The Math of Rare Drops
the figures sound about right, anyone can try this on one of the school calculators using 2000#ran to get a random number between 1 and 2000, i've tried it a few times, sometimes i get the number exactly on a lot of 100, never seemed to get it on number 1 though =[

~~~~~~~ Ultimate Brimhaven Agility Guide ~~~~~~~
*shakes head* some people don't read... yes cakes are perfect, but don't you realize those crucial times when you're 1 obstacle away from getting the ticket, but you're so low on health that you have to keep clicking on that darn cake to get your hp high enough just to attempt to get across? i use lobs now because it's convenient and i dont have to click 3 times.. if this doesn't make any sense.. i don't know what will :shock: but since you guys really insist on cakes.. i'll take lobs off the list -.- I know, i'm just saying if people like taking it the hard way.. they can, i personally think barbarian outpost till 55 or whatever the wildy course requirement is, the wildy course in my opinion, is the 2nd best agility course out there, it's near the same exp as ape atoll, just risky because you have dds pkers that love killing you even if you have nothing on you -.-

Archaeology Skill?
If a new skill comes out, i would like it to be archaeology, but these are just hints.. it might not even come out. And last time i checked, when they come out with a new skill, they say it's coming out, they haven't done this yet.

Actually anything over 1kg starts slowing you down and thus, losing energy faster and maybe even eventually walking the course - not good. Ty for the mention of penance gloves, I don't have them myself, i'll add that to the guide ^_^ tyvm "great layout, but arent cakes better for agility than lobs" yes they are great portions, but i've lost more tickets using cakes than lobs because sometimes you're so close to getting to the ticket, but you keep failing and you have to eat each portion of the cake until you can get past, whereas with a lob, it's relatively low hp restore anyway, and you don't have to eat 3 times. After all, time is crucial in this game.

Please bare in mind I made this a while ago, and new additions such as the karamja gloves will give more experience. From what I heard they give 10% on top of the normal exp ratio, so 1k tix with the karamja gloves would give 352k exp instead of 320k exp. Also with the spottier cape, this lowers your weight by 4-5kg depending on how much you're carrying, this means you can nearly have a full inventory of lobs/tunas/cakes with the spottier cape + boots of lightness! I'm going to eventually train my agility to 99 here as I went to ape atoll a few weeks back, did 1.2k laps in 3 days. I got burnt out and it wasn't really fun going round in circles ;) Another thing, regen bracelets! Yes we know they're lame.. except for here! they heal 2hp instead of 1hp per minute! If you have the $ and want to go hardout training agility here, by all means get one, it will make your stay a lot longer and you'll get more tix =]

~~~~~~~ Ultimate Brimhaven Agility Guide ~~~~~~~
The Brimhaven Agility Arena is located just a little east of the ardougne boat on Brimhaven, in a little hut: What to bring: 26 cakes OR Baskets of strawberries OR Saradomin brews - afterall, yes the potions reduce your combat stats, but you aren't training combat are you? =D You could also go to the lumby bank chest and buy a ton of chocolate to add to your plain cakes to add 6 extra hitpoints per cake - or 2 extra hitpoints per bite. NEVER use sharks, this will give you a lot more hp and will hit you even more, it also wastes money and weighs u down even more. 300gp - the wagon goes by the percentage of how much coins you have on you, so the entrance fee is a definite 200gp, and the ride, to be safe, 100gp. to lower costs, use the karamja gloves (3) to teleport into shilo. super energy pots if you lose energy more than normal. agility pots - temporarily increases agility level by 3 points, alternatively, summer pies increase your agility level by 5, and they are 2 bites each! however these may be hard to get hold of, unless you buy them from the forums. Here is a rough guide on what your inventory should look like, feel free to add/subtract things to suit your levels/preferences with the suggested items above: What to Wear: Penance gloves - reduces weight by 3kg - you can get these from the Barbarian Assult minigame, alternatively, if you have the $ you can get a regen bracelet, this heals 2hp per minute instead of 1. This isn't much but it does help over time and it doesn't weigh too much =] Karamja Gloves (2) - these will give you more exp whilst doing the obstacles and when trading in tickets, this effect only works while wearing them - these can be obtained by completing the medium level of the karamja achievement diary Spottier cape - reduces weight by 4-5kg Boots of lightness - reduces weight by 4-5kg Rough overview of what to wear; bear in mind this is with the suggested inventory above, so that is why it is -5 kg, if I have nothing in my inventory, my weight is -13kg: Suggested levels to train agility: Level 1 ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 40 Gnome Stronghold (alternatively, you could use the Werewolf Agility Course from levels 25 - 40+, this is only available after the completion of the Creature of Fenkenstrain quest) Level 40 ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 52 Barbarian Outpost (at 40 you can start the Brimhaven agility course, it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll just be very hard) Level 52 ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 60 Wilderness Course Level 60 - 75 Brimhaven Agility Course Level 75+ Ape atoll is the best exp from here onwards, as you CAN'T fail an obstacle anymore. Ticket Rewards: Number of tickets: Reward: 1 - 240 xp 3 - Toadflax herb 10 - Snapdragon herb 10 - 2,480 xp 25 - 6,500 xp 100 - 28,000 xp 800 - Pirate̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s hook (worth 1.2M ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ 1.8M) 1000 - 320,000 xp (If you're wearing karamja gloves (2) on while trading in the 1k tickets, you'll receive 352,000 agility exp, a difference of 32k exp! these gloves can be obtained from completing the medium level of the karamja achievement diary) Obstacle: Exp: Ledge - 16 Hand Holds - 22 Blade - 0 Spinning Blade - 28 Darts - 30 Rope Balance - 10 Rope swing - 20 Floor [bleep]es - 24 Pressure Pads - 26 Monkey Bars - 14 Pillars - 18 Low Wall - 8 Low Balance - 12 Planks - 6 Exp with karamja gloves (2): Balancing Ledge - 18 (2 exp better) Hand Holds - 24 (2 exp better) Blade - 0 (no difference) Spinning Blade - 31 (3 exp better) Darts - 33 (3 exp better) Rope Balance - 31 (21 exp better!) Rope swing - 22 (2 exp better) Floor [bleep]es - 26 (2 exp better) Pressure Pads - 29 (3 exp better) Monkey Bars - 15 (1 exp better) Pillars - 20 (2 exp better) Low Wall - 8 (no difference) Log Balance - 14 (2 exp better) Planks - 6 (no difference) This may not be a noticable difference, but it all adds up, and I for one, am not going to risk my penance gloves anymore, so from now on i'm wearing the karamja gloves (2), and guess what? if you lose the karamja gloves, you can get them back! it's a win-win situation. Here are the obstacles: How to get tickets: When you first enter the arena you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll notice at the top right of your screen 2 boxes, the bottom box will be red, this means you cannot receive tickets yet. When you tag the pillar with the yellow arrow above it, the signal will turn green, indicating you can now receive tickets from here on. If you happen to miss the next ticket, the symbol will go back to red, which means you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll have to tag the next pillar to get it back to green, and then you can receive tickets again etc. Your tickets will get you rewards which you can trade with Pirate Jacky the Fruity just above the arena where you pay Cap̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢n Izzy No-Beard 200gp to enter. Aim of the game: Here, you race against the clock making your way to the flashing arrow above the particular pillar to receive a ticket. The flashing arrow changes to a different pillar every minute, sometimes you may get lucky and the next pillar might only be 1 obstacle away, it happens :P always note in your head the seconds it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s taking you, if you keep failing an obstacle and you know you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re not going to make it, and say you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re failing darts to get through, don̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t bother, otherwise you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll lower your agility level a lot and it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll make things harder, I tend to go around the darts, but if you have to go through them in order to make the pillar in time, you have to. Keep your hitpoints 20 and below, that way you won̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t get hit as much damage, and you will be able to stay for much longer (once made 300 or so tickets in 1 trip) Obstacles to note: The darts lower your agility level by 1 or 2 levels (it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s random) so it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s best to go around them, but if you have to go through them, you have to go through them :S Spinning blades usually are a pain too, time it right, and you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll never fail it, make sure you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re pretty far away from the blade, then about half a second after it goes down, click on the other side of the spinning blade (onto the next platform) so that by the time you get there, the spinning blade is up, which automatically stops you, then as soon as it goes back down, your character runs past the spinning blades untouched. The Planks are annoying IF you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re late to the pillar, when the flashing arrow changes to the next pillar, the planks are automatically changed, so if you happen to click on the right plank (the one without all the holes which make you fail it) when the arrow switches it could possibly change, so you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll go to the correct one, but then it changes and you fail it, so beware of that when you know you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re going to be late to the next pillar and you have to use the planks. The spinning blades are a pain, I still get 0wnd a lot from them, there̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s nothing you can do about it I̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m afraid :S Handholds are also a pain, occasionally on the 2nd handhold you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll fail, and it takes a while to get back up, the handholds are one of the longer obstacles to get pass, the darts probably come in 1st in the time department (because of the little movie of you dodging the darts ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ matrix style) so I don̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t like using them, but if it means you have to go through either handholds or darts in order to get your tix, you have to. If you're waiting on a ticket, do some obstacles to keep you busy, also, if you have just received a ticket, go to the middle of the course so that you won't have to run as far to the next one, this reduces your chance of not making the next ticket. for best results, go to a less crowded world (world 2 is always laggy) and use low detail, that way it makes the course easier to do, as you're not distracted by all the other things around you, like the lava below, and it makes the yellow arrow more visual to the eye. Also, it is easier to have your view angle down low when you're ready to run off to your first tower, that way you can click in every direction, as shown below: Remember, it doesn't matter if you're first or last, as long as you get the ticket, it's all that matters :) ~~~~~~~ CREDITS ~~~~~~~ Vlad_the_old - Suggestion on the baskets of strawberries as food Kingmage - Suggestion on the saradomin brews as food Candymann16 - Suggestion on making chocolate cakes for the extra hp Lionel - Suggestions on bringing super energy pots, and wearing a spotted cape if you don't have a spottier cape. Soulegleon - Suggestion on the Penance gloves as gear to wear The_13th_Apostle - Correcting me in that you only need karamja gloves (2) for the agility bonuses, not the karamja gloves (3) Bashful - For telling me the karamja gloves (2) give you more exp with the obstacles, and for also suggesting to add in that - if you're waiting on a ticket, you're best to go to the middle of the course and do some obstacles while waiting. Ceblue - Suggested the Werewolf Agility Course ^_^ Rodentratman - Wrote a summary of this guide (see page 2) for those who don't want to read through everything here (yes there is a lot of info in my guide, lol) TIPIT - for the map of the Brimhaven Agility Arena to see the obstacles much better, and for giving me the chance to shed light on Agility and how to train it at Brimhaven ^_^ If it weren't for these key people, my guide wouldn't be up-to-scratch with the latest items and info, aswell as very good suggestions that can help you stay there for even longer! Thank you very much guys ^_^

lowest level you've seen with 99 HP?
a friend who knows a friend... :shame: no proof, no say :roll:

:: The Achievement Diary ::
i dont know how people can not like this update, personally the new mine rocks for me, it's my new mining method towards 99 (eventually) as the quarry was nerfed, this is now my new mining spot =p also, cheaper onyx items? hello? everyone's dream of cheap furies etc. who wouldn't like this update? apart from the people that lost money from them.. i personally thought furies were overpriced, i'm glad to see them at around 4m now as with the brimhaven agility tix, yes it's only minimal exp, but it's actually great now, coz i'm sick of ape atoll, one time i did 1200 laps in 3 days, just going around and around. I've always found brimhaven way more fun and less stressfull, in ape atoll i feel like i have to beat my record every single lap, it's frustrating. now i can finally go to brimhaven knowing i'll get more exp, along with more fun, and less tix till 99 =] btw if you spend 1k tix u'll get 352k exp instead of 320k exp (10% extra with gloves) that extra 32k exp is like another 100 tix, so realistically, you only need to get 900 tix instead of 1k now conclusion - everyone complaining about this update doesn't have a brain to realise it's a unique and fun update that i personally find more fun than quests because quests are boring, the only fun part is the reward, whereas with the achievements, it's fun doing stuff that you'd never normally do, and you get to train your levels different ways, i think it's one of the best updates jagex has come out with for months, not to mention those new lunar spells coming out =] *wink wink* :D

:: The Achievement Diary ::

Last quest for the quest cape?
rag and bone man. - the 2nd part of it, took so many trips to pollish those nub bones :anxious:
-
They were giving out a REWARD for info on the dupe?
It's funny that the person who did the duping was so dumb lol, what did he expect jagex to do? ask politely and not give him a ban? he musta had an i.q. the size of a dust partical \
-
was this a luring attempt?
i saw that in rs forums at one stage too rofl \

WeemaN ~ 70 HerblorE! - 88/94 MagiC - 1722 Total!
nice! 97 fletching!!!!! people think fletch and cook capes are nub capes, but when you think about it, there's a TON of effort involved into them either way, and i still haven't got 99 fletching (86 ftl =p) i'll get round to it one day :anxious:
-
Why doesn't anyone ever play with private chat on?
Exactly. I'd love to have it on, but I get so many random pms and sometimes I just don't want to be disturbed, especially when i'm gilded-altering my dragon bones in my house and I have limited time to use them on the altar. Plus most of my friends don't talk to me or just quit without even telling me, so I end up deleting most friends and keep friends i've known for years or people that are like me. :D
-
Your best moment in RS?
when i got my first dragon drop - d chain from dusties on slayer task ^_^ (note i killed 9.5k before this task so it wasn't like i got extremely lucky lol) \
-
Ooh, level -50 Wilderness.
theres been lots of glitches today :-w first the world 42 thing where people were still logged in, and now this.. *sigh* jagex prolly doing some hidden updates which are making everything go nutty :shame:
-
If you could have just ONE thing..
erm.. party hats already exist.. :roll: *points to burger king's party hats* :D :lol: lolz.. anyways I'd probably want a 99 prayer cape to wear and laugh at my dog saying I've got a higher prayer level :mrgreen: just kidding ^_^ I dunno what i'd do
-
Better to be Cool or Powerful?
I think power can change people, so I choose coolness. My friend kantoo in my opinion is one of the best friends you could ever have. He helped me out when jagex didn't transfer my rs classic items to rs2 when it came out. He gave me full rune to get me back on my feet, as soon as I made money, I gave him the full rune back and told him how greatful I was, I was still astounded someone would do that for me! Now i've known him for quite a few years now and we've both grown many levels, but the thing that I admire about kantoo the most is that he'd do anything for anyone, it's like cyrano74 (rank 7 player) long story.. the jist is about the wildy and cyrano helping me out after I got owned by a dds pker at wildy agility arena course. Anyways kantoo is a great friend, he does anything for anyone, and i'd do the same thing for him =] just a few days ago when I decided to go for 99 prayer, he asked if I could get him some rangers, as I was in world 2 at the time, I got the rangers and hopped worlds to trade them to him for how much I bought them for. Afterwards he told me to come back to edge as he had something for me. He gave me tons of marrentils and got his step son to give me tons more marrentils, he's incredible like that. He also invited me to his birthday party in his house. It was so impressive.. someone even gave him a fury amulet! that's how awesome he is. I think a friend you've known for a long time that would do anything for anyone is in my eyes, the best player in Runescape, like The Old Nite - RIP. Although I never got to meet him, I heard lots of great things about him. I think it's amazing for someone of his level and rank to still be nice and caring for players.

Weird Pm's
i always get noobs that come up to the abby demon room and ask for free whips and such.. i don't reply as then they'll keep following me until i teleport, so anyways sometimes the other guys that are getting followed by noobs tell them that i give away free whips. suddenly the noob/s follow me and asking for fr33 wh1ps pl0x and trading me a zillion times. One time it got really bad and the guy started telling the noob i gave away p hats, at that point i told him to shut up because he didn't know me and was saying false accusations about me, and he said sorry =P sometimes you just have to tell them like it is. :uhh: :thumbsup:

Looting Dead Players?
0ne time i was hallying black demons (back when i was level 88) and some mage started dissing my stats and talking trash about me. I minded my own business, but he just kept talking trash. I used drag b spec to get higher strength, but it took a while that by the time i got to attack the black demon again, the mage had taken over for me. He laughed and snickered as i was there, shocked, wondering what i had ever done to him. And then karma kicked in. Just as he finished typing he attempted to go back to the safe spot. He was off by 1 square, and he went away from keyboard, as he wasn't hitting back or running from the black demon. So anyways he's getting hit 16's and stuff, and 1 more hit he was going to die. He comes back, as he finally moves to the safe spot. But, the last blow got him. Down he went.. I took most of his runes and robes, no sympathy whatsoever for him. His friend was beside him, he didn't notice. I told him that that is what happens when you diss me and my stats, it comes back to haunt =D now if the mage hadn't been so uptight about me just being there, I would have happily given his stuff back. I have no sympathy for people who laugh, snicker and diss people, to die, and then expect their belongings back.
