Levelin an iksar SK atm, /grin
Not assuming they both soloed.

a halfling warrior requires 0.855exp, an iksar SK requires 1.68exp

settem equal, 0.855x = 1.68x and you're left with x(halfling war) = 1.96x (iksar sk)

a halfling at level X will have Y experience, an iksar at that same level X will have 1.96Y experience. It doesn't matter where that exp came from.

Example. Lets assume a few things (for illustrative purposes)
Assume experience is distributed evenly throughout the levels. It takes the same amount to ding level 2 as it does level 60.

Lets also assume that monsters will give the same amount of experience regardless of group makeup or level.

Also, lets assume it takes the halfling 1000 exp points for each level, so at level 60 it will have 59,000 exp (you start at level 1) it will then take the iksar 1.96(59,000) = 115,640 exp to get to level 60

A halfling warrior and an iksar SK start at level 1 (0 experience) and group together. Lets say they kill a bunch and they both have 59,000 experience. the halfling just got to level 60! yay! but that poor iksar is ((115,640/59 = 1960) (59,000/1960=30) still level 31 (you have to add a level because you start at level 1) The iksar still has 115,640 - 59,000 = 56,640 experience to go. So he could pick up another halfling and he would get to level 60 around the same time that halfling gets to almost 58.


If you want to take away the assumptions you can look at my post here.

I assume nice round numbers for exp values to make the calculations simpler. I don't know the true values for the exp requirements or i would include them in a giant big post (i'm also too lazy to speculate).

tl;dr: Your level is decided by your exp total, it doesn't matter how you acquired the exp.
