93 hits, 96 defence, 87 range, 71 prayer, 79 summoning. Would I be able to solo effectively (2-3 kills)? Also, what gear? Any help is greatly appreciated.

To my knowlege they do not, but Iv'e only killed 500-700 of them (very rough estimate) so I don't know for sure.

whome?

Got one not too long ago at KBD with my clan. Best 11k I ever made. I just really hate that I didn't take a screenie =[

So it was better because you managed to get lost and quit for 6 months? Jagex doesn't want people that quit, they want people that stay with the game so that they can generate more revenue, which in turn is profit for the company and more new features for us. The G.E. didn't kill Runescape. It made everything a lot more convenient, meaning that having an actual player economy with somewhat definite prices was much more possible than before, and you didn't have to stand around for an hour trying to sell your 300k coal ores from grinding mining. And it doesn't cut out all non-combat skills - there are still people that have to fish the fish, those that have to cook it, and those who buy the bones and hides for xp. And they removed a great deal of the warnings, and the ones that are there are there for a reason. Mostly so that you don't end up unprepared, as in going into the desert and expecting to survive with full Bandos and no waterskins. And there are people who complain about every little thing, but those people are in far fewer number than the content people. It just so happens that discontented people seem to be more vocal. And if you don't remember any complaints from the "old" Runescape, you obviously never went on the "old" RSOF. It was better because I was compelled to come back, to have a challenge of conquering those chickens =p I do find the G.E. more comventient, but I just find very few people skill except for those who want 99 in that skill. Some of the warnings were nice, but they did get out of hand. I also did not notice that they had lessened the amount of them, as I tunred them all off. And no, I never did go to the "old" ROSF, because I didn't know they existed (I used to be an ignorant little boy). The complaints I refer to are the ones i experience in game. Back in the day, people didn't complain as much in game after an update as they do now. Ex. I logged in after the release of the new hp bars, said I liked the way they looked and got smacked back with half a dozen "u noob, they r gey. u r gey for liekin thm. noobs." To my memory, people didn't react like this in '05.

Two of my favorite features are the abiltiy to ignore players and to place public chat on friends. This way, I dont have to deal with the idiots. It's almost as if no one has any common sense anymore.

I have to say, the game did use to be much better. Back when I first started, I wandered from Lumbrige up towards Varrock and down through the mines into Al Kharid. I got lost and stopped playing for a few months. (I was in 6th grade, gimme a break) That summer I managed to work my way out of the desert town and get some real game time in. Five years later, I'm still playing, and have seen the game get progressively worse. There are so many things now that have made RS make itself extinct, namely the G.E. I remember when it came out. I found it extremely convenient to buy and sell items, and I loved it for that. What I have come to dislike about the Grand Exchange, is it cuts out the need for a large majority of player to not skill. Back in the day, I used to fish and cook my own food, kill green dragons, bury the bones, and craft the hides. Now, people buy the food, sell the hides and bones for a profit, cutting out all non-combat skills entirely. It seems to me the only reason people skill anymore is to get skillcapes, with the exception of a few who enjoy select skills. (I for one find fishing enjoyable, as I spent a good 1/5 of my time back in the pre-G.E. times fishing lobsters.) Certain aspects have been made better, I find boss hunting better now, though skills have been left in the dust. Do I fish my own food now, no, but that's because there are other goals I have set, other things I find more enjoyable, amidst JaGex's screwups. Things were better back in the day, but things today aren't as bad as people make them out to be. Edit~ All of JaGex's warnigs remind me of WIndows Vista; you can't do anything without being asked or warned about the action you are going to make half a dozen times. Also, people complain too much about anything they don't absolutely love in RS. I don't think I've complained about any update, except the pvp updates (76k'ing ftl) whilst people complain about the new hp bars, introduction of extreme potions, release of Aquanites, etc. The only complaints I remember from "old" RS is the removal of the wilderness, and that doesn't really qualify as "old" RS to me, anyways.

The G.E. is updated at random intervals so the next update cannot be precisely predicted.

Ah yes, Leaf-Bladed Sword, thanks. Just cuz you can buy a dspear doesn't mean you should use them. Whip probably is better, and I know that LBS is better. Thanks a bunch, guys.

Dspear, lol. That thing probably sucks soo much. I bet that whip is better. Anyone know if it is?

Right, well, my clan, The British Legion, is finally considering putting Corporeal Beast onto our event calendar. Some of our members are rather poor, and most likely would not be able to buy the necessary Zamorakian Spear. The obvious answer is to range, but if they desire not to, what are some other decent melee weapons to use? Thanks in advance. ~yuusuke-u

wow, i hope they are making a new TzHaar quest. I likes them.

CS is generally better, as you don't have to spend time raising LSP, but at hte same time, if you get a hilt with LS.... but what are the chances of that?

http://forum.tip.it/topic/185420-kents-guide-to-summoning-mastery-bork/ Inuashakent's guide to summoning. Incluedes the best monsters to kill for charms.

For ZMI, the xp and profit/loss is hard to determine, as it is always varying, but the best way to bank is with the bank at ZMI using fire runes. Honestly, with the (somewhat not really) recent run energy updates, terrorbird is not needed. An abyssal familiar is better for the extra pure essence per run.

Waterfiends are best economical way, so you should consider them. If not, try bursting rock lobsters if you have some money to burn/want some mage xp aswell. Other good ways are: Abyssal Demons, Black Demons, KBD, Dust Devil, and Slayer, if it's your kind of thing. (Not best in that order by the way)

The problem is not the 76k'ers, its the system. JaGex needs toremove the system and wait to implement a new one until they have found one that works well and does not have the major problems this one has. But, knowing JaGex, this new system won't be created and released for another year or so. And of course the pk'ers will maon, but they need to suck it up and stop causing so much harm to this game, just look at what they did to the best update this year, the herblore update.

I'm with you man, I got no idea =S

Lol, finally a response -.- Yeah, that is what I decided on doing. Still got 1.6k steel bars to make.

Yeah, you're gonna get yak'ed. Kniving yaks is the fastest, minimalist (if that's a word) way to train range I know of. Also, as Gilformen said, aves for cash for chinning. So... yeah.

I'm currently doing steel bars, but it leaves much to be decided. Stats: 55 attack 60 strength 59 defence 26 range 34 prayer 30 mage 58 hitpoints 39 mining 42 smithing 13 fishing 54 woodcutting I was thinking of killing roach workers/soldiers. Also considering getting 60 wc and cutting yews. Any input qould be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, never realized it had so many uses, lol. You can only have one of them at a time though, right?

I made profit when I bolted them, but I didn't do it for very long and managed to get a skirt, med helm, and visage, so..... I don't know if you will profit without these items.

Yeah, I was typing when you posted it. Enjoy questing. I'm off to watch Mythbusters XD

Ah, i believe, I'm not logged on atm so I'm not entirely sure, that there is a check-box thingie (idk what to call it) that changes if quests you do not have the requirements for are visible or not.
