windfalls do +10% drop rate, but as mentioned it is minimal notice to me as well
leprechaun is 10% inf gain bonus
2xp does not affect incarnate xp at all
experienced power does +5 bars of patrol xp and is 50% bonus xp till it runs out, you can only have max of 10 bars of patrol xp
about the paragon market, everyone doesnt like it, nothing we can really do about it either except complain, although as a note costume pieces can be previewed in the costume editor either at tailor or character creation

Windfall increases the inf you gain for each kill, and your chance of getting drops. The effect is definitely more noticeable when soloing large groups. On a large team, drops are split between teammates so much that you're not really getting much anyway. If you can solo large groups, try that with and without windfall and see if you can tell the difference.|

Should I only use it solo?? I can read the description, but the team setting makes me wonder. |

| Speaking of 2x XP weekend, would that affect the iXP in dark astoria or any trials? I'd like to know how to spend my time. |

| The Leprechaun pet, how much influence does it increase? I dont want to buy it to find out. |

Why does paragon store suck so much? If I've bought 1 of 10 salvage increases, and come back later, it still shows up. If I put 1/10 salvage increase in my cart and try to buy it, it wont let me, but it does NOT tell me which item is the offending item. Costume items, there is NO link or other way to preview the costumes. Even the paragon rewards fire/ice, required too much effort to simply browse at what it is. Ok, the last is a rant, unless I'm missing some easy, fundamental way to preview costumes or some setting to hide previously purchased goods? |

You can preview every single purchasable costume item directly from a tailor or the character creation screen. In the store, they've all got an individual icon showing the costume part.|

Not always. The paragon points purchasable T9 costumes, you cant see in costume editor. Phoenix tail? Had to google for it. Plus, it is nice to see the whole set and not waste time, on gloves, ok, what kind of helmets, ohhh, what about a belt ... |

That is what more I want.
To the other posters, thank you on the clarification on xp boosters and windfall, it is greatly appreciated!

You are confusing things. The Fire & Ice sets are not part of the market, and not bought with paragon points. The Rewards system uses Tokens. And those parts are available on the website for a peak (they could add a shout out in the description, I'd agree). They do not add costume parts to the tailor for preview if you cannot buy it to prevent confusion and taunting.

Not the first time I got confused on things. So many different types of merits, tokens, etc. Thanks for the clarification.

This is how I understood things in Beta as that's pretty much what it said in the market. The only confusion I had was on the two bonus XP powers. One basically gives you 5 bars of patrol XP while the other continually gives +25% xp(?). I forget the length of time that the latter actual stays in effect, but both have a 2hr cooldown time I believe.|

In fact, I ran (what was it, ten sets of) both of the XP boosters on my lvl-pact'd toon and it was as if I was lvl'ing normally. Sure made the pact more tollerable (lvl'ng my 2nd acct using primary).

Unless you have access to the Beta/Test server (I forget what freebs get), this can be a very frustrating thing if you're just looking to piecemeal your costumes.

You can't even target the pet. However, it will not zone, so you have to summon it any time you enter a mission, travel between zones, etc.
