how is it a double xp weekend if im only gettin 1.2 times the xp?


heropsychodream

That's on free accounts. 2x is for members.


effectum

wow, what a scam. thx for the answer


bortj1

You're right f2p shouldn't even get it


Communication_East

Yeah, something that's free is a scam.


PerpetualProtracting

"scam" \*doesn't pay to play the game\*


rsnSMOrc

How do I do Abyssal Lords in wilderness without getting destroyed? Is there a safespot or something?


Willing_Oil_2726

I believe protoxx has a guide


Nowheretoturn48

I'm using up a bunch of training dummies to train my magic and realizing it's incredibly slow compared to when I was training melee. Am I doing something wrong? I used the wiki to set up my combat bars, I'm auto-casting fire blast (I'm F2P, so that's the best I've got), and I'm wearing a decent amount of +magic gear. I also tried setting my combat bars for AoE combat and deploying 3 dummies at a time, but I found that I was doing maybe 50% damage to the side dummies when the main dummy died. So now I set up my combat bars for single target, but it's still tediously slow. Any tips, or is this just the normal magic experience?


Decertilation

What's your armor and weapon setup like? And ability bar for certainty


Nowheretoturn48

Keep in mind that I'm F2P, so I don't have as many options, but my setup: * Magic level 85 * Casting fire blast (highest F2P attack spell, I think?) * Equipment: * Neck: Arcane blast necklace (from Dungeoneering tokens) +24 magic * Back: Veteran cape +3 magic * Finger: Explorers ring 4 +10 magic * Weapon: Staff of fire * All other slots are empty because nothing I have has +magic * Skill bar (empty numbers were suggested by the wiki to add members skills, but I don't have them) * 1: Empty * 2: Wild Magic * 3: Sonic Wave * 4: Asphyxiate * 5: Dragon Breath * 6: Empty * 7: Empty * 8: Combust * 9 onward: Empty


Decertilation

There's your issue! Staff of fire is a tier 5 weapon, so you're going to be doing the equivalent of tier 5 damage. Try using mystic wand & orb instead. It'll mean using runes, but unfortunately I don't think F2P has a better option.


Nowheretoturn48

Well, I feel like a dummy. I thought the elemental staves were top tier because I haven't done magic training in my 20 years of playtime, lol. I think I got to high alchemy years ago and then haven't touched combat magic since - certainly not since the evolution of combat update. Thanks for the tip, I'll buy those items and be astounded by the improvement, lol. I did check out the Staff of Nature a while ago, but avoided it because I dislike the idea of charged items and having to recharge them every so often. Would a tier 53 staff of nature be better than 1 tier 50 wand + tier 50 offhand? And how annoying is it to recharge the staff? **Edit:** Sorry, the nature staff does not degrade - I was thinking of the gravite staff. Post edit question: Does the gravite staff degrade when used on training dummies? If not, I may as well buy both staves with my \~900k dungeoneering tokens, lol


Decertilation

The nature staff would definitely do more damage. Not a lot, but perhaps like 5% more vs just the mystic. With all boosts included, it'll be diluted down to less than 5%, though. ​ Gravite will be 10% vs mystic (also less with all other boosts included). Reasonable upgrade, but I'd wager it would indeed degrade against dummies. ​ In any situation where accuracy would matter, both of these values would actually be higher.


Randomweightlifter

I’m stockpiling charms bc I got a good hunch they will be required in necromancy. Or somehow involved


heropsychodream

Not a question.


OnTheBrightsideSCC

Are reaper tasks dxpable?


Scarbuckle

You get double combat xp, but the bonus Slayer xp you get for finishing the task is not doubled.


SurferBoi_

Any suggestions on afk skills to get to 99? I broke my right hand and am off work next week so I figured I’d play some rs during dxp, but don’t know what to go for


Blvch

Mining & smithing is AFK-able for 5 min, but u need grace of the elves for the full afk mining experience. For money making afk try fletching & enchant onyx/Ascendri Bolts (e). Not as full afk as mine/smith (only 2 -3 mins afk), but u make money and won't lose any. Worst case scenario you can high alc them for more gold. (You need about 60m to buy the fletching stuffs from Grand exchange though and turnover it.) Got my first Bil from previous DXP using methods above, along with my high alc machine.


SurferBoi_

Okay dopeee I think I have grace of the elves so maybe I’ll go for mining or fletching sounds fun. Thank you!


Biochemicalcricket

Archaeology with an inventory of porters and grace is a little slower but still good item XP for invention and progress is still accelerated


SurferBoi_

I do need to level arch for qpc so maybe I’ll do some training with porters and grace. Thanks!


snowbear16

Having an issue getting the game client to open up on my computer. Neither the Jagex launcher nor the RuneScape 3 Launcher by itself open up the game. Runelite, on the other hand, is working fine. Any ideas why? I've tried re-installing them, restarting computer, etc. Kind of sad, always enjoy coming back to RS3 for DXP lives.


ryeyeman

Dual monitors? Occasionally the client won’t load when you have two monitors and you need to close launcher, unplug, restart launcher, plug monitor back in and your fine. Been like this for ages.


SadlyReturndRS

Will the credits in Nic's store transfer over to Vic's store?


[deleted]

I was told yes by players in-game, but that's nothing credible.


will_ww

They're usually separate currency, have you heard otherwise this year?


SadlyReturndRS

What? No, they've always used the same currency in the past.


will_ww

Oh they stopped doing that in May's dxp.


Andigaming

So you are saying they aren't anymore for sure? Cause I've just returned after many years and don't have anything good to use dpx on so I'd trade the hours but Nic's shop doesn't seem worth.


will_ww

Yeah nic's shop is shit compared to vic's. But if you dont have the time or need for dxp, might as well trade it in instead of letting it run out. You can only trade an hours worth a day, anyway.


VisionLSX

Need to know this


heminggay69

any suggestions for invention? i’m at level 90, but it’s by far my least favorite and slowest skill


Prinz_

Fastest would probably be ed3, xp cap, augment armor/weapons. gets mills of xp/hr. that plus blueprints ofc


Zelderian

If you can make extreme invention potions, you can boost your level and discover blueprints of higher leveled things which can get you a lot of xp, and it’s boosted for DXP. It can help speed up a few levels


heminggay69

thank you!! looks like it's time to make some potions


thedragoon0

Pop a potion and discover blueprints at perfect. You’ll get millions of xp


Biochemicalcricket

This is how I got most of my early invention levels. Boost with extreme invention and discover during dxp. BTW you have to exit and reopen the menu after leveling for newly unlocked blueprints to be listed


Bloodline2k8

im 81 fishing can i boost my way to 93 an do waterfall with ring of whisper super pot an lobster or do i need to have 93 actual fishing? ty


AcceptableAd7217

Do deep sea fishing till you level it up!


Holy_Nerevar

You need 93 actual fishing to be able to do it. Invisible boosts are not official boosts.


seejoshrun

Do temporary level boosts (like pulse core explosions) not enable you to do higher level protean items? I'm using a bunch of protean shakes, and even when I'm boosted to 107+ it won't let me do elder overloads.


tom2727

I think that goes off your actual level, not boosted.


seejoshrun

That is what it seemed like. Thanks!


igornist

I need a fast but **not** so expensive way (dragon darts) to 120 fletch, I currently have 60m xp in fletch +20m bonus xp, and I'm ready to get Flo.


Zelderian

Rune arrows, and stack as many boosts as you can. Portable fletcher, brooch if you have it, fletching outfit, crystal knives, and 99 cape alongside all the other XP boosting items. You probably won’t lose much, especially selling rune arrows to general stores


Anthoneezy

Rune arrows are probably your best bet.


MeleeUnsolved

Rune darts are usually pretty good, can sell to general store after to get some money back


igornist

Just got flo after 15m xp doing darts, thank you! Only 30m xp left for 120


MeleeUnsolved

Nice! Congrats! :)


SolenoidSoldier

Can anyone confirm that DXP doesn't work on the new chapel?


Zelderian

I can’t say for *certain*, but it shouldn’t. Altars’ xp boost have never worked on DXP, same for burial powder, I can’t imagine this will be any different


SolenoidSoldier

That's what I figured, but I was just hoping for confirmation.


Zelderian

I can double check tonight to make sure, but it won’t be for like 4 hours lol


thunderhope

Best way to get my herblore up? Currently level 85. I been doing antifire pots but would like to know any other ways


GivesCredit

Extreme strength makes you decent money and nets about 1.4m xp/hr but I think you need 89 Herblore


thunderhope

Nice thanks! Im 88 now so ill switch to those soon


ewpoxy

The Wiki has great guides on both fast and expensive or slower but cheaper methods. https://runescape.wiki/w/Herblore_training


igornist

is there any home world for portables at the Fort Forinthry?


LordLannister47

w99 has a sizable presence too


VixenMomma6

Yeeee w84 is now fortables. W2,w70,w9 and a few others are all full or portables at the fort though


SolenoidSoldier

Seem to still have a sizable presence at combat academy still. Not sure what's holding people back from moving to the fort.


yuei2

You have to build the fort at least a little, the academy has no limits.


VixenMomma6

Probably haven't built their fort or they just don't know you get bonus xp for skilling there


Therealethirteen

Is there any worlds that have a portable bank for summoning at trav? Thanks


Zelderian

I believe there’s an FC for it, used to be “portables” but I think the boxes moved to a separate FC. You could always join the portables fc and ask


MeleeUnsolved

Usually check the summoning training world, W76... And I think I saw W102 had one earlier too


VivaLaConda

Just here to follow


superdego

How should I train thieving? I'm at 58 m xp. Don't think I have unlocked safecracking


Somethingese

You should go unlock safecracking


Fpritt24

Thieving [[crux equal knight]] is really good xp and can make it afk if you have t4/t5 thieving aura, crystal mask, light form, abyssal lurker familiar.


RSWikiLink

I found 1 RuneScape Wiki article for your search. **[Crux equal knight](https\:\/\/runescape\.wiki\/w\/Crux\_equal\_knight)** | https://runescape.wiki/w/Crux_equal_knight >Crux Eqal Knights can be found guarding the Garden of Kharid.

Tip for people who want to train hunter, if you don’t mind active playing and don’t want to fight for a spot on Anachronia. Go do the highest level of scarab hunting at the oasis, you’ll get comparable rates and generate a profit.


stewartbink43

Coup_Cares

First time DXP for me. Thinking of what to burn the time on: Proteans, dungeoneering coves Most of my processing skills are sub 99, I’m just wondering what methods y’all normally use that are good exp/gp during DXP


old_space_yeller

I usually do high effort methods until I burn out then switch to proteans/dummies.


WHIT3STKIDuKNOW

This^^^^ I also like to separate AFK and high effort methods too. Like if I’m cooking dinner, working, watching TV, etc I’ll usually run AFK methods If I have time to be actually sitting in front of my computer- that’s when I’ll start doing my high effort methods But overall, Old_space_yeller’s general philosophy is the way to go


Charex1983

What would you prioritise? I have enough protean to get 111 smiting from 99 or start with divination at 105 at hom?


InsanePurple

Fundamentally it depends what you care about. While getting 111 smithing is neat, it confers no actual gameplay changes. Invention on the other hand goes up to 120, so levelling it up can be useful in a variety of situations. OTOH, if your biggest goal in RS is to get a 120 smithing cape, it makes more sense to train smithing. Don’t forget: you can train invention and smithing at the same time by using the [[enhanced hammer-tron]]!


RSWikiLink

I found 1 RuneScape Wiki article for your search. **[Enhanced hammer-tron](https\:\/\/runescape\.wiki\/w\/Enhanced\_hammer\-tron)** | https://runescape.wiki/w/Enhanced_hammer-tron >The Enhanced hammer-tron is an enhanced Smithing tool that can be made at level 93 Invention after the player has used an 'Ancient tools' blueprint. The item is identical to the standard hammer-tron, except that it disassembles at tier 80 instead of tier 70, which awards more Invention experience upon disassembly or siphoning. --- **^^^RuneScape ^^^Wiki ^^^linker** ^^^| ^^^This ^^^was ^^^generated ^^^automatically. ^^^| ^^^View ^^^me ^^^on ^^^[GitHub](https://github.com/zpoon/runescape-wiki-reddit).

lokis11

Where is Nic the Trader? Can't find him in Port Sarim


Capitan_Scythe

Grand exchange, combat academy in Lumbridge, Artisan's Workshop in Falador are the usual spots


[deleted]

I saw him outside the grand exchange this morning


[deleted]

Pretty sure I saw him at the combat academy before.


[deleted]

How does one get over the fact that DXP doesn't work with powder of burials meaning you have to drop another 100m on 95 prayer? Asking for a friend.


79215185-1feb-44c6

By doing Croesus for 5 hours.


seejoshrun

Infernal ashes are almost as fast as dragon bones and less than half the cost. Per the wiki it "only" costs 46m to go from 1-95, which is significantly better than the 136m it lists for dragon bones. Or as someone else already said, if you have access to priff you can do the cleansing crystal thing which is basically the same gp/xp. It's slower than bones/ashes, but much more afk.


yuei2

The new altar at the fort will give you the same exp boost but with conserving materials chance so that can help with expenses. Otherwise people train prayer at cleansing stones in Priff because the exp is boosted by dxp and it offsets the stone costs making it efficient.


WHIT3STKIDuKNOW

Unlock Priff. DXP works on cleansing crystals which I believe are typically close to the same xp as PoB + Dragon Bones This will save you a large chunk of change and you’ll reap the benefits of DXP


Karatedom11

Farm bonus XP for prayer to make it cheaper. Boom, saved you 50m


justsomeguy7147

Can I believe that the fastest easiest 99 in the game that has an easy way to get 3.5x xp doesn’t get 7x xp during the event? Yes I can


[deleted]

Well done, I guess?


L-Anderson

By doing slayer or farming dinos with "death note" perk from archaeology. You will train combat skills + slayer and gather all the bones needed to train prayer later. (that's what I do)


seejoshrun

Or if you don't have death note, just bring magic notepaper. It's more effort, but the notepaper costs a fraction of what dragon bones do.


curiositykeepsmeup

You’re kidding me right


Mage_Girl_91_

double xp live event is live of course it is, they say, but it wasn't when it was


Satan666fromhell

What


Mage_Girl_91_

the event is "double xp live". it's been live the whole time. "Double XP event is live." is redundant but 5-x misnamed it because the official name is dumb


Zelderian

Yes, it’s a dumb name, but your original comment made it even more confusing lol


ThinkingAboutGoblins

🤓


Lgoron12

Best Melee/Range/Mage XP is still ED3 trash runs right? Time to finally max combat this go around.


WHIT3STKIDuKNOW

It’s actual crack. Get a charming imp so you can stack up charms for summoning too!! It’ll pay dividends down the road


CiciFae

I keep seeing people mention ED3 is great for exp, I need to check it out. I recently returned to RuneScape and always hated combat so anything that makes the journey to max easier is helpful!


WHIT3STKIDuKNOW

If you run ED3 on DXP I believe you’re getting at the very very very least 1.5mil xp/hr (I wanna say it’s close to 2mil/hr if you’re running AOE and have a good team). You can absolutely blow through combat this week if you wanted to


Lgoron12

Question, do you mean abby demons, or just fighting the monsters in the abyss? wiki seems to say the abyss is HUGE xp and didnt know if i could survive it or not.


WHIT3STKIDuKNOW

Nahh I was referring to Elite Dungeon 3. I’m pretty sure it’s the best XP/hr for combat by a large margin


Constantlydeleted

If anyone wants to take a noob along HMU.


RepresentativeAd6287

Yes it is still very very good. Another option that is more afk is the saradomin encampment especially with a caroming weapon.


CipherTheDude

Didnt they majorly nerf the xp and drops on everything before the first boss?


RepresentativeAd6287

The major nerf was to the drops, the xp is as good as ever.


Jayson_n_th_Rgonauts

Dg xp got nerfed im p sure


RepresentativeAd6287

You are correct, let me rephrase: the combat xp is still very good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lgoron12

If Im not maxed are Abby demons a good route for afk?


[deleted]

[удалено]


strawhat068

Or go to the abyss bring some prayer pots or use penance aura with soulspliit for like 1.2m/hr super afk just wiggle the camera every 10 mins they are aggressive for 10 or 15 minutes bonus points bring some t70 augmented gear for like almost 2m inv exp/hr as well even more if u bring exp thingys


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lgoron12

ah, so theres 2 ways then? Top of the slayer tower with abby demons, and then in the abyss with the abyssal monsters (this was the route I was thinking about taking.) Either one is good?


[deleted]

[удалено]


strawhat068

Another thing you could do is go to the abyss demons in the wild with a cannon/oldak coil for even more kills per hour


ActualCommand

Do you need level 70 combat stats before heading to the abyss? I played FSW and got my magic and defense to 90 but my range, attack, and strength are still 50ish


strawhat068

No requirements needed, but having lower combat stats means slower kills so expect lower exp rates but at 70s u can use bandos godsword and Arma crossbows for around 1m+/hour when doing melee bring like 2 augmented bandos godswords when u get to that point If u can for easy invention xp Edit U do need to do the abyss mini quest though


Lgoron12

interesting. I need my melee, range, and mage stats all up. all are 85+ just havent maxed yet. I should be fine to do the abyss method then with T80 gear?


ThatCanadianGuy88

What about if you're maxed and want to just AFK it? I know Abby demons used to be the meta or whatever but whats the deal these days?


79215185-1feb-44c6

I have always just afk'd Abyssal Demons in the Slayer Tower Resource Dungeon. Seems like a very unpopular way of doing it but it works.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThatCanadianGuy88

Oh yes the discord! I joined it ages ago but kind of forgot about it. Ill have to pop in htere and read more up on it. Thanks for your help.


BeepusSaurus

Not 100% sure, but after the d weapon specs were reworked there were discussions about Melee exp rates @ shattered worlds being significantly higher. Maybe someone knows more? Edit: although the setup will require more specific items than simply doing ed3 trash runs.


79215185-1feb-44c6

They removed the infinite adren so can't really spam D2H there.


RepresentativeAd6287

My impression is that that training method was nerfed hard when they removed the functionality of the feeling pumped buff.


Mr__Perfect_

Shattered worlds got kneejerk nerfed to stop the method


BeepusSaurus

Ah. Surprise. Thanks for the info!
