Earning Rift Crystals

How Much RC Is That Monster I Just Killed Worth?

Rift Crystal earnings are determined by the base amount of the monster multiplied by modifiers, which are determined by the level of the party members present relative to the Arisen and Main Pawn at the time of the monster's death.

This starts by using 10% of the base XP of each monster killed.

The modifiers are determined by comparing the level of the other party members to the Arisen and the main pawn. Each level disparity is worth either  +1% or -1%, which is then capped at +25% or -25%. For example, a hired pawn 30 levels above that of the Arisen/Main Pawn receives a modifier of 25%, while a hired pawn 25 levels below that of the Arisen/Main pawn earns a penalty of 25%. Hired pawns between the caps are calculated on a sliding scale worth 1% of each level disparity.

An empty party slot is equivalent to a 25% bonus, e.g., a pawn more than 25 levels above the Arisen/main pawn.

RC calculations are made separately for each support Pawn. The number shown on the player's screen at the time of a monster's death is solely the Arisen's XP earnings; support pawn RC amounts are not available to the player unless the rented player messages you to tell you what the net RC earnings were when the pawn was returned to the Rift.

An example of RC calculation:

The Arisen and Main Pawn are level 75, and are accompanied by a level 200 hired pawn and a level 40 hired pawn. The party kills a Gorecyclops.

The level 200 support pawn earns 57,000 x 10% x 25% x 25% x 25% for a total of 9975 RC for that kill. The party modifiers consist of three RC bonuses, because the level 200 is presumed to be doing most of the work while accompanying three lower-leveled people.

The level 40 support pawn earns 57,000 x 10% x -25% x -25% x -25% for a total of 1425 RC for that kill. The lower leveled pawn is hit with extreme RC penalties because it is assumed that the pawn is being carried by the rest of the party members.

Modifying RC Earnings:

A very good RC calculator is located here:   RC Calculator
 * RC earnings double when the player is in Hard Mode.
 * RC earnings double with the use of a Weal item, such as a Veteran's Periapt or a Blessed FloweBlessed Flower.
 * These can be stacked; e.g., if the player uses a Weal item in Hard Mode, a rented pawn earns 4x RC.
