Hey all I've recently started playing again from a long hiatus (quit before even C1) and some of the exp numbers I've been seeing have been confusing me.
Back when I played all the mobs gave the same xp and double hp mobs gave double xp.
From what I've gathered though now there is also some sort of 30% bonus for fighting in a field?
Also I heard someone offhandedly mention that mobs with special attacks or what not sometimes have a bonus too.
What's really been confusing me though is that in several places now I've fought different types of zombies (execution grounds, ruins of despair etc) and these zombies seem to have pretty crappy hp but they are giving what looks like double xp. Anyone able to explain this? Is it several bonuses stacking up from something?
Also are there any area's with low lvl 3x/4x mobs? (Im 26 currently).
Any help is appreciated even if you can only answer a little bit of all of this. I'd really like to get it solved so I can decide where to do my xping.
Yes, mobs of different qualities offer different amounts of exp and SP. These include field mobs, archer mobs, stunning mobs, high resistance mobs, mobs that cast magic, group mobs, etc etc. Although I don't think the bonus is as extreeme as 30%.
Also, the Necropolis of Sacrifice, located in the southern areas of the wastelands, has all 4x HP mobs. This hunting are is ment for groups--- rarely will you see one solo there without an overenchanted weapon or buffbot.

Is there any kind of list or what not to calculate how all the bonuses stack up? I've found plenty of monster lists out there but they only seem to list XP before bonuses (ie the old values before bonuses were implemented).
I'm not sure they have exact #s anywhere, although a guide to what type of mobs provide better exp is available somewhere on this forum, I believe MalineII has a list (or at least her summary, which I subconsciously use whenver I go hunting :)).
I suspect the reason that exact %s and #s for bonuses don't exist because some of these bonuses are relative to each other-- some archers provide only a lil' more exp, while others provide a ton. I understand that they could have different qualities but it would take a quite a bit of time to calculate the bonus exactly.
