Wonky calculator used while figuring new xp rates for ritual disturbances Jagex? I calculate a 28.5% reduction in xp, not 20%.

A few hours before the update I wrote down my xp rates for each disturbance. I'm level 105 and the only possible bonus I have is +6% for clan. I'm doing powerful essence, soul attraction is 650%.

When I wrote down my rates after the nerf, everything I did was still the same. Same level, etc.

Before -- After
4391 ---> 3084 -- wandering soul, sparkling glyph
8639 ---> 6170 -- shambling horror
12958 ---> 9255 -- corrupt glyph
17277 ---> 12342 -- soul storm
21597 ---> 15425 -- defile

Please tell us your calculator was wonky Jagex, and that you'll hot fix the xp to only take off 20% as stated in your notes. It makes a big difference to the people still working on the skill who don't have 200m already.

To everyone who is saying I didn't take into account the extra 4k xp per powerful ess ritual, it still doesn't add up to a 20% nerf.

I was at 650% soul attraction, was doing powerful ess and got 6 randoms per ritual guaranteed.

Let's say I got 100k in randoms xp before, now I am getting 28.6% less which means I will get 71,400 xp for the randoms in that ritual. So instead of getting 100K I will now get 71,400 + 4420 = 75,820 xp or a 24.2% nerf.

At 120k xp from randoms, now we will get 85,680 + 4420 = 90100, which is a 25% nerf.

This is not the 20% they stated.

You didn't seem to have added the buffed xp for completing a ritual into your calculations. they were actually thinking about that xp? i thought i was the only one doing that

"Whilst the initial proposal was discussed at a possible 50% reduction, we've read through your feedback and agree that this is a bit too heavy handed, and are now looking to bring it down by 20-25%.

As part of this adjustment, we are also considering small tweaks in regards to the balance of XP gained from ritual completion, versus random events (
this would decrease the XP from the random events, in turn to buff XP from the ritual completion
). We hope this will ensure that actively engaging in rituals will still be a great way to gain Necromancy XP, without being too overtuned in comparison to other methods."

The 20% nerf was for disturbances only the ritual xp output doesen't count. Jagex is bad at math.

That's now what they wrote:

"Whilst the initial proposal was discussed at a possible 50% reduction, we've read through your feedback and agree that this is a bit too heavy handed, and are now looking to bring it down by
20-25%
."

They planned to reduce random event xp by 20-25% at the time of the blog, not definitely 20%. They could have reduced it by 25% and increased the ritual completion xp by about 5%.

Whatever way you look at it, OP certainly didn't have the increased xp from ritual completion in their calculations.

Ok so the ritual xp went from 4420 to 8840....still doesn't seem to make the overall loss 20%, because the disturbances are random.

This change along with losing daily challenges, where I could turn off my skills that are 200m, and having to do hero's pass, leaves me not excited to play rs today or tomorrow.

Thumbs down.
