I've been trying to power level while working by periodically doing bounties to stay saturated.
Surprisingly, doing the bounties themselves don't interrupt my work all that much. What's really killing my focus is switching over to GS every 2 minutes to do an exp check and see if I've dropped down to fried so I can turn in my bounty.
Ideally, I'd know exactly how much time will need to pass before I can turn in my next bounty. That way I can just set a timer, and put GS out of my mind while I crank out work for the next 10-15 minutes or however long it is.
After looking at Krakiipedia, I've taken a stab at this.
Half-Elf Ranger with 81 (+15 bonus) Logic and 90 (+15 bonus) Discipline.
This would give me an experience pool of 971. Let's assume I'm not gifting, and I've just turned in a 600 exp bounty while fried. Presumably, this would mean I'd immediately absorb 300 exp, then the remaining 300 get dropped into my pool, bringing the total up to 1271.
I then absorb this at a rate of 21 exp for the first pulse. This absorption rate declines as the pool decreases, until it drops to 20 exp per pulse (does this round up/down or does the came just drop decimals?) when the pool drops to 1186. If I want to stay fried, the absorption rate will never drop below 20 exp, so for simplicity's sake, let's just use 20.5 exp as the average rate.
So the total absorption time required in this scenario would be 2*(1271-971)/20.5. Or more generically, PulseTime*(SaturatedPool-FriedPool)/AvgAbsorptionRate.
Am I completely off base here? This gives me a rest time of 47 minutes to go from saturated to fried after a 600 exp bounty. Just from experience, this seems a bit on the long side...
