Sorry if this has been brought up. Skimmed the other two "battle manual" threads, didn't see a question like mine.

"This well written, detailed manual explains effective battle methods. The use of the Battle Manual increases experience earned by 50% for a duration of 30 minutes."

Yet when used, it says something along the lines of

"You will receive 1.5 times more EXP from hunting monsters for the next 30 minutes."

Don't quote me, off the top of my head <<;

Now with the way gravity has coded things in the past - and I've heard this randomly around...

Does a battle manual set your experience gain to 150% of the normal exp gain of 100%. Or does it 'add' 50%?

Example:

You're wearing assassinator shoes and combat knife, you kill a sniper. You get 120% exp from the 10% boosts from both items.

You're wearing assassinator shoes, combat knife and you pop a battle manual. Do you get 170%, or 150% still?

Another question is - With the upcomming 1.5x exp event, will battle manuals make the exp 2.25x the normal rate. (1.5 / 2 = 7.5 || 7.5 + 1.5 = 2.25) or not stack at all?

The bonus from each of those items would stack linearly as you described. The bonus exp from the servers for the upcoming event however actually modifies the monsters base exp, so they will multiply togeather. So battle manual during the upcoming event will be again as you mentioned, 225%.

That's kind of sexy. Might make use of the 6 I have left over on my Mastersmith and head down to HOs or something for some 375% EXP /rice.
(2.5 * 1.5 = 3.75)

Three hours of HOs, at 375% EXP... oh my god. I could be raking in like 20m+ EXP/hour. Talk about living the life.

Are you on sakray or something?

Either that or your math is wrong, or I'm being dumb. :x

Well duh I'm on Sakray. How else would I be claiming 20m EXP/hour in HOs? lol. It should have also been obvious when i said 2.5x EXP?

Well, Sakray will be getting 3x exp. 300%.

So with a manual you'll be getting 450% exp. :p or 4.5x.

2(regular rate) / 2 = 1

1 + 2 = 3(rates w/event)

3 / .5 = 1.5

1.5 + 3 = 4.5

~4.5x exp :3

-10% dmg from demi-human. Though it would be wise for the tank/dragger to be using ck or long mace in bio3, not assassinators.
