Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place, I don't even know if there is a right place, but...

I just handed in some Christmas wrapping paper to Pete at the GE and exchanged it for a present from the sleigh. The present contained 100 springs (X2) and a bxp star. I'm a lvl 3 skiller so have lvl 1 def and am combat lvl 3. All good so far...

I used my bxp on Runecrafting bonus xp and got the Congrats message in the chat box that I had advanced 2 Def lvls and was now Combat lvl 4.

HOW? Why?

Everything from handing in the wrapping paper to getting the combat lvl congrats message was in the chatbox with nothing to suggest how I got the Def lvls. I don't get it.

I've spoken to Mandrith in Lumb to reset my Def and have to wait 7 days to make sure I want to do it, but really don't want to waste a reset if there's a known bug and it'll get fixed by Jagex. I've also sent a bug report to Jagex but recently I sent a ticket on my other account and waited a few weeks for a reply to that one and Mandrith only takes 7 days.

Is it a known bug? Is it even a bug? Anyone else have similar experience? I searched the forum but didn't have any luck finding anything similar to my issue.

Does this mean I can't open any more presents for fear of getting more combat lvls?

Bit disappointed atm. :(

Hi Z0MBIE ALICE,

I too am level 3 in-game on RS3, but haven't had anything like that happen to me. What it sounds like that ultimately happened was that you had accidently selected the wrong skill to gain xp in.

If you truly believe there was a bug, and no way you'd accidently clicked on something that could give you any combat xp, like a combat dummy, the wrong skill on an xp lamp, etc, then send in a bug report in game. You can right click the red report button, then click "Report Bug" to do so.

Sorry to hear about the combat levels!
Keep it fun, friendly, and helpful.

No, it wasn't anything like that. There was no misclick.
It was a Bonus XP star, not a skill lamp. The chatbox shows I picked Runecrafting to gain the BXP and right below that was the congrats message to say I'd gained 2 Def Lvls and a Combat lvl.

I wasn't near any combat dummies and even if I was I wouldn't have hit it because I've got items equipped that make it impossible to fight or hit anything.

This was not of my doing.
I've got in touch with Jagex to see if it can be rolled back.

If you're a lvl 3 skiller, be careful of the presents from the sledge.
