+50% exp. It says increased to in the description, not increased by.

They really need to get someone who speaks proper English in there to edit alot of things in iRO. Things like the sage Diary, etc are so nerve racking especially for people who know English as their second language.

I think the description is fine. "EXP-rate increases to 150% for 30 minutes". What's unclear about that? I think it is clear to anyone who knows what a % is, and the difference between "by" and "to". I think it is good to differentiate it from +exp % cards and event items, which have an effect calculated very differently.

The descriptions in RO really suck at times, and you may have seen my less than polite post on the iRO boards about the green ferus card as posted on the website. The battle manual is not one of those times... it seems pretty clear to me.

Seriously, the GMs could easilly get a volunteer with good english skills and a history of decently written posts to check over the descriptions of items for iRO and rewrite them when needed. I'd do it.

i knew it was to good to be true, and my engrish suks. I'd really prefer it say gain extra 50% more exp in a 30 min duration.

mental sense lv 5 says exp gain is 180% , is actually 80% more exp and not 180% exp correct?

the language is important you wouldnt put that type of language in a clothing store or the cashier would always have to explain to the customer, that's not the language meant.

yeah its pretty dumb how everything is poorly translated, kind of annoying

[Boom]

Confused by a little bit of translated oddly text of descriptions, why is everyone so easily? Misleading that much it's not...

The Shwartz is strong in this one.

+50% and 150% is the same thing
+50% is basically just taking your current exp your getting lets say 10,000 just for example. So you take 10,000 * .5 = 5,000 now you take your current exp and 10,000 + 5,000 = 15,000.
now 150% "RATE" is just a short cut so you don't have to add. You just take 10,000 * 1.5 = 15,000 which is quicker.
Both really mean the same thing... just one is different way of saying it. Depending on context it can be misinterpreted. Personally i like it when they say 150% b/c double exp is 200% experience rate. Also same thing goes for the mental sensing 5 which is a 180% experience rate for any monster killed in its cast range. It could also be said +80% experience to your current rate. Its all based on how its worded which most of the time when it comes from a foreign language its almost always screwed up.
