The Bonus XP Weekend has now started! The next time you log into the game, your bonus XP modifier will come into effect. The modifier will begin at 2.7x the usual rate of XP you would earn from standard training activities, and will decrease every 30 minutes (of in-game time) in line with the table below. Your multiplier will then remain at 1.1x until the Bonus XP Weekend finishes on Monday.

Game time (mins)  XP Multiplier 
Up to 30  x 2.7 
30-60  x 2.55 
60-90  x 2.4 
90-120  x 2.25 
120-150  x 2.1 
150-180  x 2.0 
180-210  x 1.9 
210-240  x 1.8 
240-270  x 1.7

The XP button left of the minimap will give you information on your current XP modifier and how long until it next decreases via a tooltip.

How's everybody's bonus xp weekend going?

I plan on training agility for the first 4 hours, then whatever takes my fancy after that

The XP counter got reset after 1:30 mins cause of a so called "Dungeonering Glitch"

[Roanlo Zolo]

Hello there,

We have looked through the code and found a bug where the amount of XP awarded for dungeoneering overflowed one of our variables. This stopped the awarded XP from being awarded.

As you can guess, this was not part of the plan. So we have placed in a new fix that will ensure there is no overflow. EDIT: A new fix will not cap the bonus at lower floors now.

Because we cannot recover what XP might have been awarded we have taken the opportunity to rollout a onetime reset of the Bonus XP timer.

I am really sorry that this has taken place. You can rest assured that I feel terrible about this occurring.

Take care,
Mod Fnord

This happened about 1hr 30m into the thing. So you just got bonus bonus exp

My plan: herb (done), 7.5k casts Hunter Kit (48% done), 10k casts Stun/Alch
The stun/alch will take so many hours......
