The amount of experience obtained by defeating an enemy is determined by the enemy level and its category of reward.
The amount of experience obtained by defeating an enemy is determined by the enemy level (see below for an exception) and its category of reward.


There are 7 categories of reward, which are assigned internally by the game and are not visible anywhere in the user interface. From less to most rewarding:

Defeating "Zero" and "Civilian" enemies grants respectively 0 and 1 experience at any level. Next, "Pack" enemies are the weakest category and will provide much less experience than "Boss" enemies. For example, [[Nere]] is a level 5 "Elite" enemy, so defeating him rewards 90 experience. His minions are level 5 "Combatant" enemies, so defeating them rewards 75 experience each. Enemies of level 13 and above will provide as much experience as a level 12 enemy.

There is an exception to the rule: if the level of the enemy is lower than the level of the area, then the game uses the level of the area instead of the level of the enemy to choose the reward. For example, when defeating a level 1 [[Goblin]] in the level 3 [[Blighted Village]], the game will grant the experience for a level 3 "Combatant", i.e. 20 experience instead of 10.


Examining an enemy doesn't provide its category of reward, preventing the player to determine the precise amount of experience it will reward. However, the player can approximate it using the enemy level, visible in the Examine window or while hovering the enemy.
