Dont use shared Exp

[NewGame+]

its not worth it i got 550 exp from 1 kill with it off and only 90 with it on. i know haveing companions not in your party level up is nice but the numbers are so low its just not worth it.

550 / 6 = 91.6666...

Same total exp. The only reason I could see not wanting to share xp is if you want to focus on leveling a specific character.

i meant 550exp for each active party member vs 90exp for all

I tested this out last night killing some elk with my 6 man custom party, and the regular peeps benched back at Oleg's.

I got 9xp for killing the first elk with shared xp on.

Got 54x for killing the second elk with shared xp off.

However 54xp / 6 = 9xp AND checking the character sheets showed in party members gains 9xp both times.

So xp rates seem correct, but reporting seems a little funky.

So, turn xp share off, and share skill use xp off, then focus your MC on trickery and have just them disable all locks traps.

Does this count as an exploit?

ya just had a closer look at it. it gives you a biger number with it off but still divides it the same. but if your running a smaller party you do get more exp with it off as its just dividing to the 3 or 4 party members.

You do get more xp with it off though.

I managed to hit level 2 on a new group straight out of the intro (As in before hitting the wolf ambush).
Something that hasn't happened with the numerous other groups I've tried while trying to work out what I wanted to play.

Aha, I just started the tutorial and played around with it. My MC has a HUGE jump already, Tarty and Linzi each have close to the same amount, and Jaethal who just joined has zero.

Sp, what I THINK happens is that xp share, well it shares the xp between ALL potential party memebers, even if they have not joined yet.

Does that mean future companions that will join will be underleveled? or just the same level you would have picked them up originally but you are ahead of them.

i think it means there going to be under leveled but when you do pick them up they will level faster. btw dont dont turn it off if your going to be running a 6 man party you get the same exp ether way when you have 6 in the party

[Akogooth]

they will be underleveled.

Because it gives you more XP if you play smaller party. However if you want to run 6 chars, it gives you exactly same xp.
