How combat works

The exact maths the game runs, pulled straight from its source — so the bestiary and gear numbers add up.

Mob stats by level

A mob's stats scale linearly from its template, per level L:

Health = round((hpBase + hpPerLevel·(L−1)) × eliteMult)
Damage = (dmgBase + dmgPerLevel·(L−1)) × eliteMult   (swing 0.8×–1.25×)
Armor  = round(armorPerLevel·(L−1))

Elite mobs use a multiplier of 2.3× health and 1.5× damage (and double XP). Normal mobs are 1×.

Armor & physical mitigation

Armor reduces physical damage only (spells ignore it). Against an attacker of level L:

damage reduction = min(0.75, armor / (armor + 85·L + 400))

So mitigation is capped at 75%, and the same armor is worth less against higher-level attackers. This is the "% mitigation" shown in the bestiary.

Health from Stamina

Stamina on gear adds to your health pool: the first 20 points give +1 HP each, and every point beyond 20 gives +10 HP:

bonusHP = min(sta, 20) + max(0, sta − 20) × 10

Experience curve

XP needed to clear each level (level cap is 20):

Level	XP to next	Cumulative
1	400	400
2	900	1,300
3	1,400	2,700
4	2,100	4,800
5	2,800	7,600
6	3,600	11,200
7	4,500	15,700
8	5,400	21,100
9	6,500	27,600
10	7,600	35,200
11	8,800	44,000
12	10,100	54,100
13	11,400	65,500
14	12,900	78,400
15	14,400	92,800
16	16,000	108,800
17	17,700	126,500
18	19,400	145,900
19	21,300	167,200
20	23,200	190,400

Group XP

Killing in a party splits XP but adds a bonus that makes grouping efficient. Multiplier by party size:

Players	XP multiplier
1	1×
2	1×
3	1.166×
4	1.3×
5	1.43×

Party members must be within ~80 yards to share a kill's XP and credit.
