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.

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.

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:

3.c. Increase the reward based on team size:

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.)

Critter XP Rewards

These are the base XP reward values for each rank and level of critter. Some of the more difficult critters have a bonus modifier that increases the amount of XP rewarded.
