Experience required for Gaining Levels

Printer Friendly Version

Experience is earned in two ways, defeating enemies in combat and performing quests. The amount of experience earned is determined in the following manner:

Quests: Each party member receives the amount of experience designated for the quest. If the quest awards 1,000 experience each party member will advance 1,000 points.

Combat: Experience based on combat is a bit more complex. Each monster has a designated amount of experience that will be awarded upon its demise. This experience is multiplied by the number of enemies in the monster group and then divided by the number of members in your party. For example if you kill two "bugs" worth 500 experience points each the total experience will be 1,000 and is then split up equally for each party member. If you have a four person party, each will advance 250 points.

Some professions require more experience points per level than others. The more complex the character makeup, the more experience will be required for advancement. Specialists are those individuals who concentrate their training to a single artform. Hybrids combine traits from two or more Specialist professions. For example a Lord will be able to excel in combat skills and magical skills related to the Priest spellbook if developed properly. Elites are individuals who may combine the skills of three or more Specialists. For example a Ninja can excel in fighting, spellcasting, and thieving skills. Below is a chart of experience requirements for the various classes of Wizardry 8.

Specialists: Fighter, Rogue, Bard, Gadgeteer 
Specialist Casters: Priest, Mage, Psionic, Alchemist
Hybrids: Lord, Valkyrie, Ranger, Samurai, Monk 
Elites: Ninja, Bishop 

Each class begins the game at level 1 unless the party was imported from Wizardry 7, then they may advance as far as level 5.
