View Full Version : Base XP scale on Hard and Elite?

Does XP scale uniformly from normal to hard and elite? Say +10% then +20% base? I am talking about the base XP for the adventure, not about any of the other bonuses. I honestly have never paid that close attention but now I am working on a spreadsheet and was wondering if there was an easy way to scale this other then checking out what hard and elite base XP is on every quest... I have the base XP for normal quests but am looking for the hard and elite base XP for them.

Thanks!

Then, you get the first-time bonus +25% on top of that. Likewise, a quest on Elite is 2 levels above Normal, so the Base XP is as a quest 2 levels higher (and again with first-time bonus of +50% on top of that).

I do not know what the percentage is, but it does increase.

I know there is the first time bonus and all that but I am interested to see if there is a specific formula for adjusting the base XP on normal to hard or elite.

Example:
Level 3 Medium Quest on Normal base XP is 1,208

Then you put in on hard what is the base XP?

1,208 * (+1 lvl) * (length) = Base Hard XP for same quest.

So something like: 1,208 + (1,208 * .05) + (1,208 * .05) = 1,329 Base XP on Hard

I am trying to see if there is a formula that is used so I can quickly calculate the base XP values for hard and elite without having to go enter each quest on hard and elite to see what it is. That would take forever! If anyone knows the formula then I can just apply that and life would be much easier.

I would guess the level bump would be consistent but the length may change it, unless that is already calculated into the base XP on normal.

Thanks!
