Not quite. Just checking now, the Elite top differs from the standard one only by +4 prayer, and the robe by +4 prayer and +15 Summoning defence. Other than that, they're no different, but +8 prayer on your armour alone is invaluable for training, since you should be using prayer with void. I tell everyone that if they have elite void and don't have a deflector, they're not using it to its full potential. For example, ditch the dragon defender and void gloves for the deflector and rfd gloves and you get an extra +6 strength and some extra defence at the cost of -13 in melee attack bonuses. In most situations that you'd use it in, and considering the accuracy bonuses void melee gives you anyway, that's an extremely good trade. If course, you can replace the gloves with Hati gloves, or the body with a Sacred Clay body. Finally, the deflector lets you ditch the frankly horrible body piece for mage and range, neither of which have particularly good shields anyway.

Firemaking? You're amongst a very small crowd of people who have both 99 agility and 99 woodcutting and yet don't have the far easier 99 firemaking. Besides, Skoll tries to eat the sun, not build it.

Lovely blog, good luck with your DGing efforts, I hope to get some floors done with you sometime.

Everything else is really good, but I really don't like the skill icons, and why are the the numbers orange, again? Have they forgotten that people openly rejected them last time they tried it? Lighter colours are easier to read on darker backgrounds. There's no avoiding that fact.

If you need an extra pair of hands with the transparenterising, Hedgehog, give us a shout. I have no idea how big this might get.

Heh, I just ran into Hedgehog and Lokie at Edgeville bank, in their GTIP outfits when I was about to make my picture. Small world. Tif Name: Will_H Runescape Name: Will Holmes Picture: Url: http://img812.images...illgtip2012.png

Good point.

Is there any alternatives other than buying a USB number pad? My laptop doesn't have a number pad, but the letters uio shows 456, jkl shows 123 in the top right hand corner. I can get the numbers to show up if I press the Scroll lock button. Good point, I forgot about that. If I used Shortkeys/AHK to hit the function key and ctrl at the same time to simulate having a number pad, would that strictly be against the rules? It sure would save my hand from stretching all over the keyboard just to utilize that feature. Don't take my word on it completely, I don't claim to fully understand how AHK works, but I don't believe that would be against the rules. As long as one button press doesn't cause more than one action, you're golden.

And you believe that because........? Why would fixing a skill be better than a new skill? Some skills, or rather how they're trained, are so boring that they actually detract from the game experience, and negative experiences tend to influence the player's opinion of the game than a positive experience. Firemaking and Runecrafting are the obvious contenders here. I still whine to this day about being made to get 70 Runecrafting to wield a Celestial Surgebox for Dungeoneering.

Oh, yeah, the deal with the possessed firemaker was clever. I think I got overconfident when I passed the first two tests, because the third and fourth one I failed horribly. The worst one was when [hide]Lina was killed, because Flint cared so much about her. I almost felt like I'd needlessly caused the deaths of two people.[/hide]

Definitely a mixed bag for me. I found the puzzle with the oil lines and the spark thingies tedious, but the agility course was engaging. Still, I never actually understood [hide]why Char was trying to kill the firemakers in the first place. Sport?[/hide]

120 Dungeoneering and 99 Strength.

Uno.

I can't say I've ever suffered from it, although I do personally know people who do. I guess that if you get it once, you're more susceptible to getting it again in the same place? I don't know, my knowledge only goes as far as 'if your hand starts hurting, stop playing', really.

The great irony is: In terms of a 100% online, no big download, no installer, no disc game Runescape has always been MILLLLLLLEEEES ahead in graphics. But it does give me pleasure to see rs graphics looking nicer than the blocky edged WoW graphics everyone used to throw up as an example of better graphics. Obv rs is still block in some ways, but they have worked that limitation into the graphical style so it looks intentional where as WoW just looks like erm yeah we decided to just use 5 polygons to make this 8 story tree house so please ignore the giant pointy corners that don't look very tree-like Oh yeah, I agree all the way. The bad graphics criticism doesn't apply any more, it's pretty good for a MMO now, and has always been the cutting edge of technology in terms of what can be done in Java. I love the style and wouldn't wish anything else on the game, I've always been one to celebrate graphics because it's so amazing from a technical standpoint.

RuneScape's always been known for poor to mediocre graphics, but I've seen plenty of people say "woah, that looks far better than I remember it". It still has a distinctive style though, so I can't see that anything's been lost.

It's long, but I would definitely put it near the top of the list if you can do it. The all around usefulness of the gloves makes it well worth it.

Oh, those silly North Koreans! I hope this gets better, but with all things North Korea, it's practically impossible to predict anything. We just don't know very much about Kim Jong-Un.

Sorry my post seems confusing. I was meaning that I wish Britain would adopt a similar approach to the OP. As a Briton, you know as well as I do about the wet lettuces we have for our own government. We are at the moment a pathetic nation that can't even stand up to Europe in a tough and dignified manner. The threat of terrorism is never small, no matter what. That's called letting your guard down before you're sucker punched. Sound familiar? It should do. While I agree America is no angel I would sooner we locked suspects up indefinately if it means avoiding another 7/7 or 9/11. Well, I actually think that the UK government's doing an OK job, considering the situation, but we should probably leave this particular discussion for a different thread. I think policies like indefinite detention actually contribute to the chances of more terrorist attacks. It becomes a lot easier to convince people to fight against the intervention of a country on a human rights mission when that country has a poor human rights record. Hypocrisy on that kind of scale just doesn't help the moral standing or safety of a country.

Even here the police can detain a terror suspect for 21 days before charging them with an offence, when normally they have 24 hours. I wish Britain would implement something like this. In Britain the lawyers crawl all over this preaching the human rights act looking for compensation. We also have very weak politically correct politicians who are just a waste of space. At least America protects its own interests. Give me that any day. Uh... what? Ginger_Warrior was referring to Britain when he said 'here'. As I said, we haven't had to detain for longer than 14 days since 2007, and the threat of terrorism is far smaller now than it was back then. There's no rational reason to detain for longer than 14 days now, let alone indefinitely. America's own interests includes not being hypocritical when it tries to criticise the human rights situation of another, because otherwise nobody will take them seriously. It's been bad enough with Guantanimo Bay and the repression of the Occupy protests, this is just making it even worse.

Even here the police can detain a terror suspect for 21 days before charging them with an offence, when normally they have 24 hours. It used to be 28 days back in 2006, then (I think) it was allowed to lapse to 14 days this year. Apparently there has never been a need to detain anybody past 14 days since 2007, anyway.* In any case, this completely pales in comparison to indefinite detainment. It's just shocking to say the least. * http://www.thisislon...ion-to-lapse.do

Thank you dude...........its a really awesome guide for dungeoneering........once again THANK YOU !!! No problem.

Are there any members that actually have problems with bankspace nowadays? I'm running at something like 220+ free spaces.

I assume the INSANE skyrocketing of various gear and items for one. Isn't that a good thing? It mostly boils down to whether it makes the game more enjoyable or less enjoyable. A lot of resources are really tedious and boring to get, and those are the things that attracted the bots. If the market is shifting towards boring things, it makes the gameplay worse. That can easily be remedied by Jagex making skilling more interesting, though.
