+ *
+ *   Regular enemies (non-boss):  exp = 20 + 3.5 * lv
+ *     Typical fit: R²≈0.9999. Examples at lv0/lv30/lv60:
+ *       Goblin/Sling:  17/104/191  (formula: 20/125/230)
+ *       Wolf:          18/103/188  (formula: 20/125/230)

+ *   Boss enemies (IsBossGauge):  exp = 1400 + 64 * lv
+ *     Median of 16 bosses, each perfectly linear. Examples at lv0/lv30/lv60:
+ *       Cyclops:  1200/2640/4080  (formula: 1400/3320/5240)

+ *       Behemoth: 2800/6160/9520  (formula: 1400/3320/5240)
+ *       Wyrm:     2900/6380/9860  (formula: 1400/3320/5240)
+ *     Note: individual bosses vary 0.5x–2x the median formula.
+ *     Enemies with tool data use EnemyExpScheme.Tool for exact values.
