Editing Experience

Killing monsters and fulfilling certain tasks will grant players '''experience''' (also known as '''xp''', '''exp''') which they can accumulate to increase their levels in [[profession]]s. Players will start a profession with zero experience, and are able to level their professions to level 500.

==Experience table==
The following tables shows the relationship between the profession level, the experience required for that level, and the experience difference from the previous level:
{{Experience table
|collapsed-apprentice = yes
|collapsed-journeyman = yes
|collapsed-adept = yes
|collapsed-expert = yes
|collapsed-ultimate = yes
}}

==Experience figures==
The following figures show the required experience per level and cumulative experience:

[[File:Required Experience.png|x300px|Required Experience gain for Level up]]
[[File:Cumulative Experience.png|x300px|Cumulative Experience per Level]]

Since the experience scales quite significantly, here the figures are repeated with a logarithmic exp-axis:

[[File:Cumulative Experience logarithmic.png|x300px|Cumulative Experience per Level in a logarithmic scale]]
[[File:Required Experience Logarithmic.png|x300px|Required Experience gain for Level up in logarithmic scale]]

==Required experience amount breakpoints==
Based on the above table, we can notice a few breakpoints in the experience formula:

===Novice===
Levels 0-6 : every level requires around 2,95% more experience than the previous one;

Levels 7-12: every level still requires 2,95% more experience, but the required experience is also doubled;

Levels 13-20: again, every level requires 2,95% more experience, but it is once again doubled. 

For example, going from level 13 to level 14 requires slightly more than 4x the experience required from level 4 to level 5.

===Apprentice to expert===
Levels 21-200: the required experience, per level, has been quintupled (explaining why you suddenly feel like you hit a wall once you are at skill level 20), and every new level from 21 to 200 requires 1,94% more experience than the previous one.

===Expert to ultimate===
Levels 201-500: the required experience per level is now quadrupled, then every new level requires around 0,60% more experience than the previous one.

===Conclusions===
Since the experience gain per action grows at a similar rate than experience needed (the percentage increase), but with no breakpoints, one can assume that the amount of actions required to level up from, let's say, 21 to 22, is the same than the one required from 198 to 199.

Levels 0-20 are certainly made easier for the sake of allowing players to explore new professions quickly, and can be seen as the introduction to a skill and its game loop.

Levels 21-200 are intended to be regular levels, requiring some dedication from the player, and setting them up for the final xp wall. Most of the game's content for a particular skill is unlocked prior to level 200.

Finally, levels 201+ encourages the player to identify and specialise in a select few skills that they would like to pursue achievements in, such as leaderboards and the ultimate cape, or for their own enjoyment.

===Impact of knowledge conversion into experience===
Between levels 20-200: converting one knowledge point into experience grants 25% of a level.

However, between levels 201-500, each KP grants 6,25% of a level. Given that levels 200+ take four times more actions, this means that the experience each KP gives retains the scaling from 20-200. This encourages active training and prevents KP being used to significantly skip over endgame content..

==Easy battle penalty (combat)==
{{Construction}}

In active [[combat]] and activities which involve combat, such as [[detective|Crime Dens]], defeating a mob that is '''11 or more''' levels below the player's combat level will incur an experience penalty, known as the '''easy battle penalty,''' on the experience earned from completing the activity. This penalty increases with increasing level difference. 

This penalty is taken into account for experience values displayed on monster information cards, and is calculated using the player's '''current''' combat profession compared to the monster's combat level, even if the card of the monster being viewed is from another episode.

"Displayed penalty" refers to the value displayed in-game, and is currently accurate up to +256. "Actual penalty" refers to an estimate of a more precise penalty value calculated using actual numbers. Keep in mind that as monsters have differing base experience, some mathematical rounding errors may occur. The greater the base experience of the mob used to calculate actual penalty, the more accurate the actual penalty will be.

The maximum experience penalty applied to active combat in this way appears to asymptotically approach '''99.9%''', and obtained experience for any given mob cannot fall below '''1xp'''. Currently the closest point at which it approaches this value is when comparing a level 500 Watchperson with a level 39 Eyeless Zombie, a level difference of '''+461''', for which the player will obtain only 1xp out of the original 758, resulting in a '''99.87%''' penalty. Beyond this point, the experience values of lower levelled monsters in Crenopolis, where all the data is currenly taken from, are too low, and therefore too imprecise to record a higher value.

There is also an exp penalty incurred for fighting passive monsters below the highest tier available to a player, as displayed below.
