You can use the third party Decal plug-ins, such as Topheron's Doom or Combater to log information while you play. Make sure you have the Log Spell Info option checked. These numbers can also be calculated manually, for those who prefer not to use plug-ins. Use the @log command to save your results to a text file.

For Creature Casting Attack Skill:
Look in your log file for a sequence like this:

[Date] [Time], Your Name, ResistSpell, Banderling Mauler, You resist the spell cast by Banderling Mauler
[Date] [Time], Your Name, SkillExpChange, Magic Defense, 263,263
[Date] [Time], Your Name, TotalExpChange, [xp], InFellowship, True/False, CharLeve, [Level]


In this case, the Casting Attack Skill of the Banderling Mauler is 263
(The first number is the xp into the magic defense skill; the second number is the "difficulty" of the skill check.)
You may find varying numbers, depending on the school of attack cast.

To find the number manually, write down the current amount of xp you need to increase your Magic Defense Skill. Resist a spell by a creature, then write down the new amount of xp you need to raise your MD skill. Subtract the 2 numbers to get the change in xp. Divide by 2 to find the casting skill of the monster.

For Creature Magic Defense Skill:
Topheron's Doom also helps you calculate the Magic Defense Skill of Creatures. This number can also be calculated manually.

Write down the number of xp you need to raise your magic attack skill (example:  War or Creature) to the next point. Attack a creature with a spell and quickly note how much you now need to raise your magic skill to the next point. If the creature resists, this will not work and you'll have to wait for the timer to be reset (15 minutes since the last skill use). Subtract the two numbers to find the total amount of xp you received into the skill for successfully casting the spell, then divide by 2 for the creature's Magic Defense number.

For Creature Experience:
To get an accurate experience value, you need to be within 3 levels of a creature level. As your level over the creature increases, the amount of experience you receive decreases. To calculate the adjusted experience when you are 4 or more level higher than the monster, use the following formula:


Adjusted_exp = (Creature_Level + 3) / Player_Level * Actual_Creature_exp


To find the actual experience, use the following formula:

Actual_exp = Adjusted_exp / ((creature_Level + 3) / Player_Level)

NOTE: This was the formula pre March 2003. Orion has stated that "There is now a complex equation that is used to calculate the experience yield of creatures." At this time, it is unknown whether the formula has changed.

If you have updated values, please send me an email.

 

Thanks to Topheron for teaching these techniques.
