Theoretical Moster EXP values?

[grapplethetroll]

Since some stats have been coming out I've taken down notes regarding the confirmed EXP values of standard creatures of varying levels. I've noticed a pattern and believe this to represent, at least closely, what EXP values are for monsters.

For reference, we've seen posted here on these forums that levels 1-5 are 25 exp apart, starting at 100 for level 1. AICN articles have confirmed levels 5, 7, and 9 (200xp, 300xp, and 400xp respectively) and other monster postings have confirmed levels 14, 16, and 18.

There's a pattern of xp values increasing in increments that double every 4 levels. If this pattern continues throughout the entire xp value chart for monsters then the following SHOULD be correct if I'm working this out correctly. Any confirmation would be awesome for my own edification:

1 -100 (Kobold Skirmisher, Human Bandit, Human Guard, Kobold Slinger)
2 - 125 (Kobold Dragon Shield, Human Bandit)
3 - 150 (Human Soldier, Hobgoblin Warcaster, Human Berserker, Hobgoblin Soldier, Hobgoblin Archer, Skeleton Warrior, Kobold Wyrmpriest)
4 - 175 (Human Mage, Cavern Choker)
5 - 200 (Blazing Skeleton, Boneshard Skeleton, AICN Article)
6 - 250 (Shadar-kai Chainfighter)
7 - 300 (AICN Article)
8 - 350
9 - 400 (AICN Article)
10 - 500 (Chuul)
11 - 600
12 - 700 (Feygrove Choker)
13 - 800
14 - 1,000 (Boneclaw)
15 - 1,200
16 - 1,400 (Bodak Skulk)
17 - 1,600
18 - 2,000 (Bodak Reaver)
19 - 2,400
20 - 2,800
21 - 3,200
22 - 4,000
23 - 4,800
24 - 5,600
25 - 6,400
26 - 8,000
27 - 9,600
28 - 11,200
29 - 12,800
30 - 16,000
OTHERS - (Level 1 Kobold Minion - 25xp, Level 4 SOLO Young Black Dragon - 875xp, Level 23 ELITE Chuul Juggernaut - 10,700, Level 26 ELITE Pit Fiend - 18,000xp)

This is 100% absolute presumption on my part based on what little has been confirmed by people posting from Experience. It also appears as if minions are 1/4 the regular value for their level (i.e. level 1 minion is 25xp) and SOLO creatures are the level value*5 (i.e. level 4 dragon is 875xp). This dragon stat presumes my above guess is correct.

Elites seem to break my numbers, so either I'm definitely off or there's either some other equation they follow or their XP values are random.

My brain hurts.

Above has been edited to list monsters whose XP values have been confirmed via message board postings. They seem to fit nicely into my XP value theories so far, with the exception of Elites.

Well, Solo monsters are 5 times the normal XP for that level. The black dragon, for instance, is 5 * 175. This, I believe, has been confirmed.

Two Elites, then, might be equal to somewhere between 2 and 2.5 times the normal XP.

It works perfectly for the Pit Fiend: 18000 / 8000 = 2.25

Testing that on the Chuul Juggernaut: 4800 * 2.25 = 10800. Not perfect, but close.

The only way I can figure out to get the Juggernaut to be an elegant multiple between 2 and 2.5 is for Elites to be exactly 2 *5350 at level 23. That would mean Level 23 would have to be 5350. But I can't figure out any way for that to work elegantly and still arrive at exactly 2 * 9000 at level 26 for Pit Fiends.

So I figure 2.25 is the right number, and there's either some rounding going on to get 10700 instead of 10800, or else it's a typo too insignificant for anyone to have noticed.
