LinkOlaran Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Going to keep this short, since I was in the middle of DG'ing. I started playing RS around when The World Wakes was released, and thus started playing regularly again. I noticed, however, that I have bonus xp available for various skills - namely, Dungeoneering, Fishing, Thieving, Runecrafting. I figured at first that this was from some sort of promotional/event thing I missed in the past half a year, so I just ignored it and kept playing. Except it hasn't gone away. I've gained well over 1M+ Dungeoneering XP since I started playing again, and it's still displaying that I have bonus XP remaining for it. Every floor I finish, it says I've used up all bonus XP for that skill, yet when I hover over it again in my skills tab, it says I still have more bonus XP remaining - different number every time, but never above 2K as far as I've seen. I've observed the XP splash at the end of the floor for DG experience, and it states I am gaining bonus XP eqivalent to what it said in the skills tab. The other skills that display bonus XP do the same thing, as far as I've experienced. I could provide a screenshot if necessary, but it'd just display a before and after of my bonus XP from doing a floor. Is this some form of weird glitch? Or is something else going on? Frankly, I'm not complaining (bonus XP is XP, after all...), but I'd like to know if this is a glitch and I should be attempting to contact Jagex to fix it.

I've had the same issue, however I only get it in skills that are at the Citadel, WC Fming Mining Smithing Crafting and Summoning. I haven't got a fricken clue what its from. It usually resets once a week and I use it up at the citadel again.

Rinc3Wind Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I never heard of this, very strange. My clanmates haven't said anything either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkOlaran Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 The funny thing is, it disappeared from my Dungeoneering skill when I tried taking a before/after screenshot. And today, it's back. Very unusual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I've heard of this, alongside random massive xp pop-ups when logging on. As far as I am aware they are both just display bugs and you don't actually get the extra xp Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkOlaran Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I ended up reporting the glitch. I haven't tested to see if it was just a visual bug or if I'm actually gaining the bonus experience yet... I should test it and see, I suppose.

LinkOlaran Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hate to double post, but I don't think editing my previous post would cause people to reread this topic. I seem to have figured out where this bonus XP is coming from. Sometime last year, I referred a friend to buy membership, and got the bonus xp from that - but I never activated it, since I was saving it for something (likely construction). As it turns out, Jagex changed the way RAF operates. Now, it seems to be a permanent xp boost, except I only gain bonus xp when the person I recruited gains xp in that skill. So if they train... woodcutting, I'll gain bonus xp in woodcutting. Kinda glad this wasn't a glitch. And not only that, I get free xp out of the deal, which I never expected. As a reference, the page on RAF is here: http://services.rune...Friend#XP_Bonus In case you wanted a more detailed explanation. I'm not the best at explaining things clearly, so... :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elof_X Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi all, I am hoping someone might be able to help me (trying to find out answers in-game is next to impossible.) I have a similar problem in that I have bonus xp showing in my smithing skill, and it isn't getting used up either. But, I put it there by getting a lamp from the Wheel of Fortune spins as a f2p player, not by referring someone. How do I get to use this bonus xp and/or where would I be able to read up about it instead? Thanks so much in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
