Update:Treasure Hunter – Pulse Cores
It was added on 9 April 2015.
Earn pulse cores on Treasure Hunter this weekend and help your friends with stackable XP buffs.
Available from 00:00 UTC on 10th April it's a great way for you and your friends to benefit from skilling together.
Pulse cores stack in your inventory or your pocket slot, and each acts like a chunk of Bonus XP, granting you increased XP in whatever skill you're training.
When a core depletes, it sets off a pulse wave, granting everyone in immediate vicinity a 2% XP boost for 10 minutes, plus another benefit such as replenished prayer or life points, or stat boosts to several skill levels.
This can stack up to five times, for a maximum of 10% XP boost, and each pulse that affects a player will renew the 10 minute duration.
Note that you do not receive the 10 minute XP buff from depletion of your own pulse cores – only others' cores. Also, Ironman accounts cannot receive the buffs.
So stock up, gather some friends, and settle in for some awesome XP gains.

What is Treasure Hunter?
Treasure Hunter[help] is a minigame – playable from within RuneScape - where players use Keys[help] to claim in-game items as prizes. These range from useful resources to rare weapons and exclusive gear.
Playing Treasure Hunter is simple – click the treasure chest icon that pops up when you log in. If you've not played before, just follow the on-screen guide.
Everyone gets at least one Key per day, and RuneScape members get two. You can earn more Keys while playing the game[help], or stock up by redeeming Bonds.
If you'd like more, you can also buy Keys on the website, or by clicking 'Buy Keys' within the Treasure Hunter interface in-game.
