I have 11 of these xD Its a real shame they stopped the whip at 60... I would have loved to see 70 80 90 too... or use this item on a whip/vine whip to take on its appearance... I love how this item looks, but the stats are disappointing to a high level player

I was just using guthans on hellhounds for slayer, in combo woth korasi/defender slayer helm... as I have been doing forever... It was painful how innacurate the attacks were.
I decided to test out that Dharoks everyone is raving about (I bought 10 sets just cause they are rising like crazy, already made 20m) I knew from Dharoks in the past that it could hit hard... 40's 400's now 4000's But a combination of Hellhounds being weak to slash, my hp down to 1000 from 8000, momentum, and dharoks resulted in one hitting 75% of the hellhounds, 2 or 3 hitting the rest.
This system is insanely unbalanced, I was dishing out the same carnage with polypore staff, since its based on mage level and I was attacking an npc weak to Air spells.
It seems there is no middle ground between taking forever with something the npc is not weak to, and using its weakness... combo'd with things like dharoks, polypore, wands, dual crossbows... it just gets insanely out of hand.
I dont think they should nerf the OP items, but they should increase some npc's hp, as well as make it better for some other forms of combat. I found a few "secret" weakneses, like black demons were destroyed when I used polypore on them as well, but guthans/dharok/korasi/whip did nothing to them.
Though this belongs in the runescape suggestions now, lets just stick to adding a weakness slot, the player contributed updates to the bestiary could update changes rather quickly if jagex changed weaknesses around.

Lightning Staff 1
Damage: 771
Accuracy:10
Type: Earth
Speed: Average
Attributes:
none
Target Attacking
Melee: 10
Magic: 5
Ranged: 2
The damage MUST be due to my high combat skills, there is no way a lvl 1 staff is 771 damage for all players.
Also, its an earth type, but grants unlimited air runes.

Simple suggestion.
Make an option under advanced search to search for npcs with specific weaknesses.
For example:
Looking for npcs with a "stab weakness" or "Earth spell" weakness to train with a rapier or ancients. Searching would give a list of npcs with that weakness, and other variables of course, if chosen.
Very simple and would be useful with the new combat system.

Pumpkin Carving this year. (Submitted to players gallery too)
K'ril Tsutsaroth
Last year:
Just a dragon, thought I named it "Elvarg's Head" and ended up in the Player's Gallery ;)
The camera I used for K'ril is a real camera, Used my phone last year so the image quality sucks on the dragon. You can Zoom in on Tsutsaroth and see the actual blademarks though, much better.

Here is the stats and image of the lightning staff teir 1-4
First off, All four give unlimited Air Runes. All four can be changed to a different teir at any time, provided you have the stats. All four show "A crackling staff that aids magic combat." when examined. All four have an emote where you spin the staff above your head, then smash it to the ground to emit lightning. (reminds me of the RSC Saradomin Strike <3)
Teir 1 (Req. Attack: 1 Magic: 1)
Attack Bonus:
Stab: 0
Slash: -1
Crush: 7
Magic: 10
Defense Bonus:
Stab: 2
Slash: 3
Crush: 1
Magic: 0
Other:
Strength: 3
Attack Rate: Slow
Weight: 2.2kg
Magic Damage: +0%
Teir 2 (Req. Attack: 20 Magic: 20)
Attack Bonus:
Stab: 4
Slash: -1
Crush: 20
Magic: 10
Defense Bonus:
Stab: 2
Slash: 3
Crush: 1
Magic: 10
Other:
Strength: 20

Magic: 10
Defense Bonus:
Stab: 2
Slash: 3
Crush: 1
Magic: 10
Other:
Strength: 50
Attack Rate: Slow

Teir 4 has exact same stats as a mystic air staff except for the 5% bonus, which the air staff does not have. Which also means Teir 3 is an EXACT copy of a mystic air staff, with a different display.

Emote:
Teir 1-4 Inventory:
Totally worth $25... though I redeemed it for 950 Store points I probably use on bank space.

The End of Innocence?
I Haven't played RS in a few months, no money to buy memberships :<
I'm pretty sure when I left the game was about killing monsters and finishing quests...
Apparently on F2P populated worlds its about struttin' your stuff now.
I knew a Girl IRL who used to play Runescape, and would occasionally *hug* *kiss* in PMs in an attempt to leech rune Items every time I finished a clue (I randomly give away junk anyway). That alone made me uncomfortable because such things had no relevance to the game.
My opinion is we need to purge the inappropriate behavior going on on all the worlds, I can't even enjoy playing F2P anymore because of all the spammers, gold sellers, website advertisers, and now sex offenders roaming the populated zones.
The problem is due to free accounts and how easy it is to change your IP on a browser, it will be extremely difficult to ban these users for good.
Ip bans will not work due to siblings/roommate situations. (I started playing when my brother showed me the game back in 01)
If they limited account creation to once a day (to keep banned people banned) they could just pop in a proxy and come back.
Even a sophisticated automatic system for bans would be troublesome.
Accidently PM Wrong person: "Watcha upto sexy"

Q.Q
I was thinking of carving a Citidel into a Pumpkin :( I still might for halloween
I Don't think I'd beat teezkut with a pumpkin :P Really cool sculpting, I love to sculpt myself, but don't have the time to do all the detail it would require.
I'll post the pumpkin I do here :D but it would be 30th-31st so wouldn't be in time for the competition.
I was thinking of carving that, with an enlarged castle and a few dragon/bats flying around it :P
Similar to a haunted house style I carved 3 years ago, but with more detail cause my carving's improved! :D
Should be epic, Unless I fail horribly.
Fires in the pic would be carved straight through, the castle walls would be uncarved, and the background glowing through :P
Hardest part would be converting the picture into something carve-able... then drawing it
like that
I need an HD camera too, phones suck for detail
Anyway... that's all, Hope I can enter the next competition
Good luck to anyone trying to beat teezkut's awesome work

1 item in 18 chest is the long term average, you haven't included a guide for akriasae, i know it's not available to people just starting barrows =)
Not availible to me either >:0
That's why I stopped doing barrows... need 12 agility levels... like 3 more crafting
-
teleporting from the chest in the barrows to burgh de rott uses up a charge, unless you want them to run out of the maze to then teleport to burgh de rott?
wouldn't it be better to teleport to darkmeyer then go to altar thewn teleport to burgh de rott, rather than running to the spirit altar?
I use caiffs teleport then just click the gate, I have shortcut to nature spirit. then take nature spirit to barrows (exit grotto and it wont use charge)
Tried timing every step.
3 mins killing brothers, 5 mins in tunnels, 2 mins to pray/bank/tele back
If you want faster runs, don't need to get killcount, and you could shave off 3 mins a run :P
Also, if you want to use prayer pots, and get alot of runs, just bring prayer pots, use amulet to teleport from the chest to barrows. When you run out of gear, teleport to Burg De rott recharge the amulet, bank, and tele back to barrows.
Then you could do the whole run in 5-6 mins if you have good tunnels :P
But again, The guide is how to do it with Low costs and no food/potions, I know there are faster and more effective ways, but they are more expensive too :P There are alot of noobs who want a Budget way to do things, and not lose any money before getting an item.
Also, Since I made this guide, I was lucky enough to get Karil Coif and AH top :) I stopped counting how many runs, but probably 25 in total before I stopped... Usually 1 item per 10 rounds sound about right?
-
Well again, I developed a strategy different from the posted Tip.it Guides
Required items!
Guthan set
Staff of Light
Whip (or better wep) + DDS (or better special)
Drakan's Medllion (MUST for fast trips)
Temple Trekking Enough for shortcut to nature spirit grotto
It combines the "Advanced Tank" and "Ancient Magicks" Methods kinda... with alot less gear swapping and no food or prayer, and alot less expensive.
Gear Setup
Aura: Reverence (optional, but helps if you have low prayer)
Helmet: Guthan's Helm
Cape: God Cape
Necklace: Arcane Stream - Arcane Blast - Arcane Pulse - Fury - Glory
Body: Guthan's Body
Legs: Guthan's Chainskirt
Shield: TOME OF FROST - Unholy Book - Armadyl Book - Book of Balance
Gloves: Barrows - Dragon
Boots: Ragefire - Wizards boots - Mystic Boots
Ring: WEALTH
Weapon: Staff of Light (magic) + DDS (melee special) + Abyssal Whip (Melee normal) + Guthan Warspear (Melee Heal)
The goal is to get the HIGHEST possible Magic boost with Guthan armor Equipped
Inventory:
Spade
Runes to cast the HIGHEST ice spell you have access to
Laws + Bloods for Caniffs Teleport
Emergency Food
Emergency Prayer
Weapons your not using currently
Time to Complete 1 Run: 10 min
Strategy:
Barrows Brothers:
Kill in this Order
Ahrim + Karil First:
Use the DDS and Whip to quickly dispose of these 2 brothers, you should have enough pray to get through them both unharmed, if not, use an emergency dose/food item
Dharok:
This is the only brother that is REQUIRED to block behind the Crypts. Use your ice spell to freeze him, count how many spells hit, and run to the other side of the crypt when he is about to unfreeze. (you may want to test blocking the non lethal barrows brothers first, dharok can hit very high)
Guthan, Torag, Verac:
These three are very easy, Freeze, step to the side, continue shooting until the brother is frozen again, and step to the side... repeat until dead. You should lose little, if any Lifepoints on these npcs.
The tunnels:
If your tunnel is Ahrim, or Karil, then you will need some strategy, mainly trying to kill as fast as possible to minimize damage, prayer is not recommended in the tunnels due to fast drain rate. If you find yourself low on lifepoints, exit through a door, and kill the tunnel npcs for lifepoints.
The Tunnels is where you heal, Killing the lesser npcs with guthan's to get killcount to 10+ (my usual count) and healing to full HP before and after the brother encounter. Once you kill the brother and get your kill count up, loot the chest.
After each trip:
Teleport to Caniffs
Bank any loot
Run to entrance to swamp, you will end up at the Nature Grotto, where you refill Prayer
Use Medallion to teleport to Barrows
You should use no charge on the amulet, and will be back in the barrows area in under 2 minutes.
- Repeat as necessary
EXAMPLE of cost:
10 trips I lost:
0 food (0GP)
0 prayer potions (0GP)
909 Water Runes (7272GP)
302 Blood Runes (74594GP)
0 Death Runes (0GP) - 508 MORE than I started with actually
20 Law Runes (3200GP)
Total Loss 85066GP
Gained:
0 Barrows Items (0GP)
363 Bolt Racks (53724GP)
2346 Mind Runes (9384GP)
1625 Chaos runes (56875GP)
508 Death Runes (98552GP)
0 Blood runes (0gp)
5x Prayer potion (2) (6920 GP)
3x Super Defense (2) (228GP)
2x Restore pot (2) (52 GP)
Total Gain 225735GP
Profit 140,669 GP
I ended up with more Death runes than I started with, Death rune profit alone was more than I lost with this method.
It combines the best Qualities of every Barrows method, you can call it the "Hybrid Method" a system that ALWAYS leaves you with profit! Even "Junk" Items from the chest provide you with more runes and GP than you started with.
This is the ONLY Barrows method I use now because it is quick, effective, and yields the best profit.

I would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who attended to this drop party! :D
I would also like to thank Cowman_133 for helping me bring attention to the Event by posting it on the announcement! :)
I think this Event turned out quite well! While there wasn't hundreds of people attending, there was still quite a bit of people, but most important, it was very fun! :)
The most frustrating part though, was going to the party room in Seers. I decided that we were going past Karamja rather than past WWM, and taking the boat from Brimhaven took quite a while.
insaneDemNS was dropping hundreds of Rune Items, and the drop party was going on for hours! I am sure most of the people who went to the drop party was having lots of fun, that is most important!
I am hoping this Event has brought in more people to RuneScape Classic, and I am hoping for the RuneScape Classic community to grow! It looked quite promising that we did brought people into RuneScape Classic, as we got very positive feedback regarding the drop party, specially.
As promised, as well, if there will be another reopening, we promise to make more of these Events.
Leaf, sorry to hear you gave up going to Seers, going to Seers required quite a bit of patience.
Leaf did make it to the party, He missed the first dropparty, someone did trivia asking about himself! >:o I got nothing there either
I poked leaf when insane started dropping, and he got a buncha items :D I gave him some too i think, so he didn't miss the big drop :D
Last dropparty I went to in RSC I got a santa and D med tho :P
-
:D I missed d med... and bloods Q.Q
But I got everything else lol
Also gave away more than I kept :P
Fun fun fun! TY insane and Tip.It
-
wow it's impossible to get over the white wolf mountain without dying to the wolves.
Boat from Port sariam - Karajama
Walk to brimhaven
Boat from brimhaven - Ardougne
Walk to seers
Costs 60GP

Funny how many people have no idea how RSC works.
You only need Regular Runescape membership to attend this. (you will also be eligible for a Classic cape in rs2 JUST for logging into rsc today)
Also!
How to Log on RSC!
1. Click Game Guide - Manual'
2. Click Miscellaneous Guides
3. Click Runescape Classic
4. Click "Click here to play Runescape Classic"
5. Scroll down, hit World 2
:D
I don't think I'll be going after many of the Drops, I don't need much rune, maybe one of those tasty ammies :P But If I see a Party Hat watch out!
I'll go to Draynor about 30 mins before and yell Dropparty in seers!
(Will the dropparty be at the begining? or towards the end? If it starts in Lumbridge I assume it will move west to draynor, then keep going under fally, through the gate and across the mountain to Catherby... and finally into seers)
I can teleport :) So I'm just wondering when to advertise lol
-
Erm... best thing i can think of is clay :P I'd like to make a Cake version of a citadel... I even have a clear platform to make it look like its floating! but that would probably go bad before i was done :(
Might do clay... or some other sculpture... Spent 90% of my Senior year in Highschool taking art and wood tech courses... had to have some effect :)
Problem:
My clan has 1 member (me) and I've never seen a Citadel :D
-
I'd highly recommend placing a cannon down on your first trip. When you die the cannon will stay there and you can simply run up with 30 cannonballs each trip, fill the cannon, unload your specials, die, repeat.
WARNING: YOUR CANNON WILL ATTACK OTHERS FAMILIARS, SKULLING YOU.
I occasionally solo there in normal gear (c maul + cheap stuff) and get 20+ kills a trip, i don't really see the purpose of rushing at it unless you're very low level and can't survive using conventional means, but if you are, this is pretty awesome.
I'm level 118, friend 109.
When we kill it together, only takes 1-2 rounds, if all 4 of our specs hit well, we could kill it without losing hp.
Never tried cannon, but if you die with it, if you skull, does it drop? Or does it return to the dwarf cannon guy. If it drops it sounds risky, you skull, and even with protect you would only keep 1 piece.
I don't have chaotic weps (HATE DUNGEONEERING) the point of rushing it is every time you die, you get full hp, full prayer, full special attack, full run and spawn in Edgeville. So it takes under a minute to run back to the elemental, and you deal more damage using the special attacks + potion + prayer without worrying about running out of food, running out of prayer, or even pkers because your planning to die.
I'm a noob at heart... I like doing things that don't cost me anything with potential for large profits. (combat potions (4) are 30gp ea, that's my only expense per elemental)
-
There is no information on how to solo the Chaos Elemental, where it is fairly easy to do so.
Constructed a guide for this, was not sure where I was supposed to post it so posted under general guides.
http://forum.tip.it/topic/301155-how-to-solo-the-chaos-elemental/
The risk level of soloing is also much lower, as the only way you could lose items is accidental skull.
-
Risk Level - Lower than traditional methods
I was clue hunting in the wilderness when I stumbled into the chaos elemental. Having already gotten my next clue, and not risking any items (clue/Sara Sword/spade) I attacked the pUre a cHaOs of crEatuRe with hopes of somehow 1 hitting it, or getting a quick trip to edgeville. While only hitting the boss once with melee, the special attack dealt nearly 500 damage, along with the melee hit I reduced the elemental's total hp by 1/4.
Few runs back and I slain the beast, picking up over 1k in chaos runes I knew I was onto something. I finished my clue and continued to slay the chaos elemental on my own, soon running into another Kamakazee player Off 2 hell4u
Here is what we came up with after combining eachother's strategies.
My original setup:
Saradomin sword
Ring of Wealth
Knock out Aura (unconfimed if this actually works)
His original setup:
Dragon claws
Amulet of fury
potions
Best Known Setup:
Dragon Claws
Ring of wealth
Aura (if they work on boss npcs) or Barrows gloves (if aura doesnt work or is running out)
Combat potion (protect item)
I would say ring of wealth is a must, unsure if jennica's ring would increase ancient armor drop rate, as the chaos ele isnt a revenant?
Other notable weapons:
Dragon dagger (far less accurate than claws unfortunately)
Godsword, Saradomin sword, or zamorakian spear
Abyssal whip (can be used with dds, or use whip spec which is more accurate)
Crystal bow
Any other weapon that has highly accurate/damaging special
STILL I tried all of these, none compare to the D claws efficiency
Strategy:
Deal as much damage as possible, Die, Repeat.
seriously that's the plan :D
Steps:
1. Bank in edgeville, select your weapon and 2 other items + combat potion (OVERLOAD would be even better)
2. Select quick prayer/curse (Magic protection, best melee boost available to you, protect item (if you have 4))
3. Use the lever located south of the Edgeville bank
4. Slash the web and run east while turning on weapon special attack and taking a sip of your potion (activate your aura if you haven't already)
5. Turn on your quick prayer and attack using special attack first!
6. Die
7. Repeat until the elemental is dead, then choose to bank loot, or attack again.
Average kill:death ratio 1:4.5 1 elemental for every 4-5 deaths
Teaming (not soloing anymore... call it 3-iteming... or Kamikaze killing, sounds cooler)
This is unnecessary, but can reduce number of times you die per elemental by half or third (if you have 2 friends)
The setup for gear is the same, however attacking is slightly different.
You want to wait near the elemental (out of attack range) until all of your party members are there. Then surround the elemental and use your special attacks, this will cause the boss to spin, and attack less.
besides that, its the same thing, attack, die, run back.
Pros to soloing:
1. no risk of items being lost (unless you skull) (opposed to VERY HIGH risk mentioned on monster hunting guide)
2. very little cost per run (only combat potion)
3. VERY little competition on no lootshare worlds (occasional ranger)
4. all loot is yours!!!!
5. potential for rare armor/weapon drops! (vesta sword 42m)
6. Every death spawns you back in Edgeville with Full prayer, hp, run, and special attack.
7. No fear of Pkers, your planning to die each trip, so not risking any items.
Cons:
1. ALOT OF RUNNING
2. if you dont have d claws, or cannot afford them, it takes more runs to kill
3. lots of junk drops make this get old fast! (took about 20 kills for first revenant drop, Corrupt dragon med)
Credits to Myself (Ibcrootbeer) and my friend (Off 2 hell4u) for developing this setup.
-
+1 for bury all... I'd like it for myself cause Dung makes my eyes bleed I still haven't saved enough points for frost tome... and I REALLY want that for ancients... I hate killing dragons, getting 20 bones then clicking each one... (i want bonecrusher too)
Side note, Just think! If they added more to f2p, they could say it takes 10000 hours to complete! hows that for advertisement!
I logged on f2p for about 10 mins the other day, trading with a friend, I reported 15 people at the GE just to ignore them long enough to hear my friend speak... then more showed up...
moar f2p mods plz?
cant be hard to find some f2p merchers who hang around GE... thats where I saw 99% of RWT bots

God Statutes
in Completed Website Corrections
Posted
I was able to figure out the locations for each statue correctly :3
Taverly - Juna - Guthix - Awards Prayer and Construction Exp.
Caniffs - K'ril Tsutsaroth - Zamorak - Awards Slayer and Construction Exp.
Lumbridge - Zilyana - Saradomin - Prayer and Construction Exp.
(scaffolding 2 2 2 4 2)
Gu'Tanoth - Graardor - Bandos - Prayer and Construction Exp.
(scaffolding 4 3 5 2 4)
As far as I can tell (I did this with my friends) the Exp and scaffolding changes per person, I will need more players to confirm this. I didnt record scaffolding for first 2 :<
Post your results to help me confirm, the friend i did this with only did taverly then ran off to ports... we had seperate exp and scaffolding but he may have done the wrong statue...
Also my client froze SIX times building these 4 statutes; Thanks Lagex!
