How are you preparing for Bonus XP Weekend?

Recommended Posts

Well personally I'm combining herb runs (Chaos Druids) with Manage thy Kingdom (All herbs, 5 on maples) and I plan on selling all my herbs/seeds/nests.

 

I'm thinking of selling my stuff on the Sunday of that week since I've heard about how everything crashed last year two days before the weekend. I just want to be safe by selling a bit early just in case everything crashes early.

 

What are you guys doing? Collectors, when are you selling? Skillers/Fighters what are you training?

 

I also have no Idea what to train on that weekend.

The other thread doesn't specifically address this topic but there's no need to create 1000 threads all addressing different parts of the same issue.

 

There are tons of people offering advice/asking for advice/telling what they're going to do for bonus exp weekend.

 

For the most part it seem - people are going to be training those money sucking or time intensive skills - namely: Construction, Herblore, Summoning, and Agility.

There are the most popular ones I've seen as of now.

 

I'll probably wait till after bonus exp weekend to do herblore - I'm just farming/selling my herbs now and wait til prices crash before I buy back herbs.

I'll definately be training construction (gotta get to that altar!) and after that - work on some odd and ends. When the 10 hours expire, I'll then go get my summoning to 68 for Bunyip. Hunting those charms now is a bisch though.

I had saved a few herbs from MTK but nothing major, but I sold up some stuff and should manage to get 93 Herblore if I've calculated everything correctly. After that I'll just fletch which was what I was going to do before I found my saved herbs.

No reason not to test the herb market and sell now, since the guide price doesn't have to rise to keep up with demand in the free market. Just keep an eye on what different herbs are going for and sell when you think is best, I think a lot of people are going to be selling their stuff even earlier than last year since everyone knows about the crash 2 days prior to the BXPW.

I've had my MTK stocked up for about 3 months anticipating another weekend, and hurrah! it's here. So I'll probably be doing herb till 91/92 then either firemaking or thieving. Also, at the beginning of the weekend I will check all my Magic trees and Papaya trees and plant new ones. Then log back on Saturday night and check them again, then start with herblore :P

99 Theving

Slayer Drops: 14 whips, 22 D boots, 27 Granite Mauls, 42 Effigies, 5 Dark Bows.

What would be cool is if Drakan and his minions kill all the sig heroes in the quest except Raptor who is wrecking. You and him team up and cave in some vampyre heads. He becomes a total bro in future quests and in a GM quest he receives a fatal injury and his last dying words to you are "Brofist, mang"

I'm collecting Obsidian Charms (300 to go) for Lava Titan pouches. Furthermore I'm busy Dungeoneering to earn 20k tokens for the Scroll of Cleansing (Wasteless Herblore) while farming Snapdragons with Juju Potions.

 

When I got my Scroll of Cleansing, I'll make my Snapdragons and other herbs in unf pots, and make Prayer Potions until Herblore 81 or so. Will sell those Prayer Potions quite expensive, and be ready to 2.7x my Saradomin Brews and Super Restore Potions. Hopefully I'll end near 85 Herblore.

 

If I got preparation time leftover, I'll probably plank some Teak Logs. At the sunday I'll be Summoning.

First half an hour:

-Check health on 2 Spirit Trees

-Check health on 5 Magic Trees

-Check Health on 6 Palm Trees

-Check Health on a Calquat Tree

-Check Health on Cactus

-Check Health on 5 poison ivy bushes and pick the berries

-Torstols farm run

 

That should net me over 450k farming XP :)

 

After that, I'll do some construction, bought 85k oak planks (Hopefully 99)

I might take breaks to make some air battlestaves (Been saving the daily 80 ones)

And to end it, smith 20k mithril bars which should get me 90 Smithing, maybe a bit more :P

I've already calculated just a tree run with two spirits, and it's about 485k xp. You should get about 530 with that :)

Staking for money to buy herblore then gonna do summoning when I'm at 1.1x.

 

Also gonna do some farm runs, starting to farm a lot more now since I have the money to train it. Before its like omg I only have like 20-70m I can't afford this :| But now... well yeah. I've staked.

Started free trade with 1.5m cash. 2 weeks later, have hit max cash 2x.

 

PvP drops: 359 Brawling Gloves, 11 Vesta's Longswords, 41+ Zaros/Ancient Statues

Sold stuff, spent money on herblore, bought stuff for herblore, went to TDs, got a TD head (all of the dragon chucnks they drop are part of their body) and claw drop, sold that, spent more on herblore. Hoping to get enough money for 1k spec restores, super antifires, super att/str pots. Or maybe I'll try to get 500 of em or something. Right now I'm looking at 2.5k+ super def pots and 6k+ super attack pots. (I'm making more unf pots then I got the supps for, due to scroll of cleansing - so after I make my unf pots I'm buying more secondaries.)

 

Tl;dr

 

Herblore, making money for herblore, more herblore.

Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.
[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

I'm doing Herblore and Summoning. I'm not sure what I'm doing between those though. I'm thinking either Ape Atoll or hunting butterflies.

Got some herbs I bought a few weeks before it was announced, so I decided to save them, plus my MTK herbs...plant some trees beforehand...that's about it.

Can't afford 1k torstols yet, so after I've got 1k of each extreme I'll just slowly make them into overloads once the weekend's over probably.

 

Gonna do a farm run at the start of the weekend too, for schmidts and giggles

As soon as the weekend starts: Cash in my stack of ~20 or so combined long and curved bones with the Dorgesh Kaan goblin guy, which will net me 71->72 Construction.

Teleport to Ourania, and spend the 10 hours runecrafting at ZMI. Estimated levels: 66->73 Runecrafting.

Then, head to Castle Wars bank to commence turning 18k+ charms into pouches. Currently the levels gained will be 79->93 Summoning, however I will continue to slay up until the weekend starts, so I may squeeze out one or two more levels. Ideally three.

After that, I don't know. I've kicked around a couple of ideas (getting to 75 or even 77 RC, Agility, Fishing, Herblore if I can buy supplies cheap enough a day or two before to make it worthwhile, Mining, etc.) but nothing is set in stone yet. One thing I will NOT be doing is slaying; I've been doing it close to nonstop since the last weekend saving up charms and I will be taking a break from slaying for the time being.

 

So at least 22 levels, and likely even more than that. 2100 total is quite close indeed.

Gonna train rc and agility.

 

Trained enough Herblore last bonus xp weekend so I'll probably sell my herbs, which would profit me about 18m.
