Anyone with bonus XP left to use in their Mad May necklace still has plenty of time to do so: until the 31st of December 2012.

- When I pin a task to the noticeboard, I also get a box displaying the task above my chat box. Why do I need 2? Closing the pop up box also unpins it from my bar.

You can move it around, even under your open tab. So I did.

Ok so that fixes it, but to fix it I have to hide part of their system. That seems silly :/

Yeah, but JaGEx isn't exactly known for their good release-day ideas. Usually things need to be tweaked.

did I just get 250k dg xp for doing a c6 small? I really hope they nerf the xp rates because this is wayy too easy.

Mad face for not getting a dung challenge

To be fair, that's for someone with 109 dungeoneering. It most likely scales more or less like lamps.

Yes it does scale like lamps.

I'm 94 Dungeoneering and I received 195k XP.

I did my Dung task and got 180k xp. I did my Summoning task, which only took a little less time, and got 2.5k xp. Even though the two skills are almost the same level. Good job balancing the update Jagex...

What it does is it gives extra xp equivalent to doing the best xp you could for that skill at you level.  For dg this means the highest floor with prestige on a 5:5 large and probably has all the bonus stuff maxed out as well which is why it's such a large amount of xp.  For summoning while you can level it fast each thing itself doesn't really give that much xp so if limited to a certain amount used it can only give so much xp.

FYI for everyone, the beacon task is glitched and is uncompletable at the moment.

Only collect the award from one challenge at a time or you will not get the compensation.

Does anyone know what time the daily tasks reset at? Couldn't see anything noted down anyways, so I'm either blind or they didn't mention it.

Pretty sure its the same time you get new sof spins

Great i got that task :(

Only bad thing is the "Make X item" thing, because  you don't get paid for the items you made to my knowledge. I've got a task to make 300 red vambraces, which will cost nearly 1M. Now, I'm not sure how much exp the reward is, but I highly doubt it is 1M worth.

Does it say you have to turn the items in?  If so then you do get compensated for it.  I got compensated for having to buy 15 grimy torstols and clean them.

I'll have to check (I'm pretty sure any challenge that includes items = you lose them when you turn it in), but I know I had a cut 30 magic logs one and my compensation was a mystery bag (which by chance contained 28 magic logs)

I can confirm you will get compensated for the ge value of the items.  I just had a task of 336 magic shortbows and when i turned in got 27 rune ores as compensation.

I got 47K crafting xp for making 70 decorated cooking urns. Jackpot.  

At first I was grumpy that I didn't get any Dungeoneering challenges... then I saw this.  I got this challenge in the morning but didn't have time to do it until I came home from work at which point I got a new one and this one was gone... FML.

Also the Dorgesh-Kaan agility challenge is bugged you can't right click "Help" I think I ended up getting about 20K thieving experience for 6 laps which would have been ok except it took me 12 laps to figure out why it was bugged.

I also planted a torstol and got 3K Farming XP.  I was hoping for the equivalent of checking a spirit tree but for a 30 second task I guess I can't complain.

250k in 4 mins is a bit optimistic for dg. they take in account how long it should take you, and howmuch xp you wouldve gained in that time.

I think for dg they kinda neglected the time spent portion for it lol.

Not true I handed 4 in last night and got 4 bags and 4 lots of xp.

[stevembk]

I got 198k mining xp + a bag full of 49 magic logs all from mining 250 concentrated gold ore. It took me 15 minutes.

What was the reason they nerfed effigies again?

[Robinhoodrs]

What if Jagex is trying to push these crazy XP rates into the game so everyone gets 99's? Then when RS3 comes out, the new max level is 120?

[Evidently]

I made 120 carved teak magic wardrobes, spent like 700k on the planks to do it and did not get reimbursed, only a spin and 20k construction xp. *sigh*

  Mine was used up ~20 minutes after it was released

I think it's pretty much fun to break your daily RS routine once in a while by doing some challenges. The EXP rewards are very decent too so it is worth your while
