Experience All characters receive experience during the game. Experience determines your level, which determines hit points, mana points, spells, abilities, etc. The amount of experience required to advance a level is a base value (shown below) plus a penalty for race and class. 1.1 Calculating Experience Levels Base Experience Lv Exp to Adv Lv Exp to Adv Lv Exp to Adv 1 10 14 1,400 27 35,000 2 25 15 1,800 28 50,000 3 45 16 2,300 29 75,000 4 70 17 2,900 30 100,000 5 100 18 3,600 31 150,000 6 140 19 4,400 32 200,000 7 200 20 5,400 33 300,000 8 280 21 6,800 34 400,000 9 380 22 8,400 35 500,000 10 500 23 10,200 36 750,000 11 650 24 12,500 37 1,500,000 12 850 25 17,500 38 2,500,000 13 1,100 26 25,000 39 5,000,000 Maximum level is 40 and maximum experience is 9,999,999 There are percent penalties for various races and classes to help even them out. The table below lists all the penalties. Human 0% Warrior 0% Half-Elf 10% Mage 30% Elf 20% Priest 20% Halfling 10% Rogue 0% Gnome 25% Ranger 40% Dwarf 20% Paladin 35% Half-Orc 10% Half-Troll 20% For example: For a 10'th level Gnomish Mage to achieve 11'th level needs: 500 * 1.25 * 1.30 = 812.5 (base) (gnome) (mage) Note: Even for the worst case (Gnomish Ranger) it is still possible to achieve the 40th level. (5,000,000*1.25*1.40=8,750,000 experience) The program internally keeps experience out to the fourth decimal place even though it only displays the integer portion on the screen. 1.2 Getting Experience There are many ways to gain experience. This list shows a few. 1. Defeating monsters 2. Disarming traps 3. Picking locks 4. Using a scroll, potion, staff, wand, or rod for the first time and discovering what it did. 5. Casting a spell successfully for the first time. 6. Drinking a potion of gain experience or gain level 1.3 Titles Each experience level has a title which is displayed under your name and class.
