i just want to know :D
i think saving up only 30k exp is a little...and does saving upmore exp get your more exp for your reward?
no it doesn't help anymore...shouldn't have ever helped on cb2...but meh.
I train as often as i think of it, rarely do i not train after a BA set.

I train before I go to sleep. By that time, assuming I've used all my BAs up, I would have about 20k+ saved. Doesn't really seem like any point in saving up a lot before training.

After 13000 I train on Silence. All the others get trained after building up 14000.
I would fight until my list is comatose, then train whatever I had and go back fighting.
I train whenever I remember to do so. Usually I have 100-200k laying around.

I set goals for my next train, its very easy to manage this one mage. So If my goal is 4000 more HP/Fireball and 1000 more DM, I'll figure it out before hand on Custom and use "Other" because for some reason I have a problem with uneven numbers.
30k EXP isn't uncommon for me.
Too lazy for my own good. ;)

I have 4 Minions, I usually train after I BA set of 160 or so.. which is from 10k - 18k per minion.
whenever i notice it's over 10k, i train.
every 25k here, nice round number, round like a doughnut /me drools

Same as GL.
Saving up exp is pointless, when VPR includes all the untrained exp. It'll only hurt you.
I still have 1million exp on each minion untrain :P. There's no point putting it in due to the fact that i can't beat whoever else i am already beating with or without it.

I train after every BA reset (160) i usually have 30-45k XP.

Normally after each set of BA, whether its 160 or 503 (after I buy it all).
Sometimes, but to change things, I save xp for a few days to see a nice jump in MPR.
The most I have saved up is 1.1 million on each minion.

I train when i have time :P No specific amount :P
If you know the direction of your char, might as well train whenever you can, because reward is determined from virtual PR anyway.
If you feel you are about to retrain or like Kitty's case, won't matter much if trained, then don't train at all. Coz it'll be especially handy and XP saving to have a few million of XP during change month :)

Normally after I have 6k+ on each minion.
I like roundness so I train 3 of my minions first leaving the BL one to last in order to see if it drops from 1.00 to 0.99
If it does I train exactly 6k onto BL as this takes me up in nice round multiples of 500 without having too much experience wasted on it by being over 1.00 - the balance then goes on my HP at present.

I didn't realise people did this until recently - dunno what rock I was living under!
The people on my fightlist are generally fighting as much as me, so some of them it's a bit of a race to stay ahead of them. That way I avoid draws and at worse losses. It's also fun then to see me outpace someone who's farming me and suddenly drawing to them or better still winning!
The only time I've saved xp is when I'm planning a change and want to add a new enchantment etc.

If I let it go over 20k per minion, it seems to reduce my fight rewards. So that's my cap.
All players fought were other clan members. I had a 142% NUB and a 9.2% clan bonus.
Run 1 (22,000 exp on all minions) $4025/10 = $402.50 per fight
Run 2 (23,500 exp on all minions) $4772/10 = $477.20 per fight
Run 3 (25,000 exp on all minions) $5204/10 = $520.40 per fight
Average: $466.70 per fight
Run 1 (<10 exp on all minions) $5487/10 = $548.70 per fight
Run 2 (1000 exp on all minions) $4408/10 = $440.80 per fight
Run 3 (2500 exp on all minions) $4166/10 = $416.60 per fight
Average = $468.70 per fight

MPR only raises after you have trained, and PR will only raise if you add items or your Tattoo is growing. Saving up XP can be very useful because you do not have to change your Favorites list as often. If your like me - Inspecting all options for the highest score(Yours) vs. PR(Opponents) that you can beat for the maximum possible rewards - it can be a hassle to change it frequently.

PR will also grow if your MPR increases.
When calculating rewards, the system takes into account your untrained xp so saving it will actually decrease your rewards over time.

I've saved up 100k before and never noticed a decrease in my rewards, but I did notice after I trained the XP a dramatic drop in rewards for the same chars.
I can't speak to what you've experienced Stryfe. However, I can point to Jon's statement about virtual pr here.
Of course, it's possible he removed it again and I just can't find the post... but I doubt it
