the numbers are different. that is true. i jumped from 43% on p2p to 309% on f2p. now here are the reasons i think they are not calculated independently. 1. before last night i had NEVER been on a f2p pvp world. never. not even once for fun. if the ep is totally separate, i should have had 0% ep when i switched to f2p. 2. when the clock ticked 30 minutes and i would have gained more ep, my percentage dropped from 309% to 100% on the f2p world. i did not kill anyone. either it's a glitch, or they decided not to allow players to have over 100%, even if it's carried over. 3. when i logged back into p2p my ep was down to 14%. it seems an unlikely coincidence that my ep dropped 2/3rds on f2p and also dropped 2/3rds on p2p. again, i did not kill anyone on p2p either.

please read my post on this page. what happened to my (and my friend's) ep occurred in the wee hours this morning. (around 3:30 am EST, date 6/19/09.)

today i tried pvp worlds for the first time. (i'm a lover, not a fighter! but i really want some brawling gloves...) i was running around a lot, just trying to figure out what i could *do* to skill and not get pulled into a fight. at one point i had the bright idea to hop to f2p, in case the ep was linked. well, i went from 43% ep on p2p to 309% on f2p. i didn't screen shot it because i didn't know it was odd. anywho, time passed and i gained some ep. it dropped to 100% on f2p and i freaked out. *^_^* i hopped back to p2p and found my ep was at 14%. :wall: i did not kill anyone. unfortunately a friend had followed me from p2p to f2p, and when she returned to p2p her ep had dropped from 87% to 19%. she did not kill anyone either. this may be a result from the latest update. but i wouldn't recommend hopping between p2p and f2p.

so sorry to tell you, but tonight i found one right above the al kharid mine. i don't know how large his wander area is, but some people said they found that guy at the mage arena training area, and some found him south of varrock. i just don't want anyone to exclude al kharid. *^_^* also, i know a cc has been posted, but i used "penguin find" tonight, and that worked very well. it's an easier cc name to remember, and it was very populated when i used it.

i wanted to re-emphasize this. ^_^ a good house design speeds up training, saves money on prayer pots, and it's an easy one-click tele if you use a tab. whenever i'm fighting *anything* in the slayer tower, i always grab a few house tele tabs before i head up. when my inventory is full i tele out, recharge prayer at my alter (if needed) and take the portal back to canifis. it takes less than a minute for me to recharge everything and bank. it's like having a prayer pot and a tele combined. \ (in my home the chapel is connected to the entry portal, and the portal *room* is connected to the chapel. the quest hall (with glory amulet) is directly left of my entry portal. everything is close and convenient.) as for guthans.. i understand your guide focuses on not using it, but it's not evil. ^_^ i trained to 85 slayer without guthans. heck, i might have even reached 86 or 87 before i bought it. but now that i have it... i love it! i use it at black demons and i can finish my entire task without needing to bank. i've tested multiple times and the money i make from black demons (and other monsters) more than covers the cost of repairing the armor. true, it takes up two inventory spaces the way i use it. but i also don't need to fill my entire inventory with food. so, 2 spaces vs 20+... i'll take the 2. ^_^ i will say this though: i did not like guthans at waterfiends. >_< someone told me it was a great way to fight them, but ew. i just did not heal fast enough to be comfortable. (i get nervous any time my health dips below 50%.) i do enjoy waterfiends now, and i can't wait to bring my bunyip there. ^_^ anchors away! oh! speaking of the bunyip.. i think you should really emphasize just how valuable the bunyip is. (even more than you already have.) when i go fight dusties i bring a super set, alch runes, 2 bunyip pouches, slayer gem, karamja gloves, and about 10 monkfish. i've done this twice now, and BOTH times i ended up eating the monkfish (without needing to be healed) just to free up some inventory space. clearly, i wasn't using guthans, and i don't own a ss. the bunyip provided all the healing that i needed. :thumbsup: lastly, i haven't tested this for myself, but someone told me that you get more ranarr drops fighting abberants when you use prayer. i have no idea if it's true or not, but my average trip (in the slayer tower) takes 3 prayer pots, and then i'm full of yummy herbs i want to use. ^_^ (ranarr, kwuarm and up.) on average i get between 7-10 ranarrs for each trip. i would love to see a comparison between magic def and magic pray with specters. of course, now that i have a slayer helm i'm looking forward to trying them with a cannon. *cackles with glee* this is a good guide, and i hope you're not discouraged by my (and others') disagreements. clearly we think this has potential, otherwise we wouldn't take time to add our comments. ^_^
