So, basically Jagex just created a coin that's worth 25 gp? :P

Thanks for bumping warrior :) Unicorn for duo method. Unicorn user is using lunar magic healing (and pot share) spells. Another player (with iron/steel titan) is keeping fiends aggressive so healer can use dharoks pretty safely. It's a quite fun to do with friend after you get everything right. Although, summoning update changed also duo method so that it's preferrable that both use fighting familiars. Haven't tried it after updates, though. Joe, maybe you just got lucky with shark drops. I don't think there is any difference.

I like listening them when doing something after update, new quests, minigames etc. Got all of them unlocked anyway. Don't really have any favorite but they don't sound too bad for my ears. Usually I prefer listening music from radio while playing, though. The "lumbridge music" makes me feel nostalgic ^^

I really wish that this was intentional change. Safespotting shouldn't really exist, especially at boss monsters like dks. And no monster really should be that stupid that it stays standing behind obstacle while it can easily go around it. You can still kill monsters without taking melee damage, it's just not as afkable. You are just too used to how it has been in runescape and can't accept that it could change. Unfortunately I think it is glitch since they didn't announce it anywhere.

I like that answer that my question got, let's see how long wait we have ahead ^^ I asked a few more things too, sadly he didn't answer them :( This was the Q&A I waited most eagerly of them all.

Trouble brewing update is really annoying me a lot :wall: :wall: I had earned all 6 sets of naval clothing and Phasmatys flag back in time long before this update.. Each set took around 8 hours to obtain, flag around 17-18 hours.. Now anyone can get them just in a few games. Which means their value now = nothing . 65+ hours of playing to waste (well, I enjoyed playing it but still I'm feeling in that way now). Thanks a lot for this, Jagex! I have just one question: WHY? Most people who played that game were playing it just to get clothes. Is this helping in making minigame more popular? No. There is no reason to play this minigame a lot anymore. Okay, you can buy cheap rums for teleporting and stuff for brewing which is ok. But everything else can be achieved far too quickly. Graphic update made me to lag more, didn't really need it but I understand it was needed for the future of the game. I just hope lagging issues will vanish. If not -> goodbye a lot of combat related content. At least until I manage to get better computer. Magic update was good. Finally ability to hit at least a bit more. Autocasting is lovely. I am hoping for new updates that can increase magic hits even further (Prayer? Set effects? Quest rewards? Magic boosting items you need to keep in inventory? New higher hitting spells into normal spellbook? New spellbook?) Shop update was good as well. Although it may require some adjusting. Or maybe it's time to go back to kill chickens for feathers like it was back in time :) Buying mass amounts of items from shops is not the only way to get everything. I guess rcing may become more profitable again too, no more infinite amounts of runes from shops. Spirit shard change is not really that dramatic as people are thinking. They were junk before, people sold them for under 20 ea and used as junk for lending godswords. Shouldn't be too hard to buy them now from other people in trade. I don't know if it will change in future, though. Of course making things harder or slower or more expensive is always annoying for those who have been planning to do something in future. And making things easier/faster/cheaper is annoying those who did it in old way. This update brought both things.

Same +4 strength bonus as bandos chestplate. If you don't need defence, use it. But you will get called noob for using tassets+torso together :P

There are a few (zammy) werewolves and goraks (prayer doesn't work on them) both inside and outside. Inside there are also some zamorak rangers. Saradomin item is not really needed in either, only near entrance if you can't take some damage in. Use items of all 3 gods on your first trips, although sara item you can drop (if it's not valuable) or switch after entering. Afterwards if you go without sara item use whatever damage you seem to take most, there are both melee, mage and rangers that can all do damage on you. I recommend using zamorak item, it will make life easier. Even most people who go to kill boss and just get 40 kc use zammy item for kc, even though it wastes one inventory space. You can kill them without too, by trapping zammy monsters behind walls and obstacles, but they can still easily do some damage on you. Aviansies inside area are generally higher levels, although there are a few between levels 70 and 80 that you should focuse on in case you go there. Aviansies outside area in main dungeon are more often crowded. Try both, it's not much trouble to take grapple with you and switch to armadyl area if main dungeon is packed with other players.

Good job on Bandos mages part ^^ Did it once myself too: (I was using yak just to hold ranging potions) You could add that you can easily use boost prayers (hawk eye) too for no cost. Just choose a lootshare world and go in to recharge your prayer at altar between every 10 minutes. You can go in safely after boss is dead, minions won't attack you. If you save some prayer points you can go in to recharge even if boss is alive, just put your range prayer on and spamclick altar until it recharges your prayer, boss doesn't really spec you that often. Oh, and you can also try your luck in getting imp champion scroll if you prefer to do so ^^ I had no luck :(

Count this as bump :) Tried out SGS method too, was wearing berserker ring (i) and neitiznot helm with veracs brassard and skirt. It was superior to using full veracs. Just make sure to use SLASH attack. I used exactly same inventory as above and was always able to get full load of loot before running out of antifire protection or prayer. Just make sure you have good connection when meleeing them.. I disconnected once when doing it. Logged back on, saw 3 red splash on me and found myself in fally before having time to put mage prayer on. Lost nothing but repair costs of veracs :/

You could go to kill chaos tunnel waterfiends with your iron titan (my guide for it) for charms, get steel titan and start doing slayer (or something else you prefer) with it for range xp. And then, you can change your approach to game a bit, forget leveling skills for a while and start completing a bit different goals. Since you have had patience for 99 slayer those shouldn't be too hard for you.. or are they? ;) Or you could start going after rare solo drops; it certainly feels like an achievement to get dragon full helm from mithril dragons, get some solo hilt drops in gwd or claws from tormented demons. Or even d chain from KQ, of course it's not worth it other than as an personal achievement. Although I don't know which of these you have done already :)

Fishing monkfish! With current prices will get 700m+ cash before getting 200m xp ^^ Okay, it's not really my main source of income but can't be ignored. Better to do something than stay at bank doing nothing. And it allows me to read forums etc. GWDing too, especially armadyl gwd but every other god too. Both solo and with teams. And I do some little merchanting by buying crashing items lowest before they start going up again. Works good enough for me. Miscellania is one way as well. And of course I like camping at (mithril, brutal green, green, blue, red, king black) dragons, spiritual mages, aquanites etc. There are several other ways too, depends on my mood.

Well, I have been a bit annoyed after each time I have lost my armadyl sets (or just part of it) at agw. First time was when i was inexperienced soloer risking far too much thinking i wouldn't die. As long as dying and losing items is mostly my own fault I try not to care, even if I lose 10m+. But if I die because of lag or disconnect etc it's a bit harder for me. Got over it each time, though. Nowadays if I solo I don't risk more than around 1,5m max. If I die and lose that I don't care much. I don't do dangerous pvp so can't really talk about it.

Good idea ^^ Add there ring and helm if you want difference to be more clear. Testing could be done in this way (just a suggestion): - Equip fury, barrows gloves, obsidian shield and abyssal whip (just an example, gloves and amulet are optional - Go to duel arena with your friend who has good defence (barrows armour, fury, dfs) and unicorn - Don't use pots - Attack your friend for 30 minutes or so - Count how many times you hit him in that time (shouldn't be too hard because you hit very rarely) - Switch your shield for rune defender, equip warrior ring or warrior ring (i) and warrior helm - Do the same again - Compare results! What do you think? wouldn't give you exact rates of how many percent of your hits were succesful but would give you some results. Is anyone bored and got nothing else to do? ^^

I'm much like you but I have to admit you have completed a bit more than me. Well done and thanks for posting this. I just post what I'm not of those: - Champions' challenge (6/10 completed) - Adze - Fire cape (yes, I'm really that nooby :D) - Barbarian notebook (Almost completed but somehow obtaining just duplicates..) - Return the Unfinished Astral Rune (hmm, what's this, something lunar?) - All circus rewards (can't really bother with this, got ringmaster acrobat and clown I think, but storing them at circus to save bankspace) - All slayer trophies (got Crawling Hand and Cockatrice, maybe you should make this to contain all taxidermy items?) Some questions: Vampire kc = 500 vyrewatch kills? (if yes then completed) Goblin burial? Something to add maybe? - All naval sets from trouble brewing (and flags? :P) - Full barbarian assault equipment and level 5 in all roles - Full void - All runecrafting robes - Agility outfit (would be similar goal as adze, right?) Edit: These kind of goals are also possible - Getting DFH drop - Getting Visage drop - Getting solo hilt drops in gwd - Getting D claw (solo) drop - Getting sigil drops in ffa - Getting D chainmail from dusties or KQ - Getting 3rd age item from clue These may not be always worth doing but it's just a challenge!

Taken from knowledge base: Something you want to add? With my usual teams I have been usually drinking just 1 dose super restore between prayer recharges (ie 10 minutes) when wearing ranging amulet instead of fury. Although I usually go with them on that time when every world has about 400-900 players. In case the world is more populated going with fury is better. Oh well, if I'm wearing fury, then I don't need that 1 dose but.. why I'm taking my supplies there in that case if I'm never using them?

Cantristenon: P2P ^^

This shouldn't really be arguing between ely and spectral but.. Difference between those 2 is not really big. Remember that almost all damage you are taking there with team is maggic damage. And extra magic defence also reduces damage you take from successful attacks, exactly like elysian does. Add there that you won't get hit as many times and we have about equal shields.

Fixed, thanks for pointing it out. Haven't used pvp armours myself so they somehow slipped out. One problem with testing is that counting all hits manually requires a lot of effort and concentration.. I just can't think easier way to do that.

There are some equipable items that offer you accuracy bonuses for meleeing (ie make you to hit more often): [hide=Various items]I am mentioning just those that give the most bonus on that item slot. Rings: Warrior's ring (i): +8 slash attack Onyx ring (i) +6 stab, slash and crush attack Helms: Warrior helm: +6 slash attack Dwarven helm: +6 crush attack Fighter hat: +5 stab, slash and crush attack Amulets: Amulet of fury: +10 stab, slash and crush attack Shields: Rune defender: +20 stab, +19 slash, +18 crush attack Capes: Fire cape: +1 stab, slash and crush attack Plates: Statius's platebody: +5 stab, +5 slash, +7 crush attack Vesta's chainbody: +5 stab, +7 slash, +7 crush attack Legs: Statius's platelegs: +3 stab, +3 slash, +5 crush attack Vesta's plateskirt: +3 stab, +5 slash, +5 crush attack[/hide] By using those items you can get following attack bonuses: +44 slash attack (+56 with pvp armour) +42 stab attack (+50 with pvp armour) +41 crush attack (+53 with pvp armour) Well, my question is: how much these accuracy bonuses really matter? Do they make you to hit much more often against high defence opponents (bosses or players in good armour)? Or is it mostly dependant on your attack level and luck? Usefulness of attack bonus is much harder to measure than usefulness of strength bonus. Everyone can easily notice how higher strength bonuses make you to hit harder. But it's much harder to see how much better you hit with high attack bonus. If anyone has ever done any testing around accuracy I would be glad to hear. I hope this topic has some discussion value..

This question just popped into my head.. How much free space you have in your bank? Do you store all useless stuff there to fill it completely? Or do you get rid of all the items you don't need all the time? Is the bank space far too limited or is there even too much space already? Questions apply to both f2p and p2p players. My own bank has always been almost full, although currently got around 40-60 free spaces after cleaning my mess a bit.

I would be glad to help but unfortunately I don't have experience of using void set there.. I personally use 2nd set with spectral shield. Only differences being that I switch onyx (i) for archer (i) and fury for ranging ammy. Well, when doing with 4 person at least. For trioing usually keeping at least another of them as initial and duoing exactly that setup. If extra defence is not needed for surviving and (and if prayer bonus is not needed, it depends a bit on how populated world) it can be replaced by better attack.. I assume we are talking about 3-5 player teams now? I just doubt a bit that unicorn alone wouldn't be enough for healing if you are wearing void (assuming brews should be only for emergencies if you got good team). Maybe with divine but not with spectral. Again, no personal experience of it, I just have that feeling. 21 difference in magic defence between 1st and 3rd options is quite significant in my opinion. This is just my opinion too but better accuracy beats higher hits at bosses. Even at KBD I have found that using full arma is better than void. Since Kree'arra has a lot higher defence than KBD I wouldn't think it being great there. Trying it out is probably best thing you can do.

I like this guide, especially meleeing brutal green dragons, was something new to me. Tried it out with pack yak and ended up with this kind of inventory: And cost of that supply: Important: I was using piety all the time. Well worth it, although didn't try without (okay, I will try later to give you info of it :P) I used tunas simply because taking damage was so random. On some trips I use them all, on other trips have to drop all. And i can't stand dropping better food than those. I wasn't getting full yak+inventory of loot all the time, just 12-14 kills per trip. It was a bit up to luck on sgs specs and on how quick kills i was getting. To make sure you get full loot just take 1 more prayer pot and change 2 dose antifire pot for 3 dose one. (feel free to use this on your guide if you want)

Does it continue attacking normally if using scroll first? Anyway, Good idea using scroll for special attack instead of normal attack since aim is to get fastest possible charms.
