Treasure Hunter – Advanced Pulse Cores

Get extra fast Bonus XP and stacking XP buffs on Treasure Hunter this weekend with advanced pulse cores – bigger and better than before, with more direct benefit to you!

You'll find advanced pulse cores aplenty on Treasure Hunter, from 00:00 UTC on 19th June to 23:59 UTC on 22nd June.

Once your stack of advanced pulse cores is equipped in your pocket slot, each core acts like a chunk of extra-fast Bonus XP – that means +150% XP in whatever skill you're training, until depleted.

When a core depletes, it sets off a pulse wave, granting you and everyone in the surrounding area a 2% XP boost for 10 minutes, plus another benefit such as replenished prayer or life points, or stat boosts to several skill levels.

This can stack up to five times, for a maximum of 10% XP boost, and each pulse that affects a player will renew the 10 minute duration.

Please note:

  • Advanced pulse cores have an option to toggle off skills you don't want to train.
  • You no longer need Accept Aid on to receive buffs from other players.
  • Advanced pulse cores also work in Dungeoneering.
  • Ironman accounts cannot receive the buffs.

Stock up on advanced pulse cores this weekend, and settle in for some truly excellent XP gains.

What is Treasure Hunter?

Treasure Hunter is a minigame – playable from within RuneScape - where players use Keys to claim in-game items as prizes. These range from useful resources to rare weapons and exclusive gear.

Playing Treasure Hunter is simple – click the treasure chest icon that pops up when you log in. If you've not played before, just follow the on-screen guide.

Everyone gets at least one Key per day, and RuneScape members get two. You can earn more Keys while playing the game, or stock up by redeeming Bonds.

If you'd like more, you can also buy Keys on the website, or by clicking 'Buy Keys' within the Treasure Hunter interface in-game.
