You can attract carrion and igneous at the same time if you want bush seeds and herb seeds but not flower seeds.

Do some herb farming. Great for money. Herbs are rising again now that the bots are gone. Also, daily-type stuff is pretty efficient profit.

Note that the blisterwood polearm doesn't have an Accurate stance, so you can only train attack on vyres if you use Controlled.

Well a ninja greegree is a type of monkey greegree. Yeah, just make another one. I suggest making several, in case you die later. You can use a medium ninja greegree or a small one, but the small one is better because it lets you use the fairy ring from Fairy Tale 3. And while you're at it, make some gorilla greegrees too, since you need 'em for monkey guard thieving.

When you exchange points in the Jadinko Lair, you get seeds based on what you've planted on the surface above. If you haven't planted anything, you'll only get the tradable flower seeds, which are completely worthless. (You can buy as many as you want from the shop and they cost like 3 gp.) In order to get the good seeds from the altar, plant a kalferberry bush and a green vine blossom and build a boneyard to attract carrion jadinkos, then give Papa Mambo a stripy vine (obtained by hunting camouflaged jadinkos) to ward off common jadinkos for 15 minutes. Then before the 15 minutes runs out, claim seeds as your favor rewards at the altar, and you'll get 100% herb seeds.

I got the impression they were mostly referring to range and mage, where the armour is the primary source of offensive bonuses.

About 5 hrs, and that's with beginners on world 6 that have no idea how to BA. Whether or not bcp is a better option now depends on how much you value your time. The whole point of the higher strength bonus is so that you gain xp faster. Giving up 5 hrs of training for it defeats the purpose. It would take hundreds of hours of combat before the +4 str makes up for that initial lost time. Better to use a proselyte top + offensive prayer. It wouldn't be so bad except that it doesn't even develop your character--there's nothing useful or unique about the fighter torso. It's not like MA, where the imbued rings are at least the best items for their slot. The torso's just a watered-down substitute for the Bandos Chestplate, which you can already buy without having to muck around in BA. And with Bandos, you can sell it back if you change your mind--if you ever want to upgrade a fighter torso, you can't get those 5 hrs back.

Torva is prohibitively expensive to initially obtain, and it has an additional upkeep cost. And fighter torso just isn't worth getting at all, unless you're some kind of zerker pure.

Watch your xp counter. Your prayer should be on at the exact moment when you gain xp for the attack. (For offensive prayers, of course--with protection prayers you obviously have to sync it to the enemy's attack.)

It works whether you have it worn or in your inventory.

Port Khazard has 2 tin rocks on the north side of town and 2 copper rocks in the south. They're both pretty close to a bank deposit box. There's also the Varrock east mine, the Falador west mine, the Rimmington mine (with vexillum or house teleport), and the Piscatoris mine.

This is basically exactly what I already talked about, so...

Well, if you plan on doing any more dungeoneering before you max, you should get 90 attack for promethium.

Yeah, one time I posted about herb farming on a Help thread there and I immediately got like a dozen thumbs-downs and a page of angry posts telling me how dumb I was, didn't I know herb farming is only like 70k gp/hr, lol it takes like 2 hrs to grow, what a [wagon]. And I'm like, :mellow: .

Do Dags have the rare drop table? Yes, but you aren't going to hit the rare drop table on 100% of kills.

Drawing your attention to the thread title: "Public Service Announcement" Seeker is well aware that there are a lot of people who don't pick up bones. The purpose of this thread is, primarily, to inform them about what they're really giving up. (Secondarily, it's to persuade them with data to change their behavior, but informing comes first.) Once they know, they can make educated decisions about what they want to do. If they then decide to continue leaving the bones on the ground, well, then we're all sincerely happy for them--at least now, they aren't making that decision from a position of ignorance. Maybe you already know about the opportunity costs involved. Maybe you've done the calculations on your own ages ago, and you're already well aware of what you're giving up. Maybe you've made a conscious decision about your priorities and you've concluded that caring about that profit would make the game less fun for you. If that's true, well...this isn't something you need to hear. You can safely ignore it because it's not directed at you. Just like if you've acknowledged and accepted the health risks and side effects that come with smoking cigarettes, you don't need to re-read the Surgeon General's Warning on every pack. But there are plenty of people out there who don't already know this stuff, and this is for them. Or maybe you're the type of player who's like, "Who cares? I don't give a damn about what's more efficient. I'll do what I want because that's what I want to do." And when a fellow slayer comes up to you and says "Hey, how come you're not picking up the bones and hides?" you don't say "Because it's faster xp." You say "Because I don't feel like picking them up. You got a problem with that, buddy?" And that's fine too. It means you're self-aware. You've chosen the path of rational ignorance and made a heuristic decision based on what you think is more fun. There's nothing wrong with that. And if that's the type of player you are, then don't get hung up on it. This is free information. You can take it or leave it, and we won't judge you either way.

You don't remember that huge game-breaking bug where wearing RoW gave the Corporeal Beast a 100% sigil drop rate? That was a pretty big deal at the time. I'm quite certain sigils aren't on the rare drop wheel. :shades: In any case, they confirmed in the update FAQ for that week that yes, it works on unique rare drops now. The quote: Granted, they didn't confirm DKs specifically, but with the information they gave, it's very easy to test--just turn off the Game Chat filter and check whether your ring shines brightly on every kill. If it does, then you know it works on the unique drops.

http://services.runescape.com/m=news/ring-of-wealth%2C-shanties%2C-trolls-and-dungeoneering Your explanation is 7 months out of date. Back in March, they changed the ring of wealth's mechanics to include drops like whips and hilts and, yes, DK unique drops. Seeker's information is accurate.

Then you have very poor timing, since you're posting this right in the middle of a big ol' controversy about a negative change to the free game. :mellow:

Okay so you're missing that this is an opportunity cost thing. If you don't know what opportunity cost is there's the Wikipedia page you can look at, but basically, it's the cost of doing something as measured by what you'd be doing if you weren't doing it. It's a central concept in economics, but it's also hugely useful for understanding how to maximize the efficiency of grinding in RuneScape. HappySeeker is trolling you cuz you don't know about this and you're trolling back and so let's end the cycle of trolling and explain it better, shall we? In our basic scenario, you do your slayer task and ignore the drops completely, just killing the dragons and doing the task because slayer xp, [bleep] yeah! It takes you X minutes to kill enough dragons for a full inventory's worth of bones (which you leave on the floor), and you earn X minutes' worth of slayer xp. In our banky scenario, after X minutes, you make a one-minute trip to the bank (one minute being the arbitrary estimated banking time, whatever) after the same number of kills. The stuff you're banking is worth like 189k cuz it's 42 slots at 4.5k each. In this scenario, you spend X+1 minutes to earn X minutes' worth of slayer xp and 189k gp. Now let's do a side-by-side comparison of these two scenarios. The difference? In Scenario 2, everything is the same, except you spend one extra minute in order to earn 189k gp. In other words, by giving up one minute, you can earn 189k. So now you should be asking yourself, which is more valuable, one minute or 189k gp? 189k gp for only a minute's worth of work is equivalent to 11,340k gp/hr. So if you think that 11.34m gp/hr sounds pretty good (given an arbitrary 1 minute of added time per bank run--obviously it would be better if you were faster or worse if you were slower), then you should choose Scenario 2 instead of Scenario 1.

See, the thing is, if I care about the health and the future of the game as a whole, I have to care a lot about what happens to F2P, because the free game is crucial to RuneScape's well-being. Every new subscribing member starts in F2P. If the F2P experience is bad, RuneScape will fail to attract new players, and its playerbase will wither and die over time. But if the F2P experience is top-notch, RuneScape will attract new players to the free game who can then go on to spend money on it. Since we're in analogy-town already, your argument is a lot like saying "Why should you care about how bad the school system is? You don't have any kids."

This is far more likely, yes. Her. :wink: Eek's attack styles are punch/kick/block, but the combat interface only says "Unarmed" when you're not wielding anything in the weapon slot. When you're holding her, it says "Eek" instead. And I imagine it's the same with any other weapon that has the unarmed attack styles.

Yes.

If you want to develop your character, I recommend doing quests. Do all the quests you can do at your levels, then level up more until you can do the rest of the quests.
