So that's what happened to the Berlin wall.................... :blink: I have to say that there were probably very few 93+ slayers who did not have a firecape though. Maybe there weren't but it seems unlikely.

If you did not have a fire cape b4 this point, then this is a hugely positive update. But, i do not like the fact that they changed something that did not need to be change, just because a few people were very loud about it. It was fine, it was actually something that took skill, not grinding, and you got a reward because you had the skill to finish the fight caves. Seemed great to me, and I do not have a fire cape, or the 93 slayer req. I need something to work towards, a goal to set. Giving it to everyone takes the fun out of the exclusitivity of finally reaching a goal. Capitalism > Socialism

I disagree. Wyrms are not hard to kill true, when you have a task of them. But the fact that you needed a fire cape made them hard to kill, for the simple reason that a fire cape was "hard" to get. Removing this was a slap in the face to the people who had completed the fight caves, and actually had a reason to use the fire cape they had recieved. So I think that the compromise was poor because it did make them alot easier. I was actually looking forward to getting a fire cape and eventually killing them. and making something harder is not what anyone is suggesting for a compromise. Killing a strykewyrm without a fire cape was impossible, anything that allows you to kill them without a fire cape would be making them easier anyway. I want to say, to the people who complained about the laggy connection and not being able to finish fight caves because of that, good luck. I dont know how ur gonna dodge the burrow attack if you are lagging, maybe that will get removed too.......

We get to whine now, the whiners already got what they wanted, now its our turn :P Why shouldn't it be hard to kill them without a fire cape? change attacks to some sort of icey attack, and the fire cape keeps you warm against it. The simple fact that jagex nerfed another thing annoys me. We started with extreme pots, then nope that got nerfed. They nerfed the extreme mage even further, and now the only thing that makes ice strykewryms hard to kill is gone. When the staff of light came out, I figured it was something that people would whine about. I really hope the spec stays like it is. My second compromise doesnt make it harder to fight them in any way tho. Just makes it pointless till you have a fire cape.

i think that it should take like 6k points, or all the points you have. Whichever is greater. So min cost would be 6k. I really hate that they are doing this, I think firecape should be required for more things. A good compromise i can think of would be the wyrms hittng you twice as hard when you do not have firecape on, and prayer could only negate this by 40%. Thus forcing you to pray constantly while on task and making the slayer task totally not worth it. Or just making it impossible to recieve a staff of light as a dro without wearing fire cape. And you cannot wield a staff of light unless you have finished the fight caves at least once. This would allow people to use sol even if they have lost their fire cape, as long as they have owned one previously. This would show the whiners that jagex doesnt care about brats who scream and cry, they listen to the people who are able to reason, think clearly, and actually appreciate working for something.

oooo a new game to play :) I think i might have to do this b4 any waterfiend task :) 150 crimson from 50 waterfiends sounds reasonably decent :P for the location hints in the OP, would the place where doors talk be the stronghold of security. Only place I can think of with talking doors.

nope, i posted on it b4 so it was in my posts. I was just reading thru what they were talking about at the time and forgot that it was super old. Well now, don't you feel silly? haha, i admit i laughed when i saw your post asking why i posted. I was like *facepalm* lol. Maybe i will come back in june or something and post again o_0. lol jk

LOL! I love when people forget the obvious things like that. I remeber people thought you could train a pure summoning account with Tears of Guthix (half a cookie to whoever finds the logical flaw in this one). People also forget that summoning familiars give combat xp when you fight with them, so even if you did get to 99 with lamps/penguins, it won't stay "purely pure" for long. tears of guthix only gives xp in your lowest skill, so after one time, sum isn't your lowest skill. :P you owe me a cookie. However, I know i saw a lvl 3 skiller with like 75 slayer on the highscores. Cant remember his name tho. Off topic, but where does tears of guthix place the xp if all of the skills are on the same xp and level? I have no idea. Maybe it splits it? to know for sure we gonna have to wait for someone with 200m xp in all skills lol

Heck yes! but lol not really, i wasnt payin attention to post dates sry

Yeah because most people with 93 slayer have 80 combat stats :P Lol, with only one exception that i know of (ellebreyals).

I am not sure about that. I just got one myself so i havent had an oppurtunity to try it out, but i hear of people hitting 70+ with fire surge, using staff of light and hex or full slayer helm. I gotta finish my waterfiends task first and hopefully i will get a task that lets me try it out :) Hitting 70+ where? At ice strykewyrms? Yea, that has already been said/shown many times. Yes, at ice strykewryms. I havent looked it up yet tho. Is that high damage from the hex and staff, or is that a weakness the wyrms have to fire spells that allows you to hit that high? It's their weakness... Oh, I thought weaknesses usually let you just hit more often, not harder. Guess jagex made some exceptions :P

I can do it very quickly now, but you try with only 80 range and under 80 in all other combat stats. As i said, I waited for natural health regeneration a few times cause I didnt have many doses of brew left. Used regen brace and prayer, but it still takes a while to recover like 65 hp.

haha it took me forever cause i was ranging with broad bolts at 80 range and i stood around a few times waiting for my hp to go up. I had to do that cause I only had like 3 doses of brew left. It was my first time. Yes, we all know you can log out. How many fire capes do you have? If you want to get technical like that, it acutally took me about 6 or 7 hours, seeing as i went to class a few times during the whole day. Inventive insult tho, Gotta love the immaturity on these forums. Now, please go age like 10 years and stop insulting people because you apparently know everything about this game you started playing last year and do not yet have the patience to complete the fight caves at one time. Leaving and coming back does not take patience, that is more along the ADD lines. Or if you do not understand what that means, it is for the extremely impatient.

If you pull it off, let me know :) I know how it is too, i used to play with dial up >.< Now that's laggy.........lol Oh god. No kidding. I actually gave up playing RuneScape for a couple of years because between the lag and disconnects, it just got too frustrating to play. >_< Now I have DSL. Not that I plan to make any tries for Jad anytime soon. Partly because I don't feel like it, and partly because I'm nowhere near level 93 in Slayer yet so it's not like I actually need the cape. Fighting wave after wave after wave of monsters doesn't really sound like my idea of a good time anyway. XD; its actually not too bad. I got to jad once and died :P but it didnt take too long, only like 2 hours. that was a long time ago tho, so i could do it alot faster now cause all my skills are between 10-15 lvls higher :P

Has anyone actually used this shortcut to get to the Kings? When I tried it during the quest, it wouldn't let me go down that ladder. Answer: Saying the same thing again doesn't help. When the quest came out, a lot of us got excited about this supposed new shortcut to the Dagannoth Kings but then it turned out not to work. I'm looking for confirmation that someone has gone in through the shortcut and then actually gone down the ladder that takes you to the DK's, because when I tried it didn't let me. I believe you actually have to let vargas die.

If you pull it off, let me know :) I know how it is too, i used to play with dial up >.< Now that's laggy.........lol

Agreed. :)

more worlds would be amazing. I hate crashing and being crashed at bosses. Just creates bad feeling all over the place.

Tbh, i want my grandkids to come over someday and ask to play runescape on my computer. Then i will be able to bust out what will be then my lvl 138 maxed (hopefully) and wow them all with my ancient items and tons of money. :) it will be fun :D

Yup, i saw that a bit after this thread came out. Solves our math problems in one swipe!!!! :D lol

Sir, please get the [bleep] out. You're making my IQ drop. Yeah. Stop writting for little children ffs. You're compromising their future. Lol why am i getting flamed for saying wtvr? I think you are getting flamed mostly for saying that in because from that short sentance, it appears you think the person who is saying that lvl 3 with 99hp or summoning is incorrect. Saying "uh yeh....wtvr" when someone stats a fact implies disbelief at least, and mostly that you think they are insane. That and the misspelling/dropping the vowels brings to mind the mindless [cabbage] that fills 99.99% of the rants forum. Add those two together and is it such a surprise that people are flaming you?

Interestingly enough, Lorica is untrimmed summoning cape, Slayerbelle is first untrimmed slayer cape, Ellebreyals is 10hp with 99 slayer, and Villandra is a maxed account. And they are all the same person. That frightens me... OMFG that guy has NO LIFE Tip it did an interview with her (yes, its a girl) a while back. Thats how i know that. Search villandra or slayerbelle on the tip.it site. But, she was bedridden with medical conditions for like 3 years, so it's no surprise that she was able to do that, she had all the time in the world.
