Talk:Experience point

Mistakes
Some formulas on here are wrong, such as the XP difference. This page claims a level 9 char in level 5 mission would have -40% xp, but in actuality it is -50%. Also, the fact that a certain difference (over 75%) causes you to get absolutely NO xp has been omitted. And, the conditions for non-violence bonuses are incorrect. 24.62


 * Thanks, and feel free to correct them. As far as I'm concerned I do not know the exact formulas. Tihocan 18:47, April 3, 2006 (EDT)

Re-entry: Leaving and re-entering a mission before completion (whether through death, recall, or exit) confers a 20% penalty for the first time, and an additional 10% penalty for each additional re-entry.

I thought it was -20% each time? Not 100% sure though. --Derickddo 11:26, February 23, 2007 (EST)

Something interesting
The Missing Party Seems the optionals keep track of the repeats on their own. Neouni 08:16, December 23, 2010 (EST)
 * Ya. It was really obvious to us back during Module 4. Prison of the Planes was THE loot run then so eventually you would repeat it so often that the quest and the optionals would give you less XP than they once did. --Borror0 15:14, December 23, 2010 (EST)
 * Yeah, there's a note about that on the page... at least regarding repeating the optionals specifically. I'm not sure if the quest repetition penalty affects the optionals; probably should go do Bringing the Light or something similarly quick a few times to test that. EDIT: And having now done so, it *is* ENTIRELY independent of the quest repetition. -LrdSlvrhnd 18:52, December 23, 2010 (EST)
 * You inadvertently removed my previous comment. I just restored it. Also, I can confirm that optionals are independent of quest repetition. They follow the same pattern than quest repetition, however. --Borror0 20:35, December 23, 2010 (EST)

incorrect statement about xp banking.
ex. A level 18 player can attain 1,899,999 XP.

This is misleading, it is possible for a level 18 to attain that many experience points, however a level 18 is also capable of attaining the experience point cap without being required to take a level.

I figured I might let someone else deal with reworking the paragraph, or deciding how to present this information...
