Greetings! New poster here.
I'm looking for some help with player experience calculations. I'm working on an online calculator to help gauge where to best level based on monsters XP and your character's clvl.
Tool uses the patch MPQ .txt files that have been ported to MySQL as it's data source. I'm pretty sure I'm generating the correct base XP for each monster, but having trouble calculating the actual XP a character receives per kill after factoring in the clvl 70+ penalty and the various penalties from differences between clvl and mlvl.
I think I have the lvl70+ penalty down correctly - it's just x/1024 where x comes from the experience.txt table, correct? It's the rules for mlvl//clvl differences that have me confused, and the order in which these two penalties are applied.
A 'beta' page of the calc is up in a temporary location at:
Beta calculator
There's a link to the PHP code I'm using for the mlvl//clvl calcuations. If anyone could review that code, or provide a basic tutorial on the rules (or a link to the rules) I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks!
