Usually there aren't any symbols unless it's intentional. The symbols are Alt codes, ones used in the Table of contents, bullet points, ect.

I've had this problem lots. I wrote my guide on a Japanese laptop, accidently put a Japanese character which I deleted, but it gave me the same error. I put a symbol I didn't know wasn't allowed, and it dissapeared. Basically, no foreign language or strange symbols. Take all wierd symbols out. If it still occurs, put it in notepad, then copy and paste it.

Which is the better method? Death altar or through Mourners HQ? I heard that the Death altar method is great, but I never tried it... can anybody explain it? First question wasn't answered yet, but is it really true that a GS is better than a Whip?

Junk is worth alot. Wow, that was oxymoronic...

No. Are you using Gu'tanath/70 agility? If not, I'd suggest trying to Range Greens in CT. I've seen a pure do it, but I"m not sure if theres enough good spawns...

Not enough to be worth it.

Why not train Magic through non combat, then gain charms via Melee/range? Bursting is a good choice, as I don't see why pray is that big of a factor.

Destroy the point of a Pure, no? Also, pures dont' really matter anymore, as the Pk system isn't really great. I'm level 130, and I fight people in their 80's IIRC.

You make everything sound so smart :lol: Magic has its applications. Unlike melee and ranged, Magic is tactical. You cannot bring a bunch of ice barrages and hope for the best (whereas you can grab your dds and go). You have to think things through. For example, in the days of Abyssal Pkers, why would anyone fear a melee or ranger? They can't do anything by the time you run away. What we feared most were the Lunar Mages with Ice Barrage and TeleBlock, and Modern Mages right under them. That being said, I agree with Kent up there. But it's not just with another combat style. It's with anything. Magic is tactical, after all. What's the point of all those special effects of spells? Put them to use. Looking at that Ranging over hte Wildy Ditch topic, think how much more effective a mage would've been. Ice, jump ditch, Teleblock, maybe throw in some weakening spells, Smoke barrage to poison, then mage away. And all this time the meleer can do nothing except eat. (Of course a smart pker would pull out range gear, but that's besides the point. If one side brought an equipment change, would the mager then not simply pull out the dds? Range back? Point being the Mager has the upper hand since he can run and teleport.) What I think is the biggest pitfall for Magic is that robes provide no melee defense whatsoever. Spitbark was a step in the right direction, but it didn't go far. Smart Pkers would bring at least a Black D' hide top. Also, that is AKA farcasting, which is frowned upon. This does matter for pking, because it will cause him to Pray, run, and all other sorts of mess you don't want, because neither of you will be able to get a kill.

Now that's how you win Runescape. ;)

Range most of your tasks...

Sure, it can happen, but the odds are more around 1/5. (Or I would believe, but there many be another factor then just simple math.) Also, leechers usually can't kill all 3 minions.

Your tank must be really weak, because leechers die as soon as Graar targets them, unless your team is stupid.

His guide is great, but his inventory pictures aren't. He expects everybody to have an SGS, and even if you don't, its still not great. Just bring more Prayer potions than he has in his sample inv.

I personally don't care about leeches, because I'm too busy laughing at their ignorance.

Melee is in most cases better than Range. Range does have the Dark bow, though.

I was hoping you'll say that. To start, the reason why Karils has such low defense is because of its Legs. If you take this out, Karils would have more melee defense. This already makes it better, but to add to that, if you wear Verac's skirt you lose a lot of Magic offense, which makes Melee your best option. This, of course, makes Karils better.

Ehh? Ahrim slash defence > karils slash defence. If you melee, you have the advantage. Veracs skirt + Karils top will make Melee more effective than Mage for the most part, making them Melee.

Hmm... after re-reading it, why isn't defense a requirement? You do know it is extremely important here... And in your weapons section, you make it sound as if Godsword is the best option if you have a GS.

For simplicities sake, you will be making Swamps from 80-88. 45 shards (Times 23) Shards per Swamp, 650 per secondary. 2400k xp needed, so that's 6400 pouches needed. 1685 each pouch, so in total it's 10.7m. Rough estimations, of course.

You don't believe in cannons? Here's some proof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5azx7vLc4WE They exist. Of course, you can believe they aren't morally correct... but then I would have to call you an idiot. Scarabites are a must cannon. Edit: If you don't get it, just cannon.

The cost of the Melee armor is not significant, because you can always resell it. Also, while it is true that you can hit 50's with Magic, it really isn't practical. First, because that max is extremely slow due to it taking the time equal to two casts. Second, it can't be used as a KO weapon due to you wasting a whole turn just for the hit to activate. Also, you have much lower defense, as you can't wear actual armor while casting. If they wear Dragonhide armor, they win. You argue that they can switch equipment... so can the one not maging, no? Magic is strong, but not comparable to Melee and Range. Also, it costs a ton more. It should only be used in conjunction with another combat style, which will synergize Magic.

Too laggy to try. ;) And about the Gamecube argument, the one with a Wii controller is destined to lose.
