Experience

From SoDWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Colloquially known as XP or EXP, experience measures a character's progress. Common methods of gaining experience include slaying monsters and completing quests.

Upon accruing enough experience, a character will "level up," potentially unlocking new abilities, spells, and other content unavailable at previous levels. Some levels are milestones for certain classes, such as a Beastlord attaining his first pet at level 9, or a Wizard's teleportation spells expanding to include group members at level 29.

Experience Modifiers

Experience can be subject to many modifiers, including bonuses for hunting in a new area, being part of a group, or playing during a special occasion (e.g., Christmastime). New area bonus eventually degrades into an old area penalty if the player lingers for too long in the comfort of a single zone. Area bonuses and penalties reset upon reaching level 30, 50 and 65, reverting to a 100% experience bonus in all zones. At 65, the area modifier can be reset based on how much AA or tome experience one has gained.

Group experience bonuses are 50% for 3 characters, 100% for 4, 150% for 5, 200% for 6. This means that a party of 2 receives the same amount of experience per kill as a party of 6. Because of this, having a full group is usually the optimal setup, unless special loot considerations are in play.

Experience Table

The following table displays the amount of experience required to gain each level.

Note: Racial experience modifiers, such as the Erudite's 2.5% bonus to experience, are not accounted for in these values. However, the net effect of such bonuses is small enough that the figures shown here can still serve as reliable estimates.
