are swapped around as they should be:
519 819 + 60 171 = 579 990 (Total experience for level 29 + correct Experience required for next level = Total experience for level 30)
579 990 + 59 625 = 639 615 (Total experience for level 30 + correct Experience required for next level = Total experience for level 31)
It turns out that the values used to be listed in the correct order, but were mistakenly swapped around on September 18, 2017:

Oddly enough, the comment says "Level 29 and 30 had the total XP number values reversed," but the total XP number values were actually correct (and still are)-- it was the "XP required" number values which were mistakenly swapped around; the "total XP" number values were left untouched.
I would edit the page myself to correct it, but I'm not sure how to do it "properly" as far as adding to the "discussion" page first and then making the correction after it's been approved.

You should be bold and implement the correction.

Okay, I followed your advice and made the edit. The first time is always the hardest. I shall try not to go overboard with my newfound power.
