Grimrock

Funny how these xp threads keep popping up. For a detail explanation on how the system works is in this post I wrote up awhile back. The exp system is more flawed then you would actually imagine. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1197

The manual is incorrect. The exp system is flawed and the game doesn't reward the proper amount of exp to character that does dmg but rather to the slot if you want to read about how that works.

After killing the undying one and trying to figure out what to do next i went back to floor 13 and used the teleporter to floor 12 and the game crashes with a bunch of lua errors. assets/dungeons/grimrock/level13.lua:0: attempt to index a nil value stack traceback: assets/dungeons/grimrock/level13.l...

I just killed the undying one on the prison level but I can't figure out what to do next. Killing all the monsters didn't seem to help since they kept coming. Taking the teleporter to The Tomb didn't open up anything. Dropping back down to The Cemetery didn't open up anything also. While trying to t...

Alright i made this post originally in the general discussion forum but i'm making another here. The game uses a very odd way of gaining experience that's not quite easy to understand. The manual is actually currently incorrect about telling you how to get full experience from killing a mob. So here...

Shameless bump but also about how to deal with the pack of four mobs and what it does for your experience for your group. It also tells how to maximize your exp against them. The first post is a long read but if you want to maximize your experience good read though.

Updated my first post with all the information and explanation of how the experience system works. It should be a lot easier to read instead of trying to read all my other post in this thread.

May I ask why you're moving your characters around in the slots mid-battle? It's an interesting observation re damage, but I haven't had occasion to move characters around to experience the impact of your observation. I was moving characters to do that test on the first mob to figure out how experi...

Alright I just tested it out. So it doesn't matter what character does dmg at all. The only thing that matters for experience in the game is as long as that slot does dmg. If you have front slot that does no dmg they will not get experience even if they did dmg from the back row then moved up to tha...

The thing is I made my mage who was in the fourth slot do dmg actual dmg not just a miss and put back to the fourth slot in the back row and still only got half the experience. While the rogue who did no dmg and was in the front row in the second slot got full experience even though i did 0 dmg to t...
