Talk:Experience Points

When a human is killed, do they lose xp?

Players cannot lose experience points. Headshot originaly would reduce the xp of a zombie. This is nolonger the case and it is currently impossible to lose experience. --Shagie 03:13, 30 Jan 2006 (GMT)

team kills

Is the 10 XP kill bonus also halved for team-on-team kills? I'm too nice to know this sort of thing! Morlock

I'm 90% sure you always get the full 10 XP.--Milo 06:26, 12 Sep 2005 (BST)

I just got the full 10 XP for a zombie-on-zombie kill. Can't speak for the survivor side. For the record, the other guy ZKed first (several times actually). I was just returning the favor.--Mister Nathan Marbles 21:16, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

"reading a book has a 10% chance of giving 1 XP through studying"

Are books one-shot items, or can you keep reading the same book over and over, each time with a 10% chance to gain XP? Dossy

Every time you read, there's some chance of finishing that book, and it gets discarded from your inventory. But if you don't it's available to be read again. I think that info should probably go on the items page rather than here though. Morlock 02:19, 9 Sep 2005 (BST)

Repeating information

The same thing is said twice here. It should be reduced somewhat -Daranz 04:15, 9 Sep 2005 (BST)

Which bit, precisely? (I am verbose at times, but I don't see any repetition here.) Or do you mean it's duplicated elsewhere in the wiki? Morlock 11:45, 9 Sep 2005 (BST)

It was removed already (not by me). See [1] --Daranz 13:52, 9 Sep 2005 (BST)

Oh, so someone did fold in drakkenmaw's thing after all. I see now. Morlock 14:28, 9 Sep 2005 (BST)

Tagging bonus

With the tagging skill, can you get the xp bonus multiple times for tagging a building more than once (i.e. you walk up to a police station with a full can and tag it 6 times, do you get 12 xp)? --Bioweapon 03:07, 30 Jan 2006

I'm reasonably sure that you can tag the same building for xp, however, if you tag over a tag that you sprayed, you only get the "You improve your work" message, and no xp. Theoretically, if two people stood outside the PD and took turns, they could do as you're suggesting. But alone, I'm pretty sure that's a no.--Craer 19:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Faster Way of earning XP

Which way is faster? Healing or Combat?

Yes.--Craer 20:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Healing by far. This goes for anyone. --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 14:50, 15 September 2007 (BST)

Skills on Death

If a survivor has certian skills and zomb-a-fies, then goes on to learn zombie skills.... and then revives, do they have all there people skills they used to have? Cadinsor 09:00, 5 September 2006 (BST)

Yes. All skills are persistent. There is no way to lose skills. Some skills even carry across survivor/zombie barriers. (Bodybuilding improves the HP of both zombies and survivors, for example) however, zombified survivors can't use most survivor skills (Shooting, barricading, reviving, healing, etc) and revivified zombies can't use most zombie skills (bites, scent death, claws, etc) --Craer 19:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Ruin (survivors)

"Ruin (survivors) - Ruining a building does not give XP." I thought that survivors couldn't ruin buildings...--Normal Phobic^C 13:35, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
