To kill an infidel is not sin, it is the path to heaven.

Damn thought I found something cool :L

Looks like some missions have a hidden chime reward. Saw this on the ancient bone mission as well.

I still don't understand why it was posted at all.

Except selling your armor at the start of a crash doesn't kill you, it saves you money. If no one sold their armor due to fear there wouldn't be a crash and it wouldn't have dropped. Come on man, I can't believe I keep having to explain this. It's not like the item prices just crashed for no reason. And if I did sell my armor at the beginning of the crash I would be contributing in starting said crash. You're arguing for the ideal situation and everyone else is arguing for the realistic one. Both make sense but only one is relevant.

New trait on my captain I haven't seen posted. Tough as Nails : Chance to avoid death

I'm guessing presents sans purple are stupidly common enough to make it possible for everyone to get the "new rewards" and the purple is stupidly rare to create an artificially high price for the hat?

3/4 of those new pet options could just be incorporated into the already present familiar options couldn't they?

Right clicked summon button and to my great dismay I glimpsed this: As if we didn't have enough options there already. Thank you microtransactions.

I wish Nex sets could at least take their place as level 80 armor with dignity instead of Jagex adding some ridiculous effect to artificially lengthen it's life. Remember penance armor's "set effect" when they removed the unique stats?

Pics of katana please :D Or is it just the same one from the membership cards?

This is simply not true. But it is. And the rest of the post you are just agreeing with him. It is not true that the items in question "had no reason to crash"(this was Sly's assertion), I explained as to why in my previous post. I also disagree with his assertion that the panic sellers are the sole/original cause of items crashing(panic selling contributes, but usually is rooted in some update), and I also disagree that panic selling is irrational(he sort-of called panic sellers "idiots"). The only reason they crashed was EOC, and the Obby armor BTS didn't make it go down as much to make it a reason for the crash. Panic sellers are the reason why it crashed so hard, along with people quitting/selling the gold. And these same panic sellers are the ones who panic bought right after the news post today. So yes, they are idiots. They cause everyone to lose money because everyone else was selling. It's the same principle behind a bank run. No reason to sell, because the armor is still the best in the game. The armor never needed to go down like some people were saying. It didn't go down because there are cheaper alternatives, because as an owner of this armor I wouldn't ever want to switch to a cheaper alternative. It went down so fast so quickly because of panic selling and people selling because they were quitting and selling the gold. What's the difference between panic sellers and people selling to buy back cheaper later? Nothing, besides one being motivated to sell by emotion and one is motivated to sell by experience. Even if literally 0 players panic sold the price would still go down because people expect it to. It is not stupidity but simply people trying to make informed decisions.

Already available on the subscription page. Oddly enough you can still buy the regular 3 and 6 month packages which are exactly the same price.

I'll guess that in the end we'll be able to make a set maybe once every week or two for 2.5-5m per week assuming there are places to use port armor like Kalphite King.

Please Jagex just give him back his anti-dragon shield so he stops complaining.

You can subscribe with these packages with a credit card. Unless you're talking about the fact that credit card subscribers were screwed out on the items previously in which case ignore this. Also, I assumed the katana is the same as the original membership card promotion, but that's the ornate katana, this one is the decorative katana.

$6.32 per month? Tempting especially with that katana.

Can you get them off the Steal-your-Fortune? If not then no.

Read the chatbox.

In response to Nex sets getting a set effect: [qfc]296-297-472-64148990[/qfc]

Have you tried flesh crawlers in other areas of SoS? As I recall most of the bots tend to kill them near the entrance, but should be relatively bot free farther away. I've never actually killed them before though so this may not be the case.

I was also thinking about getting one*, unfortunately they are hideous and wouldn't have one follow me even if it was a quest reward. Would have been a nice gesture if they actually updated my 10 baby dragons I've had for probably 2 years now since they said in that developer blog that they were going to update Kbd and baby dragons soon. You don't remember it? Exactly, it was that long ago.

This is false. Whilst panic selling does exacerbate the crashing problem, it is not the initial cause of the problem. If an item becomes less useful, or superseded by a better item, the demand for it will fall, as will the prices. Also, as an individual, one has little if any control over the behavior of other participants in the market, hence, an intelligent individual will take that into account. If I have reason to believe others are going to panic sell, then it might be better for me to join in, since I alone don't control enough market share to countervail their panic selling. It is perfectly rational in that situation to go with the tide, dump your armour, then buy it a little while later, saving yourself some money in the process. ---------------- SInce PoP armours are only marginally better than Nex, I wonder if the set effects will make Nex armours superior to PoP? As far as I know, the PoP armours don't have any effects, yet. I can't see Jagex giving a heads up about nex armor effects and then having them actually be relevant, it's just not their style.
