For the sake of being rigorous, the following data has been observed based on an incomplete chart, not datamined.

Levels 201-500: the required experience per level is once again quadrupled, then every new level requires around 0,60% more experience than the previous one.

To say it differently: at level 20, you've got 4,8% of the experience to level 50, 1% of the experience to level 100, 0,13% of the experience to level 200 and 0,002% of the experience to level 500.

At level 100, you've got 12% of the experience to level 200, and 0,2% of the experience to level 500.

At level 200, you've got 1,5% of the experience to level 500.

At level 350, you've got 30,7% of the experience to level 500.

While I haven't checked the increase in experience gained per action yet, I assume it follows a fairly similar formula regarding the percentage increases, but completely ignores the multipliers at specific breakpoints. It'd mean that you have indirect penalties if you do underleveled content, but that each level takes a similar amount of actions if you do "on-level" content (barring the breakpoint multipliers).
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.

'''Impact of knowledge conversion into experience:'''
'''Additional data needed:'''

Levels 20-200: converting one knowledge point into experience grants 25% of a level.


Levels 201-500: it grants 6,25% of a level. This is logical: since levels 200+ take four times more actions, having knowledge granting 25% of a level would mean post 200 leveling would rely mostly on knowledge conversion, which would feel weird for sure.
Providing exp gained per action isn't quadrupled either for levels 201+, it would be interesting to know whether converting knowledge into experience ends up being the fastest way to level past this point, considering knowledge conversion seems to be granting around 20-25% of a full level. I don't have a high level skill personally so additional data would be very helpful.
