http://puu.sh/1p1dF First time I've owned a set, I normally only hold a blue because of price variation. I won 4 of those off 9999134thypure yesterday. Bad luck and apologies for running if you read this.

Quick question: If I give someone 10B because I'm feeling generous, and receive a £3k gift at the same time, how can you prove the two events are linked?

Sold nex sets a while back :P I pretty much converted my bank into shards, other than a couple of partyhats. CBA with the speculation, I'll rebuy stuff when it stabilizes.

Smite deserves the reset. Aside from any RWT based ban, he ddos'd people at the duel arena. Good riddance.

Yeah it goes to default colours too. If you change the colours on your max cape or buy a second max cape, then you can change the colours on the keepbox'd cape apparently.

Dragon keepsake box is nice, but a shame it's a solomon item.

The EoC is less of an evolution of combat and more of a revolution. I think I'll be able to get used to it, but I'm not happy about it. That said, every time they update the beta due to feedback, they get closer and closer to the live game. Maybe they'll get the message eventually? Oh, as for the tutorial, it was completely useless. Anyone who spent half an hour messing around in the DA or on a slayer task could have worked that out. I thought they were supposed to be showing us how it was a deeply tactical system, as opposed to "Use the abilities that do extra damage after a stun, after a stun." Or how about, use DOT abilities near the start of the fight? Or using anticipation when your opponents stuns are off cooldown. Yeah, some real tactical genius there. I can totally see how RS combat is now deep and meaningful.

1. Get to a decent base such as 80+ all, at that point your training methods won't change much till 99. 2. Get the gp for buyables. Investing and flipping whilst you do your non buyables will easily pay for your buyables, and will leave you several billion for afterwards if you're already experienced with the RS markets. 3. Don't be afraid to just stop playing for a couple of months. You're looking at a time investment of 100 days +, not many people can do that all in one go.

Jagex said Runespan would be a slight increase in speed over ZMI, it ended up being around twice as fast pre nerf. Also, we aren't sure if those Jmods were doing Jagex's version of dg - skilling in floors etc. - or actually doing dg. If they were doing Jagexdg, player dg will be the fastest skills in the game :P Seriously though, I'm certainly going to be taking advantage of this as soon as it's released, as between effigies, FPF and Runespan, they seem to be a bit carefree with the nerfs lately. Edit: Drumgun overtook Elias in overall xp.

5man DG is already 500-600k/hr as it is though. If they plan to buff 5man dg as well, it's going to be absolutely insane. Leeching maybe...including the time spent on C1s (unless you C2 - not likely as you need cosmics so gf arrows - or dg challenge your C1s) plus 1 or 2 deaths a floor even if you're not sui'ing, is the average really that high?

So solo dg is about 350k xp/hr at higher levels apparently, and higher if you're better at dg. Should help Paperbag out, came a bit late for Drumgun though.

If a JMod was getting 350k xp/hr solo, I'm guessing players will be able to get at least 400k /hr solo, and I'm guessing 5 man dg xp rates will be 500k + (even though solo got the biggest buff, they said group dg would still be best.) As for the combat beta, xp rates need fixing. I was getting over 200k pure slayer xp/hr on a greaters task in maxed range the other day (they're weak to bolts in EoC). But the actual combat and interfaces aren't too bad now. Momentum could do with a slight buff still IMO, and they need to differentiate between barrows/non nex GWD gear better, but otherwise it's not as bad as I thought it was.

350k xp/hr solo dg? Yum. I wonder what the xp rate 5 manning will be now. This update comes at pretty much the ideal time for me :P

They spend a lot of time on RWT? Lol'd. They didn't have a single JMod devoted to it previously. WAD and others literally bartered for the price of gp and organized the required details within his CC for the entire time I was there (over 6 months). The evidence was there, and it was blatantly obvious. They only did something after someone made a thread in hlf about it, and it took several weeks for them to actually ban him and the others then. Before that, when was the last time you heard of someone banned for RWT?

Oak dungeon doors not tables. + Doesn't like the skill.

They mentioned in the livestream that they've been building up a 'war chest' from their RWT profits. I think upgrading all the servers to the quality of the French and German servers would be an excellent first investment of that cash.

What price are you referring to? price of gold per million? or prices of items? Price of gold is not what randox is talking about. He is talking about cost of goods. Selling gold, whether by players or by bot-companies increases the cost of goods due to enabling more people to buy stuff they otherwise would not (since they can spend real world money) and therefor causes prices to rice to meet this increased demand. This demand would not exist if gold could not be bought, since a player wouldn't be able to infuse their character with more gp via buying. Some people are arguing that it is "ok" ethically for a player to sell gold, because they aren't impacting the economy on as large a scale as other gold selling is (from large companies). Plenty of people here disagree with this viewpoint. If players selling gold to gold buying companies do not affect the price of the GP on that site, then they do not affect how much gold is bought. Whilst RWT does lead to what you suggest, that is from botted gold. The largest ever player-website transaction did not cause prices to move, so it is safe to assume that transactions under that won't cause prices to move either. If the price of gold on the site does not change, how can players selling gold lead to more gold being bought?

As I've previously said though, players selling gold do not affect prices. You can assume demand is arbitrarily high. If 140B doesn't change the price per M by a single cent, what exactly will?

Getting 99 prayer and slayer would improve your money making. (Higher prayer = more prayer points restored per dose, Slayer for ganos and future slayer dungeons.) Also, getting a completionist's cape if you make money through PVM/Slayer/Combat of any form.

I think he should just scrap the goal thing as a requirement. Firstly because a lot of the players just skill and end up getting close to 200m all without setting it as a goal, and secondly because stating 200m all is your goal is basically redundant. It doesn't appear to make you more likely to achieve it at any rate, the two players who stated it was their goal have quit/stopped gaining xp competitively.

~2M Sum xp ~3M Herb xp A bit of firemaking and farming.

Making billions on runescape doesn't require computer skills, it requires you to click a seed. WAD was terrible with computers, he couldn't even figure out how to livestream with people guiding him through it. There's also the fact that beyond top level executive jobs, banking, medicine and other lucrative careers, very few jobs pay as well as RS does for some of these people. For an fc owner for instance, they'd collect about $2k a week (6b or so) in weekly payments from their ranks without even hosting themselves. If you had the choice between working 9-5 all week, and making triple that in an hour, which would you pick? Who even cares if they're in poverty or not. It'd just be silly to turn that much money down.

Next week on solomon: access to premium servers!

Where's this nonsense coming from. Jake didn't drop out of school for RS, he dropped out for different reasons, which then left him more time to RS. Don't spread rumours which are not true.

Unfortunately, everyone else is talking about players directly selling gold to other players, if not gold selling as a whole. Nah they aren't. This thread was created because of WAD and others being banned, who'd sell 10B+ at a time. Player-player transactions are rarely for anything over 100M because of trust issues (obviously one side has to pay first), and because other than companies based around RWT, there's no one willing to fork out tens of thousands for RSGP. Player-player transactions make up such a small amount of RWT you can discard them.
