Experience point

Experience points (also known as experience or XP) are awarded for completing quests, objectives and miscellaneous goals. Gaining sufficient XP allows a character to advance their level.

Effect of XP

The XP bar at the bottom of the screen indicates how close you are to reaching the next rank or level. Levels are divided into 5 Ranks per level, and gaining sufficient XP for the next rank awards an Action Point. Every time the bar fills, a pip is filled - when all 5 pips are filled, the character has sufficient XP to advance to the next level. Epic levels tweak these mechanics slightly, but the principles are the same.

Key clarifications

Players coming from pen and paper D&D or other computer RPGs may have assumptions about how experience works.

• DDO experience is awarded for specific achievements (usually completing quests and objectives.) Generic activity - killing foes, making checks, performing actions, finding treasure - does not award XP unless it contributes to an objective.
• All races, classes and class combinations earn experience identically.
• Experience awards are affected by character level relative to the level of the quest or objective, and by various situational factors.
• Experience is never "lost" or "spent" from the XP total, with one exception: True Reincarnation, which resets a character to the start of their new level.
• Experience is awarded as soon as a relevant objective is met. PCs must speak to an NPC Trainer to advance in level, and must be in a public (non-adventure) area to spend Action Points.
• A character is not required to gain a level upon obtaining sufficient experience; further experience gained is applied to their XP total, but provides no benefits until the character advances to the next level. If a character gains sufficient XP to advance more than one level, the extra experience is usually lost.

Earning XP

There are several methods to earn experience points.

• Quests
• Wilderness adventure areas
• Sagas
• Monster Manual rewards
• Daily Dice rewards
• Otto's Boxes

Some XP adjustments apply equally to all members of the party, while others are applied individually. XP awards are not split among party members, and are not affected by party size.

All bonuses are added together and can make a quest worth the time and effort to complete even if there are penalties. However, there are two cases where a quest's main XP reward will be 0 regardless of bonuses:

• If you meet a condition that explicitly prohibits XP gain
• There are enough penalties to reduce the reward to 0 XP before bonuses are applied. You may still get fractional XP gains in some circumstances due to rounding.

Note: many veteran players do not care to maximize their XP by completing every optional objective; they instead consider the "XP per minute" of a given quest, and whether it's more XP to do 2 quests with minimal optional objectives vs. doing one with many.

Main quest objectives

Complete all main objectives inside a quest. Some main objectives remain hidden until triggered. Main objective XP is usually higher than that of optional objectives. Changes to conditions after the main objective XP is awarded don't affect the amount, though they may change what's reported in the quest log.

When a character reaches Legendary levels (level 30+) they may no longer gain XP from Heroic or Epic quests. They may still gain XP for milestones in Heroic or Epic Wilderness Areas.

The main XP is bestowed upon completion of the quest, and the following bonuses are additive, not multiplicative:

Individual quest XP modifiers

These modifiers are determined for each party member individually.

Delving bonus

Once per life, you can get up to 150%* of the quest base XP as bonus XP as a Delving bonus for running the quest on higher difficulties for the first time. This is split up into 3 50% bonuses: one for Hard, one for Elite and one for Reaper. If you skip difficulties, you will claim earlier bonuses retroactively.

The maximum Delving bonus is awarded when the highest level character is 2 levels within a Heroic quest's, or 4 levels within an Epic or Legendary quest's Normal difficulty. If any character is above this the Delving bonus is halved.

First-time difficulty completion

When you complete a quest on any particular difficulty for the first time in the current life, you receive a "first time completion" bonus to the base XP. This includes Casual, Normal, Hard, Elite, and Reaper* each as "separate difficulties" for this first time difficulty bonus. It does not matter in what order these are run, unlike the Delving bonus.

This bonus varies with difficulty:

• Solo, Casual, Normal, Hard: 20%
• Elite, Reaper*: 45%

The over-level penalty does not apply to the first time completion bonus as long as any XP is awarded.

*Reaper difficulty is treated as a single difficulty regardless of the number of Skulls.

Tome of Learning bonus

Tomes of Learning offer a 25% (Lesser) and 50% (Greater) first-time bonus in Heroic quests, and a 15% (Lesser) and 25% (Greater) first-time bonus in Epic quests, respectively. They also grant 5-20% bonus XP of all types: 10% and 20% for the Lesser and Greater Tomes of Learning, 5% and 10% for the Lesser and Greater Tomes of Epic Learning.

Daily bonus

Completing a specific quest the first time a day grants a 25% XP bonus for Heroic quests, and 40% bonus for Epic quests. You must wait 18 hours after last completing it to be eligible.

Quest ransack penalty

Each time you repeat a quest, the XP the quest grants decreases by 20% to a minimum of 20%. Every 18 hours after the most recent completion, the penalty is reduced by 50%. This penalty is waived if there is a "first time" difficulty bonus, and does not count towards the penalty.

Power-leveling penalty

You receive no penalty if questing with characters 3 or fewer levels above yours

If you are questing with characters 4 or more levels above yours you will suffer an individual penalty:

• 4 levels above: you receive a 50% penalty,
• 5 levels above: you receive a 75% penalty,
• 6 levels above: you receive an 87.5% penalty,
• For each additional level above: you receive a multiplicative 50% penalty.

Note 1: Epic and Legendary characters do not receive this penalty.
Note 2: This is added to the penalty for the highest level player being more than 1 level over the dungeon level. If this is 100% or more, you gain no XP whatsover.

Death

There is a +10% Flawless Victory Bonus if you don't die. (Unconsciousness is not death unless you release.)

Reentry (Individual)

Each reentry confers a 20% penalty, to a maximum of -90% for the fifth. This penalty doesn't apply on Solo or Casual difficulty.

Late entry

If you first entered the dungeon ten or more minutes after it opened, there can be a late entry penalty. If you're in the dungeon for less than 25% of the completion duration, you can suffer an 80% penalty. If more than a quarter but less than half, you can suffer a 50% penalty instead. Info here. The penalty is based on time and progress; there are circumstances where it isn't applied.

VIP bonuses

• VIP players get a multiplicative 10% XP bonus, applied after all others.
• Group Bonus: VIP players and Season Pass holders get a small group bonus to XP as of Update 46, patch 3. The bonus is per player and provides a 1% XP boost per member, for a maximum bonus of 5% for a party and 11% for a raid. This bonus stacks with and is in addition to other boosts, including weekend XP bonuses, DDO Store elixirs, and Buddy Boost weekends.

Note: The VIP bonus is not listed in the overview but shown in the chat log.

Party quest XP modifiers

These modifiers are applied to all members of the party.

Group bonus

When the DDO Buddy Weekend event is active, characters gain an extra 10% XP per other player (50% max) at quest completion. This only applies to regular quests - not wildernesses or raids - and only the end XP, not any optional objective XP. There is a separate 5% bonus per other player (55% max) for raids. These bonuses can be toggled.

Killing monsters

Killing a large portion of the monsters present can confer a

• 10% Aggression bonus
• 15% Onslaught bonus
• 25% **Conquest** bonus

On the flip side, completing a mission while slaying very few enemies can grant

• 5% Discreet bonus
• 7% Devious bonus
• 10% **Insidious Cunning** bonus

Note that the pacifism bonus isn't listed in the XP log until after quest completion, while everything else is.

Destroying breakable objects

Destroying a large portion of the breakable objects (barrels, vases, caskets, etc.) present can confer a

• 8% Mischief bonus
• 10% Vandal bonus
• 15% **Ransack** bonus

Disarming traps

Disarming a large portion of the traps present can confer a

• 10% Tamper bonus
• 20% Neutralization bonus
• 30% **Ingenious Debilitation** bonus

Finding secret doors

Finding a large portion of the secret doors present can confer a

• 8% Observance bonus
• 10% Perception bonus
• 15% **Vigilant Sight** bonus

Level of quest vs level of highest character in quest

Compare the Heroic quest's effective level to the highest-level character to have entered the quest. If that character's level is...

• below or equal to the Heroic quest level, there is no adjustment.
• +1, there's no penalty to Base XP.
• +2, 10% penalty to Base XP.
• +3 = 25%
• +4 = 50%
• +5 = 75%
• +6 = 99%
• +7 or higher there is no XP regardless of bonuses.

Note: This over-level penalty to Base XP does not apply to Epic or legendary Quests, nor Heroic quests with an effective level of level 20 or higher.

Reentry (Party)

There is a 10% Persistence Bonus if no one leaves the quest for any reason.

Optional quest objectives

Complete optional objectives inside a quest. Common optional objectives include slaying a boss or named creature, exploring certain areas of a map, or clearing side areas of threats. Some optional objectives are shown from the start of a mission, while others remain hidden until triggered. Optional objective XP is granted instantly.

Despite the name, some "optional" objectives are actually mandatory to complete the quest (for example, defeating the waves of enemies in Devil Assault); in this case the optional objective mechanic is simply being used as a way to grant incremental XP. In some quests it's even possible to skip mandatory "optional" objectives and find that the quest does not complete — a notable example being The Endless Revels.

Optional XP can be affected by penalties, but not the bonuses; the only exceptions to this are quest XP bonuses granted by:

• Special DDO events (global 10-25% XP bonus during Festivult on Bonus Days)
• Tome of Learning
• The Voice of the Master/Mantle of the Worldshaper/The Master's Gift/Pale Green Ioun Stone
• Airship experience shrines
• Experience Elixirs purchased from the DDO Store

Basically, any modifiers listed "above the line" in the quest log, other than "First time completing <X> difficulty," counts towards calculating the Optional XP.

"Base XP," for purposes of optionals, consists of the listed XP for that level, plus possible game-wide bonus, minus any penalties which apply. This number is then further modified by any personal experience bonus gained from equipped items, airship shrines, or elixirs. For example, the base modifier for doing The Mystery of Delera's Tomb on Normal is 1,742 XP. If the quest is done without incurring any penalties, this would be the Base XP used to calculate XP from optionals... even if it's your first time through on Normal.

• With a small/medium elixir (+10% XP) in effect, the base is now 1,916 XP (110%).
• With a 25% game-wide bonus, it's now 2,177 XP (125%).
• With *both* in effect, the base XP is 2,395 XP (137.5%), rather than the 2,351 XP (135%) if they were added together before application.

Since Update 42 Patch 4, optional objectives ransack when repeated.

• The first, second, and third time you achieve an optional objective, you will receive 100% of the experience.
• The fourth time you achieve an optional objective, you will receive 80% of the experience.
• Fifth: 60%
• Sixth: 40%
• Seventh: 20%
• Eighth: 0%
• Optional Objective ransack does not reset over time. An Epic, Racial, True, or Iconic Reincarnation will reset your Optional Objective ransack.

Note that the repetition penalty is specific to the optional, and not based on the quest's repetition penalty (e.g., in Walk the Butcher's Path, if you survive the ambush several times without having completed the quest, you'll start to lose XP for it... even though it's technically your first time through the quest.) The reverse is also true; if you complete a quest several times, but one of the optionals just once (for instance: while farming a Muckbane, you complete Durk's Got a Secret five times before spawning Muck), you won't have a repetition penalty for the XP gained by completing the optional. The repetition penalty is not removed for the first time on a certain difficulty.

Optional XP which has already been awarded will not be changed by subsequent penalties (from death, re-entry, or a higher-level character joining the quest); the amount listed in the XP Log will lower if there's a change, but you won't actually lose the XP. Any uncompleted Optionals, however, will be affected.

On Casual, optionals are worth the listed percentage multiplied by 1.67; this is not the case for solo-only quests.

XP log

Bonuses and penalties are calculated and locked in when the main quest is completed, which may not be accurately reflected in the quest XP log. The XP log bonuses/penalties continue to be updated after the XP is locked, so you may see some bonuses/penalties listed that you didn't actually get (e.g., you may see a re-entry penalty reducing your listed XP because you finished-out and re-entered after the quest was completed: you actually got the full XP, but it now displays less than that). This holds true to optional XP as well.

The XP log is updated when:

• (individual) YOU log in
• (party-wide) Player Dies
• (party-wide) Henchman Dies
• (party-wide) Monster Dies
• (party-wide) Chest Looted
• (party-wide) Secret Door Discovered
• (party-wide) Trap Disabled
• (party-wide) Breakable Smashed

(Explained by dev Phax here)

Wilderness areas

Wilderness adventure areas have different XP adjustment rules than dungeon quests. Each wilderness area has a range of levels it supports. If all party members are within the area's range, they all receive normal XP and objective progress. If any characters are above the area's maximum level, no one except that character can make progress toward objectives. The ones above the limit can still complete objectives, but they receive reduced XP: 1/2 if they're one level over the maximum, 1/3 for two levels, 1/4 for three, 1/5 for four, and so on. Characters below the area's minimum level never make progress toward objectives (if they are allowed in at all!), and are completely ignored when determining XP for the other members in their party.

Monster Manual

Monster Manuals grant relatively small amounts of XP based on the number and variety of a certain (sub-)type of monster that you or your party kills. Each MM has a different selection of "target" monster types. The XP granted is modified by any XP boosts.

The Monster Manual Prologue is free to all players, Premium players also enjoy MM 1, and VIP have access to all Monster Manuals.

Banking experience

A character does not have to level up as soon as they have enough experience to do so. If they choose, they can stay at their current level, and earn up to as much as {one point less than enough XP for 2 levels}. This is called banking experience. Some players use this process to extend the time that lower-level quests provide full XP, or to stay at the same level as others you are questing with. This is especially common in a chain of popular quests that are all at or close to the same level, but give more than enough experience to level multiple times.

• Example 1: A Level 6 character gains enough experience to make Level 7. However, they have not yet run Waterworks, a heroic quest chain that starts at base Level 3. If they took Level 7, they and the rest of the party would suffer a -10% penalty to all XP gained from the first part of the chain (which also means that many groups running the Waterworks would not accept a level 7 player.) So, that player stays Level 6 and "banks" Level 7, joins a "Level 3-5" group for Waterworks, and earns full XP - as does the entire party. Before parts 3 and 4 of the chain (which are base level 4), the party agrees to take a break and "level up", so the player can then take level 6 if they wish.
  • If that player had wanted to run parts 1 and 2 again later (as a Level 5), or run some other popular base Level 3 quests, they might not take 6 in the middle of Waterworks, stay at Level 5, and continue to bank experience up to their max of 111,999 XP (1 XP less than needed for Level 6, 112,000). Similarly, they might choose to remain at level 6 to gain full Delving Bonus from the second part (see Example 2.)
• Example 2: A player with a Level 5 character is running the adventure pack The Lost Gatekeepers, which is at level 3, on R1 with a group. Halfway through the run, this character gains enough experience to advance to Level 6. Although over-level penalty is not yet an issue, if the character takes level 6 they will lose out on half of the +150% bonus XP they would gain from Delving Bonus, since they would be 3 levels over the pack's base level. Accordingly, the player waits until the group finishes the chain before taking Level 6.

Once you have experience points beyond your current next level, when you do level, you will immediately gain access to any Action Points unlocked by the extra XP earned. If you wait until you are "capped" and then level, gaining any experience will allow you to immediately level up again.

The exception to the cap for banking is when you get to Heroic or Epic cap (Level 20 or 30); the caps for these levels are at the amount of XP needed to reach those levels, not 1 point under. This means that a level 18 character can bank 19 and 20, and take both simultaneously.

Usually, once you reach "cap", the max allowed, all other XP earned is wasted. However, it is possible to bank more than two levels. Experience from Daily Dice, Monster Manuals, and Saga rewards is known to exceed banking cap, but even regular quests sometimes allow you go beyond the cap.

Otto's Boxes and XP cap

Heroic Otto's Irresistible Boxes: Stone of Heroic Experience, does not grant experience beyond the heroic experience Cap (the start of Level 20). All XP beyond the heroic experience cap will NOT carry over to Epic Experience and will be lost.

Epic Otto's Irresistible Boxes: Stone of Epic Experience, caps at the epic level cap (Level 30). Again, this will NOT carry over to Legendary Experience.

"Art" of gaining XP

There is not much "Art" left since the introduction of the current Delving bonus and the fixed first-time completion bonus.

• You will get a Delving Bonus of 150% if you run a quest on Reaper at least once, and you meet these criteria:
  • for a heroic quest, every member of your group is at or below the quest's effective level (within 2 levels of the base level)
  • for an epic or legendary quest, every member of your group is not more than 2 levels above the quest's effective level (within 4 levels of the base level)
• You can also get a up to 150% first-time completion bonuses for running on Casual(20%), Normal(20%), Hard(20%), Elite(45%) and Reaper(45%).

Because of the lower base XP on Casual, Normal and Hard it's usually more efficient (time needed per XP) to run different quests on Elite and Reaper.

Sequences that don't start with Normal difficulty require a V.I.P. subscription (which allows a character to start on any difficulty) or a character to be Heroic True Reincarnated (once for Hard and twice or more for Elite/Reaper) or a party member who can open Elite/Reaper.
