First FSW XP Increase! - This Week In RuneScape

Written by developer on . Posted in RuneScape News

This will be a short one today, as we've been busy cooking up fresh ideas in our latest Game Jam! Read on for all the scoop on the jam, plus info on week three of Fresh Start Worlds.

Game Jam
New passion projects incoming!

Break out the whiteboards, it's time for another Game Jam! Every once in a while, our Mods across the studio take a period of time to work on passion projects - that could mean fixes for older content or totally new ideas to add to the game. Rather than the more structured approach of regular development, this is all about Mods experimenting with what they are passionate about, either alone or in groups.

In the past our Game Jams have produced awesome projects like the free-to-play graphics update, which we were able to bring to the game earlier this year. We've spent the last week Game Jammin', and we can't wait to show you what we cooked up for the latest round!

Because we gave the team a whole week to fully focus on their passion projects, there won't be any changes or patches in today's update. However, we DO have some brand new content to show you later this week (not from the Game Jam!) which will launch next Monday.


Fresh Start Worlds: Week 3
Skills under 70 level faster!

Fresh ‘Scapers, the XP boost goes up again this week! From now on, XP increases in FSW will be split into two types: those for skills below 70 and those for skills above 70. This week's change only impacts the XP rate for skills below 70, which makes it the perfect week to level the skills you haven't touched yet. Tier 2 Auras are also unlocked to help you on your way!

Here's this week's bonuses:

  • +50% XP (skills above level 70)
  • NEW: +75% XP (skills below level 70)
  • NEW: Tier 2 Auras Unlocked
  • +50% Accuracy in combat

Next week will see the first increase in XP for skills above level 70, along with further upgrades to the below 70 XP rate and another juicy bonus… you’ll have to wait and see!

Patch Notes
Fixes and improvements in this week's game update

Patch Notes

As mentioned in our Game Jam section, there won't be any changes this week as the team have put all their focus into their pet projects! However, our engineers are trying a service-based fix this week that you should be aware of:


  • We are testing a fix to the automatically chosen world you're given when you enter the lobby for the first time after loading the client. This should reduce the frequency with which you're served a Fresh Start world if you're not a Fresh Start player, and vice-versa. This fix will be enabled after the update, once we've verified that it works as intended.
