  1. Think about the positive side. When I tired of playing my "main" character, I used to create a brand new one. Now I can reset and keep my banks. Not too bad.

     

    Or if I want to create a PVP player, I don't have to start from zero, too.

  2. (For the sake of convenience, this article assume every player is rational)

     

     

    Player can buy bond with real world money, current price is $5.

     

    Player can trade bond with other player for in game items (e.g. coins).

     

    Player can trade bond for benefits such as membership / spins / runecoins, currently,

     

    1 Bond = 14 days of membership = 8 spins = 160 runecoins.

     

     

    First we can rule out the case which player buy a bond then trade for benefits himself/herself. Because all the benefits worth less than a bond.

     

    14 days of membership worth $2.77

     

    8 spins worth $1.77 ~ $3.99

     

    160 runcoins worth $3.07 ~ $4.00

     

     

    Therefore player would only buy bonds so that he/she can trade with other player, say a sum of coins, legitimately.

     

    If player can buy coins through illegitimate RWT, according to first 10 results search for "runescape gold" in google, currently,

     

    through RWT $5 = 11.5m (coins)

     

    on the G.E. bond = 6.6m falling

     

    If the G.E. rate is higher than RWT, player would definitely abandon RWT;

     

    While G.E. rate is lower than RWT, the difference is the cost of legitimation.

     

     

    On the other hand, in game coins are enormous. IMHO, 2m/hr is fairly easy, not to mention high lvl boss rewards.

     

    Trade in game coins for bonds is quite a good deal at current rate.

     

    Therefore I predict G.E. bond price will rise towards RWT rate.

     

     

    When G.E. bond price near the RWT rate, RWT rate will rise to keep alive, but G.E. bond price will rise again because money making is so easy.

     

     

    To conclude:

     

    I think Jagex's bond idea is clever. Because it turns players who are able to make in game wealth into the enemy of RWT. And the players' power should never be underestimated.

     

     

     

     

  3. Bonus XP Guide
    (updated on 2013-8-27)

    Some skills are slower or more expensive than others. Fortunately, there are also Bonus XP help player to go through the painful time. This guide lists Bonus XP that will apply to any skill of your choice.

    WARNING: Some items can’t be banked, and Jagex may not unlock all these Bonus XP for the new skill. Do your research before using the following methods.

    • Tears of Guthix
    • Penguin Hide and Seek
    • Troll Invasion
    • Ancient Effigy
    • Clan Avatar
    • Daily Challenge
    • Aura
    • Squeal of Fortune
    • Recruit A Friend
    • Quest XP Reward
    • Task XP Reward

    Tears of Guthix


    This weekly mini-game rewards XP to player’s lowest skill.

    Requirement:
    Completed the Tears of Guthix quest
    Gained either 100K XP or one quest point since last time played

    Recommend:
    Use games necklace for quick teleport
    80 Mining & 80 Crafting for ornate bowl
    Training the lowest skill level to 30 (or 50 if access to ornate bowl) for maximum XP
    Higher quest points for longer game time (0.6 second per quest point, capped at 3 minutes with 300 quest points)

    How to play:
    Player will collect blue tears while avoid green tears before timeup. Each tear rewards XP to the lowest skill equal to 6 times of that skill level, capped at 180 XP per tear, or 300 XP per tear if using ornate bowl.

    I usually get 180 tears within 3 minutes, that’s 32,400 XP or 64,800 XP with ornate bowl. Though ppl have claimed they can get up to 300 tears.




    Penguin Hide and Seek


    A weekly mini-game that seeks penguins for XP (or Coins).

    Requirement:
    None

    Recommend:
    Completed the Cold War quest for more points
    Completed the Hunt for Red Raktuber quest to unlock Polar Bear
    Completed the Some Like It Cold quest to unlock ghostly penguin (also require Ring of Visibility)
    Access to various areas and teleport methods.

    How to play:
    Join a good friend chat, such as w60pengs at World 60. Read the locations they posted on forum, interact in game. I usually take 15 minutes to find all penguins and polar bear.

    A player can get max 19 points per week, and save up to 50 points before trade in. Each point rewards XP to the skill of choice equal to 25 times of that skill level. For instance, a level 50 skill will get 23,750 XP from 19 points.

    Be careful not to trade in for coins!




    Troll Invasion


    Player will help Burthorpe guards defend against troll, and get Bonus XP for the first time play in each month.

    Requirement:
    None

    Recommend:
    Combat suit if choose fighting
    Lightweight gear if choose skilling

    How to play:
    I usually just choose 7-wave fighting, takes about 6 minutes. Skilling is a little more complicated, may takes up to 10 minutes, and may not get the full reward XP.

    The reward XP is based on player’s skill level and performance.

    Skill level / Bonus XP
    Lvl 30 / 7,520

    Ancient Effigy


    A rare monster drop used to be the answer to all skillings.

    Daily Challenge


    Here quotes from Tip.it General Guides: “Daily Challenges provide a large amount of bonus experience gained in the relative challenge skill, roughly equal to spending an equal amount of training time training in the most efficient ways.”

    Players can block maxed skills, so that they can focus on others. Only one challenge of each skill can be active at any given time, save up to five challenges.

    The lamp reward XP of your choice at once.

    Level / Small / Medium / Large / Huge
    30 / 473 / 946 / 1,892 / 3,784
    40 / 721 / 1,441 / 2,882 / 5,764

    The pendant can be transformed to any skill pendant which provides XP boost when worn. Normal pendant will increase XP gain by 50%. 10 small recharge gems can fully recharge a depleted normal pendant; Prized pendant will increase XP gain by 100%. 10 large recharge gems can fully recharge a depleted prized pendant.

    Player can no long transform the prismatic pendant to the one already had, even it’s destroyed.

     

    (2013-10-16) It's possible to transform the prismatic pendant to ONE skill again, After you "gain" the exp from a pendant then destroy it.

    Pendants contain the following XP:

    Recruit A Friend


    Recruit ppl by email, and if they subscribe membership, 10% of what they gained XP will be stored in recruiter’s Bonus XP Pool. Recruiter will gain XP at double rate until it’s used up. If recruiter and recruits are in the same world same place, Bonus XP will increase from 10% to 20%.

  4. put 4-5 basic, 3 threshold, 1-2 ultimate on action bar.

     

    use basic to build up adrenaline, use threshold for most damage, use ultimate to show off.

     

    use damage-over-time(Dot) ability first, e.g. dismember, fragmentation shot, combust

     

    use combo ability next, e.g. fury, snipe;

     

    use the least cool down ability whenever possible, time with auto-attack is fine. e.g. slice, piercing shot, tortrue

     

    use threshold ability whenever possible, in the order of Dot -> Combo -> Others

     

    do not stop circle between the abilities.

  5. When I trained construction, I left planks in bank. Then I just need to right-click demon butler and select take-26-planks-from-bank, build the door, and repeat. It's much easier.

     

    About the other questions:

     

    1. Hunter: try "Igneous-Carrion Combination", details in the mini-game guide. by the way, keep hunter exp higher than construction, so that you can gain construction exp in Tears of Guthix.

     

    2. Firemaking: try Jadinko Lair. combined with woodcutting, it's best exp.

     

    3. Agility: lamps, d&d...

     

    4. Smith: Artisans workshop is fine.

     

    5. Mining: pre-eoc is 60k/h. if you are in a decent clan, could be 80k/h with mining ring. post-eoc should be faster if dropping function well.

  6. so far I know (correct if I'm wrong):

     

    1. kinship ring (berserker) works on spear;

    2. the only difference between spear & 2h sword is attack style (stab vs. slash);

    3. more boss are weak to stab than to slash.

     

    In that case, spear is superior to 2h sword, right?
