Blutters

I don't know if it matters to you but they're tradable lol. The price check values them at 1k each. That conversion value is a scam!

42 plates, still not to Pincers. I might have made Superior Tetsu Helm today if my 97% scroll voyage didn't fail. Oh well, I'm only in a JaGEx rush to make the full set anyway. And at this rate, I'll have enough plates to make the legs before I'll have the final scroll for helm.

That's interesting enough, but it doesn't really seem to change much as far as the utility of Obsidian armor. I am however intrigued that there is apparently a way of reading that final bookcase. His hints weren't particularly helpful though... I kept wondering, has anyone tried reading it with solely tzhaar clothing on? So full obsidian, obsidian cape + a weapon? Perhaps if a fury would count as one as well, wear that too =d? Funny you should ask, because I did just that (although with TokHaar-Kal rather than Obsidian Cape) after reading Stu's confirmation. I even bought a Ring of Stone and tried that. Also, despite Stu's saying that the orb was not required, clicking the bookshelf will say that it might be decipherable with it. There's a thread, the QFC of which can be found in the thread that Bruno posted, detailing everything they've tried. It really is amazing that no one's found the solution in months. EDIT incase someone's interested: 20-21-221-64207208

Well if I understood that correctly, they're keeping it statted as tier 60 armor but giving it a special damage reduction to make it as good as Nex gear but only in the TzHaar area. Maybe its being type-all will make it worth using outside even with tier 60 stats though.

I sure as hell hope they'll change that degradation... I could live without damage bonuses, but degrading, even when you do something like Surge outside of combat? That's utter bullshit... PoP almost isn't even worth the few minutes it takes to set it up every day (bar enjoyment). I really wanted to use Tetsu for Slayer, regardless of the stats not being particularly needed, to have actual level 85 stats under my Vanguard. I have enough incredibly-difficult-to-obtain-yet-impractical gear for outfitscape already.

Bunyip + tacklebox seems rather brilliant, however they're just a backup after your yak runs out right? Or is there some other advantage I'm not aware of? Also, is there some reason you're using a mace and longsword rather than a set of either?

Just tried it, wasn't entirely clear on what I was doing throughout lol. Run into rooms, pick up totems, hit things, cut trees... I got 2nd place but still only got a small lamp. Like, I don't think someone switched my reward, I think I started with that. I dunno...

Melee armour: 3 parts ranged, 2 parts melee, 1 part magic def. Ranged armour: 3 parts magic, 2 parts ranged, 1 part melee def. Magic armour: 3 parts melee, 2 parts magic, 1 part ranged def. Ranged + melee armour (Vanguard): 3+2 parts ranged, 3+1 parts magic, 2+1 parts melee def. Ranged + magic arour (Trickster): 3+2 parts magic, 3+1 parts ranged, 2+1 parts melee def. Magic + melee armour (Battle-mage): 3+2 parts melee, 3+1 parts ranged, 2+1 parts magic def. Strongest two styles get the full bonus, weakest style gets 30% or so (not sure). Makes perfect sense :P. You're probably right. If I can get someone to go into Fight Pits with me I'll check and post each. I'm honestly surprised they changed it at all! EDIT Unrelated: Never seen so many sht kds routed at one of these! The demon was using both multitarget magic attacks and stuns. I'm beginning to think the easier it is to reach the demon, the more likely it will have more powerful abilities. I had Incite active and used Berserker and still managed not to die though, lol.

That's just how hybrid armour works, isn't it? Also blame your warrior ring for skewing your defences down :P But neither the Warrior Ring or the Whisper (since it's also melee class) give any Defense. I was more pointing to the fact that Vanguard was the melee set and yet gives really high Magic Defense and low melee... Unless this was their attempt to make it actually "hybrid", in which case I'm still stumped... :-|

Something seems a bit off here... :-k

They will, but that 'beating the bush' as you called it has really been more of a tactful desensitization. Give it about another year of them gradually increasing the "actual" benefits provided by SGS and SoF and the RuneScape community may be "softened up" enough to accept the direct sale of GP.

Do you need to buy all options of each building upgrade at least once to max port score? I'm a pretty long way off from even considering throwing around resources so frivolously but still... At somewhere around 6-9 jade voyages a day (maybe 8-12 when I get that 4th ship) it's probably going to take me another month to even reach Pincers -.-

Extra legit

How much speed do I need to fully reduce voyages in the Bowl?

After doing the quest rework I was just kinda left like, "That's it?" The former one was so much more fulfilling... Even the previous quest reworks were much better. The whole "Zamorak is the god of evil and all of his followers are little anti-christs" thing only gets older everytime they do it. Hell, you can't even go back into the areas they sank so much graphical resource into. What a letdown. The only amusement I got was dual-wielding claws and 1-hitting each of the skeletons in a row with alternating hands. I also killed Delrith with Darklight. I also got burnt intentionally by his special attack which surprised me with LP-1 but that's about it. All of this is not even to mention that they had all this story centered around the summoning of one weak little demon released alongside the mobs, which are small bands of powerful demons that somehow make it into our world with little problem every hour on the hour.

70 Defence and 70 of the highest combat skill, yes. What further requirements do you want, exactly? No. 140 combat = 138+2 So in balance it'd be 69 def and 69 in another stat. Also as far as reqs go they are quite high all told. Those aren't requirements for the quest. They're requirements for the reward, implying you can do the entire quest without any of those things, which is what spawned my concerns.

Sinkholes sound like they'll be fun, but a bit too much like a pettier version of what teams with randoms already are since J is actually encouraging competition and not just fostering it. Slayer Tower rework sounds interesting, if not only because of cleverly shoehorned lore. I hope the floor they're adding is the roof, although they probably would've just said that. It's too bad that they didn't explicitely state they were updating the inhabitants as well, although clearly the main focus this month is the GM++ quest. The World Wakes! Hopefully these important "choices" really will have wide-reaching effects as they say, and something a bit more meaningful than DKin napalming quiet little Edgeville and Draynor. I want to finally be able to pick a side and not be forced to help the various "good" gods and their followers. I'm a bit concerned with the requirements, or lack of, though. It's not so much that I would want their "masterpiece" of a quest to be exclusive to quest-capers, but rather that combat encounters and "core lore" might be a bit watered down, or that events might occur during the quest that explain well enough certain characters or aspects of the lore without requiring their originating quests. Basically, you can't build on existing storylines if the quester hasn't experienced them, and this quest has no actual quest requirements... As another GM quest seemingly in line with WGS and MOTM the "reward boss" will likely be more interesting to fight than typical fodder. Glad that by extension this makes it sound like they aren't planning on nerfing Glacor boots and that we'll finally have gloves to match. Final nail for Dom Tower though. Glad to hear random event characters are being more or less honored. They certainly have a place in the museum as a fairly integral part of RuneScape's history, and finding them around Gielinor adds to the charm of the game. I'd love for randoms to become actual random events, similar to the Demon Flash Mobs, but not so announced - more like something you might just stumble upon in a specific area.

Are you sure it's adventurer reroll? Doesn't crew reroll use that same icon in the rewards screen? If it was, my Crew reroll effects aren't maxed either. I also lost an adventurer reroll because it thought I had the max amount despite having none. EDIT2 Just happened: - once again I had 0 to begin with - obviously, since I had 0 yesterday when this occured and lost that one. EDIT Also I'm really far behind. I pretty much just got to Bowl. What's the recommended upgrade order?

If he was manipulating the attack order so that the KK would never use the 1-hit KO attack, does that mean the kill was really "legit"? I'm not sure where to draw the line. The video is pretty amazing regardless. I laughed rather spastically when I saw he didn't have a shield equipped or in inventory.

Oooh! Demons also now explode when killed into a gibby mess :P Also, fiery spawn animations.

Couldn't resist. I didn't get the original because it was too bright so this was pretty much perfect.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ E: Mierin, means you can no longer force certain random event rewards by stacking effects. So they fixed it, reverted it, then just now fixed it again? They broke it worse. I had a random when I checked my voyages today that would've given me an adventurer reroll but instead it said I already had the maximum amount... when I had NONE.

Fortune of the Sea also applies. 35 + 35 + 70 :) even better, I'd most definitely have enough plates to make the full set from miscellanious voyages after I can do those. I have 25 at the moment and I'm not even to Bowl yet... lol 5% left I think.

Alright then, 100/129 (assuming Jade Merchant works on these too) plates for completing the stories. I can live with that.
