A Helpful Formula for Player Exp./Level Gaining (Not a Script!)

[DatSagittarius]

Lol, I didn't know where to post this at, but anyways if there's anyone who's searching for an experience formula for player levels, well here's one I have.

Note: A scientific calculator or online smart calculator is recommended with coming up with your own formula after this whole process.  Here's an online scientific calculator site: http://web2.0calc.com/   Also, make sure to input everything exactly as I have or else you may come up with some crazy number. xD

Now let's start...
________________________ ________________________ ______
Basic/Default Formula:
50(1+the level^2.5) = Your made experience.

Note: Don't enter it in yet. xD
________________________ ________________________ ______

Examples:
Now we'll enter the following onto the calculator exactly like this: 50(1+1^2.5)    <--Which will equal 100 experience for the player to move on from level 1...

Another example, though this time going from level 2...
Now erase whatever's on your calculator & type/input the following in blue:
50(1+2^2.5) = 332 exp. <-- Also, you don't have to round the number, though it's cool to round or just leave it like this, it's completely optional.

Further examples with lv3 & lv4..
50(1+3^2.5) = 829 exp.
50(1+4^2.5) = 1650 exp.
..You just keep going like this with all the levels that you want to go up to. There's no limit to it! xD

________________________ ________________________ ________
Extra Information:
Also, you may change the 50 within the formula either lower or higher to make things either difficult or easy for players. The higher number you go, the more difficult the experience gets.  For example, if I have a number higher than 50.
60(1+1^2.5) = 120 exp. <-- Lol, see things just got a little bit harder than before.  
________________________ ________________________ ________
Now let's see what will happen if I go under 50.

40(1+1^2.5) = 80 exp. <-- Now we would just made things easier for players to level up.
________________________ ________________________ ________

Me, I just use 50 to have things start smooth and later getting difficult with players leveling up. xD
Yeah, remember to use a Scientific Calculator or go to: http://web2.0calc.com/

Hope this will help searchers out there. Enjoy.

This is helpful. Thanks. I think i will try this fomula for my game.

Maybe ye should consider dragonkills into your formula.

Yep, your welcome.

Hm, nice thinking, though I like it this way.  Lol, sorry, I'm just not in the mood with trying to add or change it.  I'm sure that someone else would possibly have the feeling to add/re-arrange things for dragon kill involvements.

Excellent work. Considering I suck at math, this was quite useful as for imputing the experience gain/reductions I needed.

*Thumbs Up!*

Lol, thanks.  I may decide to create a program where it'll be easy to calculate things much more easier than this, but again thanks.

I recommend putting this formula into a module where you can access it via popup, preferably from charstats or perhaps near the MoTD/YoM navs.

You realize this formula of his doesn't work out the actual experience needed? Take a look:

Using his calculations [50(1+the level^2.5)]:
Level 1: 100 exp
Level 2: 332 exp
Level 3: 829 exp
Level 4: 1650 exp
... And so on.

Using the correct amount of experience at 0 DK's [using lib/experience.php]:
Level 1: 100 exp
Level 2: 400 exp
Level 3: 1002 exp
Level 4: 1912 exp
... And so on.

See?

I do not think it was his intention to create a formula which calculates the exact value which is used at the moment, but to show an alternative way, maybe a better way, to calculate a usable value for the experience.

Here's the exact same formula, but taking Dragon Kills into consideration as well:

50*(1 + Level^2.5) + 25*DragonKills*Level

Take into account that because of rounding off, the experiences needed for higher Dragon Kills will be slightly off.

Also, if you change the number 50 to, for example, 40 (for lower experience), note that the number 25 at the end never changes.

Nice guys, thanks for your inputs.
