You're splitting accuracy from chance to hit monsters? Isn't that the very definition? Give me an example of where accuracy is capped please - I'm actually unaware of any thing of the sort.

2384 accuracy vs 3043. Around 36% better.

Right, I completely forgot shields. Take Quest's advice up there

Right now, and in my opinion, (And in order) Definitely Maul Chaotic Staff Off-hand Rapier As for the crossbows, Dual Wielding seems to be a bit sub-par for now (We got hinted at an update to bring them up to date). With the likelihood of the promised Ranged slayer dungeon coming 'soon', and with it, potentially lvl 90 ranged weapons, I think I'd prefer a Zaryte / Royal Crossbow for now :P Demon horn necklace also seems good to camp the likes of Ganos nowadays. Thought I should mention it even though it's not a Chaotic :P

Ok then, comparison time! Bandos - Lowers your opponent's defence if their own level is above a certain threshold (Around 1 level reduction on most beasties) Passive effect activation chance: 25% Price tag: 2,770,138 Zamorak - Stuns / Binds your target, much like an Ice Barrage Passive effect activation chance: 25% Price tag: 3,929,295 Armadyl - Raises your Attack and Strength levels both by 1 level each time the effect hits, up to a maximum, stackable boost of 10% on your actual level. (Level 60 Attack / 70 Strength person would get the max boost at 66 Attack / 77 Strength. Not sure if the stack rounds up or down, as in, level 99 max stack could be 9 or 10) Passive effect activation chance: 25% Price tag: 7,439,712 Saradomin - Chance to restore some of your lifepoints and a low chance of restoring some of your Prayer points. Passive effect activation chance: 25% Price tag: 29,581,638 Let's assume all GE market values are correct. We can discard the ZGS special for it is of 0 use. We can discard the AGS special for any self-loving player uses potions. Now, for the SGS special to be worth it, you'd either have to be facing an enduring boss, in which scenario the BGS would arguably be better, for it'd lower the boss' Defence, making him easier to hit, on average, or you'd have to be facing an extremely low Defence monster and have a luck roll beyond belief. Assuming a Slayer scenario, there is nothing that causes enough damage to justify this whatsoever. The SGS spec is a little added bonus, something of a niche, and is not something you should drop 30m for. Now, factor in Shield abilities (You can use a 2h and swap in a shield when you have a full adrenaline bar to use Rejuvenate, for instance, or even swap in for Resonance, if you see a special attack coming, even though this is less practical since you have an ability cooldown upon switching gear) and even Regenerate, which doesn't need one, and you have a cute scenario, where you simply don't have the need for a recovery special. If you still, however, insist on a health-recovering passive effect, I'm happy to indicate you a Vine Whip / EEE combo, good for Slashing with Momentum activated. Of course, this is less than ideal compared to actively using abilities, but to each his own. ------- Now, as for the Armadyl Battlestaff, it is arguably better than the SoL - I personally note a difference while randomly Slaying / Bossing. I, however, choose not to dish out 19m for a 2 level improve, and stick with the SoL until I muster up 200k dg tokens to buy a weapon 3 levels above the ABS' one. With the premiss of lvl 90 weapons coming sooner rather than later, I'd hold back on getting an ABS just now. Of course, should DG not be an option for whatever reason, you can consider the staff as a good replacement, and as a definite improvement over a SoL. And in the midst of all this, let's not forget JaGeX is still actively tweaking monsters' defenses and what not, and with hinting towards Skill levels and DW becoming less of a drag and more of a benefit ([qfc]198-199-34-64200271[/qfc], page 105 @Mod Dean's post), I'd say that a lvl 75 300k Staff > lvl 77 19m Staff. For now. Or otherwise, lvl 70 Wand + Orb/Book (The arguable DW for Magic) > lvl 77 Staff, who knows what changes will come. And for the love of god. If you create a thread asking if you should sell your pets and summoning pouches to fund DG leeching, I'll personally find you. And slap you. With all the love in the world, Guado.

You already asked in two different threads if you should keep or sell your SGS. You should read the replies there, rather than creating a whole new pretext to ask the same question.

Sorry for the hijack, but gotta ask ^@ What wand? Master Wand? Was this recorded recently, or is it older footage? Last I saw, Master wand was the scourge of magical accuracy OT: Personally, I don't find the benefits of the SGS to be worth its price tag. I find Bandos' effect to be more than enough for pretty much everything, no need to dish out the extra 25m or so for minor healing, especially true after the EoC. I have no data to backup what I just claimed, but it's from my experience, so uh, yeah.

I'm not sure how this data holds up in credibility, but you might want to cruise around it a little bit, in case you haven't already.

Spot the glitch

Not sure if it's an oversight or what, but the XP table page seems to lack a link now :( Was it moved, or entirely scrapped?

Did 2 small floors, first one was Gluttunous Behemoth. Primal Boots. True story. Was what, F3?

I wouldn't click that link, coming from someone who is most likely an impersonator. Also, notice the .org, odd to see in a hoster's site.

On topic, Dragon Bones on your own Gilded altar (if you boost), or on a house party world with your best BoB out is pretty decent. Beware, though, that even though it isn't rendered useless, Turm loses quite a bit of its knack on the EoC. I can't comment on SS, but if they keep the Titans and Cannons damage being SSed to you as currently, which honestly sounds like a bug, it'd be pretty cool.

We're assuming that lamping Agility and Summoning over Slayer is good because of the EoC estimated rates, right? Not current live ones

It's unefficient, nobody plays it, it's dead content. =3=3=3=3=3 Am I cool yet? Gosh.

Gives you a Herb patch good for one harvest

If you have 99 Slay, you can probably afford the 70k/h until you hit 300k/hour in a few levels

On a bit of a derail but still on topic, are Ganos worth doing anymore? Last I did them they were around 2m/h with plenty of effigies. Assume Ahrims/99 magic/ovls/cannon

You can't place cheap and fast on the same sentence. Do you want fast, or do you want cheap? Or do you want a balance of them both? (Oak larders, don't know about fastest/cheapest for 60, but you can look into Mahogany Tables)

According to their Q&A Thread [[qfc]311-312-6-63943427[/qfc]], Q2: Why has the royal crossbow lost that which made it unique, namely its bleeding/lock-on abilities? A2: In order to keep the new combat system as balanced as possible we had a choice of making the royal xbow a lower level xbow with it's special ability OR lose the special and make it a high level xbow. There were pros and cons of both but we eventually decided on making it a beefy high end 2h xbow . Page 2, Mod Avatar Imo, it should have retained its ability and lost some of its power - That was the appeal, and given that people who've assembled the Cbow can't get their value back / would upset the market if they could, it'd seem only logic. I'm not bugged enough to try to, but if you are, I suggest you make a thread on the EoC Forums with some feedback on it, and try to garner support, and Jagex could possibly change it, they actually *listen* to feedback on the Beta ;)

http://forum.tip.it/topic/303451-wip-how-to-do-dks-right-as-a-high-levelled-player/ That's the best guide out there, IMO, however imcomplete/WIP it may be. If you don't want to follow that strategy, you can take a look at the suggested inventories / setups, and replace things you won't use (Like barrage runes) with others you may need, be it brews or whatnot

I'm not sure if you would, but if you do, you'll only get 300k in September, if you stay subbed for the month afaik

I don't like it any more than you guys, or any real RS player, does, but so far, my best guess is two lamps, just...like that.
