Triquos

Thanks for all the amazing help everyone :-D and thank goodness I don't need to buy a spectral shield o_O that thing costs a fortune! Hmmmm, I'd be very interested in the reasons for the ceremonial items street price and value of them in the future - if possible, of course ^_^ and ty for the offer! I will have to go to sleep now, it's getting late but, one more question. For an average Joe like myself, how many ceremonial robe items would it probably take to convince someone to trade their torva platebody for them? I.E. 50 robe tops + 30 robe legs + 20 gloves etc. If camping them forever is what it'll take for me to afford a Torva platebody, I'll be there for a while :-D Again, thanks a ton for the help everyone ^_^

Hyt! Ever since Torva came out I've been wanting the Torva Platebody, but just can't make money fast enough. So, I've just attempted to camp the Ancient Mages in the Ancient Prison for a slight chance of some ceremonial robes. I heard you need +300 melee defence to stop the fighters, and +300 ranged defence to stop the rangers, but I would love to obtain the answers for these questions, if possible please: 1. I heard if you have 150 magic defence, the blood reavers become non aggressive, is this true? 2. I still get poisoned despite praying mage against the Ancient Mages. Is it possible to have the antipoison totem whilst still having the defence requirements to keep ALL monsters in the Ancient Prison non aggressive? Or will I have to just use super antipoison pots? 3. Does ring of wealth help with ceremonial robe drops? 4. Is there a setup which allows you to not be attacked by all monsters (including blood reavers)? Please bare in mind I only have a budget of 70M, so I can't buy an elysian shield etc. etc. Thanks in advance everyone! ^_^

Nightwish - End of an Era (song below is 'Nemo') http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80kOBeMEm2I Couldn't think of any more albums I like :-/ I am looking forward to Within Temptation's new album 'The Unforgiving' in March though, and a new album from Nightwish sometime this year!

I don't like items that degrade unless their hidden ability makes up for the cost, like Guthans. With Torva, the only real difference for me would be the defence stats, and defence I don't really care about because that's what familiars are for, right? I like the look of Torva, so I guess that will be enough of an incentive to make me pay for any repairs. If only the actual armour pieces didn't cost 200m + an arm + a leg for starters. I'm going to camp abby demons for the next 5 years (or until I can afford a piece o_O).

Guild Wars

I don't have any of the tradeable rares, however for untradeable rares, I have all but the bunny ears. For events, I don't have the flagstaff of festivities or the investigator's outfit.

Woops, I forgot to add Rantz :thumbup:

Skulls Helmets Flags Swords Shields Skull + Helmet Swords + Shields Dragon head Battleaxe Those come to mind when I think of clan wars

I'll prepare by waiting until torva armour is buyable from the grand exchange. I'm chicken when it comes to bosses, so I'll leave that to the professionals :thumbup:

I would post my opinion, but considering how many people quote and flame other users for just posting their opinion like in the last thread I was in, I just can't, sorry.

I expected you to know better. Go look at chaos tunnels and tell me there are no bots... Go look at the price history of dbones , and tell me they rose to 4-5k each after free trade was removed. I'll garantuee you, you will change your mind. I guarantee you I won't change my mind.

This. Also if there aren't any updates for level 85-99 content for all skills within the next 2 years, I may go crazy and quit. I may sound a bit demanding but to be honest we've been waiting for all skills to have content up to level 99 for a long time. Slayer needs monsters to fill the gaps for levels 95, 97 and 99 to complete the skill, Firemaking needs something that will make it useful, like the ability to make burning arrows which inflict 'burn' damage? Farming needs patches which, with the right level, do not get diseased after a certain level with the right amount of experience etc., there are plenty more possible updates like this that is needed, but I can only keep hoping the 99 slots are filled one day for all skills. I also would like to see master skillcapes for all skills. I technically have level 120 attack, and would like a cape to show my dedication for that :-(

I think the prices of bones will drop, not rise, simply because there were more bots when there was free trade, causing mass amounts of dragon bones (in particular) to come into the market and stabilize at around 2-2.5k each. When free trade was removed as well as many bots because of the removal, the bones rose to about 4-5k each. I think they will definitely drop in my opinion.

Sounds great. I won't be able to kill the boss though, I've always failed in the boss-killing department. I will have to wait for the armour to be available via the G.E. :-) I can't wait for the melee armour, by the looks of Torva armour, it's going to be fun to wear and use. Now to stop my buy offers in the G.E. for certain things <.<

Ah I didn't know it was the master fisher NPC XD that would explain in then hehe. Can't wait for that melee armour :twisted:

Very nice find. I'm LOVING the glowing purple eyes and head on the shoulders of the melee armour. Must have :thumbup: Edit: Also carrying on from the last screenshot, is this the belt everyone's been waiting for? I remember a topic about a belt coming in 2011 and apparently the belt also being talked about at runefest?

Gained level 120 attack the other day (xp wise) although the ice strykewyrm decided to eat me as my reward :-/ next goal: 200M xp!! *Prays for Jagex to bring out master capes for all skills* :shades:

Voted yes :-) Merry Christmas everyone! :thumbup:

I think Jagex will work on a 3D approach to Runescape sometime in the future, and that looks pretty awesome. When I think how far they've come from devious mud, and the fact they use Java, it still amazes me. The glow on that sword is hypnotising <3:

I would like all skills to have uses/items up to 99 eventually. Sometimes I wonder why I get level 99 in a skill when there is nothing but a cape at the end, which will only collect dust in my bank. In terms of combat though, I think the weapons are more than fine, BUT there needs to be level 99 weapons (not just in daemonheim) and level 99 armour either way. They don't have to have uber high stats or anything though, it could simply be armour with similar (or same) stats, for example Bandos, which just has the added bonus of deflecting some damage with each hit that a monster makes on you. Or even armour which boosts your maximum health over 990 or maximum prayer points over 99 for example. Level 99 weapons could adopt the same approach. You could attach a dark hilt to an abyssal whip at level 99 for example, which would (in turn) change your attack style to match whatever the opponent's weakness is. E.G. if you were to attack a waterfiend with the altered abyssal whip, it would deal crush damage (what the monster is most weak against). There is more than one way to skin a cat as the saying goes, and hidden effects within new weapons/armour can make it more than fair. No crazy high/unfair bonuses required :-) I would also like to see greater mage and range armour. Even as a melee combat enthusiast, I notice combat does get a lot of weapon/armour updates - which is unfair to the other side of the combat triangle, where other players put in the money and effort for those expensive runes and arrows to only be let down with no update for them. That is my 2 cents :-D

I wonder if the GE will be removed with free trade :-/ I would miss the opportunity to just place my stuff in there and wait for it to sell if it was gone :-(

I was wondering this also. I voted for bringing back wildy and free trade simply because free trade is a great sense of freedom. I'm not too fussed on the old wildy. It is strange how anyone can enter someone's name on the voting page though, and I can see it is already being abused :-/ with 1 refresh of the page, there was instantly another 1,000+ more votes. I wouldn't be surprised if people were looking up names on the hiscores and placing every possible name down for the vote, which is almost just as bad as identity fraud, because you're using their name for something without their permission. Ok not quite the same thing, but you get what I mean :-)

My stats were horrible back then, so I'd stay with my account being here and now :-) Though I do wish some things were never changed, like Castle Wars :-( While the new CW armour is great, the catapult really destroyed the spirit and fun of the game imo At the same time, there are some things I wish we had back in the old days, like ancient effigies and extreme potions. They may have been a long time coming, but they sure are the two best updates in Runescape for me.

Wow very nice :-)

Unless there is confirmation by a J mod, going by what players say, to me, is considered a rumour. So until there is confirmation or un-edited screenshots (not faked) of a J mod saying so, I will consider it not true. If it is true though, then it would be very nice. That would be great. I would like to be rewarded for my good behaviour :-D
