Lol she's so pro she divides by zero! :-o Grats on the tickets, It's something I've always wanted to do but never found the time.

This. I'm starting to get a little weary of all the pointless D&Ds, minigame updates, and customization stuff. We got plenty of that garbage last year, though that did come with some long overdue overhauls thankfully. I really want more quests. Quests that further the overall storyline of RuneScape, mind you. I'd much rather have a low level, story significant quest than a high level silly, pun-filled fiasco. Those kinds of quests make RuneScape seem less like a serious game and more like, Kingdom of Loathing for example.

WTF did they make this a D&D for? With a wait of 90 minutes I seriously doubt the exp could be that OP. And its PvP aswell... I hope they realize we're going to have a guide for this in less than a week that will likely make winning only a matter of luck beyond reading the guide once... unless they plan to change it up every week. Even then this hardly seems like a D&D. Why not make the fisherman show up randomly at any fishing spot? Why just the fising guild? Where is the "distraction" element if I have to specifically fish at the guild over other, better training spots?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, he was for me too. I got pretty much destroyed in the second phase with my Vanille + Hope configuration from Chapter 9. So I used Snow, and I still got killed because he used posinaga and stopped all my characters and then combo'd lightning to death. I finally managed to beat him with Fang + Hope because she's a good enough tank plus, most importantly, she can dispel his haste and other buffs. Oh and it is totally worth switching Hope to syngergist to cast protect after Cid dispels it. Huge lifesaver. Oh yeah and I kinda wish they would let you switch classes individually. I fail at setting up paradigms sometimes :^_^:

Well I probably found it hard because I didn't do a whole lot of grinding, I just went through normally for the most part and skipped a lot of battles. That boss really only took me 4 or so tries, it was just getting the strategy right. I did it with Lightning, Vanille, and Hope. I found it was fairly important to have Vanille on sab with dispel for the last half of the first phase, since him having faith+haste can rape REALLY hard. And of course have Hope keep shell up. Probably could have done with tank, but it would have taken too long. I think Sazh + Vanille could have worked fairly well too because it seems his Magic Amplification is time based; I don't think it would be too hard to take at least 3 of the 4 armor pieces out before he amps up to -aga spells. The attack buffs might also help stagger him before he unleashes his nuke in phase two aswell. Oh and I'm quite a ways through Chapter 10 now, and good God Cid pissed me off so much. A lot more than the Ch 9 boss... I guess hard bosses are kind of refreshing in a way though. 12's bosses save for the optional superbosses were an absolute joke. I set up a single set of gambits for all 3 forms of the final boss, left and watched TV, and came back and watched the ending sequence. Didn't even touch my controller. Now that's pathetic.

Bump, all skills 80+ now.

According to GE the difference between yew logs + bow string is only about 3 gp off from yew longbows. And it's a lot faster. I don't think fletching willows would be worth it past 70. As for firemaking, there's really no reason to use willows as maples aren't that much more expensive. I got 99 FM from just the maples I got from MTK.

I don't think that would be necessary. GWD items are the best gear in the game, if they become less rare and the price drops a bit, demand will likely increase to compensate. A lot of people can't afford GWD items, so if they became even a little bit more affordable you'd see a lot more people buying them. I don't get why anyone thinks prices will drop too significantly anyway. GWD didn't used to be nearly as crowded and now it's so crowded almost everyone crashes because it's impossible to find a world, even increasingly so on non LS worlds. The only thing I think is even capable of devaluing GWD items significantly is the introduction of better gear. Which Jagex said IS coming. So I don't see why we can't have instanced bosses, it would just make it that much funner without having to worry so much. I mean I can't imagine a more horrible feeling of GWDing, some crasher coming in and getting a hilt. Sickens me just thinking about it.

Finally got to play some FFXIII again today lol. All I gotta say is DAYYUUUM that boss in Chapter 9 was HARD. No spoilers. If you've been up to that point, you know what I'm talking about. So far though the game has been very linear like FFX, not sure I really like that but meh what can you do.

Probably Maplestory. I actually played a mage to level 35. The percentage to next level thing actually made it kind of addicting. I saw myself going up 0.01 percent every enemy I killed at one point. Then I realized that was TEN THOUSAND enemies to level... ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. So I tried doing some dungeons, and I found out that they only had one instance of each dungeon and you can't enter it when another team is already in there. I immediately quit and never went back. I mean the grind is bad enough, but that right there is an EPIC fail. What kind of crap framework do they have for their game that doesn't allow for instanced dungeons...

Wow lucky. You know I kill any imp I see wandering around edgeville, GE, or Yanille for that very purpose. :) No luck, bleh.

Thanks anyway. Sorry I didn't see you, was a bit focused on hunting the penguins, and probably had my bank interface up, and my chat was set to clan so it wouldn't have shown up in the chatbox :-P

Okay, I'm pretty far in now and the combat has thankfully started to get more interesting. I die all the time now LOL. Which raises another issue I have with the combat system: having a complete inability to direct your party members' actions manually. Having to rely on the AI to give me the right buff is a bit annoying. And if a buff I need is dependent on a specific weakness or attribute of the enemy, I have to have Libra'd them for my party members to even consider using these specialized buffs (though thankfully one Libra on a specific type of enemy is enough). A perfect example of this is the two raging monsters (boss) Sazh and Vanille face. Sazh won't use thunderize or waterize unless you Libra them. I imagine that will be even more annoying later when I'd like to use my TP to summon Eidolons instead of wasting it on Libra... And good news, Vanille seems to have gotten a bit less annoying as she has gotten more depressed. Good Vanille, stay sad. You're annoying when you're happy :angry:

I asked this in Tech & Computers and I was linked to another thread where I found a solution. "Go to about:config and toggle browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything to true and change the browser.display.focus_ring_width value to 0." Hope that helps.

ANY quest will be able to give someone 300 QP after the next quest is released. Low IQ? Yeah no DUH I didn't say "reward for completing all quests". And REAL mature with the personal attack. I'm not even complaining about the quest, just this specific reward. It is practically a combat tutorial for newcomer f2p'ers, what would you expect? I'm talking about the 300 QP helm. As it is, it's barely worth even asking her for after completing this quest, let alone going back to her after completing some other quest to put you over 300 QP. The mask, I like. It's the first F2P item with + attack on the helm slot. Very useful for new players. But even IT has better stats than the 300 QP helm. THAT's what I'm saying. Gosh, even if they made the helm equal to a rune full... or an addy full... ANYTHING... but ZERO? Good golly gosh, what is is made out of, tissue paper?

Again, I don't mind a newb quest, but the 300 QP reward is an epic fail. Why did they even bother giving a reward if it is both totally worthless statwise and doesn't look good for any outfit besides maybe a decent forum avatar. Honestly it's a huge slap in the face that the even the catacomb mask has better stats than the 300 QP reward.

Dissapointing to say the least. I wouldnt mind so much if the helmet didnt look like it was specifically designed to go with the quest cape, or at least given some decent stats to make it something to work for. I never expected something with stats tbh, but I just don't ever see myself wearing a decorative helmet.

Fair enough I suppose, they haven't released a F2P update in a while. Though I don't know about anyone else but I'm really, really craving some more challenging quests after Nomad. I want MOAR. NAO. Especially after they plopped that big ol' castle down in east wild.

Lol SirIzenhime, I've gotten a chain drop and I STILL jump a little when I'm not paying much attention. :mrgreen: Grats btw.

Bump, 2200 total nao. :thumbsup:

Played for a few more hours today. I had to skip some scenes because I just couldn't stomach Vanille's voice. I hate her so much. I'm hoping the "dark resolve" part of her character description means she's going to turn out to be a villain. Because I seriously want to kill her. As for the combat system, it does look visually very amazing but so far it has been ridiculously simple. Basically the first part of the game was just spamming auto battle and now the only thing extra I have to do really is switch my characters to defensive / healer mode when someone gets below half health.

Yeah I was thinking that they should offer an option to turn it off and stop the timer provided that there is a 30 minute wait to turn it back on before the formula levels out to 1.1. A bit annoying that everyone is locked into this for the entire weekend with no option to opt out. Oh well I guess we can just train with the 1.1 multiplier on skills that would benefit from it, and hopefully they will change this next time.

I use whip+defender for blues and irons, and z spear for steels, mithrils, and blacks. On dragons with low defense the stab weakness isn't as apparent, so it's better to have the higher str bonus. On the others though it makes a big difference from what I've experienced.

It's about 80k exp an hour, so I think around 1300 bars would be about right (with varrock armor of course).
