Experience from healing

[DoctorUnne]

Is it listed anywhere how much experience is earned for transfering different kinds of wounds?

[phantasm]

No where that I could find, sorry.

[DoctorUnne]

I got 140 for taking three minors. Does it scale at that rate for more wounds and more severe wounds? If it does, damn empaths have the easy life.

Rank 1 wounds are as listed, rank 2 are double, rank 3 are triple:

abdomen - 30
back - 20
chest - 40
eye - 70
head - 80
limb - 50
nerve - 60
health - 1 per point transferred

These values are exact. However, you get 5% less for each 100 experience already in your bucket (waiting to be absorbed). I do not know if this is true for any other kind of experience - I suspect it is for most.

Hence, if you were belled and transferred one limb minor, one chest minor, and another limb minor, you would garner 1.00 * 50 + 1.00 * 40 + 1.00 * 50 = 140 experience. If, however, you were belled and transferred one limb minor, another limb minor, and one chest minor (before the pulse), you would garner 1.00 * 50 + 1.00 * 50 + .95 * 40 = 138 experience.

Finally, TRANSFER ANY allegedly penalizes experience gains from transference. I don't know anyone who bothers with it, so I've never tested it to see precisely how large the penalty is, if one exists at all.

One thing with the TRANSFER ANY: I think there is no penalty up to a certain level, to help new Empaths learn their limits with healing. When I started Traiva, I used TRANSFER ANY a ton (I know it saved her from dying more than once), until I hit the wall where she got a 50% penalty from using it. This might be around level 20 or so.

The plus about TRANSFER ANY: it won't let you die, since it won't let you transfer more hp than you have.

The bad things about TRANSFER ANY:
1) It's slow--there's a 3 sec RT for using it
2) As mentioned above, eventually you do hit the point where you get an exp penalty for using it

I've played an empath for almost 10 years and never knew/used transfer any... heh.

[DoctorUnne]

Thanks for the info Latrin.

Good lord why didn't I roll up a pocket empath sooner. I can probably cap it just from healing my main's injuries.

[Farn]

Hah. I tried to get the wife to use Transfer Any a few times, but she wanted to learn healing the 'real way.' She died a few times, but I'm betting she learned a lot faster because of it.

Not that I had much right to tell her which way to heal, as I've never managed to get an empath past about level 5ish. I just didn't want her to die.

I will say that by the time TRANS ANY is worthless, a properly trained healer should have no hard RT for curing blood loss...so getting into the habit of doing:
>trans JoeSchmoe
>cure (shortcut to invoking 1101)

...shouldn't be hard.
