Well, PvM sure is a lot easier in GWD now. Did a few 4h trips duo in bandos and multiple solo 2h trips in zammy - no problem. trio 4h in Armadyl and a solo 1h in sara. I would say that there is a big difference DPS wise how you use your abilities (taken from my personal opinion in over 20 hours bossing so far in EOC) For example, in a duo bandos situation, sometimes when you're dealing decent damage with regular abilities, it is best to build up to 100% and then use ultimate. Mostly though when you're not dealing enough DPS with regular it is best to use one or two thresholds before finishing boss with your ultimate abilities. In a solo zammy situation, mostly you are better off building to full adrenaline, then using ultimate (metamorphysis or however it is spelt), then quickly building to threshold (asphyxiate). I like the new combat, because now it actually requires you to think and line up your abilities correctly. Had a lot of fail crashers coming at us in Bandos, but since we had our abilities up correctly, they all left after a few tries. Not to say that some things need to be changed, for example, I personally think wands are a bit too overpowered compared to 2h staves(or chaotic staff is underpowered?). Otherwise it is all good, I would like to state again, that I am very happy that my thinking ability gives me a distinct advantage in PvM, at least for now – until we have guides for everything and everyone can find the best combination of fansites.

For all my abilities I use 1, 2, 3, 4, q, w, e, a, s, d. That way I can mash all my abilities and f keys with one hand. I never use the arrow keys anymore, so I find it very easy to play EOC. For those who don't know how to rotate your screen like a boss

As I think I mentioned at some point (or maybt it was in PM to a friend when the ban first happened), the name recognition is the death of them. Jagex locking these FC's is easily going to put them out of business. The problem is that the owner of Fishy is a smug little [wagon] who thinks he's above the rules so he likes to act like he's kingshit in front of Jagex. Problem is his whole clan relies on his social manipulation tactics on YouTube to get betters, and that makes it easy for Jacmob to find his newest FC every time it opens. He's fighting a losing battle. I am glad they are putting them out of business, if only they could show the same kind of determination with actual bots.

That awesome FPS!

When I was last there like 5 days ago, as soon as I made healers aggro on me. They stopped healing Jad.

That was also my reasoning for trying out trio dg. But actually as it was 3:3 not 3:1, it really wasn't much faster and realistically, it couldn't have been much faster because of more difficult GD's and bosses. So far after the update I have done 40 floors: 1-17;26-30 c6 1:1 small 18-25 c6 3:3 small 31-40 c6 1:1, medium So far I am yet to see even t7 items. Regular boss drop is t3-5. So even though my sample size is not that large, I'd say that hunting for t11 gear in c6smalls is not viable.

Ok lemme see if I can help you out a bit: - I would suggest 1 super restore for every 3-4 sara brews - tortoise to bunyip with the box sounds great once tort is empty - broad bolts will probably do fine so unless you have easy access to diamonds don't bother with them - Ancicent vs SOA: well, it will make boss fight quicker but it doesn't really matter that much as far as completing the caves goes, if you have time before EOC, get SOA, if not, just do on ancients. - Have atleast 2 slots open in your inventory for invulnerability and restoration (i like to keep 3 open spots so I can use magic crystal on melee waves) - melee leggins - if you got them great, if not, no big deal imo. - make sure to check out smokey9112 guide on youtube about boss fight. If you follow that, you should be able to do the boss easily. The main mistake people make is that they don't realise that while the head is gone they can sit in a corner with only one attack style tentacle attacking without taking any damage. So they end up getting blasted from all sides and getting hit on a lot. (that's the mistake I made on my first 2 attempts, luckily for me I had a shitton of brews to spew, so i still completed it) I guess that's all, hope you get it done before eoc rolls around :) Also on a side note: Screw you and your good luck on wyre corpses and other drops, all i got from 500 corpses was [bleep]-all. :D

I don't know a lot of people who haven't made projects on Tui. I have a shrine in my basement dedicated to the allmighty, but I have to keep it hidden, because my wife doesn't appreciate me raising shrines in honor of people who live in the upside down part of the world. She destroyed the shrine I had in the garden, so now i keep one hidden behind pickled cucumbers and potatos.

On the note of low floors c6-ing. Tested it out for shits and giggles yesterday, when im soloing c6 smalls i am getting around 18-20k xp/floor. at 5-6 minutes per floor. So Yesterday I wanted to check how the rates for 3:3 for low floors is - and that's where it's weird. I did floor 18-25 3:3 yesterday, averaging about 13,5-15k per floor. When i did floor 1-8 solo, i got 13,3k for f1 and 15k for f2 and the xp rates went over 20k for f25+. So it is actually more efficient to solo your low c6-s than trio them (not sure about duo) Which is kind of sad.

As long as you hit each of the healers once, they will be focusing on you, not healing Jad and you're good to go.

You should probably lure all healers and then focus on Jad again. One good option is to use blood barrage - that way the healers damage wont probably make you eat, because you get the healing from the hits you do on Jad. Definitely learn how to switch properly, it will help you a lot if you ever decide to do Kiln. It's worth mentioning that I did Jad 12 times before I got my first Fire cape... But I learnt to switch and thanks to that on my first 3 ever Kiln runs I got cape + 2 x gem, because I took the time to learn switching instead of just tanking in Gano. If you don't learn how to switch, you are gonna have a nasty time in kiln.

That list doesn't seem right. Can't find a lot of the higher lvled early runescapers there. I started with my first account account in 2001 spring. But I might be worng, I often am lately - the hardships of being old (well almost 12 yeas older than I was when i started this game...:D)

I need to do some serious charm collecting before EOC comes out.. I have a gut feeling that something is off here. I don't understand why they would rush it like this, I mean if anything, jagex is known to take things slooooooooooww, why the hurry now? The conspiracy theorist in me wants to yell out that something is wrong. Are they expecting a big player base loss in the near future which they think they can compensate with EOC? (say bot nuke please) If that was the cas,e then they could come out with EOC tomorrow for all I care.

Mad at all the claw drops. PVM is lovely indeed. GL on your challenge!

Grats! You're probably looking at the same droprate of boots that I have gotten then. I got 2xsteads, ragefires and glaivens in ~1300kills. SO depending if you're a glass half full or half empty type, it's about 300 or 400 kills to get 1 pair. :D

As far as I know Magic is not really good in any of the bosses. Melee is the way to go or for arma ranged. I might be mistaken, but I have yet to see a person with a PP or anything of the kind in GWD. IMO only place it could be useful was with Lunars for vengeance if tanking Zara specifically, but could be useful for other as well.

Yeah, it's most probably a situation of social engineering recovery. I was hacked while I was inactive also. Although I did not get as lucky as you did. Unfortunately since the fansite databases have been compromised in the past, it is easy to recver a player if he or she was inexperienced enough to use some of the same details on a fansite that one used with RS account. That's what happened to me anyway.

Hunter - red sallies Smithing - Artisan's workshop (a lot more than AFK than goldsmithing - about 2x expensive though) Thieving - I would look into PP also, that's what I am planning to do for 75-90

Personally I don't think it really matter. It just seems like maxxing only 1 skill or a few at a time is a lot easier than trying to max all. Personally I never had no intention of Maxxing, but as I wanted slay 99, in the proccess I got all comb stats 99, for monster hunting and dg I got summ and pray up, Now I am going for all 80 and then all 90+ At the moment I got constr and smith banked to get to 90+ and then I got disgusting skills like hunter and thiev left. So all in all, just do your favourite skills first, then slowly get others up gradually, make sure you switch it up betwene skills, otherwise it is easy to burn out.

If i was you I would skip wallasakis and combine str+ranged. Do familiarisation, set up your cannon in traverly and let her rip. There are bots there, but you will easily beat them and get some nice charms. Once you're ranged 99, move on to CT for black demons. I don't know about zerker pures, so I am guessing you don't have ROTM done, otherwise that would be by far the best option for mage traning and charm collecting.

77-80 construction 88-90 crafting 86-91 fletching 93-95 herblore 77-78 hunter 80-83 firemaking The lagg really sucked, I was planning on getting hunter from 77 to 80 minimum and thiev from 75 to 81, but the lagg was so horrific, that I could not really get myself to do that. All in all 7,3M xp in 21 hours of playing during double xp.

Personally - if you have time left over from your planks you should get hunter above 80. Below 80 hunter is so disgusting, so that's what I will definetly do

Personally all my lamps go into agility. Wouldn't concider anything else. IMO if you do any slayer or solo pvm you will get enough charms to cover your needs to atleast 96 summ easily. I just agility cause i really cbf to train that skill manually with all those better options to go about

Which is better DPS on corporal, ranged or melee? (gear wise I have between mid and high lvl gear for both)

No, he cannot. He does not have 120 dg and 99 in every other skill. oh. so only Maxed skill can be blocked? didn't notice that. yeah I can't even block combat, cause prayer is not 99, which s especially weird cause u don't get pray xp from combat challenges. :S Only skill i could block atm is slayer
