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. | |||

How likely do you think a level 49 Halfling Cleric is to group with a level 41 Iksar Shadowknight? Well, they have the same XP total (source: http://web.archive.org/web/200108040...p/xpchart.html). The fact is that people tend to group with others around the same level as themselves, because that's what makes it easiest to gauge how tough the fights will be, and maximize the group's ability to kill things. If everyone only grouped with people of the exact same experience total, then the penalties would clearly show who'd spent way more time. But since they don't, it happens more like this: HFL CLR (150,000,000 xp) duoing with IKS SK (275,000,000 xp) kills a mob worth 1,000 xp. The group bonus is applied (1.02*1,000=1020), and the xp is split proportionally ([150/425]*1020=360) with 360 to the Halfling and 660 to the Iksar, meaning that Iksar is getting 1.8333... times the xp that the Halfling is getting per mob. | |||

If they were soloing and killed the same number of mobs the SK would not have leveled as much. Unless I'm wrong people mis-state the penalty as a group penalty. You don't recieve less XP just because you are grouped with a certain class/race. You may recieve less XP because you get a proportional amount to your total XP versus their XP and you would likely be grouping with even level players who if Hybrid have more total XP. | |||
