Okey-dokey, I need some formulas to help with Elementz.
Currently, I have NO formulas for the level up sequence.
*HP gain
*MP gain
*EXP limit gain
I MUST HAVE THESE!
Any help will be credited in-game!
Thanks a bunch!

How do you want them to be?

A formula that specifies how many points to increase the maximum HP by and so on.
A learning curve of sorts. Slowly at first then quickly later on.

So would maxhp *= 1.2 or something do?
Most RPG's also make leveling so that it will become increasingly harder at higher levels, something like:
(currentlevel + 10)*(currentlevel + 9) for a nice effect, the number would be the XP needed to reach the next level, 90 to reach lvl 1, then 110 extra to reach lvl 2 (200 total xp), etc..
Some RPG's use only that, others only decrease the XP earned, others do both, it makes sense that a higher level character does not earn as much xp from a low leveled enemy as does a newbie after all.
How does your MP/HP system work? Do you want it to regenerate? If so then you should probably only bind the amount of HP/MP to the level, and make the regeneration speed upgradeable with special items etc. ofcourse it makes sense to have upgrade items for the amount of HP/MP as well.
Up to you though, your game

A good way to start is to read the Dungeon Master GUide or the Players Handbook (or both) of Dungeon & Dragons

But what if you were to use it again
. It is a fun game (if not played for hours strait).

You might want to try out the way pokemon deals with the stats:
instead of continueing with the last stats, it has a fromula to calculate the stats, check it here:

You could find a download of it or a friend to borrow it from, and that is no where near a necro post
