Just FYI it's a single kitten you find in old school. The guide I followed said "3 little kittens" or something along those lines so I spent quite some time looking for another 2, when in fact they just updated the item "kitten" to "3 little kittens" at some point. :P

I'm sure some more savy people would be able to find you a link to this, but previously it has been stated that it requires a certain amount of skill and it is NOT abusing a bug. It does keep you awake during those long slayer trips so I can see why it would be encouraged rather than discouraged, but I have doubts it was purposefully put into the game to act in the way that it does :P @Sara, yeah when you get the timing right it's quite satisfying to flick both protect and an offensive boost. Woox has a video where he does it on jad, with no items, with 1 prayer... Woox is crazy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg9aCN97ZV8

Huh. Thanks Andrew. So i understand only the first tick of prayer is free, everything after this costs prayer as expected and it's done to decimal points so you may have 43/43 prayer for a while but it's actually 42.9... 42.8... with every tick. Prayer bonus naturally slows how much prayer is used. You can pray flick forever if you only leave it on for 1 tick and give it at least 1 tick of cool down each time. (Isn't this technically a bug/abusing the game mechanics?)

You can run multiple instances of games on good computers, I often do this to play single player games competitively with friends in the same room. We also play LAN only games on a single computer using this method. (You can use multiple monitors/screens) PCs and Consoles also don't have much local multiplayer now days as it's all focused on the internet which I agree is a shame as I love playing in the same room. The console seriously offers nothing to the table, I can play most console games on the PC using the console's controller if I wish. I can emulate Nintendo stuff easily, which happen to be the only exclusives I care for at all. My PS3, 360 and Wii are all very dusty. "And Powerfrog, a computer with low quality parts like that (for the most part) will only last a few years before it dies" ...No? What is your reasoning behind this statement? The PSU is suitable for the parts, the mobo is actually pretty good. The GPU is excellent quality, if a little outdated by today's standards, and the CPU could admittedly use a cheap cooler if you overclock, but you don't need to overclock to play any game out there on standard settings anyway. This thing could last decades if you treat it right. Longer than the average lifespan of a console, for sure. edit: for the record that rig is a popular budget one from December last year as stated, there are better or cheaper parts available. I used it to serve a point, it's not high tier stuff, but it runs all console games fine. My personal one is a bit overkill and cost about £1200($1700) as I do software development as a career and make use of the more powerful features.

DKs would be best to cannon, 75 defense lasts a while. I'm pretty sure you're a rich staker, so it could be sensible to chin DKs while there, you can't really chin the typical places with 1 prayer.

I'm just kinda confused now. Are we talking about player vs player here? Because when you try any of the above on another melee plaayer they will refuse to fight and escape from you. Ice barrage and stand under enemy would be very powerful... If people did "deathmatches" with any chump that freezes them. Nobody does. They will get annoyed with you, maybe try spec you out, and escape. ] Veng is lunars and used by meleers. It's one of the huge reasons why mage is weak (No offensive spells with veng at same time)

It's safe to assume any decent high level pker will have 94+ mage. Magic vs black dhide splashes more often than whip vs torags misses. You have not "fought" 100s of meleers farcasting. You've been a minor inconvenience and forced 100's of meleer to tele from you. Of those 100 you probably got one kill when the player went afk figuring he'd be safe to go grab a cornetto as you very slowly deal damage to him with magic. :P And this is old school where magic damage isn't even boosted by pots.

Haha same kind of thing here. I personally don't mind the extra questing, but 95% of my enemies in the wilderness are going to be other pures. If they're also limited to miths I don't really lose or gain an advantage. I hope they give regen brace good stats though (and don't make it a corp drop) so we have a very expensive training item with +1 strength over our mith gloves. It would give onyx some more purpose than furies (and gimmicky zerk necks). We don't even have imbued rings... edIt: ughhh no theme worlds? Are you crazy? There are only like 40k OS players at any given time. All that happens now is players assign unwritten theme worlds but the majority of people aren't aware so you get 1 or 2 noobs unsuccessfully trying to play a minigame on every world, and many that just give up on the activity out of frustration.

Anti-scroll is obvious. People don't personally use it thus they're against it. It's why the polls are not good for the community as a whole. Too many of us are incredibly selfish or live in a bubble, we can't expect good results to come from a 75% required poll when it comes to any content that is specialized in any way. I personally have never used the scroll in the past but now i think about it i often put my keyboard away when not talking to people, and using only the mouse would be way more convenient than finding the keyboard to move the camera slightly :P. I don't understand why it's even put to a vote.

I'm aware you can "hit" a 0. Say your max hit is 29, you have a 1/30 chance of each number including 0 on an accurate hit. This is why at extremely low strength levels you still tend to hit a lot of 0's with high accuracy. So this slim chance is probably those. Ergo you do need to hit accurately to apply poison.

Huh, never knew this. Sucks bad for pures... Lol at Elvis and Mod MMG.

Haha that mod mat thing is the perfect example of what I was saying earlier about people picking sides on pures vs not pures. Someone argues the case for addy glove pures and "why don't you eradicate pures" comes out of the woodworks. I love it.

If i hit something with a DDS will it 100% absolutely be poisoned, or is there a chance of poison with each hit? Does it work if i hit 0? Just stuff I've never bothered learning before..

It's still not perfectly clear to me. It sounds like these new worlds will be completely f2p restricted worlds, not just member worlds that have f2p limits in the wilderness. Which is fine I guess as they'll be brand new worlds, but it's an important distinction they're not very clear on.

As a pure I don't really mind either way about addy gloves or mith, my main enemies in PVP are pures so my limitations are also theirs. I do think pures should be able to go to ape atoll for any other reason (shops, training on gorillas, agility) though and find it kinda disturbing they specifically mention the gloves as the reason which will obviously cause the whole "pure vs none pure" war, which pures have no chance of winning 75%. Pathfinding improvement is desperately needed. Everything else is mediocre, although seeing messages while trading is pretty cool. Themed worlds would be good just to ensure everyone knows what world they should be in and improve the activity (such as get more people for pest control boats etc..) It's quite humorous they're adding the f2p worlds despite the first vote against it. I guess it was close enough and they probably honestly expected us to vote it and the poll to only be a formality.

All these barrows gloves are making me envious as a pure. I think I'll make a start on some easy quests just to get it all ready for when I finally become a rune/barrows pker. I remember having dragon gloves on my main for several months simply because I was too lazy to get the quest point requirement for the final fight. Barrows were a huge upgrade.

Actually edge is the one place DPS is not as important. Edge is all about surprise KO or teleport. It's places like 50 wild where you need DPS to kill your enemy before they kill you or escape. PVP DPS is a completely different thing to PVM DPS anyhow as it's all about forcing your opponent to eat which in turn stops them from attacking you, which in turn allows you hit them more. If you have no KO power you lose the ability to intimidate your enemy into eating. Seriously though, it all boils down to range being weaker than melee in every aspect and the range advantage being irrelevant as those that suffer from it will not often be eager to fight you. You can be a pest to hybrids using range and little else. Many players don't see that as a valuable asset.

It's relevant when the DPS is lower than what they heal heal, You can hit 30-30-30-30 ice barrage all day but they'll just gobble up shark brews faster. Farcast with mage = tele. Melees understandably don't fight farcasters. You can try lure with teleblock and entangle but don't kid yourself and call it a fight.

Are you doing some kind of DIY thing here? It'd be best to make cballs, sell the cballs, use the money to buy many more knives/chins. With your options, knives would be best for slayer.

Not worth tribridding when you can just mage Rex for better trips. Many players only use cannon when bridding here anyway. Range is objectively poor at barrows, melee has much better DPS on Ahrim and Karil, mage has much better on the melee bros. Literally useless. Range is great for fight caves but it's easy to do with high mage, and actually fastest/cheapest with melee. It's a 1 time thing for the majority of players so not exactly worth training range for a slight advantage in. And mage has no KO power for pvp. Your opponent will just tele or run away when out of food. Assuming he doesn't simply get a combo on your weak expensive robes and kill you with DDS.

"Building a computer is hard" says people that have NEVER TRIED. It's very simple. Sit down for an hour and TRY. It's very straight forward. There are billions of guides. You can pay people to do it for you.

Yeah that's what I mean, a mid level account. A zerker would destroy you in a simple 1v1 edge fight (After teleing away from you a few times), but in higher wildy you have a good chance of killing hybrids and anyone stupid enough to be that deep with only melee, as you have best PVP DPS at that stage if you get out of melee range.

Hedge is completely correct actually. Range is great for PVP on certain mid level builds, but on maxed pures OR maxed mains, melee is much better. Imagine having 99 attack strength defense and magic. Why would you ever use range? Not only is it lower DPS, it has much lower KO power. A 70 dragon bolt looks good but remember a DDS hits over 40-40 rapidly. Granite maul combos hit well over 100. Dharoks axe hits over 70 more reliably than the bolt. Range's only purpose in the late game is to dark bow rush, and this is less effective than granite maul rushing anyway. (Nobody seriously fights far casting tribrids FYI so it's a moot point unless you're luring)

Yeah I agree. I got basilisks the next task after burphing wall beasts so I'll be going back there again. >.> I was hit with sheer panic when I considered the ability to burph difficult tasks may have been added later in the game or something, though, lol. It's not a big deal, but it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea to fix it with the same patches they did in the past. Nobody gains an advantage and nobody loses anything, it just removes a small inconvenience that only exists because of an oversight. I feel people always tend to "pick a side" when it comes to anything to do with pures and mains, and small stuff like this is fiercely contested by the other side as each thinks the opposite side is too privileged.

I disagree. The lower defense players can't kill the enemies so shouldn't be assigned them. They aren't gaining anything from this. Do you think players should be assigned cave horrors who have not completed the quest to access them? It's the same thing, isn't it? Not really, no. Cave horrors require a quest. 5 def doesn't require any quests. You obviously wouldn't get assigned infernal mages with 10 slayer. But if you had 45, you wouldn't get assigned them if you didn't do priest in peirl. Why are level and quest requirements different? Both are a goal a player could get but doesn't necessarily have to. Both have nothing to do with the slayer skill as a whole and have no right to completely disable a player from training it. My biggest objection is that it's literally impossible to even attempt killing wall beasts with 1 defense. Cockatrices and basilisks are very very difficult/annoying to kill without mirror shield (20 defense) but at least you CAN do it. If going to tureal wasn't an option I would have been forced to remain 40 slayer forever because I choose to play in a certain style that is unrelated to the slayer skill. It's quite clearly an oversight made by jagex that was patched in the main game once they realized the mistake.
