Miss Lioness

I've been trying this update and there are some things that I find problematic. The first thing I found problematic, for me, is getting the Keys. In the 2h+ I was there I have received not 1 single key at all trying all the Monsters that are there. The second thing is the reduction of the damage by 90% seems a bit too steep. Then again this could be easily solved, if I hit dammit >.> That is the 3rd thing. The level 150 monsters have a too damn high defense and I miss quite a lot. About 50% of the time or so it seems. Number 4 on the list is the bosses themselves. Well more the keys tied to the bosses. I would rather have 1 key = 5 bosses or something. Have us more of a prolonged stay instead of killing countless of hours for a key, I hear otherwise but going from my experience, to only kill the boss once? A boss that isn't even thaaat though. Then number five, the drop-rate of the Crossbow parts are rumoured to be 1/100. This might be less or more we don't know so I rather keep this under a sceptic eye. I would rather be more please with a 1/20 drop-rate if we remain at the 1 key = 1 kill. Then the assembly of the Crossbow is a bit weird... If one has Chaotics then these will stay put in the bank forever once one has obtained these T90 crossbow. I would rather upgrade the Chaotic into these Ascended Crossbow then using a T60 crossbow which is currently inflated up to 90mil at the time of this post. On overall you need to repeat this to get all 6 parts, then you need to have another 6 for the offhand. Seems a bit too long and drastic way to get, especially compared to drygores.

Their price in the G.E. has been pretty variant from 20-30m for the past few weeks, when did they jump up to 80m? 3 minutes after this update was released obviously. Btw, Mod Jack has asked in the feedback thread what would happen if chaotic were also usable... Would be also a good idea!

So dragon, or royal? It is appearentely Dragon Crossbow

Order of Ascension (members only) Beneath the Feldip Hills, a new terror rises. The Order of Ascension - a group of misguided Guthix followers - are responsible for a spate of kidnappings. Little else about them is known - except that they must be stopped. Ocellus - a Guardian of Guthix - waits at the ruined chapel north-west of Oo'glog. He's seeking skilled slayers to venture into the undergroundMonastery of Ascension and take the fight directly to the Order of Ascension themselves. The Order of Ascension is made up of magical beings - each one a force to be reckoned with. You'll need 81 Slayer to enter the monastery, but that's just the start. A high Ranged level and the best ranging gear you can use are essential against even the weakest enemies you'll encounter therein. Their combat skills have been honed over millennia, and so have their tactics. There are five types of enemies within the monastery, each with a different combat purpose: for example, the gladii are mid-range damage dealers who charge into combat and stun, while the scutarii are heavily armoured, defensive units. They'll work together, too: the rorarii footsoldiers will team up, each gaining increased damage when they do, while the capsarii will support their comrades with defensive shields and healing. Most dangerous of all, though, are the legiones. These six entities are the leaders of the order, and each is a mini-boss fight in its own right. They're found in six laboratories throughout the monastery, each of which requires 95 Slayer and a keystone - dropped by the monastery's other inhabitants - to gain entry. The fights are instanced, and you'll fight alone unless you're paired up with a Co-op Slayer partner, who will have the option of entering the laboratory with you. Note: you can bring a Co-op Slayer partner into the laboratories even if they don't meet the 95 Slayer requirement, as long as you do yourself and are carrying the necessary keystone. The Monastery of Ascension is the ideal place to make use of the Co-op Slayer feature, as the tactics employed by the order mean that it really helps to have someone along for the ride. For example, the scutarii take greatly reduced damage when attacked from the front or sides, so having someone to keep them busy while you deal damage to their backs is invaluable. Shared potions and food - not to mention a friend by your side - is sure to help when you're facing down the Legiones! The monastery's a dangerous place, but the rewards are more than worth it. You'll find lore-filled pages of a book entitled History of the Order, which will give you insight into how the order came to be. The Order of Ascension also drop Ascension fragments, which (with 60 Fletching) can be used to fletch fragment bolts and arrows - ammunition which is particularly effective against them. Best of all, though, are the components needed to create the Ascension crossbow - the most powerful ranged weapon in the game. It requires level 90 Ranged to wield, can be converted between main and off-hand versions by Ocellus, and is the only weapon that can fire the mighty Ascension bolts, which can be fletched from items also found on the monastery's inhabitants, and level 90 Fletching. It degrades, and is repaired in the same way as Barrows equipment - by NPCs such as Bob in Lumbridge, or at a player-owned house armour stand. For information on how to make the crossbow, speak to Ocellus. Enjoy! Mod Doctor and Mod Jack How to start: Duradel, Lapalok and Kuradal can each give out slayer assignments for Order of Ascension monsters. The entrance is within the ruined chapel north-west of Oo'glog, close to the Yanille lodestone. Requirements: RuneScape membership. Level 81 Slayer to enter the monastery. Level 95 Slayer to enter the laboratories and face the legiones (or a Co-op Slayer partner with that level). Level 160 Combat (in addition to 81 Slayer) to be given Order of Ascension slayer assignments. Behind the Scenes Video Take a tour of the Monastery of Ascension with Mod Doctor and Mod Jack: In Other News Keep your eagle-eyes peeled for some awesome ranger-centric items on the Squeal of Fortune this weekend: the white stag bow, the skirmisher armour, and fletching skill crates! Raw fish can now only be removed from a tackle box through a bank. The tackle box also has a new ability: you can teleport an amount of raw fish per day, directly from it to the bank. Finally, the tackle box now has options to deposit raw fish from it straight into the bank, and to empty raw fish into the inventory when viewing the bank interface. The area in which it is possible to teleport away within the Wilderness has been changed, to reflect how it was pre-Evolution of Combat. The level 20 area is now level 26 Wilderness, and the level 30 area is now level 40. More patch notes:

confirmed tomorrow in twitter

You heard wrong, they're the best mage xp. You heard wrong, there are also others that are more relaxed and still give very good exp! Bandos and Zilyana for example!

I made a perfectly viable suggestion a while ago. Balls in their court to step up to the plate and hit. Please tell us then what suggestion. Just saying you made a suggestion and then not telling what suggestion it is, isn't helping.

you missed my post =/

But... But... what about my suggested stats to get before members?

No, usually if you'll always end with more then you get in.

And that is why you bring in like 50k-60k bloods =D! I used up like 27k bloods at Zilyana during a 7 á 8 hour trip =/...

You're the boss >.>...

I agree and bet most of the rs community would agree. Tipit just has so many high-levels (which I would include myself in) that many barely remember training skills before 90. Sidenote: What happened to the XP-boost changing from last month? I don't remember actually seeing anything. Yeah, well to be fair it took me merele 14 months to get from low 60 base to 90 base and am now in 4 months only 3 base higher. However given I didn't play much past months =/.

Am I the only one here who still thinks that 80+ is considered high-level but due the lifespan of the game simply more players have reached this threshold and therefore is the availability to such content more common?

I can teach you some Sign Language =3!

Tier 65 would be decent I think. Would put it on par with Runite equipment! Remember it'll be classed as hybrid and as such have a 15 tier penalty so it makes it actually tier 50 but doesn't get any penalties! To be honest I would like to see Hybrid armours not only to have a defense requirement but also a range/attack/mage requirement.

If it's aimed at argument-free, what is this then doing in a DISCUSSION subforum? Isn't it the point of having an argument in a DISCUSSION subforum? It should otherwise be moved to questionnaires subforum if you are solely asking for opinions. The Bounty Hunter-concept was bad to begin with and if you are just looking for a fight, there is now the entire wilderness to roam and works pretty much the same, just you don't see the general value...

F2P do need to get new armours, just tier 50 isn't enough for something like Cockroach Soldiers..

Been confirmed minimum level for the Slayer Dungeon is 81 with minimum for bosses is 95. More about this " A new, secret treasure location will be added to the game world unlockable by players who piece together the three parts of the key, found through fighting high-level slayer targets and engaging with a variety of high- level skill content." Oh that part... Was thinking your refered to the Slayer Dungeon. In that case I hope skilling would be as viable of a method of getting them as would PvM... I think something in the lines of 80+ Slayer monsters.
