1. Experience
All characters receive experience during the game. Experience
determines your level, which determines hit points, mana points,
spells, abilities, etc. The amount of experience required to
advance a level is a base value (shown below) plus a penalty
for race and class.
1.1 Calculating Experience Levels
Base Experience
Lv Exp to Adv Lv Exp to Adv Lv Exp to Adv
1 10 14 1,400 27 35,000
2 25 15 1,800 28 50,000
3 45 16 2,300 29 75,000
4 70 17 2,900 30 100,000
5 100 18 3,600 31 150,000
6 140 19 4,400 32 200,000
7 200 20 5,400 33 300,000
8 280 21 6,800 34 400,000
9 380 22 8,400 35 500,000
10 500 23 10,200 36 750,000
11 650 24 12,500 37 1,500,000
12 850 25 17,500 38 2,500,000
13 1,100 26 25,000 39 5,000,000
Maximum level is 40 and maximum experience is 9,999,999
There are percent penalties for various races and classes to
help even them out. The table below lists all the penalties.
Human 0% Warrior 0%
Half-Elf 10% Mage 30%
Elf 20% Priest 20%
Halfling 10% Rogue 0%
Gnome 25% Ranger 40%
Dwarf 20% Paladin 35%
Half-Orc 10%
Half-Troll 20%
For example: For a 10'th level Gnomish Mage to achieve 11'th level
needs:
500 * 1.25 * 1.30 = 812.5
(base) (gnome) (mage)
Note: Even for the worst case (Gnomish Ranger) it is still possible
to achieve the 40th level. (5,000,000*1.25*1.40=8,750,000 experience)
The program internally keeps experience out to the fourth decimal place
even though it only displays the integer portion on the screen.
1.2 Getting Experience
There are many ways to gain experience. This list shows a few.
1. Defeating monsters
2. Disarming traps
3. Picking locks
4. Using a scroll, potion, staff, wand, or rod for the first time
and discovering what it did.
5. Casting a spell successfully for the first time.
6. Drinking a potion of gain experience or gain level
1.3 Titles

and class. Below is a listing of all the titles for each level and
