Cinder Core

Firstly, I'm really sorry for your disappointment Matko; I can certainly see how easy it must have been to make that mistake!
For items that work in such different ways, the descriptions of them are alarmingly similar at a quick read. Also, the shared name part 'core' for both, would suggest to the unaware that they work in the same way, just that one gives more xp than the other. One would certainly have to analyse each description pretty closely and warily to notice that one only works if you currently have bonus xp on a skill saved up.
"Pulse core " A powerful item that grants 150% bonus xp while active. Once consumed it will explode granting an XP bonus (up to 10%) to everyone around you, including yourself."
"Cinder core " A powerful item that grants 250% bonus xp burn rate while active. Once consumed it will explode granting an XP bonus (up to 10%) to everyone around you, including yourself."
I'm sure that many others will have made the same mistake since those descriptions and the names of those items are alarmingly similar, not that that's any consolation I know. I'm not sure I'd go as far as to suggest that the descriptions were written that way intentionally to trap people into having to buy more Treasure Hunter tickets in order to get more bxp to make use of the cinder cores that they have bought under a misconception. It would certainly be understandable to come to that conclusion however. Personally, if I were Jagex, I'd prioritise making sure that the different way cinders and pulses work is made blaringly obvious to avoid others coming to the same conclusion as yourself as to their intentions. :/ AKA: Arbr**** Vie
