Some raw data to maybe give someone better with numbers a chance at figuring out how the XP ties into stats.

From yamum: i took a look at your post on Quadrant Delta-Delta-Delta Force. i believe it is poosible that the XP range could be avg stats to highest/main stat based on your results. i believe the range also to be sort of a personal XP cap.

This seems to jive with my gains, more or less. All of the numbers fit that range, but I think there might be some kind of variable, as I haven't broken 2000 yet. Cristiona

For what it is worth, I did about 50 turns in Delta-Delta-Delta and gained an average of about 550 XP. My stats are:

Lvl 66
Str 458 (416)
Int 682 (505)
Rfl 404 (384)

I will collect 40 observations in this same format when I get some time over the weekend and then we can try to build a regression model to tease out the logic. I would be helpful to have observations from more people though so if others could post 40 observations like Cristiona did that would be very helpful. Hodag

I asked Ryme, and all the bots should be the same, so we'll only need to record XP gains, not which robot gives which. Cristiona

I did a comparison between Delta-Delta and the Fiendish Pit. I started with the following stats:

Lvl 66
Str 458 (416)
Int 581 (505)
Rfl 404 (384)

and burned 50 turns off in each zone. What I found was:

Delta 30,537 points / 50 turns = 610.74 points average Pit 28,042 points / 50 turns = 560.84 points average

That is somewhat different from my earlier test where I only got 550 points in Delta. The only noticable difference was that my intelligence was lower (682 vs 581) but that would suggest the lower your stats, the higher your points! I will continue to collect some more data points and see what happens. I am not happy with the number of observations just yet.

In theory, the pit is running off level, not stats. The difference comes out with heavily skewed stats. Anyway, I've hit a new high: 2189 XP, with my highest stat being 2284. Highest -95... Also, re-reading, it's entirely possible that you were just within RNG swinging... especially since your pit gains were off from the expected average.

Anyway, I may have found the lower bound for the Delta. I managed to pull in 1469 XP when my average was also 1469. I haven't managed lower than that, so our range may be (average buffed stats) - ((highest buffed stat)-95(±?))

Of course, that doesn't jive with your 610 average for the Delta... did you have any +XP effects running? Cristiona
