I have met quite afew people who seem to anti-alcohol, and I guess I was afew years ago. Many people seem to think that they'll do something extremely foolish, and it will ruin their lives. Having never met someone that this has occured to in the 5-6 years I've been drinking I'd say it's rather unlikely. Firstly, your first few times you won't have the alcohol tolerance to get to the 'I don't know what I'm doing' stage. You'll either be in a good tipsy mood or a spewing in the toilet mood - I've never met a first time drinker who could walk, let alone make it to anywhere to make a fool of themselves, if they overshoot their tolerance. Secondly, I'd suggest doing it, atleast the first few times, with good friends and people you can trust. Yes people who don't often drink are more likely to get into situations where the can be taken advantage of, but once you know your limits it's alot of fun :) It seems to me that non-drinkers assume that alcohol is extremely addictive and will influence the other aspects of your life, and that drinking in moderation is not possible - people on drink to get maggot (drunk). I can personally vouch that this is not true, as I'm sure many other can. My personal situation is that I'm in the 4th year of my Masters Degree, miantaining a solid A grade average, drink most weekends (when my Uni-work allows me too), have an awesome time, then go back to Uni on Monday with some good stories to tell my Lab. It hasn't negatively effected my life in any way. In-fact I met my Girlfriend of 2 years one night on the piss and she's great :) I suppose it's a little like RS in the way that it's great in moderation, but is bad if you drink too much/too often. And typing that made me want to go get drunk, been a month since I last did due to exams :(

Thanks for the advice, that sounds great. And yes I have all chaotics and assumed rapier was best. Would this be any different for meleeing off task? Also, you're just saying tank Jads attackd? I didn't think it would be possible to out-heal a couple of unlucky hits. Thanks again.

Hi there, I already own two firecapes, so I have a little experience in the Fight caves. However I haven't done it in quite a long time (If I had to guess ~2 years). I recently got even a Tzhaar task and decided to take the Fight Cave option. Since I already have two firecapes I'm not overly worried if I fail so I thought it would be a good option to try meleeing the caves as I heard it can be done in around 40 minutes. So I was just wondering if anyone can give me a good strategy, and gear and invent setups for meleeing the entire caves. I realise I will have to kite the 360's which I am fine with. But a general outline would be good. Like is it best to trap to 180's, kill prioritizing etc. i would also like to know the best method for actually killing Jad, I've done a little research and it seems like kill him until he's near half health the claw/veng him out before the healers have a chance to heal him, but I'm unsure if this is right? and how about up till this point? I should still be able to prayer swap alright but alot of people mention just tanking him? I have access to Bandos, Claws, EEE, and the other recommended slayer gear (Fury, serker (i), barrows gloves etc). My relevant stats: 99 attack, strength, range, magic, hp. 95 prayer 96 herblore 74 defence So hence I have access to Ovls and Turm, which I assume will make this easier? Thanks in advance :)

Was he using an Aura? I've been hearing about a glitch that allows Aura's to be used even when they're turned off in a duel. Obviously then the equilibrium Aura would be amazing for boxing.

I agree, probably not a good idea to include half keys, but definitely include clue pictures (maybe just good rewards if you do alot?). Keep up with the log :) However, Bandos + Glory made me facepalm.

Yes then it is definitely worth it for you. Plus, it is only 2k tokens which in the long run (assuming you plan on getting a chaotic at minimum) is nothing.

Ashes + Dragons - Without Yak you'd be banking anyway, and if you plan on filling your invent at the end, when you need to bank, I find in general the gems you get add up to more than 1 dragon bone. Rune/Addy Items - Again assuming no Yak it would pay to get spell book swap for rune items and just leave addy as the gems will add up to more than an Addy full helm. Starting with full invent - Should only occur when using a cannon, and in which case you should most likely bring a BoB anyway. @Pulli, if you're doing this for money then you will be banking multiple times a task anyway so 1 invent spot isn't much of a loss.

It's only 2k tokens. I take it on every slayer task I do, and atleast get a couple of gems, so I think it is very much worth it. Those who are saying 'it's a waste of an invent space' - Seriously? It's one spot, you must be doing something wrong while slaying if you end up with a full invent.

I personally understand both points on the effigy debate: Ring_World is trying to argue that if you had fun, who cares if faster methods come out. While others are trying to argue that levels (and xp) in slow skills was time wasted prior to effigies coming out, since they faster and less of a grind. I think what Ring_World is trying to argue is that playing efficiently and for xp/ranks is =/= fun. This is not true, and I'm going out on a limb here saying that everyone going for ranks finds the competition aspect almost as fun as the game itself and hence the frustration at effigies being released and the downgrading of their achievements and time wasted that could have been used to gain ranks in other skills that were not significantly altered by effigies. I bet Makaveli and A13d would not be nearly as opinionated about an update prior to the release of effigies that involved actual runecrafting and just had slightly increased xp/hr. tl;dr Ring_World needs to understand that in the case of alot of people 'e-achievements' = fun, and that time used prior to updates could have been used for 'e-achievements' that are still as highly regarded as they were, and that = more fun, than the downgrading of an achievement. But what do I know, I've spent 200+ days and my stats still suck :) I spent alot of time on RSC and don't regret it at all, but if I found playing for ranks fun then I would be annoyed. Just because one persons opinion of fun is different to yours, doesn't make them wrong, just different.

@NikolaiH If you actually bothered to look his current account up, you'll see it is already maxed and he's looking to do it on another account in the fastest time possible. Back on-topic, I suppose if money is a non-issue then it may be efficient to look into cave crawlers for slower skills once a decent level is reached (80 seems to be the number thrown around quite often) and if you crawler after finishing slayer and before finishing other stats (but have them high enough to investigate the effigies) then you won't get any wasted xp (ie, xp in skills over 99). Hope that made sense.

I will take all of the above into account :) Thanks you very much. I still can't find a guide stating whether it is still possible to get into the lair with two people though. If it is can someone tell me the method please. Thanks again.

Hi :) I do a decent amount of DKs with a couple of RL friends of mine, the set-up we use is 2 hybrids (killing Supreme and Prime) and a mage killing Rex. However, one of these friends recently quit and the other was hacked. I want to help the hacked one rebuild his bank and we immediately thought of DKs, but due to bad experiences in the past with randoms we are not so keen to try our usually set-up with 2 hybs and a mage. So this got me thinking, is it viable for me to solo hybrid with my friend maging? I have Ok stats (see below) as well as good gear and for maging you don't really need much gear at all. My stats are as follows: 99 Range, Attack, Strength, Constitution, Mage. 74 Defence. 95 Prayer 88 Summoning 89 Herblore And the gear I was thinking of using is: Verac Helm, Karil Top, Bandos Tassets, Fury, Serker ring, D boots, SW cape, Barrows gloves, Chaotic Rapier and Chaotic Crossbow (with Diamond bolts), and zammy book. I will be using extreme attacks and strengths, with normal range pots and then usual invent of brew/restores/prayers + using a Uni for healing and either claws or eee for a spec weapon. So now onto the questions: 1) Is it possible to solo hybrid with my stats/gear/invent? 2) Is there any changes I should make to my gear (maybe use ranger boots and archer ring as I have extreme melees but not super range)? 3) Should I use prayers or curses? I currently have more than enough tokens saved up to buy rigour and I was thinking that in this situation Piety + Rigour would be more useful than Turmoil + SS, however I am not entirely sure. 4) If this is not viable is there any other duo method for DKs that would work well? (keep in mind my friend only has the bank for basic gear: ie just bought Guthan and other basic gear and enough pots for 3 trips and his cash stack is now 0 - also his stats are not quite as good as mine) 5) Also, is it possible to get into the lair with only 2 people since the update? (we usually used 3) or will we have to find another group/someone going to burst lobs I know the trips will be relatively short due to lack of invent space for ppots, but I don't really survive at DKs well without Uni so that rules using a Tort out. Thank you all very much for your help

Nobody is forcing anyone to play, if you don't like the game due to its grind, don't play. Simple.

Drops: Black Demons: 200 Battlestaffs - With ROW (approx 150 kills through task) Iron Dragons: 11k Pure Essense - With ROW (approx 70 kills through task) Spiritual Mages: Uncut Dstone - With ROW (approx 120 kills through task) Black Dragons: 200 Battlestaves -Without ROW (Approx 60 kills through task) Should note that first 3 happened on the first day of update, then went dry for a couple of days (while using ROW), swapped back to berserker ring yesterday and got the drop from the dragons.

If you quested your current defense levels carry on with that account, if the defense levels are trained then start again as somewhere along the line you won't be able to get turm, serker helm, barraws gloves etc (not entirely sure, but I know to have a max serker, with all boosts, you end up with 47 def and that's all from questing).

You still log in with your original username, I still log on with my original name (my account was made in 2002) and I've changed my name 3+ times and I've had my latest one for ages. The time it takes for someone to take your old username depends on how long you had the name.

I personally disliked this video, too preachy as I think someone previously mentioned? This video actually made me kind of angry to be perfectly honest. Just because he couldn't find a good balance between real life and gaming doesn't mean that every other gamer can't which he seemed to be implying. Most of my good rl friends are avid gamers playing a wide variety of games ranging through all genres of games, and none of them, including myself have ever let our gaming take control of our lives. Hell, I'm closing in on 2100 total on RS, 5th Prestige on MW2, and being able to drive Mario Kart 64 blindfolded and yet I still manage to find the time to have an active social life, a long term girlfriend and get a Tertiary education (in the form of a MSc in Chemistry if any of you care). Just because a select few can't maintain this balance doesn't mean that every gamer is an obese loner with minimal social skills, which is the stereotype generally portrayed in the media and that this video does nothing to help. I can see how this video may be insightful for a select few however most people that play games have found this balance and this video just seems make gamers sound like they have a lack of self control, which is extremely untrue. tl;dr He didn't have self-control, while most other gamers do so don't preach to us. Done ranting now :)

I've got way too many to remember, but I'll share the ones I do. - I'm 20 and I've been playing runescape for around 7 years and it doesn't embarrass me that I play. All my good mates (from Home and University (differrent cities)) know I play, even my Gf knows. They all jokingly make fun of me for playing but doesn't worry me. But I'm scared to tell them I've spent 180 days on this game :) - My Family don't know that my Gf is a good friend of mines younger sister (only a year younger than me) but he and his family do. - My grades were Ok last year at Uni, but I had 2 very bad marks so I lie to people and say they were better than they actually were. However I had 2 very good marks which I say were worse so I'm telling people the right average lol. - I lost one of my Scholarships due to those 2 bad Papers and I haven't told my parents. - I drink far to often for my own good and I suspect that's the reason for my poor marks. - I injured my leg a year ago and still use it as an excuse to be lazy (though truth be told it still is kind of sore and should probably go see a Physio about it again but I'm too lazy). - I have a strange attraction to accidental nudity pictures. - I set a sink in my Chemistry lab on fire and set off the fire alarm. No one knows it was me. - I once had a Girl stalk me for a couple of months. It was strange but I found it rather flattering. - A guy I know is 'involved' with a friends Mum. My friend doesn't know but quite afew people do and I feel I should tell him but I haven't. - I hate my Best friends Gf and now there living together and are potentially getting engaged. I don't know how to tell him he can do better and that shes not a nice person (aka B***h). - I just got a Throwing Knife game winning kill in MW2 and I may have danced for 5 minutes (until the next game started anyway :D) and txted 3 of my mates :P I think that's enough for now :D

I actually completely agree with the Airlines taking this kind of action. I recently returned to University after my holiday break had finished and had to pay an extra $20 because I was around 2kg over the baggage limit (which I was fairly annoyed about). What annoyed me even more was the guy infront of me would have weighed over 160kg (whereas I weigh around 70) and would have taken up more than one seat and he was allowed away without a fine and I had to pay for having a total weight of around 95kgs (Including hand luggage). I believe obese people should have to pay for more than one seat if they require it and possibly the Airlines should implement some kind of system where total weight is calculated and not just luggage weight (I know that this is bias but it's just rather annoying when someone whos total weight is 80kg more than yours and you have to pay for being overweight :S)

my mains name: Josh_Metal (my name is josh and i like rock music, yeh i don't like it either) I have afew other accounts lieing around: mightylegacy (my cars a subaru legacy and my mates always call it the mighty legacy) leavemessage (like leave a message) areyoufinishd (are you finished) ohiwishtobelevel3 autoeroutfit (walks round in the outfit you start off with like autoers) crown please (account made after having mutiple people ask for my yellow phat) and wow "omfg" has awesome stats lol looknonumbrs (an account i made just now )

same thing happened to me, i was trading uncuts for cuts, but i was saying cutting gems free, and someone reported me for item scamming and i also got a black mark, but my appeal was successful im sorry to hear that yours muskee wasn't and bware i have met you afew times ingame and i must say she is one of the few generally nice people out there and i was very shocked to hear her story Josh

maybe needles are stackable to get some silly person to make a topic about why needles are stackable?

i love the music that many consider to be gothic or emo, and my friends and my girl friend often call me emo or goth because of it, but in truth im not ether of those things, emo or goth is a lifestyle choice which is sterotyped to people that listen to hard rock music, it is true that most or possibly all emo's listen to that kind of music but that does not mean all of them do, in fact most (90%+) do not cut themselves or dress in black clothes, this is merely a lifestyle choice which goes hand in hand with hard rock music, saying this i do not mean that emos or goths are created because of the music they listen to, it is more thier lifestyle choice and many goths or emos choose to be and do not do it bacuse of the music they listen to
