Experience Formula?
 
Hi there, so I was looking at the Experience Formula's for EQ on the EQ Wiki and was wondering if anyone knows if they're exactly the same in 1999. They are as follows:

Code:

1. Calculate group bonus based on the number of PCs in your group

        For N=        1        2        3        4        5        6
        GB=    1.0        1.2        1.4        1.6        1.8        2.16

    2. HCB = 1; if ML < 55 or PL < 50 or PL-ML > 5
    HCB = 1.95 + ((ML - (PL-5)) × .13); otherwise.
    3. B = ML × ML × ZEM × GB
    4. XP = B × (PL + 5) / (S + (N × 5)) × HCB

Where:

    ZEM = Zone Experience Modifier
    ML = Mob Level
    GB = Group Bonus (1)
    HCB = High Con Bonus (2)
    N = number of players in group
    S = sum of levels in group
    PL = player level
    B = Base mob xp (3)
    XP = EXP awarded to player (4)


The problem with this seems to be the High Con Bonus; which is unreachable since the cap in 1999 is level 50... Does this mean the HCB only exist in later expansions?


Edit: Oh also found this:
Code:

    Total XP to complete a level = L^3 * C * R * H
Where:

    C = Class Multiplier
    R = Race Multiplier
    H = Hell Multiplier (based on level)
        Level        Multipler
        1-29        1.0
        30-34        1.1
        35-39        1.2
        40-44        1.3
        45-50        1.4
               
        Level        Multipler
        51        1.5
        52        1.6
        53        1.7
        54        1.9*
        55        2.0
        56        2.1
        57        2.2
        58        2.3
        59        2.5*
        60        2.6
        * - Double "hell" level


Note - The maximum XP that can be earned from a single mob is approximately 11%
 of the XP required to complete the level.



Anyone know if that's true too?

As much as I hate to say this, I remember when that group XP bonus modifier change went in... and I don't think it was during Classic.

I thought classic had a bonus only when you had a full group. I played from day one to 3 years and thought it was, but it's been so long...

Yup, ran some non-group numbers based off O those formulas and I can conclusively say that one or both of those must be false :/.

Anyone have any idea what the currently used formulas are?
