What exactly is a Bonus XP Weekend?
A Bonus XP weekend is an in-game event where RuneScape subscribers receive boosted XP gains for the majority of in-game activities. Its a great way for the community to come together and earn plenty of XP in their favorite skills.
How does the bonus XP work?
Once you log in over the course of the Bonus XP Weekend, you will receive a multiplier on any standard training activity you perform as you play. 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. Here is what the multiplier will be for each thirty minutes of in-game time:
0-30 minutes: 2.7x
30-60minutes: 2.55x
60-90 minutes: 2.4x
90-120 minutes: 2.25x
120-150 minutes: 2.1x
150-180 minutes: 2.0x
180-210 minutes: 1.9x
210-240 minutes: 1.8x
240-270 minutes: 1.7x
270-300 minutes: 1.6x
300-330 minutes: 1.5x
330-360 minutes: 1.45x
360-390 minutes: 1.4x
390-420 minutes: 1.35x
420-450 minutes: 1.3x
450-480 minutes: 1.25x
480-510 minutes: 1.2x
510-540 minutes: 1.175x
540-570 minutes: 1.15
570-600 minutes: 1.125x
Your bonus XP rate will not decrease if you are in the lobby, or if you are not logged into the game, so dont be afraid to take a break. The XP button next to the mini-map will change to an XP+ button for the duration of the weekend, so youll be able to keep track of the XP that youre earning.
What activities will earn me bonus XP?
XP earned for most activities in the game will be multiplied, as described in the table above. Training activities whose XP rewards are boosted include (but arent limited to) the following:
Attack and Strength - melee combat .
Ranged - ranged combat; circus.
Magic - magical combat and other spell casting (e.g. enchanting jewellery, alchemy, teleporting); circus.
Defence and Constitution available from all forms of combat.
Agility - completing courses; using shortcuts; Circus.
Construction - building furniture in your player-owned house.
Cooking - cooking food on a range, fire, or spit.
Crafting - crafting pots, armour, jewellery and battlestaves, and blowing glass.
Dungeoneering - completing dungeons.~
Farming - weeding, planting/harvesting crops, checking tree health (even on trees grown before Bonus XP Weekend).
Firemaking - lighting fires; burning evil tree roots; lighting beacons; burning shades; circus (after Firemakers Curse).
Fishing - catching fish.
Fletching - fletching bows/arrows/crossbows/bolts, etc.
Herblore - cleaning herbs; mixing potions (including finishing off unfinished potions).
Hunter - setting/checking traps; butterfly/bird/impling catching; falconry.
Mining - mining ores/gems; mining shooting stars.
Prayer - burying bones; burning shades.
Runecrafting - crafting runes at any altar (including ZMI/Ourania altar); combination runes; crafting tiaras.
Slayer - performing Slayer tasks.
Smithing - smelting ores; smithing metal bars.
Summoning - infusing pouches; summoning familiars.*
Thieving - pickpocketing, thieving from chests/stalls; Pyramid Plunder.
Woodcutting - cutting trees/evil trees.
~The bonus XP multiplier will be applied after all other Dungeoneering modifiers. The tokens you earn from a dungeon will be based on the XP you receive from a dungeon before the bonus XP modifies it. Dungeoneering tokens will still only be worth 1XP each if traded in with the rewards NPC. For example, if you complete a dungeon while the Bonus XP modifier is at 2.7x and get 10,000XP and 1,000 tokens, you will actually receive 27,000 Dungeoneering XP in total, but still only 1,000 tokens.
*Due to the nature of the Summoning skill, it will receive only a flat multiplier of 1.1x for these activities over the course of this entire Bonus XP Weekend.

So I was right about dungeoneering tokens, kind of stupid though. If you plan on doing any summoning like I do, just do it very last when your exp is 1.1x so you don't waste any of it.
