Shhh! Don't let Jagex hear you. :lol: So what you're saying is that if, for example, fire esses had a hit rate of 80% while body esses only had 70% fires would give more consistent xp and would therefore be better for training on even though they don't give the highest xp/hit? Also, isn't RC level a factor in determining the hit/miss rate?

Congrats on 60 RC! :thumbsup: I can't wait to get in there and do some serious training myself. Personally, since I'm still doing solo floors, I simply craft a bunch of cosmics at the beginning of the floor and some more with any ess I find while going through. Then, once the boss is dead, I simply cast create gatestone over and over again. I can gain around 3k xp in a couple of minutes. It's not much, but it's fast and free and can really add up if you do it every floor.

Yes to both questions. There are individual gold and spiked ornament kits for each piece of dragon armor and they can be added and taken off at will. The kits are tradeable, but the decorated items aren't.

I got 35k xp/h with just Body esslings. They fixed nodes, now I'm getting 65k xp/h. :thumbsup: :shock: That's absolutely incredible. I don't think anything else in F2P is even close to that. Best. Update. Ever. :thumbsup:

Macroeconomics? Is that as dry and boring as it sounds? :P Nice stats. The reaper hood looks really good with the new armor. :thumbup: Good luck with your training. You should head over to the Wizard's Tower and check out RuneSpan. It's so much better for training RC than running back and forth to the altars.

I think you're right, the wearable items database is too large to implement this now. Billy, if you want to see how an item will look when worn you can always check the RuneScape Wiki.

80+ in all skills is very impressive. Well done. :thumbsup: How are you liking RuneSpan? Personally, I'm loving it. :grin:

Welcome back. :) You may not have heard, but they removed non-members from the hiscores shortly after the Bot Nuke last October. None of us are on the list anymore. I'm looking forward to reading about your observations of how the game has changed since you last played regularly. It certainly has changed, but I think overall it's been for the better. Good luck with your goals. I'm sorry for your recent loss. I lost my uncle to cancer three years ago and know how hard it can be on everyone.

And the gains just keep on coming. :thumbup: What do you think of RuneSpan? I think it's great. So much better than running back and forth to the altars. Rock on brother! :thumbsup:

Welcome back. :) Were you able to recover the account, or did you have to start a new one?

That could be. Maybe the intention was to make people choose between good node xp for a bit and the xp/dust gains from the sphere (which I'm assuming are better, I haven't done a sphere yet).

Still, bank-run-altar-rest-repeat ad infinitum for miniscule xp rates made chatting with your friends, clan or random folk pretty difficult. It's the same problem I have with Mining; do I chat and lose xp, or ignore my friends. That's because bots never have much to say. :lol:

So even without nodes, it still nearly tripled the old xp rates. That's a heckuva win in my book. :thumbsup:

I kinda feel like that's the point because (unless I've got my levels mixed) basically all the f2p stuff appears on the bottom floor and the middle floor stuff (esshounds etc) are all members. Basically making the point that you can kinda of try to use it for xp, even though half the stuff there is useless, the main purpose becoming LOOK AT THE SHINY MEMBERS THINGS! You saw them? Good now go pay for them, you know you want too! Body Esshounds are only on the 2nd level. They could at least have Fleshy Growths spawn near the body hounds. Still, RuneSpan has nearly tripled the xp/hr for F2P Runecrafting. :thumbsup:

^This. Right here. This is one of the biggest problems with training skills like RC (until yesterday, of course) and FM. It's not the grind so much as the isolation caused by the click heavy training methods. Personally, I'm looking forward to bonfires and I'm glad they chose to include F2P in this skill update as well. And a Cryptic Clue Fest for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Looks like it will be a good month. :thumbup:

Congrats! :thumbsup: Runespan is definitely the way to train RC now.

The xp rates seem to be all over the place, being dependent on node spawns and how many yellow wizards you help. Now that they've nerfed the node spawn rate, has anyone gotten the xp/hr off of just body esslings?

So you're not only draining undead souls but living ones as well? Runespan is turning us all into vampires! :lol:

It really does look good. I went through nearly 7k xp without even noticing. :thumbsup: This is going to drive the prices of runes through the roof, though. Time for people to decide if they want fast xp with no items afterwards, or slow xp with lots of profit. Edit: Is anyone else having trouble climbing up to the second level? I just get a "Loading 50%" message and then it locks up. I can't even log in anymore because it keeps trying to load that area and locking up. Edit 2: Took 5 tries, but I was finally able to log back in. :thumbsup:

The same thing happened to me as well. Does anyone know if the Wicked clothing items are available to F2P? Clicking on them in the shop just gives me a description and cost with no indication either way. Edit: Great, now I'm stuck. Everytime I try and log in, I just keep getting the "Loading 50%" box and then it locks up. The first time in forever I get to try a new update as soon as it's released and I get glitched. :lol:

Only if it gives xp rates higher than 12k/hr. Here's hoping. :pray:

Damn, that sucks. Glad to see you're not letting it stop you, though. :thumbsup:

I say get all 90's and then finish them off. Breaks up the monotony a bit. Congrats on 82 Agility. Go get dat Agile armor. <3:

Well then, welcome back! :grin:
