Hardest 99?
Just go based off the number of people with 99s. The information is readily available at runescapewiki. 1. Runecrafting 2. Construction 3. Herblore 4. Agility 5. Smithing 6. Farming 7. Mining Don't count dungeoneering, its too new.

How it should have ended
The bows look like longbows. I wonder if you can put a sight on them. If so, then they might be the hidden gem along with the arrows.

04-Aug-10 Elite Treasure Trails!
Not seeing anything crazy good there. Maybe, I'll buy a kit for my dragon armour. Hope it works with Full helm and plate and not just the noob med and chain. Monster droppers for clue 4 are a real lame selection, but its not like I'd bother with it anyway. Can't wait to see what I have at MTK. Maybe a pile of 10k climbing boots. :P

Newfound Uses for Modern Prayers
Curses will be better than modern prayers in any prolonged fight. +10% to your range and def & -20% to opponent's range and def is better than +20% range and def. Modern prayers will only be good on no-defs and hit and runs.

summoning. How combat related is it really?
Get the feeling you don't have a steel titan o.O Nope but I got an iron titan and it sucks ass. Thought it might do some good in FOG. Nah, you loose dps fumbling with the horrible inferface than switching melee/range or melee/magic. Frankly they just pray away anything it can do anyway, wolpertinger boost is about the only thing I use. Some level 70 noob with a rune 2h could do more damage than a titan, maybe they could let me summon that. :D

Frost Dragon guide, 160+ kills / hr
You're seriously telling me that 94 stab + 104 str and 85 stab + 75 str are both better than 107 stab + 120 str with one less speed bar? I'll let you do the dps math yourself. Also, incidentally, my cannon positioning is designed so as not to hit frost dragons in the western section, since there's usually another camper there. Anyways, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, so unless you have an in-depth guide on getting 210+ kills / hr, please find another thread to troll. xpx likes to be loud and troll, but he's still usually right about these things -yes the rapier is definitely better than the longsword. Maybe not the spear, but rapier vs longsword is no contest. -no comment on cannon positioning 160 kills per hour really isn't great if you're meleeing. I've achieved that with a cannon + karils crossbow + extreme ranging potion + 15% range prayer his recommendation for summoning potions was important, since it will let your pack yak cast witner storage more often. if you don't want to get flamed by people like xpx, you really shouldn't label your guide "the fastest, most efficient way to camp them." when it's highly contestable whether or not that is true. LOL... Whats the dps of cannon genius? (hint if your not in combat then the cannon goes multi and will lay up to 6 strikes per rotation on a single dragon thats moving overtop the thing) Best way to kill frost dragons and actually get 200 kills an hour not just fiction from XpXtroll is let the cannon do the work. Hide behind the rocks in the sw and let the cannon roll. Only come out when there is only one dragon left, or a dragon goes around the rocks from the south attacks, or the cannon runs out of ammo. Doesn't matter if you have rapier, spear, or cls. Your dps sucks compared to the cannon when its working in multi mode (aka your not in combat or it really is a multiway zone). Learn to compliment the cannon, not the cannon compliments you.

summoning. How combat related is it really?
Lol, about time somebody else opened their eyes to summoning. Haul stuff sure, cast boosts & teles can-do, but kill stuff... nah go play WOW if you want familiars that can fight period. Still waiting to get my 126 back on non-pvp worlds...

Runescape today
Do you need alot gp to have fun and accomplish things in RS? No. I've never made more than 1mil an hr like the person above me suggests and you can see what I accomplished. Do you need money in real life to survive? yes. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Effigy Droppers
Its balanced where it is. I enjoy my free 30k construction xp per day and ranks. The drops are pretty rare. I only have gotten 2 since the update. Nobody is going to get 99 on anything camping for them.

Is Magic Longbow (S) Overlooked?
No, its not. Its a lvl 50 weapon and it behaves like it even with a sight. Its only good for people who use MSB on targets that freeze and run out of range. MSL can help fill the gap until you can move close again. One can only hope that Jagex released the sight in preparation for releasing a new level 80 long bow with new level 80 arrows.

Maging Abby Demons
Your missing the reason why people mage abby demons. Full slayer helm, arcane stream, SOL, and surge spells. Bolts with chaos guants is like old school metal dragon camping before people figured out slayer dart was decent and that you could make tons of money at barrows using use.
-
Divine Spirit Shield
Its gaudy junk. Its RWT currency. Forget about it. You could get all three lvl 80 shields way faster than that. They may be situational but they will outperform spirit shields anyday if used corrrectly.

JAGEX buys Planetarion
Good if want to live to the year 2050. Bad if want to discuss how graphics are everything to people who played PnP RPGs and 8 bit nintendo during childhood.

Jagex is closing down botsites
Admission to visiting cheating websites is basically an admission of cheating. Nobody is going to believe that "I was just looking" excuse. Cheaters are abound everywhere. Think sharkbrewing. :idea:

JAGEX buys Planetarion
And this matters because... your a 90s product?
-
JAGEX buys Planetarion
They want to make a game like runescape out of it. MMG directly states that they want to make a sequel. Is there something special about the game? Does it have some level of realism like star trek or is all star wars fantasy?
-
Which chaotic?
You cant go wrong with any of them. Maul is probably the weakest being so slow, 2handed, and does only crush. CLS is probably the most useful since it has premier str, stab, and slash. Rapier is just a stab based whip that hits 40 or 50 points higher but if you never miss (unrealistic) then its the highest damage output weapon in the game. I own cls and at castle wars profound set + cls is the best combination hands down. I can roll any rapier/divine/bandos/steel titan wannabe.

barrows set up
The brothers take more of your prayer than runs out on its own. Guthans is fine. I guess you never did that quest that gave you chaos guanlets either. Using chaos over deaths would be a major advantage if your looking to make money. Why helm of neitz it just wastes space if your taking guthans. Don't forget restores since ahrim takes your stats.

Adamant Arrowtips
Mish? Mish-mash? Smith your own heads, bars usually are buyable or just fletch bows like 99% of players do.

Game Update Delay
So whats z-biasing going to do for me? More server side lag? Turn the floor of my poh back into a strobe light again? Remove my hair when I wear a hat and project pieces of my character through the ground instead of floating in air? Graphic updates from Jagex are always so promising.... :rolleyes:

An Intelligent Perspective On Botters
No such thing as an intelligent perspective on why we need botters. Its like saying I need cheaters so I can feel that my accomplishments mean something since I did it the hard way.
-
Frost Dagon Guides
Your melee gear is lacking. Loose defender get dfs. Making super antifires is a waste of time nowdays unless you don't have a cls or a cr. Loose neitz helm get cw halo if your going to piety/turmoil. Verac top bottom over bandos unless you don't mind chugging prayer pots every other dragon. Loose claws lol its not pking or FOG and as above carrying super antifires is a drag. Also, no food? Does that really work? I doubt it. Soul split with never keep up with 200+ magic hits every round.

Chaotic Rapier vs Longsword
You should read some of Sseli's research and calculations, he can actually factor in defense and accuracy. Its dubious at best. Jagex are known efficiency freaks so why generate two random numbers and bias them using twice the computations before comparing them and then determining a result. I suspect its easier just to select one random number from a constant set of numbers and then compare that to a number derived from one equation involving attack and equipment bonuses of the combatents. As for applying Jard's max damage equation that its based on: His final form is messy and certainly not the way you would design a game on a blank piece of paper. I'll give him credit though for figuring out the relationship between character level and equipment bonus. I.e. Max Damage = Strength level with multipliers x (equipment bonus x constant + 1)

is dungeoneering really a difficult 99?
No, its easy and going to get a whole lot easier real soon. Only 3 months and already like 500 99s given out with a few nutjobs at 50mil+. I'd put it just behind slayer for now and when it speeds up I'll put it next to thieving. Kinda reptitive though and you can't afk/zone out like slayer.
