Mine was 170-320 two nights ago, and a few fellow players from my city had similar pings that night. I knew I stayed away from pvp for good reason.

Just FYI, Dell Monti's pineapples did not reset at 0:00 GMT, so it is probably on a 24-hour timer like Bert the sandman.

I really hope the amount of arrows and shards sold in shops are errors like raw bird meat. Runes also has rather low stock, but I'm not complaining since it's cheaper to buy from GE anyway. What puzzles me is having a default stock of 0 for some items like watermelon seeds. Since it won't get restocked if(not when) other players sell them to the stall, why don't they just remove them from the stall? The worst part of the update is changing the Karamja diary reward, I'm getting worse prices for dumping items to the shop than before and the replacement is 40 pineapples per day? Doesn't look like a fair trade to me. The magic update is good, I won't accidentally tele away in combat any more. :thumbup:

I'll definitely not change mine, it's awesome enough as it is.

I'm not sure why they put Ket-Zek and The Inadequacy on the list while leaving out KQ, Chaos Elemental and KBD. These three are certainly more well-known and more powerful. Batch 2 anyone?

I forgot to bring food to fight Bork once.(I usually take 5 monkfish) Luckily the mage hit no higher than 13 on me and I managed to beat the big ork with 30+ hp.

132k takes 5-6 weeks' worth of penguin points at your level.(Assuming you've done Cold War) It's great for expensive/time consuming skills. But I doubt you would enjoy runecrafting at level 70+ if you hate it so much now. Why care about your level in a skill that you aren't likely to use?

No, it will be the Ninja skill. Because Eastern lands are going to be Asian-themed and ninja > pirate.

Combat: slayer dart is the only one I use Non-combat: hi alch or house tele, I use both everyday

Hellhounds: I don't like doing clues and that's pretty much all they drop Steel dragons: The irons keep getting in the way and there're too few steels Warped terrorbird: Simply too annoying to kill Kalphite: You either use a cannon and lose a lot of money, or you don't use a cannon and waste a lot of time

Jagex will not create any more tradable discontinued items. They'll probably get automatically fixed/deleted like axe handles did. If they aren't fixed, they'll become untradable.

I don't think camping at monsters for xp is a smart idea. There are so many items that you gather through combat (herbs, charms etc) that you'll get a lot of combat xp without going for it anyway. This way you'll end up richer than those who camp at monsters without drops, so you can use better items or speed up the slower skills.

I don't enjoy self-imposed time limits on skill/item goals, but I do find it fun to race with my friends on quests. Whenever I win, I go through the "quest cape in your face" little ritual of mine.

Thankfully I was aware of the bug once I got into the w60 cc, so I was extra cautious not to click more than once on each penguin. To all who got unbanned: Did you get no extra penguin points at all, or did you get maybe 1-2 extra points due to accident? It'd suck if one misclick could get you perm banned.

Skills. It is what makes RS different from other MMORPGs.

Don't try to be cheap, bring good food, maybe a bones to peaches tabs or two. I was surprised by their hit rate the first time I had this task, but never had any problem when I'm well prepared.

The diary tasks are ok, but there are still somethig that bugs me: 1. I don't know why I have to run around the mysterious statue a few times before it registers. 2. They could have worded it clearer that we have to kill the rangers with a normal, wooden longbow. 3. There's no way to distinghuish between the headbands of different levels, I don't want to look like a newb who can only complete the easy tasks. 4. The enhanced Excalibur can't be hung on my POH wall, hope they fix it soon. 5. This is the least rewarding diary, and it happens that this is the least combat-oriented diary. Really shows how much Jagex cares about skills.

I'm quite surprised that it takes so long before they crash. Paying 10k for a quill is insane even without the xp nerf. (someone has estimated a crimson charm costs about 4k iirc) The crash occuring on the same day of new game content coming out is no coincidence, the novelty just runs out.

This may not be the most efficient, but I don't see it as stupid. Plus some people can't be bothered to get a rune defender and the DFS still provides a handy str bonus. Now let me tell you what is stupid: I was slaying waterfiends with 2 more people near the entrance of the ancient cave. A level 90 something came with d long and melee armor. He tried to kill a few waterfiends and, of course, wasn't doing well. He asked us how to defend against the fiends' attacks and what weapons to use, and we gave him a few suggestions before he had to escape. A few minutes later he returned without changing one single piece of equipment :wall: .

Natural selection? First, I don't believe Social Darwinism is right. Second, those with bad passwords aren't eliminated from the gamewhen they're "hacked", they just make more accounts with similarly bad passwords and continue playing. Bottom line is that this update hurts no one, and if you don't need this kind of security measure to help you, more power to you.

Most slayer tasks ARE faster when you melee them, even if you have a range level comparable to your melee ones. Considering the fact that most players have better melee stats than ranged, it makes the ranged skill seem bad for slayer training. However, with more balanced stats like mine (93 att 92 str 93 def and 92 ranged), I find some slayer tasks (most notably dragons) are faster, or just as fast but cost less with ranged.

Clues may not be as good as flax picking in terms of income, but I have yet to meet a single player who thinks picking flax is more fun than doing clues. They aren't worth going out of your way to do, but it is certainly a better use of time than dancing with random people at the GE.

F2p melee doesn't need any new armor. I don't remember ever dying in f2p after I was about level 80. I think it is already too hard to die in full rune except in multi-combat pvp and maybe against revenants (which you have no real reason to fight in f2p). If you want to find armor that are more fancy looking, get a set of god/trimmed armor.

This quest was released less than 24 hours ago, do you really think anyone who's not from Jagex knows it? The xp from the daily task doesn't look that attractive now that they have nerfed the summoning xp of the pouch. I'm more interested in the lava guardians' drops, they seem to have a rather nice charm drop rate.

I'm sure that Arhein and Bert restock exactly every 24 hours. If you try talk to them even 1 minute earlier, they will say the stuff isn't available yet. In the case of Arhein you'll have to buy out his entire stock before this timer starts counting. One little trick to check whether Zaff will sell you battlestaff is to wear the Lumbridge Explorer's rings. The ring recharges at the same time that Zaff restocks. So when you see the message telling you the Explorer's ring has recharged, Zaff will have battlestaff available too.
