Exp/hr
jungles, deserts, warped torts, spirit mages I would definitely block I would not do greaters, because while I've recorded some of my slowest slayer xp rates there (@ kuradal's dungeon), they don't require a slayer level to hunt, so they probably don't appear as often as other monsters as your task. I guess wyverns are a good choice for the last one. It's a little hard to distinguish between wyverns, and say other tasks.

sure, but it's like a ripple effect. the farther away you get from the source of the problem, the less pronounced the effects tend to be. I doubt secondaries will rise too noticeably.

Exp/hr
I'd say 40-45k xp/hour is a reasonable number for someone of your stats I wouldn't block black dragons. You have a rapier, great stats, and you can cannon them in the evil chicken lair. I wouldnt block gargs either, they have low defense. If you wan't to block something like gargs, block greater demons instead. They're both in kuradal's dungeon, only one has a lower hitpoint count, meaning you get alot of overkill hits, and slower overall xp rate. As far as I know, there are few convenient places to cannon them either. Wyverns are slow xp, but good for charms/drops. Not a bad choice. but I'm surprised you didn't block waterfiends if you blocked wyverns. The two tasks are very similar: slow slayer xp, good charm drops, decent drops. I wouldn't block kalphites because the tasks are short. From my understanding, monsters with slayer level reqs to kill are 2x more likely to appear as slayer tasks. I recommend you block jungle-desert strykewyrms unless you want lvl 4 cluescrolls.

Why Third Age Druidic Equipment IS good
i think ahrim robes are arguably better for strykewyrms though. you're sacrificing a few gp/hour for better magic accuracy and it's not like strykewyrms have negligible magic defense. that and i can't think of any boss monsters you'd want to mage, where you would be willing to sacrifice melee/ranged defense.

Why Third Age Druidic Equipment IS good
yeah, you have to realize the amount of savings you get from using 3a druidic over other gear only amounts to about 20k-50k gp/hour

Why Third Age Druidic Equipment IS good
[spoiler=I would like to contradict your assertion that the druidic robes have god stats]third age druidic, is for most intents useless. the druidic top has inferior prayer bonuses to proselyte the legs are equal to monkrobes/proselyte. The helm is a massive +7 prayer bonus, but that is still inferior to the Cwar halos. and nobody is really going to use that staff. The cloak is inferior to the ardy cloak 3 and soul wars cape each individual prayer point becomes more and more worthless, the more you have. Most higher level players will find it more efficient to simply wear armor with higher mage bonus while maging if their income is high enough. The only people who will find using this efficient are those with low incomes, who need the prayer bonus more than offense. ironically enough, such players tend not to have 245 mil sitting around :P I think the only reason they released this is so that tier 4 has its own 3rd age set. From my understanding, you cant get 3a melee/range/mage from tier 4 cluescrolls

04-Aug-10 Elite Treasure Trails!
I just went to MTK and I was informed that my stockrooms are full. it's making me wonder how MTK data is actually stored. hopefully none of our MTKs are wiped! panic! :P that stockroom full thing *might* just from me leaving MTK unlooted for ~half a year. might be glitch related though. I can't really tell.

04-Aug-10 Elite Treasure Trails!
I agree, much as I personally would love a rollback, It doesn't sound like the impact was too big. A handful of players got really rich really quick, but meh. Props to Jagex for catching it so quickly. but I haven't checked my KM in like half a year lol. I can barely contain my... "curiosity" about this whole situation :P

Seems pretty serious, I wonder if there will be a rollback?

04-Aug-10 Elite Treasure Trails!
Look at the lvl four rewards... http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/treasure_trails_rewards The stats... you can look up all the item stats from GE, except for weapon speeds. none of the items have exceptional stats, except for maybe the animal staffs. there are 5 animal staffs and only 4 elements because the cat staff doesn't appear to have an element I've put in an offer for 2 fury ornament sets, and i've already bought up 10 sets of armadyl and bandos GWD armor. i'm expecting a rebound now that we know the holy ranger was just more black d'hide decoration variants. oh and dude, why are dragon masks 15-20 mil ea o.O

Draconic Visage..
runescape isn't shrodinger's cat <_< there exists a drop rate.

Fishing F2P Style
after you catch a fish, you cannot catch another for ~3 seconds. during that time frame you can drop 1-3 fish, without slowing down your fishing. lots more effort, but it's not always possible to rely on runners.

Chaotic Rapier or Chaotic Longsword?
It's worth mentioning that the cost for a chaotic weapon is far below 200k/hour, with pure cash. it depends on the # of monsters that are attacking you simultaneously. If it's just 1 at a time, then it's far below 200k/hour PS calculations would indicate that a rapier on stab is much better than a longsword on slash, in terms of DPS, even on heavily armored player targets You need to realize that a +10% increase in DPS will always give you a +10% increase in kill rate whereas a +10% increase in accuracy will always give you less than a +10% increase in kill rate

Newfound Uses for Modern Prayers
according to rs wiki it's 1 point per 2.6 seconds as opposed to 1 point per 2 seconds for piety. That's an awful lot of prayer points for healing, that's roughly on par with a bunyip.

02-Aug-10 Behind the Scenes August
12 new occult floors basically means that, strategies for old bosses like Ballak, stomp, etc will be obsolete outside of rushes, and players under 93 dungeoneering. But it means we need to figure out strats for 6 new bosses.

Will the new range prayer be worth it for pking?
How would it not be worth it? Are you under the impression that it will drain 60 prayer points a second? :P

learn2AOG :) real time strategy is one thing, but it's a lot harder to mess up turn based strategy.
-
Shadow Silk Hood or Prom Plate?
brutes and hobgoblins are REALLY weak to stab. It's the difference between like missing 20% of the time with a 2H and never missing with a spear. but overall the 2H is worth it for the berserker class anyways is there still a glitch that slash on the spear works with berserker? *shrug*

An Elitist's View on Crashing
It doesn't always make sense to put in the effort. I'll hop zamorak Spirit mages, since I know there are always empty worlds. But If I want to cannon lighthouse dagannoths, I'll never hop because I'll probably never find an empty world anyways.

I'd rather they split the updates up then waiting until they're all ready and releasing them at once. how many people actually plan to get much farther than level 93 anyways?

A quote from the user Andrew_Calcs from the high-level forum who entered the base xp value for each floor to calculate the higher floors Hmm so floor 47 is around double the XP of 35? interesting. No more, for floor 47 the base xp is also 1.79 (a bit higher) times as high so it would be more like 1.79² times as much xp for floor 47, if you get 50k on f35 with 35 prestige now you'll get like 160k on floor 47 with max prestige :thumbup: F35 xp does get about doubled though which is awesome too. Wait no thats not right. Never mind this post lol I shouldn't post when in a hurry I collected the same set of data and came out with a higher value than that for floor 47 Why don't they fix mobilising armies first? mobilising armies was a beta test of sorts, meant to expand the content abilities of runescape. Jagex made a post right before the release of MA telling players not to expect much out of the gameplay. anyways AOG is one of the highest rated funorb games, I don't blame jagex for emulating that in runescape.

Future Update Discussions
That's Zamorak d'hide that was released in the previous tt update. someone found holy ranger in the cache, it's just the blessed d'hides in the previous TT update with a trim around the god symbol in the front. We wouldn't be able to tell if that was the holy ranger or not.

Found a hidden picture hint
It would make sense that KQ would drop elite cluescrolls Jagex mentioned a drop update for KQ, giant mole, KBD, and chaos elemental would be getting a drop update since their drops were updated.
