How does it work?

Throughout Double XP LIVE, base XP for most combat and skilling activities is increased:

Any restrictions

The Double XP LIVE boost is not applied to the XP earned through the following items or activities:

  • Assist system
  • XP lamps
  • Tomes of experience
  • Ectofuntus
  • Cremation
  • Dragon rider amulet
  • Auto-sanctifiers
  • Brawling gloves
  • Player-owned house altars
  • Wilderness Chaos altar
  • Dungeoneering wildcards
  • Sacred clay
  • Urns
  • Ancient effigies

It also does not apply to XP rewards given on hand-in for the following activities:

  • Quests
  • Daily Challenges
  • Jade Vine
  • Strange and golden rocks
  • Other Distractions & Diversions
  • Harvesting animal produce from Player-Owned Farms

It does not apply to XP awarded on hand-in of points or tokens. Examples:

  • Slayer point rewards
  • Brimhaven Agility Arena tickets
  • Dungeoneering tokens

The Archaeology & Invention skill benefits differently to others:

Archaeology

  • Base Precision will be doubled (this means double projects per hour from excavation).
  • Excavation & Screening XP are doubled
  • Players will not receive Double XP from restoring artefacts, tomes, research, mysteries or pylons.

Invention

  • Item XP is gained at +50%
  • Making items on a workbench (charge packs, siphons etc) gives +50% improved XP
  • Disassembling random items (logs, potions etc) will give +50% improved XP
  • Disassembling/siphoning equipment does not give improved XP

Necromancy

Necromancy will have an embargo on Double XP and bonus XP for the first six months after its release.

Other details

Ironman accounts do not receive an XP boost in Double XP LIVE.

Finally, while stored Bonus XP itself is not boosted, it is still awarded alongside the boost from Double XP LIVE. So a member training a skill with stored Bonus XP on Double XP LIVE will receive +200% base XP.
