I have a question for all the Baal experts out there. Since this is a non-teleporting character, I pass a lot of boss packs in WSK 2/3 and Throne. I was wondering at which level is it no longer worth it to kill them? I think I remember something about the best XP coming from monsters that are within 5 levels of your own... or maybe that was for mercenaries? Well, clearly I'm level 94 right now and just wondering if I should be killing boss packs in WSK/Throne or should I just blast by them? I can kill most random boss packs pretty quickly unless they are PI. Maybe I should just bypass PI boss packs only?
Characters Level 25-99
For any monster above your level, you get EXP*(Player Level / Monster Level).
For monsters between 5-10 levels below you, you receive between 100% and 5% experience.
lvl difference | exp %
6 | 81
7 | 62
8 | 43
9 | 24
10 | 5
> 10 | 5
If the monster is 10 levels or more below your level, you receive 5% of the monster's experience points.
So a Greater Hell spawn give 37694 experience on p1. So if it increases by 450% on p8, it should give 207,317 experience. Assuming you’ll receive all 100% of the experience. But since you’re 9 levels above (mlvl 85 right?), you will receive only 24% of that, which is 49,756 experience. So factor in how long it takes to kill these and then
Assuming I read the tables correctly and did the math correct.
Now I’m going to go ahead and try to figure out how to calculate a unique/champ pack but I don’t know when to do the experience multiplier. A unique/berserker get x5 experience (I think that’s base experience such as the 37,694) and champs get x3. I calculated it really quick, not knowing if I did it right.
So if someone knows if this is correct or incorrect that’d be great!
Alright, so assuming you meet a unique Greater Hell Spawn: you should get 1,036,585 experience for it, if you’re within 5 levels of the monster. But since you’re level 94, 6 levels above the unique (mlvl 88), you get 81% of that which is 839,633 experience.
IMO, until you’re 8 levels above the champs and uniques, you shouldn’t skip them. Unless they are PI.
Like I said, if someone knows if I did this correct or incorrect I’d appreciate it. I don’t want to lead someone wrong!
