I didn't see anything in the guide about this, but I think wearing the costume you get as a reward from the circus and nothing else(particularly the lowest reward(the peasant costume)) while you're doing the circus could give you a bonus exp at the end of a performance. For example, I wore the peasant costume and nothing else and got 2.5k exp for 293 points on the agility one, 3k for 190 points on the ranged one, and 6k for 942 points on the magic one. My levels are 48 agility, 51 ranged, and 63 magic. Now I don't know if the higher circus costumes will give better exp or what, but I can't believe nobody has noticed this before. Don't ask me for a screenshot, cause it'll take me another week to get one, or a few.

We have taken a great deal of data on circus xp, and the xp seems to be related to the specific manoeuvre you select, and your level in that skill. Costumes and emotes do not seem to affect xp.

 

 

 

The costumes and emotes are likely to affect the POINTS you get, which of course affect what costume reward you may receive.

 

 

 

Please study carefully the Tips and Tricks section of our guide to maximize your points to get the best costumes. Doing emotes in between each activity, wearing costumes, and possibly even using skill boosters may help. At your level I would suggest starting at level 10, emote, level 20, emote, and on up. You get no xp for repeating a level that you have already done successfully, and you can get good xp if you get "lucky" and manage to do a higher one, so go ahead and try for several above your level as well.

 

 

 

In ongoing investigations, TIF user Maddie has determined that Edgeville audiences like the "Trick" emote.

 

 

 

Without trying two different costumes, I'm not sure what you are basing your suggestion on. Please do post again, researching the circus is a very long-term task so waiting weeks for more data is not unusual.

I was just saying that it gave me the exp bonus at the end of the performance. But is it that all the experience for each move is saved until the end and given to you as that bonus? cause I dont remember that bonus being there the other times I did the circus.

I think there was a recent update that Jagex put in that shows how much experience you earned during each whole performance. I took notes after each feat during the performances and was awarded points and the number of points shown in the message after the performance seemed to be equal to the number of experience earned for all ten feats.

 

 

 

I think that's what you're referring to, correct? The message at the end? If not, then maybe it's the experience you are seeing for successfully completing the last of your feats during each performance that is confusing you?

yep I think that's what I'm talking about.
