Experience rewards

Main article: Soul Wars/Rewards § Charts

One Zeal ($Z$) is worth a set amount of experience depending on the level ($L$) in that skill.

• To calculate Constitution, Attack, Strength, and Defence experience, the formula is: $\left\lfloor {\frac {L^{2}}{600}}\right\rfloor \times 525\times Z$
• To calculate Ranged and Magic experience, the formula is: $\left\lfloor {\frac {L^{2}}{600}}\right\rfloor \times 480\times Z$
• To calculate Prayer experience, the formula is: $\left\lfloor {\frac {L^{2}}{600}}\right\rfloor \times 270\times Z$.
• To calculate Slayer experience from level 1 to 30, the formula is: $\left\lfloor 7.5\times 1.1048^{L-1}\right\rfloor \times Z$.
• To calculate Slayer experience from level 30 to 99, the formula is: $(\left\lfloor {\frac {L^{2}}{349}}\right\rfloor +1)\times 45\times Z$.
• Redeeming 100 Zeal at a time grants you 10% bonus experience.

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• patch 27 January 2020 (Update):

• patch 14 October 2019 (Update):
  • Exchanging more than 69 zeal on any xp with trader Zanik, now works correctly with the player being informed "you may only spend another 69 zeal on XP or charms rewards in Ironman mode" and no zeal being deducted.

  • Added to game.

Trivia

• Zeal rewards were tripled on 28 October 2011 to celebrate the bot nuke.
