Live XP Tracker
Stop guessing your XP rates. See exactly how fast you're leveling. In real-time.
The Problem
You're training Herblore. Is 400k XP/hour good? Bad? You have no idea. RuneMetrics Pro costs $6/month.
You're clicking through bank presets making overloads. You FEEL like you're being efficient. But are you? How does your rate compare to wiki methods? Is portable well worth it? Is your click speed the bottleneck? You have NO DATA. RuneMetrics Pro costs $6/month and only shows XP AFTER the session ends—not during. You can't adjust mid-session. You're training blind. Grinding for hours with zero feedback on whether you're wasting time.
"I wish I could see XP/hour WHILE I'm training so I know if I should switch methods. RuneMetrics only shows it after I'm done."

"I'm not paying $6/month for RuneMetrics just to see XP rates. That's half a bond."

Live XP Tracker shows your XP/hour in real-time. On-screen. Updating every second. Free.
Small overlay on your screen: 'Herblore: 385k XP/hr • 42 minutes to 99.' That's it. You instantly know: are you being efficient? Should you switch training spots? How long until your goal? No alt-tabbing. No $6/month subscription. Just live stats.
Real-time XP/hour overlay (updates every second)
Session tracking: XP gained, time trained, profit/loss
Time-to-level projections: 'X hours until 99 at current rate'
Skill-specific tracking (works for all 28 skills + invention)
Export session data to CSV for spreadsheet analysis
100% free (no RuneMetrics Pro required)
How It Works
Real-Time XP/Hour Overlay
Small overlay shows current skill and XP/hour. 'Mining: 87k XP/hr.' Updates live as you train. See your rate DROP when you bank. See it SPIKE when you use aura. Instant feedback.
Time-to-Level Projections
'4.3M XP to 99 Herblore. At current rate: 11 hours 22 minutes.' Realistic ETA based on YOUR actual rate (not wiki's theoretical max). Adjust expectations in real-time.
Session Statistics Dashboard
After training: see detailed breakdown. 'Session: 2hr 15min. XP gained: 850k. Average rate: 377k/hr. GP spent: 12.5M. Cost per XP: 14.7 gp.' Full session replay.
Multi-Skill Tracking
Training multiple skills at once (e.g., Slayer gives combat XP)? Tracker shows ALL skills gaining XP simultaneously. 'Slayer: 120k/hr • Ranged: 340k/hr • HP: 113k/hr.'
Session History & Export
Keep history of all training sessions. Compare this week's rates to last week. Export to CSV: analyze trends, track improvement over time, share with clan for method comparison.
Goal Milestone Alerts
Set custom goals: 'Alert me at 5M XP' or 'Alert me when 2 hours passed.' Get notification → review rates → decide to continue or stop. No more accidental 8-hour sessions.
