How does Animus Mastery affect experience gain exactly?

Question

How does Animus Mastery affect total experience gain, considering stamina bonus, experience prey bonus, XP boosts, and bonuses due to experience events?

Answer 1

The formula is:

base_exp × stamina × animus × (base + event + prey + boost)

The important things to know are:

• base exp, stamina bonus, and Animus Mastery are multiplicative
• prey, boost, and bonuses due to exp events are additive and go inside the brackets

Here are some examples, assuming a creature yielding 1000 base experience points.

On green stamina, boost, and exp prey with 2% Animus Mastery bonus when there’s no exp event:

1000 * 1.50  * 1.02   * (1.00 + 0.00  + 0.40  + 0.50) = 2907

exp    green   animus    base   event   prey    boost

On green stamina, boost, and exp prey with 2% Animus Mastery bonus when there’s a +50% exp event:

1000 * 1.50  * 1.02   * (1.00 + 0.50  + 0.40  + 0.50) = 3672

exp    green   animus    base   event  prey   boost

On green stamina, boost, and exp prey with 2% Animus Mastery bonus when there’s a Double Exp event:

1000 * 1.50  * 1.02   * (1.00 + 1.00  + 0.40  + 0.50) = 4437

exp    green   animus    base   event   prey    boost

Great answer. However, in your last example, doesn’t it have to show the number “2” somewhere?

---

It does, in the "1.02".

---

Strange… in your example right before the last one, there’s also the “1.02” and there is no double exp event

The labels below each formula make it clear what each part refers to. The 1.02 (or +2%) refers to animus mastery. The + 1.00 is what represents a Double Exp event.
