Hi all,
I've been doing quite a few Hideouts solo (Party 1/10) because I thought that would give me more XP than bringing a 10/10 party and also because I think it's a lot more fun than just clicking F1 > F3 and my party doing all the work for me.
I made a test, on the same hideout (loading saved game right before entering the hideout), with 3 different situations and these were my initial stats:
Initial XP: 86308 / 87422 xp (lvl 16)
Initial Money: 56391 denars
1) Solo fight (Party 1/10) - 2 runs
Dead: 13
Wounded: 2
Final XP: 5836 / 105906 XP (lvl 17) - 1st run
Final XP: 5529 / 105906 XP (lvl 17) - 2nd run
XP gain: 6950 XP - 1st run
XP gain: 6643 XP - 2nd run
Final Money: 57373 denars
Money gain: 928 denars
Renown: 5.7
Morale: 2.9
2) Solo fight (Party 10/10) - In this situation I brought my troops, went to fight alone and they stayed at the beginning of the hideout without interfering.
Dead: 12
Wounded: 3
Final XP: 6063 / 105906 XP (lvl 17)
XP gain: 7177 XP
Final Money: 57373 denars
Money gain: 928 denars
Renown: 5.7
Morale: 2.9
3) Only troops fight (Party 10/10) - In this situation I stayed at the beginning of the hideout, and F1 > F3. My only action was killing the final boss.
Dead: 7
Wounded: 8
Final XP: 86951 / 87422 xp (lvl 16)
XP gain: 643 xp (probably from killing final boss)
Final Money: 57373 denars
Money gain: 928 denars
Renown: 5.8 (+0.1 than the other ones)
Morale: 2.9
Conclusion:
While I should have done more runs to get a better sample, I believe that:
- Most effective way to gain XP doing Hideouts is bringing your party (10/10) and doing all the work alone (troops don't interfere).
- You gain the same amount of Renown and Morale going alone (1/10) or with a party (10/10) (only +0.1 on situation nr.3).
- You gain the same amount of money going alone (1/10) or with a party (10/10).
Issues (IMO):
- Doing hideouts solo (1/10) should give more XP than doing it alone with a full party (10/10).
- Doing hideouts solo (1/10) should give more Renown than with a full party (10/10).
