Time again to ask Mistrly another one of those questions we've always wanted to ask, and never bothered read the Lineage FAQ to find out :)

Mistryl,

Why is it that we appear to lose more experience when de-leveling on death?

The total amount of experience that you will lose is based on your current level upon death.

Let's say to get to Level X it takes 100 points, and then you hit Level Y. To get from Level Y to Level Z it takes 200 points.

As an example, if you die while you are Level Y, this causes you to lose 6% of the experience required for that level (in this case, 200). At Level Y and 30% experience, you would lose 12 experience points. Your new experience level after the death would be Level Y and 24% experience.

However, if you were at Level Y and 3% experience when you died, you would still lose 12 experience points. This would look like 3% experience in Level Y and 6% experience in Level X. This would mean that after your death, you would end up at Level X and 94% experience -- which would make it seem that you lost 9% experience rather than 6% experience.


So what you're saying is that

If you lost 6% at level Y.03%

Where Y = 200 exp points and X = 100 - you would lose 3% + 3*((X((Y-X)*(Y/X)))% omg that's confusing... basically it's 6% = a total of 9%
