Experience Distribution and Team Bonuses

First, look up the team's highest combat level in the table below to determine the maximum allowable level spread. Completely disregard all team members whose combat level is below the highest member's by more than this range. Not only will members this low get no experience whatsoever, but experience will be generated and distributed among the others as if these lower members weren't even there.

  Highest Teammate Level     Max Spread  
? ?
46-50 5


Second, determine the team's average combat level and total weight. These figures will come in handy later, and they only need to be calculated once.

2.a. Calculate the team's average combat level, dropping fractions.
2.b. Look up the weights of all team members by comparing their combat levels to the team's average in the following table. Add these together to get the team's total weight.
  Char Lvl Relative  
to Team Avg.
  Weight       Char Lvl Relative  
to Team Avg.
  Weight  
-5 and below 0   +3 1.15
-4 0.45   +4 1.25
-3 0.68   +5 1.5
-2 0.85   +6 3
-1 0.95   +7 6
0 1   +8 9
+1 1.05   +9 12
+2 1.1   +10 18


Third, for each character in the team:

3.a. Look up the standard XP reward that that character would get if he were soloing at his actual level and he defeated an equal-level version of the enemy in question.
3.b. Adjust the reward based on the enemy's actual level relative to the character's current combat level:
  Critter's Relative Level     XP Multiplier  
-5 or lower 0
-4 0.2
-3 0.4
-2 0.6
-1 0.8
  0 1
+1 1.2
+2 1.4
+3 1.65
+4 1.9
+5 or higher 2


3.c. Increase the reward based on team size:
  Team Size     XP Multiplier  
1 1
2 1.25
3 1.5
4 1.8
5 2
6 2.1
7 2.2
8 2.5


3.d. Multiply the reward by the ratio of that one character's weight to the team's total weight. (Use the table back in step 2.b. again.)
