Not a big deal but kind of annoying when you're close to 100% respect and you start smithing an elder rune burial.

PS: Does Fally Shield 4 actually increase EXP 5%? According to RS Wiki it does. I equipped and unequipped but got exactly same exp drops.

This is intentional. You used to get it per strike, but because it rounds down (due to the way RS works) you ended up missing out on huge amounts of respect. By saving it until the end, you always get the full amount you should.
