40d Talk:Experience

Until experience points have been re-verified, this page should be marked as having been copied from the old Wiki. I don't know how to do that and am too tired to research it right now.

I will add that I intend to re-verify experience fairly soon. —0x517A5D 02:52, 14 November 2007 (EST)

Since I had a pile of Adamantine around, I decided to do the Extraction experiment. It took a dwarf who had never extracted adamantine before 17 iterations to reach novice. That makes it more than 29 and at most 32 xp per action. I expect that it's a 30xp task, like so many others. Doctorlucky 05:07, 14 November 2007 (EST)

I've now taken the dwarf to named level (Strand Extractor) with exactly 37 tasks, so it's 30xp. Doctorlucky 18:14, 14 November 2007 (EST)

Heh. On the Real Wiki, it's right about now that you'd be shot down for doing primary research! Runspotrun 14:17, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Then we're the exact opposite of them: primary research is 99% of what we post. (The rest being essentially divine scripture--verifiably from the creator of the subject of our wiki.) --Alfador 12:21, 6 February 2008 (EST)

"...but 27% of the time when Legendary+5, based off of a random d20 roll."

27% on a d20? You mean like rolling a 5.4 and below? I'm curious how one can roll higher than a 5 and lower than a 6 on an integer-numbered die.--Draco18s 17:41, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Rather easy when you consider that more than one test should be done and 27% ends up being the average. Odds are that if the game actually uses a d20 roll, then the programmed average is 25% with 2% margin of error in the experiment, well within acceptable margin. --Edward 18:20, 1 February 2008 (EST)

It is not calculated from a d20 roll. It is calculated from rolls of a d5, d10, d15, d20, d25, and potentially a d3. And a quite complicated formula. At least it was back in the 2D version. Gory details in the archive.

Mining and legendary +1,+2, ect.

Do miners get any bonus for reaching legendary +1-5? --Heliopios 14:55, 1 December 2007 (EST)

a legendary+5 will be faster than a legendary, but I don't know if that is just because of the 5 stat bumps that all classes get for moving from legendary to legendary+5. I may look into it, but no promises.

whats the experience gain for a pump operator? this would be interesting to see. Also, how long does a single pump operation take?
