It's an idea we've had for a while (and we’re obviously not the first gaming company to think of it; many online games have bonus XP weekends). We wanted to give people a chance to do training on existing skills…

Only other games give bonus XP to everyone not only paid members….-.-

World of warcraft was one of the first to do real bonus weekends every weekend :P

New Skill??

New Skill??

It's only been discussed/talked about for the past 2 months or so. And only 10hours of bonus which the bonus multiplier drops over time is pretty weak. Can't they just have a full 48 hours of pure x2 exp?

Probably for members only…seriously they need to give something to F2Pers too…

Since it's so well known whats it called?
For the future: Keep in mind not everyone on this forum is an active RuneScape Loser, so save the sarcasm.. ;)

Zytex, I'm pretty sure the new skill is for members, but F2P'ers are getting a new Quest.

It is both F2P and P2P

I never saw that RS thread, I Don't look at RS forums, but it did say partially, although all F2P skills are technically only partial F2P and the full 100% skill is P2P, but I thought in the RSS feeds, RS said it was members, meh, whatever. But I do believe you F2P guys are also getting a new quest also.

I thought they said this skill is both f2p/p2p where p2p will get the full package of the skill.

I hoped for more hours of double xp :( Cant choose which skill to train…

any suggestions ?

Skills that are expensive, so you get more xp for the same amount of money. Skills that take a long time such as runecrafting so this gives it a little boost.
I was about to use gilded altars to train the expensive prayer, but unfortunately that's not possible. Then I was thinking between summoning(lack of charms because I don't really play legit) and construction(expensive). I will train construction at that weekend.

slayer or herblore.

- The new skill will be released on a day that ends with a ‘Y’ – All days do; MondaY…
- The new skill will be released in a month with at least 28 days – All months have that.
- The new skill will be new – Uhm duh?

lol'd at this…

I lol'd the fact there are people taking it all so seriously.
Look at those 'theories', it's as if someone actually took time and started rough-drafting them and whatever. Or at least - I find it very 'childish' to start making up theories when the feature is going to be released in less than a month. Or at that time a month. If you read the other threads and posts for the new skill, you actually see people flaming along 'No! The skill is going to be ——!!!!1!'
and then the other guy goes like 'Nuh uh!'…

mysterious123, where'd you get the idea it'd be out in less than a month? They said it'd be out towards the middle of the year.

Just like all the other skills then?
Of course that's true…

What? Herblore, Agility, Thieving, Farming, Hunting, Slayer, Fletching, Construction, Summoning, are all p2p only skills..

to be honest (like most) this exp bonus disappointed me….i was like WOW but then of course it was so short that it barely made any difference, and im betting it was some kind of way to try and catch botters to see how many people would be on for the full time… :|

Using the first two hours of the bonus XP, I will save approximately 50 hours.

How? I can't think of any skill that you could do 50 hours of work in 2 hours with a silly multiplier.. Using the first 2 hours will save you like 2-3,5 hours of work..

E: I wish they would've enabled 2x experience for everyone for the whole weekend, but I think the reason they didn't is because of some fat kids surely getting heart-attacks and dying after drinking a barrel of Red Bull while playing RS for 72 hours straight on 3 accounts.

While making summoning pouches you can infuse aprx 2,000 a hour. Now I have a collection of about 4000 charms and theres two ways you can look at this.

Leveling slayer you will get about 50 crimson charms a hour, thats forty hours right there to just get 2k crimson which is half my collection.

Alternatively I can make 1m a hour doing a money making method and spend that bursting rock lobsters. This turns out to 80 crimson charms a hour. This method means I save 25 hours.

So in two hours I will be able to make all my charms while my average bonus experience will be 250%. For my slayer example this means I will get about 6000 "free charms" and at my very generous estimate at 50 crimson charms a hour I actually save myself 120 hours. Ice Bursting example I save 75 hours.

Much more than the example I said, but only because I actually found out my average bonus experience instead of estimating.
