@ everyone who said d scim + d def, stop posting misinformation. OP asked for fastest exp/hr which D scim + d def is not. A saradomin sword will be the fastest exp/hr of the three options listed. So spend the money on that and a berserker ring.

Obt is like a dream caused by inception inside of the matrix where the entire cast of Glee is singing the song that never ends. Every thread I go now to ends up bringing me back here...

it never happened. Pay_Me signed up for DGS and realized that I'm an admin there, and my guess is he didn't want to piss me off. Good move on his part. Might just be the best thing I've ever heard of. Or was that this... It was probably that. BTW who made you banner for your sig?

Rawr, consider this blawg obsessively shadowed. Also lets DG when I get my membership back. I'm gonna spend a few weeks in dungeonsweepers chat to learn some more so I don't suck then it will be l33t h4x0rz

First of all, its called obsessively shadowing. :shades: Second of all, dang it now theres all this pressure! Thirdly, I love party's. As soon as I rswiki where to get those kegs of beer in game I will be there.

Hmm, really? Is there any links providing me detailed info on Cannoning black demons? Never heard of it being effective but I'd definately prefer it if it is. As for Waterfiends and even Black Demons, that also takes into account Maxed melee or close to it with Iron+ Titans and Overloads I thought. I'm a Range Tank with 74/74 attack and strength and only 85 herb. Is that cannoning method still any good for me in particular? Cannon will suit you the best. Just suit up with your best str boosting gear with anything above a 15+ prayer bonus. Set up your cannon (this is at taverly), use your strongest potions for att/str, as well as piety/turmoil. For a familiar bring a BoB for more prayer potions, yak being used to bank various drops. You will also get a nice amount of effigies from black demons.

The part about it becoming part of /obt/ made me laugh so loud my family told me to shut it cuz they were watching TV. I'm so easily amused... :unsure: Also thanks for the sig compliment Low C

@ sir squab I sent you a pm so as not to spam this thread. BTW who won the battle royal?

Because lots of people aren't into bossing at all, either because they have no interest or they don't have the stats. edit what LS'ing problem? It's besides the point for the scope of this suggestion imo, im concerned about adding content to make smithing more appealing. Yea adding crafting would be the best way to go probably. The whole purpose for it being a 100% drop is so that you don't have to play the luck game, gives more incentive to try. But yes a drop rate that common would probably also serve the purpose. The point of making it so that the smithing/crafting level required to reforge/repair the fragments the same as the defense level to wear it is so that once the tier 90 and tier 99 armours come out you don't have the same imbalance as we have now, namely smithing being maxed out for usefullness too soon. The bosses would drop the full pieces of armour that have no life point boosts, and the fragments that when reforged would have the same offensive/defensive stats and a boost to your life points. So yes, you have the concept. The idea for torva is to remove the exisiting lifepoint boosts on the pieces already out there and add it to the new reforged pieces. People will rant yes, but in the long run it will make things better.

How did your competition go with the guy claiming a compensation long sword beats a crapier at bandos?

Nice so at the beach today I threw a bunch of goldfish crackers at a sandcastle and watched as the seagulls demolished it for me trying to get the crackers. I think I found my new favorite passtime. :thumbsup:

You live in MN bro? I've lived there literally my whole life.... BTW just made a giant thread about fixing smithing, click my sig to read it and give feedback pl0x :shades:

Well Tip It Forums, I've been pondering this problem for well over a year now and I think I have a viable solution. So I submit it to you, what I consider to be some of the brightest minds in the community, to get your feedback in identifying how this would be good, bad, stupid, or smart. The Problem [hide] Smithing as a skill is broken. It is one of the few skills that has things to do all the way to level 99, which is good, but unfortunately this caps out at makings a rune platebody...not the most useful piece of equipment in the world. While once the king of its day this baby is what made the first people to get 99 smithing obscenely rich. Now however it is entirely outclassed by all of its barrows counterparts, bandos, some pieces of dragon equipment, torva, fighter torso, etc. As a result smithing has become a money sink, with little incentive to train outside of the sweet cape you will be happy with for a total of five min. This is where my suggestion comes in... [/hide] Another piece of the puzzle [hide] Another little problem of runescape is the drop system for our most current bosses. Given maxed players can camp some of the older bosses for hours on end solo while some of the other bosses are near unsoloable there is an issue. The harder that the bosses become the rarer their drops have been made. Common estimates put the drop rate of a divine in the 1/800 - 1/1200 range. Thats a lot of kills with a team for a very low chance of even getting the drop. Few people even go to Nex anymore simply because she is so time consuming to fight (finding a team, gearing up, kill count, gearing up again and waiting for the whole team to get the kill count, the actual fight) and can only be killed so few times in a single trip. As a result pieces of lifepoint boosting armour are neigh unbuyable, being placed above max cash and rare beyond all belief. My suggestion will solve this problem and the smithing skill in one clever swoop...[/hide] The Solution [hide] Simply put, armour fragments. When killing a boss monster after this update you will receive a 100% drop of an armor fragment for the bosses corresponding unique piece of armour(s). If you have the smithing level equal to the defense level required to wear the item you may take your collected fragments and reforge them into a full piece of the set of armour. This is applicable all the way from rune armour to every tier above for the chest, legs, and helm slots. For instance. I kill General Graar. I receive a "Bandos Armour Fragment" for my first kill. After 100 kills I've collected 100 fragments and receive a little chat notification letting me know that I've collected enough for reforging a set of Bandos Tassets. Sweet I think to myself, grab my hammer and run to the nearest anvil. I use the shards on the anvil and BAM there are my shiny new Bandos Tassets (b)... WTF? That's right, any pieces of armour you reforge yourself will be bound to your account and untradeable. This is to balance out people making obscene amounts of money from camping bosses on top of the cash they get from the tradeable drops. "But Jac! Why would anyone want to hunt bosses for these sets of untradeable armours?" Because any armour you forge yourself will have in addition to the stats of its tradeable counterparts life points boosting properties Back to our story, I look down at my chat message box and gasp to see that I leveled up in smithing! But I wasn't even close to a level...checking my exp gains that I conveniently had reset before reforging this piece of armor I find that I've gained (smithing level * 1500) smithing experience for reforging these tassets. Thats a nice chunk of change! [/hide] Potential Problems [hide] 1. There is not a boss for every piece of dragon/rune equipment, such as metal dragons being responsible for dragon platelegs drops. An easy fix to this is have the fragment drop set at intervals (every 5 kills or so) or require a larger amount. Requiring a larger amount can be determined on the difficulty of the boss. At Nex for instance, the legs could cost only 10 shards to make. Another fix for this is to add in lower level bosses specifically for non-maxed players to access these new armours/reforging options. It is also an opportunity to rework the drop tables of existing outdated bosses. 2. Nex's armour already has life point boosting properties. Solution? Increase the defensive/offensive qualities of her armours and remove the LP boost. This would make the untradeable version still as desireable as well as making it more rewarding for those who actually go out of their way to kill Nex. 3. Some boss's have drops for range/magic armour. I won't lie I don't have a good solution for this, incorporate crafting somehow would make sense. Also how would/could one choose which type of fragment they want to recieve (i.e. at Nex would I get to choose which kind of fragment I want between the melee/range/mage armours? An option here would be to have a toggle function at Nex's banker). [/hide] Summary [hide] Bosses drop armour shards as a 100% drop. After acquiring a number of these shards they can be reforged into account bound pieces of armour that boost your lifepoints when worn. Reforging them requires a smithing level equal to the defense level required to wear the piece of armour. Reforging provides generous smithing experience to the reforger. [/hide] So there you go, a smithing fix that doesn't involve changing the table for when you can smith things, add new ores/bars, or generally suck. It provides incentive for more people to boss hunt themselves as well as incentives to train their smithing level up. This will get better as Jagex adds the next tiers of armour as well. Things YOU can do. 1. Help me come up with reworks for drop tables of existing bosses to include rune armour/dragon armour etc. If we have to include adamantite armour I would not be opposed to it. 2. Help me come up with a formula for the smithing experience gained from reforging each piece of equipment at each armour tier (i.e. reforging bandos should be more exp than reforging rune). 3. Point out any other area's that need improvement or need to be nerfed. 4. Spread the word. Thanks you :shades:

Ahh, got it, econ eh? Mind if I ask how you feel about this presidential administrations choices like healthcare etc? So I'm in Florida right now on a family vacation, and unlike most people I get a long really well with my family. My bro is my drinking buddy when we play Halo together and all that fun stuff. We get to spend all day at the beach in 78 degree weather while back home in MN the high for today is like 40. /end of irl stuff happening today.

Without access to your stats or anything like that it's hard to give a good assessment of where you'll be making the best money. If you have 99 hunter and 69 summoning than I would say grenwalls hunting, especially if you have scentless potions. But I don't know if you have any of those because your stats aren't linked... At level 78 combat though I would say that greens and blues are a little risky. Unless of course you're cannoning greens and you know how to position them to avoid damage. Don't bother with blue's unless you're safespotting them and your range level is high enough (again, handy to know your stats).

Whats the rush for buying a new thing? If you don't hardcore really want any of those three items just save the tokens for recharges? Or on the high off chance that jagex adds new rewards later you'll have a nice stash to buy them with.

I like to hang out in the help and advice forums here at TIF and answer any questions that people have. I try to refrain from answering if i genuinely don't know the answer or if I know that there's another poster who has more knowledge about it than me *looks at Quyneax, Grimy Bunyip* who post there often as well. What I've noticed though is that despite some legitimate questions being asked there are always the commonly asked "Is Rapier really better than CLS?" "Whats the lowest gp/exp for herby right now?" or my personal favorite "How does I get moar geepee's?" My point is that often questions such as these literally could have been answered by the posters doing their own research faster than it took them to type up their post. So have we who lurk in the H&A section of these forums been conditioning people to be lazy and expect us to do their work for them? Or is it more that they wouldn't know where to research the answer their own questions?

90% sure you can't smoke the traps to remove your scent so scentless pots aren't worth using? Zamorak favours potions are worth using for the exp boost. Also since you should be catching commons at the same time you might as well use the withered vines to bait the traps with as they are worthless for anything else. Theres a guide listed here that shows how 250 k exp/hr is possible. I haven't tested it though as I was 99 hunter before this came out...
