1. What is OSRS Mining Experience?

The Old School RuneScape (OSRS) Mining experience formula calculates the total experience needed to reach a specific Mining level. The formula follows a non-linear progression, requiring exponentially more experience at higher levels.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the OSRS Mining experience formula:

Where:

• \( L \) — Target Mining level (1-99)
• \( i \) — Current level in summation
• \( \left\lfloor x \right\rfloor \) — Floor function (round down)

Explanation: The formula sums the experience required for each level from 1 up to (L-1), then divides by 4 and floors the result.

3. Importance of Experience Calculation

Details: Knowing the exact experience requirements helps players plan their training methods, estimate time investment, and set achievable goals.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Simply enter your target Mining level (1-99) and click Calculate. The result shows the total experience needed to reach that level from level 1.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why does experience requirement increase exponentially?
A: The 2^(i/7) term creates exponential growth to make higher levels progressively harder to achieve.

Q2: How accurate is this formula?
A: This is the exact formula used in Old School RuneScape for Mining experience.

Q3: What's the experience needed for level 99?
A: Approximately 13,034,431 XP (varies slightly due to flooring in the formula).

Q4: Does this include bonus experience?
A: No, this calculates base experience requirements without any bonuses.

Q5: Can I calculate experience between two levels?
A: Yes, by calculating for both levels and subtracting the results.
