Thread: Where does the extra xp per pulse come from?

  1. #1

    Default Where does the extra xp per pulse come from?

    I never quite understood the exact mechanics of this.

    Let's say for the sake of this example your experience pool is 1020 and your base average on node absorption rate is 34 xp per pulse. I know it's not constant because it starts off higher and then tapers off as your xp pool gets depleted, so I'm using an average of 34 just to make this simpler.

    1020 / 34 = 30 pulses, is how long it would take for you exactly to absorb your xp pool.

    Now, let's put +40 logic enhancives on you, move you to a super node, and put you in a group with another player. That's another +6 xp per pulse that you would now be getting, for a new average absorption rate of 40 xp per pulse.

    So here's my question, where does that +6 xp come from, does it just deplete your experience pool faster, or is that free xp that you are getting on top of your normal absorption rate?

    Do you still absorb 1020 xp but just do it in 25.5 pulses (1020/40) or do you still absorb it in 30 pulses but get 6 * 30 = 180 free xp on top?

    Long term experience also ticks down. I believe it's an additional 3 per pulse.

    I'm discounting long term xp for this. I also know it starts off with extra 1 xp per each 200 absorbed, etc.

    Hmm. I think there's an extra 1 for being open handed. Can't think of anything else that might be swinging it. I can't get to the wiki with my VPN down to check the list.

    LTE is 1 per 10 normal exp absorbed, not 200...

    edit: and for the actual question, AFAIK all exp is coming out of your pool. You just absorb it faster, you don't get "bonus" exp outside of your field bucket for having higher stats, grouped, etc. just drains faster.

    I think the way this works is that you absorb faster, you don't get additional experience. So when adding +40 logic, super-node and grouped to your previous example, your mind would clear in 1020/40, or 26 (rounded up from 25.5) pulses.
