I was trying to help Bel, but I determined I was wrong. I went to go test how much experience I got from a champion monster and then went to see if my math checked out. Well it turns out, it didn't.

Before killing the monster in the picture below, I took the s/s, with all other monsters around the area dead.

Info: Base experience from a Hell Buzzard is 35,520 (info here: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php/Lower_Kurast) . This is a champion (mlvl82), so it is multiplied by 3. And it's on players 8, so again multiplied by 4.5.

35,520 x (4.5) = 159,840 + 35,520 = 195,360, then 195,360 x 3 = 586,080 total experience if I were to get 100% of it. Now this is where I'm confused. At first, I thought I should get 100% of that since I'm within 5 levels of the monster. mlvl (82) -clvl (87) = -5.



Now, I looked into it further from http://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php/Experience and it showed that above level 70, it again is calculated. Which at level 87, you get 14.0625% of the experience.

My next picture is the experience from the bird's death.



The experience gained was 67,432.

If I were to take the original number calculated (586,080) and nerf from the ~14% from above, it should equal to 82,417.5 (rounded down, though). This is not the case. So I went back.

Maybe diablo takes the level of which you are, and includes that in the formula for some reason, and what I mean by that is 87, 86, 85, 84, 83, 82 (6 level difference), so I would get 80.859375% of the total experience. and then again, ~14% of that.

So, 586,080 x 80.859375% = 473,900.625 (again round down). 473,900 x 14.0625% = 66,642.1875 (rounded down). This is closer to what is shown on the LCS experience bar, but not exact.

So my question: HOW DID THIS GET CALCULATED?? I've tried many different types of calculations and I can't get it. I would be here for an hour typing all the ways I tried to calculate it and it's just annoying.

Please, do not spam topic.

Can you explain this part? Where did you get + 35 520?

Wow did you really go to all that trouble just to help me out? Thanks, I'm very appreciative! Anything that can take a bit of the sting out of he grind for level 99 is super welcome (especially since I don't have Anni )



I think he got it from here:

Nvm, I didn't see the 2nd 35520 in the equation at first

Iirc, anytime you are doing % increase you have to go back and add the original value to the number.

For instance if you had something that was $10 and marked up 25% you would do 10 x .25 to equal 2.5. We know it’s not $2.5, but that’s what you add to the original. Like I said, I’m not 100% sure on how to calculate the experience. This may not be how it works, but I’ve also tried without adding the 35,520 as well.




I think he was asking about the +XX,XXX part. Not the actual numbers.

But anytime. I want to help and I like learning. So no big deal man.

That's why it's 1.25 as the multiplier........... 100% (what it is) and the 25%

But in this case the increase isn't 450%, it's 350% (7x50%) so you've added the base twice

Ah. Even still, without adding it, it calculated to 54,525.

Damn. Too lazy to help you more, just found it while reading through quickly

E: I guess it would be easier to start with trash mobs though, to see if some calculations were right
