Definitely not

Primal maul has better stats than prom 2h. And a lot of DG monsters are weak to crush.

Exactly. I never understood why Jagex insisted on the obsolete rock paper scissors type of combat triangle, as opposed to Starcraft's three types of races-- all of which are completely different, but basically equal.

Why is it untradeable? Isnt ahrims new gear tradable?

Not sure what to buy w/ the discount... I've currently got: T1: Poison Purge Runic Accuracy Tracker T2: Greater Surefooted Greater Call of the Sea Jack of Trades Greater Reverence Vampyrism Penance T3: Wisdom I have 66,350 points left. Is Jagex going to be releasing any more auras in the future, or should I just use up all of my points now instead of saving them? Right now I'm looking at Aegis and Equilibrium, since I'm not really interested in the adrenaline-related auras. Are either of these worth it in EoC?

It fires all types of bolts (except for bolt racks). Just tested it. It's 2handed.

Did the kiln in 45 minutes today-- gradually getting faster. I used momentum the whole time too >_> (I hate using abilities) Penance aura is really OP right now-- didn't need to use a single dose of prayer potions, and I had soul split and turmoil/torment/anguish on practically the whole time. Basically effortless full hp/prayer :D Used 3 full void sets for damage/accuracy boosts. Used water surge w/ polypore, veracs flail, and black salamander. Would probably be slightly faster if I had chaotic staff, chaotic maul, and used my royal xbow, but I doubt it's worth it. Sold onyx for 3.75M, which is 400k less than the one I sold yesterday morning :\ Oh well, still a fun and consistent 5M/hr, not too shabby.

Spent about an hour in the kiln w/ a full set of veracs, karils, and akrisaes, plus veracs flail. Total cost for repairing 10 pieces of equipment after an hour of use was only 75k. It costs only 1M per 15 hours of combat... that's nothing

BTW now's the time to max out Temple Trekking. "Hard" followers seem to level up about twice as fast, and all monsters are weak to crush and get 1-hit (with a couple of exceptions). Doing hard paths are a cakewalk.

Lol I bought a bunch of off-hand dragon weapons from the Ape Atoll, Heroes Guild, and Zanaris right when EoC went live this morning, to sell for profit on the GE. They all sold instantly, and I was like, "Yes! Give me your money, suckers!" Then I realized that the shop price for most of the items was significantly higher than the GE price I sold for >_> This is why I generally avoid merchanting :oops:

No mentions of changes to the make-x system. Fffffffuuuuuu--

I really hope they make some serious changes to the shitty new make-x interface soon. Smithing platebodies is a real pain in the ass now-- can't use my yak to speed things up anymore because of it.

Don't forget Ak-Haranu (or whatever his name is)-- the bolt rack salesman on the Port Phasmatys docks. He was the first reference to the upcoming eastern lands back in the day.

I'll just copy and paste the notes I took on it when I first listened to it. If you want more details on my notes you'll just have to look around for that part of the video... I didn't take any notes on the "health habits" part because it wasn't anything I didn't already know/it was irrelevant to me. ------------- "it only takes about 21 days to develop a new habit" "successful people make a habit of doing what unsuccessful people won't do; successful people don't want to do things but do them anyways" there's lots of hard things that contain stress/potential failure/etc. but you do them because you wanna do the other things. by doing what you don't want to do, you create opportunities for what you do want to do -------------- FIRST DISCIPLINE: CLEAR THINKING decision solitude for 30-60 minutes when you have a major problem/issue in your life. write down every detail of a problem/situation-- how'd it happen, what's going on/problems/concerns/costs as you write, sometimes exactly the right choice pops out Aristotle: Wisdom = Experience + Reflection... ...go for a walk. no ipod. 30-60 minutes. just walk. ask a trusted friend to discuss it w/ you and give feedback/different perspective. what assumptions are you making about the situation that might not be correct? business assumption: not much of a market for your product. BE OPEN TO DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT ----------- SECOND DISCIPLINE: DAILY GOAL-SETTING Write goals with "I..." Write goals in present tense + action verb ex. "I can bench press double my bodyweight"; "I earn $10,000/mo" Every morning, you write down and rewrite your goals. ----------- THIRD DISCIPLINE: DAILY TIME MGMT Every minute spent in planning saves 10 minutes in execution If you don't plan, you're just reacting and wasting time. The night before, make a list of EVERYTHING you have to do the following day. This way you can process it while you sleep subconsciously. Before you do ANYTHING, the next day, WRITE IT DOWN. then PRIORITIZE it Writing things down before you begin gives you CONTROL. 20% of the items on your list will account for 80% of the value "A" TASK: ESSENTIAL; serious consequences if you don't do it "B" TASK: Something you SHOULD do, but mild consequences if you don't do it "C" TASK: Something that's NICE to do, with no consequences if you don't do it Never do a B task when you have an A task undone. Never do a C task when you have a B task undone. Do A1, then A2, then A3, then B1, B2, etc. START A1 TASK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AND CONCENTRATE ON IT 100% UNTIL COMPLETE ------------ FOURTH DISCIPLINE: COURAGE Force yourself to do what you know what you SHOULD do, especially in the area of courage. Aristotle wrote, "If you desire to have a quality that you don't already have, act in every instance where the quality is called for as if you already have it; and you will have it." Emerson, "do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain" If you're afraid of doing something, say aloud to yourself very strongly, "I can do it. I can do it." And then just do it! Exercise: identify 1 fear situation and use that as a challenge for developing your courage ------------ FIFTH DISCIPLINE: HEALTH HABITS ------------ SIXTH DISCIPLINE: REGULAR SAVING AND INVESTING Avoid all debt as you earn more money, save/invest more Develop the habit of saving 1% of your income If you make $2k/mo, save $20/mo Go down to the bank and make a financial freedom account. Put in $20 from the first paycheck you make that month, and discipline yourself to live off of the remaining 99% ($1980). Once you're comfortable with 1%, you increase it to 2%. Then 3%, etc until you've developed the habit of comfortably living on only 85-90% Change thinking from, "I enjoy spending" to "I enjoy saving" Investigate before you invest. 2/3 of all success in investing/business is avoiding making mistakes. #1 Rule: DON'T LOSE MONEY. Have "opportunity money" stored away ---------- SEVENTH DISCIPLINE: HARD WORK Most self-made millionaires work 60-70 hours per week, for 5-15 years before they break through WORK ALL THE TIME YOU WORK. WHEN YOU GO TO WORK, WORK! Start things one hour earlier, and get to work. If you start work at 8:30, get there at 7:30 and get to work Work through lunch; eat at your desk; eat quickly; eat on the go Work one hour later; be the last one to leave and turn the lights off If you work 3 extra hours: start earlier, work harder, stay later; you'll add 6 hours of productive work to your day. Every hour of uninterrupted work when nobody's there translates to 3 hours of productivity when people are around interrupting you What's the most valuable use of my time right now? Always tell yourself: Back to work! if there's something you could be doing. --------- EIGHTH DISCIPLINE: CONTINUOUS LEARNING If you want to earn more, you have to learn more Work at least as hard on yourself as you do on your work. Read in your field daily If you read 60 min/day in your field, that's 1 book/week. That's 50 books/year. If you read 50 books/year, that's the equivalent of earning a pHD in your field every single year. Listen to audiobooks in your car. The avg person drives 500-1000 hrs per year. That's the equivalent of 3-6 months of 40-hour weeks. That's the equivalent of 1-2 full time university semesters. Attend seminars. Take structured courses from experts. You can learn more in half a day from an expert than you can in years on your own. Just ONE NEW TECHNIQUE can skyrocket your income/etc The avg income increases ~3%/yr. By increasing knowledge/skill, you increase the RATE by which your income goes up If you increase your income by 10%/yr, you'll double your income in 7.2 years. If you increase your income by 25%/yr, you'll double your income in 2 years and 8 months... The more you learn, the more you earn. ----------- NINTH DISCIPLINE: PERSISTENCE The greatest test of self-discipline is when you persist in the face of adversity and drive yourself forward to complete your tasks 100% You get BETTER by persisting. You "level up" IRL. Every time you wanna give up, tell yourself it's a test. The person that you become by persisting or quitting is what matters. eventually you develop a habit of persistence 1. Habit of self-discipline guarantees your success 2. when you practice SD, you'll get more done faster 3. you'll be paid more and promoted faster 4. greater sense of self-control and self-reliance and personal power 5. key to self-esteem, self-respect, and personal pride 6. greater self-confidence and lower fear of failure and rejection 7. strength of character to persist over all obstacles until you achieve

I know how you feel, I've been there before. As I'm sure you've realized by now, your feelings don't respond well when you try to manually change/remove them. So you've just gotta accept the fact that you're going to feel bad for a while. Nothing wrong with that. That's life. The best solution is also the hardest. You're going to have to cut off all contact with her. Permanently. The longer you go without any sort of contact with her, the less affected by her you will become. The moment you succumb to your feelings and shoot her a text or anything along the lines of that, you will soon notice that your feelings will flare up again and you'll be back to square one-- regardless of how "carefree" towards her you had become. At this point, your mind has associated her presence with pleasure and hope. It takes a long time for those connections to die. If I were you, I would read this right now. After reading that, I would listen to this, and then get to work! Most people fall into your situation because they don't have much going on in their lives and so it's easy to get fixated on that "one girl." So you need to create something to take your mind off of her and give your life new purpose.

The Eastern Lands are going to be called Pandaria.

Go date other girls and forget about this one. Even if you got into a relationship with this girl, your feelings would sabotage the relationship very quickly. You already dug your own grave here:

Ah, the trimmed completionist cape: some say a waste of time, others say an incredible waste of time

Currently on vacation, visiting my parents for Thanksgiving... I bought a 45 lb plate from Wal-Mart so I won't get too out of shape on my vacation. Can't wait to return it for a full refund next week because "it doesn't work." :lol:

Hopefully it doesn't take over 5-10 hours to max out a weapon, considering they're always adding new and better gear which will also need to be "trained." I'd rather upgrade a weapon via crafting/smithing/fletching than using it for X hours in combat.

Are wave spells still stronger than surge spells or did they fix that?

91 in what skill(s)?

I remember being excited to see the major HD graphics update back in 2008. And then I was annoyed because from that point on, my laptop could no longer run RS w/o awful FPS/lag. Hope this update doesn't put the final nail in that coffin

I take it that in EOC, necrolord is no longer "weak" against mage attacks?

That'd be funny if, during that routine, every gymnast in the background is performing amazing record-breaking feats of strength and athleticism. And jumping through rings of fire and juggling scimitars and stuff. >_>
