The road awaits
The mob level is fixed for the full expedition. As the party levels, its con and each member's XP cap change naturally.
Model assumptions: the encounter calculator above treats all selected members as your level; the Leveling Module uses each member's chosen level. Everyone is nearby and XP-eligible. Damage-share penalties, bolster, guild, outpost, LFG, frontier, and item bonuses are excluded. Current values use the live 0.8 XP rate, 10% per unique class, and existing group-size curve. Proposed values use a 1.0 XP rate, a 9% reduction per eligible grouped player, 5% per unique class, and a 20% solo bonus.
