When de-leveled, is the gold and xp that you receive based on your virtual level or on your total level?
Basically will I take an xp loss and gold loss when I am able to hunt next because I am hunting below level or will I get full xp and gold ?
If you really want to know why I have not done anything about the attacks read on. It is just background and has no bearing on the question.

I have been been attacked 11 times in the last 24 hours by a player, I am assuming for prestige. I am carrying no gold, I have 11 bank deposits and when he started attacking, I had 9k gold on me which was emptied with, I suspect, a successful activation of master thief on the second attack (first attack they received 1779 gold). I really think I must have done something like sacrifice his first first born to Loki during a prior life.
I do not want to hear lots of suggestions on what to do. I have talked with Chewtoy and he gave me suggestions.
Why am I not wearing an offline set? I have recently returned to the game. I used to guild tag everything and when returned ALL my equipment had been recalled and sold for gold for maintenance of the guild. I am not upset about that. But it does mean I am rebuilding somewhat from scratch. From hunting and donations from a friend, I have only finally gotten a full hunting (leveling) set and it is with the exception of 2 items, all crystalline. I choose not to wear crystalline when offline, especially if someone is attacking me every couple of hours.
It was suggested I purchase, PvP Protection, and I consider that a good idea except, I do not have the gold to purchase the FSP to purchase a weeks worth of protection. (At current FSP marketplace prices, I can afford 8 FSP). As I said I am re-equipping.
Why has my guild not given me an offline set since they recalled and sold all my equipment? They do not have it. Even after a 3 year absence, I am still 400 levels above any other active guild member. I think most went into composing business or something, because no one has made more than a couple of hundred levels while I was gone.
Why not bounty, no gold?
Why not hit back, well I used to do that, with 100 stam hit backs, (Except Pigsplint who would routinely hit me as a "Hi" and I would hit him as I "Nice to see you too, how is the family?", too bad they do not allow 1 stam hits). I discovered most of the people I hit back would bounty ME??? And I routinely lost levels because of the bounties.
My purpose in the game is not to be king of the mountain, it is to help my guild and a social outlet. (I am retired and live with my cats.) So I am will only be upset if the de-leveling will mean I make less gold so I can finish re-equipping and then start helping my guild with structures again.
