Id say its borderline racial. Alot of how do i put this... People of color are named Ali. Mohhamad is the most used name in the world, funny there isn't an NPC named that in RS.

What I see: TBH. AWESOME if possible I will siggy.

Pretty much this. Although I am like the ammy because it is a shark tooth. All in all the supreme awesome Mudkipz should have better common drops.

wut da hek iz that al bout? RS iz n no need of speeling lessinz.

Do it. DO IT! If I could I'd travel to Cambridge. It's literally HOURS away but I would ;( You think? I might send in an email then. I mean, it would be quite nice to actually find out what working there would be like. EDIT: Just for confirmation, do you guys think this would be a good idea? Absolutely. You get inside information, a look inside the JAGeX office building and free membership. Additionally, we want a full report :P Bring one of those pen cameras and take plenty of pics =). Modern ninjas are so sneaky.

This is the original text from the game manual, and yet the majority of the monsters are not strange or weird, nor do they really defy ordinary combat methods. The following slayer monsters are what I think really feels like monsters that the poorly informed and equipped players would suffer if they attempt to kill: Banshee, Rock slug, Desert lizard, Cockatrice, Mogre, Harpie bug swarm, Wall beast, Killerwatt, Molanisk, Basilisk, Fever spider, Bloodveld, Turoth, Warped terrorbird, Warped tortoise, Mutated zygomite, Cave horror, Aberrant spectre, Dust devil, Kurask, Skeletal wyvern, Gargoyle. Dragons are the exception to the list in that they do not have a slayer requirement, but are nevertheless dangerous without anti-dragon shield. The rest of the possible task you can get are more or less filler monsters to make sure you get something new to kill every few levels, or normal creatures that are HP punchbags. I have a few personal encounters that I think is what makes Slayer truely shine: 1. I was slaying Bloodvelds in the Slayer Tower, and a relatively low leveled player rushed into the room filled with aberrant spectres without nosepegs or slayer helm. I saw him came back asking people for advice and saying how he almost died in there because he didn't know what was needed. This tells you not every task is a punchbag. :twisted: 2. Someone slaying bloodvelds next to me was in full rune, and eating food at a very high rate. Until I told him that they use magic-based melee attacks. 3. I tried to use Guthans at Dust Devils, even though it wasn't my first time slaying them. It just slipped of my mind, and I lost 5million back then when it meant a lot to me. Construction in RuneScape's term means building things related to your POH. Fletching means making bows and arrows, once again in Runescape's term. Crafting means the various leather, gems, glasswork, weaving. They are all SECONDARY SKILLS, that doesn't mean they are the same, so don't try putting words in my mouth when that wasn't what I mean. Runecraft is also the gathering, or production of runes, from which magic becomes the secondary skill that utilizes the runes. If they named the skill BOUNTY, of course it's suitable for what we're doing. But it isn't, and neither is description from the game manual. And I know it's just ANOTHER skill, which is why I spent some time getting a few decent levels in it, for my highscore and whatsnot. But I still don't think it's a well thought out skill, for which i provided the reason, to the person who asked for it. [/hide] If you can use the "In Runescape's terms," line on what I said, then I can do the very same thing with Slayer. Slayer is what it is "In Runescape's terms." See? It's not a valid argument when I can just say the same thing back and it have literally the same amount of weight as your argument pertaining to the exact same concept. Runescape is absolutely no different from the above skills in the sense that it is a secondary combat skill. You don't have to train runecrafting to train magic. You don't have to train fletching or crafting to train ranged. It follows the same principles as Slayer does to Melee, Magic and Ranged. You don't have to train it in order to train combat, but the perks it gives towards combat are why people go to it. I think you're being way off track here. I know that Slayer is a part combat, part character development skill. I know the benefits of training it with combat, along with the charms and the wonderful drop the monsters gave me. My point is, it's poorly thought out, because it doesn't fulfil what it says in the Knowledge Base 100% of the time. I know what to do when I see the Fletching skill, even though the training seems boring. Simple, you fletch bows and arrows, and get some Fletching EXP. But Slayer? It says killing strange beasts, but majority of the monster task are normal monsters that anyone can fight, without any special equipment or technique. Moreover, have you ever hunted a chinchompa, but not get the Hunter EXP, because "Oh the Hunting Expert did not give it as a task"? The flaws I see in the skill itself are: 1. I cannot get EXP, even if I slay a slayer-specific monster, if it's not my task. 2. Even if it's a bounty slayer system like you said, I'm assigned mostly simple meatbags, that could've all been little blue polygon squares, and you won't notice the difference besides the HP. If anything, dragons should have a slayer level attached to each of the different types, as compared to jellies, abyssal demons, and every other meat bag that you know as 'slayer beast'. 3. The so called unique and valuable drops aren't even that unique. I have these list of metal boots, but I don't want them to be a product of smithing, so what can I do? I know! Put them under the drop list of some slayer-specific monsters. That way the supply would be limited, and it doesn't matter if I don't actually explain why spiritual mages are considered slayer beast, as long as I whack a high slayer level on them, so that not everyone can hunt dragon boots. I'm pointing out the fundamental problems of the skill when it was first introduced, despite enjoying the benefits of gaining free levels, charms, drops and combat stats along the way. It's like how Hunter Skill was introduced half heartedly with limited training monsters, and poor concept. Oh yeah, it still is. For example, why do previous "hunting" features like Chompy Hunting not give out Hunter EXP? Archery is part of of a hunter's weapon, so why isn't there such a feature, and how would it differ from Ranged if introduced? Of course, the majority of the players aren't going to care so much, as long as there's something new to gain fast levels in, and make a nice pile of cash at the same time. And they probably tell me to GTFO for thinking too in-depth too, because this game's all about simple way of thinking, mindless clicking and EXP grinding right? Ahem... 1. That is the whole point of the slayer skill. It would get very boring if the only monsters you could kill for slayer xp were slayer specific monsters. In turn it would also make training slayer far to easy, especially for the people that camp at specific monsters(like bloodvelds, abby demons, basilisks, etc.). 2. I will have to admit that some of the slayer monsters are meatbags but the rest of them aren't. For instance I would like to see someone try to kill a wallbeast w/o a slayer helm/[bleep]y helm or fighting dark beasts, they hit a lot harder and from what I hear are harder to hurt than gargoyles. 3. From my knowledge slayer levels, for the character, show the know-how of how to kill certain monsters the experience shows how more knowledgeable you are in killing special monsters. And to point out your example of Spiritual Mages as slayer monsters may I remind you that they are basically floating robes that are in the possession of magic from the god wars, you would need to know where to hit them and how to hit them. Also slayer monsters must have slayer specific drops because if they didn't then slayer wouldn't be that super great of a skill. For instance you rarely see people getting very excited for Spiritual Warriors or Archers but you often see people excited for Abby Demons, Dark Beasts, Jellies, and Spiritual Mages.

Most who know me, know i am one of those rare female players. I've played since 01, and have never played the fact that i am female to my advantage. i treat all the same. There are quite a few tipit memeber who was/are female. but i am not going to tell tales on them- i'll let them confess :mrgreen: Hmm your name doesn't seem familiar tho- are you a irc neeb?? :? There are tipit members who were female?!?!??!?!?!?!? Makes me wonder who is on my internet!

You can leave those in your dusty bank, my friend. Next update is going to be the Aquanite instead of a new quest. RAWR GIVE ME AQUANITE REWARD FOR QUEST!!!

It's kinda obvious for that actually. I mean, the quest itself is called "Cold War". As in the one between the USSR and USA. (Or West) The penguin one is called the KGP not KGB just to unconfuse you.

:shock: :o So true. But don't forget all adult men are 14 year old boys and anyone who calls themselves FBI agents are mafia.

Edit: dang the hide tags got f'd in my post. Slayer doesn't affect combat level...

Darn the announcement thing makes sense.... would be better off as a skill =).

I knew it ! Although it probably won't be attack styles,at least we can order familiars to attack. :) I don't find the new icon interesting i find the ''Lobo espiritual'' Unless is from the Brazil lenguanje i can only think of Spanish Finally our combat familiars can be somewhat useful as long as jagex makes the attacks stronger then =) if not =( KILL!!!! btw lobo pwns wolf. But the german wolf pwns lobo.

It's a mudkip right? Edit- When it comes out I will spam there No, I haet Mudkipz!!!

You forgot the Dragonkin. Dragonkin are REAL in RS and guaranteed in it. +1

Definitely Pack 1 animation update, they only blogged about it recently and the example image they showed looked pretty polished already, along with the leaked weapon icons its a pretty safe bet this one. As for how the fremmies are involved... we shall have to wait and see. Yes!!! Fremmy Quest. One of my favorite quest lines. And my SS animation looks a bit odd atm, it always has it teleports from \ to / in less that .5 seconds....

As long as they don't advertise to little kids... Yeah, get some gorey bitten off heads in the ad, that should scare them away. :thumbup: From the people who brought you: Saw I-IV Hostel Child's Play Friday The 13th and Powerpuff Girls Presents: Runescape: The Falador Massacre. Rated R for Gore, Alcohol use, Nudity, Violence, Language, and the use of Muppets.

Why slayer? 'Cause my attention span can be quite short at times so changing up the monster every couple hundred kills is good.

Sorry but this is not noob. It is full of win. Edit: What is the qfc for that thread?

*hangs head in shame* Runescape: Escape the Grind

I have: 1384 Gold Charms 505 Green Charms 534 Crimson Charms 210 Blue Charms My xp in Summoning is: 265928 Level: 59 Could anyone tell me what combination of pouches will give the most xp?

I would love a Japanese and Korean server personally. Jagex would probably rather put in a few Mandarin Chinese servers than Japanese or Korean ones just because of the large amount of people that live in China.

Kree'arra would win with his super range attack killing the rest of the champions in five hits. It makes total sense that the god that doesn't care anymore would win...

We know a bit about their personalities though Saradomin- A strict god. If your not with me your against me unless I want you with me then you are my ally. YOU ARE MINE!!! Zamorak- An overprotective god that wants to protect his beloved species from being killed by other species so he kills the other species. STAY AWAY FROM MY BABIES! Armadyl- The wussy of the gods. After his favorite species dies then he runs of crying to wherever gods go to cry. MY PRECIOUS AVIANSIES ARE GONE NOW :cry: :cry: :cry: =( Bandos- The annoying little brother of the gods. Wants war and only war and is fussy whenever there isn't war. HE WANTS HIS WAR NOW!!! Guthix- The laziest god of all. (Unofficial guthix quote "Shut up, up there with your warring..." five minutes later..."SHUT UP ALREADY!!!"...five minutes later...Guthix arrives and fires his super war ending laser pew pew..."AHH nice and quiet"...and now he sleeps. Tumeken- The jump starter god. He makes a couple kids, give some power to some creatures, then bam! watches from afar to see what happens. Zaros- (Dunno much about him so I'll go off of what I got) A VERY kind soul that rescues poor species from oppressive rulers (the mahjarat from ichlarin) also was hated by his fellow gods because he was far too kind and powerful so they "killed" him, even his precious mahjarat abandoned him. Poor guy. If I missed any major gods tell me and I will put them up.

And it will drop that [cabbage] armor that Jagex was talking about making (4/1).
