I am saving up for 86 prayer right now, which is going to cost me 65m. But I am having doubts whether if it's really worth it to spend such a big amount of money on one skill. I want to have 86 Prayer so I can mage a lot more effective in PvP by leeching their special attack energy and such... but maybe I'll go for 99 Ranged instead. What do you think?

About the refreezing turns... You can shoot 5 times with a rune crossbow on rapid. But during the fifth attack, entangle will wear off but you will still have enough time to turn after the fifth attack. You can refreeze after the fifth attack. Same thing with ice barrage, the freezing effect wears off during the sixth attack. You can cast 4 spells after you've cast entangle, and 6 spells after you've frozen your target with ice barrage.

Nothing changed at the Wildy castle. We still can't enter it.

Yeah longbows on longrange can reach the max too. Rune crossbows on longrange can reach 9 square distance, so that's 1 square short of being the max.

That's the reward for completing 300 quests? Wow, lame. It doesn't even give any stats. I'm disappointed. Last week was a no update week... we haven't had a big update in weeks.

That's it for this week? A low level dungeon and a low level F2P quest? :mellow: I wonder if the 300QP item will be any good.

Hey I want to level my Hunter up by 20 levels but I have no idea what the best xp is. Red salamanders? I don't really care about profit. I care about powerleveling it. :thumbup:

Yeah it sucks that double casting no longer works... but magic still has the most DPS and can't be killed by any meleer if you use leech prayers and a SoL.

So now we have to try to make our opponents eat their inventory of sharks/rocktails ASAP before they get a chance to escape. And this is not the case right now, our damage is still too low. I did some testing with a friend about this and in level 15 Wilderniss, wearing black dragonhide, I managed to run all the way back to the edge using only 6 monkfish! Monkfish! My friend was using leech energy and leech magic on me to prevent me from running but I still managed to get away!

Jagex nerfed double casting: a magician's only way of K0ing a person. Double casting is casting a slow spell, like Ice blitz, Smoke Barrage, Ice Barrage or Miasmic Barrage, followed up by an instant spell like Shadow Barrage or Blood Barrage. It was possible to hit 75+ although the chances of hitting it were very rare. On average it dealt around 32 damage. And for those that still have no idea what I am talking about... But this no longer works! Ice Blitz is much faster, and all spells now have the same speed. Now it's even harder to kill a person in a BH/PvP world. Sure, our hits have improved the past few months and our DPS is very good, but we're still way behind in terms of dealing high damage. Meleers can hit high 450s and rangers can deal 600+ with echanted bolts, but Magic maxes at 410 with Ice Barrage. I'm a bit upset about this. It's a punch in the face for people like me and Warrior5024.

Huh? So Ice Blitz is no longer a delayed-damage spell? Oh well I can still double cast with 2 barrage spells, so I'm fine. Sucks for rushers I guess.

Jw,, how do you know this? The castle seen in A Tail of two Cats can be seen north-west of the first room in Pyramid Plunder. You'll need to use your orb of oculus to see it though. The new "castle" (I call it ruins) doesn't look similiar to the castle being shown in A Tail of two Cats at all.

The new castle is not the castle from the cutscene in A Tail of two Cats. That castle can be found north-west of Pyramid Plunder.

Wolpertinger attacks with magic attacks (even though it looks like melee attacks) so it's very accurate on meleers. It hits 20+ pretty common.

Congratulations ;) I read your topic quite often. I just never really bothered to post haha. Have fun in the 1k total world.

Can't go in HD because the game no longer loads...

My game won't load anymore either...

I'll take a look too once I can load runescape again... the game won't load anymore since this new update.

Get the orb of oculus!

I would like to see you get any kills like that. Guaranteed if you are using brews, SoL, steel titan, casting miasmic and shadow spells, ice barraging and using soul split, no one will stick around to fight you. No one is forced to fight you. I like how you put so much requirements for a mage to own. You even listed conflicting criteria ... Now I am not trying to undermine magic here, because mages are extremely powerful. But if I ever fight anyone with a ESS, zuriels staff, a steel titan, soul split and staff of light ... I am not going to be sticking around to just waste my food and time. I was just pointing out the items you could use as a mage. All you really need is shadow barrage, ice barrage and rocktails + saradomin brews. And maybe a phoenix necklace. Freeze > cast 6 ice barrages > by now your opponent can move again, so run in the opposite direction for a few seconds > refreeze. And if a barrage spell splashes and they start running towards to you with claws or something, just start rocktail brewing ASAP and equip your phoenix necklace. The only downside to this is is that meleers will just run away like you said, because they realize after a while that they can barely make a scratch on the mage. Magic for the win :thumbsup:

Magic is not a secondary form of combat... I hate it when people say that. Magic is, like it or not, a secondary form of combat. That's just what happens when magic is vastly inferior to melee and range. Barring quests, I can't remember the last time I've ever used magical attacks without bringing a melee or range weapon along... Magic is not a secondary forum of combat. It can PvE/PvP fine on it's own. You just don't know how to properly mage. Magic is not a secondary form of combat... I hate it when people say that. Magic is, like it or not, a secondary form of combat. That's just what happens when magic is vastly inferior to melee and range. Barring quests, I can't remember the last time I've ever used magical attacks without bringing a melee or range weapon along... then again, you mostly PvE and not PvP. if you clan warred or castle warred often, you would find plenty of capable mages. mage IS pretty powerful as long as you know when and how to tank. mage's main weakness isn't power, it's defense. magic is the most accurate form of combat; in terms of DPS against players i think it far outdamages even melee, assuming your opponent isn't in full karil/arma You're wrong on the defensive part. A meleer can't ko a mage who is using a SoL, +300 slash defence, a super defence potion/steel titan, rocktail/saradomin brew combination. And if you're debuffed with shadow spells and/or Ahrim's set effect your chances of koing a mage have been lowered to 0%. And how are you going to attack a mage when you're in an ice cube for 80% of the time. Hell throw in an elysian, miasmic barrage, soul split and such and you're pretty much invincible... Yeah, but put that mage against a melee one on one, watch the melee put on dhide and tear up the mage. Mage's accuracy is also terribly dependent on the opponent's armour Magic rips through black dragonhide like butter. You'll need armadyl to withstand spells.

F2P doesn't need any better armor. It's hard enough to hit through rune with a rune weapon already.

I hope we'll be able to use combat familiars outside of multi-zones and an increase in accurancy against players.

There is no new quest.
