Bonus XP Weekend Investments, What should I invest in for it?

Someone was talking about it a week or so ago, that the next Bonus XP weekend will be in September sometime? (Anyone able to confirm)

So I was wondering, since I'll just liquidate bank to take advantage of this, what should I buy in order to resell? What planks, herbs, pots (for extremes IIRC) What makes the biggest profits?

Also what do you plan on leveling? I'll probably do herb or construction.

Who has done this in the previous weekends and have you got tips?

Edit; If this should/could be moved to somewhere more private if you don't want people taking advantage of your ideas lol?

I just did herb in the first 2-3 hours and i was done. 2.4m exp in 2 hours. The only skills you should really do are the ones that cost heaps, or are tedious as fuck but you need to do.

Should I drop it on mahog or oaks or teaks ( to resell)

What herbs you reckon I buy to resell? Edit: Oh true, (unf) pots probably the way to go. (what ones?) ranarr?

I'll buy like maybe 50m of shit for me

I guess it depends, are you going for pure profit or are you looking for skills you want to train yourself?

If you're training I'd suggest doing a Fruit/normal tree run first as they generally take very little time for a large chunk of (expensive) xp (I would expect at least 200-300k from my farm run during bonus xp).

Herb is probably the next most beneficial skill (as you get high xp rates/time) so you will save a fair bit of cash and will get a significant amount of bonus. I would suggest rather than stockpiling (unf) pots, you should go for supplies for the higher level pots that people commonly train with, such as papaya, Super energies, super attacks etc as the people who are buying these pots are more likely to be willing to pay more in the run up to Bonus Xp (rather than the welf herblore'ers who use prayer pots or w/e and won't be willing to pay much more).

Cons is another good skill, but again, go for the highest xp rate items, so Mahogany rather than Oak or w/e.

The key of it all is to be careful to watch when to sell it, in both previous Bonus Xp weekends the prices for supplies have actually peaked a fair while before the weekend itself (Like a week to 10 days beforehand) so if you hold your supplies too long you will find them hard to get rid of.

What I've been doing on a small scale. I clean my ranarr drops. Then sell them and I buy the unfinished with the gp. I'm saving very little on each one but it all adds up. So I think I have like 300+ of those atm.

I'm buying select seeds also that will sell well to others for the xp weekend when their prices are half what I think they will be on that weekend.

I can use everything my self so no lose if they don't sell. My goal is to buy 500 seeds. Trees and high herb ones seem like they will be the real profits.

I'm saving all my oak planks too. Start doing your kingdom faithfully and see the profits if you can hold off to sell the stuff.

Good luck

1. Buy bones when they're super expensive
2. Only buy enough to get 80 when you could get more levels if you bought the bones when they were cheaper
3. ???
4. No profit, just a low prayer level for the cost.

I was more meaning that of course as with every previous Bonus Xp weekend common XP boosts such as SC Tools, Brawlers, Gilded Altars, lamps etc. all do not provide the normal bonuses, so you're going to buy D bones and get literally less xp/bone than you normally would.

Red Chins - Range
Not sure for magic, I would assume most AOE Runes will go up in price?
Oak and Mahog planks would rise more than teak planks?.. Because cheaper people use oak and the more intense players would be using mahogany?
Unf pots for herblore, along with Extreme potions materials?.. So ideally: (Unfinished: Snap, Avantoe, Dwarf Weed and Lantadyme, maybe Ranarr) Along with Cleaned herbs: Torstol, Dwarf weed, Avantoe, Lantadyme and maybe Papayas and mud runes/Grenwall spikes?
I'm not sure what to do with Crafting materials? Blue leathers I guess or what?
fletching AND FM? = Magic logs?
Smithing = Addy Bars I would assume?
Is it worth investing in anything for Cooking?
Farming would be investing the highest level seeds correct? Or do they tend not to rise because they are always in banks normally?

I wouldnt bother with Farming/Cooking at all. With Magic id imagine that Astrals would sky rocket.
