Has anyone else seen this? :o

Don't give up. Think about everything you gain from them: -- 2.5M/hr profit -- ~30 blues a trip + ~15 crims. my personal record was 51 blues, and i only used 2 uni's. -- better reaction ability to prayer switch -- easy to start, end, prepare for a trip I wasted probably 100 hours getting all the reqs for them. but i think they're definitely worth it. i've made 130M from them and went from 79 to 92 summoning thanks to the xp weekend and the charms i had banked from td's. My problem is I can't stay nearly long enough. On most trips I last about 5-6 kills, yet I see people with my stats and equipment (sometimes worse) lasting up to 20 or 25 kills. The actual killing I find fun, they're kind of like mini-jads, but every time something goes wrong that causes me to lose more food than I should. It always just seems like a stroke of bad luck, but the fact that it's happened on twelve trips is making me think I must be doing something wrong :\ Yes, if something happens like that for 12 trips that just means your methodology is wrong. In the WORST case scenarios, where you have more than 2 TD's on you, the best solution is always to LOG OUT and redo the lure. This will save you tons of food. You should almost NEVER have 3 TD's attacking you simultaneously (some exceptions). If 3 attack you for more than 5 seconds, youre doing something wrong. Make sure you're in the right luring spots. The best luring spot is the northeast one, if you're just learning to lure. If you use the middle north one, it's easy to get attacked by the other TD's if you didn't pre-lure them. Best is to start out luring at NE and then once you have an intution of which TD's should go where, should you use the middle north one. Technically, middle north is faster since you can do two spawns, but for simplicity's sake I always do NE. To unspam: Here's my TD log. I use 2 uni pouches for each trip, but only use about 20 minutes of the second uni. I bring 10 potss per trip (sometimes only 5 if I don't have that much time). Most of this log was when I didn't have extremes, and I don't have turmoil. I use rune cbow with broad bolts and BGS. I've recently switched to whip after getting extremes. The rate is about the same. Note that trips are significantly (20%-50%) longer with soul wars cape. The real kills per trip limitation is prayer. One IMPORTANT thing people forget that kills per trip isn't always important. In the case of TD's, the overhead time (banking, preparing) is very minimal - I can get ready within 3 minutes. The speed of the kills is important. The trips where I get low amounts of kills reflect where I only bring 5 prayer pots, and say, 5 spec restores. These speed up my kills. Also, I end a lot of my trips early because friends call me to hang out in the middle of them / people come and bother me etc. My empirical droprate is roughly 1/270. Given the ~1000 kill sample size, I should say it's fairly accurate. What is that number between the trip # and the drop? Ex, 700... All I know is that drop rate is BS. Currently I'm on a drop rate of about 1/1300 after about 4k tds, probably due for my 3rd pair soon so I estimated as if I've gotten 3 pairs... too bad I'm probably not because I get so bored at tds now because of the lack of drops. It's literally put me to sleep at about 11 pm. My log of 324 TD solos. =/ Claws ever 81 kills it says. I suppose everyone's drop rate just varies a great deal?

I feel for that guy.

Not dropped at all, I think. OT: I just stuff mine in the ge and I usually get some gp for em, fine by me. :smile: pretty sure i got a rune thrown axe drop from dks the other day, unless i just dropped mine and looked at it again (lol..) Dagannoth Supreme drops 7-9 Rune Thrownaxe on occasion.

power train to 99 att/str/def in like 5 days and then get 95 herb and come corp w/ me plz How would you go about gaining like 10m xp in 5 days? o_o Btw, you're like my TD idol. :lol:

Didn't see that one coming. Oh well, free dfs I suppose.

Aren't Guthix, Saradomin and Zamorak considered gods? >.>

2nd solo. Kill #131 EDIT: What would the money best be spent on? Herblore or Prayer?

118th TD kill. 1st lump. :D

I'm sorry, since when was it against the rules to AFK? :unsure: And if it is, can you please give me a source? :P

Is it really worth burning 400 points to auto-kill gargs? :mellow:

Am I the only one who is more "moved" by the fire cape alternative than the HP update? *Shrug* The HP update was kinda mediocre. But I see where Jagex is trying to go with this. Hopefully they'll be continuing with the process of re-balancing the combat triangle. :thumbup:

LoL agreed i logged on looking at my hp and being like "wtf?" then i read this update about how hitting high is cool and how they go and rename a skill and try to make it less confusing which inturns only makes it more confusing because your used to the other way. Be prepared for more skill name c hanges i guess.

Nice cc name.

I thought we were allowed to post big images since the forum auto-resized them? :o (without hide tags, I mean)

:rolleyes: Do people not realize that they're begging to be ban-hammered?

lolwut. There will be more staffs now that Duradel has a rare chance of assigning ice wyrms. Wouldn't most people with 93 slayer use Kuradal anyways? :???:

Would be helpful if you threw in some stats. :wink:

First of all, it hasn't been proven that global warming is all a fraud. The very proposition is absurd. Sure, there have been some mistakes along the way, but mistakes are weeded out and corrected. This is the nature of science. In over 200 years of research, every single bit of evidence we have in the biological, geological and paleontological sciences supports evolution. But you might argue that dispite all this, in science we can't ever know things with 100% absolute certainty. This is true, but would you stop taking antibiotics because of the possibility that microbiology is wrong? Of course not. There's so much evidence supporting the fact that antibiotics work, so people accept that they do and move on with their lives. It's only when science contradicts creation myths and other religious dogma that people question it. Why not just look at the evidence - the real facts that we know and judge for yourself whether they support evolution? Just flat out claiming that scientists are wrong wont get you far. The whole theory of evolution and spontaneous generation is laughable. That is all. :D

Got a duo split last night. I think I might take up TDs. :D

27th ever TD kill. :D

So Divine Spirit Shield + Staff of Light spec = 80% resistance to melee?

That's just not fair? :mellow:

Might just get 99. :o
