Erm, what? From what I gathered, you need the Armadyl Pendant. You can get that in the Temple of Ikov quest.

Ha level 130 and that's the first time I've ever seen this random, let alone got it myself. Started to think they were taken out.

jokes? how can u call them a joke if u dont have any of them 99. personally i think that every 99 is a great achievement so no 99 can be rated nooby or not, however some 99s r harder to achieve then others. And i agree that the buyable skills r still hard because 1) u need money 2) u still need to click alot. My guess is that he'd rather spend his time on something more fun/useful. Exactly. I'd rather spend the one week it takes to get 99 cook doing something more productive. I've said this before and I'll say it again, go get the ingredients needed for an orange dye, use it on a normal cape and congratulations, you did more work than it would take to get a 99 cooking cape.

:lol: Heard about it in around 6th grade..my friends and I just wanted someplace we could talk. They quit at level 30. I'm around 130 now

Cooking and Fletching are jokes.

pwnt I'm going to go with him using the 400k exp on summoning and hasn't logged yet.

Everyone being anyone with a quest cape =/

sigh. I wish no one had posted that. I need to do quests right now then. I'm pissed off. :x

400k exp! :shock: [bleep]. I have to beat this now.

Grats on Penguin slaying!

I don't care if you get barrows boots with +10 str bonus from this quest, no way in hell it's worth it.

Don't quit nub :(

The point I was trying to make is that he shouldn't expect the weapon to be better than the whip. But I was honestly surprised with your finding and using the max hit calc on Tipit, I find them a lot better I expected, but still not great..With max str bonus, on slayer task, super potted, and using Superhuman strength, the max is 38. Now at x4 the hit, that would yeild 152 exp. Add in the +10%(is it plus 10% or double the exp for melee weapons?) and that's 167 exp. With the same equipment but with a whip instead, the max is 47. That would yield 188 exp. The whip is still better. Of course if it's double the exp(I doubt it, but it could happen I suppose), then the Clay Scimitar completely destroys the whip. Edit:Ah i see now that it is double the exp.Wow.. this could revolutionize training.Great, but just for clarification, I wasn't trying to say that the Clay Scimitar is bad. I was trying to say that people shouldn't expect every weapon to be the next whip. Although this one might be. o.o While I can agree that the age of the general community does play a factor in this, that is another subject altogether. I mean why are they catering to younger players anyway? I digress. If we look at this from a business standpoint, as you seem bent on, we will need to look at the nature of MMORPGs. The longer a player plays, the more money you make off of that player. So for the instance of these low-mid level updates that allow for faster experience gains, you are shrinking the amount of time that it takes to achieve goals that a player might set for themselves, enticing them to play but not continuing to play. So this player achieves its higher level goal, gets bored and quits. Let us say that it took a year to accomplish that goal. So you have a years worth of revenue from that one player. Instead, if we continue to keep the experience levels the same, but instead of allowing you to level faster, give you an incentive to level. So the same player started playing and sees the benefit of having a high crafting level for instance. He still has his goal, it takes him longer to achieve it AND he has a reason to continue playing once he achieves it. Even if it still took that player a year to achieve that goal like the last (even with slower experience rates though that seems unlikely) the business would benefit past that point because the player would have a reason to continue playing because that achievement was meant to gain access to that high level content. Yet if they keep everything as it is right now(catering to younger players and low levels) then they still get that years worth of subscrition before they quit while they have a better chance of getting more players to pay that fee because they don't get bored as they(as a low level) get a lot of updates.

Look at the age group on WoW compared to Runescape. Most, if not all of WoW players are atleast in later grades of high school or in college. They know that working hard for a little while has it's rewards at later stages. Now look at the age group of Runescape. Most of the players are around middle school-early high school, and hell, a little bit of elementary thrown in. Younger players have no patience, they want what they want and they want it now. They won't wait two years until their level 138 for it. Jagex is being smart.

They care more about the low levels than the high levels and rightfully so. A LOT more low levels come in than high levels quit. Therefore, from a business standpoint, they should make more updates for low level to entice them. It would be the right thing, but not the smart thing.

200 Tasks and a nice D boot rate. Spent 700 points on 5k deaths and 20k minds btw. \

They'll all just dissapear when the update comes as you can only have 10 tools. :( p.s. Havn't seen you on in a while :o

This is more of an update for low-med players. As in, around level 100. The majority of players are around the medium leve, it's common business sense that they should appeal to the largest group of players.

No, it's common sense that an item with it's key feature being the exp boost it gives would yield better exp than another item at or around the same level. This being the Rune Scimitar, and I think it does great in that case.

I can't see using a slightly better rune scimitar with 10% exp boost being better experience then using a whip. Why does everyone think that any new item that comes out has to be the best? It doesn't have to be better than the whip.

Looks like some much needed updates. :thumbup:

Woot 94 attack. I'm testing out no praying black demons for a task. It's not as good as praying. But it's not as bad as everyone thinks.

p The only thing I wish there was would be more side quests. There's really not a lot.
