  1. Honestly, none. RuneScape (like any MMO) is a game I have to play myself, I'm not interested in seeing some guy click on rocks or spam 213452134 on his ability bar.

     

    I actually prefer watching LP's to playing games myself in most cases, but RuneScape is an exception.

     

    I've watched some quest guide videos in the past, though, so there's that.

  2. I'm definitely in favor of its removal. I was devastated when I saw it was included in this snapshot of 2007, it's a symbol of the events that led to the removal of the Wilderness and everything thereafter (also it's annoying for Runecrafting I guess, and I hate seeing people hanging out in its neutral zones).

  3. The websites I personally use every semester:

    • BigWords (catch-all for all other textbook websites, tells you the cheapest and gives you a coupon if available; also, especially useful for selling your textbooks).
    • Bookbyte (probably 50% of my purchases are either from this website or Amazon)
    • Amazon (of course)
    • Half.com (very rarely; surprisingly their prices aren't the greatest usually)

     

    (I used referral links as they usually give you a discount/special stuff.)

  4. Pine tree (christmas tree) trimmer. It was surprisingly fun (talking to the other workers, listening to music, zen-like stuff as I thought to myself) despite its repetitiveness and the soreness (basically I just swung a machete for four hours), and really good pay ($10 per hour). That experience has really made me eager for my next job.

  5. If I want to train prayer as well, are ice giants still the best?

    Probably (maybe someone with more experience can say more definitely). Air-blasting Hill Giants was supposedly pretty good (as they're weak to it and drop big bones) as well.

     

    Just throwing it out there, but a law or nature staff is going to be more accurate than either a fire staff or bat wand + book. Also, Caitlin's staff saves air runes (which are more expensive than fire runes) and is more accurate than a fire staff.

     

    For the record Gravite staff = 550 accuracy, Law/nature staff = 530, bat wand = 450, bat book = 50, Caitlin's Staff = 50, Fire staff = 10.

     

    I realise that it doesn't really matter, since high alching is still better xp, but thought it would be something useful to add.

    Ok so... what exactly should I change it to? Remove the things I have listed currently and put just Law/Nature Staff? Thanks :)

  6. eoc combat made this annoying :c.

    Yeah :/ The whole reason I did combat was so I could AFK and take breaks from skilling, now that's gone (I don't play anymore, though, so I guess all worked out).

     

    I imagine it's interesting for PVP, but I don't understand forcing it on PVM. I do like that they finally made different weapons/armours more useful, but at the cost of enjoyable combat.

  7. Is there a reason why ranged users use batwing boots, yet melee users use carapace boots? I'd think it should be the other way around.

     

     

    Using the combat triangle:

    • Melee armour is strong against ranged attacks, it's weak against mage attacks.
    • Ranged armour is strong against magic attacks, it's weak against melee attacks.
    • Magic armour is strong against melee attacks (that's some strong cloth, haha), it's weak against ranged attacks.

    -----

     

    For Melee:

    • Deadly red spiders use ranged, so melee armour is best. (There aren't melee boots so ranged boots seem like the best alternative, mage boots would be a bad idea as they're weak to ranged.)

    -----

     

    For Ranged:

    • Lesser Demons and Warped Bats use magic, so ranged armour is best.
    • Ghosts use melee, so mage armour is best.

    You were correct with your concern with ranged, I had some things mixed up, I've updated that (thanks!).

    For magic:

    • Ice Warriors use melee, so mage armour is best.

  8. Ok, thank you all for helping. I'm reading about RuneSpan right now, and it all seems foreign to me.

     

    1) Go through the portal at the top of Wizards' Tower to enter RuneSpan.

     

    2) Start by clicking on the Floating Essence and getting 25 essence:

    3) Click on the various Esslings (the creatures) and siphon them to get more essence. This map shows where to go for different Esslings:

    4) Click on various Nodes (the unmoving elemental things) and siphon them to get better XP (siphon from the highest ones you can), siphoning nodes is your main objective:

    5) Repeat #3 - #4 until level 33 Runecrafting.

     

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    6) At level 33 Runecrafting, use the Vine ladder to middle level (see map, on island #51). Most people simply stay on that island you come up from (see map, island #1), not bothering to venture to other islands as it tends to have pretty good variety with Nodes.

     

     

    7) Siphon from the Body Esshounds for essence (I like to get at least 2k essence before moving on to Nodes):

    8) Siphon from the various Nodes that appear (siphon from the highest ones you can):

    9) Repeat #7 - #8 ad infinitum to your desired level.

  9. > [CLOSED]

     

    ?

     

    Unfortunately the player who was running the Skiller List has decided to go P2P, and therefore as a P2Per cannot really (and probably is no longer even interested in) running this list. I wish him the best of luck in his new rs adventures, though it's a shame this never got fully off the ground.

     

    Hopefully this thread will remain open, though, as I'm sure it would be a very valuable database for whomever decides to maintain the Skiller List next.

    Well that fell apart quickly....

  10. I totally forgot about Pliigi/SDCentral until now. Is Stellar Dawn still going to be a thing? (I see their website is still up with "coming soon").

     

    EDIT: Wow, their Jagex forum is really interesting, a lot of stuff I didn't know about. What's with all of the domain purchases O_o e.g. they purchased 121212.com most likely for the AoS release, yet never actually used it... and now the domain is pretty worthless.

  11. Good to see someone finally took the initiative to start this back up :)

    (former rank 3 skiller, totally going to boast about that given its relevance haha)

     

    EDIT: Man, I have no idea who any of these new skillers are (or if they're actually new or just old skillers with name changes).
