Summer Double XP: August 12 - 22

[Sirsir]

I literally just coped and pasted this news article here.

 

Good luck with your gains! It isn't too late to prepare, though the sooner you obtain the resources you need, the better.

 

Lykenlova has already kindly announced how this will affect the ongoing Carpe Diem skilling path:

• For the Golden Party Hat Hunt, DXP can be used to earn any of the Shards, including the Extreme Shard! It can make this much easier to complete, especially if you haven't been playing much.
• For the skilling requirement under The Unobtainable, DXP cannot be used to fulfill the 500M XP needed. You will have to either finish before DXP begins, or screenshot to prove that you didn't use your timer for it.

 

Let's do this quarterly DXP!

 

All aboard the Gainz Train! Choo Choo!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The next iteration of Double XP LIVE is just around the corner – and this time it's some new improvements for using up those Combat Dummies!

 

From August 12th – 22nd, you'll be able to max out your XP gains at your own pace with our 48-hour Double XP Timer, just like usual. As with the previous DXP: Live, you'll also be able to convert some of your time into credit for Nic the Trader's Store!

DXP LIVE: THE BASICS

If you've never taken part in Double XP LIVE before, you've missed out on some easy gains! It's a great way to boost your XP and prepare yourself for higher-level quests and adventures. Throughout Double XP LIVE, you have a 48-hour timer that, when activated, grants you increased XP for most combat and skilling activities at the following rates:

• +100% for RuneScape members
• +20% for free-to-play

 

You can turn the timer on and off as you wish, meaning you can set aside time to focus on specific skills you want to train, and keep adventuring as normal the rest of the time.

 

Keep in mind that any bonus XP is not boosted during Double XP LIVE, but it is still awarded. So this could combine to make as much as +200% XP for members on all sorts of skilling activities! Not bad huh? Not too shabby at all.

 

There are some caveats. Ironman accounts do not receive an XP boost during Double XP LIVE. You should also note that Double XP does not apply to some skilling activities.

 

Additionally, Double XP LIVE affects Archaeology and Invention skilling differently.

 

(Details for the above two available in news article.)

ANYTHING NEW THIS TIME?

Yes! Alongside the release of Time to Train right before Double XP: LIVE begins, we'll be making a number of improvements to Combat Dummies to make them more usable for your training goals!

• You can now place multiple Combat Dummies down at once (up to 3).
• Combat Dummies can now be affected by AoE spells and abilities.
• Combat Dummies are now easier to place – you can now configure a 'Default' Dummy type for deployment, making them a one-click deploy.
• This includes a new configuration that will choose the Dummy type based on your equipped mainhand weapon.
• You can now pick up any Dummies you place if you have not gained any XP from them.

NIC THE TRADER

Each day you log in, you can convert one hour of Double XP time to credit that can be spent at Nic the Trader's Store!

 

Each hour converted will grant 250 credits to members, and 50 credits to free-to-play adventurers.

 

Here's a look at what you'll be able to pick up from Nic:

Logging in, bankstanding, not knowing what to do, and eventually logging out.

Slayer and Dungeoneering 120's to finally knock out the required skilling stuff. Then probably whatever is left for my Carpe Diem challenge. Probably either a gathering, or artisan skill

 

That, and merching
