Minecraft Username: AusRoona Brief Description: The jobs level experience scale is so excessive, the jobs prestiges are nearly unobtainable Observation: I set out to find the algorithm used to determine level xp to calculate time to achieve level 100 in a particular job. by my calculations to successfully complete mining to level 100 i would need to break a total of 47,419,500 blocks. If I broke 20,000 per hour, it would take a total grind time of 2,370.98 hours (592 days at 4 hours per day). Multiply this by 5 jobs for the first prestige it would take 8 years at 4 hours each and every day. Expected Result: An exp scaling that would make the first prestige at most a year of grinding, which would make the 3rd at least 4 years Evidence: I have chosen to withhold the algorithm and am happy to share privately
@ClarinetPhoenix will look into this once she launches additions to the Jobs packages on the store, which I believe will potentially alter the ability to get these, though I'm not sure exactly. Thank you for sharing your research.
I've have made some leveling curve changes in order to begin addressing this. We'll see how it goes. I will continue to monitor and adjust as needed.
Just to state this here because I didn't know this thread existed: I did suggest a suggestion for increased EXP since, for example, I mined a 200x200 mountain from Y:100+ down to 62 [Note: this is a separate mountain than the one I stated in the suggestion], and I only got one and a half level-ups in each mining job (of which, we can only submit one of the four for the prestige). My mining job levels were in the lower teens, like 13 or 14 or something. If the XP requirement for each level scales, it's still going to be a long haul for that first prestige. The XP booster we got in the buycraft features was def. a good step, but from my own field research, it might not be enough for anyone to get even the first prestige in under 5yrs with super intense grinding
I did some further calculations. Using the mining job as an example, to get from level 0-100 is the equivalent of going from mcmmo level 0-10,000 seven times. this of course is without any multipliers. I went from level 18-22 in jobs in the same time I went from 3,500-3,630 in mcmmo
