Just use a d long until you can equip a whip. You want to max out your defense against things that can destroy you quickly but are a waste for using prayer pots AND/OR are very far from a bank (unless you have guthans/bones to peaches). Max out only the stat that they attack (max mage protect vs. magic enemies) with and otherwise increase your offense. You want to max your offense for nearly all other tasks. The faster you kill something the faster that you gain xp AND the less time they have to damage you. I suggest getting 45 defense (berserker/warrior), then getting 70 attack (whip), then getting 70 defense (barrows armor, mainly guthans for slayer). Since you already have 45 defense go straight for the whip. You can earn the cash for it pretty quickly by making/running natures. I would say that you could get the cash for it in under 20 hours of fast crafting/running.

Do you mean the full set or just the parts? I have problems with using the full set to consistantly take out the brothers at 111 combat. If you mean the individual parts (especially skirt and helm) then you are 100% right. They provide great defense, great prayer boosts, and do not lower your mage offense much.

i suggest that you get an advatar What? Are you saying he needs an avatar for tip.it? Anyway, I would suggest leveling up mage with alchs or other non-damage dealing spells and leveling up range with a cannon or mini-games. This will keep your hp low. That way you won't accidently overshoot your goal and can finish your hp with pc.

If you don't have loads of glories and/or dueling rings you can always carry law runes, an air staff, and just bank in camelot. One less ess crafted each run but will prevent having to recharge glories (if you have like 1-5) constantly and will cut down your duel ring usage by half. I crafted airs until 14, fires until 22 (triple airs), airs until 35 (double fires), and fires until nats. Pretty decent xp/cash that way.

I always copy what I am about to post just in case something like that happens. Your shield slot should be filled in this manner: For offense - Rune (and lower leveled) defender > obby shield > Zammy prayer book > Guthix prayer book For melee defense - Dragon Square > Crystal Shield > Rune Kite > Obby Shield > Rune defender For magic defense - Sara prayer book > most everything else. Try guthix book, broodoo shield, etc. For range defense - Crystal Shield > Granite/Obby Shield > Dragon Square > Rune Kite > Rune Defender That should be relatively accurate. I suggest owning a rune defender (or 10 like me, lol), a dragon square, a sara book and a crystal shield or granite shield... get them in that order as well, lol. P.S. Welcome!

I was under the impression that steels dropped about 1 in 200, iron 1 in 400, and bronze one in 800. I have killed maybe 10 bronze drags ever, lol, so this isn't my info. I read this somewhere on tip.it so take it with a grain of salt. I would assume that you have a good chance of a drop with that many chaos, though.

Verac's isnt that great for training. Whip or d scimmy are better. The point of Verac's is monsters with massive defense (kq) and pvp (since we also have massive defense). While it isn't that incredibly slow it just isn't that great for training. If you have issues with doing 50 damage in PC then full Verac's might help you there. With that being said, I love my set and will never sell it! The skirt and helm are the very best in the game (huge def and huge prayer bonus) and soloing the kq is a nice challenge while wearing it. Enjoy your V.

All charges of black masks are tradeable 0-10. I'm just going to turn this into my own question thread: What is the difference between a black mask0 and a black mask10? And if it has to do with charges, what do these charges do?? They randomly lower defense. They do a horrible job of it and it is maybe once an hour. The mask still works the same (+15% att/str vs. slayer task) regardless of the charges left. There is no way to recharge them (that anybody knows at least) but even if I could I wouldn't waste more than a fire or air rune to do so... heck I probably wouldn't do it if it was free, lol.

This is SO freaking annoying to me as well, lol. On most pages of the KB there is a section at the bottom saying "Further help". On some of those pages it says "Submit a game-related Query". Follow this path for one such example: Click the kb > manual > combat > scroll down to the bottom. Hope they can help you (and I hope I did as well, lol). P.S. I think that the reason that they made the path so difficult is to prevent people from bugging them all of the time. Only those with an important question would take the time to look.

You don't want the best two stats in the game? :P You can train attack, defense, or controlled (all three). No whip for you, sorry.

By far the fastest fishing xp on f2p. Go to a popular world, fish/cook your trout/salmon, and give them away to people. There are much better ways to make cash on f2p than fishing lobs so don't bother (run airs on 16 which is 2.5k a trip). I wouldn't suggest keeping them but if you do you can use them to fill up your hp at the bank. I was f2p for a month or two while moving (shudder) and gave all my fish to one person... and then bought them back for 20 ea trout and 30 ea salmon. Those combined with the ones I fished from shilo left me with well over 10k fish. I use trout to melee blue drags now and they are great!

If you walk from the general store straight to the southeast you will encounter maybe one monster. Even if you get poisoned or damaged the store sells both antis and garbage food. You really don't need much of a guide, honestly. For speed be a crafter on world 66. For fast solo crafting either use duel rings/glories and craft fires or use teleother moonclan and craft astrals. For cash use the abyss for natures. If you don't have glories (or house tablets and a permanent glory on the wall) then craft through the general store until you can buy 20 or so glories (you can get as cheap as 55-65k ea if you buy 20 or more at once). I would save your super energies for abyssal crafting.

Just got my second dragon drop (third if you include barrows which I don't) from fire giants while training slayer. 3 d meds ever, which is pretty lame... at least they weren't d spears and at least barrow's love me... and apparently fire giants as well. \

This should be in help and advice but I am wondering if anybody knows the person that Jagex said had the best decoder. Here is the quote: (Also, many thanks to all of you who sent in translations of the chaos elementals letter last timeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ especially to Razorlike who, according to the dwarvern scholars who also examined his reply, was the most accurate.) Anybody know him/her?

Exactly. I don't see anything positive coming from this update; Imagine being the one guy left behind while your friends get to have all the fun of laying waste to noobs without you. I'd love to see who started complaining about this in the first place. The problem with this is that people have become accustomed to bug-abusing this. Jagex did not intend for it to work this way. Now that they fixed it people are mad that they can't abuse the bug. This is what aggravates me even more. Castle Wars has been out for how long, and it only just now gets fixed? Unacceptable :shame: Lol, I totally agree. This is annoying but not nearly as bad as the auto-skull bug in the wildy that took years to fix. With all of the old bugs that people are used to getting fixed (verac hitting through prayer, auto-skull bug, this, etc.) it looks like Jagex is actually making a large effort to "fix" their game... even if the fixes make it less fun.

I am about 90% sure that the new prayers will be both f2p and p2p. The reason that I think so is that the equivelant melee prayers are f2p. I hardly think that f2p deserve nothing; they play the game and most would pay for runescape if they could afford/were allowed to do so. They just deserve a lot less for not playing. :mrgreen: I really think that mage pkers/stakers are going to be mad. Picture a level 80 with 70 attack (whip or veracs), 50 strength, 45 prayer (guess on the max prayer level needed), 70 defense/hp, and 83 mage/range (potable for tb). They put on dds/whip and kharils. They drink a super set and a mage pot. This boosts the defense stat to ~83 and the mage level to 87 (?). They pray steel skin which boosts their defense level to ~96. They pray mystic law which boosts their mage level to ~100. They pray protect from mage. Since magic level, defense level, and gear worn determine magic defense 99 magers are going to have an EXTREMELY hard time touching this combat level 80 MELEER. If this does anything for pking/staking it will mostly lower mages' offensive ability, raise rangers offensive ability (provided that range defense is not based off of range level like magic), and increase meleers defense against magic. Poor mages. :?

Now that they fixed it people are mad that they can't abuse the bug. Don't get me wrong when I say bug-abuse. I would bet that sending a message to cs about abusing this bug wouldn't even warrant a warning, lol. It is probably the one of the only bugs that Jagex would laugh at for reporting. I am actually quite shocked that they fixed it. I agree that it is lame to have a friend trapped on the outside. The problem is that a huge clan could log into a world, all join sara, and do basically nothing to beat zammy round after round. It would be nice to be able to bribe the cw guy there into being automatically loaded into the same team that you were in. Drain a small amount of gp from the game and make the cw tickets go directly into your bank like they should. Both problems solved to some extent.

Yes it does have an extinguish option but with my sapphire one I have never had it go out even when I fall in water at stepping stone. Bullseye lanterns won't go out unless extinguished. Just put it in the bottom-right slot and you won't have to worry about an accident. Next time I am down there I can test the max qp time-limit on rc. Maybe in a month I can test it on agility, lol.

Probably Menephite robes. Search tip.it for them.

All charges of black masks are tradeable 0-10.

You spent like 3 hours making your topic? >_> That's like what, one letter a minute? Try this instead: I started to write a topic hours after release about that release because I was shocked that nobody had done so and before I finished somebody posted something similiar. Congratz on looking like an idiot, though. :thumbsup:

3. That question (already answered with the pic) was answerable only with "higher" or "lower"...? 4. Why wouldn't a higher mage level from prayer increase your mage defense? The kb and many people say that magic defense depends on your defense level, magic level, and magic defending gear. 9. So +15% range will not increase range weapons' max hit's? How do you figure? 10. Lol? If you get hit a 50 with a d stone arrow, chances are you won't be able to heal before they can wipe you out with 4 dds specs. I am not sure what you mean... I enjoy all forms of combat and want them to be equal. These new prayers are only a good thing in my opinion since they are a move to finish what jagex started from RSC; which is to split the classes. Now prayer has an offensive purpose for things other than melee. I guess I don't really get your joke, sorry. :oops:

Make sure you get your mage level up. It will provide you with defense against mages and entangles (snares in f2p?) that your defense and/or prayer stats (both being 1, lol) cannot offer. Other than that I would say that this sounds like a great f2p pker.

It should be quite obvious that he is p2p since the dragon bones he plans on selling are members-only items...

Wahoo! I wrote this thread and posted it and... saw a thread on the same thing. Well I guess this one asks specific questions as opposed to providing kb hints, lol.
