Not using one so :P.

Heh I cancelled my subscription, if I feel like it I'll buy separate months of membership but Jagex doesn't deserve a reliable customer. Probably ends up cheaper this way.

Go away for a week, Jagex breaks the game and mostly whatever reputation they had left. You just can't rely on them anymore, policy changes unpredictably and fundamentally, making the game very different (also worse imo, but that's another matter) in a heartbeat. Apparently legal concerns, gameplay reasons and many past promises can't make Jagex reliable and reasonable towards their players. [hide] [/hide] Note it doesn't have 'disagree with recent game update' as an option.

When tanking glacors you want ranged defence and not melee defence, since you pray protect magic. So Bandos is still better, also because it has higher magic attack, strength, prayer and lower cost to use. After all, gp isn't going to speed up your killing if it's not invested in items ;).

Commons are pretty good seeds as well, roughly 1/10 for all herb seeds.

British English is full of understatements, I like that. Nice rhetoric. So yeah I guess this is worth quitting over >.>. I go away for a week and they break the game.

Yeah :(. Any other MMORPG worth playing?

Wait what... just read the update, that's... evil.

Back :). Was a good trip, mostly museum visits. Manhattan is so American, it hurts my brain :D. The subway system is good, the musea are good, the buildings are fun to see (usually very repetetive though, and the AT&T building has no windows... that's not even legal in the Netherlands). Average diner/takeout sucks though, I don't like paper cups or plastic forks :(. It's considered a service that you can create any meal you want by combining toppings/ingredients etc. but it's also an expression of how little faith the diners have in their ability to prepare a decent dish :D. BACK OFF :blink: By Friday, pages 1 through to 100 will be unanswered questions...have a nice holiday Q! :) +1 and :cry: Thanks, and only 2.5 pages of H&A, has been worse :P. It's on par with penguins xp-wise I think, close to JoT? At least at 15k xp per medium lamp you can expect 40k+ xp/week for free. The cash reward seems to be a lot lower though. Holidays aren't for relaxing, they are for seeing new things :D. Thanks :). Q Shares on the NYSE - $5000 each. You don't get a say in the management though. Depending on the number of drops I won't quit (I don't want to quit of course, and I don't expect a huge number of drops but you never know...) but if they replace effigies with equal xp gain from SoF... that's just stupid. It's bad enough that SoF is a major slow skill xp gainer w/ no levels required. sucks. how do you know how many in a row you've done? That's got to be the longest streak ever (recorded) :o. You are special :thumbup:. To be fair, mimes is so slow and boring it's easier to fail. At least once I've missed the emote because I was reading Tif... Coming right up :thumbup:.

Pretty sure that's the ideal gear for killing Graardor, if you have trouble reaching 25 I guess you could replace sharks with rocktail and juju gumbo. Best of luck :thumbup:. 6 doses of special recover is 3 claw specs. 3 claw specs take the place of two maul hits. Idk the actual damage but you can say 3 claw specs does twice as much damage as 2 maul hits? Which means that recover flasks makes Graardor alive for two maul hits less than if you'd used your maul. So all you have to do is find the damage you take per second, on average, multiply that by 7.2 and find out if that's more or less than a shark's worth :).

Trouble with dragon crossbows is that the tiers for crossbows are messed up, rune crossbow requires 61 ranged (???), dragon would have to require something in the 70s which gets very close to chaotic. I still think Jagex ought to finish the set for completion's/old times' sake. As in an 'in other news' section update adding them to a couple of stores and ending it. They will not be useful but that's not what we want them for. It's more like the graphical update - doesn't add to combat strength but it's nice to have nonetheless.

:thumbup:

Well giving them a full set of combat abilities, e.g. all curses or all summons, would make them full adventurers. In my view the difference between true adventurer's (players) and signature heroes, TT followers etc. (NPCs) is that we, as players, have all abilities and stats available. We are, if you will, the most extreme form of non-specialization the game has to offer. I'd rather have TT followers more specialized to mark the difference. Hence Smiddi gets unicorn, divine, heal other, enhanced heal other etc. (maybe replace law staff with EE actually), but others don't get summons because they have other special powers (twin shot, +1 attack speed most notably). Yay :). I'm going on holiday now and I'm not bringing my laptop. I'll be back on Friday.

Grats :). Yay. About that chat, should be noted that I was doing well protect praying (me ranging Latin maging) and doing well, until... etc.

All weeklies but Tears and Familiarization run on the same timer, resetting Wednesday morning (00:00) GMT.

Splitting pines is up to 140k xp/hr in woodcutting, pyrelord magic log firemaking up to 575k in firemaking, Char's Training cave is 110k or 132k xp in 10 minutes, the Circus is ~38k xp in 5 minutes (latter both free).

Killing him one at the time is just as fast as banking, he respawns VERY slowly (to the point that some people hop worlds for faster kills). You could try bringing a familiar, the lair is multi-combat so it can fight for you or carry supplies.

Third-age is the best non-degradable magic gear, infinity second best. If it's for a minigame, battle-mage is best, but you can't equip that yet.

^But it's better to get the cape first. However I doubt you can do the kiln well without chaotics and without pray switching. If you're not profiting at glacors, there are a few options: you're killing them too slowly, you're not very lucky, you've overestimated the profit. Glacors are not 5m/hr profit, they are 4-5m/hr loot, so ignoring costs. And you'll only get there at 50+ kills per hour and with boot drops.

I haven't a clue, but Blutters might know. Gold keys are apparently 1/10 now. @ PVP gear: Yes it needs fixing desparately. If you could repair pvp armour to degrade like Nex armours, it'd be great, and it'd make them more common too (no more leaving the game). Of course it also increases demand, but I think it'd work out to a lower price in the end. @ Arcstream for Zachory: Zach gets Augury instead to help his accuracy, he's supposed to be sort of a noob mage who drains prayer. If he's not useful enough as I described him, double his pray draining or something :P.

Rantz' kids! Sure did forget those... I keep forgetting/postponing Tears of Guthix and assists mainly, and sandstone at times...

Finished all tasks :). It's a good task set overall imo though the TT requirements of both 500 and 594 levels is a bit double. I guess the ghast is mainly for summoning.

Full void is supposed to be expensive, maybe it should cost only 300 pest points though, have him get the rest himself. Akrisae = 3.7m for the set. Zuriel = 1.2m for the corrupt set. Statius = 10.6m for the corrupt set. Morrigan's = 1.2m for the corrupt set. Pvp items are a lot more high-end than Barrows and a lot cheaper than Virtus etc. but not overpowered at all (Statius is the same strength as Bandos + neit, just more def/atk/soak). I considered giving Dean Dharok's but Treks depend on followers surviving so that's a massive drawback, and all other sets are horrible dps. Divine is bought with 10m gp only, not that much :P. Smiddi has no other equipment at all. Zachory still casts Saradomin Strike. And yes, you have to add opponents with protect prayers who can run out of prayer. Smiddi casting share boost potion is something I considered, but if you already have the level you can bring them yourself and it's worse than overloads anyway. Law staff is for flavour, divine is her only defence though. Consider for overpoweredness: Dean has a 3 tick whip. At 99 combat. Reasonably, if you add piety, extremes, chaotic that becomes rapid 400s or 500s. So I figured double Morrigan's or miasmics isn't really all that OP.

^I did that but I rushed hard routes with turm/ovl/steel. Non-combat events are the same speed at any difficulty and my theory is that hard events give more xp than easy regardless of what it is (I levelled both hard followers to 86 on Abidor Crank lol).

Taking three times as long to altar, at a rate of 1200/hr with war tortoise, that's 10 or 30 hours. 20 hours time to save 120m gp - 6m/hr. Worth it for all but the very highest incomes.
