Penence Horn

[skylor12344]

OK so i have went through 10 full waves of BA and my horn is "less than a quarter full"...i was told it only takes 10 full waves to fully fill the horn but how come mine is only a quarter of the way full? Im wondering if maybe u need it equipped to get the full xp because i was using a BGS the horn was in my inventory so maybe i wasnt getting the full xp?

It seems you have been misinformed, it takes 10 full games of 10 waves to fully charge the horn. Hope that helps.

Oh ok thank you very much! How much xp does the horn last for?

I believe it's based on your level. I remember someone posting a formula for each stage the horn goes through, I'll see if I can find it. If you don't see this post updated, I either: A) Didn't find it or B ) Was on some serious drugs and it doesn't exist.

 

EDIT: I might have been on drugs because I didn't find a formula, however from the threads I read, it can last anywhere from 1.1m to 1.3m xp (this is the Master)/

oh ok =] well im using the regular pen horn as im only lvl 3 at max in each role so i cant get the master horn and im using it for mining as i dont like this skill...but at the rate im going with filling the hor i might as well suck it up and do granite lol...but in the case i do decide to do granite...would it be worth it to do Dealing with Scabaras quest for the enchanted tiara?

Collector role you can get to level 5 really quick for the master. I'm not sure about the experience for the regular. (Psst, don't be filling what you're filling ;)). If you're going to be doing Granite, I'd say yes. I'd even say yes anyways because I never have to worry about water source if I'm doing something in the desert.

Sorry for a bit of a hijack: Does the horn's effect stack with SC pickaxes?

It does stack. Tough using SC pickaxes has proven to be inefficient time-based ;) but many people don't care anyway about that.

Also qoutes from that article:

A test with concentrated rocks resulted in approximately 1,169k mining experience from a fully charged horn.

Contrary to popular belief, you do NOT get the same amount of exp in the horn for every wave, and it does still matter, greatly, how you play.

 

* Your horn is empty

* Your horn is almost empty

* Your horn has only a little potential remaining

* Your horn is less than a quarter full

* Your horn is around a quarter full

* Your horn is nearly a third full

* Your horn is around a third full

* Your horn is almost half full

* Your horn is around half full

* Your horn is nearly two thirds full

* Your horn is around two thirds full

* Your horn is less than three quarters full

* Your horn is around three quarters full

* Your horn is more than three quarters full

* Your horn is almost full

* Your horn is full
