I feel your pain. This happened to me as well. Lost an entire Bronze Platebody. I was really upset. You might have lagged and clicked it when he already finished you.
The fire cape is a symbol or pride and power. The gloves are a symbol of pride for quests. The fire cape takes about 3 hours to get. All those quests take hours to do. I don't really care about how the gloves stats are better, everyone is gonna have them, only a few will have the fire cape.
No you can't. It's impossible to hit 100+ on a player because max player health is 99. Also, without a salve ammy on undead, you can't hit above I think its 85. The person prays at that alter in the desert, goes to cwars, and gets smashed by the cieling rocks. There ya go. 100+ hit.
Ancients aren't really hard to beat as a ranger wearing Karil's. I mean, I can kill them with bronze arrows in castle wars... But they can still hit high and run away. They can also cast ancients on me while i can't hit them with a MSB since they are far away. I don't know...range just needs a little boost maybe.
When you are about to die from a group of a few people, say something like "NOT MY TEN RUNE SCIMMIES!!!" Do this on a f2p world and they will turn against eachother since no one will "share."
