Perhaps this: (Dungeon Level * (Experience + Gold)) / (Turns Taken/Dungeon Level) An example (since you're tracking kills on the leaderboard and not experience, I multiplied the kills by 100 to get a toy EXP): 19 * (14700+4990) / (8952/19) = 794 points. This formula rewards diving deep into the dun...

Zakia, we'll do our best to make the shop system easy to work with. I think it'll work with scrolling tables similar to what you'd see with our existing inventory screens. We haven't coded it yet, but do have some diagrams on paper here of how it might flow. :mrgreen: I guess that would be easier t...
