The Agility update. It definitely persuaded me this skill isn't entirely useless, though I admit the training is still a bit boring. :mellow:

You can't use any boosts for Within the Light's skill requirements. Sorry.

He is Duradel's replacement after the player has completed While Guthix Sleeps, when Duradel goes on vacation to the land of Pickaxe handles. He's basically Duradel with a different name and outfit.

492/496 Will hopefully go down when I sit down and decide what I'll never need. I'm just sort of convinced that I'll need to keep certain things for quest lines in case they get continued. :unsure:

Vargas died twice before I finally got frustrated. I just loaded a pack yak and did the rest of the quest with it. Though I somehow forgot Earth runes for the mother and made a quick bank, the rest was quite easy. I'm just holding off on the reward for a while because I'd rather get Summoning xp than Prayer. :mellow:

It does go away, just after a certain amount of time. I changed my name and then changed it back, and it was around 28 days after I changed back to the original name that the little symbol went away. I think it'll be a longer period if you intend to keep your changed name.

I don't want to spoil it, all I'll say is you're not even close to the requirement, sorry. :sad:

Anyone remember that Postbag where Shanty Claws was sailing around the world? Could he have returned for more fun? Otherwise, looks like no fairy update yet... :mellow:

Excellent update! Now if only they could fix the 0's....

Woodcutting's definitely going to take a dive down the list in a while. Ivy basically hands you the cape now. :mellow:

Great update. The quest was by far one of the best in a long time, and that new fortress seems to hold quite a bit of potential for Metal dragon tasks. Any word on all of the levels of the building, and the possibility of a new Waterfiends area? I only stuck around long enough to do the quest so I can continue Bursting Rock Lobsters. The only disappointment is that they're pushing that font at us. Some things in Runescape simply need to stay the same, we'll let you mess with the interface, but please leave the font alone! :thumbdown:

Wait a while for the dump. This is without a doubt one of the most prepared-for updates, with people buying out bones way before the quest was released. Now it's just a matter of time for people to decide to dump off their stores. In reality, though the prayers appear awesome at first glance, the only people who'll most likely end up using them are hardcore Slayers or high-level PvPers, so D bones stand a good chance of going back to 2-3k in a while.

Looks good to me! Two more quests in the near future, and finally they hint at some guild updates! Now we can only wonder what guild gets a re-buff, or what skill gets a guild. :thumbsup:

Look at my Construction level, pretty much about that.

With Ivy, there's no reason to use SC hatchets when cutting for XP. The only time in which they are useful is if Woodcutting for profit (mages, yews). Otherwise, in the time it takes for you to get the Hatchet, you could've gotten more XP than the hatchet will provide at Ivy. That's what TheWeirdo is talking about. Did I clear that up enough? I can try again if necessary, just stick to Ivy and you'll be fine.

Sad that he thinks ruining items (at some times these clans ruin Farming as a skill too) is fair. He's riding a very fine line when he says that nobody in the clan loses anything, because everyone else in the game does.

Where was this argument when Herblore was released? Super sets were just as prevalent; why not take them out too? I fail to see the logic in this, it's just like any pure aims for an advantage. Next, they'll want Defence removed from the game because people complain they can't hit through it. :angry:

Definitely a good update in the long run. I think I might actually consider Herblore as worth the money, but it's not going to happen for a few months yet. For the next month or two all the ingredient prices are going to be so messed up it simply won't be worth it to train until things settle back down. Hopefully we get a Farm update to fill the whole "nothing-after-85" gap.

Just found it this evening. They've added "or curtsy" to the Barbarian Lighthouse Uri Emote: This could possibly mean other Bow emote clues have been edited also. I checked and the Tip.it Treasure Trail guide only lists Bow as in the clue.

The Abyssal familiars need to be re-worked. Move the Parasite down a few levels and let it hold 5 essence, the Lurker can stay at 7, and the Titan should be elevated to 9 with an extended timer (40 minutes plus). If I took the time to train Summoning that high to an Abyssal Titan, then I should be worthy of those kind of benefits, no matter the Runecrafting level. More familiars would be nice, a high level Gold Charm familiar (80+) that doesn't have an insanely expensive secondary ingredient would be nice. I don't like having 5k Gold charms in my bank just sitting there because there's nothing worth making for the time, XP, and cost. I don't expect jiggabils of xp/hr for a Gold charm, but as long as I'm using them and not losing out on insane amounts of money, I'd be fine with it.

Slayer. If you don't train it, you're going to lose out on a lot in the long run and most likely you'll kick yourself later on if you ignore it. :

I don't really play for money anymore. I Woodcutted for my first 10mil, and now my policy is to always keep that 10mil at all times. Anything excess is spendable, and it's really liked to hover around 45m lately. I have all of the equipment necessary for all Slayer tasks (Guthan's, Karil's, SS, ZS, and Whip/Defender), so I only buy things now that will aid that basic setup somewhat, and really that's just an SGS. Basically as long as you have all the equipment for intermediate skilling, there's no need for money worries. Nobody should have to camp Green Dragons for X amount of money, money's not what the game's about. :P

Yea, I gave up on Dragon Chains about 30 Dust Devils in. I've lost count of all of how many I've killed at this point but from 90-99 Defence on nothing but Dust Devils I have never received a Chain drop. On topic, some Runes or other drops on top of a Crimson charm get me kind of worked up at Abyssal demons. Sometimes you can never be sure if it's a whip or not until it's right-clicked. With, Gargoyles, every great once in a while I mistake a Steel 2h Sword for a Granite Maul. ;)
