[[[ UPDATE ]]]
Oct 11, 2017
I have updated the XP Scale Reference Chart which now displays up to level 271 and I have posted down below some of the updated numbers beyond Level 223.
July 24, 2017
It's been a buggy week and I wasn't able to do some things sooner than I liked. I have filled in the missing spots on the Sunday Nexus XP Chart.

Well, it has been a long time since I updated here (pretty much a year).
July 31,2016
Today I updated the Sunday Nexus XP chart. All rune combinations have been checked.. if there are any errors please bring it to my attention.
Thank you~!

Well with the large update we received yesterday (*see here http://forums.capitalgames.com/forum...trophy-rewards) I wanted to leave a brief message on this thread which I created a while while back.
RUNE crafting system is HERE~!
Thank you and enjoy exploring all~!

Added Ultra Legendary Rune Value Pyramid for a nice visual comparison of runes needed to create 1 Ultra Legendary Rune (in this case displaying Knowledge--xp Runes). I will be doing some more updates to the information in this thread when I can. Thanks~!

Okay so a brief mini update to the chart since Very Hard difficulty has been added to daily nexus. Apologies if I have been lagging behind on this info if anyone was looking for the most updated. I'll get to filling in the numbers a bit more when I can. Anyhow, I also plan to stop extending this original post. Thanks~!

Hello all,
Over the course of my several months of playing HODA which I've thoroughly enjoyed, I've been compiling a journal of info on the xp in the game. I have created 2 handy reference charts which I suppose are mainly geared towards newer players but even more senior players can benefit from it I think.
Thanks~!
..again it's nothing special.. just easier to have all the info in one spot and really any player could have done this for themselves.. here it is:

Now I suppose I should've prefaced this when i first posted in the morning that the way I gain my xp, my approach may differ from other players. The bulk of my xp is made on Sundays and thus the XP chart I was referring to was specifically for the Sunday Gold/XP nexus. Sorry that I didn't clarify that originally.. i realized this after.
TIPS
(1) Really the most efficient XP gain is made with double runes and best with similar duration types. At the time I made these charts I didn't have any Legendary (green) xp runes but the only difference from Ultra Legendary is the duration. I believe Legendary (green) XP rune is 30 mins duration while UL-XP rune is 1 Hour. I prefer epic runes most of the time since if I get busy I don't have to worry about putting my phone down or being away from my computer and wasting the Runes remaining duration timer.
(2) Try to use UL-XP runes just before you are to level OR at the beginning of a new level. And be prepared to play for 1 hour. If you are certain to be busy, save the UL-XP runes for a time that you can commit a solid 1 hour of play.
(3) Since the Rune-UI doesn't have the timer right on the rune, I use a separate timer. This helps me ensure I get the most usage of my rune without waste.
(4) I recommend levelling at your PC. With Tip #3 I use the free app "countdown timer" but anything really works. Might even be better if you have a real physical timer OR you could use your smart phone, etc.
(5) Whatever your account level is +11 is your current maximum energy capacity. So for example, if you are level 91, your maximum energy capacity is 102. My current level as of this post is 167, so my max energy capacity is 178.
(6) When deciding how to spend your energy look at the multiples of 5, 15 or 25. Match your energy usage with one of the multiples of whichever difficulty you are running. For Sunday XP nexus on Hard for example, if you have 157 energy then you could run 6 full runs and wait 15 minutes for nats to run 1 easy run. Then refill.
OR you could use that 157 energy to run 10 runs on medium, 1 run of easy and then up to you to wait on nats to do 1 more run of easy then refill or just refill without waiting.
(8) If you ran out of energy but are very close to reaching the next level and you still have time left on your xp runes.. then run Banished plane. With the new Nexus key addition of banished plane, it is free and so you probably want to stock 5 to 10 keys to bank for this purpose. Banished plane on Insane yields 400xp per node.. coupled with double-epic runes makes it 1400xp per node.
Finally, you will see from the simple XP scale I created where your account level is and really I recently discovered what a climb ahead of us!!! By level 167, you get to double-digit xp numbers ..10 million. I am currently 167 and my desire to climb xp is waning now.. it's just a monumental climb~!
Sorry this is so long again, hope it helps somebody out there in Thedas.
Good luck and please post feedback here.. any comments are welcome.. errors let me know.. thanks.

OR you could use that 157 energy to run 10 runs on medium, 1 run of easy and then up to you to wait on nats to do 1 more run of easy then refill or just refill without waiting.
Multiples of 5:
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100...(7) From my estimations and calculations, I have found medium is the most efficient for xp gain. It yields the most xp and it's not as difficult as hard so you can have a mix of T3 or T4 heroes with fresh low level heroes to level up. So I recommend running medium most times. For gold gain, Hard is likely the most efficient i think.
Multiples of 15:
15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300
Mutiples of 25:
25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325
