The next Bonus XP Weekend will begin at 12:00 GMT (midday) on the 16th of March 2012 and will end at 12:00 GMT (midday) on the 19th of March 2012.
Whether it’s planing planks for your house, stocking up on seeds for Farming, getting ready for an extended Slayer trip or just limbering up to take on your favourite Agility course, now is the time to prepare so you can make the most progress possible.
Once the Bonus XP Weekend begins on Friday the 16th of March, the XP modifier will come into effect for all members. The modifier will begin at x2.7 the rate of XP you would earn from standard training activities, and will drop to a new multiplier every 30 minutes of game time. The table below should help with any preparations you wish to make:
| 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 |
| 270-300 | x 1.6 |
| 300-330 | x 1.5 |
| 330-360 | x 1.45 |
| 360-390 | x 1.4 |
| 390-420 | x 1.35 |
| 420-450 | x 1.3 |
| 450-480 | x 1.25 |
| 480-510 | x 1.2 |
| 510-540 | x 1.175 |
| 540-570 | x 1.15 |
| 570-600 | x 1.125 |
| 600+ | x 1.1 |
The ‘XP’ button will change to ‘XP+’ when the weekend begins, tracking how much XP you rack up over the course of the weekend. It will also have a tooltip to show you what your current XP modifier is.
As before, Summoning XP will be boosted by a set percentage of 10% over the course of the three days; all other skills will follow the schedule noted in the table above.
