Just a question

Postby ALLRIGHT » Dec 2, 2003 (8:00 pm)

You leap from hiding with your rune-etched dagger drawn! Timing it perfectly, you twist it deep into the stone giant's back, puncturing vital organs with a powerful attack!
The giant slumps over dead at your feet.
You gain 95 experience.
[You are able to absorb 85 points into your training experience pool.]
[Roundtime: 10 seconds]

.....I'm just wondering what happens to the other experience, it isnt going onto the total, sometimes its more than 10 difference. And when I did that my pool was only at 40%.

I've noticed it starts evaporating in the 40-50% range and of course the % gets worse after that :( , but I've also noticed that under 10-15% I usually see a slight bonus the other way! :D

I understand that we don't absorb it, and I understand when we start to lose 60+ exp per kill, I'm just wondering where it goes...Do we absorb it later? Do we just lose it?

Your training experience pool is a measure of your mind's ability to learn from an experience (something that just happened). When something happens that you can learn from, you gain experience points from it. This is relfected by your training experience pool "filling up" some.

How much experience you can absorb out of an experience is dependant upon two things:

(1) how "full" your mind already is
(2) level, Wisdom, Intelligence

The emptier your mind is, the easier it is to learn from new experiences, however the fuller your mind is, the more you miss. You are simply too tired to really comprehend what's going on and you just don't benefit from the experience (sometimes at all).

If you get a message saying that you've gained 100 experience points (for example), but were only able to absorb 85 of it into your training experience pool, that means that you are 85% effective in learning from new experiences at the moment. You can continue to do what you're doing, but you stop learning from it after a while unless you relax and give your mind a chance to process the new information.

This resting/processing can be sped up with better Intelligence, giving you shorter breaks between experience-yielding activities.

Likewise, you can expand your mind's capacity to learn from new activities by increasing your Wisdom, which means you can engage in experience-yielding activities for longer with more Wisdom.

Any experience you can't absorb is lost. That activity has passed and your awareness/opportunity of what you could learn from the activity has suffered.

We are still watching this closely and may adjust things in your favor if we find that the learning process is taking away too much experience or that 'down times' are too long, even with decent mental ability score training.
