RE: BXP: 21st-23rd of February - Blur - 2014-02-07
I think I'll cook up 140 Rocktail Soup, then use up my charms (should reach 22M+ Summoning XP)
After that, much Agility on my skiller I think. I need 85.

I guess some people really hate slow skills.
That, and the fact that buyables are near pointless during these weekends as the prices are 2-4x so it negates the xp gain.
I am sure a few buyables could get into that range, most notable summoning. In the case of summoning though, the longest parts is gathering the charms so even if you pay 2x the price and 2x the xp, it is still an advantage over usual training. The majority of buyables would not be like that though. Just wanted to point that out since I have heard wild figures thrown around like that a fair amount.

It all comes down to how much money you make, some people don't care to the price so it's always worth it to them as they have millions upon millions and will make no difference to them no matter how much they spend, others can't justify the increased prices just for "faster" xp at a much higher price.
Personally I'm not in any sort of rush so the cheaper the better.
RE: BXP: 21st-23rd of February - AlchemyHawk - 2014-02-07
Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense if you are planning on training the skill anyways. I understand if you don't have the money to buy it all, then I guess you are just out of luck.
If you do have some money but you don't train buyable during the BXP because they are "too expensive" you are using up more money in the long run, nearly every time (like I said, some exceptions). Unless the cost of the items is over 100% what it is usually is, you will be saving money.
RE: BXP: 21st-23rd of February - Rufus010 - 2014-02-07
But there are some that are over 100%, which was the point lol...
RE: BXP: 21st-23rd of February - AlchemyHawk - 2014-02-07
I know, and my point was the vast majority aren't.

Farming, Agility and Summoning are getting hammered. Just going to get 52-70 Summoning then do agility and doing farm runs inbetween.

I've been thinking lately is it better to train a buyable skill, or a skill you absolutely hate, and I've gone with the hate, so I'm doing Thieving, which is my lowest skill currently. Why do skills you like doing when you can get heaps of a skill you hate out of the way

Lucky for me the only skill I hate is also one of the few buyables I have left so win-win.

Probably knocking out 20m construction, tree runs of course, divination for the rest of the weekend.
