===Experience Drain at Login===
Experience drain at login is based on when you last logged off the game. You will drain a percentage of your field experience up to the maximum of 100% (8 hours).
Experience drain at login is a process that is applied about 10 seconds after a character logs in. Depending upon how long it has been since the character was last in game, a portion of field experience will be converted directly to skill ranks.


As per GM Ssra, the times are roughly as follows:<br>&lt; 30 Minutes - 0%<br>30 Minutes - 6.25%<br>2 Hours - 25%<br>4 Hours - 50%<br>8 Hours - 100%<br>
To give you an idea of how it will break down:


Experience drain at login only occurs for players who have not receieved a warning within the last 6 months.
30 Minutes - 6.25%
2 Hours - 25%
4 Hours - 50%
8 Hours - 100%


1) Players who have received a warning within the last 6 months will not drain experience at login. This rule is very similar to that which is applied to thump when a warning is received.

2) You must be logged out for at least 30 minutes to drain experience when you log back in.

Field experience is converted to ranks every 200 seconds, with each skill having a separate 200 second timer. The amount drained is dependent upon a number of factors, position in the wall rank cycle, the character's Wisdom, and to a lesser extent, the character's Discipline. While not directly helpful, the character's Intelligence does play a part, as the amount converted to ranks is a percentage, and Intelligence will increase the size of the experience pool. Likewise, having more field experience will also increase the pulse size, due to the percentage nature.
