List of XP bonuses
Big Yager
lists zones with their corresponding XP bonuses? I've only been able
to dig up this:
Droga increased by 12%
Nurga increased by 12%
Solusek's Eye (SolA) increased by 13%
Najena increased by 13%
Befallen increased by 13%
Paw increased by 13%
Permafrost increased by 13%
Kaesora increased by 18%
Qeynos Catacombs increased by 20%
Runnyeye increased by 20%
Kerra Ridge increased by 20%
The Hole increased by 25%
But these are only the increases SoE has made and not the actual
values themselves (unless these were given the standard bonus prior to
this upgrade).
Thanks.

Basic XP formula for mobs is something like (MobLevel * MobLevel * ZEM),
where ZEM is those numbers. The basic result gets modified depending on
mob level relative to player level when awarded (ignoring group XP split
and bonus here). There's a cap on the max award (IIRC the best XP is
for mob level = player level + 2, so red cons give no more XP than high
yellows), a reduction if the mob is light blue, or reduction to zero if
is green, an increase if the player is over L50 and the mob is "close"
to the players level (-4 to +2, or something like that), ... I think
that's all of them.
Oh, so the advantage of knowing those numbers is that if you know that
in zone X the XEM is 75 and in zone Y the ZEM is 100 you'll be able to
get 33% more XP in zone Y for kiling the same level mob. So if mobs
are equally plentiful and killable zone Y lets you gain XP faster over
time than zone X (but if there're 6 bazillion players competing for
spawns in zone Y you might well be able to gain XP faster in zone X).

That last one is kind of weird. I was under the impression that soe never
gave out that information and it was gotten by player analysis. But you
cant even get xp in the arena afaik. So where did that number come from?
Beal
Are there any quests that can be completed in any zone? You usually
need to do a turn-in to a particular NPC in a particular zone, but if
you could do a quest in the Arena, you could determine the ZEM there.
Another way would be to attend an event where exp was earned for a
GM-MOB kill.
In any case, it is also possible that whoever originally created this
list started with a spreadsheet of all zone names and set the
"default" ZEM to 75. Since he found no ZEM for the Arena, he just
left it at the default.

The basic formulas for xp go as follows -
Where -
ZEM = Zone Experience Modifier
ML = Mob Level
GB = Group Bonus (1)
HCB = High Con Bonus (2)
N = number of players in group
S = sum of levels in group
PL = player level
B = Base mob xp (3)
XP = Xp awarded to player (4)
(1) For (N=1, GB=1.0; N=2, GB=1.2, N=3, GB=1.4;
(N=4, GB=1.6; N=5, GB=1.8; N=6, GB=2.16)
(2) HCB = 1 if ML < 55 or PL < 50 or PL-ML > 5
else
HCB = 1.95 + ((ML - (PL-5)) * .13)
(3) B = ML*ML*ZEM*GB
(4) XP = B * (PL + 5) / (S + (N*5)) * HCB
Empirically this appeared to be true -
While PL'ing in the Hole (ZEM = 100) I saw the
expected XP gain from the PL'ee's with this formula.

Based on this formula what is the exp number value for each level? I'm
curious, I have to try this :) This would help so i can figure out how
many mobs till I level :)

Where
PL is Player level
M is the modifier (1)
R is the race penalty
XP to get through a level is
PL*PL*PL*1000*M*R
M is the tricky one.
It used to be that
M = 1 for levels 1-24
M = 1.1 for 25-29
M = 1.2 for 30-34
M = 1.3 for 35-39
M = 1.4 for 40-44
M = 1.5 for 45-50
This caused the famous "Hell Level" effect
To get from 24 to 25 the amount of xp needed (for humans) was
(24^3*1000*1.0*1.0) - (23^3*1000*1.0*1.0) or
13,824,000 - 12,167,000 = 1,657,000
But to get from 25 to 26
(25^3*1000*1.1*1.0) - (24^3*1000*1.0*1.0) or
17,187,500 - 13,824,000 = 3,363,500
Then from 26 to 27
19,333,600 - 17,187,500 = 2,146,100
So, every time the modifier went up, there was a hell level
where you needed to make up the difference in the modifier times
your total xp to that point.
They smoothed this progression out,- the amount of xp to get from an
old hell level to the level just prior to the next one is the same as
it used to be, but it is distributed more evenly so there is no hell
level. The last level needs more xp than it used to, the hell level
less. It's probably done with another modifier based on level, but
I don't know the precise mods.

Excellent stuff. Thanks.

Im surprised with some of these values. Airplane, fearplane and hateplane
seem a bit low at 75. Air and hate still need a wizzy to get you there, and
fear IS hard for the average mob level.
Most of the cities have a decent modifier. Kaladim particularly high. (who
hunts in kaladim?)
TheGrey at 65? Hello? Shouldnt that make it at least a little higher than
the average zone?
Veeshan 75? hmm its a hard zone to get to, and its a bad zone to wipe in.
Should be at least 100.
Crushbone 160? I dont see any justification to this.
Guktop 150. I dont see that its all that hard. OK so dungeons are harder,
but I see plenty of dungeons with much less than 150.

No. The mobs there are actally very easy. It was the first place AE
killing made it's reappearance during luclin.

Generally not an experience zone. It was added to be a raid zone.

They were to solve a problem. Newbies were not going to dungeons, they
were all leveling up single pulling in Lake of Ill Omen. So Verant tried
to make dungeons more newbie friendly. They revamped the rezes so clerics
got them much earlier, added low level summon corpse and low level
evacuates, and last but not least, gave everything considered a "newbie
dungeon"... Crushbone, Blackburrow, Upper Guk, Kurn's Tower, Paudal Caverns,
etc... an absurdly high experience modifier.

and this has been this way for how many years? Ever since I've been
playing, this is a big possibility in Crushbone... my point, is that

You sort-of missed my point. CB has always been pretty much over-camped,
and safe for newborns, as you observed... upping the ZEM on it was
utterly counter-intelligent.
