So far, I've gotten spec restores at 27.405 gp/exp. I refuse to collect Pheonix Feathers... The 4k I did get nearly killed me. X_X So... Any ideas?

We've all heard about GWD stories. Here is mine: I have never been to Arma. A friend asked me to go, so I thought, "Meh. Might as well learn. It'll give me a break from making potions." He showed me the gear, which was wealfare, but I didn't mind. I went to the GE and bought what I was missing. 300 Diamond Bolts, a Verac Skirt, Brews and Restores... We then went to the dungeon and started getting KC. Our third dropped, but we went anyway. After 2 kills, we got crashed. We hopped a few times and every world was full. We hit a mass eventually, so I just said, "Screw it. This isn't hard. I bet I can get a solo kill or 2 before I have to leave." I left and went World 6, one of the best Ping-rated servers for me. I started to kill Kree, safe-ing like a Mo-Fo. I finished it off and checked the drop. Needless to say, a lot of things ran through my mind, such as, "Heal up completely and don't tele like an idiot. Pick it up first. NO, YOU MORON! Drop the vial first!" and "Omgomgomgomgomg." So ya. I think I might go to Arma again. I now have the money to get at least 95 Herblore. Or 91 Prayer. Or the rest of the gear that I sold so I could get the supplies for Extreme Sets. Idk at this point lol.

its blocked from my counter (america) due to WMG copyright some [cabbage] =[ WMG needs to go cry in a corner somewhere [bleep]ing [bleep]s Quick! Find a country that it works in! Japan is blocked, too. You missed my grats message. Un-grats. Who has a party for a utterly meaningless level What is meaningless to you isn't meaningless for everyone. And, by the looks of it, several people found it meaningful. Stop trolling. OT for the picture: Grats on a level I'll never have! =D

There are several types of Internet relationship on RS. Here are the ones that I am most familiar with. First is the aforementioned random player asking to "be my Bf/Gf?" Half the time, if you go along with it, they will ask who you are the next day. If they do remember who you are, all you have to do is say, "it will not go further then talking" and you can watch as they log out, never to be heard of again OR they try to convince you otherwise. --It ends up being worthless and slightly unhealthy in my eyes Second is when you talk to someone via skilling or whatever and get to know them and you each add each other. Then you start talking, bringing real life subject into the equation. After a while you both get to know each other and trust is established. It could end up in numbers exchanged or even a real life meeting planned. --It could go either way. Some people have fallen in love and married based on an Internet relationship. It could last, or it might fail. Online relationships seem to be just as strong as RL ones. As someone mentioned earlier, it takes time. And then it could be a trap set up by a Pedo. There are a lot of ways to disable a trap, but extreme caution must be taken, obviously. Third is an RP relationship. It is like the second, but with both people "RP-ing" the entire time. This form may or may not lead to a serious relationship. Both people are usually just in it for the fun that RPing provides. It has the ability to lead into the second form when both people are out of character. --It is more of a wild card then anything. It may or may not lead into the second form. It comes with the added risk of the RP getting out of control. Everyone involved should be prepared to handle a situation if one comes to pass. The only one that doesn't have the ability to be healthy is the first. The second and third do. As mentioned by someone else in the thread, it is human nature to seek companionship. The way it is done makes all the difference and safety and caution should be taken at all times. The nature of the relationship should be established very early on, but then most of you that have been in relationships, online or offline, already know this. Before anyone talks about "what and what isn't healthy," I need to simply say this: times are changing and methods are changing. Most traditionalists/conformists will say that anything online is unhealthy. Sometimes it is, but other times, as has been proven by some of the major online dating sites and countless stories, it is perfectly healthy and could lead to someone finding someone else perfect for them, and vice-versa. Also, anyone reading this should keep in mind that everyone's situations are different. Sometimes it's just a lack of compatible people. Sometimes the values of the available people don't fit yours. Everyone's situations are different. You should also keep in mind that, for some people, an online relationship is a way to build the confidence needed for an offline one. The above is my opinion based on my findings and what I know from my own experience. Online relationships seem to still be Taboo, but far less so then it used to be. There is a lot in this post to disagree with, so if you have to post a response, please eliminate the parts of the post that you are not referring to in your quote. Please and thank you. For the curious, I fit into the third. We both established that it will not lead into something deeper. I am also aware that he is a guy. That is no issue for me, offline or online. =p

I have never been on a team where this is an issue so I can't speak on it, but I will say that I think the death system is fine as is. Giving a "grace" death would make most of the bosses far easier and giving a bonus for not dying is exactly like giving someone a reward for getting a math problem right.

I remember it being just a window without toolbars, etc. This "no Java required" is new to me. 1800+ Recent Updates on the RSOF are talking about it, so I guess it must be nice and shiny new.

Grats! If you don't mind me asking, what made you choose the Longsword?

Well, Disney owns Marvel, so maybe we'll have Magneto replace Nomad as a boss.

The Knowledge Base says the shield doesn't have any requirements to wield it. Also: Can we sell back the items that aren't used in the CW game, such as said shield?

No need to prove it, perhaps I'm no longer as good at this game as I was (yes - I die against simple c6 bosses even when praying (atk bonus)). I'll try the team rushing, thanks for the info. I apologize for my first post in this massive chain. Combine a bad session of TvC online (6 disconnects in a row from the other person), the clue I got on the trip that got me 99 Range being one that, on the 6th part of the clue, I cannot do due to 2 quests that need to be done (and being the only clue in the game I cannot do), and my pet peeve of people presenting opinion as fact when the opinion is misrepresented, shows obvious inexperience, or a combo of the 2, and you get... well that. Dungeoneering is agonizingly slow to start off with. After you have some decent arrows, a Spear, and a Platebody bound, and after you start teaming with people and adding people who will dungeoneer with you regularly, the fun just happens. I remember when both me and a team member forgot about the little rule of "you cannot run around spinning blades by clicking past them" and we both died from full health when it comboed us. And then there is Mr. Rammy and his glitched up AI. tl;dr: It starts slow, boring, and unfun. Then it takes a jump to lulz-worthy fun and decent speed. All you need to do is establish a presence in Dungeoneering and you'll be set.

That is why you team up with people who are rushing. More exp/hr and, if you ask or people notice, you will be made a Prome Spear. Bind it and you're set until level 50. If you need a team, go to the forums. If no one is there doing your floors, make the team. Also, C1 is worse exp/hr solo then C6. I can go and prove it right now if need be by doing 2 floors. Thus far, all I see is you being inefficient. You shouldn't make armor or pouches solo as food drops alone will be enough. You shouldn't die unless you make a mistake, or do something wrong.

He's less then level 30, so the only floors he has access to are the lower floors. There is no reason for him to do them at C1 and C2. Reguardless, floors 1 - 27, small, 5:3 is about 48k exp/hr on average. It's better to do it with a team and fill up 2 - 4 floor gaps and C1 - C3 then do all of them at C1 - C3 since you almost reach the Exp/hr for one of the Larger dungeons, per hour, in the process. The time saved by just solo C1ing all of the lower floors doesn't make for the exp gotten with the first Large dungeon you do. C1 Solo: 3 Mins average. 81 Mins to 27, 8k exp total First dungeon: 1 hour, up to 56k exp 141 Mins for 64k exp, or 27.2k exp hour 5:3 Small: 7 Mins average, 189 Mins, ~5.5k exp floor average, 148.5k exp total 47.1k exp/hr with a large dungeon still in the line up C1 Solo becomes better if you take longer then ~138 minutes to find a team. 5:3 Small is a better exp/hr rate and better exp/reset, along with being the better choice UNLESS you cannot get a team in a little over 2 hours, which should be no problem. If you can't find a team, make one and add everyone that goes with you. Message them if you need people and making teams becomes easy. I'd present data for 5:5 small, but I have never done it, except on a few small occations and I don't feel I'm familiar enough with a general round to comment on it. “For the lulz” Disclaimer:

I agree with this, but at least Dungeoneering has an element of "fun" to it which still makes it do-able after you get a reward, even if it is just for some lulz with your friends. Are you mad? Since when is grinding fun? If I wanted a mind numbing grind, I'd go play Lineage2. The main thing is, in L2 the grind starts to pay off later on. In dungeoneering, you just grind wasting your time. The only thing you actually get is total levels. Nothing else. And there's NO fun involved. P.S. If you are wondering, I was doing C6 solo most of the time, however I understood that this way I will be doomed to stay < 30 dungeoneering forever. Then I just done C1, quit C2, next floor C1, quit C2, next floor C1, etc and I'm already lvl 29. This skill is awful tbh... I shall start by saying that you should not state things like they are fact. If you had not done that, along with the entire second part of your post, the following would not have happened: 1st off, you do not need to grind it. You CAN grind it, but then you're doing it wrong. Fun isn't hard to find in this. 2nd, you just said "mind numbing grind" and "I'd go play *something here*" with the context of Dungeoneering as the main example. YOU ARE PLAYING F***ING RUNESCAPE. The caps are necessary to convey my message to you. Dungeoneering is far less of a grind then 80% of the entire game. 3rd: You get rewards along with those total levels. The Arcane Stream Necklace is the best thing Mage's have gotten since the Staff of Light. Possibly the best thing they have ever gotten. There is also the Chaotic Melee weapons that will be staples for Slayer and Boss Hunting in the next few months. Now, a special highlight goes to the bolded, and it is this: You are a Moron and you are doing it wrong. or did the 50% and 45% exp deductions not tip you off? ALWAYS play C6. If you need a floor lower then 28, find a team on the forums and rush the floors. 5:5 teams are not hard to find. You can even make one yourself. If you need 28 or higher, find or make a 5:5 Large team. The exp really speeds up when you hit the Abandoned 2 section. Just power through and will hit it easily. You'll soon hit 69 and start making 50k exp/hr, which is only slightly lower then the exp you can get at 99 fishing when you do it at Shilo. And yes, the size 7 bolded sentence calling him a moron is needed. I want the message to get through nice and clear. Welcome to my "Oh. My. GOD!" button.

how many whips that net you? 24 - 26. Stopped keaping track after a while. =p Why you got slayer helm when you camping? how come not void? I could if I had access to a Uni, but I don't. Void doesn't have the defense I need to camp with a Bunyip. Also, the Full slayer helm gives a +3 to range attack and has decent defense, so it is the mid-point of a Robin and Barrows. =p

94 - 99 done at Abby Demons. No Chins thrown. Smile

No. Today is Tuesday and this is a fan site.

I agree with this, but at least Dungeoneering has an element of "fun" to it which still makes it do-able after you get a reward, even if it is just for some lulz with your friends.

I think people finally figured out that it takes 24+ hours of pure dungeoneering AFTER level 69 to get to the 2 Mil exp mark. The average player can't stand to get it when they find out that they have to be active to get the 50k exp/hr average. And that is only with 5:5 Large dungeons or 5:3 small rush dungeons. Oh, and you need to know how to do the skill, what is weak to what, and what the bosses do. Combine time with non-afk-ability, non-solo, and actual effort and skill needed and you will find it to be a deal breaker for a good amount of people. The average user isn't ready for an end-game-type activity, so that factors in as well. I also think that people would have gotten a few things along the way, so that 24+ AFTER 69 will likely be 34+ to get a chaotic item. The reason I say "AFTER 69" is because the exp rates are far slower before. It's no wonder this is happening. EDIT: Completely forgot to meantion the time it takes to complete a Dungeon. Some people don't have an hour (or more, if you are in a team of morons) to spend.

Because some people think Runescape is a job and treat anything even slightly inefficient as idiocy.

Can't believe this thread is still open...

Nah. It's so going to be Farming.

1st off: It is fun and it has variety. Most people hit the point of "wtf am I doing?!" at around your level. At least I did. =p 2nd: The loot.... Loot.

Couldn't agree more with this.

Bandos is that great for my player archtype. I don't see why you bring the 2k Pure sets or overloads into this, as it has nothing to do with anything. Don't respond again. It's like arguing with a Mormon or Christian on the topic of religion. You can't see past your little box.
