Herblore and Bonus xp weekend.

[Oggymasta]

Hey,

 

Ive heard some stuff going on about the bonus weekend not supporting >Every< skill, for example Herblore and Summoning..

 

Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? i couldnt find any info on it myselve..

Summoning has been maxed out at 110% xp instead of the normal multiplier given. I'm pretty sure that herblore is still normal.

i think the only skill is summoning, but it still recieves 1.1x exp for the whole weekend, if you plan on summoning do it after your modifier gets to 1.1, to my knowledge herblore will still start at 2.7

From the Development Blog:

 

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 combat

* Ranged - ranged combat, Circus

* Magic - magic combat and other spell casting (e.g. enchanting jewellery, alchemy, teleporting), Circus

* Defence and Constitution - from all forms of combat

* Agility - completing courses, using shortcuts, Circus

* Construction - building furniture in your POH

* Cooking - cooking food on range/fire/spit

* Crafting - crafting pots, armour, jewellery, battlestaves, blowing glass

* Dungeoneering - 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 shades

* Fishing - catching fish

* Fletching - fletching bows/arrows/crossbows/bolts, etc

* Herblore - cleaning herbs, mixing potions (including finishing off unfinished potions)

* Hunter - setting/checking traps, butterfly/bird/impling catching, falconry

* Mining - mining ores/gems, mining shooting stars

* Prayer - burying bones, burning shades

* Runecrafting - crafting runes at any altar (including ZMI/Ourania Altar), combination runes, crafting tiaras

* Thieving - pickpocketing, thieving from chests/stalls, Pyramid Plunder

* Woodcutting - 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.

 

Herblore will get the bonus experience as usual but summoning will be limited to 1.1x experience all weekend long.
