Bonus XP Guide
(updated on 2013-8-27)

Some skills are slower or more expensive than others. Fortunately, there are also Bonus XP help player to go through the painful time. This guide lists Bonus XP that will apply to any skill of your choice.

WARNING: Some items can’t be banked, and Jagex may not unlock all these Bonus XP for the new skill. Do your research before using the following methods.

• Tears of Guthix
• Penguin Hide and Seek
• Troll Invasion
• Ancient Effigy
• Clan Avatar
• Daily Challenge
• Aura
• Squeal of Fortune
• Recruit A Friend
• Quest XP Reward
• Task XP Reward

Tears of Guthix

This weekly mini-game rewards XP to player’s lowest skill.

Requirement:
Completed the Tears of Guthix quest
Gained either 100K XP or one quest point since last time played

Recommend:
Use games necklace for quick teleport
80 Mining & 80 Crafting for ornate bowl
Training the lowest skill level to 30 (or 50 if access to ornate bowl) for maximum XP
Higher quest points for longer game time (0.6 second per quest point, capped at 3 minutes with 300 quest points)

How to play:
Player will collect blue tears while avoid green tears before timeup. Each tear rewards XP to the lowest skill equal to 6 times of that skill level, capped at 180 XP per tear, or 300 XP per tear if using ornate bowl.

I usually get 180 tears within 3 minutes, that’s 32,400 XP or 64,800 XP with ornate bowl. Though ppl have claimed they can get up to 300 tears.

Penguin Hide and Seek

A weekly mini-game that seeks penguins for XP (or Coins).

Requirement:
None

Recommend:
Completed the Cold War quest for more points
Completed the Hunt for Red Raktuber quest to unlock Polar Bear
Completed the Some Like It Cold quest to unlock ghostly penguin (also require Ring of Visibility)
Access to various areas and teleport methods.

How to play:
Join a good friend chat, such as w60pengs at World 60. Read the locations they posted on forum, interact in game. I usually take 15 minutes to find all penguins and polar bear.

A player can get max 19 points per week, and save up to 50 points before trade in. Each point rewards XP to the skill of choice equal to 25 times of that skill level. For instance, a level 50 skill will get 23,750 XP from 19 points.

Be careful not to trade in for coins!

Troll Invasion

Player will help Burthorpe guards defend against troll, and get Bonus XP for the first time play in each month.

Requirement:
None

Recommend:
Combat suit if choose fighting
Lightweight gear if choose skilling

How to play:
I usually just choose 7-wave fighting, takes about 6 minutes. Skilling is a little more complicated, may takes up to 10 minutes, and may not get the full reward XP.

The reward XP is based on player’s skill level and performance.

Skill level / Bonus XP
Lvl 30 / 7,520
Lvl 40 / 12,960
Lvl 50 / 20,000
Lvl 60 / 28,640

Daily Challenge

Here quotes from Tip.it General Guides: “Daily Challenges provide a large amount of bonus experience gained in the relative challenge skill, roughly equal to spending an equal amount of training time training in the most efficient ways.”

Players can block maxed skills, so that they can focus on others. Only one challenge of each skill can be active at any given time, save up to five challenges.

The pendant can be transformed to any skill pendant which provides XP boost when worn. Normal pendant will increase XP gain by 50%. 10 small recharge gems can fully recharge a depleted normal pendant; Prized pendant will increase XP gain by 100%. 10 large recharge gems can fully recharge a depleted prized pendant.
