Mission Experience Data - A Guide

[Snakespeare]

Experience per energy doesn't matter. You need to calculate according to energy replenishment, which is 0.2 per minute (1 energy every 5 minutes).

Also, you cannot simply apply a xp/eng ratio and multiply it by the number of times you can play from 25/25 energy. That is only accurate till you burn down the meter (which is only really the first hour). You are not factoring in the replenishment rate of energy from a zero state. Once the energy is zeroed out you are only playing in regard to replenishment of energy. Example, a mission costing 8 energy can only be played once every 40 minutes, after the meter is zeroed out.

The Marshwood instants yields 55 xp and cost 9 energy. Although, they have a charge time of 45 minutes to play give the allowable time of play in a 24 hour period to be 32 -- yielding 1680 xp in a 24 hour cycle. However, the quests in the Redlight district Visit Lee's Flat and Sniff out Werewolves yield 40 xp and cost 6 energy, their refresh rate from a zero meter is 30 minutes and can be played 48 times in a 24 hour period. Thus yielding 1920 xp in a 24 hour period.

You cannot simply multiply the amount of plays from a 25/25 meter and multiply it by xp/eng, it will not remotely reflect a meter that is at it's running at a zero state. You have to account for the time it takes to for energy to replenish to re-replay the mission from a zero state, in accordance with the mission's cool down.

This isn't correct.

Actually, I am including energy replenishment. The calculations are simply to allow for sorting in the spreadsheet. By taking several actions in timed patterns, as Aculeas and morfic have already demonstrated, you can get better XP and not have to wake up every 45 minutes all night.

Really, saying you can do 36 45-minute actions in 24 hours isn't realistic. Maybe you can do 24 of them... and when you do go to sleep, be sure to do the 9-hour cycle.

Also, your two 6-point tasks takes 60 minutes to refresh the energy, so you can't do them that often either.

Your Marshwood instants, once every 45 minutes (or two every 90 minutes is better) yields 1440 in a 16 hour period. My system gets equal xp and I only have to go on when I want (waking, lunch break, coffee breaks, when i get home, and before bed.)

Your Redlight 6-pointers, once every 30 (or two every hour) yields 1280 in a 16 hour period, which is less than my system.

here again is my system... which was created to generate gold, actually...


9-hour: gallows 4&10, downtown 6&9, red-light 5 +1 run 212 xp /810 gp twice a day = 424 xp /1620 gp
2-hour: gallows 7, downtown 4, red-light 7&12 +1 run 138 xp /500 gp up to six times a day = 826 xp /3000 gp
24-hour: 2nd last action of Outskirts, Market Subway, Downtown, Redlight, and Marshwood for 225 xp / 875 gp.
