Holy Symbol in MapleLegends

In a party of 1, holy symbol (when maxed) will give you 10% extra exp.

In a party of 2 or more, it will give you 50% extra exp.

The skill description is misleading.

 

That's different that's leecher getter an X percentage of the kill depending on the damage done and level difference it is multiplied by hs bonus (50/10%). I.E. 2 person yields more exp than 1 person always.

5 levels within character is reserved for the leeching character not being within 5 levels difference (lower bracket) of mob/attacker. And the it's the attacker that has to be within 5 lvls of leechee
HS bonus always applies.

 

Edit: Found an old detailed hiddenstreet forum thread that is probably also true in Legends, https://www.hidden-street.net/forum/threads/25342-Party-Experience-Distribution except we use a 60/40 split instead of a 80/20 split.

 

There is no 60/40 rule or 80/20 rule. This is how exp is calculated for most general circumstances:

For the leech:

Base monster exp x (.8 x (your level)/(Total level of all members of the party)) x 1.5 if Holy Symbol is used + bonuses

For the person killing monsters:

Base monster exp x (.2 + .8 x (your level)/(Total level of all members of the party)) x 1.5 if Holy Symbol is used + bonuses

Bonus exp for parties:
Party of 2: 10% / 3: 15% / 4: 20% / 5: 25% / 6: 30%

 

In order to leech exp from your party members, you must satisfy one of the following conditions
1) (monster level minus your level) less than or equal to 5
2) (attacker level minus your level) less than or equal to 5

Back to your question. If you kill a monster, but your party member don't receive any exp, it is as if you are not in a party, so you receive only 10% bonus exp

 

This is different from the formula I used to get my results.

Below is what a leecher gets:

[Monster EXP * EXP Rate * (1.1 + 0.05 * N)/ (N + 1) ] * (leecher level/average party level) * HS bonus

Below is what the attacker gets (assuming no1 else damaged the monster):

2 * [Monster EXP * EXP Rate * (1.1 + 0.05 * N)/ (N + 1) ] * HS bonus

Where N is number of party members that can leech exp.

This roughly corresponds to a 80/40 rule.

Where in a party of 2, the attacker gets 80% of base exp (when in solo party), and a leecher of the same level (no exp penalty) would get 40% of the base exp (as if they killed a monster by themself solo party).

With HS and a party of two that turns into 120 / 60.

As you add more party members each person gets less exp, but the total exp goes up. However, it looks like the leechers always seem to get half of what the attacker gets (barring any level penalties).

 

Maybe AyumiLove is wrong then. Time to trash the leech guide even more in that case

 

What about 2 people attacking in the party with HS? Is the person who "Whites" the attacker and the person who "Yellows" the leecher?
