Mil Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 http://services.rune...h-to-13th-march We're happy to announce that an extended Bonus XP Weekend will be running from the 11th to 13th March 2011! Members should stock up on planks, potion ingredients, raw materials and more in preparation to get the most out of the three days. Once the Bonus XP Weekend begins on Friday 11th March, the XP modifier will come into effect for all members. The modifier will begin at x2.7 the rate of XP you would earn from standard training activities, and will drop to a new multiplier every 30 minutes of game time. The table below should help with any preparations you want to make: 0-30 minutes: 2.7x30-60minutes: 2.55x60-90 minutes: 2.4x90-120 minutes: 2.25x120-150 minutes: 2.1x150-180 minutes: 2.0x180-210 minutes: 1.9x210-240 minutes: 1.8x240-270 minutes: 1.7x270-300 minutes: 1.6x300-330 minutes: 1.5x330-360 minutes: 1.45x360-390 minutes: 1.4x390-420 minutes: 1.35x420-450 minutes: 1.3x450-480 minutes: 1.25x480-510 minutes: 1.2x510-540 minutes: 1.175x540-570 minutes: 1.15570-600 minutes: 1.125xSummoning XP will be boosted by a set percentage of 10% over the course of the four days; all other skills will follow the schedule noted in the table above. To get a clearer idea of what actions will and will not be modified by the Bonus XP Weekend, and for more information in general, please read this developer blog. [spoiler=DevBlog] From Friday 11th to Sunday 13th March, we will be running our third Bonus XP Weekend for RuneScape members. We've put together this blog as more of an FAQ to answer any questions about the weekend and we will be around on the forums to answer any further questions that come up. What exactly is a Bonus XP Weekend?As the name implies, there will be the opportunity to gain extra XP for standard training activities over the course of the Bonus XP Weekend. When will this be happening?The event will begin at 12:00PM BST (noon) on Friday 11th March and will run until the end of Sunday 13th March. These times are a rough estimate, but we will put a newspost out as soon as the event starts. I don't use BST (or GMT)! Tell me what time this will be in my country.Please use the handy and helpful Time Conversion Thread to work out the time of the event in your region. How does the bonus XP work?When you log in over the course of the Bonus XP Weekend, you will receive a multiplier on any standard training activity you perform as you play. This multiplier will begin at 2.7x what you would usually earn for any "normal training" activities (see list below), and will decrease every thirty minutes of game time until it reaches 1.1x, at which it will remain for the rest of the Bonus XP Weekend. Here is what the multiplier will be for each thirty minutes of in-game time: 0-30 minutes: 2.7x30-60minutes: 2.55x60-90 minutes: 2.4x90-120 minutes: 2.25x120-150 minutes: 2.1x150-180 minutes: 2.0x180-210 minutes: 1.9x210-240 minutes: 1.8x240-270 minutes: 1.7x270-300 minutes: 1.6x300-330 minutes: 1.5x330-360 minutes: 1.45x360-390 minutes: 1.4x390-420 minutes: 1.35x420-450 minutes: 1.3x450-480 minutes: 1.25x480-510 minutes: 1.2x510-540 minutes: 1.175x540-570 minutes: 1.15570-600 minutes: 1.125xYour bonus XP rate will NOT decrease if you are in the Lobby or if you are not logged into the game, so do not feel pressured to play continuously. The XP button next to the mini-map will change to an XP+ button for the duration of the weekend, so you be able to keep track of all the extra XP that you are earning. What activities will earn me bonus XP?Normal training activities will earn you the bonus XP. Every fight, log cut or hunter trap you lay will grant you a multiple of the XP it would normally give. Typical training activities for each skill (not an exhaustive list): Attack and Strength - melee combatRanged - ranged combat, CircusMagic - magic combat and other spell casting (e.g. enchanting jewellery, alchemy, teleporting), CircusDefence and Constitution - from all forms of combatAgility - completing courses, using shortcuts, CircusConstruction - building furniture in your POHCooking - cooking food on range/fire/spitCrafting - crafting pots, armour, jewellery, battlestaves, blowing glassDungeoneering - completing dungeons~Farming - weeding, planting/harvesting crops, checking tree health (even on trees grown before Bonus XP Weekend)Firemaking - lighting fires, burning evil tree roots, lighting beacons, burning shadesFishing - catching fishFletching - fletching bows/arrows/crossbows/bolts, etcHerblore - cleaning herbs, mixing potions (including finishing off unfinished potions)Hunter - setting/checking traps, butterfly/bird/impling catching, falconryMining - mining ores/gems, mining shooting starsPrayer - burying bones, burning shadesRunecrafting - crafting runes at any altar (including ZMI/Ourania Altar), combination runes, crafting tiarasSlayer - doing Slayer tasksSmithing - smelting ores, smithing metal barsSummoning - infusing pouches, summoning familiars*Thieving - pickpocketing, thieving from chests/stalls, Pyramid PlunderWoodcutting - cutting trees/evil trees ~The bonus XP multiplier will be applied after all other Dungeoneering modifiers. The tokens you earn from a dungeon will be based on the actual XP you receive from a dungeon before the bonus XP modifies it. Dungeoneering tokens will still only be worth 1XP each if traded in with the rewards NPC. For example, if you complete a dungeon while the bonus XP modifier is at 2.7x and get 10,000XP and 1,000 tokens, you will actually receive 27,000 Dungeoneering XP in total, but still only 1,000 tokens. *Due to the nature of how the Summoning skill is trained, it will receive only a flat multiplier of 1.1x for these activities over the course of this entire Bonus XP Weekend. http://services.rune....ws?post_id=114 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodAngel Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I always got the feeling from reading around after the other BXP Weekends that the majority of the RS Community didn't want these? Ah well, I have 4 months of herbs from MTK stored in my bank so it would be wrong of me not to take advantage of the panic buying :P "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."

Dragondan_Ro Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I guess most people's reaction when they find out everything is already unbuyable would be somewhat like this: Removed video with swearing ~ Jimmy_Jim Give a man a lighter, and he will be warm for a while.Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.
