Its called Patrol XP. As long as you have any blue bar left you will earn double xp until your blue bar is all gone. You can have a full 10 bulbs of Patrol XP, you earn a bulb of Patrol xp every 24 hours you are logged out of the game.

Quote:
| Credit toward Patrol XP is displayed in the Status Window as a light blue extension off the end of the experience bar. For every 24 hours a character spends logged out, they accumulate 1 bar of Patrol XP, with a maximum of 10 bars |
Quote:
| Patrol XP is a bonus 50% experience for any critter defeats. While credit remains, any XP earned by a character due to defeating critters is multiplied by 150%, the extra 50% of which is deducted from Patrol XP accumulation. When all Patrol XP has been worked off, the character's rate of earning XP will return to normal. Patrol XP is not applied to the bonus XP gained from other sources such as mission completion, Story Arc/Task Force completion or Exploration Badges. |
Also any XP debt received for being defeated is first taken from any patrol XP you may have accumulated.

Technically, it is immediately paid out of Patrol XP. This means it will still count towards the debt badges, even though you're never actually in XP debt.

Not to be nit-picky, but I don't think it's double, I'm pretty sure it's x1.5. But, still the main point stands, it's bonus XP that you don't get in a lump, but gets doled out as you earn other XP via normal methods.

You also don't benefit from (or use it up) from defeats within Mission Architect missions.

This is the right multiplier. See the Paragonwiki article.

In addition to AE defeats, the following ignore Patrol XP bonuses:
-Mission Complete bonuses
-Story Arc Complete bonuses
-XP from finding Exploration Badges
-Any source of XP anywhere in the game that doesn't come from smacking a "real world" bad guy in the face.

I personally find this the bigger advantage of Patrol XP. As long as I still have Patrol XP left, I know that I will not slow down the rate at which I am levelling, merely end the session a little sooner.

Yeah, I know. That's what I get for going back and forth over the line I wrote up there several times while still on my first coffee of the day. Made it unclear. :P
