We’re happy to announce that an extended Bonus XP Weekend will be running from the 3rd to the 6th of September 2010! Members should prepare their potion ingredients, stock up on planks and build up a strong Dungeoneering prestige to get the most from the four days.

Once the Bonus XP Weekend begins on Friday 3rd September, the XP modifier will come into effect for all members. The modifier will begin at x2.7 the rate of XP you would earn from standard training activities, and will drop to a new multiplier every 30 minutes of game time. The table below should help with any preparations you want to make!:

Game time (mins)XP Multiplier
Up to 30x 2.7
30-60x 2.55
60-90x 2.4
90-120x 2.25
120-150x 2.1
150-180x 2.0
180-210x 1.9
210-240x 1.8
240-270x 1.7
270-300x 1.6
300-330x 1.5
330-360x 1.45
360-390x 1.4
390-420x 1.35
420-450x 1.3
450-480x 1.25
480-510x 1.2
510-540x 1.175
540-570x 1.15
570-600x 1.125
600+x 1.1


The ‘XP’ button will change to ‘XP+’ when the weekend begins, tracking how much XP you rack up over the course of the weekend and it will have a tooltip to show you what your current XP modifier is.

Following feedback from March’s Bonus XP Weekend, Summoning XP will be boosted by a set percentage of 10% over the course of the four days. All other skills will follow the schedule noted in the table.

To get a clearer idea of what actions will and will not be modified by the Bonus XP Weekend, and for more information in general, please read this developer blog or the Second Helping forum thread.

Since I was F2P for the last one, I'm going to see how good this "feature" actually is. :no:

Omg, so the multiplier for Summoning stays 1.1 the whole Bonus Weekend? :/ Luckily I foresaw this and sold my tons of Water talismans early (with few million profit anyway :) ).

Yeah but everything summoning related will still raise in price, extra xp is extra xp after all :no:

After I'm done with herb I will do some summoning myself.

Don't like this concept.
Will probally do a farmtree run, a little bit of herblore and maybe a bit of dungeoneering, depents on if tokens are modified aswell.

Just got extremes a few weeks ago. Could have gotten it with alot less recources, in time and in herbs/gps.
Too bad I didn't hold on them. Going to make 150 super antifires, got the recources for it. The rest of my herbs are going on Grand Exchange a small week before the weekend.

I'll just be wasting the weekend on firemaking. I don't care enough to plan ahead and buy herblore supplies or anything, so whatever. Missed the last one, so looking forward to this one.

I'll be doing my best to anger the common man by profiting off the demand this whole deal creates. :no: Oh and I suppose a few farming runs would help.

Bought enough herbs to make extremes... would be nice if I could get more so I can make overloads, but herbs are bought out already.

Once i use up the extra exp timer, I guess I'll use what charms I have.

And men cried out to the Creator, saying, O Light of the Heavens, Light of the World, let the Promised One be born of the mountain, as he was in Ages past and will be in Ages to come. Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs. Let the arm of the Lord of the Dawn shelter us from the Dark, and the great sword of justice defend us.

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.

Probably, because raw food won't really be hard to get. I don't think too many people will be focusing on Cooking.

I currently have enough materials for ~500 Prayer potions and ~2000 Serums, plus 1K grimy Dwarf Weeds. With some more work (and some luck) I'll be able to get to Extremes, currently 81 Herblore Posted Image
