Easy battle penalty
The Easy battle penalty is a experience penalty for fighting monsters that are too low level for your current combat level. It starts when you get to be too many levels above what you are fighting, and becomes 1% higher for each level beyond that limit. The limit seems to change depending on the enemy you are fighting.
It is unknown if there is a cap to the penalty.
