Powerfrog

Thanks for the tips guys. One question though. 'Do a few specs before you kill' Do you mean it's possible to spec corp, leave, spec, leave, spec... And it will lower his defense? I've always assumed this would be boosted back to normal just like his HP, but i have no idea truthfully. By the way i tried and failed miserabley in karils for a quick test :P Since then i've bought ganodermic and if this spec thing works, it should be a lot easier.

Since when does anyone team bandos anymore? Nowhere in your posts did you include tnat information so of course we're going to assume its solo which Ktop is better for. Teaming is awful cash/xp (I've heard it can be ok for effigies) so that should have been noted in your original post. Well every time i go to bandos, on none ls worlds, theres already someone there. Instead of spending half an hour looking for a free world i just compete with the guy already there, or hop once of twice if i get a comp cape torva steel titan opponent or something equally overpowered :P. Many people that have high level offensive properties do the same, it actually works out as considerably better money/effigies than a full solo, assuming you're decently above your opponent(s) and use the correct methods. Also, not everyone is maxed. Bandos duo is a very good money maker for level 110~s that don't have access to alternatives that higher levels do. Anyway. Even if it was 'obvious i meant for solo only', i'm bringing up the team issue now. So. Is karils still better for duo? How about trio?

I personally used veracs/torags and prayed mage. This lets you successfully tank k'ril's melee hit, the range minion and the melee minion, while fully protecting against the magic k'ril and mage minion. Note that his melee attack often breaks through your prayer, which gives even more reason to use this method. Torva would obviously be better. Not sure if bandos is worth the defense loss. Claws would be the best special option, but dragon dagger isn't as rediculous as you'd think, with a dragon defender it's fairly accurate on k'ril.

Thanks for the information guys, but i still can't see how karils would be better than a melee top unless you're solo. If there were 3 people in the room, you only take 1/3rd of the mage damage, while you take 100% of the range hits regardless of people in the room. Soon as graardor is dead, if minions are on you, you pray mage anyway, so it would actually be better to have greater melee/range defense at this point too. So you tank the melee and ranger better, you tank graardors range attack better, and you only take mage damage while the boss is alive. (Not very long with 3 people) I'm obviously talking about tanking, which you should always do when crashing, to get the first hit in.

Small update: Got bandos hilt and 1 effigy from bandos solos. I have not been bossing much lately as IRL stuff has been getting in the way. I should make a lot more progress starting tomorrow though.

You wear karils at bandos. I've always assumed this is because his range attack is mage based? So would ganodermic be the best tank body there? K'ril. There are two setups i know, pray melee in mage gear, or pray mage in melee gear. Which is best? Including the new ganodermic equipment. I've asked a few people why they wear karils at bandos and they say to tank the mage minion, which sounds bizzare to me, sacrificing a melee body for graardors hypothetical range attack in their minds, to tank a much weaker minion. I'm guessing it's originated from something else and they, like i, just wear it because everyone else does?

If the 'risk isn't worth the danger' (I think you mean reward) then don't bloody do it then. Otherwise do it and stop moaning about it. The whole point of the wilderness is that it's a dangerous area that you will likely die in. That's why they put the revs in when the wilderness died. They want it to be tough on you. Waiting this long to wipe out bots and then doing it in one massive swoop is the core reason there are so few players today. When it was younger it could have regrown over time and be a more popular legit playerbase. But instead, i fear runescape will die before we hit 300k players online ever again.

Thanks i'll add those to the list. I didn't list them because i don't have them unlocked yet so forgot they existed. But i'll definatley be getting 270qp for TDs anyway so it's silly not to get these while im at it. Also as a miniupdate, today is the first day i'm actually going to boss kill. I posted the thread late last night so didn't do any RS. I'm also going to keep track of all the effigies i get, seeing as they're a pretty valuable none specific boss drop.

According to the bestiary, the chaos elemental does not drop any of the wilderness armors. I'd also add steam staff to the list under Kril Also, good luck! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Thanks. Knew i was forgetting something. And i've already put dragon 2h in the none specific part, as both KQ queen and the elemental drop it. I will only be going for one, no matter which boss drops it.

The title says it all. I kill bosses a lot and i've decided that i am going to get every single boss specific drop on the list. I have obviously already had several boss drops since i started runescape but those will not count towards this goal. We're starting fresh. Guidelines: I sometimes have to team bosses and if i coinshare and get a share of a drop it WILL count towards the total. If i lootshare and a team member gets the drop it will NOT count. By boss specific drops i mean something that the boss is well known for dropping. I will get boots, chest plate, tassets and hilt from Graardor, but i will not get the noted stack of 27 earth talismans, because really, who cares about that? Drops that can be dropped from multiple bosses will be aquired, but only 1 of the item, and it doesn't matter which boss drops it. I will update the thread whenever i get a boss drop or any other news of note. I am starting this journey at 129 combat and with about 50m bank, but by the end i aim to be 138 and incredibly wealthy! Note that i will not be keeping all items that i loot. I will likely be selling them to purchase better gear and levels. All drops will be screenshotted and added to the thread though. My adventurer's log is set to public if you require further proof. All the bosses in runescape and the loot i currently have!

Update 1: I have just created this thread and listed all the notable bosses and drops that will feature in this epic quest. I probably made a bunch of errors or missed out a boss/drop. If you want to point out some of my mistakes i'd really appreciate it. I'd also like to hear your opinions on the thread format and if you think it could be improved. Also tell me what you think of this (crazy) goal!

I've always played the game for fun, and it just happens that to do what i love the most, kill bosses in a number of different ways i need 1). Very high combat stats 2). Stats needed to unlock combat related things (quest requirements etc.) and 3). Lots of money to pay for these stats and equipment. The training makes a nice break from bossing when it gets a little old, and also moves me closer to doing the next boss. The bossing pays for the training and equipment. Farming? Oh you mean "Get 65 to start this quest then forget it exists...ing?" Yeah. That's fun too. :unsure: (Note that completionist cape, giving the best stats, technically is in this list. It's hard to say if the time is worth the benefit but if i havn't quit by then, it'll be something to do when i get bored of bossing.)

I think it's a little silly they've blocked some combat helping auras from working in pvp, and now have some that do. Kind of unfair to people that don't have the points to waste but want to pk. I'm very interested in the berserker and master knock out aura. Berserkers boosts strength and attack but lowers defense. It takes 5 hours to recharge and only lasts for 10 minutes. I'm guessing this DOES stack with potions, seeing as it's so expensive and only lasts for such a short period of time. Will be very interesting for challenge bossing (Such as solo corp at low levels etc.) Knock out aura just for training or slaying or money making on relativley low hp creatures, if the minimum point where it activates is fairly high, could become a reliable 1-2 hit aura.

If you don't boss (WHY?!?) just make 3k of extreme attack and extreme strength, as you'll be using these for slayer and general killing. And a couple more extremes and overloads for those rare cases where overloads are prefered on a slayer task. But personally i'd make 2k of attack and strength extra, and then make all overloads for the rest and start bossing. It sounds like you havn't gave it much of a chance and it can be very fun and rewarding.

95 prayer 91 herb (ovls in bank) 99 strength 95 attack 87 defense 95 magic 80 range 83 summoning I just want one kill, to say i've done it. Currently have about 40m bank. I wanna know if you think it's possible, what gear to use, what inventory to use and any other special bits of advice. I'd really rather not buy a SWH or VS. (I don't have dreadnips but i can get them if absolutley needed, wanting to quest first so i get all bosses done in the first 500 kills, but no biggie.)

I've been renting MW3 for 2 months now simply because i'm too lazy to send it back and order another game, i think i've played it three times. Was tempted by all the skyrim hype but it looks like hype is all it is, looks like every other bethesda game from the past 5 years to me. And i really don't have the patience for that game, i'll just turn it on, get thrown into the air by a giant a few times and shut it off. I'm thinking about buying super smash brothers melee. That is my favorite game of all time and i could play it for hours. (I have brawl, not so fond of it.)

If I died, then it wouldn't have bothered me. I never took the time to "hunt" for these gloves, they were just a bonus to my drop, so they had little value to me. I'd like to add, if you see a dot on a mini map, then just let the greater demon attack you. The area isn't multi combat, so if you're already in combat, you'll be fine. I believe they changed wilderness mechanics so that players can attack you and you stop fighting the npc, not 100% sure on that though. Yes they can. And that's part of the problem, as you'll be in constant combat if someone appears, they have a full 10 seconds to KO you. Best option would be to tele as soon as you see them, but it could be too late as one range/mage attack will kill you at that hp

Revs drop them (altough it seems extremely rare) and if he pk'd a lot he probably has lots. I still have about 20 in my bank and i've been activley using them lol.

My main issue wasn't the cost, but the gloves themselves. If you're at 30hp and someone spots you, you're going to die. If you're at 900hp with food and teleports you can probably escape and keep the gloves. But honestly, when i get a pair, i'm definatley dharoking, it's awesome.

I suggested that before, this reply might interest you: I think that's a little strange as any aspect of runescape could be counted as gambling, really. Duel arena? No skill involved, just as bad as betting on horse racing. Opening impling jars? Just like scratch cards. The moment you kill a creature with a rare drop? Just like the lottery. I'm pretty sure they do NOT need a gambling license to allow players to gamble RSGP, as it holds no real world value. (The black market value is obviously ignored as it's illegal) There are a number of "children's" games that have gambling aspects, kingdom of loathing being a prime example. Just as something is luck based doesn't make it "Gambling" Gambling in the legal sense is specifically about placing some form of money against an outcome of some form of game of chance/skill in which you are not an instrumental part (eg poker, blackjack etc you play but the dealt cards are the cards. You're being there doesn't alter that.) and the house giving out/keep money based on the outcome. Of course gambling in the broad sense includes many other things, but in legal terms it is the process of placing a bet agaisnt an outcome. Duel Arena does come close, but as its you vs another player and not agaisnt "the house" it's not Gambling in the legal sense; which is what they want to avoid due to legal things. Note: I am differentiating Gambling from gambling. I understand your logic here, but i still don't believe jagex would break any laws if they implemented it into the game, as RSGP holds no real life value. A good alternative, the exact thing KOL does and gets away with, is player vs player gambling, where the house takes a small cut. The money goes into the pot in advance, the cut is taken, the coin is flipped, the winner is paid. 50/50 odds for both players and jagex destroy 5%.

This is priceless. 'they tele/run if you're not using/doing what they want.' You do realise that tele/running is doing something that you don't want, and using a pneck or other unfair things can be ranked just as bad. Now who's the hypocrite.

Dharoks is a good option. But being in the wildy with 50hp isn't the smartest move. :P

I'm just looking for a corp FC to join. I have overloads, turmoil, zerk (i), fcape, bgs, zspear, karils... Ideally the clan will be coinshare, but this is not vital. I can probably get 130cb in a few days if you're really picky, but currently my offensive stats are quite high (85 def and 83 summ bringing me down)

I do pretty much this but swap the overload for extremes, overloads do not help much and the cost isn't worth it. (As a rule of thumb, only use overloads when you'll be brew healing) Everything else he says is dead on, although you'll often have trips of 15 minutes or less at your levels with rapier. Food is not important at all but as he says you'd be wise to bring 3-4 sharks just incase you make a mistake. Soulsplit flick to heal. It's pretty good stable money (2m profit/hour with tort) but it's certainly not the best thing you can do at your level.

Effigies are based on the creatures combat level alone, so using the forumla every other creature shares, The chance of recieving at least one effigy from 1 level-280 monster is around 0.53%. 1/188.6 I have no idea what the killspeed is as i've never tried it.
