Exp split in groups, when chars are at different levels - what data do we need to figure it out?

[jak3676]

Good idea on that spreadsheet - much better than the simplified table I was starting with.

I'm speculating that there could be 2 different modifications to the EXP formula going on here - will need some data and testing to see if these are 2 different functions or 1 combined function.

1. how much experience is earned
2. how that exp is being split among the team

For a single char, or for a group of chars of the same level, the exp earned & awarded is a simple matter of comparing your char level vs the mob level. Others have speculated that in a mixed level group experienced earned may be a matter of comparing each character's level against the mobs and then that exp is then pooled among the group before being divided. This initial part seems easy to test.


My initial speculation for awarding exp is that there's some sort of average group level that's calculated and then each character's deviation from that average level reduces experience awarded.
