At level 1 and level 50, 0.

For all other levels, you could test empyrically; there are far more than 50 exploration badges, so it would be easy enough to step on one at each level up and check. Alternatively, you could log in a mix of various-level characters and pick up an explore on each and see if you can graph them into a straight line or smooth curve.

It's possible that they simply give XP equal to an even con minion, but I don't think that's the case. IIRC, it's 10 for a badge, 14 for an even con Hellion minion at level 2, and at level 49, I think badges give far less than minions.

Just add "rewards" to a chat tab.

Some quick testing.
Level 3 - 5 xp
Level 6 - 25 xp
Level 7 - 25 xp
Level 8 - 50 xp
Level 10 - 50 xp
Level 13 - 75 xp
Level 14 - 100 xp
Level 15 - 100 xp
Level 17 - 125 xp
Level 20 - 175 xp
Level 25 - 300 xp
Level 33 - 500 xp
Level 34 - 525 xp
Level 39 - 650 xp
Hmmm, at least between levels 20 and 39, it's an additional 25 xp/level. There's probably a good chance that continues on up, though some verification would be good.

I think it is 850 influence at level 50.

It's actually 500 (just tested on a 50).

Congratulations! You earned the Veni, Vidi, Vici badge.
You gain 500 influence.
Which is interesting, given StarGeek's numbers...

One thing I did notice is that those xp rewards were not affected by patrol xp, day jobs, or SGmode (no prestige rewarded). The only thing that did affect the reward was if NoXP was on or not.

On a level 46, I got 850 xp with a hero/vigilante getting a series of explore badges.
On a level 47, I got 900 xp with a vigilante getting Grandville explore badges.

I've noticed some oddities with the explore badges xp/inf. Sometimes villains get less than heroes for the same level. At least that is what I found in the past.

Also, did you check that with the "no XP, 2x Inf" option on the 50?

No. The standard setting is what I tested. I guess it would have been double using the setting you are asking about.

At 50, EVERYONE is "Double Inf, no XP", regardless of what their options are actually set to, unless something changed since the last time I checked.

Well my setting SAYS "Earn XP" and "Double Inf, no XP" is a separate choice.

It isn't. Test it yourself.

I don't mean that the options go away, I mean that at 50, your setting is ignored and you automatically get double Inf, since you can't gain XP at 50.

Unfortunately, the window doesn't show the point at which the settings are changed. In the first image, I'm a level 50 fighting level 50 Rikti minions. In the second, I'm the same character exemplared to 9, fighting level 9 Hellion minions. In both cases, I'm fighting with my options set to "Earn XP" until there's only one foe left, and then switching to "Double Inf, no XP". Note that in both cases, the amount doesn't change.

And I'm telling you that isn't always the case.

As demonstrated by my testing, a level 50 gets the same Inf regardless of the setting when at their natural combat level, and when exemplared. Care to elaborate as to when that setting actually makes a difference for a level 50?

Unfortunately, I can't find anything more specific than "a mid-issue patch in i16", but there was a bug fixed around that time that was, prior to the fix, causing all XP earned by 50's to just vanish. After the bugfix (with redname confirmation around that time), all XP earned by level 50 characters is supposed to be converted to Inf at a 1:1 ratio and added to the regular XP rewards (Which is what the "Double Inf, no XP" setting actually does; it's not actually a direct doubling). If you're seeing an instance where level 50 characters are NOT getting this XP -> Inf conversion, that's a bug, not WAI.
