should have used a 50% pot you idiot.

World bonuses don't count for ottos stones.




I knew the first part.


I did NOT know the second.




Yeah, I figured the 20% weekend would affect me and make up for the lack of sov pot.


ALSO YOU ALL SUCK.


I want my stone back that I "lost" you jackwagons.


Oh well, after Tuesday I'll still cap before my TR timer is done. So,it's not that big of a deal I guess.

Meat, to you I have to say :
Thank you for sharing. I had shitty day and knowing that you wasted 50$ out of stpidity makes my cross lighter



Your troll is too blatant these days. Roll it back some like a giant stone in front of an ancient tomb so that its glory might be revealed.


Also, only a fool would waste $50 on an ottos box these days. I'm a moron. It's totally different.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

I also boxed with a 50% pot like any rational person and got to 19.1. And I'm even on Sarlona and frequently count to potato.

Oh, and /bump. Wink

Disclaimer: This is not an exploit discussion. Get over it.

I used a box today but I got way LESS xp than I have in the past with this. This given the 20% weekend was pretty disappointing. I should have been 19 rank 3 or so. I ended up 17 rank 4.

I submitted like 3 tickets for help. I could blabber about the details of those tickets, but essentially they blew me off and told me to submit a bug report.


So my question: are you getting less xp than usual with boxes atm, or was I just "lucky"?


I had 5% shrine, 5% voice, greater tome (20%), 30% pot, 20% xp weekend. I used the stone at lvl 8 with about 15-20% of the xp needed to get to 8 rank 1. 


with whats here.. only 3 of them actually affect the stone, the shrine, the voice, and the pot.. Books and In-Quest Xp boosts do not.. so you only had a 40% boost to xp. Assuming your going into third life, the stone will give a base of 2,040,000 xp. 40% boost will grant an additional 816,000, total 2,856,000 xp gain with the stone putting you around 3,264,500 xp, or lvl 17 and rank 4 with roughly 60k xp to lvl 18.. which is how much it has always given on third life

PS.. why dint you dc and just keep your stone? just wondering... Happy (using the same stone for the... 8th time now... Cheesy)

Meat, btw, world bonuses do not apply.
Only ship, pots and voice. In case you have forgotten inbetween.

Not only does VIP apply, it applies after other XP bonuses are added to the total - or at least that's how it worked with old stones. 5% VIP should be something like an extra 157,500xp with a 50% pot.

old stones gave 2,040,000 before bonuses, 50% pot, 5% ship, 5% item, 10% vip gave 3,468,000, thus vip bonus does NOT apply after other bonuses, if it did, one would receive 3,590,400 xp instead. they just stack up to a total 70% (75% until the 21s of december) so old stones will give 3,570,000 xp, + base lvl 8 xp to use the stone puts you at 3,978,500 xp, however thats prior to the xp curve.. not sure how much they give now with the said xp curve..

new stones are easier to get the math on, because they are a flat 2m xp regardless of what life your on.. so 2m * 75%  will give a flat 3.5m xp from level 1.. putting a third life what.. 300k from cap..


Edit: 1,810,000 xp between lvl 8 and 16. multiplied by the bonuses is.. uh.. uhms... 3,167,500 xp gained from an "old" stone.. putting you at... 3,777,500 xp (610000 xp to get to level 8 to use the stone).. This puts you.. 23k from cap... Lulz?

Old stones with new XP curves will give you a base of 1,970,000 (delta from lvl 8 to 16) for a 3rd lifer.
Without the VIP bonus going to 15%, the Otto's stone would have taken you to 3,799,000 - which is 1,000XP short of 20 for a 3rd lifer (coincidence any?  The XP curves now align exactly to using a full bonus Otto's stone....).

However, with VIP bonus moving to 15% temporarily, you will go to 3,897,500, which presumable will overflow into Epic XP (hopefully).

And you're right, new stones are much easier to calc.  Smiley

I may be mistaken, but I believe the old stones were multiplicative in regards to potion XP (Similar to in world quests) where as the new stones are additive.

Old : (Stone XP * (Voice + Ship + VIP)) * Potion
New : Stone XP * (Voice + Ship + VIP + Potion)
