Has been announced on the forums somewhere, but I can only go on dutch ones :S
Its from the 3rd to the 6th of September. Shame my members runs out the day before lol.
One bad thing about this is nothing is selling in g/e skill wise, herbs, pots, ess which is really annoying because it looks like I wont be able to get 70 rc and herblore...
Anyways what you planning on doing on xp weekend?
I will probs do mage in f2p.
its not double xp weekend its only double xp for the first 3 hours then it goes down n after like 10 hours its 1.1x xp for the rest of the weekend
my members runs out on 1st of september ;[
Yeh I know it starts at 2.7 and goes down to 1.1, but its refereed to as double xp weekend :PQuote:

Im doing Herblore for this Lmao.
Grown all my own herbs etc (H)
It's not referred to as double XP weekend, it's referred to as BONUS xp weekend, people just started mistakingly calling it double xp weekend even though its not
if you work it out the average is 1.7 or something not 2.0
Also summoning has a 10% cap
Yes i know i was playing when they did the first bonus weekend but most people call it double xp, im sorry if it offended evryone....Quote:

You couldn't do prayer last time either
well i have lift time runescape membership so i'm fine membership wise (H)

Oh I didnt know that any reason on why?Quote:

Because you'd get stupidly high XP when the boosts on prayer are already high enough
With each d bone on a gilded altar with bonus xp you'd get 680xp per bone
thats just stupid
252 or 272 or whatever you get atm is fine
Guilded altars don't provide double exp on double exp weekend, just saying.
Bonus xp, not double XP
neither does ecto nor does brawlers
the only way to use bonus xp on prayer is burying the bones which wouldn't come near the XP gained on the ecto/altars = pointless
I dont think it would be the cost of d bones otherwise they would of done herblore as well,
Also scott that would be the same for construction...
I don't think they allow altars to be effected because people would just get so much xp. Then there would be loads of complaints from high levels saying they worked so hard on training prayer and now people can get from like 90 to 99 in a day (or w/e). Just like people complained about summoning and now that is capped.Quote:

Yes but like you said its the around the same xp as you would gain for using bones on altars etc... so theres no real point...Quote:

Im planning to burn magic logs for the first 3 hours, after a magic tree/palm tree run to gather all the bonus xp. Should get 700xp + per mage log burned, best option really since im already 92 herblore & you just cant get the supplies needed (merch).
I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing; woodcutting.
I think i'll be training abit of mage, range and agility by using the Circus d&d (it allows the bonus xp from performing certain moves there like backflip for agility)
Then go and train abit of herblore and then possibly put some in training attack/defencw
Wow lol how long do you think bonus xp lasts? It's not all weekend, just a few hours iirc but since it decreases as you train your probably best of trying to do all one skill unless you set it up so that you can waste as little time possible when changing skills.Quote:

Im pretty much just going to be doing herblore which i have all the herbs for
i think after the bonus weekend ill be about 91 herb
Ah very niceQuote:

Think I'm gonna mine for 50 I think it is for summers end, then I can wield arcane. :D
I'll wc, will only take 3 hours then for 99 wc
Don't be lazy, get it now!Quote:

Even if it does just turn out to be a waste of time you still leave with all that XP. ;)Quote:
