Weekend Crafting XP Event Bug?

NOT A BUG. This was my mistake. Sorry.

Sorry, these screenshots turn out huge posted here.

I think the weekend crafting XP event might have a bug:

I tried Orc Phrenology research (normally 50XP) with (I think) no +XP effects active, and got 60XP.

Then I placed a Large Gold Dragon statue.

Then I tried the same phrenology recipe again and got less XP than I did before appreciating the dragon.

Screenshot with +8% XP buff visible and getting less XP than before:

Except, the math doesn't work for the numbers I'm seeing. I could have had a different XP bonus active? (60 is +20% from 50)

It's hard to tell when buffs last two hours. I'll keep testing.

Under Persona, if you click the arrows you will get to a page that shows you your combat/craft XP buffs. Maybe that can give you a more clear indicator.

Yeah, I need to let buffs run completely out and do a better test. I'm not sure what happened in this sequence. (I think me being confused is more likely than a bug.)

Did more testing. XP shown in buffs shows up correctly in the persona screen and in actual XP earned.

Maybe I accidentally overwrote a higher xp buff by using the lower one? Either way, my mistake, sorry!
