Summer Double XP - This Week In RuneScape - RuneNation (2024)

Now that the Sanctum of Rebirth has opened its doors, it's a great time to get your skills up to speed! Dive into combat to pump up your power, work on Herblore to get your potion game on point, or start preparing for the upcoming Mining and Smithing update - the choice is yours, with Double XP!

In this 10-day event, you have 48 hours of Double XP to use at your leisure. You can pause the timer at any point, so you won't lose even a second of precious training time. Double XP starts Friday, August 2nd and lasts until Monday, August 12th, starting and ending at 12:00 PM Game Time. Learn more about how it works here!
