Veteran & Expert EXP Test

A friend asked me to run an EXP test again for veterans and experts. This test was conducted using a solo character (i.e. one-character team) without any EXP buff (e.g. Combat Manual). The sGE family used is Lv.22+0, while SNW family used is Lv.24+0. Currently, SNW is v2.9, while sGE is v3.4. Of course, there may be hidden EXP factors which are not held constant, so this is more like an estimate than a precise, controlled experiment.

The following is the actual EXP amount gained from killing the specified monster by a Lv.1 Expert*. (Advancing from Lv.1 to Lv.2 Expert requires about 270m EXP.)

Monster	sGE EXP	SNW EXP
Escudo Prefer* (Lv.111)	4,257	4,257
Eligo (Lv.110)	12,555	12,555

The following is the actual EXP amount gained from killing the specified monster by a Lv.1 Veteran*. (Advancing from Lv.1 to Lv.2 Veteran requires about 140m EXP.)

Monster	sGE EXP	SNW EXP
Thief Leader* (Lv.99)	2,578	2,578
Bear Walker* (Lv.104)	4,456	4,456

As you can see, there is no difference in EXP gained between the 2 game editions for soloing a veteran or expert. So the difference will be mainly in the buffs available (100% Combat Manual, Home Premium Service, etc.).

Note (*): Lv.1 Veteran or Expert (v3.0) is essentially a Veteran or Expert with 0%-9.9999% EXP (v2.9). For a conversion table, see Veteran Levels. The monster names listed above are from sGE. The corresponding SNW names are Escudo Preffer, Villain, and Bear Worker.
