Dinosaur XP breakdown by level
So we all know that after you tame a dinosaur it takes 10xp to go up a level, 30xp for the next and 60xp one after.

My question, does anyone know if there is a formula for the subsequent levels? Is this published anywhere? I've been trying to find the information the past few days but have hit a wall.

Seems to be a simple algorithm. 0 to 1 is +10, 1 to 2 is +20, 2 to 3 is +30, etc.

Aha! OK thanks. Sometimes it just takes asking a question to have it make sense. Thanks dude.

The next levels have, in fact, followed that pattern.

10
30
60
100
150
210

We'll see if that persists.

Darn. It appears the pattern changes after a certain point. A tame I have which has gained around 44/45 levels is at strange number, 12985. Which by the formula should be 10360. Hmm... more science to be done!

Basically the +10 more exp needed per level works till somewhere around the 40's. I recently researched this to create similar levels, but also allow for up to 100 levels gained on my server. Basically other than the first few levels, total experience is identical (level 9 and after) to a persons total experience needed (ie. person needs 4350 experience for level 30, dino needs 4350 experience for level 30). Around the 40''s the exp required per level went up drastically, similar to levels 61+ for a person.

On my server I balanced these out and capped the experience required for each level for both person and dino at 1000. At higher levels, the stagnant gain per level gives you less and less return each level so i figured this was fair and would make the game less grindy.

Darn. Going to be hard to try and keep track of this all the way to 40.
