Map difficulty and experience

Does the experience granted running maps depend on the difficulty & mods of the map, or only on the map level?

Xp per monster is based on area level.

Bigger pack size mean more mobs so more xp per map.

There is mod that increase xp gained but it is only avaiable in:
- "untained paradies" unique map spawned by Zana
- darkshrine mod

Also a Tempest mod. Who knows if/when we can expect to see it, however.

Before taking penalty into account all NORMAL monsters give the same amount of experience regardless of level

Where does this "knowledge" come from? A normal zombie in normal diff gives obviously less xp than the same monster in cruel or merciless (beside that any monster class has different xp rates)...

Is the base experience that the monsters give higher on higher level maps

So I would expect/assume that the monster xp indeed scales with the level of the monster. Sadly, its a bit hard to get proving data - between finding suiting (same) monsters in different level maps; and excalculating penalties.

My previous post was based on the fact that you don't gain noticeably more xp from running higher level maps within the no-penalty level range.

because we dont know how significant (or marginal) the number differences are between +-1 level monsters (as being ~1% of a given 80) of same type...
