	{{Equation box\|'''Field Experience Pool {{=}} 800 + LOG + DIS'''}}		{{Equation box\|'''Field Experience Pool {{=}} 800 + LOG + DIS + ([[Wisdom of the Ages]]: 2 * M) + (Subscription: 0 or 200 or 400)'''}}

			Where:
⚫	So a character with a LOG and DIS stats of 100 would be able to hold 1000 (800 + 100 + 100) experience in their pool while one with LOG and DIS stats of 75 each would be able to hold 950 (800 + 75 + 75).

			* ''Wisdom of the Ages'' is +2 to total experience pool size per month you've maintained your subscription (and logged in at least once in that month for that character). For F2P accounts, this value is 0.

			* Characters on [[Premium subscription\|premium accounts]] get a 200 bonus to their experience pool size. This bonus is extended to 400 for platinum level accounts.

		⚫	So a character with a LOG and DIS stats of 100 would be able to hold 1000 (800 + 100 + 100) experience in their pool while one with LOG and DIS stats of 75 each would be able to hold 950 (800 + 75 + 75). A character with a platinum subscription of 2 years would have an experience pool of 1448 if they have 100 LOG and DIS stats.

	The '''long-term experience pool''' was introduced in 2016. Experience absorbed from the long-term pool is not increased by roleplaying awards, Gift of Lumnis, or other similar boosts. Experience in the long-term pool is normally absorbed at a rate of 250 experience points per day, but has no cap on the number of points that it can hold. Every night at midnight, characters with long-term experience stored will get one 250 ~~exp~~ pulse (they do not have to be online to get it).

	~~Aside~~ ~~from~~ the daily 250 experience point absorption, characters can ~~also~~ absorb long-term experience via continuing to absorb experience after the weekly Gift of Lumnis has expired.
