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 their numerical scaling from 20-200, but are 4 times less effective due to the increased experience per level. This encourages active training and prevents KP being used to significantly skip over endgame content..

==Easy battle penalty (combat)==
==Experience penalties==
{{Construction}}
The game imposes several experience penalties for overlevelling certain activities, as detailed below.


In [[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.
===Easy battle penalty===
In [[combat]] and activities which involve combat, such as [[detective|Crime Dens]], defeating a monster 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.


Although the game has a display for this during combat initiation, this indicator is not always accurate. The experience awarded for fighting a monster of a certain level below the player's combat level can be more accurately estimated with the following formula. This is also reflected when looking at 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.
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.


=== Passive combat penalty ===
<math>Current XP = BaseXP \times 0.5^{\frac{C - M - 10}{50}}</math> rounded down to the nearest integer.
The exp penalty incurred for fighting lower tiered passive monsters is displayed below.

|C
|The combat profession level of the player, depending on the episode they are currently physically located in. For example, if a player looks at a monster card of a monster from Mines of Mantuban while physically standing in Crenopoplis, this would be their '''Watchperson''' level, NOT their Minefighter level.

From this we can deduce that the XP penalty itself is given by the following

<math>Penalty% = 100 \times (1 - 0.5^{\frac{C - M - 10}{50}})</math>

where <math>C-M-10 \geq 0</math>

The theoretical maximum penalty, applied when a level 500 player fights a level 0 monster, according to this formula, is '''99.89%'''. However, due to the low base experience (205) of a level 0 monster, this value (0.23) is rounded up to 1xp, which is the minimum xp a player can earn after defeating a monster. This decreases the actual penalty to '''99.5%''', despite the actual penalty being theoretically much higher.

Currently the smallest observable penalty ingame occurs at a combat level difference of +11, giving a penalty of 1.38% (displayed as 2% in-game), while the greatest observable penalty, currently still subject to more testing, occurs when comparing a level 500 Watchperson with a level 39 Eyeless Zombie, at a level difference of +461, for which the player will obtain '''1xp''' (rounded down from 1.46) out of the monster's 758 base experience, resulting in a '''99.87%''' penalty correct to two decimal places (displayed as 99% in-game).

===Passive activity penalty===
The player will incur an experience penalty for doing passive activities below the highest tier available to them, which is summarised below. Decimal experience values after calculation are rounded down. This penalty is not combat-specific, and is not explicitly displayed anywhere in-game.

This experience penalty is applied immediately upon reaching the level of the next passive activity, based on the moment the player receives the experience drop that causes the level up. As such this penalty is applied even before the player unlocks their newest passive ability.

Offline experience is only calculated upon the player relogging back into the game. Therefore, assuming the player does not log in too early, it is possible to log off before a passive tier breakpoint for 24 hours to obtain the maximum amount of non-penalty experience, using it to level beyond the breakpoint. However, deliberately doing this over active training is not advised, as active training will always yield faster experience rates.
=== Active combat penalty ===
When initiating active combat, the "Displayed penalty" on the battle initiation interface in-game, as noted in the table below, is not always entirely accurate. The "Actual penalty" column in the table below 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 penalty will be.

The maximum penalty applied to active combat experience in this way appears to asymptotically approach '''99.9%'''. Currently the closest point at which this is achieved occurs when comparing a level 500 Watchperson with a level 39 Eyeless Zombie, for which the player will obtain '''1xp''' out of the monster's 758 base experience, resulting in a 100% - 1/758 = '''99.87%''' penalty, correct to two decimal places. As a level 500 Watchperson will obtain 2xp from the next highest levelled monster (a level 48 Snarling Spectral Stalker), this places the current known easy battle penalty soft cap between a level difference of '''+453''' to '''+461''', subject to further testing.

As the player will always receive 1xp minimum for defeating a monster, it is impossible to visualise any further penalty increases in-game beyond a level difference of '''+461''', even if lower level monster data suggests this to be the case. Given current data, the base experience of any monster below level 39, from which a level 500 Watchperson would still obtain 1xp, would result in a higher final percentage and therefore negatively impact the precision of the calculated penalty. For example, a level 500 fighting a level 1 monster would still only gain 1xp, but because the monster's base xp is only 205, this results in a less precise calculation as 1/205 is bigger than 1/758.
