17 July 2007 - Pest Control update and Game Improvements
Thanks, everyone seems to forget this. I totally agree with you, I just tried some herblore and it's sooooo much easier now. It isn't even fun anymore. This is one of the worst updates up to date (together with a lot of other "X" options, let's wait for a "Afk X" now). Marginal improvement in herblore. Getting the stuff (herbs in particular) was the hard part, not clicking use wf vial with herb like any chimp can do. Getting more herbs easier and/or increasing the farming yields so farming was actually more meaningful than token would be a real improvement in herblore. Anyhow, try not to rant like the emos crying about getting some small agility from leaping fish. I think somebody calculated it to be with 140mil fishing xp you get 99 agility. 140mil fishing has never been done yet, so 99 agility will never be achieved by somebody who quit agility courses back in the noob levels.

PC update perfect and fair for all
This update is giving away void knight equipment for practically nothing. I had to world hop around for a 30 pts an hr for my full void night. Now you can get 100+ an hr easy. Experience is probably about the same for lvl 100+, of course the noobs got the shaft, but they were asking for it with all them 40 attack, hp, 99 str freaks. Game mechanics are totally different and all the tricks you knew about the game you can just throw out. Lost a few games because people think you can just one hit spinners and go back to the portals for example. Its different than before, harder maybe, not any funner though in my opinion, certainly doesnt require any more strategy than before just different.

Slowest Skill to get to 99?
DIY (do it yourself) herblore hands down. Collecting herbs is really tough. (200 an hr if your really good at the summer garden) Seconds not so bad except for a few. I'd say 5 to 10k an hr tops for me. I can do 10 to 15k slayer easy no cannon. Rc is about 18k an hour making fires or 14k deaths. Prayer is about 20-25k PC on decent worlds. Smithing is 35-40k an hr buying mith ores at the blast furnance and going to town there. Mining, fishing, and agility are 40k+ Rest are higher and not worth talking about.

The degrading community
Jagex's Knowledge base killed fansites, not noobs. Intelligent topics used to be how to do things and take advantage of updates etc since Jagex provided almost 0 information on anything. Now, its all laid out in KB... so the only topics left to discuss are "noobs say the dumbest things:S:S:S:S:S!!!!!!!!!!", "hows my outfit??!!!!?!!?!:S", and "if you got some phree stuff what would you do?????/:P".

Has King Black Dragon lost it's crown? (A Real Discussion)
Don't be fooled by cb levels, KBD is tougher than the mithril dragons if you ask me. KBD has an awesome fire breath, mithril dragons are just better in melee and have subpar firebreath. Soloing 10 mithril dragons is possible. Soloing 10 KBDs, idk...

Autobuyers: The Goldfarming Community's Secret Weapon
The only true way to get rid of these farmers is to get rid of the people that buy their gps for $$$. Afterall, if nobody buys rs gp, then why would farmers or bots be around? Jagex needs to focus on finding those people and taking their accounts and stopping them from ever playing again.

3 July - Barb training
Mith doors can't be opened period. Mod Nexus or something posted that on the official forums this morning. Why they put them in if they aren't going to open, idk... :roll: More hints to future expansion nonsense that they love.

Any use for the new potions?
I would use them zammorack pots since those pots reduce hp, this would counteract that abit. I use zammorack pots on slayer since getting limps and kwuarm is a pain for me and I can never keep up with my needs. If I had the level I would do it now. (85 for hardest skill in the game... geez..) :wall: The best bet for widespread use is putting the fish stuff in the super energy pots. Agility trainers could make use of it. A whole inventory full of 2 doses could get you by in alot of courses. Also, rcers who use energy pots could save a little time by just chucking them at the bank instead of regulars + food when needed.

Weekly Poll: What would you do if a friend gave you a phat?
That happened to me last fall. Buddybear (ex-tipiter) quit and gave me his yellow phat. (why me, I don't know, probably because im the "poorest" player at such a high rank) I sold it after 2 days for 144mil. I only wore it a couple of times cause its a boring, ughly thing, which infinity hat, jesters, and even the boaters "own". I gave 60mil and my guthans set to a dear friend, laikrob (a tipiter). I bought a masters wand, and bones for 99 prayer (back when they were 2k+ ea) and had about 40 mil left over (which I wasted away at castle wars -.- ). It spoiled runescape for me though. Raising prayer felt like a cheat code, not hard earned conquest. I got to around 93-94 prayer and stopped playing for a long time. I slowly came back and worked prayer up to 98 grudgingly at my altar. I then gave the rest of the bones to laikrob since I wanted 99 to feel like an accomplishment. I pc'ed level 99 over 3 weeks and that felt more like an accomplishment since it takes alot more effort and time than using bones with an altar.

a level 126 or party hat set?
I have the 126 and high non-combat skills so... I'll take the phat set. I need something to alch and the game would be better off without them. :XD:

best peices of eight in trouble brewing
I think 100 or whatever it is to just shovel water into the barrel. But that gets boring and POE is useless since "the stuff" doesnt work. So, I just burn the hell out of everything. :twisted: Its alot of fun that way.

The Fire Cape - A status symbol?
Its a cape of achievement of hand eye coordination. (The traditional skills of video gaming) 99 Slayer takes patience and resourcefulness for many many months. Fire cape takes concentration, timing, reflexes over a 2 hour period. They are different types of achievements (apples and oranges). Saying one is better than the other is a personal choice. To those saying that fire cape is worthless because people paid people to play on their account, well you could pay somebody to get 99 slayer on your account too. Might take longer, but still... Of course your cruising for a ban in either case. :shame:

The 'Anti-Idol' Trend
I only can think of two times that cheaters and scum have been idolized. No Naming names Q.V. Tip Mod gp for real money dude and No Naming Names the bug abusing dude. Both are gone, but seem to not be forgotten like they should be.

Our new, more powerful Crossbows!
They are crystal bow speed now. They hit like a melee weapon and make karil's and crystal obselete in my opinion. You really want to train with them from now on instead of magic shortbow. For reference, I hit 27s with just plain mithril bolts and a range pot, which is the same as a full crystal. I don't think you need to see numbers just get yourself one and some bolts and you'll see "night and day" difference. Jagex just brought range out of the abyss.
-
What Skills do you think are the most boring?
Runecrafting is drop dead boring. Its agility without the fun obstacles. Its also horriblely slow. Herblore & Farming are the most agrivating. Because getting the materials from scratch is really difficult and expensive to buy off people. Also, they take over your bank space.
-
Do you actully collect your own raw materials?
I'm pretty much a do-it yourselfer most of the time. I just can't stand buying or selling stuff to non-npcs in this game. These "merchants" are just a bunch of stuck-up, snivelers that know nothing more than intimidation and arrogance to horde rs gp for their retirement or something :roll: . Of course, I'm not that great at the buyable skills. Some are near impossible until recently. 99 Magic, most of the xp came from runes I made. Did pc a the few of the end levels when pc came out. 90 Crafting is all mine from battlestaffing, and jewlry. 99 Prayer I bought around half from dbones, the rest I got myself shade burning, zogre killing, dragon killing myself, and pest control. 86 Farming, I relied on manage the kingdom and slayer drops, since thieving seeds is so slow. Also, go a few levels when I grew stuff for a rich friend trying to level herblore. Implings are making me think 99 could be possible. 79 Herblore, I've pretty much collected every herb I ever made, and can never seem to the sell the pots, so I just used them or warehoused them like my 600 anitfire, 300 zammy 4 dose pot collection. I gave up on this skill at 75 but then the summer garden brought me back. I do buy my own ess off new players since they haven't gone into the "nest egg must grow" phase yet. Although you may see me mine it once and while when I only need 1k or something.
-
Think there'll be other elemental capes?
There are so many capes in the game already. -.- Capes are more show then stats in most cases. Why make more? I hope that Jagex focuses on the things that get players excited like new weapons and armour. Dark Bow was good, but only level 60. We need more variety in top end gear. I'd rather see "barrows part II" then "fight caves part II". If you catch my drift.

Dark Bow Review and Comparison
I love it. Sure its half the speed of crystal. But it fires 2 rune arrows which I was able to do 29s without the spec and 31 with. So, its just as good as 100% crystal which doesn't stay 100% for long. :( Karils is still better since you can get off 3, 27's in the same time, but it might be close if only I could find a dragon imp... This bow should have a 70 range requirement.
-
Dark Bow not as common as you think?
Took me 3 hrs to drop one. I like it, so I won't sell. Might drop more if the price is right. 8-)

12 June 07 - Guaranteed Content Poll Results
I voted for varrock to keep Jagex's attention on that digsite. They need to get that museum tour up and running to the god war's battlefield instead of making more far out quests on silly islands. So, we can get some new weapons! Also, so they realize that they need to fix champions challenge so they can include it.

Being nice... is it really worth it?
I use to help people on quests. But, then I learned that most people just want me to hold their hand and walk them through it. That gets old real fast and wastes my time. So, now I only answer a question or 2 (if im in the mood) and if Idk then I say lookup quest help on Jagex website.
