The loud minority. Have you ever noticed that you can smell a skunk's spray from a mile away, but you have to put flowers right up to your face? Honestly, I think that this declination is indeed the minority (the previously mentioned "bad eggs", or something) becoming more outspoken. The bad posts are simply easier to notice than good posts, as (in my experience, at least) it is easier to notice sub-standard than standard.

It would get wanna-be mods out of clan chats. All they would have to do is stand by the armour painter (assuming there was only one place to do this) with report abuse ready. They would get rid of the idiots; we'd all win! If there's a way to report armour...

What? :-s Have you been reading this thread at all? It isn't 20 years ago you know. There are just as many computer literate girls as guys. I doubt that. But the learning capability is the same I suppose. You "suppose"?????? ...I can hardly believe the ignorance of that statement. I didn't realize that we had suddenly gone back in time a hundred years. Of course women and men have the same capability for learning, be it computers or anything else. I highly doubt this. Males and females have different brains. Well, not the structure, but the way they process and store information is very different. I would say they have the same capacity, being the same size and all, but due to the different way they process information, I'd guess that men and women learn quite differently and more easily learn about different subjects... Of course, I only know anything about the brain from health class and the Discovery channel. If you have information to the contrary, please share. Also, where I live, fewer girls are computer literate (as far as I can see), but the difference is small. Actually, due to mandated technology classes near me, more people are becoming computer literate; most, however, simply use cell phones for everything.

Okay, if I got this right, then these requirements are too high for an armour that would apparently be weaker than rune (which is all that Guthix, Saradomin, and Zamorak armour is). It may help your cause to add in the stats of these sets and such. You don't have what parts are in each set listed, either. I think you may be on the right track; we just need some more information before we know if this is a good idea or not.

Okay, here is my real response (my suggested changes and my input are italicized): [hide=DIVINE BALL AND CHAIN (10)]-A huge ball and chain. It's very slower, slower than a 2h and the Barrelchest Anchor. It only uses Crush attacks -160 crush attack, 147 strength -Wrath of the Gods ("Feel the Wrath of the Gods!") 100%. Show the full might of the divine with a huge hit with multi target capacity and a 20% attack and strength boost. Maybe ten percent instead, but great otherwise. Due to it being multi-combat, ten-percent would be good, although I suppose that would warrant slightly less special bar use.[/hide] [hide=DIVINE CLAWWHIP (4)]-A sharp claw attached to a long chain. It is like a halberd, and operating it is the equivalent of casting Telekinetic Grab. Whip speed with slash attacks. -65 slash, 65 strength -Clawshot ("No running away!") 100%. Has a range of 6 squares, draws the opponent right next to you, and stuns for 15 seconds. Cannot be used over barriers. Six bars for this one. If it works as I assume (drawing them from one square away to directly in front of you), then this should probably be worth a bit more.[/hide] [hide=DIVINE DAGGER (3)]-This small dagger reduces your opponent's stab and slash defense by 1-3 and defense level by 1-3 every hit (average about 1.5) Dagger speed, slash and stab attacks. -65 stab, 60 slash, 68 strength -Ultimate Puncture ("This'll be over quickly") 50%. Unleashes 3 hits in 1 turn in a "Z" pattern. Well, I'm not sure it's possible to lower stab and slash defense, but if it is, then I like this one. Maybe just one more bar to create it. It has a pretty sweet ability.[/hide] [hide=DIVINE HANDCANNON (10)]-A strong gun which can fire cannonballs and explosives. It can hold 10 at a time, but operating it will reload the first set you have in your inventory. However, the reloading takes up a full round of combat. This is slower than the D Bow, and you must wield it with both hands.. NOTE: The cannon has a bayonet in the front of it. If the opponent is right in front of you, the bayonet will do an addition 5 damage each hit. -130 ranged -Blowback Cannon ("Death awaits you at hell's gate") 100%. 10% extra damage and 15 second stun. Projectiles: HANDCANNON: Cannonball: 4 per steel bar, max: 40 Small Explosive: 40 per Divinite, max: 50 Large Explosive: 20 per Divinite, multitarget, max: 50 Death Bomb: 5 per Divinite, multitarget, max 60 I like it. The steel cannonballs just shouldn't be too much stronger with this. Perhaps lower the max of those by five, but with that kind of speed, I see how the present number could make sense. It should just be more tempting to use the Divinite cannonballs.[/hide] [hide=DIVINE STAFF (7)]-Perhaps it can match the powers of the Staff of Armadyl?nah...well...perhaps... Staff speed -25 magic -Divine Zone ("Welcome to my Zone.") 100%. Works regardless of the cast spell's success. Reduces the opponent's magic defense in half (if 20, then 10, if -20, then -40) and then -30 from that number. The effects last for 1 minute, but each "splashed" spell on the opponent reduces the timer by 10 seconds Again, I'm not sure how possible this special attack is, but I like it.[/hide] [hide=BOW OF STORMS (10 bars, unf. bow, Armadyl)]-A huge bow holding the power of storms. Longbow speed. -120 ranged -Hurricane/Tsunami/Tornado ("Victory is ours!") 50%. A storm (random one of the 3) trails behind the shot arrow. If hurricane, it will bind for 15 seconds and do 20% extra damage. If tsunami, it will do 25% extra damage. If tornado, it will bind for 20 seconds. I just wanted to say that this special is pure genius.[/hide] [hide=Armor]I need to do a bit more work on the stats of the armor, but for now I'll give you the bar requirements and 3 special points: Melee armor/Ranged/Magic: Bar cost Helm/Coif/Hat: 3 Platebody/Body/Top: 5 Platelegs/Chaps/Bottom: 4 Towershield/Roundshield/Shield: 4 -If all 4 pieces are used, the player gets 10% of all damage taken eliminated at no cost. If using a 2h weapon, only 3 pieces are needed. -If a player uses a Divine Weapon IN ADDITION to the set, an extra 5% is eliminated -To do this, you must sacrifice 10 snakeskins and either a rune platebody for melee, black dragonhide body for ranged, and mystic (any) top for magic at the Altar of Guthix to receive Guthix's blessing on that item. The blessing wears off after 10 hours of combat, but you can recharge it. The cost noted above is for one blessing. One blessing blesses up to 4 different armor pieces of one combat type. (If you only have 3 fully degraded, it will only bless those three and you must go back to bless the last piece separately at full cost.) Let me get this straight... You make the armour from the bars once, but recharge it, right? If so, this needs no changing.[/hide] I only really responded to where I have some type of input. All in all, I think that this is a brilliant idea and should be implemented.

I don't, unfortunately, have time for a proper response to this thread at the moment, and do not know when I shall have surplus time in order to do such. However, I'd like to say now that even though it could use a bit of tweaking (the Dark Blade, for instance, has very high stats. If they were lower by maybe 10-15, it would be perfect [in my opinion]), I support it overall. P.S. You never actually mentioned if the Dark Blade would be two-handed or not. I think it actually could work out with the current stats if it were to be. Just make it a hand-and-a-half sword, so it would have high speed and would require two hands.

Instead of a berserker effect (although I do like that idea), the amulet could possibly either slow down or stop the degradation of crystal items (it can have a fairly good effect as it's rare and presumably untradeable). The hammer is pretty interesting. One might prefer to use an SC hammer for experience, or this Dwarven hammer for speed. As for the pickaxe, we're apparently already definately getting a dragon pickaxe according to MMG, so the hammer would be a better reward. EDIT: Oops, I forgot to add that I support this idea.

I'm a terribly addicted lurker :oops: Whenever I am in reach of my computer, this site is up.

I thought "[wagon]" and "hell" could be said without altering the word. But, you can get banned for saying them based on context. Examples: "Aww hell... I just got my [wagon] kicked by Jad." This is fine (or at least nearly fine). "GO TO HELL YOU *********** [wagon]!" Bad. Reportable. If it's offensive, it's reportable, basically. The words won't ever be starred out, but they can be offensive. Use them wisely or not at all; preferably the latter

You read it, right? The thread creator does not think everyone should keep their skills at level one. They just want to know why and how people grind for higher levels.

Why do you care? -.- Because, if there is a rule, stupid, needed, or otherwise, it should be enforced. Think about it this way (I know that by now you're tired of people making RS to real life analogies, but bear with me)... If I decided that I should be allowed to walk around nude, despite laws against it, it would most definately take away some of other people's enjoyment of their life (they would go blind from overexposure to sheer awesomeness if the glare from my body didn't get to them first). The police arrest me. "No!" I say, "I can't be arrested! I think the law is stupid and unnecessary!" Do they care? Of course they don't. That made sense in my head, I hope it does when it makes its way into all of your heads. Also, none of this is from personal experience.

That was simply hilarious. Back on topic, I've got 82 H.P. (which takes longer than 81 strength if you're training strength specifically), but I did not really get it from grinding out those levels. It is possible to have that 81 strength without some terribly boring grindfest; and to get a 99, or millions of xp., all you have to do is set small goals that work up to th larger one with some rewards for yourself thrown in there. Theoretically, at least.

I don't know if this was mentioned before (I did not read the whole thread carefully :oops: ), but in the one Postbag letter, the Chaos Elemental says that is it old sometimes, or something to that effect. The rest of my speculation will assume that the Balance and Chaos Elementals share many properties. The statement by the CE and this thread combined made me think that possibly the CE (and BE) exist simultaneously at every possible point in time, so that if the elementals were a vertical line |, and each point in time was a horizontal line -, then combined they would look like this: ...++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++... If this was the case, what the Balance Elemental says is the past of a future (but it does not need to say it in the future perfect tense, as it has already happened), and that is why both elementals seem so cryptically insightful. EDIT: Upon rereading this, I realised that my previous statement lacks sufficient reason. What I meant is that they two are so all knowing because they have seen everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen. Also, I like the taunt theory that I believe was mentioned here. (If it wasn't, I mean that what it is saying is just meant as a taunt).

But "Hai" is longer than "Hi"... That can be blamed on lolcats, but the abbreviations are definitely due to cell phones. Precisely. Honestly, I don't like it at all when people spell things wrong, and my girlfriend was fine with spelling correctly and using grammar (her friends were terrible, however), and then she got a cell phone. "ttyl ttfn ily bye" was what I got before I went to sleep (talking on AIM, of course). She's recovered from this, though, so there is some hope.

I'm tall. Well, not really... About 6'2", compared to my father (6'6") and older brother (6'9"). I just look taller because I'm skinny (bones, then muscle, then a small layer of fat during the winter to stay a little warmer). Some people know I do martial arts, but they don't make much note of it. At martial arts I'm known for my excessive hair, ha ha. Also, people at school think I'm smart. I don't really think I am very smart, but I learn well and I'm a fairly good teacher, so they come to me for help on work. Funnily enough, at martial arts class, they don't think I'm smart. I teach people there, too, though. However, it's my first year in high school, so there's plenty of time for my classmates to learn to shun me. Oh well.

I had this same problem, however I had planned... I just cut yews during my episode as a nonmember. It turns out, though, that if you right click the items in the Exchange, you can select to withdraw them unnoted. Shame I didn't remember that until just recently. Also, welcome back to members.

Trawler :thumbsup: No, do either monks, which are great (and all of them will sell eventually due to 99 cooking being so sought after), or sharks if you're really worried about money. If money isn't too important, fly fishing is some quick levels to be gained, and I hear leaping sturgeon are quite good experience with some cash, but I haven't fished them or anything, so I wouldn't know.

You may as well raise it slowly so you don't spend too much cash on it by accident or something. Summoning, I hear, is wonderful for many things, so it's something to look into for sure.

This is correct, but remember, to complete While Guthix Sleeps, you cannot have the bare minimum attack and defense listed here, as they must add up to 130 total. Not that the thread creator will have problems with this, but just in case someone else reads this thread and doesn't pick up on that.

At the moment, grey chinchompas cost less than two thirds of what red chinchompas cost (415:679, respectively), so if their max hit is pretty close to the red chinchompas, then they are probably better to use money-wise. On hunting grey chinchompas (as I cannot hunt reds), the spots, to my experience, aren't usually overly crowded, except at maybe one or two worlds at peak times. For the best results, go to a highly populated world while hunting so they will respawn faster.

No, but there's nothing wrong with adding a high-leveled and optional teleport there... I would still charter ship there due to my low magic level, but I support the idea.

Could actually make a little bit more I think as I raised the price from 4gp to 7gp by myself \ THAT WAS YOU?!?! Anyway... Since I can't afford that myself (although, maybe if I tried to make some money for once...), I give you ten/fifteen, no?

Why does the last picture lack claws? Are they just wielded, or banked? For the rate, 6/5 for A) Beating that quest, 2) Getting Dragon Claws, C) Keeping and PK'ing with the claws, and 4) creating a thread that spawned the following ownage statement:

No_99, I think you posted in the wrong topic by accident... 10/9 :lol: Good job owning my strength level.

Yeah... It would probably still be faster to simply use Bounty Hunter, but a bit safer to use the duel arena, so since the duel arena would be risk-free, it would probably be the new method of choice, despite the lack speed.
