Experience

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Corpse Experience Life After Each Kill Mana After Each Kill Extra Gold Better Chance of Magic Rest in Peace Reanimate Chance to Cast When You Die When You Kill an Enemy When You Level-up Player and mercenary gain experience when monsters are killed. Experience is only gained from the first kill in the case of monsters that can be resurrected. Player also gains experience from kills made by mercenary or pets. When the player gains enough experience to gain a level there is an audible 'ding', and the New Stats and New Skills buttons will appear to the left and right respectively on the interface bar at the bottom of the screen (or in the bottom left and right corners of the screen at 640x480 resolution). Clicking on these buttons will bring up the character and skill tree screens to allocate attribute and skill points. Each level gained allows the player character to allocate five attribute points and one skill point. Current experience and experience required to gain next level are displayed on both the character screen and the interface bar (when the cursor is held over the experience meter). Points do not need to be allocated upon level up, but doing so is recommended. Attribute points are allocated by clicking on one of the buttons to the right of each of the four attributes on the character screen; a single click will allocate a single point, while a single click while holding down the Shift key will allocate all remaining points to the selected attribute. Skill points are allocated by clicking on a highlighted skill icon on one of the three skill tree tabs on the skill tree screen; they can only be allocated if the player is the required level, has all required skills and has invested less than 20 points in the skill (otherwise the icon is greyed out). Attribute and skill point allocation cannot be undone without respecialisation. Player also gains stamina, life and mana with each level,depending on class: Attribute Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necromancer Paladin Sorceress Stamina +1 +1.25 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 Life +2 +2 +2 +1.5 +1.5 +2 +1 Mana +1.5 +1.5 +1 +2 +2 +1.5 +2 Displayed stamina, life and mana values are rounded down to the nearest point, but actual life and mana are rounded down to the nearest bit (1/256 point). Chance to hit of player, mercenary, pets and monsters is also affected by level, as is the player's chance of blocking in Expansion games. Base experience gained from each kill varies depending on difficulty level, monster level and monster type: Base experience = [MonLvl * MonStats/100] [1] MonLvl values for the relevant difficulty and base monster level (no Champion or Unique bonus) [2] are modified by percentage values stored in the MonStats.txt file, which vary depending on monster type. Experience gained is further modified by other factors, in the order listed on this page. Player count As the number of players in a game increases, so does the experience gained from kills: Players Experience 1 100% (*1).0 2 150% (*1.5) 3 200% (*2).0 4 250% (*2.5) 5 300% (*3).0 6 350% (*3.5) 7 400% (*4).0 8 450% (*4.5) Monster bonus Some monster bonuses increase experience gained upon their death: Monster Experience Mlvl Champion 300% (*3) +2 Fanatic 300% (*3) +2 Ghostly 300% (*3) +2 Possessed 300% (*3) +2 Berserker 500% (*5) +3 Unique 500% (*5) +3 Super Unique 500% (*5) +3 Minion 500% (*5) +3 Bosses only receive the 500% (*5) experience bonus if they receive random Unique bonuses in Nightmare and Hell, so they only apply to Griswold, Radament and Nihlathak. Party Ceiling A ceiling of 8,388,607 maximum experience from a single kill is applied at this stage, although when playing solo this is only ever reached at higher player counts for some Evils in Hell: [3] [4] Monster Players Diablo 7 Baal 3 Diablo clone 3 Lilith 7 Uber Duriel 6 Uber Izual 5 Uber Mephisto 4 Uber Diablo 3 Uber Baal 1 Consequently killing Diablo gains no more experience when playing solo with eight players in the game over seven, while killing Baal gains no more experience when playing solo with 4-8 players in the game over just three. However, later modifications can still decrease (or increase) this value. Character level Experience gained is then modified depending on how character level compares to monster level of kills. Monster level includes any Champion, Unique or minion level bonus. [5] Bosses only receive the level +3 bonus if they receive random Unique bonuses in Nightmare and Hell, so they only apply to Griswold, Radament and Nihlathak. Clvl < 25 Experience gained by characters who have not yet reached level 25 is modified as follows: [6] Mlvl X/256 Percent > clvl+9 5 001.953125 clvl+9 38 014.84375 clvl+8 92 035.9375 clvl+7 174 067.96875 clvl+6 225 087.890625 clvl+5 - clvl-5 256 100 clvl-6 207 080.859375 clvl-7 159 062.109375 clvl-8 110 042.96875 clvl-9 61 023.828125 < clvl-9 13 005.078125 Clvl > 24 Once a character has reached level 25, experience gained from monsters of higher level is multiplied by clvl / mlvl: if experience > 1,048,576, then operation order is [experience/mlvl] * clvl; otherwise, it's [experience * clvl/mvl]. [7] Experience gained from monsters of equal or lower level is subject to the same modification as before: [8] Mlvl X/256 Percent clvl - clvl-5 256 100 clvl-6 207 080.859375 clvl-7 159 062.109375 clvl-8 110 042.96875 clvl-9 61 023.828125 < clvl-9 13 005.078125 Once again, if experience > 1,048,576, then operation order is [experience/256] * X; otherwise, it's [experience * X/256]. [9] [10] Clvl > 69 At clvl < 70, experience is also multiplied by 1024/1024: if experience < 1,048,576, then experience is unchanged (since [experience * 1024/1024] does not result in any rounding down); otherwise, operation order is [experience/1024] * 1024. [11] [12] Once a character has reached level 70, this modification begins to vary based on character level, regardless of monster level: Clvl X/1024 Percent 70 976 95.3125 71 928 90.625 72 880 85.9375 73 832 81.25 74 784 76.5625 75 736 71.875 76 688 67.1875 77 640 62.5 78 592 57.8125 79 544 53.125 Clvl X/1024 Percent 80 496 48.4375 81 448 43.75 82 400 39.0625 83 352 34.375 84 304 29.6875 85 256 25 86 192 18.75 87 144 14.0625 88 108 10.546875 89 81 07.91015625 Clvl X/1024 Percent 90 61 5.95703125 91 46 4.4921875 92 35 3.41796875 93 26 2.5390625 94 20 1.953125 95 15 1.46484375 96 11 1.07421875 97 8 0.78125 98 6 0.5859375 99 5 0.48828125 [13] If experience < 2,097,152, then operation order is [experience * X/1024]; otherwise, it's [experience/1024] * X. [14] [15] +% Experience Gained +% Experienced Gained is the last bonus applied to experience. Its percentage is applied to the current experience value and then the result is added to current experience: if experience > 1,048,576, then operation order is [experience/100] * bonus; otherwise, it's [experience * bonus/100]. [16] [17] Shrine Experience Shrine applies +50% Experience Gained while active. Small Charm Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +(5-10)% Annihilus Small Charm 70 No Staff Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +5% Ondal's Wisdom Elder Staff 66 No Experience loss Players can also lose experience upon death in Nightmare and Hell difficulty levels: 5% of the difference between the minimum experience required for the player's current level and that required for the next level is lost upon death in Nightmare, while 10% is lost in Hell (although levels already gained cannot be lost). In Expansion games, 75% of this lost experience can be recovered if the player is able to recover the corpse without saving and exiting.
