General Information
Aside from Monster Power 0, each act balances the amount of experience given per monster to be on par with the other acts.
Champions and Elites
The minions of an Elite monster pack give the same amount of experience as a normal version. However, the leader of the pack gives 5 times the normal amount of experience.
Every monster in a Champion pack gives 3 times the monsters normal amount of experience.
Monster Power Values
- MP 1: 25%
- MP 2: 50%
- MP 3: 80%
- MP 4: 120%
- MP 5: 165%
- MP 6: 215%
- MP 7: 275%
- MP 8: 340%
- MP 9: 420%
- MP 10: 510%
Converting Act 1 and 2 Monsters to Level 63
In Monster Powers 1 and higher, Act 1 and 2 monsters have their level raised to 63. This means their base experience is modified by a "level modifier".
These are the level modifiers for Monster Powers 1 and higher:- Act 1 - 80% experience bonus
- Act 2 - 50% experience bonus
Each monster in Inferno has a hidden base experience value. This value is used in conjunction with level modifiers, as well as Monster Power bonuses, to determine the amount of experience you will receive. This is calculated by first adding the level modifier to the monster's base experience value, then adding the Monster Power modifier to the result. For example, let's say we're in Act 2 on Monster Power 2, and we just killed a Sand Wasp. The base experience for a Sand Wasp is 3,000. First, since we're in Act 2 on Monster Power 2, the level modifier is 50%. 50% of 3,000 is 1,500. Add that together and we have 4,500. Next, we factor in the Monster Power modifier. 50% of 4,500 is 2,250, so adding that together gives us our final experience value of 6,750.

Oh @Anuiran...What about whimsyshire monsters?
@anuiran oooo i got ya.. thanks
@shniggies,
Act 1 monsters are level 61.
Act 2 monsters are level 62.
On Monster Power 1, all monsters are level 63. This means the exp is increased by 80% in act 1 and 50% in act 2. However it's all balanced in the end.

question! can you explain the 80% bonus exp in act 1 vs 50% in act 2?
are you saying you get more exp in act1 vs act2 for the same tier of exp monster?
are you saying you get more exp in act1 vs act2 for the same tier of exp monster?
Can you make 1 about best item drop % of each monster too? Or is it out there already that I am not finding it
:o Fantastic Job!
Got it now, thanks!
@douvinsky, if you look at the "Very Low" group of monsters in every act. They all give identical amounts of experience other than Monster Power 0.
@anuiran I am finding the General Information a little bit hard to comprehend. I guess it is the fact that it also talks about various XP level monster beside across various acts. Frankly I still don't understand.
So, you gonna update this page with the changes here:

I hope you are, since I use this a lot. It's super helpful :D
