First,it is not only the matter of speed.You'll make lesser money with PP(and blackjacking can collect the reward easily but you'll need to spend time to get things for teleport machine) And the speed matter,PP is far more slower than blackjacking before you can attemp the highest level of PP...even with the highest level PP,the 20k exp does matter.(thats why those fisher would rather go to shilo but not go to monkfish) Well....let me do some conclution about the graphical/emote change. -you cant watch the emote to time yourself now -you must hear the sound to pickpocket Why does everyone think you lose money doing Pyramid Plunder? I made a ton of money from getting 99, and I didn't get one sceptre. The key is to keep all of your trinkets. If you just use a dueling ring after every run to bank and then tele back, you will not only get enough trinkets to recharge your sceptre, buy also make alot of money by the time you hit 99.
