ycy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Here's how to calculate your average bonus xp multiplier for any time interval during the first 10 hours: (integrate(((x-10)/7.5)^2+1.1)dx from x=A to x=B)/(B-A) This is integrated out to be: (-0.00592593 A^3+0.177778 A^2-2.87778 A+0.00592593 B^3-0.177778 B^2+2.87778 B)/(B-A) Where A is your starting time, and B is your ending time (in hours), with 0<=A<B<=10 To calculate this, you must either use a graphing calculator, or use wolfram alpha (Substitute A and B with your own values), to evaluate the definite integral. I will provide some results for certain A and B here: A B Average XP multiplier0 1 2.710 2 2.550 3 2.400 4 2.260 10 1.695 10 1.252 3 2.10 What does this mean?It shows the average value of the bonus xp multiplier over that time interval you specified. For example, from the second hour to the third hour, you mined 1000 iron rocks, normally you will get 1000*35=35000 xp, but in this weekend, you will get 35000*2.10 (from the table) = 73552xp. However, this works only if you are continuously training, if you train and stop, or have some time intervals in-between gaining xp, the formula will not be very accurate.

Sy_Accursed Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Very nice of you to post this. But totally useless to the average joe, as you do not explain what the dx bit does or what intergrate does.To anyone who's not studied maths at a high level we are no wiser how to work it out at all.

langer Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Could you put the XP multiplier for all hour intervals up to 10 hours? This would help people plan their activities who are too lazy or bad at math! thanx Follow the progress of top players and my weekly updates here: 200M in all SkillsLatest Milestones Chart update : page 602Latest top 15 update : page 6026 slowest skills chart : page 563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyingjj Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I don't think the formula is particularly useful. Good show on the math, however. I don't think I would have the patience to integrate that (though looking at it again, I suppose it's not too hard, and I imagine you probably did it with a computer program). I'm not sure this will optimize anything, however. I suppose if you wanted to divide your time across many skills it would give you an idea of how much time you need to spend on each, but that might require excessive planning.

salamander Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Very nice of you to post this.

You don't need to understand integration to use this, you just need to plug A (your start time) and B (your end time) into this expression: Where A is your starting time, and B is your ending time (in hours), with 0<=A<B<=10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsboutin2 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Basically, integration being the calculation of the surface below the curve of a graph, it'll give you a rectangle, being, in this case, time*average multiplier. This way, dividing the value of the integral by the time value will give you your average multiplier for that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myweponsg00d Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Are you people serious? It is just integration of a polynomial...You are integrating a couple terms that are all added together. This means you can do the integral term by term. All it is is the integral of AX^2+BX+C where A B and C are constants. Need assistance in any of these skills?

Simple enough to you and me, yet practically Siberian Yupik (I picked the most obscure language I could think of off hand, just in case someone spoke one of the more common ones I could think of) to someone who has only ever studied up to geometry in math.

Myweponsg00d Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Or to those who dropped out of college. Tehe. Where I come from, you have to take calc in high school...Junior year is trig for the first half, then pre-calc for the second half. Then you take calc senior year. The smart kids do calc junior year then "advanced math" senior year, which is basically a calc 2. Need assistance in any of these skills?

The thing is though even in America not everywhere HAS to do calculus at that level.Translate over to UK school system and high school ends at 16, so unless you chose to attend college/sixth form AND to study maths while there you don't do such advance Calculus either.

walka92 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 and because the school system in QLD is so [cabbage], i never even seen calc. lol I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lap Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Currently in Calc BC, so this makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for the formula btw, totally going to train agility for the weekend. If you wanted to, you could add a small additional function that takes into account any rests, but it would be a waste. 45,657th to 99 Range 29/09/09 , 41,018th to 99 Mage 13/11/09__________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1230abcz Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 It's a 40 second integral. Just take the indefinite solution and tell people to plug in f(B)-f(a), and they'll have the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrixStar Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 rows are starting hours. columns are ending hours.Sorry for being confused by this but what does it matter when you start during the weekend? Isn't it just based on the time you log in going forward counting login time? I'm probably reading your graph wrong but it looks to me like youre saying if I start 10 hours into the weekend I'm only going to start at the minimum experience gain.
