XP calculations

Yes, your calculations are pretty much right, as far as I can tell. Yes, you're getting 84 (minus 25, so 59) donuts but that's ten straight days of building and selling 4 times a day, every four hours. It's a bit of a grind, honestly. I don't know if I'll re-up the XP collider after my ten days are up.

But then if you have a 100% conform-o-meter bonus, then it would mean 1x, which would be nothing. 101% bonus would be 1.01 according to what you said, and that would be only 1%. If I use 0.66 for something as simple as jobs, then it would mean I am only getting 66% of the original xp, right?

Not sure how you calculated the cost of the KEMs... just wanted to make sure you knew that they increase in price and decrease in sell back the more you buy and sell.

Hello and welcome!

I see 00becker got you the answer already, but I'll still post this so you can see what went wrong. It was a minor, easily made mistake but had a big effect on the outcome.

is what made your total xp come out so huge. This part adds up to having a total xp multiplier which is 500% more than what you have (2095% or 20.95 instead of 1595% or 15.95)

Seeing as your conform-o-meter bonus is 66% and your SH bonus is 153%, you should've taken and added up 1 (base xp), 0.66 and 1.53 instead of the used 1.66 (166%) and 2.53 (253%), both adding an extra 100% to your multiplier before using the collider. The extra 1 (base xp) in the formula boosted, after the collider bonus (x5), your total xp with 500%.

Your formula, which looks clean, with a minor correction:
2000 xp (for each KEM) x 25 (number of KEM) x x 4 (number of builds per day) x 10 (number of days). Simply put: 2000 x 25 x x 4 x 10 = 31.900.000 xp over the course of 10 days. This will bump you up 63.8 levels.

Edited after 00becker's post which showed me my wrongdoings. I will repent by being on time out for 10 minutes, outside.

Oh yeah. It is better to break it down by step. You should start by adding the bonuses together, because there was an extra 100% in there. I'm getting 23,900 xp per KEM, and 597,500 for 25.

This is important when you're farming but want to keep money loss on a minimum.

Without selling your original KEM (Apu's), The total cost from the 20th-26th KEM (included the 18 previously built) are as follows:

20: $30.970
21: $37.070
22: $44.370
23: $53.070
24: $63.370
25: $75.770
26: $90.170

Starting from and counting the 26th, each added KEM will cost you $14.000.

I myself don't go over this amount seeing as I want to build up my money pool. I usually go up to building 22 for a total of 23, which'll give me about 3 levels. With a high multiplier I also don't pick a different donut box, seeing as they cost $50.000 a piece and I can build enough KEM worth to get 3 levels out of that.

Nice explanation, Wiredup11, but you've forgotten the base XP and need to add 1 (or 100%) to your calculations for this. It's 66% added to the base collection for the conform-o-meter, and 153% added to the base collection for SH. But acbc123 added the base collection twice in the original calculation - it should only be added once and not to both the conform-o-meter and SH bonuses.

It took me a while but I figured out what you meant. You're right, and I'll edit my previous post to correct my mistakes.

I'm glad there are forum members that actually know math so mere peasants like myself can be helped.

I just noticed that my KEM cost now starts at 14,400. (Edit) So this is wrong! I accidentally stored my KEM instead of selling them. Whew! KEM cost is back to normal for me.


BTW, I don't see the Duff gardens offer in my town.

WHOAAA, WHOA! Whoa.

Too much maths!

Less thinking, more tapping!

=D

How do you determine your SH bonus percentage?

Your math for the bonus is wrong:
(100% base XP collection + 66% conform-o-meter bonus + 153% SH bonus) x 500% XP Collider bonus = 319% x 500% = 1595% = 15.95 times

So, 2000 XP/KEM x 25 KEMs x 4 times/day x 10 days x 15.95 bonus = 2000 XP/KEM x 1000 KEMs x 15.95 bonus = 2,000,000 XP x 15.95 bonus = 31,900,000 XP, or 63 levels between 101 and 939.

That's a gain of 38 doughnuts from your KEM builds (63 - 25 = 38 ). You can probably add a few more doughnuts for character/building XP collection too.

Edits for clarity. Hope it worked ;)

Ahhhhhhh okay that clears it up. Thanks for the kind explanation :D
