If it was class based and I was restricted to one class forever, no I would not play this game. Being restricted to mage or range or melee without being able to switch back and forth would absolutely suck. You're suggestion about making new classes instead of skills would also draw a lot of people away from the game because instead of new content to be able to use when they please, they'd have to start a new account to use it.

Updated java and it doesn't seem to be crashing anymore.

I invite you to read through the previous pages of the thread and you'll see that this has nothing to do with the difficulty of Jad itself. I invite you to read the multiple posts saying that if you die to jad you have to work soooo hard to get back to him +1 People who say it takes 3 hours to get to jad and are 93 slayer really should be able to get through those waves in under an hour and a half. Still doesn't really matter though because it's still a decent amount of time spent to get back to jad if you lose.

That's not true? I just did a task of Tzharr last night and got my range damage bonus from the helm. +2 (+15%) more to my max hit using darts. Hexcest and Focus sight work in the exact same way a black mask does, in that any creature that is your slayer task it gives the bonus to. Abysal Demon, Waterfeind, Dark Beast, Green dragon, it dosen't matter. If it your task it should give damage and accuracy boosts. If it does not give the bonus then it should be reported as a bug. There is a bug with some of the magic max hits and the hexcrest, if that is what you are referring to? I think this is correct. The black mask adds bonus to melee while on a slayer task, Hexcrest gives whatever bonus to magic on slayer task, and Focus Sight gives bonus to ranging while on a slayer task. I'm starting to think that the hexcrest may just be bugged on quite a few monsters... Including the only one I really care about using it for: Rex

Overloads if 95 prayer is going to cost the same. Zaaps pretty much summed it up, soul split and turmoil are easily replaced by other things but overloads are much better then any other potion. Honestly I would have done it if I wasn't already 90 before curses were released.

So ya after learning the unfortunate news about the hexcrest and focus sights I decided I'd get rid of them for something more useful. Got a battle robe set for them so ya going to fist of guthix for a while.

Compromise is already out. Check the quote on the first post.

Well the compromise is decent I guess. It seems fair to have the fire cape make them slightly faster and easier to kill although it isn't required. Doesn't even affect me anyway just sharing my opinion. For anyone thinking this might affect Staff of Light prices, I highly doubt it will do anything due to the fact that a: I'm sure there isn't a large majority of 93 slayers without a fire cape anyway (with the exceptions of the ones with bad connection) and b: You still need 93 slayer and a task to kill them.. it's not like they're campable.

[hide] Just remember, the foucs+hex don't work against monsters assigned, which aren't slayer monsters. (Eg, they don't need a certain slayer level to kill.) Thus, it will boost vs abby demons, but not black dragons. Lame. jagex.... -.- they better fix that [/hide]Maybe they'll decide to fix it next update.... I hope it was just a mistake and not how they intended it to be.

It's ok I guess. Got this too. Too lazy to buy black mask cause I'm not gonna slay with it.

....

No speed difference.

6 hours sounds good but idk if I feel like playing 4 hours for the tokens to fix it each time. Especially since I'm going to have to pay pretty high to get it atm. If you want the robes themselves, you'll probably be best off trying to buy off the GE. Do it quick because prices are slowly rising. Of all the FoG items, battle robes actually had a pretty low GP/token ratio which why so few were put into the market. Now people are starting to catch on and the staff of light update made them even more famous. They're about 10m+ street value atm. It's going to be awfully hard to buy in ge.

If you're fast like 1.5k+ maybe I just had a friend come do it with me cause he wanted a dark bow or two lol.

That they like giving you head. Lol Go spend days and days at soul wars and make an army of abyssal demons in your house!

Smithing for sure. Because while thieving and smithing are both equally pretty much useless to have 99 in(pretty much not completely), smithing is soon to get an update that may make it very handy to be high level in.

EDIT: I'll pm you actually.

Not to mention if all you want to kill them for is the staff the only thing you have to do is farm wergali for 1-2 days.... That's how I got mine lol figured it would be faster then either: A: gathering about 60m cash and buying it with junk B: getting 93 slayer and a fire cape and hoping for a task

Why would 93 slayer be required for fire cape...like you said, Jad has been out for years, why change it now since many without 93 have already gotten their fire capes? Why would Fight Caves be a requirement for Slayer? Like you said, Jad has been out for years, why change it now since many without 93 havn't gotten their fire capes? What I don't understand is why people think it's not optional to kill ice strykwyrms for slayer. You can still train the skill without killing them..... Tbh it's just like having a quest requirement to kill a slayer monster (about half of them do...) only it requires actual skill to do meet this requirement. I don't have 93 slayer or a fire cape but if I was 93 slayer I honestly wouldn't care I'd either just get a fire cape or not kill them. Really the bottom line is: Fire cape is optional and so are the wyrms.

Ok I know how to update java but how do I update the graphics drivers?

The game is randomly starting to crash more and more often for some unknown reason. This is the message I get when it crashes: "This game has encountered a problem and cannot continue running. We strive for our games to work on as many computers as possible and to be free of bugs. If you are able to reproduce this problem (i.e. it always occurs when you do a certain thing), then please submit a bug report via our website, and we will try to fix it as soon as possible. If problems persist, please refer to the Technical FAQs, which can be found in the Customer Support section of our website." The first time it happened was the day of the last graphics update to standard detail which is leading me to believe it's a bug with it. I have not changed any settings while playing in game. I'm currently running on windows 7 using firefox. Can anyone help?

6 hours sounds good but idk if I feel like playing 4 hours for the tokens to fix it each time. Especially since I'm going to have to pay pretty high to get it atm.

About how many casts can you do before it degrades completely? Also any idea how long it takes to get 275 tokens?

It's pretty good. Not sure if it's better than COG or not because I'm only using earth surge but it definitely splashes a lot less. Not to mention a huge boost in xp. I'm pretty sure I'll stick with SOL instead of COG.
