12-Mar-2010 - Bonus XP Weekend!

Recommended Posts

for people who want to help calculate the actual xp formula, it would help if you post the multiplier & time immediately after the multiplier lowers

They already gave use the formula, no need to bug people for their .

just put a X instead of "hours logged in" and use a calculator

 

 

please read the topic again.

 

the formula they gave us is not evaluated with high accuracy, so the multiplier you receive is up to .15 less than it should be (though tends toward zero)

 

here is the current quadratic regression based on data from people here:

Okay - Jagex isn't stupid. They can program a silly quadratic, and a .15 rounding error is way too big to be overlooked.

 

I'm quite sure that the xp nerf was intentional.

Mmmm so I've been in game for an hour and 15 mins, my modifier says 2.3x and yet I'm only getting 45xp per iron ore? Am I missing something?

45xp+35=80 aka normal xp + bonus xp = total xp

80/2.3=35 xp

 

your getting 80 xp per ore so you are getting the correct ammount

Iron Ore standard experience is 35xp per ore. 2.3x that is 80.5xp, that's what you're getting overall. The 45xp displayed at the top-right is the extra experience you're getting for the action. So, for Iron ore - that's 80.5 - 35 = 45.5, rounded down to 45.

 

Woops, already posted. ;)

The problem with that is the the Xp is not a quadratic, its an exponential function

no it is not. it is a piecewise function composed of a quadratic for the first ten hours, and a LINE for the remaining time.

buddy, where are in limits for a piece wise, do u see them??? this is an exponential, there no limits so it cant be a piece wise. But if u wanna call it a piece wise, go ahead

^ I laughed at this comment

 

Anyway, I'm surprised at just how many people are training summoning. I'm thinking that there will be an additional 50K 88+ summoners now. This is pretty huge! Wonder if itll drop boss item prices in the long run, since every noob and his brother will have a uni by the end of today.

 

I'm also thinking dragon and dag bone prices will drop in the long run, since more and more people are getting yaks and yaks are amazing for gathering d bones.

Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.

2.1 mill exp in 3 hours across summoning (6 lvls), herblore and farming.

 

Taking a break now because I feel knackered - really intense playing against the clock like that!

 

If you had a load of blue charms and seconds you were getting amazing exp - i had 2 levels in 15 mins (78- 80) and others were getting huge amounts.

 

The only problem I see with this for me is that I will now stockpile charms until the next xp weekend - my summoning might be static for another 6 months, if we ever get another one.

 

RC then agility next :)

The experience tracker at RuneScript is starting to grow exponentially.

 

By the time I wake up from my deep, deep sleep on Friday, I expect to fall probably 15,000 ranks in about everything. *shrug*

 

Protip: Try to avoid CW, try a quieter bank like...Moon Clan or something.

 

 

 

I fell 4,000 ranksfrom when I checked my summon rank last night, and right now. XD

I have all the 99s, and have been playing since 2001. Comped 4/30/15 

My Araxxi Kills: 459::Araxxi Drops(KC):

Araxxi Hilts: 4x Eye (14/126/149/459), Web - (100) Fang (193)

Araxxi Legs Completed: 5 ---Top (69/206/234/292/361), Middle (163/176/278/343/395), Bottom (135/256/350/359/397)
Boss Pets: Supreme - 848 KC

I highly doubt there will be another xp weekend. this one was mainly an experiment -- a one time deal. furthermore, this one was probably implemented to be a one-time money sink for the huge inflation problems we had.

the complications that arose in the GE, and the pretty outspoken population against this update, will probably discourage jagex from doing another xp weekend.

 

also, jagex nerfed the xp rate intentionally most likely. this is another sign they want to tone down the xp boosting.

Well I generally stock pile my charms and the like so if it happens it happens and I'll get more summoning levels. But anyways, dunno if it will happen again though. Most of the RSOF and even here were all like flipping jagex. So could probably be a no..... If that's the case I'll get my 89/90 summoning this weekend then spend time slaying and hopefully by 90 slayer I might have some of the charms towards a pack yak....... Probably be way off though.

 

However Jagex didn't intend for this to happen with the GE, like the 2nds being bought out. Which is why I think that Mod Fnord said that in future ones it'd affect summoning differently (don't ask me where to find where he says it, I took that information from the other exp/screenshot thread where Peronix said about it).

 

Anyways, any more CW pics? I really wana know what W2 CW is like.

I created a tracker yesterday evening, based off the Adventurer's Logs experience values, was primarily aimed at tracking my Agility / other skills without logging off.

 

As a rough indication, these were the values from last night :-
