Catch-up experience

Where you stand decides how fast the next reset comes. The server ranks the top 100 characters by reset count, level breaking the tie, and everyone behind the leaders earns more experience:

The bonus multiplies the rate of your reset range, so a new character from 100th place down levels at x50 x 1.8 = x90 while the character leading the server gets no bonus on top of their own range rate, which is never below x5. In a party every member is paid by their own place, so a newcomer keeps their catch-up bonus while playing alongside a veteran. Master experience is not affected.

While the bonus is above x1.0 it hangs in your buff bar, with the exact percentage in the tooltip. Staff accounts on the administration's exclusion list are kept off the board so they cannot push anyone down a band.

The rate of your own reset range is in Reset system.
