I did do the first thing :( He just got lucky on his switch timing =/

He did a trick, where if you accept, change something and accept quick enough you can make it so the "Other player has accepted." never disappears. Also, i accepted literally less than half a second after he did it, there was no window for me to see the change, no way in hell. That sucks. Personally, I've stayed away from the Duel Arena entirely because of all these bugs. No sense in risking my money when someone can pick it up so easily by cheating. Jagex needs to fix them. I don't think they should have released it so fast. If there are bugs, hold off on the release until it is safe.

Just been scammed out of 73m. Why? Jagex's staking system. Fantastic, you tell me when trades are modified. You even give me an extra warning that prevents me or them accepting quickly after making a change. How about staking? Naww thats unnecessary. The rules were 100% perfect. I was staring at the screen looking for any changes, nothing at all. He accepted, i continued to look for changed and accepted also. Started the duel, out comes his whip. There was no time for me to see the change, there was no mentioning of the difference on the second screen. Gf most my bank. [bleep] Jagex, [bleep] RS. I'm mad bro. Also, not my fault. Flaw in the game, if you think i'm to blame feel free to die.

What's stopping people using their ashes on their altars instead of bones? Exactly the same process, just cheaper xp (and only ~15% less xp) Nothing is stopping them, but it is lower experience. Also, the ability to use ashes at ecto may keep the prices similar to bones and make the experience cost pretty much the same.

Imo, the only positive to come of this update is the potential crash of dragon bones, and even that doesn't seem likely. They are selling for about 50gp less than they were prior to the update, and that is still over the market price. I would like to see them drop down to a reasonable price, anywhere in the region of 4.5k - 5k sounds good. Ashes also seem good, but only for people who don't have the stats for a gilded altar. I don't know what the exp/hr is like without having to grind bones on ecto, but i find it hard to believe it would be more than bones on gilded altars (considering you can do 24-26 without a familiar, and many more with per trip). You are limited to 14 ashes per inventory, and this only increases by half the capacity of a familiar for a 0 exp bonus when compared to dragon bones on gilded altars.

Been doing quite a bit of rev hunting, good idea :D Thanks

I don't really understand what's going on here... Flower game? Pretty much. I did it for a little bit yesterday and made about 500k. Salad managed to make 6m O_O Wow.

It takes about 120 hours longer to do big bones, and i'm pretty sure you could make the extra cash in that time. I'm currently going for 95 too. I'm holding out for the ashes update, in the hopes that prices crash enough so i can buy prayer easily.

I could probably set it up to do that, never thought about it :o Thanks for the idea :P Thanks Nikolai, but i am going to be getting my own hosting for this i think.

I can't work out whether this post is serious or not. Mostly due to the fact you seem to have never made a post of any kind of quality, yet try to criticise me at every point possible. If you're going to give criticism, make it constructive. Otherwise you just look like a bit of a penis.

Quit trollin fool, Sy was giving information that was right previously. He was trying to help, and was successful in doing so despite one small mistake. More than i can say for you. Thanks for the help everyone :)

Thanks for the replies. I worked out it would only be 347 less bandits on controlled. So, considering how it will be far easier for me and would better suite my playing style i'm going to do controlled until i'm maxed melee. Thanks everyone :D

Hi, So, my big question is whether controlled experience rates are better than using the different styles. I'm training all my combats to 99 through semi-afking bandits. I did one HUGE session while at a friends house. In 15 hours of training defence on defensive, i gained 750k total experience. I think that is pretty good rate for playing Xbox :P This is the total experience gain of both hitpoints and defence. With controlled so far i have been getting about 1.2k experience per minute, so in 15 hours that would be about 1080k experience. However, this is in attack, defence, strength and hitpoints combined. What i'm struggling to work out is whether it would be more effective to get 99 strength and attack followed by defence. Getting these stats would be faster, as i would use more efficient weapons. Also, i would do more damage when it comes down to 99 defence. So which would be better? Thanks. EDIT: Another factor which i forgot to mention was how AFKable the training would be. I despise grind, but with semi-AFKing (doing other things with my laptop next to me, simply keeping myself logged in) i find myself far more able to train for long periods of time. If the difference in time spent on controlled is roughly 30 hours, i would probably choose controlled.

Iirc, 18-20gp/xp. I could be very wrong, but i'm fairly sure that was where it was hanging last time i checked.

<3 you for that post. Excluding the last part, of course (which i feel is harsh). The reason for the short/simple nature of my videos is because i wanted to be able to produce guides at a good rate, a few times a week minimum was my goal. I definitely agree that they should have more substance, and do my video stats. My largest guide, which took quite a while to get exp rates for/record/edit, is the most viewed... By quite a lot. I want to keep the simple nature to the guides, but i don't want them to be lacking in detail or substance. I understand what you're saying with the money making guide part, and agree to a certain extent. However, i think 4m is pushing it. Thousands of people struggle to make 1m an hour, obviously with your stats you aren't likely to have this problem, but many lower levels do. I always try to make my guides on the higher end ways of training or making money, but i won't neglect my lower leveled viewers to do so. I feel i have gone into a good amount of detail in my guides when it comes to rates/hr, obviously you may disagree due to you being the master of efficiency. As you can see in my first post, i wasn't asking purely for guides, i was asking for CnC in general. How to improve the guides and the content of them. You're entitled to your opinion, but i'd appreciate it if you put it across in a more pleasant way <_< . I will probably start producing the more PvP based clips, as you described, once i have reached 95 prayer and maybe boosted my combat stats a bit. The same with the staking tips, really. At the moment i wouldn't consider myself a bad PKer, but my stats are definitely holding me back. So much free time because i dropped out of sixth form and am currently job hunting :P. There are only so many hours that can be spent filling in applications. Thanks for all the feedback, i really appreciate it. Expect my next video to be out within the next few days :)

how's soulsplit without turmoil working? (considering just getting SS and MHing to turmoil) unspam: Uploaded with ImageShack.us CLEANED NUB You seem to have forgotten the part where i stopped attacking you for 3 minutes as you hit many 0s on my dhide :D! unspam: Had to share this, purely because i'm awesome and enjoy teasing people who PK green dragon killers: I literally teled there half a second before... Epic win in my book.

I am actually very relieved to hear that. Over the past few months i haven't been doing much else other than PvP in general. I like to think that i have a decent amount of knowledge on it, and i have a few tactics that i would be happy to share :) (How quick am i to reply? So proud right now :D!)

Not a bad idea. However i think it would be more effective to simply refer them to a couple of websites for TV programmes and movies available for streaming. People have different tastes so i think it would be better for them to choose than me :P Thanks :) I always try to be as specific and original as possible. I give as much detail on the subject as i can, along with trying to make guides that have never before been released (i search beforehand on YouTube). I would do this, but i'm simply not the live commentary (or any commentary) type of guy. I feel like an arse recording it, and equally so once the video is up and the hate comments start rolling in because of my British accent :P Haters gon' hate, but i'd rather just avoid the hate to begin with. Perhaps if it is requested enough, but until i see it as a severe set back in the quality of my guides i will do without it. Next few guides i have planned: -How to Kill Green Dragons and Green Dragon PKers for GREAT Cash -How to Anti-Rush, low risk and high profit -High detail revenant killing guide Tell me what you think about these ideas. Just finished up recording for the green dragon video. It isn't just one of the hundreds of existing green dragon guides, it will show people how to kill PKers with practically 0 risk and very few limits based on combat level. For example, i have done around 5 trips to greens today. 0 kills sadly, but i have made countless numbers of people 10 - 13 combat levels higher than me teleport, died a few times and still managed to make a pretty decent profit. Sound good to you guys :S? Thanks to all, looking forward to more responses :P

My Dungeoneering level is 35. Lol, i'm not exactly a dungeoneering fan... So i guess that would be a no-go for me. @foursideking I always fancied making a guide on something like castle wars or the duel arena (probably even more desirable after the update). I might do some :P I'm not 100% on what you meant by your second suggestion, do you mean just general Runescape videos that people could watch while training skills? If so i think that is a really good idea. Thanks both of you :P

Hi, as some of you guys might already know, i have a Runescape YouTube channel that i used to upload guides to (http://www.youtube.com/guidesforscapers). I had it going well for a few weeks, and then i had a computer catastrophe which resulted in ALL of my video templates, graphics and ability to record Runescape videos going down the drain. I haven't made any Runescape guides in 7 months, but i am now planning on starting again. As with most Youtubers/guide makers, i need to know what you guys want to see from my videos. So, please both vote in the poll and post with more specific answers. Also, do you guys like the format of the videos? What could i do to make them of a higher standard (quality will now be 720p HD always, no white bars at the top/bottom). Thanks.

You'd think so, but i am yet to take my fair share of 94%.

It depresses me to think that dragon platelegs are nearing 10% of what they used to cost :(

Started yesterday with an 84m cash pile, got up to 106m by the end of the day through flipping/bot killing. Then my friend wanted me to restore his special for a 50/50 split :D Going to be flipping my way to 400m. Then it is turmoil and overloads time :)
