Experience Rewards Table

These are the base experience reward values for each rank and level of critter. Some critters have a Reward Scale multiplier that increases or decreases the amount of XP rewarded depending upon the difficulty of the critter.

Experience Distribution and Team Bonuses

The experience that a character gets while on a team is affected by the team's size and by their level relative to the enemies. Larger teams get a higher XP multiplier, but the rewards also get split more ways. Players on teams will receive less XP per critter, but the increased number of mobs and speed of defeats usually results in a greater total amount of XP by the end of the mission. A character who is sidekicked, and hence one level below that of the team leader, will receive slightly different rewards.

Mission completion experience is affected only by the character's level relative to the mission's. The full amount is awarded to each team member individually, with no split or weighting.
