View source for Bonus Experience (Mechanics)

== Bonus Experience Calculation ==

# Each activity has an initial base experience per action for each skill.
# Experience percentage bonuses from attributes is calculated.
#* The game only looks at the experience bonuses for equipment that affects the main skill for the activity.
#* These experience bonuses are applied to '''all''' skills that are used by the activity.
# Any flat experience given from an attribute is added.
# Percent bonuses are then added to the base 100% experience that you have for every activity.
# The base experience per action is multiplied by the calculated experience multiplier.
# The calculated total experience is then rounded down for display.
#* The game uses decimals for experience in the background with no rounding. You'll never lose or gain experience due to rounding errors..

=== Example with No Experience Bonuses ===
If we want to do [[Soup Kitchen Volunteering]] with no gear.

# We look at the base experience for the activity.
#* Soup Kitchen Volunteering has a base experience value of 24 experience points per action.
# We calculate any attribute bonuses (i.e. from equipment).
# We add the bonus flat bonus experience from attributes (i.e. from equipment).
#* We have no equipment that gives flat experience. = +0.0 experience
#* 24.00 experience points per action + 0.0 bonus experience = 24.00 total experience points per action
#* Equipment experience bonuses: We have no equipment that gives experience bonuses. = 0.00 added equipment experience
# We add the bonus experience to the base experience value.
#* 1.00 base experience multiplier + 0.00 equipment experience multiplier = 1.00 total experience multiplier
# We multiply the base experience per action by the calculated experience multiplier.
#* 24.00 base experience per action &times; 1.00 experience multiplier = 24.00 calculated experience per action
# We round the total experience per action down to the nearest full experience point for display.
#* 24.00 total experience per action rounds down to 24 displayed experience points per action

=== Example with Percent Experience Bonuses ===
If we want to do [[Soup Kitchen Volunteering]] with a [[Chef's Hat]].

# We look at the base experience for the activity.
#* Soup Kitchen Volunteering has a base experience value of 24 experience points per action.
# We calculate any attribute bonuses (i.e. from equipment).
# We add the bonus flat bonus experience from attributes (i.e. from equipment).
#* We have no equipment that gives flat experience. = +0.0 experience
#* 24.00 experience points per action + 0.0 bonus experience = 24.00 total experience points per action
#* Equipment experience bonuses: The Chef's Hat gives +6.0% bonus experience = 0.06 added equipment experience
# We add the bonus experience to the base experience value.
#* 1.00 base experience multiplier + 0.06 equipment experience multiplier = 1.06 total experience multiplier
# We multiply the base experience per action by the calculated experience multiplier.
#* 24.00 base experience per action &times; 1.06 experience multiplier = 25.44 calculated experience per action
# We round the total experience per action down to the nearest full experience point for display.
#* 25.44 total experience per action rounds down to 25 displayed experience points per action

=== Example with Flat Experience Bonuses ===
If we want to do [[Soup Kitchen Volunteering]] with an item giving flat bonus experience.

# We look at the base experience for the activity.
#* Soup Kitchen Volunteering has a base experience value of 24 experience points per action.
# We calculate any attribute bonuses (i.e. from equipment).
# We add the bonus flat bonus experience from attributes (i.e. from equipment).
#* Our item gives a +2.0 bonus experience.
#* 24.00 experience points per action + 2.0 bonus experience = 26.00 total experience points per action
#* Equipment experience bonuses: We have no gear that gives experience bonuses. = 0.00 added equipment experience
# We add the bonus experience to the base experience value.
#* 1.00 base experience multiplier + 0.00 equipment experience multiplier = 1.00 total experience multiplier
# We multiply the base experience per action by the calculated experience multiplier.
#* 26.00 base experience per action &times; 1.00 experience multiplier = 26.00 calculated experience per action
# We round the total experience per action down to the nearest full experience point for display.
#* 26.00 total experience per action rounds down to 26 displayed experience points per action

=== Example with Experience Bonuses and an Activity with Multiple Skills Requirements ===
If we want to do [[Firewood Making]] with a [[Lumberjack Shirt]].

# We look at the base experience for the activity.
#* Firewood Making has a base experience value of:
#** 15 experience points per action for woodcutting
#** 10 experience points per action for agility.
# We calculate any attribute bonuses (i.e. from equipment).
# We add the bonus flat bonus experience from attributes (i.e. from equipment).
#* The Lumberjack Shirt gives a +1.0 bonus experience.
#** Woodcutting: 15.00 experience points per action + 1.0 bonus experience = 16.00 total experience points per action
#** Agility: 10.00 experience points per action + 1.0 bonus experience = 11.00 total experience points per action
#* Equipment experience bonuses: The Lumberjack Shirt gives +6.0% bonus experience when woodcutting = 0.06 added equipment experience
# We add the bonus experience to the base experience value.
#* Woodcutting: 1.00 base experience multiplier + 0.06 equipment experience multiplier = 1.06 total experience multiplier
#* Agility: 1.00 base experience multiplier + 0.06 equipment experience multiplier = 1.06 total experience multiplier
# We multiply the base experience per action by the calculated experience multiplier.
#* Woodcutting: 16 base experience per action &times; 1.06 experience multiplier = 16.96 calculated experience per action
#* Agility: 11 base experience per action &times; 1.06 experience multiplier = 11.66 calculated experience per action
# We round the total experience per action down to the nearest full experience point for display.
#* Woodcutting: 16.96 total experience per action rounds up to 17 displayed woodcutting experience points per action
#* Agility: 11.66 total experience per action rounds up to 12 displayed agility experience points per action
Note: The game tracks the full decimal value for experience so you are not gaining an extra 0.04 from woodcutting or 0.34 from agility in this example.
