Infinity looks cooler and is a lot harder to get, hence the huge price difference. I don't really see any discussion value.
Price vs Stats
Priorities for different uses
Looks
General awesomeness
Plus many more. All things that could be discussed.
I always use a farseer. If i need attack bonus more than magic bonus, i use my warrior ring/helm. Generally, i don't like to spend much, especially since i do a fair amount of PKing.

Don't flaunt expensive gear, don't draw attention to yourself, and if it fails, teleport. Ignore nuisance. 100% flawless plan.
TELEPORT? You want me to teleport because someone doesn't understand "Could you please leave me alone?" :x
Yes.

If you are fast enough you can get the monkfish people. I find a lot of them are bots surprisingly.

I started playing around 6 -7 years ago... It is strange to think of RS without even a dragon scimitar now =/ I guess i was too low of a level to even have that concern me at the time though.

I would like to see the Bandos book to have a +5 strength bonus. It would be a nice bonus for pures and would be useful if you run out of rune defenders from time to time :D And it would give some value to the pages, boosting level 1 clue reward values a bit :D

You could send a packet flood to the game server which would slow their connection down. This would also get you the FBI on your doorstep.
I find it hard to believe that, as stated in your avatar, you are a java programmer. Generally anyone with any slightly extended knowledge of computers would know that:
a) A single packet flood wouldn't even slow down a single person's connection, let alone a server.
b) The FBI would give a crap about a harmless and pointless packet flood.
c) You don't realise that any affect on the server would also affect the person causing the lag equally as much.
---No flaming beyond this point---
OT: Any bots that kill things may pick up drops, for example, feathers at chickens. Just drop any you get in a trail to some random place and it is sure to screw it up. I hate those chicken bots >.> they are fast so it screws me over if i make a new pure ;-;

This is legit. Stop being paranoid :)

If people claim that crashers stop them making cash, they are idiots. You can make more money doing Barrows than GWD with any luck. Considering the huge amount of effort required to find a world, not get crashed, set up and generally be arsed to do it, IMO Barrows is the superior option.
Also, i crash people 138 for a kill at a time heh. Especially at KBD, no anti fires, nothing. A tiny bit of food, 2 venges and claws. I have had a few decent drops from doing so, and i am doing the same at CT bronzes at the moment.
I don't mean to sound brutal, but people on Runescape need to grow some balls. Not everyone is as nice as people would like to think, so just deal with it and move on.

Hi,
i have been seeing a lot of people posting about how the stats of the new gear is bad, badly thought out etc..
TT rewards have never had amazing stats, they are 95% looks and 4% rarity. If you expected stats from them, IMO you should have considered other TT rewards and the stats they provided.
What do you guys think? Should the items given have better stats than those given in other clues?
-
This is why we love OpenGL <3
-
So crap. I would have expected some newer rewards =/ At the moment it seems like it seems like they are just slightly modified versions of the level 3 clues, which are a hell of a lot easier to get.
-
It annoys me that people get offended by the fact that people ask them questions. I'm sure you have never asked a question, or not known an acronym. So why [bleep] and moan when some people have the same problem?
It might get annoying sometimes, seeing the same questions over and over, but it is no reason to call them stupid.

It is a hell of a lot easier to kill the bosses for people like you, with near maxed or maxed combat stats. For people that are lower levels, they may not be as familiar and need time to get ready for the next kill.
If you can't wait a minute then you have some serious patience issues.

I often wear obscure outfits and follow people endlessly, without saying a word, just for lulz. People always rage, and will often go out of their way just to lure you to some vicious monster/try to lose you by going up and down stairs.
If Jagex ever removed following, i would end them.

Games come with jackass 12-year-olds, regardless of what mods the game has. Xbox live is AMAZING in terms of game quality, but you still get the whiny morons that are naturally attracted to anything that comes with the ability to communicate with people.
Just ignore them. I have to clean out my ignore list on a regular basis, and if i don't use it i almost always get muted for telling someone to harm themselves in some way. No matter how much you hate them, they are the dark, whiny, annoying, idiotic, ignorant clouds to your silver lining, and they will insist on calling you a poop nose until the day you:
A) Expire
B) Quit
C) Ignore them
-
Yes, i will :P Although those EPers are most likely not AFK and are extremely hard to kill (dragon spears, teletabs, rings of life, pheonix necklaces etc...).
The brass key room with the ladder leading to the hill giant cave. People go in there as there is a required item to access the area. It is best to dress as an EPers (dhide, dragon spear) and hop to a PVP world from a normal world. Once in the PVP world, sit underneath them and change into your gear. Pot up, pray and attack. It is best to team people in here as it is multi and allows you to both teleblock and freeze people effectively. The best ice spell to use is ice blitz as it is single target, therefore it won't freeze your team.
The small area south east of the Varrock east bank has a room containing the NPC Guidor (i think that is correct, tell me if am wrong). You require priest robes to enter the room. Unlike the brass key room, it is single combat. So it is best to teleblock and then entangle your target.
The mining guild to the south of Falador east bank is often used, as not many people go there. You don't require any stats to use the buildings surrounding the mining guild entrances.
Any rooms in Ardougne, Falador and Varrock will be used by EPers. Look up stairs in random houses an you are bound to find someone eventually.
That is all i know regarding PVP worlds. I don't suggest attempting to kill people EPing in PVP as they almost always teleport, dragon spear special you, ring of life teleport or have a lot of food to use. They are FAR harder to find and kill safely.

First kill that i remembered to screenshot. Got around 2.5m loot, excluding this kill, today.

Thanks for the comments, they are much appreciated :)
I will try and improve this over the next couple of days, giving more in-depth information on rushing techniques, adding tips to improve chances of getting loot and just generally make it a better guide.

The AIO Guide to Killing AFK EPers
(Soon to be in video form)
This guide will give you everything you need to be able to make a huge amount of cash from killing AFK EPers. If you think that you have bad PKing stats, or that you can't do it due to you not having good weapons etc... You are wrong. The minimum requirements for this guide are 25 magic, any weapon and at least 76k to risk. Obviously, with that you would do terribly, but the point is ANYONE can do it.
These are my stats:
As you can see, my only high combat stat is magic. Most PKers at my level have, at least, 95+ Strength, Attack or Range. Many have maxed stats apart form prayer and defence. Normally, i struggle to compete, but with the methods i use i don't need good stats; just a half decent special attack and the ability to freeze people.
Killing EPers is often frowned upon by normal PKers, but don't feel bad. When in the wilderness, people should be aware of the risks. Attacking people in the wilderness shouldn't be frowned upon, so don't feel in any way bad for doing this. It is called Player vs Player, not Player vs Anyone who agrees to fight.
Before you read on, note that this requires a lot of patience. You may go for a long time without any luck, but hang tight. I went for 2 hours without a single EPer in sight, then the first one i see gives me a Statius Warhammer drop. It instantly sold on the GE for 8.2m, that is 4.1m per hour, very worth the wait. You may get crappy loot, you may get amazing loot... Just remember, profit is profit. Any amount of money made is a step in the right direction.

5. The Rewards
1. A Short Explanation
The main targets of this guide are known as Dart/Jav/Thrown Axe EPers. They gain EP (Earned Potential, this is said to improve your PVP drops) by risking something such as a yew seed. However, they wield a dart, javelin or thrown axe with auto-retaliate on. This means that when they are attacked, they throw the weapon and they no longer risk losing their yew seed.
Generally, this method is effective. But, there are ways around it. If they are hit by one of the following spells, they will not auto-retaliate, leaving them vulnerable to attacks:
-Bind
-Snare
-Entangle
-Ice Rush
-Ice Burst
-Ice Blitz
-Ice Barrage
These spells are what enable you to take advantage of these players that feel they are totally safe using, what i will refer to from here on in as, the "yew seed trick". As i said, it is often effective, which is a good thing. The more confidence these people have in this method, the more careless they will be. I would estimate that 3 in 5 people that i kill, that use this method, are either on a different window or not playing Runescape at all. This makes them perfect targets.
2. Gaining EP
If you want good loot, it helps a lot to have a high EP. You gain EP by being in the wilderness while risking 75k or more. There are a lot of methods for gaining EP, other than just sitting there, that provide a lower chance of you losing any large amounts of money. Although they might all seem amazing at first, a lot of them have huge flaws that put your cash at risk. This part of the guide will steer you away from them.
What NOT to do-
There are a lot of methods to EPing that provide low risk. These methods are the ones with flaws, so you should definitely avoid them at all costs.
The Yew Seed Trick
-This method, as previously explained, is said to remove risk when attacked. Also previously explained, it has the huge flaw of auto-retaliate being disabled by freezing spells. Avoid this method, as if you are frozen, there is a very high likelihood that you will die and lose your risk.
The Familiar Trick
-Despite being classified as bug abuse and no longer working, countless amounts of people continue to use and abuse this method. You put your risk into a beast of burden, then if you die the risk is dropped on the ground as if you dismiss the familiar, instead of the other player receiving loot. This doesn't work, and while it did you would get banned for using this method. Avoid it at all costs.
Ring of Life
-The ring of life occasionally works, but you will almost always be KO'd within a few hits, rendering it useless a majority of the time. Use this method if you are feeling lucky, otherwise, stay away from it.
How to EP Correctly-
This part of the guide shows you all of the highly effective methods to EPing. Most of these methods will give you a 100% chance of safety if used correctly.
[100% Safety] Ring of Recoil
-I feel that this is by far the most overlooked method of gaining EP. It provides 100% safety of your cash. It is simple to do, however it is somewhat tricky to prepare. You must drain a ring of recoil until it can deal around 50 more damage. You should then grab a yew seed, or any item that is worth over 75k and has a lower alching price than the ring of recoil, and head to any BH+1 world. When you are attacked, the ring of recoil will shatter, saving your risk item. This means that it is near impossible to lose your cash.
[Recommended] Monkfish/Shark Eating
-Once again, an amazingly effective method. You hold your risk item along with a shark or monkfish, if you are attacked you eat your food. After eating, you will no longer be risking your valuable item. It is a huge advantage to turn sounds on for this, allowing you to hear when you are attacked. Doing this means you don't need to sit intently, you can do other stuff while you EP. You should always be ready, as it doesn't take long to get taken down by a claw rusher.
Junk Risking
-This is the method i use most often. Since i got 99 magic using the Hunter Kit spell, i had roughly 4.5m worth of Hunter Kits sitting in my bank. Every time i wanted to EP, i would grab a couple of thousand of them and sit in the wilderness. Even if i were to lose them, i would not be particularly bothered. Also, dying with risk can often improve your chances of getting decent loot in the future. This method doesn't require any concentration, as it is only junk. If you lose it, it makes no real difference to your bank worth.
How to Find EPers-
Finding EPers is easy. The most cost effective way is to simply stroll up and down the wilderness edge, looking for people that are similar to this:
You will only find them in BH+1 worlds.
Anyone with a throwing weapon, that once thrown is lost. If they are standing or resting without moving, generally they are gaining EP and carelessly risking. If they do happen to be resting, it is still worth an attempt. Anyone resting with no visible armour is almost definitely risking.
Once you find one, note their location and run away. If they happen to look at their screen and see a rusher, they may become aware that you are attempting to kill them.
How to Kill EPers-
EPers are by far the easiest kills you will ever get. They don't fight back and have no defence at all. So, this is what you will need...
-Your best combination between strength and magic bonuses, also prayer if possible, but do not sacrifice your other stats for it.
-Runes for the spells that were listed earlier on in the guide, the longer they freeze for the better
-A weapon that does a good amount of damage quickly, for example, Dragon Claws, Dragon Daggers, Granite Mauls etc... Which ever you can afford/use
-Super Strength and Super Attack Potions
-Prayer Potions (2 should be enough)
-Set your quick prayers up with your best melee boosting prayers and protect melee
-[Optional] Ring of Life
You shouldn't be worried about risking, as you will be in the wilderness for a very short amount of time. Even when you are in the wilderness, you will be protecting melee for the duration.
Once you have found an EPer, do the following in this order:
-Run out of their view
-Drink your potions
-Run towards them
-While running, turn on your quick prayers
-Cast the spell on them
-As fast as possible after casting the spell, use your special attacks on them and try to kill them as fast as possible.
Tip: When casting the spell, click it and then press F5. This will allow you to cast the spell and already be on the special attack tab. This makes it a lot easier to kill them in the shortest time you can.
Be relentless if you fail, add the EPer and follow them on the minimap. They are likely to return to the wilderness using the same method. Give it a few minutes, let them feel safe again, then go in for another kill.
You will fail. Everyone gets bad hits and splashes from time to time. Just make sure that if you splash, or they throw/drop their weapon, that you use as little special attack up as possible. One of the worst parts of doing this is finding an EPer and having 10% special. You have to be ready to kill as soon as you see them. Don't get angry or lose patience, as it doesn't get you anywhere. No matter how often you fail, a single kill can make you profit on 30 failed attempts.
The Rewards
I'm guessing a lot of you may have decided to scroll down to this part before you bothered to read the rest. So i will get right to the point.
Killing an EPer is as good as killing anyone in PVP. When i say this, i mean it. Youi can get the same amount of loot from someone risking a yew seed as you can from someone risking an arcane spirit shield. My personal best amount of loot is 8.8m, a statius warhammer with a few statuettes. I constantly get drops of value up to 1m, and generally they are no less than 200k.
If you have a good amount of EP, you can bet that you will almost always receive a respectable chunk from doing this.
You may get some crappy loot occasionally, take a look at this clip of me killing an EPer. I got 16k loot after 2 failed attempts:
I hope this guide helps you guys out, if you do happen to get lucky, make sure to post some loots :) Thanks.

Hi,
i have never had a thread dedicated to PVP loots before, but since i have been getting pretty lucky lately, i thought i might as well.
A majority of my kills come from rushing AFK EPers... Criticise me all you like, yesterday i made 12m in PVP loots alone, it is good money and i enjoy it. I target the dart/javelin EPers, they are generally AFK or paying VERY little attention. My stats aren't the best for PKing, i am pretty balanced in stats (excluding my 99 Magic). Now that i have that out of the way, enjoy the pictures/videos that i will be posting.
Please note: I have not been screenshotting kills, but i will start recording/screenshotting loots and kills. So expect this thread to get a bit more interesting as it goes on.
This kill was somewhat annoying, i rushed him before but splashed (thanks, 99 Magic). Then when i finally got the guy, the loot was 16k and my hits were shameful -.-. I was most definitely mad, bro.
I will also post any target kills i get, which are not too common, but they never fail to please in terms of loot.
Thanks for reading.

I totally agree with this. I used to love Castle Wars, when there would be the worlds where a majority of players would go but it wasn't overflowing with every jackass on that particular world. Also, it gets unbelievably laggy. Why can Jagex not go back to how it was? When players would choose the worlds that they wanted to play on, and they would still gather on certain worlds for certain activities, but those activities weren't basically limited to those worlds.
On a somewhat related note, BH is terrible for lag. There are FAR less worlds than there should be, having 1200+ people crammed into the wilderness, mostly Edgeville, definitely does NOT make for suitable PKing conditions. If it were up to me, i would scratch BH worlds and simply have the wilderness as a BH zone. People would still favour world 18, 65 etc... But it would give people the option to PK on lower ping worlds, and not be forced to face the treacherous experience of lagging out every 15 seconds while on 10lp.

As always, i can't wait to see your progress! I love seeing new accounts develop, and i wish you the best of luck.
Protip: I highly suggest getting both 99 range and magic. With 99 magic, it will make anyone attempting to mage you far harder to do you any significant damage, and it will allow you to take advantage of vengeance, barrage, spellbook swap etc... On my main account, i rush EPers for a decent amount of cash, i veng, spell book swap, barrage and claw. It means that even if you take damage, they get dealt back with some and you can take advantage of all the spellbooks while pking.

Hi,
i was just PKing and got some pretty epic loot.
Usually, when i PK, i barely ever die. I rush AFK EPers, its great money and doesn't require any amazing stats (say what you want, AFK = rule break, fools get what's coming to them). I use a rol, as it is the most appropriate ring for what i do, so there is a very slim chance of me ever dying. When i do rush people, i tend to have at the very least 25% EP, generally more like 50%. When i PK with that, the best loot i get is generally 500k - 1.3m, and on the VERY rare occasions 3m or so.
Today, i died once (we need more BH worlds, they are far too laggy (exuses :P)) and just a few days ago i heard of DP (drop or death potential, i can't remember). When i heard of DP, i thought "might as well get something from the crap clogging up my bank", so i grabbed 4m worth of stuff that would never sell or that i could afford to lose and gave a few people kills. I guess after those two incidents, my DP must have been pretty high.
Today when i was PKing, i got my first kill with 25% EP, with a value of 1050k. For me, that is good loot for 25% EP. But the shocking thing came next. That kill used up 19% of my EP, leaving me with 6%. I was going to try and waste the last bit of EP before i went to get some more (i was also scouting EPers for someone). I saw someone i could kill, so i potted up and went for it. After picking up my loot and getting back to the wildy edge, i realised i had been pretty lucky. While valuing, i got 8.8m in loot (a stat war hammer that sold for max and a few statuettes).
This made me think, what is the more significant decider when your loot is dropped? EP (Earned Potential) or DP (Death/Drop Potential). The player called Tip It (check out his PVP videos on YouTube for the recorded loots) originally told me about DP and claimed that he gets far better loot on 0% EP than when he has higher EP. His videos prove that he was telling the truth, he gets great loot at very low EP (0 - 10%).
In your experience, what do you find has a bigger affect on your loot? DP or EP?
Look forward to your posts :D
