Whats more efficent for regular grinding?

Trying to math this out. In a general leveling situation(Killing mobs for x time) what would end up with a higher gain?

HE Battle Manual - 200% Exp for 15 minutes. Only comes in a box, 600KP. 5-6milish on Ymir market.
Battle Manual - 150% exp for 30 minutes. Comes solo and in a box aswell, 40KP/400KP. Haven't seen on market.

Given you have VIP, how do BMs stack up with the VIP bonus? And then given that, time wise + bonus wise, what is more?

Each box has 10. 400KP vx 600KP.

10x HEs = 2.5 Hours of 200% exp
10x BMs = 5 hours of 150% exp

Add in however bonuses stack with VIP...

Too much math. Just trying to figure out best kafra investment.

if you are looking for a zenny/exp ratio it depends how much exp you are making

normal bm's are most likely more efficient in that respect....

Hrm. id need to do the math. Is there some cutoff point between the two in regards to efficiency then?

And yes, they stack with VIP.

While a VIP person with manual gets 225%, a VIP person with HE manual gets 300%.

Always think about the kills per minute you do.

If you can make [about] 10000 exp per minute, you would get 300000 per HE manual [15 minutes], while you would get 450000 per normal manual [30 minutes].

So thinking about exp per hour, you would need 4 HE manuals to make 1200000 EXP, or 2 normal manuals to make 900000 EXP.

It depends of how much you could afford. If you can afford the HE manual [and want to level fast] use the HE manuals. If you can just buy default manuals [Or want to spend less zeny on the manuals], use it instead.

/omg I should do less math.
