Stereo Wrote:If I remember right it's 80-20, meaning 80% of the exp is split fairly between the party members (based on level) and 20% is split based on damage.

In a 2 person party this means a pure leecher gets half of the 80% and none of the 20%, so 40% of the exp.
In a 4 person party, leechers each get 20% of the exp.

Level difference goes like "add all the levels, then party member gets a percent equal to their contribution." So level 100+200 means the level 100 gets 33% and the level 200 gets 66% of the exp.

SaptaZapta Wrote:The leech formula is the same as anywhere else. The difference is that after it's applied, each person's share gets the party play bonus added to it (as well as any other relevant bonuses, such as HS or Mercedes link).

It has two parts.
One part splits the experience by damage done to the enemy. If you're soloing, you get this entire part.
The other part splits experience by level of the party members. Assuming you and your party members are all roughly the same level, you'll each get an equal share of this.

Party play bonus is 50% per party member other than yourself, plus the regular party bonus of 5% per party member including yourself. So, 280% for a full party.

What I do recall from training:
- Killer gets about double the experience of leeches
- For killer, the bigger the party, the better (due to the bonus)
- For leeches, the smaller the party, the better (due to not sharing exp with too many other leeches. Oddly enough, the increased party bonus doesn't make up for it)

Quote:- Kill EXP: 60% * 100,000 = 60,000 EXP go to the lvl 160 killer.
- Leech EXP: 40% * 100,000 = 40,000 EXP go to everyone (including the lvl 160 killer).
- This 40,000 leech exp is then distributed with appropriate weights (levels) to the party. I believe the formula is something like EXP leech = TotalEXP * (charLevel/partyTotalLevel), in other words:

 party bonus being additive, seems like a gross overestimation

Kalovale Wrote:The exp is actually cut into 60 / 40 portions for damaged-based sharing and level-based sharing, respectively. I.e. 60% of the EXP goes to people who kill actively, 40% is distributed among party leechers. We call it the 80-20 formula because in a party of 2, the killer gets roughly 80% of the EXP (60% + 40%/2) and the leecher gets roughly 20%.

Stereo Wrote:Always confused me cause both had 80-20 and 40-60 splits, depending how you look at it.

One way: 80% to party, 20% to damage - an equal level party gets 40% (leecher) and 60% (killer).
Other way: 40% to party, 60% to damage - an equal level party gets 20% (leecher) and 80% (killer).

I'm fairly sure we receive the first of these now, and used to receive the second, but haven't actually checked.
