Advanced pulse cores give +50% extra experience that stacks with bonus experience already owned. It will explode after enough experience has been accumulated. Players can choose to lock any skill by choosing the "Toggle skills" option. The total experience given via the advanced pulse core is equivalent to a medium prismatic lamp, scaling with your total level.
When the advanced pulse core explodes, an effect is given to the player wearing the core and the players around them, giving them a 2% bonus experience buff. Every time another pulse core explodes, another 2% bonus is added to the buff to a maximum of 10% bonus experience. The effect lasts 10 minutes, with the timer being reset every time another pulse core explodes.
The pulse core is worn in the pocket slot and is stackable, meaning players can wear multiple pulse cores at once. This allows them to receive all the bonus experience without having to check and re-equip pulse cores.
Both experience boosts from pulse cores will stack additively with normal bonus experience (but not Enlightenment aura). At maximum, when all three are active, players can gain up to 2.6x the normal experience. The pulse core buff also stacks with the Clan avatar's skilling buff, as well as Double XP Weekends.
The 50% bonus does not work when disassembling augmented items.

Temporary skill boosts[edit | edit source]
The pulse core can boost skills in four categories: Gatherer, Artisan, Support and Combat. When a pulse boosts skills, it affects all skills in the set. This does not apply to free-to-play, only members. The boost doesn't always occur after you finish a core, and thus, you may need to use multiple cores to get the desired boost.
Alternatively, it is possible for it to restore life points or prayer points instead. The amount of life points restored is equivalent to that of a Shark. For prayer points the value is equivalent to a Prayer potion.
Advanced pulse cores offer temporary boosts in skills aligned to an Expert cape of Accomplishment.
The amount of boost received scales with the individual levels of the skills being boosted. Ironmen will not receive the skill boost or the escalating bonus experience buff from using a pulse core.
The boost will decrease by a single point at a time until depleted. It can be refreshed to full effect and duration by finishing a new pulse core, but only if the newly-finished core also rolls to boost the same skills. The first point of the boost will last 45 seconds; every subsequent point will last 1 minute until it reaches 0. For instance, an Archaeology skill of 100 will be boosted to 108/100. After 45 seconds have passed, the boost will reduce to 107/100. After 1 minute, it will reduce to 106/100. It will then continue to reduce by one point per minute until fully depleted.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The pitch of the noise that an (advanced) pulse core makes increases every 1,000 experience that is used.
- Orbs of blue light orbit the player using an advanced pulse core, increasing in number and complexity as the bonus experience is spent. At later stages, the orbs also turn between blue and red and the frequency increases as the pulse core nears explosion.
