XP Grind Efficiency
Compare XP/hr efficiency across two methods.
A to B = 4:3 (1 as decimal).
XP Efficiency
Method A / B = relative efficiency. 1.5× better grind saves 33% of total time. Most "fastest XP" guides assume optimal play; halve their numbers for realistic estimates.
Worked Example
100000 A to 75000 B
- a
- 100000
- b
- 75000
- Result
- 4:3 (1.33)
100000 / 75000 = 1.33. Simplified: 4:3.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the XP Grind Efficiency computed?
A divided by B, plus a simplified ratio (e.g., 4:3) using greatest common divisor. Both decimal and ratio forms are useful in different contexts: decimal for math, ratio form for comparisons or recipe scaling.
What does A:B mean?
It's a comparison: for every B unit, you have a corresponding amount of A. Useful when the absolute numbers matter less than the proportion (e.g., reading 8:1 LTV/CAC immediately tells you the unit economics are healthy without needing the dollar amounts).
Why simplify the ratio?
4:3 is more readable than 200:150. The simplified form (using greatest common divisor) preserves the proportion while making it easier to interpret. Common simplified ratios: 16:9 (widescreen), 4:3 (legacy displays), 3:1 (LTV:CAC for SaaS).
When is a ratio more useful than the absolute values?
Comparison across scales. A $1B company and a $1M company can both have a 3:1 LTV:CAC; the ratio reveals comparable unit economics regardless of scale. Use ratios for benchmarking; use absolute numbers for budgeting.
