This is the part I'm most excited about, because it is possible they give this option to other minigames aswell. Castle wars to be more specific. Sounds like a good month.

Without God, we could forsake our moral principles easier! That's just what we want. To be fair, I think he was talking more about specific moral principles which are more or less religiously based. E.g. opposition to stem cell research, abortion, homosexual relationships, euthanasia, etc. Without religion, we wouldn't turn into mindless savages with no ethics, we'd just reconsider moral stances on issues that most of the time religion has the moral monopoly over. Yeah that's what I meant, well put, thanks :thumbsup: :thumbup: I like your nutshells About the bolded part. It's very hard to believe something you can't understand or put to words. I can see your believes of the afterlife have some similarities compared to mine. I call this "void" "nothingness". It's hard to think what this "entering God - and, thus, entering everything in the universe" "feels" like, as it's hard to think what "not existing" "feels" like. We have never been there, so we can only imagine what it could be like, and the only perspective we have is tied to this physical world. The task to explain it is impossible, thus it's pointless to try and meaningless, because you're dead and not coming back to physical beingness. editing my post doesnt make it any clearer, someone care to rephrase it? :wall: #-o

Why don't we have a proper global warming topic here to know what's the latest. Like it didn't exist anymore or if it was under control already, with you all being so quiet about it, as if it was a joke or a swear word. Raining water in Finland, one week straight ( :^o )

God is not only useless, he is also harmful in some cases. Without God we could more easily pass forevertaking arguments of right and wrong; death sentence, euthanasia, abortion etc. Other than if he is or isn't, you should look at what he does, what kind of an effect he has and how the positive effect could be done without him, and the negative effects could be gotten rid of.

Maybe we aren't, but atleast I enjoy reading this, makes me feel somewhat more educated with all the new words I have to check etc :geek: And I honestly hope that after the next two thousand years we've solved this one for good. ( :pray: ) Small survey, raise your hand (or thumb) if you want to live forever! :thumbdown:

ya its too late to explain now, i shouldve posted about this earlier, but: I simply couldn't find it. :wall: It wasn't here or here, and I didn't want to go through the 33 pages of guides. Maybe I could've done a better search on your posts and topics, but I didn't :thumbdown: im sry :( But please link me and I'll add it. Thanks for all your comments ppl, but don't be afraid to give negative feedback, it's always fun to test how I react to it. O:)

I see the (only) way to proving God does not exist, is to defeat his purpose. God's purpose is to give hope that life has a meaning, a direction, a goal. If you can get this hope elsewhere, don't need the hope or understand that life really has no higher meaning, you do not need God. This may seem ruthless, but it seems like it, only because it is. Life is easier when you accept it the way it is and don't lie to yourself or to others. God's purpose is also to relieve the pain of sin and death. You get over these when you understand, that there is no sin and that living forever is boring, that death is inevitable and needed. By saying that sin does not exist I mean, that you are not a worse person or doomed to go to hell if you sin, because everybody does sin. Sin and hell are only means of making people fear God or feel sorry for what they've done. You can feel sorry for your actions without God and you don't need God to accept you, or forgive you, if you accept yourself and forgive yourself. And see, the pain is gone. If I go to hell for my words I can only blame God, because he did decide my future, the meaning of my life and everyone else's, before I was born. :cry:

If there's a toilet nearby, use it. You'll never know when you see the next one.

I remember reading about the incident when it happened :o I think Holland should consider stealing virtual goods. It could be a nice income for the country to have organized scamming corporations =P~

Five million feathers \ 52,5% done

Ok, so he did create me. Great. :-X What are god's plans? I hope I'm not helping him at this very moment. :ohnoes: Eternity is a long time. It is impossible for human beings to be happy all the time, how could this change in heaven? I don't want to lose my humanity. Thanks With gospel I mean the thing I've seen in TV, where all people are singing and praising the lord. Then we just leave the praising part away :mrgreen: I haven't personally witnessed a gospel in person, but I hope my ignorance doesn't stop you from getting the point. God is not needed to have a good life. You want proof, look at me. In my world there is no God, and still, here I am, still alive, and I have taken a bus twice today! 8-) [13]

They enjoy having fun together, this can be achieved without god. I think atheists should have these weekly shows too. I'd propably enjoy gospel, if god didnt have to be involved. Here is my reasoning to why I do not need God, or do not want to have him around. God's most recognized jobs are: he created the world, he decides what happens in it and he offers eternal life with him after we die. First, who cares if he did create the world? It doesn't change anything if he did or if he didn't, it simply doesn't matter. Then, why do we want that life should have some special reason or that God wants things to happen, because it's a part of his master plan? If he had a plan, and he would succeed no matter what, why do we have this illusion of free will? I don't want someone to have an upperhand, to be allowed to break or make the rules as he sees fit. And last, who wants to live forever? Why do I need to see my relatives and friends after I die? Why isn't the time I have now enough? What if I get bored in heaven? What is eternal happiness? I'd rather cease from being than be thrown around by a superman.

What? A better example would be Chuck Norris is godlike. God is godlike. Chuck Norris is God. or I have a book. Bible is a book. I have a bible. But fish do not have christmas trees, right? Right? - Do we really need God? I don't.

Castle wars 2008 Why Castle wars Castle wars is the best minigame in runescape. Many cant agree, because they havent really ever understood the point of the game. Castle wars is fun and exciting, and gives a lot to those who master it. You wouldnt know before you tried it! The point isnt to get as many tickets as possible, but to enjoy the game and maybe gain a little experience in the process. Note that this guide is for those who want to really play castle wars, not for those who wish to kill players in castle wars. The difference between the two is huge. Pking in castle wars is simple: take your best gear, sip a potion, pray and kill. Real castle wars requires more than just gear, stats, and luck. If you already are a castle wars pro, dont expect to learn anything new. Please do give some feedback and see if there are any errors or things to add. Thanks. The idea of this guide is to give a deeper look into castle wars, not explain how you should do it in detail, but showing the means which lead to the ultimate castle wars experience. These quotes should explain what I mean :D Unfortunately, no one can be told what Castle wars is. You have to see it for yourself. Morpheus, The Matrix I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.

You want to get the best magic defence, and melee and ranged defence as secondary armor.

Seriously, some people do that just to get an extra challenge.[/hide] [hide=Castle wars dictionary]Castle wars dictionary Ill use these terms in this guide, because its the only right way to talk about castle wars. These are widely used among cw players, not just something I made up. [*:3l7ytft0]A stacked team A team has more good players than the other team. There are many kinds of stacks: ancient stack (much more ancients), click stack (all clickers in one team), sad stack (a team is so much stacked that its pathetic). A stacked team usually wins. [*:3l7ytft0]Antistack A group of players that play against a stacked team and are aware of the high chances of losing. They are the Good guys. These players will say nice stack when they lose, and lol nice stack when they win. [*:3l7ytft0]A stacker A player that stacks or a player that always wins. Calling someone a stacker is as bad as calling someone a pc product. [*:3l7ytft0]Tix Castle wars tickets, example: How many tix you got? [*:3l7ytft0]Flag The standard [*:3l7ytft0]Flag holder a person that has one of the standards [*:3l7ytft0]Theirs The other teams flag [*:3l7ytft0]Ours Your teams flag [*:3l7ytft0]SS, NS, stones, rocks North/South stepping stones, example: Theirs ss = Their standard is at south steppingstones [*:3l7ytft0]Reb, rebound When a standard is returned to its starting position. When a flag is safed. [*:3l7ytft0]I safe The flag holder goes on stepping stones to get killed. A rebound happens. [*:3l7ytft0]10 cades All the teams 10 cades are in use. Usually they want you to destroy a few cades. [*:3l7ytft0]Cade They ask you to cade the other teams base, because ours is heading there. [*:3l7ytft0]Und, under Underground [*:3l7ytft0]Mid, middle The middle, above or underground, example: Theirs und mid = Their standard is in the middle of the underground area [*:3l7ytft0]Bridge Nearly the same as middle, but above ground [*:3l7ytft0]Clear They want you to remove cades from your base, because theirs is heading there. Usually also means that there are a dozen ancient mages and spearers ready to pk the coming flag holder. [*:3l7ytft0]Drop Someone wants you to drop the standard. Could be either from your team or the opponents. [*:3l7ytft0]Brace They remind you to use your castle wars bracelet [*:3l7ytft0]gg, gj, gf, hf, - good game, good job, good fight, have fun [*:3l7ytft0]Def Defend ours [*:3l7ytft0]Att Attack, go for theirs, example: Are you going to att or def? [*:3l7ytft0]Cws castle wars [*:3l7ytft0]Cw pker a player that solely kills others in castle wars [*:3l7ytft0]Hugging a common term in team pking, and also in castle wars. You hug obstacles so your opponent gets stuck on the other side or hug ladders so you distract them. Its easy to do but hard to explain. [*:3l7ytft0]a click skilled cw players have a good click: they can pick up the standard faster than others when its dropped. There are loads of rumors around about what things affect ones click. Can also mean a mans certain body part. [*:3l7ytft0]a clicker a player with a good click [*:3l7ytft0]dg, drop game. A game where the standard is dropped and then picked up again, the point of the game is to test ones click. [*:3l7ytft0]ip changer, iper - a player who believes changing your ip affects your click. Widely used of all players who have a good click. Changing to a good ip is said to take hours, but many argue that ip has no effect on a player's click. Go figure. [*:3l7ytft0]Spear, spearer Dragon or zamorakian spear special attack and the person who does this special. Some people find spearers annoying, example: Nice spear[/hide] [hide=Learn the map] Learn the map The maps have fundamentally stayed the same over the years, but the castles have had slight modifications and some obstacles have been removed. The obstacles dont show on your minimap, so its good to know where they are. On this map Ive painted the most used routes. The green shows the fastest, most used route from a base to another. The yellow and red are the slower ways and the blue shows where flagholders usually take their flag. Ignore the pink.[/hide] [hide=Choosing worlds and sides]Choosing a world Worlds 24 and 82 are the most popular official worlds for castle wars. Smaller worlds dont have many players so it might be easier to learn new tricks there. On the other hand, you wont find as many good cw players there. This guide assumes you are playing in worlds 24 and 82. Choosing sides Its often pretty easy to see which team is stacked. You have to decide if you want to get easy tickets and do easy scores, or if you want to test your skills against an overpowered enemy. Both options have their own good sides, but the easiest choice is to take the guthix portal. Although the bases arent totally symmetrical, the differences are only small and dont offer notable advantages. Good players hang around the portals so it is easier to change teams at the last minute. #-o[/hide] [hide=Scoring and defending]Vacancies [*:3l7ytft0]You can score [*:3l7ytft0]You can defend [*:3l7ytft0]You can pk (Not really an option) Scoring [*:3l7ytft0]Do not try to score in your first games. This will result in a miserable failure. [*:3l7ytft0]When in the enemy base, take as little damage as possible. Pray, hug ladders and wear the right armor. [*:3l7ytft0]Learn how to score by observing how others do it. Note where they place cades, which obstacles they hug and so on. A good way to learn scoring is to defend. Youll learn through trial and error. [*:3l7ytft0]When you think you have learned enough, try doing it yourself. Do not take the flag out unless you know youre going to make it to the other base. Dont be a noob Even if you get their flag easily and could get out of their base easily, you shouldnt always take the shortest route. Pro cw players often hide somewhere and attack when you least expect it. Here is the most common example: Passing It is safe to pass the flag while you still are in their base, when outside you have to make sure there is absolutely no one from the other team near you and your friend. With good passes it is possible to do faster scores, when you are frozen you can just drop the flag to another scorer who continues the score. If there is an enemy even a few squares away, you should not drop the flag. Defending Defending can be put into three parts: 1) Defending your base, 2) stopping them from getting to their base, 3) Stopping them from scoring in their base. Flag holding adds a new dimension to defending, but is difficult to do in unstacked games. Here is a checklist for defending: [*:3l7ytft0]Place cades only if you know there are players coming from that direction (ground floor & underground). Unnecessary cades slow down your team mates and are very annoying. [*:3l7ytft0]Place a lot of cades. =D [*:3l7ytft0]Pk whenever possible. Use freezing spells and smite if you want to [*:3l7ytft0]Spear them in the correct spots. Dont be speared. [*:3l7ytft0]Learn how your team mates defend, find your own spot. [*:3l7ytft0]Dont let them hug you. Think before acting. Dont lose them from your sight. Do anything to stop them. Orange: Cades when enemy is incoming Purple: Cades when enemy is leaving. [/hide] [hide=Items of interest]Bandages, aids These are the only allowed healing method in castle wars. (+Saradomin godsword) Do not drop bandages. Bandages heal you, cure poison and restore run energy. You can right click them to use them on a friend. Cades, tinderboxes and buckets of water A team can only have ten cades placed at a time, so dont waste them. Place them only if you know theyll serve some use. Unnecessary cades slow down your team mates and are annoying. A well placed cade could make the difference between a win and a loss. Tinderboxes are useful in removing cades. A cade that is burning can not be blown up: this can waste some of the attackers time. Putting out a burning cade with a bucket of water and reburning it is even more fun. You do not get firemaking xp for burning cades. You do not get combat xp for attacking cades. Most efficient method of removing large amounts of cades is to use multitarget attacks on them. Dragon and zamorakian spears This tool is extremely useful. The special attack stuns your target so he cant heal, and moves them one square away from you. Its a good weapon for knockouts and for pushing people under rocks. Note: if a person is standing on a cade, is on stones or theres a blocking obstacle behind him, he will not move when speared. The zamorakian spear's attack rate is faster and the stats of the weapon are better than dragon spear's, but it doesn't affect the special. Zamorak godsword Must have if you don't have ancients ( :^o ). Used to freeze annoying ancients or escaping flagholders. Remember that the target isn't freezed if the spec hits a zero or if he is currently immunte to ice (few seconds after the last time he was frozen) Gates and doors Dont close the door unless you have a very good reason to. Closing it slows down and annoys your team mates. Repair the gate if needed. Dont waste your time destroying the enemy gate. If you time your click right, you can close the door/gate when its opened so that no one can come through it. Ladders and stairs These are easy to hug. When you go down a ladder, the enemy following you never knows if you are going to reclimb it or stay where you went. If your enemy also comes down, you can go back up again. (This makes you a sad ladder hugger :( ) Ladders are also easy to cade, and people can be speared when they are trying to use the ladder or when they have just climbed the ladder. Walls and ropes In big wars it can be good to ancient from the walls, but usually its a waste of time. Roping a wall makes an easy entry to a base, so it might be worth doing in some games. The rope disappears from the wall after a few minutes. /* Need an exact time Catapult Dont bother with it. Using it isnt even fun. Underground rocks Mining them takes long, an explosive potion drops them immediately. Using two explosives clears the tunnel again. If a flag holder is killed under rocks, it is possible to clear it before the flag is safed. A good idea is to freeze people under the rocks, spear them there or place cades behind them so its harder to pass. Try not to drop rocks when your team mates pass through. Scoring from underground is hard because of the rocks. By the time youve gone from their ladder to the underground middle, their ancients have gotten there from above.[/hide] [hide=Prayer, Summoning and magic]Prayer Using prayers is not sad. I personally use steel skin and protection prayers, and piety when killing a flag holder. Smite if needed, and use retribution when ever you can. Redemption is good when you are running with a flag, poisoned and dont have bandages :) Summoning Bunyip is easily killed, most combat familiars arent great. Titans and the unicorn are good for healing, wolpertinger is good for its magic defence boost. Beasts of burden cant hold any of the castle wars items (bandages, barricades), but extra sara brews are always nice. The scroll specials that stun your target have not been proven to be useful in castle wars, but I haven't personally witnessed them to be pointless either. Magic Ancient freezing spells are the only useful spells in castle wars. Freezing spells are much more worth the cost when compared to binding spells, because they do damage, hold longer and are multitarget. Lunar spell book is effectively useless, because you can't use it to heal others. Sharing potions, curing poison and vengeance are all useless in castle wars. You can ask Lanthus when the next round starts with the NPC contact spell, unless you are in the castle wars lobby and he sees you. You can enchant bolts and fill buckets with the lunar spell, but you can't cast alchemy spells in castle wars.[/hide] [hide=Flag holding]Flag holding Standard mechanics A Yellow arrow points to theirs when it isnt safe. Standards are instantly safed when they are dropped on the stepping stones. You can not hold your own standard in your own base. If you try to pick up your own flag in your base when an enemy has dropped it, it will be safed. The flags are not safed outside their base. Anyone can try to pick them up. When a flagholder is killed under rocks, it is possible to get the flag if the rocks are cleared fast enough. Otherwise, the flag is safed. When the standards are dropped on the same square, one of them is safed. Getting your own standard Simply kill their scorer outside your base; youll be able to pick up the flag. That is, if you havent been zgs specced, caded or speared, and if you have the best click. Beware: after you get your standard, you are the attackers main target! Holding your flag Holding your standard may be easy if you have many people defending you (pking the attackers), but if you dont enjoy that privilege, they will quickly kill you. Nowadays people nearly always go straight to the stepping stones when they get their own flag. This is an easy and effective strategy, because meleeers are easily hugged on the stones, and the flag is safed when they manage to kill you. Youll be an easy target to mages and rangers though. You can give the flag to another player when you run out of bandages, and then take turns standing on the rocks. Other popular holding spots are the gate, the small door, the wall (climb a rope) and the underground ladder. The flag is easy to safe from these spots, but they are closer to your base than the stepping stones.[/hide] [hide=moving in castle wars]Moving in castle wars [/hide] [hide=How long it takes to get tickets]How long it takes to get tickets? A round of castle wars takes 20 minutes. There is a waiting time of 5 minutes between each game. If you win every game, it takes you 25 minutes to get two tickets. Full red/blue decorative armor set = 29 tickets = 15 games = 6 hours 15 minutes red/blue decorative armor stand = 18 tickets = 9 games = 3 hours 45 minutes Full silver/blue decorative armor = 290 tickets = 145 games = 60 hours and 25 minutes silver/blue armor stand = 180 tickets = 90 games = 37 hours and 30 minutes Full gold/blue decorative armor = 2900 tickets = 1450 games = 604 hours and 10 minutes gold/blue decorative stand = 1800 tickets = 900 games = 375 hours But because you will lose every now and then (every second game or so), these times will vary a lot. CWC has a cw ticket top 10 list.[/hide] [hide=Castle wars clans, communities and youtube videos]After you've played castle wars for over six months and are nearing your first one thousand tickets, you might want to get to know the people you are playing with daily, and this is where castle wars clans and communities step in. There are about half a dozen active and highly respected castle wars clans and a dozen smaller ones, with hundreds of active members in total. The community is tightknit and loving. Because castle wars is a serious business and very exciting and addictive, flaming and badmouthing is normal. If you can't handle offensive language or pictures, you might want to reconsider joining a castle wars clan, but then again you wouldn't be in the Internet if you were so oversensitive.

Finnish children are not allowed to decide their religion on their own. Parents can make their newborn child a member of the church, without her permission or understanding of anything. After that the parents can keep their child in the church against her will, as you need your parents' acceptance to resign. At the age of 18 you are allowed to decide for your own religion. Today, resigning is more popular than ever. About 20% of Finns do not belong to any church. [hide=reminder]God is not real ;)[/hide]

Thanks for all your comments :thumbup: Absolutely. - I started writing down my drops after my last post on this blog. Remember that I always pick up the dragon bones and the three mithril bars, worth 5k in total. This restricts the amount of kills I get per trip, but gives the biggest profits. The clue at the bottom only gave junk, and the drop I lost because of a connection lost was propably a double dfh + visage drop. ;) [hide=mith dragon drop log]1. 4 green, a shark 2. 4 crimson, rune javelins 3. 27 bloods 4. 4 crimson, rune javelins 5. 4 crimson, 600 coins 6. 4 green, prayer mix (2) 7. 600 coins 8. 4 gold, 600 coins 9. 4 crimson, 11 rune bolts, 10. 27 bloods 11. 4 green, a shark 12. 4 crimson, 14 rune darts (p) 13. 4 green, rune baxe 14. 4 blue, rune javelins 15. 4 green, 8 rune arrows 16. 4 green, 8 rune knives 17. 4 green, 876 coins 18. 4 green, 10 souls 19. 4 green, 600 coins 20. 4 green, 27 bloods 21. 4 gold 22. 4 green, ancient page (!) 23. 4 gold, a shark 24. 876 coins 25. 4 green, sup def mix (2) 26. 4 green, rune baxe, a shark 27. 4 green, 10 rune bolts 28. 4 green, 29. 4 green, 8 rune arrows 30. 4 green, rune baxe, a shark 31. connection lost 32. 4 green, 876 coins 33. 4 crimson, rune javelins 34. 4 crimson, rune baxe 35. 4 green, 27 bloods 36. 4 gold, 8 rune knives 37. 4 green, rune javelins 38. 4 crimson, 27 bloods 39. 4 green, two unnoted rune bars 40. 4 gold, ancient page (!) 41. 4 crimson, 876 coins 42. 4 green, 27 bloods 43. 4 crimson, rune javelins, clue scroll (!)[/hide] Today I trained my summoning from 72 to 79. The point was to get the fire titan so I could teleport to lava maze, to easily get to the kbd, but, as I figured when I was 8k from 79, it isn't the fire titan that does the teleport, but the lava titan at lvl 83 summoning. So I scrapped the idea and went to play castle wars for the rest of the day. -.- combat 132->133 training summoning is ftw tbh, granite is practically free and you get 50% or so of your shards back :thumbsup:

I know you guys won't believe me when I tell what just happened to me, but don't worry, you don't need to! As I was killing mithril dragons today, like I do every day, hoping to get a visage or atleast something better than five silver bolts from burning chewed bones, a Jagex moderator teleported right next to me! His name was Paul and his combat lvl was three. He was wearing a blue party hat and full melee 3rd age armor. We chatted a few lines, I didn't quite know what to say to him, but he had a message for me. He said that Jagex had adamant dragons ready to be launched, but they didn't want to bring them in before I got a dragon large drop. He said that you have to keep trying, that I'd eventually get the dfh and when I did, they'd update the game immediately, and then I could hunt for the dragon kiteshield. Then he teleported away and I logged out to tell you all this :

If it is coded in the human nature that reaching complete happiness is impossible, then what does this tell of the concept of paradise or heaven? I'm sorry to bring religion into this but it fits perfectly and I'd like to hear what you think. If you reached complete happiness, you wouldn't want anything anymore, you wouldn't envy others, you would have no goals, no purpose. Would you be human anymore?

xp per hour: Cutting mage longs Adding strings both Is it a gain or a loss in gp? thanks.

Uncrashable wars. Quick find code: 82-83-31-57651546 Wouldn't even take much effort from jagex, and couldnt be abused, would do no harm.

I agree, it isn't an accurate model. The wavelength between two happy seasons isn't always the same. The basic idea still stands: I think that you have to be sad, atleast once, to know what happiness is. The more you are sad, the higher you value your happiness. Also, it is possible to affect your happiness graph with drugs, sex, chocolate (etc) to give a temporary sence of euphoria, but what things make the permanent changes, if any? It has been proven that money doesn't bring happiness, you can get bored to sex, videogames aren't meant to be played all the time, and friends and family members will die some day. What is the permanent "happy-pill"? Why do people say "enjoy the moment"? What is wrong with enjoying your past, or the future? I can't say I'm very happy at this very moment, but planning and dreaming of a bright future brings happiness to my dull day. This future may never come true, but so what, it made me a little bit happier today. bump :

Obviously you are aware of the high quality of your post, so do I need to mention it and applaud you for a job well done? Here you go: :thumbup: \ When we start analyzing human emotions with scientific terms, it's needed to go the whole way. I'll do it with math. Happiness is like f(x)=sin(x), where time is in the x-axis, and happiness is in the y-axis. This says, you have to be sad sometimes, to feel happy another time. It is impossible to be happy all the time, so sadness is needed too. This relation between these two is interesting, aswell as how people view the times of happiness and sadness. In short term life seems to be boring, pointless and unbearable. After a while you remember your past as the "golden youth", or similar. I hope you get my point :mrgreen:

I know you already know this, but to clear up to others.. ;) He IS a leader of a merchanter clan. I'd like to know if I now started a clan, how big it would have to be to get me access to this forum. I don't feel like getting maxed total just to view a forum :^o

Couldn't manage to get the ^2 in the new title/signature working properly, but atleast I tried. :( Yesterday I saw the sickest and most controversial movie ever. I didn't know it'd be quite like that when I picked it, and don't know if I enjoyed seeing it much, but it was interesting. Search for "13 beloved", it's really a great movie under the surface. The surface is covered with blood and feces :-# I'm nearing five million feathers, but I'm not getting them as fast as I used to. (#1 supporter quit) We aren't giving up yet though ->

Take the hardest companions (red clothes) and the easiest route. Evade all combat events except talon beasts. Snakes are good too if you want to sell their hides (2k ea) Wear weight reducing gear. Use Oo'glog pools if you think you need them for run energy. Super sets are a waste imo because you don't get to fight much. You get one talon beast event every 10-15mins on average. Slayer ring (from smoking kills) is useful in evading bog events, if you do use it, don't give your companion food. It's also the fastest way to get to Salve, making it easy to bank. Have an axe, a knife, a blessed silver sicle and druid pouches with you. Baskets of strawberries are good to have.
