Experience values

[WebDragon]

I'm trying to figure out just how much exp one would get in the following situations:

1. Solo
2. Full Game, Partied, Alone
3. Full Game, Unpartied, Alone
4. Full Game, Unpartied, Within 2 screens of party
5. Full Game, Partied, Within 2 screens of party

Now I assume that the base line would be 100% exp when solo. IIRC, each additional player adds a simple 50% to the monster's exp value, bringing it up to 450% in a full game. So, based on that, how would these situations work out?

1. Solo: 100%
2. Full Game, Partied, Alone: 450%
3. Full Game, Unpartied, Alone: 450%
4. Full Game, Unpartied, Within 2 screens of party: 450% of monsters you kill
5. Full Game, Partied, Within 2 screens of party (no idea)

Can someone fill in/fix these?

Also, are these exp penalty numbers still correct?

(Taken from Dracoy's Facts and Formulae)
At clvl 76 to 80 divide experience by 2.
At clvl 81 to 85 divide experience by 3.
At clvl 86 to 90 divide experience by 4.
At clvl 91+ divide experience by 5.

4. Full Game, Unpartied, Within 2 screens of party: 450% of monsters you kill
5. Full Game, Partied, Within 2 screens of party (no idea)1 through 4 are right. Partied experience works as follows:
[Monster-Exp] = [Base-Monster-Exp] * (1 + .5*<other-players-in-game>)</other-players-in-game>
[Total-Party-Exp] = [Monster-Exp] * (1 + (89/256)*[other-nearby-partied-players])
[Your-share] = [Total-Party-Exp] * clvl/([sum-of-clvls])In your case 5, we have an 8 player game, which everyone partied and nearby, so we can simplify that to:
[Your-share] = (623/256) * 4.5 * [Base-Monster-Exp] * clvl / [sum-of-clvls]
[Your-share] = ~10.95 * [Base-Monster-Exp] * clvl / [sum-of-clvls]If all 8 characters are the same level:
[Your-share] = ~10.95 * [Base-Monster-Exp] * 1/8
[Your-share] = ~1.37 * [Base-Monster-Exp]You get more experience per monster fighting on your own in a big game, then with other people in a big game, but if you can all kill at the same rate, you will get more experience over time playing in a party.

*NOTE: I did calculations with rounding. They're really done integer division, but all terms multiplied by 256 until the last step.

EDIT: bad angle brackets counting as html.
EDIT2: I believe the clvl penalties listed are still correct, but there are also clvl/mlvl ratio penalties and bonuses from shrines and items. clvl penalty is multiplicative with clvl/mlvl ratio penalty which is multiplicative with total exp bonus (shrine (50%) + anni(5-10%) + Ondals(5%)) which is multiplicative with [Your-Share].

There's a pretty complete guide on Experience here (http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=521454).

Cheers, thanks for the formulas. One thing though, I noticed this:

[Your-share] = (623/256) * 4.5 * [Base-Monster-Exp] * clvl / [sum-of-clvls]

The underlined part, shouldn't that be 1+(623/256)?

If so, it would work out to:

[Your-share] = 15.45 * [Base-Monster-Exp] * clvl / [sum-of-clvls]

So, assuming everyone is equal...

[Your-share] = 15.45 * [Base-Monster-Exp] / 8 = 1.93 * [Base-Monster-Exp]

Full Game, Partied, Within 2 screens of party: 193%

Correct?

Correct?Yup. You are right. At some point, I'll learn to double check my work.
