Could someone who knows the wiki math stuff clean up that ugly formula? Thanks! --Kathryn Maulhammer 16:39, 22 Jun 2005 (EST)

I don't think this wiki has the math feature enabled. 20:54, 24 Jun 2005 (EST)

No, it doesn't seem to. What should be done about the formula, then? --Kathryn Maulhammer 15:00, 25 Jun 2005 (EST)

I did the formula in the Wikipedia sandbox and saved the image. 21:18, 25 Jun 2005 (EST)

Equation png isn't accurate
The picture displays the exp points as being divided by number of "allies". However, since there is an in-game term for allies which diff from party members, and I'm fairly certain Prince Rurik doesn't split exp with you (either exp is his, or exp is your party's), the equation in the picture is wrong.

And if I were wrong and the image was correct,then the bullet point summary below is wrong. -PanSola 01:36, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Hello?


 * Bump* -PanSola 08:48, 12 February 2006 (CST)


 * You are correct. Fell free to fix it. --Karlos 13:14, 12 February 2006 (CST)
 * I don't know how to use the wikimath stuff to produce picture stuff... -PanSola 14:07, 12 February 2006 (CST)
 * It's not enabled on this wiki, I believe. That image was produced on wikipedia's sandbox then saved.--Ante 10:13, 13 February 2006 (CST)

What's the maximum?
first of all, does it really exist? Even if the exact formula isn't know, I'd like to have info posted on the max for a few levels. -PanSola 11:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. The maximum is worked out by substituting the values a=1 and o=30 into the formula. Kidburla 02:40, 15 February 2006 (CST)
 * Actually o=31 is the correct value to subst as Glint is the highest-level opponent at level 31... Kidburla 05:44, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * Ok there. now Who's gonna solo kill her at level 1 to prove it?? ;] 19:51, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * I remember a while ago, when one person went past ascension with lvl 2 or 3 just to prove it could be done. Dont think it would work to solo her though ;-) --Xeeron 20:40, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * Past escension, you have already earned more then 54kxp, which gets you to atleast level 11. 02:21, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * In other words, it can be very easily claimed, that this is technically not possible, and I say this table is not necessary and irrelevant. 19:54, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * I agree this table is not necessary and is irrelevant. My question was directed at the anon edit: "There is also a maximum amount of experience a character can get per monster (not including scrolls) that changes per level", which seems to imply there is a hardcoded limit as to how much Exp you can get from one kill, regardless of enemy level (esp since it follows right after the statement that you get more exp from killing hard monsters).  Kidburla's table simply translates the above sentence as "There is a maximum level for monsters", which if it IS what the original sentence's "maximum" was based on, then I say delete the sentence all together. -PanSola 20:09, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * I agree completely with PanSola. The only way for this to be useful would be to make a matrix, where the rows are player level and the columns are monster levels.  "Maximum Experience" for a given player level is kind of absurd, and not guaranteed to remain the same, since there COULD someday be a new monster with a higher level. As noted, you can't be fighting Glint and be level 1.  ;)  --JoDiamonds 23:08, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * Right indeed. 02:14, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * I'm sorry Pan, but I don't understand what the anon edit could have meant if not that there was a "maximum level for monsters". The fact that there are no monsters with higher levels than 31 means automatically that there is a highest XP amount you can get. Also, the amount of XP you have at Dragon's Lair is a lot less than 54k; you could have skipped all the missions except for Sanctum Cay and the Ascension missions themselves, and only got XP for the actual monsters you had to kill to complete these missions, along with the 100+250+250+100+250+500+250+250=1950 XP you get from the compulsory quests in Pre-Searing.
 * I admit that it probably is impossible to get to Glint with level 1, but this simply means that my upper bound for experience in this case is slightly too high.
 * P.S. I was not the anon edit who submitted that sentence in the first place. Kidburla 03:08, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * I wrote '54kxp' for sanctum cay [1] + 3 desert missions [3] + ascention [50]. it is that simple, or am I wrong? 08:15, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * The way the anon edit was written, it actually seems to me that IF you manage to kill Glint at Level 1, all by yourself, you will not gain 584 experience, but would get something less, because there is a cap on how much exp you can get from killing one monster. That's why I was asking for a chart or formula on the "maximum" (cap).  I know you weren't (or rather, I assumed you weren't) the anon edit.  If there is a capped maximum, that info would be relavent and useful.  The amount of exp you can get from solo-killing the highest level mob ever found in the game, IMHO, is not useful info. -PanSola 13:09, 18 February 2006 (CST)


 * Why do we have this in the first place, the chart I mean? I feel a better chart would be the amount of experience you get in a team of 8 for lvl. 20 kill, lvl. 24 kill, and lvl. 28 kill. The maximum experience is almost irrelevant,IMHO. --Ravious 04:00, 18 February 2006 (CST)

I have now removed the old anon edit that, after the mention of killing harder mobs gives you more exp, says there is also a maximum of exp per mob you can get (the also implies harder mobs gives more exp isn't the end of the story). I think the chart should go too, but would like to reach a consensus or overwhelming majority before removing that one. -PanSola 13:13, 18 February 2006 (CST)


 * Now the information is not misleading, but imo still irelevant. I'm for taking it off too. 19:23, 18 February 2006 (CST)
