I like the idea of social slayer, the wait is for the execution of that. New quest, always good. 10 year cape, good that it's here, not for me. Gielinor Games, doesn't sound that interesting. No updates relevant to levelling in this month, it seems. I can't imagine social slayer being faster than solo slayer, since I doubt there will be extra blocks for duos.

Nothing game-changing as far as I know, the Runespan, buyable spins. Runecrafting isn't the slowest anymore, comparable to ivy in terms of effort, little faster xp.

Your math is way, way off on the bonusus. "+10% Damage, +69% Strength, +50% Attack and +25% Defense" is simply not true or even accurate. If you're maxed & overloaded, the strength increase is somewhere in the vincinity of 9 + 1.23 * 10% * 1.2. E.g. turmoil base boost, turmoil variable boost, void boost and salve boost.

Use void, deflector + acp if you have it, pray eagle eye/rigour if you weren't already and a Soul Wars cape would be nicer than alterter as well probably.

Update: only got about 60k cooking today, bored of f2p. Tomorrow is the deadline for p2p, if I don't get it then, I get to complain :P.

The dragon crossbow/Virtus wand+book totally doesn't give it away :D.

At 61 range you can use a rune crossbow to hunt green dragons. If you have the slayer level, abberant spectres have herb drop rates comparable to, but better than, chaos druids.

It's not quite 800k/hr, try 525k/hr for starters :P. The price is quite simply that of one arrow head and one headless arrow per 15 xp (about 10 gp/xp). If you don't have that much money I suggest adamant bolts instead, or stringing magic longbows.

You can just alternate attacks between the two dragons, effectively tagging both? With a 4-tick weapon you could tag up to 4 dragons theoretically without breaking the 10 second limit.

I don't think it's worth it considering you can cannon+range something more profitable such as blue dragons or train up for frosts.

You think tagging won't have those problems? There's only four each of iron/steel dragons in Kuradal's, you can easily tag two.

Peahats are awesome.

They are absolutely horrible there.

Single combat was made so that there are areas where you DON'T have to worry about kill stealing. Tag system could maybe use work, but we need a system in some areas of the game to prevent kill stealing. Why would you want to have areas where you don't have to worry about kill stealing? It's perfectly possible to not worry about kill stealing even in multicombat areas. Multi encourages people to bring their best, rather than afking with suboptimal gear and a bunyip. It's the best way to encourage people to be active in combat, better than abilities. The best system to prevent kill stealing is glacor-style multi where you can use a familiar/barrage but still only attack one target at the time. I can see systems like that working in non-cannon areas like Kuradal's and the slayer dungeon. But it's better to have most of RS multi.

The tag system is incredibly crude imo, as is the xp per kill system. It'd be much better to divide xp and drops between the people who killed a monster according to how much damage they dealt (xp per hit as current). Kill stealing is a part of the game, nothing really to be worried about.

Of course not, the rules state it's Hedgehog's turn still since I didn't accept the sig.

Fishing rocktails, slayer, frost dragons, herb farming. Of those, only the last two are really worth it. Even with competition.

Except that cannon doesn't tag. I prefer the most damage wins model too, because it rewards having a higher damage output. Too few people use prayers for slaying.

I agree with Jagex on a couple of points here :blink:. Protect prayers are bad design, removal of armour switching penalties (:thumbsup:), removal of single combat, the comment on magic being too expensive. Pretty good Q&A actually :P. Reposting this: It'd be interesting if prayer bonus was like LP boost rather than a drain rate reduction as it is now. With food and pray pots restoring a percentage of your lp/pp (hopefully) that'd work the same as a drain rate reduction, but also create some interplay with spirit shield as you need a base amount of prayer bonus to utilize the effect. Protect prayers could be changed to be more like spirit shields too, for example a 75% damage reduction with a 25% prayer drain rate.

As great as that avatar is, I'm going to invoke point 2 on that one :/. The eye is very precious to me. I had a small suggestion for prayer bonus, that is, it'd be interesting if it was like LP boost rather than a drain rate reduction as it is now. With food and pray pots restoring a percentage of your lp/pp (hopefully) that'd work the same as a drain rate reduction, but also create some interplay with spirit shield as you need a base amount of prayer bonus to utilize the effect. Protect prayers could be changed to be more like spirit shields too, for example a 75% damage reduction with a 25% prayer drain rate. Edit: 98 cooking. Yay.

F2P spanprod, even >.>. Thanks to a most generous donation by Jeremy (<3:) I can continue cooking tonight, after I finish the ~800 gold amulets for 94 crafting (don't laugh). Can I at least let in a small, girlish giggle? No. 40k! Sort of, if you afk less. Managed ~300k cooking today. Lobs >.>.

It's good at Nex and soul split heals you from titan specs, apparently. How are Morrigan's javelins faring? In the normal game they are +105/+145 (as opposed to +120/+125 for ccbow+bak bolts) making them generally better dps apart from the effects (and maybe range is an issue).

There is no need to bring up personal computers on this thread ever again. The discussion is closed. You may still discuss the merits of the 360 and PS3, but if PCs are mentioned even sideways this will be locked. Thank you.

It's powerful defensively against all attacks there except versus the ranged minion. You don't actually need the defence though.

Yeah i can see it being less useful for min-max training but a lot more useful for bossing and pvp, i mean if it's general DPS has increased significantly it may be a good weapon to just use as a normal weapon ignoring the effect (Well, staying as low as possible without taking risks) and then using the defensive bonuses to make this even better. Also with the nerfed protection and increased damage, doesn't this just make Soulsplit the best for literally everything? Yeah, main issue is that protect prayers aren't 100% anymore either :P. Apparently you can 100% SS Nex solo now.
