Does killing stronger monsters gain more xp for homunculus, or the homun xp is same irrespective of the monster level?

General Information

The level limit for a Homunculus owned by an Alchemist or Biochemist is 99. Once its master is promoted to Geneticist, the level limit is increased to 150. However, allowing a Homunculus to level higher than 99 is not recommended, as it will gain less HP/SP and stats compared to a Homunculus S, so it is advised to keep the Homunculus Vaporized until after completing the Homunculus S quest.

• When a monster is killed by the Homunculus alone:
  • Owner gets full Base Experience, but no Job Experience, from the monster, affected by the level difference.
  • Homunculus gets the full Experience from the monster, unaffected by the level difference.
• If a player kills a monster and his/her Homunculus doesn't contribute to the kill at all:
  • Player gets all Base and Job Experience from the monster, affected by the level difference.
  • Homunculus get no Experience at all.
• If a monster is killed by having both the player and his/her Homunculus dealing damage to the monster:
  • Player gets 105% of the monster's Base Experience. For example, a Sidewinder gives 720 Base Experience. Barring the level diferences, if both the player and the Homunculus participate in the fight, the player will receive 756 experience (720 × 1.05).
  • Player gets a portion of the monster's Job Experience based on how much damage is dealt by the player (the Job Experience pool is 105% of normal), affected by the level diference.
  • Homunculus gets a portion of the monster's Base Experience based on how much damage is dealt by the Homunculus, unaffected by the level diference.
• Whenever the player dies and the Homunculus' HP is above 80%, it will automatically be Vaporized. Otherwise it will not vaporize and is able to continue to fight, and the player continues to receive Experience from Homunculus, but manual commands cannot be issued.

It's a common mis-conception that when a Homunculus defeats a monster, they get the Job Experience of the monster. In actuality, they get a copy of the Base Experience of the monster, modified by the damage they did to it and how many people attacked it.

Experience gained by a Homunculus' owner from unassisted Homunculus kills can be shared in a party.

I'm confused now, "unaffected by level difference" means if a homun kills a zenorc or a harpy it will get the same xp?

Yes, unlike players, homun can kill anything they want and penalty doesn't affect them. It's why ant eggs last so long as a leveling spot.
