[Skyflipper0]

Umm when does this bonus xp end?

I hardly play when it's weekend, because you know .. it's weekend and then some people do .. other stuff lol

I bought 60k green d-leather but I guess I'll end up maxing crafting the "normal" way uhhh

It's a shame but I hope I can use my hours of bonus xp monday....

 

Cheers

I know you all think you've played a lot last friday, but I have played for 24 hours straight. Starting at 6:30 AM, and It's 6:30AM now

That kind of activity is very suspicious, usually indicative of a bot. Reported.

 

I lol'd.

The modifier will begin at 2.7x the usual rate of XP you would earn from standard training activities, and will decrease every 30 minutes (of in-game time) in line with the table below. Your multiplier will then remain at 1.1x

until the Bonus XP Weekend finishes on Monday.

Bladewing, +1 to you sir.

 

OT: I went from 78-80 Ranged in about an hour training on a slayer task. :) Did a bit of thieving, got 68 Summoning. (Finally.) I'm currently doing a hellhound task with my new favorite familiar. Not ranging it though, using melee. :P

[Serpent Eye]

Not sure what to do for the rest of the weekend to be honest, any suggestions (look at signature for skills :P)

99 Fletching :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think herblore/runecrafting have killed my right hand. ;___;

 

I cant take my usual 20 minute breaks without feeling like I'm wasting time with this timer thingy running. >.<

 

You can log out for your 20 min break you know, and the timer wont go down...

 

I know, its the whole bank pin eating up time that puts me off it though.

 

I had my xp counter on 93M before today, now it's down to 700k, thanks to the dungeoneering bug which made me have to reset it, oh well only another 5 months work thanks!! glad to see the weekend a huge success! sarcasm :thumbup:

 

Ouch man. :(

Would be annoyed if I was forced to reset mine.

[Youmu]

Remove your bank pin for exp weekend and after it put it back on again. Simple. :thumbup:

Only takes a few seconds to enter pin but I didn't log for hours too (I'm also paranoid)

So because people seem to be having glitchy trees, I'll still plant mine when I get the cash to do so. But..... Would you advise me to do agility? :)

I'd advise people to do whatever they don't like, and ones that you can't get bonus xp in regularly. Agility yes, Herblore yes, anything you can get the likes of SC tools for excluding mining, no :P

 

Greater appeal for skills, SC tools are too easy for the likes of construction & smithing.

[@Dan3HitU]

Not bad, got a couple of RC levels :)

Ah well for me I did smithing until it hit 1.9X I still now have 1.7X on the clock (Been agilitying for the past hour) and have logged out because of Rev Ork. But yeah..... Got me 94 smith and 267K from 95. So make that exception ;)

I had my xp counter on 93M before today, now it's down to 700k, thanks to the dungeoneering bug which made me have to reset it, oh well only another 5 months work thanks!! glad to see the weekend a huge success! sarcasm :thumbup:

 

Actually thanks for reminding me of that fact as I didnt get the extra xp weekend time. HOWEVER due to fact I couldnt log on when it first began I didnt do a dungeon either which meant I get to keep my xp counter xp.

 

All in all I think I prefer keeping my xp counter rather than 2 hours of extra 2.7 xp. I would of done a dungeon floor if I had been logged.

 

WIN! :thumbsup: Obviously those who were playing and didnt plan to do a dungeon floor got the most but I for me personally I would of done a dungeon floor and lost the counter.. :ohnoes:

 

Phew.

[Will H]

Screw this. I'm training Agility.

I didn't think about doing a dungeon before the counter went active, and I'm glad I didn't think of it. :P

Train whichever skill you want to; nobody's forcing you to train all those expensive skills. :P

Well the counter said 2147M, xp "Lots!" when finishing the floor basically max xp cap - no experience granted, 0 xp for floor total not even standard floor xp without the bonus which is what lead to the "Lots!" and the resetting of it so I could keep track of my overall xp gains again :P

362,353 RuneCrafting EXP (13,198 Essence) crafted at the Ourania Altar in 9h45... good or not? :unsure:

 

Got a mage level aswell from Teleporting to Lunar and back ^_^

Hmm.. hard to tell, the xp depends on your RuneCrafting level as you get higher you get more xp from the altar because better chance of higher runes, I'd say it's good for the 60 mark though ;)

9h45 for 13k essence? I moved 10k in approximately 4h40 ... :shock:

[Racheya]

^ And I thought he was insane for doing RC for that long... you're moving some fast xp there :S

 

I've done about 150k RC xp over about 4k ess so far in 2hr 30.

 

I'm 28% of my way to 77 though - I'm not sure that I'll get it all done before I reach 1.1 but I'll just keep going after that. I'm determined to be able to mage in DG again ;)
