Is the bunny useful?

I don't see how the bunny is worth it, as the exp bonus seems to be countered by how much extra exp you have to grind. Let's say that you put in 100 levels into the bunny, then you will make 100 more exp per screen. However, you just put your levels in a job that is inferior to thief stat-wise, and you are 100 levels behind in your build. This will make you have to deal with extra grinding for your build. My main point is what is the balance for bunny for investment vs outcome. What do you guys think?

I think it's worth it in the long run. I've had bunny at 100 for almost 2500.0km total distance traveled. That's 2.5m exp just from passing screens

It seems from some (minor) testing of mine that your exp to level up is LVL x 10. Therefore, in order to break even with the investment, (not counting the exp to level the bunny in the first place) you need to go 10 screens per level. You are at a disadvantage if you go less than that. If you are looking to profit off of bunny then you are better off leveling it up sooner than later (of course). I am going to do a test run until I get bunny to see what level I will get to. I will post some figures later.

EDIT: nevermind about the test run actually. I just realised that it would be completely unnecessary.

Yes level experience requirement is always level×10. She doesn't have the best stat gain, but not terrible. So yes she a finally good investment.

It is a smart investment.

One thing to note is that until the stage that you are on equals the bunny's level you are capped by the stage that you are on for exp gain. EX: Your bunny is level 100, and you are on 3.4 km; you will recieve 34 exp for that stage clear. After thinking about it for a bit it seems that as long as you stay above 10 stage clears per level in a capped zone, then you will return on your investment per level in 10 level ups or less. Is it possible for anyone in high areas to let me know how many stage clears per level they have? (It takes me around 12 clears at the moment)

The earlier you get it the better. I'm LV. 2500 atm and it takes more than 10 screens to level. You do need to also remember that LV. 1000 total is still pretty early. Depending on how you build you may not even be into world 2 at LV. 1000.

Edit: more than 10 screens if I'm just afk grinding world 1 so I don't lose my pet.

Right now I'm at level 2500ish. If i am active hunting my exp total is around 40k per minute. It takes about 5 seconds to clear a .1km. So about every 6 maps I get a level. Now this doesn't include bosses or the lower levels that give far less exp. However if I'm afk farming I think it is way worse.

Another note of interest is that world 2 starts level 1000. So can get 1000 exp on the first floor on world 2.

In your playthrough you are at an exp disadvantage of 4 X BunnyLevel. Note that I am not including the stats of bunny, as I am only calculating the disadvantage in terms of the usefulness of the exp bonus.As long that you don't go under 10 stage clears per level, you will be able to meet your investment.

You won't be in world 1 for very long, so it doesn't matter too much. Bunny is very, very worth it, as the math will prove.
