# Exp Rate Penalty
In **OldschoolRO: Revo Classic**, your **Base EXP gains** are affected by the difference between your character's level and the monster's level. This system is designed to reward players who challenge stronger monsters, while discouraging farming significantly weaker ones.

### Important Notes:
* Fighting monsters **15 levels higher** grants the maximum **140% EXP bonus**.
* Monsters that are **21 levels higher or more** drop sharply to **40% EXP** as a balancing penalty.
* Defeating monsters within **±5 levels** of your character gives the standard **100% EXP**.
* Hunting weaker monsters results in reduced EXP gains, down to a minimum of **60%**.
***
### Example Case:
* **Player Level:** 50
* **Monster Level:** 65
* **Level Difference:** +15
* **EXP Rate:** 140% Base EXP (maximum bonus)
***
This system ensures fair and rewarding progression for all players in **OldschoolRO: Revo Classic**.
