  1. Skill instructor items: Go for it.

     

     

     

    Again, the point is get something new that you did not have before (like in your bank) or from another player. So quest items you can get (not from your bank), free stuff that is not from another player, and stuff in shops (shop stock) are all fair game.

     

     

     

    I'm getting very close to attempting mith dragons. Just need 2 more herb levels so I can make Anti-dragon pots (with a Greenman's Ale's assistance). I'm also going to try ftp scepter when I get the chance.

  2. If we get rid of our Achievement stuff or just really anything we can get back for "free" before we start; can we use that for this challenge, providing we obtain it during the challenge?

     

     

     

    That was how I read it. You start with nothing and cannot take anything out of your bank. That is why I ditched my Explorer Ring and then went and got a new one when the timer was on. I guess anti-dragon shield is obtainable then - provided you dump the ones in your bank first.

  3. Perhaps it would be an interesting twist to include duo or trio challenges. Where a pair or trio of players start all together in Lumby with nothing and work together to do one of the more difficult challenges (DK, GWD). With the right mix of people and skills, would be interesting. Same rules would apply - no banking, no handouts - but you could trade with your teammates. This actually sounds even more appealing to me since it would be fun working with a team (and against the clock).

     

     

     

    Obviously solo would be a different category than team, and duo would be different than trio.

     

     

     

     

     

    Fooo

  4. Ok, just did a few tries at the Lesser Challenge. Very fun...first try I was just 5 minutes getting boat fare. Restarted...

     

     

     

    Second try: ran and got training sword and shield, killed goblins until I got 4 earths, sold them in sarim for $, had a really bad fight with the lesser and ended up with a time of 5:17.

     

     

     

    Third try: thought I would prep this time - destroyed my Explorer ring so I could recover it again from Ned. Started in lumby with nothing, got training sword, killed a few goblins and got 1 mail and 6 waters. Ran to Draynor, got ring from Ned, cabbage ported, alched mail (16 gp..ugh) - ran to shop and sold waters, took boat. Restored run, and ran to lessers. Attacked at about the 4 minute mark. Slow fight but prevailed. Final time: 4:51.

  5. I absolutely love this idea. It would be fun to get a group together at one time in lumby, pick a challenge and then race to the end. It would also be interesting to perhaps set groupings based on total skill level and/or combat level and categorize the results based on some reasonable breakdown.

     

     

     

    A friend and I are definitely going to have a run at this - probably barrows just for fun.

     

     

     

    And I agree, anti-dragon shield is a problem unless as part of the prep, you can dump the ones you already have. It is not a big deal except it makes it very difficult to kill any dragon above green without it. (So the mith dragon challenge becomes extremely difficult)

     

     

     

    Fooo

  6. 1. General bank

     

    Basically uncategorized stuff, starting with money, teletabs, ropes, then misc junk and tt items.

     

    Fit: poor...9 lines - this is the tab that will take the most searching.

     

     

     

    2. Armor (symbol: neitznot)

     

    Most of the wearable stuff that helps, does not include magic amulets, rings, etc.

     

    Fit: poor...6.5 lines of items (only 4 are fully visible). I just have too many barrows sets I guess.

     

     

     

    3. Weapons (symbol: rune scimi)

     

    All weapons plus cannon, bolts, arrows and also my 3 tftd books (because armor was so full already). May move shields over too.

     

    Fit: perfect...3.5 lines.

     

    (EDIT: Moved shields over...4 lines exactly...very happy)

     

     

     

    4. Magic (symbol: lava staff)

     

    All staffs, runes, then amulets (including all the *speak amulets and specials like witchwood and armadyl, etc).

     

    Fit: ok...just a bit over 5, but lots of these I never use so if it is sorted, it should be just fine.

     

     

     

    5. Summoning (symbol: shard)

     

    All shards, pouches, charms, scrolls, and pets.

     

    Fit: a bit empty actually...2.5 lines. (but what else is relevant for this tab?)

     

     

     

    6. Food/Fishing/Hunting (symbol: cooked shark)

     

    All fish, both cooked and uncooked, fishing supplies, hunting supplies, produce, etc.

     

    Fit: ok...3.25 lines. Room for a little more stuff.

     

     

     

    7. Farming/Herblore (symbol: watering pot)

     

    All farming seeds, potions, herbs and seconds, plus associated tools.

     

    Fit: Full but adequate...7.5 lines but it is still going to save tons of time.

     

     

     

    8. Raw Materials (mining, smithing, wc, const)

     

    All ores, wood, bars, molds, tools and planks.

     

    Fit: adequate...4.5 lines. May put crafting in here too...still deciding.

     

    (EDIT: did move crafting. Now it is 6 full lines but organized and should be fine)

     

     

     

    9. Access Items (things you need to go places)

     

    Most of these are really rare use items. Keys, pebble of glarial, things like that. Also includes tiaras, greegees, and incomplete sets of random event clothing and alternative money - trading sticks, tokkul, etc.

     

    Fit: full...6.5 lines but these are rarely used so its fine.

     

     

     

    The new places for things will take a bit of getting used to but...very nice update. I always had an organized bank before and still had a hard time finding things sometimes.

  7. A good start mooch, and very nice info on how to get there. May want to clip the images and just show the screen portion (smaller size = faster loads) and I also think you could talk about actually fighting aviansies...

     

     

     

    Things like:

     

    What they drop (and what to keep)

     

    How much damage they inflict

     

    Other helper critters around

     

     

     

    Nice work though.

     

     

     

    Fooo

  8. Well, I think the bottom line is that this is a very tough skill to advance in every area - cost, charms, and time. I don't mind that in a skill but I wish the upside was just a bit better. (Like pack mule familiars with a bit more space at lower levels than what they are right now or maybe having the combat level of the critters +5 or +10 above where they are now.)

    All I can say is Yousa. That's alot of clams/charms. With the abilities of the current critters, I do not see how this can pay for itself. However, maybe the 2nd batch of familliars will make things a little bit better or cost effective.

  10. Ok, the prior analysis was based on the cost of shards only because I really didn't want to go through the extras and determine cost. But it makes a huge different and is really necessary to get meaningful numbers. I was pretty encouraged about the 7/3.5 mil to get to 99 figures but they turned out to be very misleading.

    Again, I used zybez for what I could find and took wild guesses for the rest. You may not like the numbers I put for items, but the really important ones are pretty close.

     

     

     

    Least Cost/Least Charms analysis is done but I have to format it. Will post them later.

     

     

     

    King Fooo

  11. Minimal Charms: 18791 by my reckoning. However, this method will set you back $43,901,250.00. Plus it is almost entirely blues.

     

     

     

    On the plus side, it is exceptionally minotaur heavy, which is something I'm quite certain they are. A good friend in a fight, no doubt.

    The one thing I did differently was to use Spirit Terrorbirds between 52 and 66. Anyone want to check my numbers?

     

     

     

    If I get a chance in the next few hours, I will do one for minimal charms instead of minimal cost.

    *10k Summoning Experience
    
    (Cost is based on shards only and does not consider the other component)
    
    

     

     

     

    There are really two factors in training this skill. First the cost of experience. Second the availability of charms. There are fairly efficient (as compared to other critters) options money wise, but some of them make little sense as far as the charms go. As usual, the best experience in terms of cost and charms is at the highest levels (82 and 86).

     

     

     

    At the lower levels, Granite Crabs (Level 16) are half decent ($162k/463 Gold Charms) while Spirit Kalaphites (Level 25) look great ($115k/45 Blue Charms) except that Blue Charms seem pretty scarce so far. The Tortoise (Level 67) seems very cost effective ($8.5k/171 gold charms) although it would take some grinding with so little experience per pouch.

     

     

     

    Spirit Dagannoths (Level 82) and Rune Minotaurs (Level 86) are extremely efficient but you have to spend a tremendous amount of time and resources to get there.

     

     

     

    Of course, different players may have different ideas of efficiency depending on whether money or charms (or both) are a bigger bottleneck.

  14. I like that the Ice Path will have another use now (currently it is only there for 1 leg of the Desert Treasure quest). Will be interesting to see how this plays out - glad I have the Trollheim teleport.

     

     

     

    It will be wierd to see hords of people up there though...since it is so remote right now. That made it one of the most unique places in runescape...it was very erie walking around up there for the quest.

  15. Just tried BA this morning and picked defender for some odd reason. I like the role, but how on earth do you build the barricades?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The instructions say use a hammer on the entrance spot...never worked for me. Tried hammer on spot. Tried hammer on logs while standing on the spot. Nothing ever happened.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Would be nice to barricade up the 3 westmost entrances and then just focus on the east trap.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Any hints for the uneducated?
