Stocking up on large amounts of skilling resources through the Grand Commutation (e.1000. logs and raw fish to train Firemaking and Cooking respectively).
- It may be preferential to focus on fast but expensive skills, equally Double XP Weekend has a limited time frame (e.k. skills like Summoning, Fletching, and Herblore).
Playing Treasure Hunter for a chance to obtain protean items and sources of bonus experience.
- Earning keys past completing quests and daily challenges, or buying them using real-life currency.
Buying portable skilling stations.
Collecting divine locations, as both resources and experience can be gained at a faster rate than traditional methods, at the cost of having a daily limit of how many items tin be obtained from these locations. It may also be a expert idea to stock up on vis wax, which tin can be used to extend the daily limit by upwardly to 100%.
Strategically training at certain locations and worlds to maximise efficiency. Skilling at crowded locations where portables are often deployed, stacked, and shared by many other players can greatly increment experience gains. In worlds where many players skill at the same time, at that place'due south also a higher chance of others popping pulse cores which will give one betwixt 2 and x% bonus experience. Alternatively, some skills such as Hunter and Slayer may swivel on the availability of a less crowded world.
- Players frequently railroad train at the bank in Burthorpe or at the Gainsay Academy in Lumbridge, where 1 can expect other players to release portables and divine locations.
- In addition to experience, training in Menaphos allows players to gain reputation.
- Prifddinas offers many skilling options suitable for loftier-levelled players.
Engaging in money-making activities to be able to afford resources and other desired items; this is peculiarly helpful when planning on training expensive skills like Herblore and Construction.
Upgrading weapons and combat equipment to maximise experience gains when training combat skills.
Joining skilling-based clans or clans with one or more avatars. These provide a base 3% bonus experience for association members, plus 1% for each Fealty rank, up to +three%, for a total of half dozen%.
Some players also choose to invest money into the market, taking advantage of the fluctuating prices of skilling supplies.

March 2010

The outset Bonus XP Weekend started at 12:00 PM GMT on Friday 12 March and lasted until 12:07 PM GMT Mon, xv March 2010.^[21] The Bonus XP Weekend used a decaying bonus experience formula. Players began with 2.7x experience bonus which decreased for every 45 minutes that the histrion was logged in. After 7 hours of being logged in the player would be down to a i.1x experience bonus which would not decrease farther.

The first Bonus XP Weekend used an early version of the XP Counter to display the player's current experience multiplier and experience gains. It was located next to the minimap. During the Bonus XP Weekend no bonus experience was given in any skill while barbarian fishing.

Leading upwardly to the Bonus XP Weekend, Jagex released an equation that gave the XP multiplier equally a office of time and it was stated that the multiplier would be recalculated on every XP event, accurate to one infinitesimal. The multiplier given was $\left({\frac {x-10}{7.5}}\right)^{2}+1.1$ for the first 10 hours, and a constant 1.ane after that, where $x$ is the number of hours played. This is shown in the graph on the right, which was as well released with the formula.^[21] This would have given an average multiplier of one.69x over the kickoff 10 hours of play.

Intended graph of XP multiplier as a function of the time played.

However, when the upshot started, players noticed that the bonus xp multiplier was lower than expected; information technology changed every 45 minutes rather than every 30 minutes and was always a multiple of 0.one. The modifier went down 0.two each time (2.7, 2.5, 2.3, etc.), but went down only 0.1 after it reached one.5 (i.five, 1.iv, 1.3, etc.). This was due to intermediate rounding. In the article on Bonus XP Weekend plant on the front page on the Runescape website, it was said that one's XP counter would accomplish 1.1x after 10 hours of gameplay. Players were disappointed to notice out that information technology actually striking 1.1x after 7 hours of gameplay.
