1. Introduction
There are so many threads about where to leveling, exp penalties, stealing others exp (meteor) etc. Hope to see less of them in future.

This short guide covers many questions regarding experience, however, there are few more. I plan to anser them an other day.



2. Total experience

TExp = base_monster_exp * type_mod * player_mod * party_mod

TExp:
This variable is used to calculate the individual experience


base_monster_exp:
is the experience listed at the arreat summit.


typ_mod:
This modifier's value is given by the type of a monster.
normal_monster: 1
champion: 3
unique: 5

note: For bosses the base_monster_exp * type_mod is listed on the arreat summit.


player_mod:
This modifier's value is given by the amount of players in the game
1 player: 1
2 player: 1.5
3 player: 2
4 player: 2.5
5 player: 3
6 player: 3.5
7 player: 4
8 player: 4.5

note: player_mod = 1 + (#players - 1) * 0.5
note: Monster's HP modifier is the same.


party_mod:
This modifier's value is given by the amount of partymembers in the same area (~2 screens).
1 player: 1
2 player: 1.33
3 player: 1.66
4 player: 1.99
5 player: 2.32
6 player: 2.65
7 player: 2.98
8 player: 3.31

note: player_mod = 1 + (#player - 1) * 0.33



3. Individual experience

3.1 Lvl 1-24 chars

gained_Exp = mod_1 * mod_plvl * TExp

mod_plvl:
This modifier's value := char_lvl / "sum of partymember's charlevels in the same area(~2 screen)"


mod_1:
This modifier's value is given by the level diffrence between monster and you.
LDiff := monster_lvl - char_lvl
LDIff _ >= 10: 0.05
LDiff _____ 9: 0.15
LDiff _____ 8: 0.36
LDiff _____ 7: 0.68
LDiff _____ 6: 0.88
LDiff -5 to 5: 1
LDiff ____ -6: 0.81
LDiff ____ -7: 0.62
LDiff ____ -8: 0.43
LDiff ____ -9: 0.24
LDiff <= -10: 0.05



3.2 Lvl 25-69 chars

gained_exp = mod_2 * mod_plvl * TExp

mod_2:
This modifier's value is given by the level diffrence between monster and you.
LDiff := monster_lvl - char_lvl
LDIff ___ > 5: char_lvl / monster_lvl
LDiff -5 to 5: 1
LDiff ____ -6: 0.81
LDiff ____ -7: 0.62
LDiff ____ -8: 0.43
LDiff ____ -9: 0.24
LDiff_ <= -10: 0.05



3.3 Lvl 70-99 chars

gained_exp = mod_3 * mod_2 * mod_plvl * TExp

mod_3:
This modifier's value is given by your clvl := char_lvl
clvl 70: 0.9531
clvl 71: 0.9063
clvl 72: 0.8594
clvl 73: 0.8125
clvl 74: 0.7656

Nice guide there :smiley:

[snowBlizz]

nice
sticky?

[MaxMax]

Good idea, and good guide

[pxlxyxr]

very nice guide :grin: definitely should be stickied

[seralph]

Thanks for the encouraging comments. I appreciate them.

I don't know about this being a 'guide' (what does it guide me to do?), but I thought all this information was already in the Strategy Compendum and/or in the Statistics forum, where it technically belongs. This is just a collection of formulae we knew already, it doesn't necessarily teach u how to do anything.

Great guide! I have two questions:
1) For the mod_plvl calculation, shouldn't it be "/" instead of "*"?
2) For LDiff, is it determined by the char making the killing blow, or is it calculated individually for each char?

[AnimeCraze]

You should make a note of how high lvl monsters have A LOT more exp than lower lvl ones that even 50% of high lvl ones are more than worth it if you can kill them at a reasonable rate (or have someone do it for you).

1) you are right. May a moderator fix this.
2) it's calculated individually

For sure this isn't really new. It's the same since a long time. In the SC there is afaik only a table which list the acts you should play in at a certain clvl. This guide contains much more information and is manly thought to help people calculating the exp on their own.
