I had some fun this morning with trying to figure out the xp payout of mobs. I started with the simplest case: the first kill of the first healing mob out of the base, before 2:45 (since that's about the time we level up to 2). I found that there's a close relationship with the gold payout: the number of seconds it shaves off from the time needed to reach level 2 is . Further investigation could indicate how well this relationships holds in other situations where you gain gold and xp. I...

Haha! I'll take that as a compliment, but I (sadly) have no insider information. It's all my own number crunching, with the only inputs being the cost and stats of items, which is why we have to be careful in interpreting these results! (Thank you for those analyses of hp and energy regen btw!)

Just gonna copy a comment I made on your more complete guide, since it is specifically relevant here!... About the cost of each stat on items and the value (or cost, rather!) of passives and actives on items, here is what I found: For example, weapon power (wp) seems to cost about 19 per point. Tier 1 items have a "discount" of about 70 gold, tier 3 items cost on average 338 more gold than what their stats are worth. (One tier has to be the baseline, I found it logical to...

Hey, made an account just to comment on your thread, love your work! Also some ideas about xp calculations: A simple formula for the xp to the next lvl that approximates very well your observations, would be xp(lvl) = 132.6 + 15.6 * lvl . This also makes me wonder whether a few of your observations might be off by 1 second, since they do not fit in the trend by about that amount (lvl 5 might be 1 more second, that is 226, and 6 and 11 might actually be 1 second below). And I've got ideas...
