All right, that's more-or-less what I suspected, but I didn't realize it was almost literally a direct transition from XP -> essence.

Thanks!

Not almost, it is an exact literal transition. That's why new demigods are worth so little experience when killed or essence when offered. Their count has been reset to 1 and started over again, while a titan's experience/essence is something like 180 million.

It's not a 1:1 translation, though. You gain essence more slowly than you gain XP.

Reset as in back to my novice essence worth?! losewings.gif

I've noticed that if I kill something and then offer it to Maylea, she gets slightly less than I got, even after you account for harmony/human and the like. But the difference is small enough that it might just mean I miscalculated how harmony and human stack, or something. So for all practical purposes, you can consider the amount something's worth to offer is about the same it's worth to kill. However, there are a few exceptions: some things are worth more to kill than this would predict.

I think that influencing something and killing it get similar amounts of essence, but I've never done a really good test, since I generally don't kill the same beings I influence. So someone else can try that.

Mhmm. This is why Urazial is worth like 30 essence.
Razenth2010-06-01 18:52:55
Malarious killed me, Inagin, and Lorina, and got the same essence amount for each of us. Somewhere like 36666.
Unknown2010-06-01 18:59:17
Are you talking about personal essence gained by the killer or essence obtained by offering the corpse? (May be the same, not sure about player corpses.)
Razenth2010-06-01 18:59:44
Personal essence.

It's funny, almost everyone I ever kill that could be classed as extremely egotistical 'let me win' for some reason or another... chin.gif

What?

Preposterous. I don't believe that Sidd can be killed.

I finally get the resolve to work on my system a little more... and 5 minutes later a village goes up, for the first time since I've been back laugh.gif

EDIT: I need to remember that Estelbar and Delport are different...
Lillie2010-06-02 01:31:30
I get Delport and Stewartsville confused, since the mental images for them are more or less the same in my mind. ohmy.gif

Twit: Not blowing the revolt like I was afraid I would. It was fun!

Gotta say, I had no idea I'd be so happy that Haiden came back. wub.gif Also good to know he never actually hated my guts like I thought. XD
