Golden Katana right? Looks a bit short...

Do Chinchompas work? Does the "Ricochet" ability cause the 3x3 damage on other targets hit?

There are some monsters/bosses who change protection prayer style according to your attacks. Maybe they plan to design some more bosses in the future in similar fashion, who knows... I haven't had a chance to try them but possibly being really lazy at tormented demons? It seems like attack penalties would screw that plan up. Don't know much about that either. I've only really tried mage in the beta so far. Maybe he meant two melee weapons with different styles like crush/slash/stab... Like using a CR with CLS offhand

What are the stats for Master Wand/Mage's Book? Has there been any word of new Chaotics? A wand perhaps? Bothers me that there's no Magic "set" now...

@Level 92 Lol

As much as I've liked the graphics updates so far... :wall:

If you hide the hotbar, you can actually type like you used to. Yeah well, and how often do you get the chance not to use the hotbar, especially with an inexistant spellbook? :/ Hover your cursor over the Magic tab, click the Teleports icon. It should stay on that tab until you select another tab, meaning your teleports are on a list on your spellbook like normal, sans possible scrolling.

Just got most kills in CWars. :) It's quite lively at the moment. Tons of Pernix but it seems strongarm maging still wins! Dualcasted Ice and Blood Barrage in Bmage. Died a shetton from the rangers but it was still fun. The first game I played tonight it said I unlocked a piece of the Beta armor so that's already active at least.

Glad I can now drink OVL flasks. Can anyone take imbued rings/TokHaar-Kals/Chaotics? Are there requirements for anything lol? 2nd note... Why are Berserker Ring (I)s better in every way than Onyx Ring (I)s? Why do my Elite Void Knight Robes still have no stats?

You get a hit-negative pentalty. Take a look at the data with and without armor on it should change your %chance to hit. (Wish this was more obvious) It should probably be added that there's an equivalent at almost all tiers for each combat class. For example, all of the Barrows armor sets are equal (between pieces) in both lp boost and defense, just changing class depending on which triangle point the brother is. EDIT Try Temple dark beasts or (ice) strykewyrms? Also, skeletal wyverns might be better charms now than a number of other options. And what about Ghorrock metal dragons? Mutated jadinkos? Was going to try the temple Dark Beasts but they're a pain to get to lol. There was some kind of teleport to them but I can't seem to get it again because speaking to Arianwyn is "not available on Beta Servers". Going to Mutated Jadinkos, they might be interesting. EDIT 2 They're weak to crossbows but magic does fine. Steel Titan rapes them wholesale with scrolls, often doing more damage than I am. They never hit with their mage attacks. I've got just about every one of them in the room on me lol.

I'd just like to say that places like Waterbirth (first chamber) are quite a lot of fun now with everything being multi, and not to mention having such an increased cast speed for barrages. :) Looking for other previously single-way places that might be similar now. Also they removed all but 2 worlds. No getting away from those shit kids gambling now I guess. Good thing there's free item things in every major town.

Tactful

Got my hands on all of the Barrows sets. All melee brothers and Akrisae's weapons have the exact same stats. The LP/armor bonuses are all the same too but that probably goes without saying. Also got a Handcannon and was a little disappointed, especially if it still explodes randomly. Dmg 717 hit bonus 750 (not sure if gear matters?) Avg speed, not sure if there's anything else relevant. Zaryte is better and faster as far as 2h Ranged goes.

Pretty sure I couldn't drink my vialed OVL... Seems like it's just OVLs then. I'm not having any trouble drinking other extreme potions that I don't have the level for regardless of the container it's in. Actually I can now. Too bad I flasked all of mine except the (3) I just tried... -.- _______ Barrows is waaay harder now. I tried taking all styles because of what I read a while ago on this thread, but it didn't really help enough to justify the inventory usage. In fact I think just Ice Barraging at least all of the melees is probably the best idea, since it seems to freeze every time. This seeming overpoweredness is in direct contrast to Blood(fire) Barrage, which appears to be practically worthless now. I can do thousands of damage a cast but only heal in the double digits. I HOPE that's unintended, because there's no way of legitimizing such a terrible degree of effect. The Brothers' dramatically increased LPs are barely offset by abilities, so it's far from easier, unlike so many other things in beta. The only thing that does seem to have gotten easier is the fact that you can barrage many of the crypt creatures at a time, although that's not particularly helpful since Bloodfire Barrage heals so little and they're far from essential to kill. Does anyone have full Barrows sets to give on beta? I'd really like to test each of their effects personally but there's no way I'm reseting and I'm certainly not going to camp Barrows for tens of hours.

Pretty sure I couldn't drink my vialed OVL...

Actually, that's a very good point. Why didn't they just separate them? Or have armor boost some pseudo-LP stat... Although I suppose I could see both those avenues getting quite complicated.

The alternative is a cantankerous healing out of combat system asking to be abused. Besides, isn't there a constitution ability to heal with? Most people are suggesting (and I agree) that if you are out of combat for twenty seconds or so, they should maintain the % of life points you have. So if I am 25/50, putting on armour gives me 2500/5000, taking off puts me back at 25/50. This seems reasonable enough to me - how would someone abuse it? The only way I could see would be to get out of combat for the specified time (between boss kills, around a corner in fight caves or generally running from your enemy) then take off armor, eat a rocktail which boosts you to 990 lifepoints (100%) and put on armor giving you in your case, rocktails that heal 5000 lifepoints. Extending the timer would make it only useful at banks where it's not really a big deal. Not that I think it's a bad idea per se, I just don't think it's worth the hassle, just eat those 5 rocktails before you go bossing. Ah, that makes sense I suppose. For some reason I thought food healing was also proportional to lifepoints (healing set % of health) but looking back now I see this is not the case. An automatic healing system is needed for other places too though. Dungeoneering and Hybrid armor come to mind, since your armor in DG is equipped when you start the dungeon and Hybrid doesn't gain stats until you're actually in the minigame. It's obviously a design flaw; just saying "eat 5 rocktails" doesn't cut it.

Wouldn't even say it's an issue. JaGEx just needs to let the next wave of people onto beta worlds. The numbers online have been in the double digits since yesterday for almost all of the worlds, except the one with all the gamblers on it. Lol at least there's a bit of amusement out of this wretched thing.

Lol what's there to do after you get your fill testing out combat? People [bleep]ing about that in the beta thread too. I'm rather fond of the beta worlds for the exact fact that you can do whatever you want because money and gear is limitless. In fact I think I'll go get 99 Con with Magic Stones and screw around with my POH to my heart's content.

More beta fun, lol. Friend duped 200 Kinglies and we each opened 100. Surprisingly/strangely/coincidentally we both got the same total GP down to 5 digits 39,630,###. Also: Loooool

More beta joy!

Had to try it. As the grid is 10 squares, you'll either have to know where your actual ending square is, or stand on your beginning square, but it cuts out the rest of the guesswork! :thumbsup:

Forgot to add that Hybrid has [slightly] better stats than Torva (in minigames) but in their infinite wisdom (just as in DG with Primal Platebody) you don't start out with the boost. Instead you either have to die or heal up to it. They should really just have armor heal you when out of combat for a while, as well as when you first start a minigame. Any confirmation about whether or not Void/Hybrid still give their % bonuses? They weren't visible before so I'm really looking for a quote. Also imbued rings have changed a lot. Onyx Ring (I) had no stats earlier but Berserker Ring (I) gives crit to all three styles. Warrior/Farseer/Archer each give a slightly smaller crit than Berserker but a bit of defense. Fury gives crit to all three styles, and Arcane Stream gives crit only to Magic, a negligible bit more than Fury.

Can't find God Spells or Charge or Iban Blast or Polypore... Found this pretty funny: Poison Spiders @KBD were using arrows (looked like from Crystal Bow) and Green Dragons were using an attack like the lowest level fire one but that carried dragonbreath. I think Lesser Demons were using the same fire animation. Also I think the beta is really only fun because I can run around with any gear without any fear of real loss. When I actually have to pay for runes/ammo/food/worry about dying the net of the combat update will be negative. :mellow: I'm already bothered by them making ALL staves 2h... can no longer wield CS and FKS, and they didn't make a Chaotic wand or anything. Does anyone know if ABS even serves a function anymore/at the moment? I seem to cast far, far quicker with book/wand.

Yeah, my binds as they are now are not going to cut it. Primal Platebody gives a nice large LP boost but lots of things are hard to hit with baxe, or at least it appears that way from just a quick large. Also the adrenaline will need some tweaking in DG. It drains too quickly for the frequent lack of combat between rooms, unless you "tag" monsters while running through. CSB wasn't removed though, or perhaps only on the surface.
