Q about XP and the multiplier

I just tried a test, and the results confused me so I need some help from the maths experts here

With an XP counter at zero (from a crash that awarded a donut round) I collected a single task that has an XP value of 225.

The XP counter accrued 41285xp. But my multiplier is 3570.55%

225x35.7055 ≠ 41285 so what is happening here? Do I have a different rate than what is displayed and if so what is it?
  • You get 100% of 225 with no bonus and it adds 3570.55% of 225 to that then multiplies by 5. There is some rounding goes on too, rounding up to the nearest 1 XP before the collider multiplies that by 5.
    Divide your bonus by 100 then add 1, so it's 36.7055 times the 225 XP
    I make that 8,258.735 but 41,285 / 5 is 8,257
    There are some items that pay less bonus for XP than for $$s ( all good fun !! ) so it seems that applies here and your actual XP bonus is somewhere closer to about 3569.7% otherwise it would be 8,259 * 5 = 41,295
    You're probably more confused by now I guess !!
  • @168sean168 - the math above include the x5 for the collider and the basic XP without it. I always assume players who want to figure the return with a high bonus always use the collider
  • @devilhunt - when they nuked the KL and shifted it back into your main Springfield town those SH bonuses showed up on the CoM
  • @1-Graham-S I used to be able to workout the numbers. But after a few years of non usage, I also forgot how it all works anymore. Also I would turn on my collider 24 X 7.
  • Not sure if it still applies but I seem to remember that some of the Springfield Heights buildings had a hidden XP multiplier.

  • I forgot the 5x from collider! Thanks everyone you are awesome!
