I like new dragon boots. Don't like/haven't seen the rest of the items. Like with the barrows update, I dislike how this makes everything look so similar. From a distance on fixed it'll be hard for me to tell dragonhide from metal armour even. That'll take awhile to get used to. And they lengthened the bandos tassets =\.

I imagine a task set for daemonheim is "create a katagon full helm, bovistrangler shortbow, magic potion, etc" for different tiers, or other rather simple tasks. Maybe they'd have requirements to get the journals and diaries and such. I think that muggiwhplar was right about daemonheim being medium-hard-elite-grandmaster, though. Increased chance of soulgazer spawns? >.<

never again

300 Ma rank 2200 total Going to do 80 to 88 cooking for falador diary (only need that and 40k fishing experience.)

Clan Fealty Don't care. Citadel only gets used for agility effigies, and I have a ton of locked effigies to open before I can do anything. Bonus Xp weekend Will skip, maybe go for 92 herblore or something easy (400k until 92), don't really care Player armor I kind of like the existing bandos, really like armadyl, and think the nex armours look fine already. Except the torva helmet. I hope that the original look stays somewhat similar, and the concept dragon seems too ornate. Will get over it New Loyalty Rewards Don't really care, have JoT. I think I have around 27k points or something. Probably won't spend them. Mami Rambi Maybe good for Pvm, more things for pkers to complain about :thumbsup: and thank jagex for. I hope they're untradable so you need the fletching and woodcutting requirements to create them, or like flasks where we get to make 200k-300k daily on them. However, I doubt this'll be the case as it doesn't mention this. Transportation Don't care. Judging by recent updates, it'll be a craptastic lagfest of hundreds/dozens of players desperately trying to click portals with a tiny clickable area on 2 fps. House tele will probably be just as convenient. Plus, many of our teleports are items, which (presumably) wouldn't be affected New tasks Cool, I always like these. I hope I can complete all of the hard set as with the others. Extra 15k runecrafting also, can't complain about that. Seems decent enough overall. Hopefully nothing stupid in the in other news... sections of these updates.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj1mc2vkJtk That was what I did for the monkeys more or less. Just make sure to lure them individually. I'm not sure the best way to get pages now; I got all of them before the update. Since I hear you can get 2+ per chest now, I'd just play "normally" - don't loot every time.

Wait, what does EoE stand for?

Similar for me. Perhaps when a rank one, or even frontpage, could have been possible in Construction, I'd have enjoyed getting 200M in it. However now, and especially with the highscore removal for ftp, I don't have any interest in that. 99 everything would be fun, but I'd get bored really quickly if I just randomly gained 300ish total levels in a day.

I traded one cool cape for another: [hide] I got tired of hunter being my only non 80+ stat for seven months. Purple cape :> Now for armadillo cape[/hide]

I doubt it. The pickaxes don't last very long (15-20k depending on ore I believe).

I got a fire cape :thumbup: Now back to your regularly scheduled ISE programming

I know you're only asking for helm/shield/plate, but I believe there aren't any better alternatives for you in those categories. Regen bracelet has no requirements, and you can also get climbing boots if you get ~3k attack xp (idk your setup, might ruin it, might be fine). Can't think of any better strength alternatives than the ones you have. And obviously, fire cape when you're strong enough

Akrisae/penance armour set effects to the completionist cape. Probably not Akrisae as that would be pretty powerful. If I remember right penance is 1800 (new) prayer points an hour gained. That's about 5.5 doses of prayer potion. Nothing spectacular but would be nice.

There needs to be one for "Kupo" now. I realised while playing MA against them that they have almost 24k mobilising armies rank :blink: . They were the noob with the (heavy) troops that attacked everyone else.

Congrats SUOMI on a year of being maxed :thumbup:

From what I understand much of the annoyance at video ads stems from mod gerhard (paraphrasing) promising ftp no more video ads, as they were (are) really annoying and don't raise much revenue. Whatever happened to him.. I honestly have a hard time being outraged at this. If it plays while the world is changing, big deal, but if it plays after the countdown ends I can see why its frustrating. I might or might not use an adblocker on my ftp character.

:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: I should have waited to complete dominion tower. Oh well. I've learned my lesson for next time.

I'd like to finish this, or at least get to wave 30 for 70k runecrafting experience, as soon as possible. However, I have: 90 Attack/Strength/Defence 92 Hitpoints 93 Summoning/Prayer <_< 88 Range 89 Magic (extremely close to 90) as my combat stats. Further, I have access to dreadnips, Enhanced enhanced excalibur, a chaotic rapier, maul, crossbow and staff, and 91 Herblore. I would be able to plunder my kingdom and get 92 Herblore and overloads, after some frustrating minutes/hours catching hellrats. If for whatever reason I absolutely had to, I could either dg 1.4m xp or so, or reset my t10 and 2x t9 ring of kinship, which would get me an instant chaotic. I have ganodermic poncho, legs, and visor; Arcane stream necklace, infinity boots, etc. I probably could borrow an armadyl battlestaff to use, along with a few hundred runes (would prefer to not use them the entire trip though, as they're a bit expensive if regular polypore would do the job. Assuming polypore animation doesn't freeze my screen. Probably wouldn't.) I have fury, fire cape, goliath gloves, defender dragon boots etc for melee gear. I can most likely borrow bandos tassets and chestplate, also. (probably shouldn't waste too many slots on gear switches.. like for boots etc.) Finally, I am 176/300 MA rank and can afk that over a few days if it would be worthwhile. I've been doing 15-20 rank here and there for awhile. Such a dumb minigame. I'm fine with only making it to wave 30 for the bonus right now, and coming back in a few months with turmoil, higher magic, and higher ranged. Ideally, I'm not planning to max out melees any time soon until I get my effigies out of the way.

Your signature is so appropriate :thumbsup:

Perish the thought. They still drop effigies, just at a slower rate. The exact decrease in effigy droprate is still to be confirmed, however. Regardless, they are likely to still be one of the best effigy droppers compared to everything else. Though I do foresee this effigy change affecting the economy in a big way, but not in the way you illustrate. Instead, players are forced to actually train skills to level them up (what a concept) instead of just raising any of their skills through pure combat. Now maybe people will actually bring resources into the game a la runecrafting and other skills that were previously effigyscaped. No we won't. Runecrafting will lag along on jot/pengs/troll/assist/wicked hood.

Please tell me you got that blue charm :ohnoes: Oh, and congratulations!@

1) was this necessary? I don't think it was necessary. We've had 18 months of effigies, the damage has been done. That being said, I think that restrictions of some kind should have been on effigies since the start. I'd prefer they make actually training the skills enjoyable/rewarding rather than removing the other options of training. That's just lazy. 2) are effigies in the spirit of the game? TBH when they were released I didn't think so, but after so long: Runecrafting = effigies. They've been in the game for long enough for me to not care. 3) do you agree with the way jagex implemented their nerf? No. Lazy restrictions that screw people who were hoarding to use later, IE people with longterm plans rather than assisting all the exp away and getting a tiny reward. Also, their habit of hiding game-changing content in small "in other news" sections is bullshit. I'd also like to add that I thought the original intention was to provide encouragement for combat players to raise their skills up, to be able to open all of the stages. Now that they can't be stored, it kind of seems like encouragement to just go to 117 daemonheim or wherever and get your 25k xp dragonkin lamp.

There once was a great Obt who was very good at drinking coffee. Just recently news came that Obt would have another storytime written by his loyal fans. One day Obt woke up and cheated on kelsi with a sparrow that looked like the harpy Mr Greens... Obt was so aghast at this mistake he went on a Dungeoneering rampage, unbinding all his arrows and throwing them into the home ggs portal. They hit Grimy Bunyip, causing him to stop drop and roll off the edge of Shadow-Forger's room into a bathtub, turning him into a much less efficient, albeit clean Bunyip. Obt then slayed the Shadow-Forger, causing him to fall down into the DGS clan citadel and die of boredom, because he was trapped and had no agil effigies to open. Fortunately for Obt, he was a mighty Sith Lord. He used the Force to powercook pancakes for all the Harpies in the yard, who then called over Kal'ger the Warmongererer to see if he could really eat twenty heimcrabcakes at once. Kal'ger could only eat three before Obt became impatient and shoved them all down Kal'gers throat at once causing him to fall head-head first into the DGS clan citadel. Kal'ger fought down the urge to challenge dgs to a yugioh battle because DGS had harpies. The Harpies, however, didn't have a blue eyes white harpy that could transform into Nex if you superheated it. Kal'ger knew this and summoned his zombie army. Then the harpies made sweet cakes and ate them. This made the harpies super powerful and Kal'ger was a dinosaur with asthma so when he tried to eat a Harpy-cake and went into a cake-induced coma. Obt then continued on his quest through F61, his trusty Primal Scimitard gripped tightly in his hands, when all of a sudden he was ambushed by Provite warrior (level-7). Obt was lucky to escape with his life, although the warrior murdered his Cub World-bearer gruesomely by using a Hexhunter Bow as a garrotte... Obt was astonished by the bloodshed and the hatred of this Provite Warrior, and vowed to kill it once and for all. However, a F1 Large+4 was called by Obt's nemesis Kayla, who had just joined Fungeonsweepers. Obt decided to join to sabotage Kayla's floor by planting a nyan cat in the construction spot, because Kayla couldn't gt tele. When she noticed, she demanded NC to open all of the doors. However, nyan cat just stole all the keys and hid them in its rainbow trail. Kayla was mad bro. She was no bro though, so Obt's manly powers of seduction were futile and useless, leaving him no choice but to ragequit the floor and leave Kayla and the Nyancat behind. He decided to join 999134thpure in a stake, but he fed 999 to a Baby Troll and was thus disqualified. Upon seeing this Brunokiller decided to smuggle a Mal Gobson out of Daemonheim for Obt so he could attempt to kill Leo, the Sandwich Lady and both evil twins. Once they were dead, Obt
