I grumble a bit at the idea of penance horns being used. Is it possible to get and fill more than one at a time?

We've received questions about what stored XP rewards can or cannot be used during skillweek. The main concern about using stored XP rewards (from minigames or certain quests) is where they potentially provide VERY large XP bonuses that unfairly impact the skillweek outcome. Some XP awards can be obtained prior to skillweek and, if allowed, could be "cashed in" for immediate, large XP bonuses and are therefore unfair (e.g., Brimhaven agility tickets). Some XP rewards provide significant XP bonuses, but they require active training for the XP bonus to be realized (e.g., penance horn).

Therefore, globally speaking, across all potential skills, the XP rewards are:

NOT allowed for:
  • While Guthix Sleeps (WGS) quest reward
  • Ardy elite cloak 4 x 50k xp lamp reward
  • Soul War zeals*
  • Brimhaven agility tickets*
  • Slayer points*
  • Ancient effigies*
  • Vinesweeper points*
  • Sq'irk juice*
*If trained/acquired DURING skillweek, the XP rewards can be used for starred items above. (None collected PRIOR to skillweek)

Allowed for:
  • Penguin points
  • Sacred clay tools
  • Penance horn
  • Brawling gloves
  • Shattered heart rock pairs
  • Pest control (PC) points

Hoping to get 80+ agility during this week!

Little tip:
Remember, if you time it correctly, you can do 2 circuses during the skill week ;)

Good luck to everyone on the levels :)

p.s: Don't forget to stretch before you start training. Oh, and drink lots of water to stay hydrated !

Aw, I won't be able to start participating in this until Wednesday at the earliest. Still on vacation. I've also got college classes starting back up, so I'll be fairly busy there as well. Oh well! I'll still give it a go to perform well :D

I'll see you all soon!
