Even against the Journeyman Insects, Darius and co did not gain much from it. The most they could get was 5 experience and that was only if the bugs were level 40, just like them.
Anything below level 35 gave 0 experience and between 35-39 gave 1 measly experience point consistently. This wasn't much of a problem when considering the fact that the Journeyman bugs were numerous, literally hundreds of them.
A consistent flow of droplets would eventually form a mighty ocean. By the time Darius and the other three were about to reach the Adept portion, which was the 50% depth of the underground, they had gone further in their after-class level up.
