Well, they drop ferocious rings. :thumbup:

I made it to 91 herblore, but now I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing. I've been switching between hunting, agilitizing, and superheating.

I've posted a suggestion in the suggestions forum. Everyone go check it out. :thumbsup: Link

Firemaking: Flaming Equipment BRIEF OVERVIEW Flaming weapons, armor, and other items. They would have some combination of increased stats and special abilities and would require a firemaking level to wield/use. An example might be a flaming sword that can deal additional damage, a fire amulet that gives a damage boost to fire spells, or a pickaxe that has a chance of smelting ores as you mine them. This should revitalize the firemaking skill, which currently has very little useful content associated with it. DETAILED DESCRIPTION The Problem Firemaking, in its current state, is a crappy skill. All you can burn are logs, and they don't do anything interesting when you burn them. The skill is broken and useless--there's nothing to do at high levels and not much to do at low levels either. It's also boring: where fishing allows you to wrestle sharks out of the water with your bare hands, summoning allows you to call formidable titans to your aid, prayer lets you gain massive combat bonuses or steal souls, and slayer has you called forth to battle the likes of dark beasts and strykewyrms, firemaking just lets you...light campfires. Yawn! So, in list form: Lack of high-level content Lack of rewards for training the skill, high-level or otherwise All-around lameness Note that the skill is fairly boring to train as well, but this is not something I'll be addressing in this suggestion. The Solution "Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight EVERYTHING with fire." --Jaya Ballard, task mage There's a reason fire magic is such a popular fantasy trope: it's really cool! I don't know how the firemaking skill ended up so mundane when FIRE itself is so exciting that I sometimes accidentally capitalize it! All you need to do to make firemaking much more awesome is remove the silly restriction that only wood can be lit on fire. My suggestion: LIGHT THINGS ON FIRE! (Disclaimer: Please don't try this at home. That would be a very, very bad idea.) Some important guiding concepts Flaming equipment should consist of ordinary items/equipment that are either physically lit on fire, specially enchanted to be on fire, or both. The new items should be player-made and should either be untradable, or be tradable, but with a firemaking requirement to use them. This ensures that the skill level is relevant. See "How it works" section for details and examples. Flaming equipment would include obvious standbys such as flaming arrows and flaming swords. See "Equipment" section for details and examples. There should also be gear that appeals to skillers, perhaps along the lines of the inferno adze. See "Other gear" section for details and examples. In general, the new items should strive to tie firemaking into most other skills and all sides of the combat triangle. A variety of items should be available throughout a wide range of levels, up to and including the high 90s. Combat-related items should be developed with an awareness of balance in PvP. Players should not feel forced to train firemaking to remain competitive in PvP. Making it awesome is more important than getting it out there quickly. Feel free to give the Graphics Team the time to go to town with lots of cool particle effects! Potential ways to name modified items: Rune longsword (f), Rune flame sword, Rune fire sword, Rune blaze sword, Rune flame longsword, Ignited rune longsword, Blazing rune longsword, etc. How it works I have a few ideas about how we could light the things on fire. 1. The item would be specially treated to hold a flame without being consumed by it. It could be dipped in a special pool of lava, for example, or there could be an NPC tutor who treats it for you. This step could easily be tied into the TzHaar area, I think, either through quests, miniquests, or just having the lava pool/tutor/whatever located there. 2. Unique fire shards obtainable through medium-low rarity drops/thieving/etc could be required and consumed in the process. They could also be store-bought like marble blocks or mined in a special area like obsidian slabs, or some combination of any of these. They may or may not be tradable. 3. Alternately, I suppose fire runes could be used if you really wanted to save time. Possibly not quite as cool. There's also no precedent for using runes in firemaking, and it might give the impression that the ability belongs in the Magic skill, which would be bad. 4. Or if an NPC is involved, we could just pay some gold (or TokKul). That's fine too, I guess. 5. Some items might be unique rather than created from existing items. I'm not really sure what to do about them. Maybe sell unlit versions in a specialty shop. EQUIPMENT For melee All metal weapons, mithril through dragon, could be lit on fire to have a chance to deal additional damage (similar to the Hailstorm Dagger in Daemonheim or the Lava Titan's special ability). Alternately, to save time, it could be limited to just swords, but I imagine players would demand the same ability for their maces and battleaxes anyway. Lighting weapons on fire should probably require a firemaking level 10-20 levels above the attack level needed to wield them. Balancing these weapons would probably require excluding high-end weapons like the Abyssal Whip and removing the fire ability during the weapon's special attack. (Flaming dragon claws spec would be pretty overpowered, I think.) For the high-level players, defenders could be lit on fire to perform similarly to the Flameburst Defender in Daemonheim, reducing the base max hit but improving accuracy and adding additional damage. This would require very high firemaking and the same level would have to be required for all defenders. (Reasoning: it wouldn't be fair to ask players to go get a new mithril defender if they already threw it away when they got their rune defender.) For ranging All non-poison arrows (except god arrows) could be lit on fire, again with level requirements appropriate to their metal. Bolts too, I guess, but not enchanted bolts. Lit arrows would deal additional damage similar to the melee weapons. The Underground Pass quest might need to be changed slightly. For magic An amulet could be lit on fire to provide a magic damage bonus. I imagine the bonus would increase when used with fire spells and decrease when used with water spells; not sure what to do about Flames of Zamorak or ice spells though. This should require a very high firemaking level. Perhaps a 20% bonus, but only for fire spells and possibly Flames of Zamorak. The firemaking armor should be a set of magic robes--armor made of fire will obviously be flimsy, and provides a giant beacon bullseye target for rangers, so it makes sense to give it to the class weak against ranged. However, the overwhelming heat would make it difficult to attack at close range, conveniently giving it an advantage against melee. So I suggest robes with stats similar to infinity, but with a set effect that deals recoil damage against melee attacks. Hell, maybe give it another damage boost for fire spells while we're at it! (That sounds so awesome, it makes me want robes for the other three elements. Hmm...) Other gear How about a jewelry item with that teleports you to volcanos? It could teleport you to 1. TzHaar City/Karamja volcano 2. That awesome erupting volcano in the northeastern wildy (Or any number of other similar Wilderness locations) 3. Near the salamanders north of the Observatory 4. Taverley Dungeon near the Chaos Dwarves 5. Brimhaven Dungeon We could have a fire hammer that smiths items more quickly because it softens the bars. A fire pickaxe could have a small chance of smelting ores as it mines. There could be a portable campfire that could be placed on the ground to cook items, then picked up later. Um...that's all I can think of right now. Any thoughts before I post to the official forums?

Runes. Combat equipment. Ranged ammo. Hatchet & pickaxe. Teleport items & jewelry.

They're good in safe PVP minigames so that you can spec multiple opponents in a row. I use them with ZGS in Castle Wars.

I started Gnome at 82 with agility pots. Probably not worth pie-ing for it, but pots are dirt cheap.

Make fruit bats, barker toads, and stranger plants. Try and save your blues until you can make better pouches with them.

You don't need to be constantly at 75. You still fail very infrequently at 73-74.

Save as a .png file.

No it isn't. You're in a cc, right? So you spend time doing other things until the team is ready. None of the extra time is wasted.

You did it wrong. Take the fairy ring to the Ancient Cavern, run south to the stairs, and you should only get hit no more than twice, once by a waterfiend and once by a barbarian spirit. If you go through the whirlpool you need an anti-dragon shield.

Yes. No, you don't. You have to boost your stats again before you check health, else everyone could use magic trees for insane experience through assist. You can't assist with trees.

Yes.

You can use 7 charges, then sell or alch them with 1 charge left. :thumbup:

I know this will be tedious, but buy 1,000 logs, and 1,000 flax, make yew longbows with it (1,000 again XP lol), and then you can either RC 1,000 nature runes, or buy them, and when you make the yew longbows, you make profit actually hi-alching them :D Uh, you listed spinning flax, fletching yew longs, stringing yew longs, and crafting nature runes. None of those give magic xp. :mellow:

I'd be willing to look at it too.

My pre-BXPW blog entry.

That's right, as Billy Joel puts it, I'll be going to extremes this weekend when I raise my herblore level so that I can make Extreme Attack and Strength potions! :thumbsup: I may or may not lie awake night after night, but I'm certainly ready to fight with some improved attack and strength boosts, and although I'm not entirely sure how much more I've got after breaking the piggy bank to pay for those ingredients, I'm pretty sure I will indeed have set myself up for a few kills. :shades: But yeah, that's pretty much the extent of my plans for BXPW. First thing tomorrow I'll be making potions until I run out of potions to make. Then I'll do the circus. After that, I don't know. I might just do some slayer. I'm closing in on my 100th task. Obviously I'll be using up my stock of charms towards the end as well. Also, I should splice some herblore training footage into that video sometime.

I'm treating my extremes as just the average between the xp of the super and the extreme version, since when I make them I'll be alternating between the two every inventory. That makes attacks 160, strengths 177.5 xp, and defences 195. From there, do them in order from highest xp to lowest.

You could bring a War Tortoise, bank all the bones, and do it in 2-3 trips. That would be profitable + good charms. *shrug*

http://runescape.wik...t_cases#Rewards Only has the old rewards, none of the new ones. What? I definitely see the new ones there. Odd, I dont. :S I see: - Mugger - River Troll - Drunken Dwarf - Evil Twin - Rick Turpentine All of those are old ones though. Dont see any new ones. Could the page be bugged for me or something? This is what I see.

Oh, please no. Getting one fire cape was bad enough. I dont want to do it again. ;_; "Do X while wearing a fire cape." "Kill Jad while wearing a Fire Cape." :P I lol'd :thumbsup:
