RoE: +89% on 4 minions (in General)

My main character, 471% NUB, today's anti-clan-bonus day.

XP gained by other minions / XP on RoE minion

32030:60692=1.89485
36973:70029=1.89406
42681:80729=1.89145
48102:91042=1.89269
53488:101230=1.89257
59237:112028=1.89118
64533:121988=1.89032
69875:132025=1.88945

It's most definitely above 80% bonus, 89% seems right, except there's this dropping trend, I hope I didn't use the wrong starting points...

Linear regression on XP:XP, slope is 1.89135 standard error 0.00267

Linear regression on XP gained by other minions vs. bonus rate: -12.55% per million XP, intercept (at XP 0) is 1.89845. Correlation coefficient is 83.8%, still pretty high.

And in true math slashing style:

Linearize the hypothetically hyperbolic data (if the starting points were wrong) to 1/XP vs. 1/rate. After regression the slope (=a) is -148.52 and intercept (=b) is 0.53017. That is, the best fit under MSE is Bonus = XP/(bXP+a).

Take the limit to see the hypothetical limiting bonus (= no error in numbers) is 88.62%. Correlation is a lower 81.7% though.

Good observations, but, synge made a post earlier stating that fighting clan targets, regardless if it's sunday or not, grants a 5% flat bonus reward compare to nonclan targets of same score as part of the inherent reward based on PR. That might explain your observation.

Avoid got about 86%.

Well shouldn't that 5% bonus apply to the base fight reward, which goes into the RoE bonus as well?

And I suspect RoE rounds down, which would make smaller fight rewards lower the %.
