Oldie but quickie: What the XP formula?

[Wulf Ratbane]

You know... the formula for determining how many xp are required to achieve the next level?

[Camarath]

Current level x1000

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

Current level x1000

Not quite.

 

[pogre]

Not quite.

nevermind - I cannot remember either

 

[James McMurray]

Not quite.

1000 x sum(n-1) where n is your current level.

1 -> 2: 1000 x sum(1) = 1000
2 -> 3: 1000 x sum(2) = 3000
7 -> 8: 1000 x sum(7) = 28,000
etc.

If all you want is the experience between levels, then Camaranth's formula works just fine.

edit: sum(x) = x + (x-1) + (x-2) + (x-3) + ... + (x-x+1)
i.e. sum(7) = 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 28

I'm pretty sure that if N is your current level, you need

1000*[N*(N+1)]/2 experience points

[Creamsteak]

Or I think you could simplify that further to

(N*(N+1))*500

 

[Camarath]

If all you want is the experience between levels, then Camaranth's formula works just fine.

That is what I thought he was asking.

 

[Darkness]

That is what I thought he was asking.

It was easy to take it that way...

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

My bad, Camarath. Sorry about that!

Thanks for the help, folks!
