Rewards
Nomad (or Zimberfizz after completing Nomad's Requiem) exchanges Zeal points into combat or Slayer experience, Summoning charms or slayer pets. Players may also gamble their points for a random item.
Experience rewards
One point can be exchanged for a set amount of experience. This is becoming a more common way to train combat, and even a way for skillers to level slayer. (Here "floor" means "round down to the nearest whole number"). There is also a 10% bonus of experience when you spend 100 Zeal at a time. The bonus is dependent on the base level that the experience was used during.
- Attack, Strength, Defence and Constitution experience are counted with the following formula: or your level squared divided by 600 rounded down to a whole number and then multiplied by 525.
- Magic and Ranged experience are counted with the following formula: or your level squared divided by 600 rounded down to a whole number and then multiplied by 480.
- Prayer experience is counted with the following formula: or your level squared divided by 600 rounded down to a whole number and then multiplied by 270.
Please note that the amount of experience gained at specific levels for slayer is under investigation at the moment; please see the Soul Wars talk page for more information or to contribute.
For calculators for the experience gained for zeal, see Soul Wars/Rewards#Calculators.

Trivia

- The word 'Zeal' is derived from Old French 'zel', which is in turn derived from Latin 'zelus' which is in turn derived from Greek. It is cognate with the Dutch word 'ziel', which means 'soul'.
