EDITTED: Meleeing QBD?
How would QBD be with the aforementioned ASC MH DLDart OH? About how many QBD loots do you have to do to get those kinds of amounts? I know it wasn't directed at me but the main reason I switched to Ranged was to loot losslessly. ;) V

EDITTED: Meleeing QBD?
Decided just to repurpose this thread, since I seem to have 2 others on the front page here.. I've been QBD'ing about an hour at a time lately. I thought I was doing pretty well, consistently getting two kills per OVL dose towards the end of my run tonight. However, the RSWiki speaks of 20 kills per hour. I believe I only got 16 tonight, and that was on task. This is my typical loadout: [set=head:10844,body:10842,legs:10843,gloves:12518,boots:12517,neck:12783,cape:10670,ring:8735,weapon:13373,shield:13375] This is what I use on-task: [set=head:14832,body:10842,legs:10843,gloves:7441,boots:12517,neck:12783,cape:10670,ring:8735,weapon:13373,shield:13375] My strategy is dead simple: spam the hell out of Steel of Legends, swig Summoning Potions when necessary, use Revolution and Assault > Destroy whenever possible. I of course have OVL and Turmoil going constantly. I ignore just about every special attack the QBD does other than super hot breath, the 4x spirit, and timestop spirit in stage 4. I'm usually through her first 3 stages extremely quickly, the 4th however tends to slow me down a bit. What can I even do to improve this setup? Is there something crucial I'm missing? EDIT: Forgot I have a ton of Dreadnips. I'll try using those too next time. EDIT2: Tried Dreadnips, they seemed to help a little. Still only managed 17 kills today's hour.

Future Update Discussions
Despite my clear Zamorakian leanings, I still find it incredibly unfair that Bandos died so easily, and yet Zaros appears to be protected by a wall of quest centrality and... purple. What gives? Is JaGEx, the developers and writers behind each of these deities simply showing a clear favoritism towards one god despite seemingly trying to promote each of them as equal choices in the past? That it seems like Zaros will never be "on the chopping block" so to speak just screams partiality. At least allow us to decide his fate as a community for the greater game by aggregating player choices made during the quest after a certain amount of time has passed. I don't see it as a particularly novel notion to make such large decisions through content that isn't obviously and purely repetitious and that requires quite a bit of prior knowledge and investment.

7-Jan-2014 - Player-Owned Ports - The Next Journey
I use scrimshaws everywhere: Vampyrism for hardhitting bosses, Str/Cruelty/Elements if Dpsing, Gemfinding scrimshaw for mining. I don't use the XP scrimshaws though With overpriced do you mean OP for their price I tend to use Cruelty and Elements even in minigames like Castle Wars. There's a certain feeling to knowing you're bringing your entire tryhard A-game that scrimshaws play into! Also Treeshaking, when I'm doing Elder daily tasks. Even if valued at the price of the best alternative (1.5m as said earlier in this thread?) I'll break even or profit before the thing disintegrates. Usually see a few Kingly's over its course. :)

Lol, hearing that you just jettison them at Shield, I have to think I could have had another ship part if I hadn't bought that worthless Wisp, which I hardly send on any voyages anyway. I'd thought it was going to be useful at like, level 8-10, even in the final area.

Mage vs Ranged for Slayer
Did the outfit pic sway your answer? :P When would I not use Mighty FSH and OVL/Curses??

Mage vs Ranged for Slayer
I'm thinking of going for 120 Slayer as a long-term goal. Dual Ascenions cost about as Virtus Wand + Seismic Singularity; What would be the better option to use primarily? Like, if I would rather use just one style fits all, except for when it really matters. There is always the OutfitScaping angle too Also, if T90 2H melee were available, would it be better than either of the above options for this purpose? A friend said 2H level 90 weapons were being associated with a new boss coming in a few months, but I'm still curious.

Maul skin?
Cursed Reaver offers a scythe override for maul.

Future Update Discussions
I don't think it's a far-flung prediction to say it'll be, for most people, cosmetic, since we already have rather easy to obtain Warpriest armor that scales to level 75 and has effects. I'm not really a huge Pokemon fan but I am a Floyd fan and I really liked his shirt... :) Seeing that Dragonkin trapped deep within Daemonheim gives me all kinds of chills and hope that Dungeoneering hasn't been forgotten. However, it also makes me fear possible Sliskean shoe-horning in the middle of my favorite lore concentration. Of course, considering that ritual ring is stolen from Zamorakian settings, I don't know what to think, except that perhaps everything in that location is recycled.

Ha... I just sent out Light Under Sea for the first time, after skipping it 9 times.

High Exp/h Ranged training.
DW darts seem fine, and magic notepapers are a great alternative to simply leaving the bones or bonecrushing. I was safespotting melee-position ones, but I'm sure that dramatically decreases XP/HR, and it also made Steel Titan difficult to use at times.

My Primal 2H is keepsaked and uses the stance the weapon under it is using - 2H sword, Swag Bag, Swagger Stick, or in this case Auspicious Katana. You would expect the Auspicious Katana, if keepsaked itself, to use the weapon's stance under it as well. However, I was at a bank with someone who had katana stance with all four Godswords as he went through them, and he wasn't going back into the Customization Interface between each. Not to mention, you can't keepsake more than one weapon. I don't know what his trick was.

So I bought like 7 bonds the other night trying to get this damn thing, no luck obviously.. Then I did my last available daily task just now: the horrible Mithril Ceremonial Swords. Needless to say, my labor felt validated. :) I feel the need to add, today was the last day for these to be more common than normal.

Resource voyages. You know, Terracotta. I'm under the assumption that certain pairs of adventurers have requirements that are easier or harder to meet, despite the fact they should be relatively "equal"?

What adventurers should I have my totems set to attract in the Loop if I only care for easier resource voyages?

Because the Zo is Hybrid while the others are All. It's a very special Hybrid zough. Reefwalker/Leviathan are unclassed... Still, I meant to illustrate that the "best-in-slot" cape/ring are worthless as-are.

EDIT2: VS Combat 200: 44-59-24 / 42-56-25 / 45-58-27 41-55-22 / 40-53-23 / 41-54-25 EDIT Holy [bleep] I'm stupid I cropped out the block %s... That's what I get for being distracted Not taking more pictures. Basically the % on SUPERIOR Reefwalker Cape/Leviathan Ring are marginally better than switching out Skillcape or Onyx Ring (I), and Tokkul-Zo, with its shitty 2 armor is better than the others. Dafuq

Does my old method of killing steel dragons still work?
They are Magic-weak, so any Magic attacks will be quite effective against them. However, using their specific elemental weakness will increase your accuracy slightly. As well as this, you simply want to use a spell requiring a Magic level equal to or higher than that of your weapon. I assume you can afford an Abyssal Wand, so you would need to use a spell requiring at least level 75.

The equipment may have changed slightly, but I feel like Steel Dragons are easier to kill post-EOC.

Does my old method of killing steel dragons still work?
As Sy said, they're weak to water now, so it would be best to use Water Surge (Wave may be just as good, not sure if damage scales to level of weapon still). When using abilities (which is highly advisable for the vast majority of situations and especially so in light of Revolution) you won't use runes. For Water Surge you'll only need Air and Water Runes. You'll still need some, as Revolution sometimes fires off an auto-attack and you might accidentally use one yourself if going manual. As your Herblore level is too low to use Super Antifires, you should use Antifire Potions (or Flasks, which give 36 as opposed to 24 total minutes of protection per inventory slot, if you intend to camp a very long time). It would be wise to buy a Dragonfire Shield (Magic) as a normal Antifire Shield is melee-class and may give a penalty to accuracy. You will also be needing a wand of some sort, as staves are almost all two-handed now. Your considerable options are: Wand of Treachery (Level 70) - Cheap-as, but mediocre. Abyssal Wand (Level 75) - Affordable, the tiering system makes it more superior to the Wand of Treachery than a 5-level difference might seem. Virtus Wand (Level 80) - Somewhat expensive, but the same is true as the above in that the tiering system makes it a very effective weapon. Degrades, but degradation costs are minor. Seismic Wand (Level 90) - Batshit crazy expensive. Godlike power with a heavy degradation cost. IF you can somehow afford this, use Earth Surge for slightly more damage despite their weakness.

Dual Wield Magic Effects?
See, this is where I'm getting slightly confused. A few weeks ago - maybe more like a month now - I had Virtus Wand and Book and was going through the Fight Caves, and I know for SURE that using the "Chain" ability was freezing multiple enemies at once with Ice Barrage. Like, it had to be Chain - it would freeze monsters outside of the 3x3, discounting the chance I might have been mistaken with an autoattack.
-
Dual Wield Magic Effects?
I know for sure you get the mainhand effect with abilities, are you saying if you're DWing two spells you only get mainhand effect when using abilities and not off-hand? khandajatt, off-hand for Seismic Wand is Seismic Singularity.
