I don't know why you guys are talking about the martingale system, staking was brought up asking if it was faster than merching for making cash for all 200ms. With this system you need a lot of cash to start with so you can double up repeatedly and you win very small each time. You only bet big when you are down on cash. Which means even if you're totally succesful, you could win every single stake but it would still be much slower than merching bearing in mind the cash stack you would have to work with. For staking to be faster cash than merching you wouldn't use that system you'd just have to bet big every time, with the 50/50 risk of losing. (and it is 50/50, assuming both are maxed, both using same weapon/boxing, both hit on first tick, and neither glitches/cheats. 'Skill' only comes in to play in stakers with unmaxed combat choosing who to stake). So no, staking is not more effective than merching, in fact it's not effective at all.

Theres a big difference between swearing in some situations ('oh [cabbage] I just died'), which wouldn't be reportable, and directing disgusting things at a person, which defineatly would. Just because the filter is togglable doesn't mean people can get away with saying anything they like. Previously the rules said that if something was blocked by the filter you shouldn't report it, mainly because if you did jagex would see stars in the evidence and wouldn't even know themselves what the person said. With this update it's more likely that if you report something that was starred out jagex will now know exactly what they said, so for example if they're saying horrible things about a persons race or whatever, it's definetly worth reporting even if it is starred out. I would rather turn the filter off so I know exactly what people are saying around me, I'm an adult and I can handle a few swear words lol, if used in a non malicious way. Anyone remember when 'damn' was censored? So if you saw 'oh ****' you didnt know if they were swearing or just saying something that was stupidly blocked, that's why I'll always have the filter off. 'urs' as in yours was another stupid one blocked for a long time. So what I'm saying is this can be a good and bad thing, depending on the maturity of the person.

I like being able to turn the filter off. I'm an adult, I don't like to feel like I'm playing a game designed around protecting 12 year olds from bad language. Doesn't mean I want to swear in every sentence, or that I wanna see tons of people spamming (f) words just cos they can, but it's good to know I can if I feel like it.

Its maybe 4m cash/h but not all is profit. Around 2.5-3m/h profit if meleeing 2m/h afk ranging :thumbup: Before free trade, yeah. Since free trade they've shot back up from 15k to 20k+ and 4m p/h profit is about right for melee. And I rarely get crashed there, I would imagine a 138 with overloads would be even less likely to be crashed. Also people forget there is more than 1 effective spot, everybody seems to go to south west.

yeah i was wondering what this is. If it's runetrack sigs i guess time to change sig lol

Subsequent misery? Who the hell cares if some spoiled kids are spending their pocket money on pixels, it hasn't affected my gameplay in the slightest.

No, imo the game got a lot better on the 1st of feb despite the problems the freedom is worth it. To me its the start of a new era and I don't see rs dying anytime soon. Like blade said people have been saying this for years, with almost every update someone crys that judgement day has arrived, why so pessemistic?

Awesome, I kinda want to go f2p and try this just for the lulz. Would be even better if there was a way to kill bots training in p2p, not sure where people will be botting now though. Mostly they used to be at green drags or fire giants in chaos tunnels but with wildy back I guess they aren't around anymore. Maybe at blue drags? You could make a trail of d bones and lure them to black demons :blink:

Awesome guide, now I'm mad I used all my brawlers making summer pies lol

A lot less people are killing green drags, Ive been pking at east drags and seen noone killing them when before the update there would be like 5+ people every world. And getting to the chaos tunnel ones means running through multi. And tons of people who were killing frost drags for money, have switched over to pking/staking/merching. So I don't think they're gonna stabilise anytime soon...

It's very easy to get past safing. With chaotic weapons, and claws, it's very easy to deal more damage than the person can heal. PKing is about knocking the other person out before he has a chance to eat his food or run away. It's not about making them use up all their food. No one my lvl has a dps high enough to just overwhelm anyone with any reasonable defense in gear constantly eating tails or brews. The rate of healing is always faster if they are continuously eating. I know for a fact that it's never happened to me yet, and the only ways i die are through veng combos or when i leave myself at low health to try and KO them and fail. The reason you wouldn't continuously eat is simply because you're not going to win the fight if you do and you're just wasting time and money doing so and you run out of food. Familiars would get rid of that problem and just make the costs of fights higher because people just bring more gear now. I just want to know why this happened. What possible reason was there to change the way summoning worked? What was wrong with the old way? Also, summoning isn't a combat skill anymore in the context of Pvp. Because it doesn't affect your CB lvl that determines who you fight, it might as well just be a non-cb skill now. Of course you can "see" it, but some of the same arguments for herblore still apply. It just isn't as broken as extremes/ovl would have been. Also i tried it out and my familiar kept stepping on my opponent, making the fights a lot more annoying cuz i had to keep right clicking. Noone who is 1v1ing in edge brings a bob, or any familiar for that matter for the same reason noone prays melee through the fight. Because noone will fight them = they get no kills. Fair 1v1 fighting in edge has informal rules, to make fights more fun and stop them just being a case of nobody ever dying. Sure I could bring a yak, 35 brews and 15 sup restores pray melee and eat at 90hp oops I mean 900lp, but if everyone did that noone would ever die and everyone would lose tons of money. Bobs will be mostly used in deep wild pking, where combat level doesn't matter much anyway. Hybrids/rushers in lower level wildy are more likely to use a wolper or uni. tl;dr it hasn't affected edge pking, all it's done has given rusher failbrids in edge a small advantage.

50m+ made since update just from wildy and a lil bit of flipping, feels good man. Might get into staking but my high summoning and prayer is a big disadvantage, almost every staker my level is maxed melee <_< Oh well won't be long til I smite out my first ags/claws.

This was kinda weird he was unskulled when I attacked him and I didn't notice him skull during the fight. Gotta love wildy :thumbsup:

It will take time, I'm sure the thought on most peoples mind when free trade came back wasn't 'woot! now i can run essence', but in time the lower levels looking for a quick buck will start to think of it. At the moment they're too busy swarming everyones kills in wildy like vultures hoping to snipe some loot. It's so annoying to get a kill and have 3 no itemers come dd on you when you're looting spamming 'leave the rune for me pl0x' :wall: #-o

People saying bots never left are half right, but the coming update has made a huge increase in the numbers, you just have to take a look at the pure ess mines to see that. Now that people can bot on throwaway accs and transfer the money without risking their mains it makes sense that more people will be tempted. Doesn't really bother me though tbh, they keep prices down and they don't harm me personally. I think it's worth it for free trade and wildy. And rumours are their will be a big mass ban when the update comes, which should put people off.

Nice to know that it can be done, but a laptop is a lot simpler. I'm sure in a few years when handheld tech keeps developing we'll see more effective ways to play mobile rs. Then nerds can get some sunlight too :thumbsup: (kidding don't get offended anyone lol)

you can easily get 2 Dragon boots per Spirit mage task which is only gonna take around 40-60 mins depending on concentration, Definatley worth doing IMO and they are rarely assigned by Kuradel, Well at least they are for me. Also Vex I tend to get alot of effigy drops from Tz-haars, maybe im just lucky there, 100 a task is pretty fast with a titan and not banking obby charms. I wouldnt skip them all the time even if i were trying to max out effigy/slay xp. They don't drop charms or effigys, not great slay xp and I can make much better money at frosts. Not worth doing just for a few d boots lol

What tasks do you guys think is best to skip? I just skip terror dogs spirit mages and jungle/desert strykes. everything else seems ok xp/effigies/charms

Got my yak in time for wildy :D

94 slay on jad for fire cape #10 :)

I'll be suprised if it doesn't hit 300k again during first week of feb

Must be a huge dissapointment when new players see the trailer and then actually play the game...

You sure? I haven't looted my kingdom in about 3 months and I've been topping up approval and coffers once a week when I do pengs. Would be good to know I don't have to top up the approval until I actually decide to collect it. But I don't wanna risk it lol

Interesting interview cheers for posting. 1 long week to go :thumbsup:

I agree for the most part as its your opinion except for the part where it says that zarfot used his youtube subscribers, and don't say because of the dragonstone video because that would just be ignorant. The one vid I saw by him that I thought had an alterior motive was his 'money making guide' on making raw summer pies, which just happen to be one of the best ways to 200m cook and very difficult to buy on ge. But even if he did make that vid to make raw pies easier to get, it actually was a legit way to make money and prob helped some people out. Nothing like all the youtubers that ask for donations, or 76ks, or divines for med price or w/e.
