Good luck with that. If you continue like that you're going to get cleaned out one day. Staking is an absolute waste of time. Expected value = 0. Doing anything, even picking flax is better in the long run. (Provided you don't have a gimmick)

I have never heard this. However it is true that people once bound arrows to alch them so they would have more start up cash. Jagex then made them unalchable and increased the gold the monsters dropped to compensate. As a side note, you shouldn't be picking up coins while dungeoneering anyways. After toolbox and startup ess, you have no need for coins.

Jeez, could this post be any more wrong? Both the CAD and the Euro are ahead of the USD.

I think it has more to do with rune scimitars not being vaporized on death as was the case before.

Seems pretty explicitly F2P to me. Link

I've always loved messing around with game mechanics. There's nothing more satisfying than figuring out how something works. As you know, the shoe changing makeover store is members only. However, this does not mean f2p players can't change their shoes. In some cases, when you change your sex at the makeover mage, your shoes will change as well. I can't get it to change to what I want yet but I'm trying to understand it. Anyone know how to get whatever shoes you want?

Ive been playing since the classic days and I seem to remember that ranging didnt give hits xp back then. If you ever doubt anyone's p2p status you should get them to qc their quest points or something similar.

Is it possible to gain ranged experience without hp in f2p?

My question should have been more precise I suppose. Do you find people to go on the list manually? As far as I know, there's no easy way to go through the highscores and look for potential candidates who have low skill totals and high total exp. You'd have to go to check the first page of every total level between 1430 and 1600 manually.

By all means, make snide remarks and don't explain.

Hey guys, I really like what you guys are doing here since Jagex doesn't have free to play high scores. Just a few questions: 1) How do you make sure former members don't get on the list? 2) Do you do it manually? I can't imagine someone trawling through the high scores page by themselves checking out every single person. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Katori, you have been extremely helpful. Cheers.

I must have had it for 8 years. Is there any way to accelerate the process? Thanks.

Hi. I've finally caved into changing my long held username. I like the new one much better but the last known as thing is a bit unappealing. Does anyone know the exact mechanics behind it being removed? I know it cannot be purely a matter of time because I've seen some people on my friends list who've had it for months while some got it removed quite quickly. Does someone else have to take your old name? If someone doesn't, how long is the typical wait for it to go away?

I'm not 100% sure on GE mechanics but I don't think the ability to buy 1 of an item at a price indicates it's possible to buy that item in bulk at the same price. If they're almost the same price, it seems dragon bones would be the way to go, no?

I'm looking to get prayer up and membership runs out in a few days and with exams coming up I don't think I'll renew for a while. The cost of infernal ashes as listed on the GE isn't anywhere close to accurate. Does anyone know the actual value they buy and sell for at the moment? Is it currently better xp/gp than dragon bones? Thanks.

You are overlooking one thing about the 6 hour forced log out: it ensures when you run out of membership you don't play forever.

I like dangerous FFA. It's the freest form of PVP in the game. No level restrictions. If you don't like you don't have to enter it. No sympathy for people who get lured into it either. This game is care bear enough.

The novelty.

Thanks for the replies. I'm already maxed melee and my herb and prayer are nowhere close to 99. Looks like it will be 99 magic and smith for me. Cheers.

Other than quest rewards and superheat item, what are ways someone can get two 99s at the exact same time? How about three? or even more?

In my opinion you should never fish for lobsters. Ever. Fishing for lobsters at my level (85) earns me about 40k coins per hour and 22k experience per hour. Powerfishing trout and salmon earns me about -8k coins per hour and 42k experience per hour. Assuming you are capable of earning more than 80k coins per hour using other means ( this should be easy), it is more efficient for you to flyfish.

Please look more carefully. His RCing level is 70 so it gives 3.x earth runes per essence. I was rounding up. If we're talking about 99 RC, then you can do 6.x water runes per essence. That figures out to be around 170k/h using cabbage patch. Teletabs is a no go since you have to subtract the opportunity costs of not having traded the GOP points in for water talismans. You are correct but we were discussing runecrafting as seperate from GOP.

Uhh... Runecrafting maxes out at about 100k an hour in F2P. Not sure how you're getting 200k an hour. Assuming you can craft 1100 essence into earth runes an hour ( I can only get about 1000) that's (1100 ess x 4 runes per ess x 37 gp) - (1100 ess x 47 gp) = 111k gp

It was deducted based on the theory that not only strength has a max hit, but both attack and defense do aswell. Then, by knowing the max hits of both attack and defense and testing the accuracy on another player it is easy to prove how the formula works(and a dice roll system has always been the most likely theory anyway). For monster defense, it's easy to calculate them if you know your attack max hit and test around 1000 hits for accuracy, but as noone has bothered to do it we have to go by approximates. What evidence is there to support this theory? It just seems like baseless speculation to me. I thought you arrived at this conclusion because someone collected data and performed a regression.
