How does bonus XP work with runes?
It looks like that would be a limitation though. It seems like Bonus XP only increases the XP you get by the base amount you would normally get, it doesn’t actually double the 250% extra XP you get from using the Abyss + Demonic skull. You get double xp from based xp when you craft runes.

Is double XP Weekend a good time to farm?
Farming is often a neglected skill as it’s a daily skill, but a lot of people hate dailies. So Double XP weekend is a great time to train it.
