firestrike

I dont have a pic but the only decent kill i have gotten so far got me : - The FOG Mystic top worn out (251k) - Helm of Nietz - ROW - Some manta rays and one turtle - some random arrows and javilins. The down side is i have died twice :( and lost alot more than that.

This financial crisis may effect rs more than you all think. Basically the Jagex Corporation will still maintain business as usual. However what will happen, you will find out of the say 200 000 members (total estimate) many of those be they adults or children the money the are spending on RS will be deemed an unescessary expense. As people start to struggle financially, guess what they give up first. We will see membership dwindle. As the cost of playing RS is not $5.00 a week. It is also having a computer with internet acess and a working computer etc. (that adds up). We will see Rs recieving a smaller bottom line, being less inclined to hire staff, and less inclined to update and expand the game. Furthermore if less people play on f2p worlds we will see s distinct drop in Rs's money source from advertising. therefore further lowering profits. What i have described is exagerated, basically assuming a depression. However if we do have a depression, rather than a recession this is a very likely outcome.

Thanks for the replys, i think i will go with the slayer option + cannon. However which tasks should i range? i use duradel for my tasks thanks.

Hi as a player who has always ignored range i have no idea how to really train it in the MOST efficient way. From 88 onwards i will use red chins, but getting there i have 3m cash to burn and want to be as "cash tight" as possible. What i am thinking of doing: Use broad bolts on Ogres? Or are Mith/addy arrows with mage short better exp per hour? What is the best monster and method for the fastes exp an hour with a cash restraint.

Some great pk's here, i love the kill on the lvl 111 in p2p :). BTW you can leave, bank then come back in and pick up hit loot if you are worried about the pen. I love the explainations / stories to some of the kills, gives them some background. Keep up the good work :)

OMG!!!! I am happy with a dds kill. Honestly how do you pk? I am 111 so only pk mid crater, yet still i just dont know how you get those awsome kills. You must have so much cash!! Or do you die an equal amount of times?

All drops in runescape are luck. Jagex has explained there drop system as a roulette wheel. To get a "rare" item you must spin say 1 number on the wheel and then you get a spin at a 2nd wheel. Each spin would be randomly automated and probability sometimes can be beaten by luck :)

The calc at some of my levels around the 70 - 88 str was off by 1 hit unpotted. Yet 2 off is a little bit high. Have you clicked strength potion and prayer on? If you have the str pot will decrease and it can be hard to hit the max hit.

I never thought of this side of the update. Just think about barrows and other higher level items skyrocketing in price. If Pkers keep pking in the gear they wear at the moment Millions of GP in items will be lost. Just think about all the 1 itemers in blk d hide there is like 15k a set x about 1000 dying a day for example. That is just one item set.

This thing called "honour" back in the old wildy was developed by players to whom it was to there advantage. RS didnt create prayer not to be used it is a joke. These idiots that think honour pking is the right way are tools. Pking is designed to be a ffa, and if jagex made the item / skill it is a legitimite way of pking. I love it when one itemers call you "nerd" for attacking them. It is a joke. Once they walk into BH they are fair game and can be attacked. People just dont understand honour is only good if it is to there advantage. You only get flamed if you are beating the other guy. Basically you get flamed for not taking in 10m and deliberately dying. Get over yourselfs honour pkers.

25% is actually quite easy to believe. Firstly the age group of 12-17 is not the WHOLE of britain instead it is probably around 8-18% of there population. So around 10 million people. When you think about it this survey probably asked who has been to these websites not who actively use them etc. When you ask a broad question like that it is easy to imaging 2.5m people from England aged between 12- 17 have come across RS in some way shape or form in there years on the internet. Obvioulsy there are not 2.5 million active players that play regulary, however AC nielson are an accurate polling corporation and after randomally sampling 40 000 people the results will statistically be quite close to reality.

RSN: Freezing_d Requesting: Looking for a guilded altar to raise prayer Timeframe: Australian time (GMT +10) How to Contact: PM in ingame (chat ON) Not always on but please if you see me log in i really need to raise prayer so pm me thx. Additional Info: I'll provide herbs I am only raising lvl 66 to 70 so i only have 800 bones to bury.

They still havent released the promised "wilderness quest", so i think that will still be to come.

Hi I have some cash to burn and want to train range for bounty hunter. I am currently 78 range and am aiming for something like 87-90. I have heard of red chinchompa's giving 200k exp an hour. Yet can't find any guides on how to use them on this website? So here is what i need. 1) A red chins guide of any type would be great thanks. 2) how much exp will 10-15M get me? 3) what invent + equip should i take i have around 5-10M to spend on equipment. (more if really nescessary.)

I think that is going to be the same for me very soon lol. There is no way i am ranging these stupid creatures. Although i still reckon they might be alright for melee if i get told a decent strat.

thanks for that however this guide is a guide for ranging, i want to know how to melee them, as i DO NOT like range at all lol. I would also mage them if mage is much better than melee. thanks.

Hi To everyone that will look at this, I am faced with the problem of soon being able to recieve skyletal wyverns as a slayer task yet having no idea how to kill them effectively. from what i have gathered from tip's bestairy i need an elemental shied (as i dont have the 22m Dragonfire one :( ) But Do i kill these guys like fighting iron / steel dragons? Should i just take anti-fire pots, prayer pots sup str and attk pots and some backup food? And some good prayer gear + a decent attacking outfit? Or.... Can you tell me what to do thanks! and ps. What is better dragon slayer gloves, or barrows gloves when killing dragons. I just use Barrows gloves as the F.O.G gloves dont seem too useful to me.

Thanks for the replies it looks like i should definantly stick to doing Duradel tasks. I have just always dont the highest master i could go to. but now when i think of exp. per hour i was like is he the quickest? But from the responses so far the Money i can get from tasks + the exp with the longer assignments looks like Duradel is the right choice. Although i think i might just try sumona to see what she gives.

Hi I am lvl 109.95 (with lvl 1 summoning) and am wondering about which slayer master to use. As far as gear goes i have decent melee gear. Although I have no barrows! as i am quite poor. Which slayer master will be the best for me when: 1) I want the fastest slayer trainging exp per hour ? or 2) I want the most slayer points per hour? (for the slayer helm) or 3) I want the most profit via slaying with decent exp at the same time? Answers to all or any of those questions will be good thanks. I mean is this new slayer amster any good, or is chaedler or The shil Village one the best?

Yes this is a good question to raise. I think when i think of difficulty i think of the time a skill takes, and how much attention you must pay to that skill. I percieve hard to be constantly clicking i.e. so you dont have time to look at forums etc. And The Overall time the skill takes, as in my opinion spare time is a luxury. I totally agree with you here, My opinions of the skills are biased, as these are my experiences, when i levelled thieving from 1 to 71 the exp was slower as it was back in 2004. So My experience of thieving may have been harder. I mean i personally view con as easy as i got to lvl 57 in less than a week. however getting the higher levels in con may be a lot more work. But My ideas on prayer stand, since i am looking at the skill both BEFORE and after updates whihc made it more easy. And cooking does deserve a 1 i have 3 friends in game that bought lobs and got it in 10 days and sold for almost breakeven I mean if you did it with sharks you could probably get that down to 7 days... For a 99 i mean that is a joke. And about the new agil courses, I hadnt really tried them, but For those that say agility is easy because it "is fun for some people" this still makes the skill time consuming and therefore a difficult skill in my opinion.

Thanks for the Feedback Crusader, yea Summoning doesnt seem that easy to me ( although getting 18 is :) ) So 8 is probably around right, although from what i hear it can be bought pretty easily, although 100M is way more than i have so it would be hard for me lol.

Hi all, finding myself bored to no end with fishing I have been thinking what skills are hard nowdays, and which can be bought in like 10 days (i.e cooking). I played back in mid 2002, so everything in my opinion was more difficult back then, with the game adding new updates constantly, which in general make combat/skills a whole lot easier So here is what i think of the skills : Ratings : 10 = Very Difficult , 1= Ridiculously Easy, 5= Hard, but still pretty easy Combat (Attack, Defence, Strength and Hitpoints) Rating : 6 - This used to be very respected, however with the introduction of the Over Powerd Pest control a couple of years ago (This has been changed now) I had friends levelling from 100 to 124 in 2 weeks..... So many no lifers got levels via pc. -Weapons and Armour have just kept on improving (especially with barrows, and guthans allowing for less bank trips etc.) This has made levelling combat much quicker. Sup sets are used in "power training" + prayer camping with the new piety giving massive comabt bonues. - AFK training at Bandits - this is just sad really... and does make getting 99 a hell of a lot easier (I will probably use this at some point :P) Range: Rating: 6.5 - Quite difficult although armour and bows have recently improved increasing max hits and accuracy. - Red Chimopas (hunter thingy's) Training method allows 200k + exp an hour .... this is some huge exp. Mage: Rating: 6 - Alot of players do it via alching; Still magic isnt the easiest skill out there. It has some good magic gear. Prayer: Rating: 7.5 - Dragon Bones used to be scarce in the markets - used to be much Harder to buy prayer (it used to be easily the hardest skill) - New Training methods via the ectofuctus (outdated now) and the Player owned house training method have made this skill quicker and easier to buy. Runecrafting: Rating: 8 - With the introduction of the abyss this is skill is 100x easier, although still not easy to level - Player Running made this skill so much easier (this has been changed somewhat with the recent trading changes) Construction: Rating: 4 - Came out Pretty easy, butlers help, if you have the cash you will get the levels simple as that. Agility: Rating: 9 - Although super energy pots have helped slightly with this skill it is still pretty hard. You have to put in the hard yards to level it up no excuses - Even with the new courses introduced the wildy couse is still the best almost. Herblore: Rating: 7 - With the GE and herbs being Cleaned over identified this skill can be bought so easily. If you have the money you can get the 99. Although Nothing can take away the fact that it will still take time even if you buy the skill. - New Auto make pots and 2nd ingredients make this skill easier to not pay attention too, I dont know if this is a time advantage to the skill though? But it makes it easier lol so much less work. Thieving: Rating 7 - The Plunder Pyramid update had made this skill quite a bit faster to level. Although it is still a bit of clicking :P and I would say is no "gimme" skill. Crafting: Rating 5 - If you collect all the raw materials yourself this skill is a 10. But players can just buy dragon hides etc. so easily and almost break even (well they lose a bit of money but not loads) Fletching: Rating 4 - So many people just "power flecthed" before the austo string updates etc. You actually used to make like 80k profit by buying yews and bowstring and making the bows and alching them... I mean that is an easy skill. Slayer: Rating 8 This Rating is probably closer to 10 - Slayer is a slow skill to train that is the fact plain and simple. The Burthoping of slayer assignments made it more bearable. - New equipment such as cannons, black masks, slayer gloves better combat equip has made this skill about 50 times more effiecient to train. - Smoking Kills quest will make this skill easier to train. Hunter: Rating: 5 - I dont really know i havent really done it, alot of high levels in it allready so it is probably int he middle. Mining: Rating: 10 Peer Input : 8 - Have had Runepick axe for ages now havent really been improvents in training time. Easily the hardest skill I respect any 99 miners they have worked hard. Smithing: Rating: 6.5 - Used to be much more difficult, however most players can just buy smithing so it isnt that hard. gold Gauntlets makes smithing fast exp as well. Overall a hard skill but easy to buy. Fishing: Rating: 8 - Power fishing means it can be easier to get - i.e fly fishing at shilo village etc. Still hard. Cooking: Rating 1 - Easiest skill to buy, I have heard of friend buying lobs and getting 99 in 10 days. I mean if you bought sharks it would be even quicker. - This skill is getting harder as the Cost of buying raws and selling cooked becomes worse. Firemaking: Rating: 6 - Can be bought , a boring skill that is all i can say :P Woodcutting: Rating: 5.5 - With the Auto invasion before the trade updates i saw like 100 99's with the names like 091828293 etc. This skill became a joke because so many autoers got it. - Pretty easy to Forums / IRC train, by doing other things to take away the boredom. Farming: Rating: 5.5 - If you get all the seeds yourself like i did it is a hard skill. Although it is easily bought, and actually relatively easy to train So nothing too hard here. Summoning: Rating? - Lvl 1 that is all i can say about this :) That Concludes what i have to say. And If you Have read this far you have read more than me :P Anyway here is where i pass it over to you what are your thoughts? AND PLEASE NO ONE WORD POSTS. If you want to Make a comment at least back it up with a sentence thanks. Here Are some Questions: Which skill do YOU think is the Hardest and why? Which Skill do you think Used to be the Hardest when you Started? Which Skill do you find the easiest? Do you skills which can be bought to actually be much easier, i mean not everyone had 100m?

If you got jellies from a lower levelled slayer master you will get the same Slayer experience as getting that task from any other master. However with the new smoking kills quest you will recieve "slayer points" for doing consecutive assignments, and you get more "slayer points" if you use a Higher Levelled npc. Slayer points can buy you a range of rewards and one of them is experience.

The new look is modern, pretty easy to navigate and overall quite nice. However!! I cant stand the huge bit for your name and avatar and posts etc. I reckon that is too large and the posts writing shouldt go to the very edge of the screen just my opinion :(

you cant compare black masks to abby whips it just doesnt make since to do so. Firstly there is limited supply of black masks with most players believeing the work of getting one is not worth 500k etc. So few players actually kill these things (and there arent many of them), and you need a quest to kill them and are an outright hassle. For these reasons we will see the price just keep rising, intil a point where it is worthwhile for people to start trying to get them. (ie id say around 1m)
