lvling wep/hit area

[Mandown]

Curious about lving wep and if you kill with the hit area affect will that count towards your kill or is it considered a spell which doesn't allow for experience gain? Also if it is considered a spell will it work once you get to 50 since pets can attribute. Thanks.

I can't swear to it but I think area effects count.

Well it would be awesome if it is.... i will have to pay more attention to it when i do get a chance to lvl a good wep that has hit area.

I'm almost positive that all area effects count as spells and thus the wep doesn't receive XP.

Just tested it using my Blaze of Death on a Rotting Corpse with skeletons surrounding me. Hit Area effects definitely give you experience, as well as any of the Hit Spells on weapons.

Thank you as this is useful. I will keep that in mind for my wep.
