Ok, Breathe

XP weekend is over. I'm not sure if we'll get to see another one based off of the overwhelmingly negative response on RSOF. I think it was a pretty fun time. The real key to this weekend really was in the planning.

Tweaking my tree checking route with a few dry runs allowed me to check all 12 of my trees with the 2.7xp bonus, tagging the last one about a second before it dropped to 2.5. All after completing the circus as well.

The end results:



I'm close to a Magic and Ranged level. Went from 82-84 Farming, 80-86 Summoning (so close to that unicorn, but so blasted far as well) and 76-81 Herblore. I managed to get everything done in the time I figured it would (tree run and circus going MUCH faster than I guessed) and I used my last gold charm just as the counter hit 1.2. It was pretty insane seeing 950,000 bonus xp in just an hour. I didn't even stop to read the level up messages, just kept going because I didn't want to waste any time.

I was pretty burned out by then. I didn't use much of the 1.2 or 1.1 bonus like I thought I would. Did a few Runecrafting runs, but nothing major. Lots of real life things got in the way most of Saturday and Sunday. I'm glad I got the majority of it Friday night.

New F2P quest released today. I think I might actually hop to a F2P world to do it. Should be interesting.

Bring It!

My bank, my inventory and what I'm wearing to start this off. I put my character to sleep next to the circus tonight so I'm ready to go right as I 'wake up.'

1) Circus
2) Tag Lumby tree right next to it.
3) Cabbage port to tag the spirit tree at port sarim
4) Varrock tele tab, tag tree there
5) Fally teletab, tag tree in the park
6) Duel ring to Castlewars, take balloon to taverly
7) Karamja Gloves teleport to Shilo, pay cart guy to go to Brim, tag Brimhaven tree, run and tag Calquat
8) Elf Crystal tele to Lletya, tag palm there.
9) Mobilizing Armies teleport, spirit tree teleport to gnome maze, get escorted out by following the elf, tag fruit tree there (NE of CW)
10) Camelot teletab, run to catherby to tag tree
11) Mobilizing Armies teleport, spirit tree teleport to gnome stronghold, tag fruit tree, run southeast and tag last regular tree.


I've timed the dry run of the trees a couple of times. I get it done in about 7 minutes. A friend did it in less than 5. Assuming circus takes me 15 mins (conservative assumption, I'm sure it'll be faster), that puts me at 22 minutes into the bonus. After that, castle wars teleport, bank everything, withdraw all pouches, shards, crimson charms, 20 talon charms (still bitter).

That should put me at about 23-24 minutes.
12) Kyatt tele to Piscatoris, make all talon charms
13) Duel to CW, bank crimsons, withdraw blues and make all of those
14) Finish crimsons & granite (1300 charms total between crim & blue)

That should be a little over an hour.

So, lets be conservative again and say that puts me at 1:45

15) Make 2300 Magic Potions

I'm guessing 2.5 hours for that. So 3:15.

16) Make 4k gold charms. Split between toads/birds. Toads get used first.

I'm guessing 3.5 hours for that. Then I'm at 6:45.

At this point the bonus xp is pretty negligible. I'm probably also mentally out of it.

Log out, maybe go to bed.

When I get up, probably thieve for a little bit, maybe an hour or until I get sick of it. The rest I'll probably just RC.

EDIT: I moved my pouches to the same tab.

I'm ready for it though.
