How would I calculate the exp increase to reach 5000000000 at clvl 999?(ie. 500, 1500, 3750, 7875, 14175) How did Blizz come up with all those numbers? Is there a formula? ------------------ "Everything happens for a reason" Nicholas Troast

I believe the highest it can reach is 4294967295 due to the fact that a "long variable" can reach only that far. I believe that would be a dword FFFFFFFF which is equal to 4294967295.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

ok, but I dont want to spend all day typing in random exp numbers in the experience.txt all the way to 999. Is there a formula that would reach 4294967295 at clvl 999, so I can plug it into excel?------------------ "Everything happens for a reason" Nicholas Troast

And a reasonable formula, not like 4299266*x*=multiplication x=clvl 1-999 ------------------ "Everything happens for a reason" Nicholas Troast [This message has been edited by NTroast (edited 26 January 2002).]

In unmodded D2, the experience gap between levels increases by 1.09x the previous gap above L30. You can import experience.txt into Excel and compute the actual steps for all the levels.I modded my experience table to decrease this multiplier above level 76. By L90 or so, I have it down to 1.01x. Not only does that partially compensate the reduction in experience yield for high levels (without making leveling a cakewalk), but I got another twenty levels or so before reaching 4.2G  Nefarious wrote a tutorial for exp mods http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~phrozenkeep/ubb/Forum29/HTML/002760.html But I always get a program shudder if I try to exceed a DWORD value, could never get 5G to work.

Hold on Im having trouble figureing this out.clvl 32's exp is 7383752, so if what your saying is right 7383752*1.09 is 8048289.68 so that should be clvl 33's exp, but thats not even close. *=multipled by Do I need clarification? ------------------ "Everything happens for a reason" Nicholas Troast

The thing is when you say this and the person you were talking with sees it they dont look at this post anymore. Thats why sometimes people add new posts on the same topic. ------------------ "Everything happens for a reason" Nicholas Troast

The change from L31 to L32 is 985897. The change from L32 to L33 is 1074627. 1074627 = 1.09 * 985897. The rate of change of the difference between levels is constant above L30, that is what I was trying to say.

By using Nefarius's tutorial, and some calculations similar to Myhrginoc's ... I made a clvl 360 experience limit ... Why 360? A 360 creates a complete circle for your charactor ... Clvl 999? You can do that with the info you have ... you do have do a 'little' work on your own, though Why not '666'? ... seems more fitting for D2 lol------------------ "To dream a life, or to live a dream ... only through desire shall the sleeper awaken."
