The Bonus XP Weekend will run from noon (GMT) Saturday 27th October to noon (GMT) Monday 29th October. I'm a member. How much bonus XP will I get? You'll get twice the XP you'd ordinarily earn from most skill training activities. Will the Bonus XP apply to training Summoning? Yes! You will receive double Summoning XP when training on members' worlds. I’m a free player! Will I receive bonus XP? Yep! Players on free worlds will benefit from a x1.2 XP boost. Will the XP modifier reduce over time as with previous bonus XP events? No! The bonus XP modifier is set at x2 for members' worlds and x1.2 for free worlds for the whole weekend. Note that members on free worlds will only receive the x1.2 modifier. How will other XP boosting items/effects work with the bonus XP? Items such as skill training pendants or skill gear training sets will work in addition to the Bonus XP Weekend's benefits. For example, if you were cutting normal trees while wearing the full lumberjack outfit during the weekend, your XP would be calculated as follows: The 25 XP normally received from cutting the tree would first benefit from the lumberjack boost, resulting in a bonus of 1.25 XP. The bonus XP modifier would then boost the standard 25 XP to 50 XP before adding the lumberjack bonus, totalling resulting in an end gain of 51.25 XP. The following items will work during the Bonus XP Weekend: Lumberjack outfit Golden mining suit Constructor’s outfit Black Ibis outfit Master runecrafter robes Fishing outfit Squeal of Fortune training sets: Artisan’s, Blacksmith’s, Botanist’s, Sous chef’s Squeal of Fortune skill training pendants Brawling gloves Loyalty Programme auras that give a percentage XP bonus, such as Salvation, Corruption and Harmony.
