Geneforge1 - is exploding pyroroamers not awarding experience points upon death by design?

[Gameluc]

Am in The tombs map and the map is rife with scurrying lil pyroroamers that made the chore of killing them a pita 😅. I’m level 8 btw and could it be that I’m too high a level to get exp awarded ?

You're probably too high a level right now.  Press the 't' key to bring up the text box.  It will tell you all sorts of good stuff including if you're too high a level to get any experience (or if you're missing hitting 'x', by how much % you're missing by (good info to know)).

Enemies stop giving exp when you're 6 levels above them. I believe the pyroroamers in the Tombs are level 2, so that would explain it.

Hmm if that’s because of being over leveled ,I’m surprised it’s come to that as there’s not too many areas one could explore that’s not filled with overpowering mobs in torment mode.it sounds as if I have to pretty much hit the tombs maps right after ellhrah’s keep , skipping majority of the northern areas first , in order to reap the exp in the Tombs.

 

@Mechalibur that explains it then , although lv 2 mob at that stage of quest progression is kinda Low 😑

the text box in my game doesn’t show info like I’m overlevelled iirc .where else does that info show up ?

[Mechalibur]

The text console will tell you how much xp you get when you kill something, but not the internal calculations for it. The amount of xp you get depends on the level difference between you and the creature you killed:

 

0 - 20xp
-1 - 14xp
-2 - 10xp
-3 - 4xp
-4 - 2xp
-5 - 1xp
-6 - 0xp
+1 - 22xp
+2 - 24xp
+3 - 26xp
+4 - 28xp
+5 - 30xp

I went there at level 6.

I don't think you get the "too high level" message every time. Maybe only the first time you fail to get XP for that type or level or area?

I've gotten there at level 7 to get 1 XP.
