Belt of the Sun, At level 1 it started at 50% exp

[Oldleaf]

Started to level my Belt of the Sun, From lvl 0 to 1 it started at 0% exp gained towards lvl 1, when it reached lvl 1 it started at 50% exp gained towards lvl2. Is this a bug or normal?

Displays exp from level 0 to next level. Rather than current level to next level.

Its fixed in 1.68, thank god, it's depressing how long 1% takes at lvl 9 atm

It's normal in this patch.

Think of it this way:
If it takes 100 xp to get the belt to the next level, then level 1 would take 100xp in total, level 2 will take 200xp in total etc.

If you reach level 1 you'll have 100xp on your belt.
To reach level 2 you'll need 200xp in total but since you already have 100xp from reaching level 1 you're halfway there so that's why the game displays it as 50%

you've almost got it there but not quite

Then explain it instead of being a smart arse

Basically, iirc, it takes exactly the same amount of xp for each artifact level. But Mythic weren't able to display that properly (if they did, it would start at 0 on each level - and they are fixing it next patch to do that) - the way their level code currently works is that it assumes each level will require more xp.


So they just altered the way the xp bar was displayed to account for those assumptions. ie. The level code assumes that achieving 1% of level 1 will take more xp than 1% of level 0. That's actually not true for artifacts, so when your artifact levels to 1, it will display itself as having 50% of level 1 xp. (At level 2, it will start at 67%, etc.) In practice 50% of level 1 xp on the current artifact xp bar is equivalent to 100% of level 0 xp.

ie. Don't worry about it. Your artifact needs precisely the same amount of xp per level.
