[quote="JACKELPUP"][b]Gain Comparisons[/b] (All done on a level 87 Character within the same level) Weapon used : Stinger (untagged) [b]Dexterity Gain 0.1[/b] 168 Drazil (6.05% Experience) 245 Hoarde Shanis (6.52% Experience) 174 Beast Lord Guardians (6.56% Experience) 168 Elite Lizardmen (6.72% Experience) [b]Strength Gain 0.1[/b] 185 Drazil (6.66% Experience) 270 Hoarde Shanis (7.16% Experience) 192 Beast Lord Guardians (7.30% Experience) 185 Elite Lizardmen (7.43% Experience) [b]Notes[/b] All of the above occurred while Humans owned Conti and may be affected by Conti bonus. Although the Experience gains are all somewhat similar, the amount of “kills” varies significantly. You may decide that the extra time (and durability damage) may not be worth the small benefit (or you may decide it is). These stats are based on a “Bow” and the (gearing) ratios may well be different for other weapon types. The same may be true for different level characters as well as different level of existing stats (higher/lower Strength/Dexterity ratios etc) ....All just for fun ! 8) Jac [/quote]

[quote="GINGESTRO"]Thanks for taking the time to do this, it's a great insight to the reality of stats gains. I've always found the notion of keeping under a mobs str completely false in reality at whatever stage of huntin and this goes a long way to proving this. [/quote]

[quote="MAGICALAPE"]I posted this in one of the other threads but il post it here aswell: [quote=]You are definitely getting some odd gains here, i did alot of testing with how much % the top mobs would take at what str and which was most efficient % wise, and generally no matter what, blg give the best %, but at certain strs(when you hit the blg "Slowdowns") shanis, drazil and lizardmen would be equal % as blg.[/quote][/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]Magicalape, Yes, I am sure you are right.. Slowdowns will no doubt have an effect and the gap between strength and dexterity probably does AND there are probably other factors hiding away in there somewhere. 8) Jac[/quote]

[quote="MONOLITH"]I find it interesting that ELM have more exp gain than Drazils. Would never had guessed that.[/quote]

[quote="OCD"]Can not see how drazil gave you better gains than blg[/quote]

[quote="_JR_"]Which map was the blgs hunted on? If it was vod, Wonder if the 10% bonus is only to conti map and whether blg conti wpuld be a different outcome! [/quote]

[quote="MAGICALAPE"][quote="_JR_"]Which map was the blgs hunted on? If it was vod, Wonder if the 10% bonus is only to conti map and whether blg conti wpuld be a different outcome! [/quote] The conti bonus affects all maps and it is purely a 10% faster exp gain, you still gain stats in the same % [/quote]

[quote="BRAINDATA"]Mobs have a hidden stat, I can't remember the name off the top of my head but Dan has said a few times I effects gains. Someone else should try blg vs draz to verify .. I too am very surprised by jacs findings [/quote]

[quote="SANDOKAN"]hidden stat lol ... and you wonder why soma is hard for new players to learn :)[/quote]

[quote="BRAINDATA"]The dev nerd in me couldn't resist but get the ode db up and running and have a look [img]http://i.imgur.com/wp2xcD7.png[/img][/quote]

[quote="BRAINDATA"]Dan can you confirm which values the -50,-30 etc slows downs are based on? Is it the calculated Str/int we see in the armoury or the raw sStr / wStr db values (column names from memory now)[/quote]
