1. Bonus XP Weekend — Your chance to level up
A Bonus XP Weekend is an in-game event where RuneScape subscribers receive boosted XP gains for the majority of in-game activities. As far as boosted XP gains are concerned, Bonus XP Weekend puts forward a method named XP multiplier which enables gamers to increase their bonus XP rate. This multiplier will begin at 2.7x what you would usually earn for any “normal training” activities (see list below), and will decrease every thirty minutes of game time until it reaches 1.1x, at which it will remain for the rest of the Bonus XP Weekend. That is to say, the first time you log in over the course of the Bonus XP Weekend, you can enjoy a 2.7x. For instance, if you get 10.000XP and the Bonus XP modifier is at 2.7x, you will in fact receive 27,000 XP in total. But after you have played for 30 minutes, the Bonus XP modifier turns to 2.55x. Then you will receive 25,500 XP altogether. The more time you play in the game, the less bonus XP you will receive. But one thing should be mentioned that your bonus XP rate will not decrease if you in the lobby, or if you are not logged into the game. Next to the mini-map there is a XP+ button changed during the weekend which will help you keep track of the XP that you’re earning. Blow attached is the multiplier.
