This thread quotes some classic xp gains for bone chip quest, then has the working for how much xp the quest gives on p99 (at time of testing, I don't believe it has changed).

Basically, the values match.

I'm not 100% sure on the context on your post in that thread, but the other posters are spot on. The EXP should taper off completely by level 7 or so. It should not reward any EXP to a level 24. Just like Mouse said, that's how it worked on live during this era, and you had to switch to CB belts and then CB pads to make it to 12.

What? This is not like outlevelling mobs; it should reward 7k xp at every level (except 1-5, where it rewards less because the % of level you can earn at once cap).

Sure, at level 24 it is a drop in the ocean (0.3% per hand in, which might give the illusion of the quest not giving xp at that level), but xp never tapers off completely.

Definitely go bone chips if only because they are way easier to farm and stack to 20.

This seems to be the popular choice, although the reason I was looking for data on the belts was to see if it might be worth it for the later levels, 10-13. Per my calc, it will require about 35 stacks of bones to achieve that. Would love to save myself all the clicking if cost/farm time was close in comparison..

So on that note, any DFC belt data? Anyone?!

Well, I ended up going to bone chip route this morning. To my surprise, it only took 41-42 stacks to go from 5.0-13.0 as a half elf rogue.

Big props to xKoopa - the tip made it a lot less painless

Pro tip on bone chips

Bind something like ctrl + z to select center screen (u by default). Ctrl click bone chip to grab a single, ctrl z to put in trade window. Repeat 3 times then click trade

How many orc and gnoll scalps would it take instead of bone chips and deathfist belts to level?

You don't ever want to use scalps on a lvl 1-12. There is a max % of exp you can get at any time for a quest reward and the scalps at that low a level are completely wasted. Same goes for goblin ears before lvl 20 or so. It's just not worth it to turn them in when you get the same % of exp by doing bone chips.

That said I level my chanter to 30 without killing a single monster going from bone chips > gnoll scalps > orc scalps > goblin ears. But after using over 200 ears it wasn't worth the expense anymore.
