and if they said there awasn't gonna be an update until about the 11th, why's everybody whining? It's not whining. Those of us who pay for our membership expect jagex to keep up a regular update schedule. For those of us who reupped just because of christmas and have already gone through the vast majority of other content in the game it's a real let down and money waste. Personally I hate to grind so i have no interest in going for 99's, i'm not really big on boss hunting, and i've played all the minigames and done all the quests, so what is there left for me besides waiting for new content? Edit - i also strongly dislike pvp. When i pay for a month of membership i expect that within those 4 weeks, there will be at least 2 updates. Now i don't expect an update every week, and i can even accept the occasional 2 week gap. But with waiting until the 11th for a new update, that will spell an entire month(11th dec is when a chrismas warble came out) without an update. That means one full membership period without a single update. That is just not fair to those of us who pay and have come to expect a certain standard. Then again maybe the 11th is going to spell some massive game changing super update and we'll all be singing praises, who knows, but for now i just want the normal update schedule. Edit 2 - Granzi while you may see those as unaccomplished things to do, some of us see them as droll and boring. For me i play the game for quests. When no new quests are available i generally lapse into inactivity. Like i said before, I'm not interested in a lot of the common goals. I don't give a damn about castle wars armor or void or infinity robes. I do want to finish my achievement diaries and am working towards it but that's more of a goal just to pass the time until a new quest comes out. As far as music, i never have it on so i don't give a damn about unlocking it. And yes i have completed all quests and subquests. You see while there may be things to do technically, some of us just don't like doing those bloody things, and i find it very ignorant of you to assume that just because they exist means we should want to do them. No we don't expect updates. Those of us paying for membership do so because we expect a bigger world, more skills, making things easier to train. To be fair not getting an update shouldn't bother members, you still wont get a free Dragon Platebody, or an automatic 99 so apart from a little bit of something like maybe a quest or a skill update what do we miss? Nothing much? Yes? And if you've done all that then why are you playing? If you're that bored that all you do is log in for updates what's the point? There is always something to do, skills to be raised, MTK to be done, monsters to kill, the variety on runescape is there for us to take not for Jagex to plonk right infront of us. I've recently got bored again of combat and slayer, I spent yesterday doing agility, I spent today fishing, tomorrow I'll do something else...... You have 28 skills to rise, so raise them. Jagex didn't just create them for the lulz. Each helps players in different ways so explore them. And if you're really that bored after all that then why don't you buy another games console or something? Or go play another game? So don't preach that members expect a certain standard and schedule, we shouldn't. Jagex work hard, and they do damn well with their pressure. No matter what update is released SOMEONE will complain. We already have the standard for the game as we pay what? Between £3.50 and £6 in the UK (don't know what it is for others but it's the exchanged equivalent) The standard is that we get skills, we get achievement capes, we get bosses, we get everything that free players do and more. NOTE: Libs I apologise if it seemed that I took your post the wrong way..... I actually found it rather humorous about them being meteorologists, I was kinda replying to the past 3 pages worth of posts complaining that there wouldn't be an update till the 11th yet Jagex could still make twitter updates etc.

So they're meteorologists too? Is there anything they can't do? Oh yeah, fix the in game economy... read ban appeals. I can't believe that when jagex loads an update so many people criticise it then when they don't so many people still criticise them! Look England at the minute is in the grip of quite "bad snow conditions" with Cambridge being one of the worst hit areas here according to the news. So stop criticising the fact that they may have the odd day off work because of the snow. Many of the creators and developers probably have families and kids so it might only be a little bit fair that they get a little bit of slack from us and a little bit extra time with their families. So before you start blaming Jagex for it all etc blame this stupid governement we have here that isn't even able to handle this little bit of white stuff. -.- [/rant]

MEP2 is well known as being one of the most infamous quests out there with regards to the agility and difficulty. So I've recently been training my agility in a vain hope to get it up for MEP2 however I don't know what level would be advised to raise it too..... any ideas? Also I've read the guide numerous times and it does sound very difficult especially with the shadows attacking all the time..... so what would be a good setup to wear whilst doing this quest? Or do I have to wear the mourners outfit all the time? Cheers for any help, tips or advice, Ez

Sharks from 76 to 99 is an insane method to do..... Firstly Sharks take longer to fish, and secondly it's for less exp. Your best bet as said above by Serpy (and yus I am quoting you on it my lil crewbie) is monkfish. Swan Song is a really really easy quest for amazing benefits....... If you really want to do sharks though I'd advise you to fish to about 92 so you get half the fishing exp out the way and a nice little bit of money before you start fishing sharks. Good Luck! As for how long it would take I'd probably say about a good few months from your level. It also depends what you want from fishing - profit or cape...... If you want the cape then go for Barbarian Fishing and drop the fish; though the outpost is just a short run and you can make a bit of money from making mixes. The next best bet would be shilo. If you want it for profit then go for harpooning things until you can fish monkfish at about 66, then monkfish till 92 or so then sharks. Though monkfish till 99 is a very very quick and profitable method.

I've been doing MTK for a while and have had it on 5 coal and 10 raw fish which gets me about 1.5 - 2m a week. I've also looked at the GE and see that herbs are absolutely mental prices atm. So what would people say the best profit in MTK comes from, as I'd really like to get more bang for my buck?

I'm just looking for the best, most cost effective way to get myself to 80 Magic to unlock "String Amulet" spell. So what methods would be advised? I'd like something semi afkable that isn't click intensive and isn't alching. Also does anyone know the projected cost of getting from 80 to 99 Mage via String Ammy? Thankies, Ez x

Right ok, so I'll keep looking then; Thanks for the advice. Would you recommend the BCP Veracs skirt combo then if I did get one? Also looking at the 180 day graph it seems like drops like this have happened before only for it to sky rocket again between a certain time - eg 26th Oct = major drop, 02 Nov = 22.5M On a side note, is it really worth pietying slayer tasks? I'm now starting to get my attack and strength up from 75 and seem to be having no real problems with it when I superset; so is it really worth paying 13K a pot for something that'll only give me a little increase in my attack and strength? Also what'd be a good level to train prayer to?

You need atleast over 75K in the coffers to start getting anything as the people working for you cost 75K a day. :)

Yeah it does help a little, I've always known about the less defence which is why I guess most people go around with a DFS (like myself), also less def wont really bother me as I have 99. And if I waited a few days, what price would you say to buy at? I did that when DFS crashed to 15m and then somehow the GE didn't update that day, so I franticly sold alot of things so that when it did update the price to 17m I could buy it (something that I wouldn't really want to do again). And as far as selling things is concerned is a ZS really that useful anywhere other than WF's? And would slayer runes be a good thing to cash in now (I have about 3m worth to get), if so how many points to have left? Also what could I pair the BCP or Tassets with? I've seen many people work with BCP and Veracs skirt yet many with Tassets and a Barrow body. So I'm at a loss as to which combo would be best or what'd be recommended.

I've been looking to buy a BCP and Tassets for ages now; however I've always put it off as "the price isn't right", "it'll drop soon", "hmm if I sell my dfs and use my 15m.... nah... I like my dfs" Kinda excuses :P So I was wondering whether people truly think it's worth the money...... Also what people think about the GE graphs, I've been keeping an eye on them for ages, and have been getting more and more annoyed that if I had had my 15m 180+ days ago I could have had both by now ;p So today I take a look and the BCP went down 1.2m today and the Tassets 1.1m (graphs - BCP Tassets) And looking at these graphs it makes for very interesting analysis...... Are they showing that BCP and Tassets are finally plummeting like prophescised when they started raising exorbitantly. Also money wise with my 15m i can increase it to 16.5 or so, then 20.5 selling my ZS, 22 selling my Torags body and legs, and then finally get 3m from my stockpiled slayer points...... Would this be worth doing to get the BCP? Opinions please :) Cheers, Ez

Surely using a cannon there is practically suicide?

Hmmm, Maybe; but isn't range def paramount in this cave where cannoneers hit over 40?

Just did the forgiveness of the Chaos Dwarf quest and I was wondering what setup would be good for me to use to try killing things in the battlefield? I currently have a tester one: Neitz, Fury, Torag body Torag Leg RoL D Boots Whip DFS and my new def cape. (if all goes well I'd be willing to fire cape) Invo is 3 prayer pots, holy wrench (for when everything is agress and wants to pile) monkfish and a bunyip (for when non agress) Any ideas if this is a good set up or not? Cheers Ez

*cough*didn'tsomeonesaytheywonlastnight?*cough* Gratz anyway! :P 99 Mining is an insane achievement :) No unspam unfortunately

So tonight I decided to get my 99 regardless of who or what came to see me..... which means that chee is dead meat next time :) But I went and did something by accident and got it with Draz and Iyis but not Libertherme :( But he joined us soon after =D Screenies of 99:

First time posting in this thread since October 4th (because of uni) but a long awaited goal is coming into sight...... Just need Iyis, Draz, and Libertherme to get members back and I can get it @@@@ Thanks to everyone on here for your help, from Olllyc3 inspiring me to get a 99, Lady H for inspiring 99 def, Iyis, Chee, Draz, Libertherme, Den and Serp for always telling me how noob i was without a 99...... Thank you everyone.

I went in first time, with a pretty much full invent of monks, Tz's (iyis now) encouragement and a setup of - neitz, karils, d boots, whip, dfs, and fire cape..... came out of there on the untouchable with 21HP xD So i have some questions: A. What is the best set up for it? The Inadequacy was whacking off 16's and 15's constantly and then the everlasting was hitting 24's. B. Should I take me a super set in? C. Would rocktails be a worthwile quick investment to try and help me here? D. Any good tactics for attacking these monsters? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Ez

Can anyone give me any idea where abouts I can find this troll thistle? I've been running around the 5 grass patches outside his house like said in the guide looking for them but there is never a "search" or anything option so I don't know where to find it. Any help would be appreciated ^^ Cheers, Ez

What does the Ardy Cloak do then? and hmmm i've heard of that method before, never tried it...... I'm not too fussed about smithing exp atm, I like making cannonballs ^.^...... would the coal trucks be a good method at all either?

I currently have found a type of love for mining on a nooby acc that I made and I'd like to try to take this love to ezkaton but I don't know what to mine. With ez i often found myself losing patience because I felt like I was getting nowhere which I guess is inevitable with the fact that you increase the amount of exp you need each level. However I'm willing to give mining a 2nd chance on him, and therefore I'd like ideas on what to do...... Please please please don't even mention "you could do iron and drop it" or "granite and drop it" because I'd like to bank my ores and make a profit on them if I'm going to put myself through this. So people, suggestions please, all will be extremely helpful! Much love, Ez x P.S. Is a D Pick as useful as people are saying they are??

methinks that according to most slayers yes that is the most easiest way to obtain the slayer helm..... in my opinion you'll be missing out on exp and points; however if you want it that badly then do it the easy way :)

Haha, nothing wrong with us who go for 99 def and become noobs who can't hit any damage ;) Tbf, I went for 99 first because I wanted a challenge as my 75 in attack and strength prove...... however tbf i don't feel limited at all except maybe when people are next to me and killing monsters in half the hits I am; or when fighting a steel dragon and my stats being quite low I need to be careful to pot correctly...... However generally it's fun...... Each 99 makes it easier to get the other - 99 Def makes it easier for Atk and Str, 99 Atk makes it easier for 99 Str and Def, 99 Str makes it easier for 99 Atk and Def..... There is no real "right option" here tbf.... just do what you want to do

My my.... I am intrigued.... methinks this calls for me to come out of semi-retirement and get a few slayer tasks and that elusive 99 I'm bored of chasing..... This really is an awesome update for all slayers...... would have thought there would have been a better reward than that ring; but still I don't really wana knock it till I try it ;) First task off her is 200 waterfiends...... I don't think this is too shabby; and maybe I might make a little profit off them..... who knows? :D Good luck whoever's doing Jad..... you might need it :D

Past few days I've got a couple of snipes, thought I'd post them as my grandad is taking me on holiday to Torquay tomorrow morning for a week :) Just wondering - Does it count if I sniped Eric then forgot to right click his name, and when olly appeared shortly after I sniped them both together? :P Eric [hide=][/hide] Olly and Eric [hide=][/hide] Lady H [hide=][/hide] Vaartjes0 [hide=][/hide] And I found this nub running around keldegram whilst I did the dwarf quests: Da Latios [hide=][/hide]

Now that we have established that I might have a good setup and invo and that I should not stay there longer than 4 hours at a time, where abouts in the GWD should I kill the avis? Stronghold? or where? I'm all kitted up and ready for anything now really, I just need to know where I can get the optimum number of kills without having to swap my fury for the holy symbol that will be in the free slot of my invo.
