DragonSam Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yayyy!! It'sa bonus experience weekend!!! Or not. It worked for me to get levels in Farming, Magic and Fletching within an hour or so. Great. So next I thought I'd get a Prayer level. I have a marble altar with two incense burners in my Player Owned House. I'm used to this giving me 300% (ie 3 times) the base exp rate for whatever I sacrifice there. So dragon bones, for instance, which have a base rate of 72 points, give me 216 points when I sacrifice them at the altar in my POH when I have the burners going. So I thought, "Wow, if I can usually get 216 for dragon bones, then I should get over 450 when the bonus multiplier works!". My bonus multiplier is at 2.2 right now. So I troop off with my dragon bones, two marrentil and a tinderbox, go to my chapel, light two burners, start sacrificing bones, and get ... 158 xp for each one. That's right, I got the weekend bonus multiplier times the base rate, with no bonus for using the POH altar. So I got less than I'd get normally. I tried it with infernal ashes too; same result. Less than I'd get normally, no apparent effect from the POH altar. So, unless someone can tell me something I'm doing wrong, the moral of the story is: don't waste bones or ashes at your POH altar at the moment. Best drop so far: Dragon Chainbody from a Dust Devil.

The bonus has never applied to altar.... there's even a giant sticky saying what it does and does not apply too... "And with the first round rapture draft pick, God selects......

Leik Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well, they did say in their blog that altars would not work during the weekend, so it's kinda your fault...

xpx Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 in before lock. Seriously, it's never worked, it's always been brought out by jagex and clearly stated that bonus xp(like the altar) isn't multiplied. If you haven't got that yet, you either can't read(unlikely) or are stupid. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.First to 4664 Port Score on 2.
