Set party (also known as golden party) and general party XP bonus

[eduardosmaniotto]

The XP received when playing in a party is a random value and doesn't have the party bonuses.

According to the Webzen guides:

• The XP received shouldn't be random.
• Please refer to the table below for Additional EXP modified depending on the number of party members

Classification	2 Players	3 Players	4 Players	5 Players
General Party	2%	3%	4%	5%
Set Party	-	5%	6%	7%

• Party members share EXP according to their levels based on the EXP earned by the highest Lv. character in the party.
  • Ex.1 EXP acquired is distributed 5:5 equally when two characters with Lv. 500 join the party.
  • Ex.2 When Lv.300, Lv.300, Lv.400 characters join the party, they share EXP with a ratio of 3:3:4 including Additional EXP 3% based on EXP earned by Lv.400 character.
• If the EXP earned by Lv.400 character solely is 1,000, Lv.400 character acquires 412 EXP
  Lv.300 character acquires 309 EXP.
• A set party consists of members of different classes. A 5 player party with 5 different classes should get a 7% bonus.

I've created the issue to track it and I'll be working on this feature.

Where do you find this? AFAIK Webzen changed party exp calculations at least once after season 6

There was an update for the XP formula in Season 8, which I believe is still used to this day. I found it here:

In this enhancement I'll not address cash shop items (seals).

i would love this to be also in the opposite way more party members less exp :P

I made a suggestion in the PR to be able to configure stat attributes, so you can set negative party exp bonus with that 😂

I've created the configurations.
I'll always work with GMO original values and behavior, I believe in a low-rate server the XP split is already harsh when you have to carry buffer classes. So I'm not sure where a negative "bonus" would fit 😂 Anyway I've also added a check so it doesn't go below 0 multiplier, in the worst case a party would receive 0 xp.
