None whatsoever. This also applies to the upcoming Double XP Weekend, by the way. Incarnate XP will not be doubled.

Good to know. Thank you. I can now sleep more soundly before using all my XP boosters on a different character.

Additional questions.
1) Do XP boosters work during AE missions? I think they do, but want confirmation.
2) Does the Double XP weekend affect the XP earned in AE missions? I seem to recall that it does NOT, but again want confirmation.
3) If I am wrong, and you can get double XP in AE missions, will the XP booster power stack?
ALSO:
4) For normal missions, trials, street sweep, etc., will the XP booster power stack with the Double XP weekend bonus XP? ie: 100% + 100% = 200 * 1.25 = 250% total XP from defeats?
5) It appears from the WIKI that the end of mission / end of Arc / and Trial bonus awards are also doubled. Are these bonuses also affected by XP boosters?
6) Most Particulary, would an active XP booster power affect the big extra bonus granted by completing a Weekly Strike Target, and will that enlarged bonus also be doubled by the Double XP event?
7) Finally, Is it correct to say that XP boosters work only when your Character is alive.
The Paragon WIKI seems silent on these specific questions.

to add to what chad said:
1. yes it will work in AE (i was using them in AE over the last week to help get my dark dark dom to 50)
7. yes xp boosters do work even when defeated (i monitored numbers when i died)

Weird, I thought the Patrol XP power worked and the +25% one didn't? I'm not sure why I'd think it this way, but maybe I'm getting my thread info screwed up again.

To elaborate further on this, you will not completely waste uses of the Experienced power (or whatever it's called) this weekend, but you will waste its potential because while Patrol XP is not consumed during 2xXP weekends, it also doesn't "grow". |

This means if you use a charge of the Experienced power to give yourself half a level of Patrol XP at level 15 tomorrow afternoon and play that character all weekend, by the time they shut off 2xXP, that half a level might be down to half a bar, or less, even if you're never defeated.

actually Double XP itself will cancel out any debt incurred - because Double XP acts like a permanent half-bar of patrol XP for the duration of the weekend, debt will simply be absorbed into that bar and forgotten

This is how I understood it. Simply put, since you're making 2x XP and debt gets burnt first, then you're burning debt 2x faster. Since they've seriously reduced debt intake numbers anyway (since many of us started playing), then it's almost like you never got debt in the first place.|

So basically everybody's saying don't bother using either power until after 2x XP's over and you've already used up that offline Patrol XP.

The XP boosters purchaseable from the Paragon Market are still usable over the weekend - bear in mind that they will add on to your total xp, rather than being doubled themselves - refer to the following formula:|

100% normal XP
+ 100% Double XP Bonus
+ 25% XP Booster
===================
= 225% of normal XP with a booster during the weekend

This is incorrect. Patrol XP is 1.5x, not 2x.There is no visual marker for Double XP Weekend.
