Ok, can anyone explain the experience table on the wiki?

I feel like it looks self explanatory.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Experience_table

But I don't know if I understand.

For example level 1:
Level: 1 multiplier; xp to complete 1,000; 75 xp per kill of this level monster, makes sense so ~14 whites, less yellows.

Where I am starting to get confused the more I look at it is the multipliers. I have a char at level 54 and a char at 55 currently. Some things I've read on the web say 54 and 59 are worse than 55-58 (individually) but it sure doesn't look like that on this chart, and I am not sure I felt that on my char after hitting 55.

So what exactly does the multiplier mean, and why would people say that 54 is harder than 55 when it takes 4 million less experience points? Or were they just wrong?

Multiplier at 54 is 1.9 versus 2.1 at 55.

With that said, when I know a mobs con this chart seems fairly accurate (at 54) with how many blues at a given level it takes to make 1%.
