First Post: Introduction and test

[relic]

Hello

Unless something has changed recently, it works like this:

Each monster has an experience number, lets call it E, and also a dungeon level (DL). And your character has a character level CL. When you kill a monster, the experience you get is

E*DL/CL

Hope I got that right.

The consequence of that formula is of course that as your CL increases, you get less and less exp. for killing a specific monster. This encourages people to go deeper in the dungeon in order to raise their CL.

I don't know the formula, but if you (l)ook at a monster, then (r)ecall details about it, it will have somewhere in the description "Killing a monster of this type is worth X experience points for a level Y Z" (where X is the amount, Y is your current level, and Z is your race/class).

The monster has a base xp value, which is then divided by your character level. So yes, when you rise from level 1 to level 2, all monsters are suddenly worth half as much xp as they were. But when you rise from level 10 to level 11 the drop is only 10%.

Hello everyone, my very first post on this forum. I learned about rougelikes not long ago, and I seemed to pick them up very quickly, but by far my favourite RL is Angband. I have been playing it for a few months and am still not exactly good at it, but I still enjoy it. I also enjoy FAAngband.
Looking forward to gaining experience from these forums and taking more steps to killing old Morgie!

My first Question: How does the experience system work, I understand the base XP required to advance to the next level depends on your race and class, but what I don't get is how much XP you gain from monsters. When you go up a level does the XP received from slaying monsters go down by half or something?

Thanks =)
