Has anyone calculated XP available in different Acts?

[emreyigit1967]

I ask because every single encounter in Act 3 - not that it is in the slightest bit bugged, oh no - seems to drop more XP than Act 1 in total. (OK, slight exaggeration, maybe.)

[Is This Your Card? 69]

You say every encounter in Act 3 gives more exp than Act 1 in total.
But you do realize you require MORE and MORE exp to level up the higher level you are, right?

[1337_h4x0r_xXx_deathlord666_xXx]

Level 1->2 requires 300xp
level 11->12 requires 15000xp
So no ♥♥♥♥, act3 stuff gives a lot more xp then earlier levels....
The whole of act 1, you get around level 6 and a half probably....that sums up to between 14000 and 23000 xp.
So the total xp available in the whole of act 1 would just give you a little more xp then you need to get from 11 to 12.
level 12 requires in total 10000xp

All of that assuming they stick to the official levelling tables, I didn't doublecheck that.

I didn't realise that asking about how much more XP Act 3 dropped meant the same as asking "why does Act 3 drop more XP", but thank you both.

I am still interested in the original question: Has anyone calculated XP available in different Acts?

Well then maybe phrase it better?
Because from what I understood you were asking why every single encounter in act 3 drops more xp than in act 1.

Usually cleaning everything I can get just about lvl 7.2 by scouring act 1 completely.

Will be level 10 by the time of the Mindflayer colony by scouring act 2 completely.

If you do all of Act 1:

• Nautiloid Crashsite
  
• Underdark
  
• Grymforge
  
• Mountain Pass

You should be around level 7 and a half

Act 2 should take you to 10 and a half

You should hit 12 about a quest or two into the lower city of BG in Act 3. But yeah there's a ton of XP there. The game stopped keeping track when I was more than 100000 XP over the cap, but I've heard of people playing with the cap remover getting to level 16.

I think, the Flaming Fist groups around the city respawn (or there are just too many of them), so it might be infinite in Act 3.

The rest seem to have a fixed number of foes, but calculating the exact XP gains would be challenging due other sources (e.g. Inspirations and skill checks).

Wouldn't be too hard.

I get to Lvl 10 just before Ketheric fight.

End of act 1: level 7.5
End of act 2: level 10.5
End of act 3: level 17, if using a mod to progress beyond 12

Hmm, seems I've not been very efficient with my act 1 experience gathering so far.
But from those numbers, and assuming they use the official levelling curve we can assume the following aproximates:
End of act 1: ~28500 total xp/~28500 xp in act1 alone total
End of act 2: ~74500 total xp/~46000 xp in act 2 alone total
End of act 3: ~225000 total xp/~150500 xp in act 3 alone total

[Zaris]

I noted my lvls in my last playthrough and came out with these numbers:
- act1 overworld: 1-5
- underdark: 5.9 (6 right at start of Grimforge)
- grimforge 6.5
- mountainpass / monastery 7-8 (can't remember exactly)
- act 2 after killing Ketheric: 10.0 (maybe a tad more possible if you kill the moonrise tower guards before Nightsong)
- Wyrms Crossing 11.5
- Lower City: 12 (quite fast after a few quests, enemies here give massive amounts of xp)
- endboss: 100k xp bar filled up (enough for lvl1-12 again)

[emreyigit1967]

Thank you guys. Time to multiclass with a mod. :)

[nod for kiss]

i believe i did %95 of the things in act1 and i was lvl7 before entering shadowlands, i completed every possible quest on act2 and i reached level 10 before arriving baldurs gate

[hannibal_pjv]

About douple more than you need… that is my estimation.

The dbl xp mod helps a lot.
