Zerker_Jane Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Worst update since EOC.I'm going to guess you're not pleased about pure resets? Correct. But only because Jagex is desperately focused on trying to lure players who don't want to come back, back. It's getting embarrassing. 1 99 farm easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylpheed Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Traded in my useless 2m Attack bonus exp and finally got Silverhawk boots. Best update of 2014 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strilmus Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 the bxp exchange has diminishing rate of return per skill type though, so at some point it won't be that useful to spam one particular skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylez Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Unable to get on right now, can anyone please confirm roughly how much bxp it costs to obtain silverhawk boots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Dash Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Karil's lightning is buffed up. How the hell is this "more fair"? Why didn't they do something like.... I don't know? Remove all 3+ bridge tunnels? “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”“Mmmhmm.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Do the bombs still hit 4800 at the extreme ends of it? Because that still makes zero sense lol.

Huge Noob Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm at work so can someone post if the bonus xp cost is "reasonable"? By that I mean it's not like 100k bonus xp for one skilling outfit piece? I have some bonus xp in a few skills I have maxed and I'm not worried about any 120s any time soon so I'm curious if I should waste my time.

Saradomin_Mage Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It's roughly 3500 Firemaking BXP for one point. For the other skills I had BXP in, they were all around 1500 per point. These are with the discount too, so after you've bought 200 points, subsequent points will cost twice as much BXP. Skill outfit pieces are 250 points each.

TheLad1 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 So they are valuing Silverhawks (admittedly uncharged) at 1/4 the price of a crappy emote that you will never use. Hmmm, let me think about that.................................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthchris117 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It is a tough call to if it is worth getting UNCHARGED Silverhawks for 500 Points. But I did it. I have been wanting them forever and I actually have been sitting on a bunch of feathers. Now I still have the choice of using the feathers for a skill I have all the bxp I need to get to 99 in already or sell them. I have so much BXP (over 2.5Mil) in Agility I can get 550 points just from that.... LOL I welcome your thoughts in helping me make this decision. Also I have about 280 more points from BXP I turned in. What else to get... I have all skilling outfits except Farming and I have Sapphire Golem, and wont have enough points to get all the pieces for the full thing.I'm thinking about just getting more BXP for a skill of my choosing and perhaps tokens with the remainder. ---------------------------- ';..;' ---------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skill outfit pieces are 250 points each.So let me get this straight...for your first skill outfit piece, you need 200 points at the discount cost plus 50 more at regular cost. That's 300*1.5K = 450K bonus xp in (most) skills. The pieces give 1% extra xp. So you need to earn 45 million xp (!!) to earn back what you spent on that piece (that is, 1% of 45M from wearing that piece = 450K). For subsequent pieces, you would need to earn 75 million xp to pay them off. ...Did I make a mistake? "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

Saradomin_Mage Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well, the rates I quoted are apparently only for skills at level 99. BXP in a skill is apparently worth more if that skill's level is lower. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

DeEliteOne Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Karil's lightning is buffed up. How the hell is this "more fair"? Why didn't they do something like.... I don't know? Remove all 3+ bridge tunnels?Do you mean Ahrim's lightning? Or is Karil's spinning considered lightning?edit: nevermind I'm dumb, almost 200 rots kills and I never realized how the lightning worked L Also, anyone know how much the range on bombs was buffed by?nevermind I'm dumb v2 Inefficiency = fun. That's objective and can't be debated. Ever.

Tim Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Assist resets at 00:00. Thank you ninja team! Only problem I have with the XP trading is that you can only buy DG tokens 1 point at a time. Looks like I'll be having fun spending 800 points... Right-click it. gives you the option to cash in 1, 10 or 50 at a time. 1 Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
