02-Sep-2011 - Bonus XP Weekend - 9th to 12th of September

Still don't get why Summoning can't be trained at full bonus (aside from that people whined after the first BXPW, but people whine about every one of them...).

How is stocking charms different from stocking herb ingredients? They're both just practically XP saved up...

 

this isn't my logic

 

but you can buy all your preparation for EVERY other skill (assuming preparation is required) in seconds. summoning is the only skill where this is not true. yes, depending on the markets you might not get your herblore supplies instantly, but the same applies to summoning seconds, making that point null.

 

the simple fact is that if i charm gather for a few months, theres no way you can match me in the 2 weeks prep time jagex gives you.

 

however if i stocked herbs for months, you could reasonably match my stock in 2 weeks, given that you had the money.

And considering that money, like herblore and summoning supplies, is tradeable (= lendable) in nearly 0 time (charms can be lootshared but that takes a long while), and that people tend to stockpile money rather than charms even in between xp weekends, it's very different to give money an advantage than giving charms an advantage.

 

Good first day of the weekend for me, con isn't as fast as I hoped but not slower than I expected, 85-91 in three hours. Tomorrow 91-93 con and 87-89 fletch hopefully.

Yeah I planned on going from 42-70 Con and holy heck it was a ton slower than I expected. I ended up switching to Mahogany (was doing Oak Larders) for 68-70. Its horrifying to think of it at 90+

Completed all BXPW goals in just over 10hrs. I waited til I was done with 10hrs before getting two Summoning levels, but before that I went from 61 to 70 Hunter, 68 to 72 Agility, and of course Farming run got me a couple levels.

 

All in all good stuff, I had very moderate goals this weekend, and to reward myself, I bought a very cheap Fury :)

 

I guess the rest of the weekend I'll just do Agility at 1.1x til I get bored. Gotta be ready for RotM

Logged into a F2P world with my P2P account and cooking a tuna gave me 270 xp. Seriously JaGEx?

99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me!

The DG bonus xp went through fine for me, including lagout/gravecreeper kick. While the dg end screen showed for eg 90k, my counter ticked over 162k.

Only earned 3 million something in Attack XP, training on the 9th day. All worlds will be crowded as hell on the weekends. :(

 

Enjoy your Bonus XP and have fun! ;)

DC'd and lost 500k DG xp and 400k~ Farm Xp on the counter.. but it still took the 7 mins off for them. :(

 

So it only has the 5m con and 1m~ herb xp bonuses with 7 extra minutes.

You do realise that "Bonus xp" marker counts only the current session?

Everytime you log off it clears back to 0.

You didn't lose anything.

He's saying that his Bonus XP recorded could have been higher if he hadn't disconnected.

 

I thought he meant he'd lost the xp all together as he d/ced hence the "But it still took 7 minutes off for them :("

Yay, a good opportunity for me to train hunting, a skill that I've long neglected. So far gotten 88-91 hunter in 3 hours 30 min. Planning to get 93, and then get 93 thieving to and start on mining (probably won't have time for mining). With all those 93, and agility through some pengs/effigies/trollinvasion/circus I'll have all skills above 93 :-).

 

I'm kinda sad though I don't have any uber quick xp buyables left (like herblore and con), cause it feels almost like a waste not do those. Was a blast getting 90-99 con in a bit over an hour last xp weekend (long and curved bones).

Managed roughly 5m exp yesterday, including 3.8m DG exp and ~500k Farming exp. Still have 1.5 hours left before it drops it 1.1x. Hope I can do another 20 hours or so before the weekend ends. :P

Managed to get 91-95 herblore. I can now use greenmans ale to ovl :D

 

If only I had a bit of money left over for torstols. Might hit MTK, I don't really want to sell items as I'm happy with 95 herblore.

 

No idea what else to train... RC maybe but cbf to get my bank geared ZMI style, plus I don't have too much cash left. Agil could work.... agil also has the horn, but it could still work...

[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.

Was trying to say the counter would have been more impressive with 4.5m in 1:24 instead of 3.8m :P I know I got the xp, but it didn't show it on the counter after I Dc'd

Used like 3.5 hours so far

79 > 81 farming

77 > 80 construction (very close to 81 so I'll get that when I turn in con rocks and do some house upgrades)

77 > 78 rc, nearing 79

 

Pretty good progress me feels

I spent the first half hour to get the last 1m xp to get me to 99 herb.

Then switched to smithing, where I went from 91 to 95.

Then got a fletching and agility level, and decided to make the air battlestaves I had in my bank, waiting for the counter to drop to 1.1 to start some summoning.

I'm glad all those addy bars are gone now.
