This is a link to the runescape forums that has all threads related to the cup, please take a look and comment here with information for the clan.
I will update this when more information is available.

Skilling cup week 1 WOODCUTTING - http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?382,383,6,65455158 (http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?382,383,6,65455158)

WHAT DOESN’T COUNT TOWARDS MY SKILLING SESSION TOTAL:
• Quest completion rewards
• Reward lamps with large amounts of XP on them e.g. from Achievement Diaries
• This is not meant to give an exhaustive list but illustrate the kind of XP gain that will not count for your session.
WHAT DOES COUNT TOWARDS MY SKILLING SESSION TOTAL:
• Normal skilling in the RuneScape world or in the Clan Citadel
• Use of bonus XP to boost the above XP
• Use of XP boosting methods such as Clan Avatar / Equipment sets / Reward items
• This is not meant to give an exhaustive list but illustrate the kind of XP gain that will count for your session.
Interesting how it's worded. That implies small lamps (e.g. small and medium?) can be used. They should provide an exhaustive list of what does or doesn't count towards the session total.
-
Bxp is allowed,,,, man this just ruins everything
-
bxp means it's dead, the clan with the biggest spinbuyers/tryhard efficient people will end up winning. Would be better if they just removed bxp from the equation fullstop it would make it more fair and it would all be down to which group was the most efficient over time
-
Bxp doesn't mean a whole lot if it's only over an hour. Most clans can afford to fund keys for that, but I agree that it shouldn't be allowed in the first place. However, if small lamps are allowed, as their wording may suggest, it's ruined. Either way, I don't like the idea of signing up to a competition where the rules aren't clear.
-
Ye I know it's only an hour but if you want to get the most xp you NEED bxp.Just takes away some of the competition I guess. Oh well RS 2K14 for ya

I'd love to see us enter this. I'm not 100% sure of what they're saying the rules are either but maybe if we scroll threw the questions thread and find
a question similar to ours, or, have someone post a question themselves, we'll get an answer quickly. O:)

Completely agree Red. Glad to see they'll have a more detailed breakdown next week.

i dont have enough time to put into jcup, nor want to seeing how bonus xp might be allowed. I still remember my clans method for each stat if any one wants them let me know.

Clan Leaders forums are all saying how unfair bonus xp is, I wonder of they change it/

What are the dates of those weeks?
-
1st and second week of september? lol
1st - 7th
8th - 14th
This is a guess based on it starting on first of the month.
This will be a six week skilling based tournament where each clan will submit a team of 10. These team members can each submit up to 3 special one hour skilling sessions the best of which will be counted to their teams total for that week. Each week will feature a different skill from these six - Woodcutting, Runecrafting, Mining, Fishing, Agility, Thieving. Find the rules here
Prizes:Clan logo design added to game, Clan added to In-Game Winners Plague, Recruitment Forum Sticky for one month after victory. Other prizes to be announced.
Week 1's skill is Woodcutting. We repeat, Week 1's skill is Woodcutting. :)

-
I'm a little confused

So its only for 3 x 1 hour ove the whole week? That should be okay so I can sign up to woodcutting :)
-
I will join for Woodcutting.
-
Ty guys need 7 more for week 1
i have filled in the submission for week one.. tbc on those competing
-
i'll join i guess, with anything. especially runecrafting, i need lvls lol

-

Yea, can submit 3 one hour sessions in total. You can choose to start a session whenever during the skill week I believe and it will be paused if you log. Your best session will automatically be used in the clan cup.

It's confirmed bxp will no longer be counted.

BEHAVIOUR:
• Breaking any game rules will result in your clan forfeiting their place in the cup.
• Exploiting any known bugs or new bugs in order to gain XP faster than the intended game rates will result in your clan forfeiting their place in the cup.
• You must use the provided in game system to submit your skilling sessions, accessible during the Clan Cup event via your clan vexillum.
• Multi-clanning is where one player competes for two or more clans, and is prohibited.
WHAT DOESN’T COUNT TOWARDS MY SKILLING SESSION TOTAL:
• Quest completion rewards
• Reward lamps with large amounts of XP on them e.g. from Achievement Diaries
• Use of bonus XP to boost the above XP

Yellow wizard calls for you every 15 mins or so and gives about 7.5k XP, the rest is just pure node hunting. I don't know if these (http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Runespan#Experience) rates are accurate, but like a true noob, I assumed they were

Yeah if you play in EOC and add a gold ore to your ability bar, you can drop an inventory in a second and continue mining.

We have been scouring through our code (or rather Mod Maz has) to find what XP rewards would not be included in the skilling competition if their skill was included.

So i suppose 77k isnt too bad then :P
What method have you done?
Anyone knows if granite is faster than doing gold deposits? Or if there is an even better method for skillers?
-
Lrc with Ava, shouldve used the lava titan things
-
Members- The Granite Quarry in the Kharidian Desert is a useful place to power mine. This requires the player to carry waterskins or an enchanted water tiara to avoid the effects of the desert heat, but granite provides better experience than iron. You can also cast the Lunar spell Humidify to keep your water skins filled (another less efficient method is, if you have completed Enakhra's Lament, you can run inside of the temple and use the fountain that you melted during the quest). You can get up to 50,000 experience an hour doing granite, although most players are only able to get around 40,000 per hour. If a player chooses to mine iron instead, the mine south of Piscatoris Fishing Colony is another good place to power mine iron. The Lava Flow Mine (after King of the Dwarves) is another way of power training that does not require you to drop ores. This method gives an average of around 50,000 experience per hour and does not require much attention compared to mining ores, and has side rewards including the golden mining suit. The Living Rock Caverns provides a large sum of experience mining coal/gold veins earning you 45,000-85,000 experience per hour[\b]
Judgeing by what Red said Lrc with a Lava titan or something and avatar bonus would be best exp
-
Thanks Matt I'll be doing gold deposits then with an ava hopefully.
-
68k first session |:
Hopefully is not that bad considering I'm 88 mining.
-
I did citidel and lrc got 73 in cit and only 67 in lrc, pity i can't recap tomorrow lol
-
Got 70 today was the second session, may leave the third one for saturday after citadel resets apparently its faster exp o:
-
Ye wish I'd waited for my third, went back to lrc and it was so laggy that I only just made 63 :(
-
Week 4's skill is Fishing. We repeat, Week 4's skill is Fishing
-
I'll do fishing ^^
-
Coolio sign me up if you need me x
-
I will fish
-
I'll fish aswell :)
-
I will fish if you need
-
i would LOVE to fish :D sign me up
-
So I am afraid we missed a week.. :( my bad!
Even so we would like to carry on for the further weeks!
From Sunday midnight it will be AGILITY!
We could use 10 people they fancy doing 3 x 1 hours killing sessions in agility.. Who's up for it?
-
OMG i fished my butt off too lol!
I'll agil if you need me
-
Sorry :/!!
Who else would like to join Agility? i need a lot more people by the end of today.
-
if no one else signs up then we cant do it :(
-
Week 6 is Thieving who's up for it?
-
Add me xxx
-
I heard that you can pause a session on the vexillum and that this supposedly has been abused. For example in the RC week, it may have been possible to do something like this:
Start session, get xp from yellow wizard, pause the session and wait for yellow wizard, start the session again and get xp from wizard. Repeat process.
I don't know if this was or still is possible to abuse, but word is that it at least has been and that some clans have taken advantage of it
-
Damn i never thought of that lol, I'll thieve if you need me XD
-
I barely have any time to play now during uni semester plus job |:
If no one else signs up you can sign me in I'll do my best to do the three sessions during next weekend perhaps.

RC week wasn't vex abused. RC week was people buying the win via tectonic bodies.
But teams will be DQ'd if they do this method in future weeks.

It was looked into that's why it took so long to post the results, so I assume issues were dealt with.

Tried out Prif elves, was a lot better, but I kept getting stuck with no clans available so I had to do a couple of PP runs ;_;
Could prob do another 20-40k xp with luck but meh
-
I looked the at results from the previous skilling weeks, the winners got these average gains:
Woodcutting: 283k/h
Runecrafting: 287k/h
Mining: 1320k/h
Fishing: 542k/h
Agility: 217k/h
What methods were used in each skill? None of the XP rates seem natural to me besides possibly agility (best course + sh boots, but even that is a stretch).

Holaaaaaa Amigo's #1 <3 I know all their methods and shall tell you once compo is over
Will tell you that Runecrafting was done with ~15 mins of tectonic bodies by each member. Only one EE can win is one they can buy.
-
Pity you would t help this clan when you was in it.

I actually did tell cc best methods to do Wc/Rc etc but no one listened to me, and if anyone asked me to assist them in getting better XP I would have.
+ It's not bragging or anything because I say "#1" about literally everything it means nothing at all.
-
How much does the tectonic method cost and what's the xp/h? Do the other top gaining clans use the same methods?

Lots of unrest about the clan cup of the clan leaders forums, here are a couple of quotes.
Lets hope things are sorted for next year
I totally understand how you feel. We're still trying with the clan cup, but it is extremely unmotivating and all my clan mates feel like those who are winning are "cheating" by using this pausing.
Jagex has also not been very clear with a lot of their rules, and when they addressed the lobbying issue it seemed like more people just abused it.
I think some of the methods being used for the clan cup is ridiculous and not sure why it's being allowed.. I know it's a one man show with Matthe running the clan cup but I think it should have more Jmods to help with the workload.
I did feel like there's no point taking part in the cup each week after seeing the ridiculous amount of XP the top clans are getting, which is no surprise if they're lobbying and then using divine locations each day? at least that's what I heard for the woodcutting cup.
My clan has done what you're doing Tigergal, doing the honest methods, such as lrc, or citadel with a few divine locations for an extra 20k xp or so and staying logged in-game for the hour. It's a shame other clans are not so honest.
Now another method has been disclosed that gives 40+ K one off hit to start the skilling session off - how do you get the materials for this - while you must have completed one of the Grandmaster Quests - yes an advanced player with good fighting skills.
...
Now a resource collected PRE the SKILL RUN after a very high level quest gives a massive advantage, atm I am sitting here in despair considering whether to just ban that method for my clan (as we did with geysers, keeping to the moral high ground), throw in the towel or pretend I know nothing.
Jagex clearly stated that the Elder Chronicles (why even try to hide it) were bug abuse. They should have reacted in a similar manner with the lava geysers, and it is a tremendous source of frustration that they STILL haven't, but maybe next year (wherein my clan will not be participating) they will do better. The skilling thread still has the "Lava Flow Mines" on the "does not count" list.... :S
At the moment I feel like a law-abiding citizen with guns taken away - the criminals will still use the guns, but I can't do anything but bring a knife to a gun fight. I don't have faith that Jagex will actually enforce their new position, but with a statement condemning it that clear, my clan cannot use that method.
-
I agree, it should be level a playing field for everyone, a straight 1 hour with no gaps and no boosts allowed. If you log the clock continues and tough! It's then it's down to the pure skill of the players to tweak their hour and get the marginal gains to make them top rather than the pure financial power of the noobs who think that they don't have to work hard for anything.
-
How much does the tectonic method cost and what's the xp/h? Do the other top gaining clans use the same methods?
Only EE did tectonics as far as I know and it's 3m xp/hr
Hola Amigo's never used them and came #2 so I assume other didn't either.
-
Most of those quotes Lilly are from people who believe xp gains such as that are impossible without "Cheating" which isn't true at all they are just thinking what they did is the best method and what they did is unbeatable.
For example woodcutting was 283k/hr and as a level 3 with 1820 total I get around 72-75k xp a day off divine yew locations if the clan used the "pause" method which many people keep bringing up because of the post made by one of the Jmods running the cup they assume it was done for every week of every skill (when this type of xp gaining was discounted), if that was true and I was doing it on my level 3 account I could have easily got 450-500k/hr in the skill session using this method, mains would have gotten much higher.
-
If someone takes advantage of an oversight, such as the pause method with divine locations, the session should be disqualified. I personally think it's obvious that they didn't intend for it to be used that way, but I could be wrong. It ruins the integrity of the cup in my opinion. Right now it's a race between the most knowledgeable players who are also willing to abuse the game mechanics. While I appreciate that knowledge plays a large part, I wish it was under different circumstances (compare to pking, where you need knowledge combined with skill to defeat opponents rather than pure knowledge about a particular game mechanic). While I'm aware that I would never win either way, I'd still like to see how I fared against others, but right now there really aren't any grounds for comparison. I cannot even see a point in doing this week's sessions, but I will for the clan. However, I'm never going to join an event like this again. I don't blame people for using these methods. If you want to win, it's stupid not to take advantage considering other clans will, and they won't be disqualified for doing so. The fault lies with Jagex for carelessness and not making it clear that you cannot under any circumstances take advantage of any oversights.

Jagex never removed the use of tectonic's from Runecrafting as they said that they weren't the best xp rates and was something better. Which I'd love to know what is better than 3m Rc xp/hr

These quotes are from the clan leaders forums and are all extremely knowledgeable players, I am sure they understand the game. These were just a selection of unhappy clan leaders.
A few have dropped out of the clan cup as will we.

They dropped out because they never stood a chance and rq because they believe clans who are always in top 5 are "cheating"

Ok Stee

Ok Stee
So you believe all of the xp gains up there are all cheated? Lmao
-
I belive those xps were not achieved in the spirit of the clan cup.

Top 5 mining looks interesting :P

Top 4 mining looks interesting :P
(http://puu.sh/c5YsT/920d57b586.png)
Geysers + scouts :> very easy and achievable
Main complaint with the mining week was people never knew geysers were counted, that is why a fair few never done them.
-
I hope someone in hola amigos recorded their sessions, I'd be interesed in seeing. I thought geysers were 450k/h (just something I heard from before). I think hola amigos would have won even without these methods

The list with things that would not work had LFM on there, I assumed Geysers came under LFM (srs, why wouldn't they?)
That and the main complaint of the entire thing is that being able to stall your timer by lobbying is against the spirit of competition. What's the point if you can do an "hour" over several with people helping you get stupid amounts of xp?

Only skill that was "stalled" was Fishing. Lol
Then they discounted it, so...
-
Fact is, none of the winners xp rates are anywhere realistic to what an actual skilling hour is, regardless of your view on it because you know the winners or those in the top few spots, they are gaming the system in order to win something meant to be a bit of fun.
-
Had a very interesting conversation with Mod Matthe about this.
He understood completely about the gains.
Lets watch for the changes next year

Session 2

Session 3
As Lilly has said Jagex are looking for ways to improve the clan cup, to make it a more even playing field. As Meg said, it's not in the spirit of the competition what the top gaining clans have done, the methods they have used are just unfair. They have purposely gone out of their way to find loopholes to exploit. Hopefully next years cup will be a lot more of a competition between all the clans that enter and not just who can exploit things the most.
I may be a little late in this too, but I fail to see why you would come here just to brag about your clan winning. Imo, I would be kinda embarassed if we felt we had the need to cheat to win something.
-
It should be noted that it's not cheating if it's allowed. I haven't done any sessions yet, been a busy week and I was demotivated when I saw the results, but I'll do one session tonight. I hope that is enough (unless I'm mistaken, only the best session from each player is used in the cup)

Best 2 red
