On a roll

Don’t miss out on the next instalment of our four Wild Weekends in May! For this weekend only, you can get double points in the Runespan. Over the whole weekend you’ll receive double points in the Runespan for any successful siphon. These can be spent on some great rewards in Wizard Finix’s shop, including wicked robes to go with your hood, some new staves, and an even bigger essence pouch! If you’ve yet to try the Runespan, here’s yet another reason to take your training to a new plane of existence.

This offer runs from Saturday the 12th, up to and including Monday the 14th in its entirety (GMT).

Don’t forget: as a member, you’ll get 3 spins instead of 2 every day that you login during Mad May, so you’ll have even more chances to win big. Subscribe now so you can get your extra spins!

Do you mean:

1. Why are they doing double points?
2. Wow this event is awesome, I already got 200k+ points! <- I hope not.
3. This is a useless event jagex.

I just needed some clarifying. (event starts sat.)

that's good..for all those people who do runespan legit..in the other hand people who bot (98%), can easily get the points they need.

I guess it's worth checking out. Too bad that pouch disappears or I'd be more interested in points.

useless event in my opinion.

stuartroad

Eh I do not think this will be good for bots. This means A LOT more people will be doing runespan, therefore more people draining. But then they respawn pretty quick anyway…..

3 spins… omg shoot me now! It's so freaking annoying, all these pop ups in-game about Mad-May and the annoying squealing crap!

they're on timers, it makes no difference whether 1 or 1000 people are siphoning…

got already 63 rc on my skiller <3 hope to get 70 soon.

they are not on timer, from rs wikia (and personal experience):
Any number of players can siphon runes from one creature at the same time, but if one of the players siphons a total of 10 runes without pause, the creature will be destroyed.

this means that if there is a lot high lvl rcers siphoning a creature, its going to be drained pretty fast, though it still shdnt affect rc xp too much.

i meant nodes, apologies.
It really makes no difference for esswraiths as they re-spawn in 3 seconds.

hmm 5levels up in rc would've taken me 40hrs+ f2p walking/runing for ages :D

Double runespan points hardly constitutes a 'Wild weekend'. >_>

Thanks for the tip! Is it F2P also?

well in the case of nodes, its actually quite the opposite of what ppl may think:
Nodes will expire faster when fewer players are siphoning runic energy from them, so it is in the best interests of all players to have many people focus on the same node in order to prolong its lifespan.

so double point=more ppl=good for everyone :f:

Yeah i got more important shit than to train runecrafting lol..

I made 50k points this weekend with Rc 56 to 72 now ^^
But the stuff seems pretty useless…

1 - 77 Rc and 75K+ points (and still counting) in a single weekend. No wonder the legit "earned it the hard way" are whining.

Andres

Runecrafting is essentially the easiest skill in the game now.

I know that it still isn't the fastest or the most AFKable, but you can enter the Runespan at level 1 and not leave until you are 99.
