How experience works in Old School RuneScape
Every skill uses the same experience curve, and it is steep. Reaching level 99 takes 13,034,431 experience, but you pass level 50 at just 101,333 — less than 1% of the total. The last ten levels of any skill take longer than the first eighty combined.
The experience required for each level comes from a fixed formula:
xp(L) = floor( sum(n = 1 .. L-1) floor(n + 300 * 2^(n/7)) / 4 )We generate the table from that formula rather than storing a copy of it, so the numbers here cannot drift from the game’s.
Why level 92 matters
Level 92 sits at 6,517,253 experience — almost exactly half of the 13,034,431 needed for 99. Reaching 92 in a skill means you are halfway to 99 in experience terms, despite being seven levels short. It is the most quoted milestone in the game for that reason.
Turning experience into a plan
The experience figure on its own is not very useful. What you want to know is how many actions it represents and how long that will take. Enter an experience rate per hour or an experience value per action, and the calculator converts the remainder into something you can actually plan around.
For reference: one High Level Alchemy cast gives 65 Magic experience, and you can manage roughly 1,200 casts an hour. That is 78,000 experience per hour, which means 99 Magic from scratch is about 167 hours of alching — and our high alchemy calculator will tell you whether those casts make or lose money at current prices.
Worth knowing
Experience rates are what an attentive player achieves. Real sessions include breaks, banking and mistakes.
Rates quoted for a method usually assume the gear and unlocks that make it fastest.
