Monster Experience and Levelling System

Monsters range in level from 1 to 100. The number of experience points (XP) a monster has determines its level. Monsters primarily gain XP through battling other monsters, though other methods may exist.

Current Implementation of Experience Points and Levelling

• When an enemy monster is eliminated, all player monsters that dealt any damage to it receive an equal portion of:

 * (Total XP / Enemy Level) — equivalent to Enemy Level²

• A monster levels up when its total XP meets or exceeds:

 * (Current Level × Experience Required Modifier)³
 * The Experience Required Modifier is currently hard-coded to 1 for all monsters.

• Monsters may increase multiple levels at once if enough XP is gained.
• Monsters do not gain XP once they reach the maximum level (100).
• Levelling up occurs immediately; morphing occurs after the battle if the player wins.

Experience Multipliers

XP gained is adjusted based on the monster's origin:

Origin	Multiplier
Captured	×1.0
Traded	×1.5
Bred	×1.2
Gifted	×1.2
Purchased	×0.9
Rescued	×1.3
Created	×1.0

Sharing Experience Points

There are items that affect how XP is distributed:

• XP Transmitter: If in the player’s possession, half of the XP goes to participating monsters, and half to non-participating monsters.
• XP Feeder: Given to a specific monster. Half of the XP goes to participating monsters, and half to the designated monster (which may double-dip if it participated).

• Tea
