Nope. More efficient to use Onyx (i) for corp. I don't know about defensive uses of +6 mage def or the accuracy on bgs, but berserker (i) comes with higher damage output for the spear.

Ohi.

1) The ball of light only damages you if you attack the dragon. 2) Cannon attacks do not trigger the recoil. 3) It appears for about 5-10 seconds, not 15. I don't see this reducing bots much at all, after all all you have to do is stop attacking every now and then, and you'll waste some cannonballs...

That's just having it on crush mode.

That seems unlikely to me, as I'm very able to hit over 400 with melee and magic and never got hit over 400. They are very much slowing down the killrate though.

Basically, for frost dragons: when the blue light appears, stop attacking. It will hit 300+ if you mage too. It appears for about 5 seconds, every kill, unless you kill it quickly enough I suppose. The magic attacks are also very accurate, hitting easily on 112 mage def (Ahrim's etc.). I'm not sure if you can even use a cannon now, because you can't stop it attacking when you have to.

I guess on the upside, the event isn't totally bad.

Frost dragons can no longer be meleed, I've been hit over 350 damage from meleeing them, and that's avoiding the blue light and running back and forth to be in the dragon's melee range for only one tick. The 'without impacting upon the experience of legitimate players' is a lie, pure and simple.

The frost dragon nerf is pretty big. Dragons now range. A blue light appears around them, which can hit over 300 it seems.

Get 70 hunter for the awesome cape LTK!

4 year necro, 2000 magic xp :D.

@ Hexiled: inspiration works out to another 5-6 claw specs per hour with rapier, so not great.

Use that as model (for me)?

I think trickster would look better with that gear. It's just hard to get :/.

Crayfish are awful if you want fishing xp, barbarian fishing is far better in that regard.

The only way to find out if it's worth it is by joining the game and see if you find it fun. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I can only say that I still enjoy the game.

Armadyl battlestaff is +15% magic damage, much better than master wand because you don't have to switch it as well. Your setup sounds perfect Untimely, use a soul wars cape if you like long trips, and charging your helmet with scrolls won't do much as they always go off at the wrong time (costs money).

Gold is about 50% faster than coal, if not more. You just gain so much more ore that it's probably better money as well (@ lrc). If not mining at lrc, you should really really really consider mining granite and dropping it as everything else is terrible xp, but iron would be the best money + xp if you had to make money.

@ Urza: you can bring 3 mining potions (4), and banking is better with a duelling ring, but otherwise you're right. Gold mining gear isn't worth it but you lose only a few hours to 99 getting it.

For about 1m xp, count on ~4 hours and ~5000 chins, about 2.5m?

Storm of Armadyl is 120/hr at a cost of about 3m. At your rates, that is 19.2 blues, 76.8 crimsons, 241.2 greens and 93.3 golds per hour, an effigy every 75 minutes and your rates for 8.5m visage and 55m dfh, that's 16k per kill in loot, + yakking bones (2k profit per bone) so about 2.16m/hr loot not counting rune battleaxes and whatnot. Pretty worth it imo.

It's 65 dps versus 55 with a maul, I think that's pretty worth it, but you do need Virtus. You can use eee specs to compensate for some of the ranged defence loss.

96k to 90 fishing, got a 34 + 3 seed run saving the last patch from disease. More fishing now. New suggestions (thanks Newbcake for reminding me): 1) A new casting mode similar to defensive casting, closed casting: reduces range to one, increases attack speed by one. Works for all spells (so including god spells, magic dart, ancients and whatnot) but the speed upgrade doesn't stack with the speed boost of Armadyl battlestaves, and multi-target still can't hit more than one square away from you. 2) Hybrid weapons: Allow certain weapons, such as the Zaryte bow, to cast spells with each attack. For example, take a half-damage Zaryte bow hit, add a fire surge, and you got a nice weapon (use trickster :D). Woot 90 fishing!!!:D etc. Opened 5 sated effigies, 424k to 91. Short-term goals: Reset (4 occ) C2s (250-300k fishing xp) 91 fishing 89 hunter + last hunt rock for 18th statue (gathered + added all other pairs but had to wait a week anyway, so didn't bother getting it yet) 98 melees

With free trade, adamant arrows are no longer profitable and jumped to the gp/xp of broad (almost), so that's very possible, but idk.
