random events in barrows
Like I said I've never had a random in barrows. The CT do have randoms as when I first started training summoning I used the dagganoths and got 1 random per 45 to 60 minute trip. More commonly randoms wait for you to teleport out of a location then when your actually in a location. For example I normally get a random when I teleport out after camping a boss, slayer task or training area. Too many time to count have I got a random the moment I land at my house (since I pretty much also take house tab).

So, what the hell happened?
That all fair, but how many players saw shop update. O lets go to the shop, hence them find rune and shard issues. How hard is it for a tester to do the same? There are lots of simple bug which are simple to test and there "testers" seem to have a hard time finding them. As for the testing time why not beta test with real players? 2000 players for 1 week would be the same as 110000 players finding bugs in 30 minutes. Which a lot of them are found within a few minutes. Hell if you was to do a brain storm with 2000 players about some of the updates I'm sure they'd say hold on a minute what about x. The difference is there testers don't seem to be active players. You don't test a meat product on a vegetarian so why test a game with non gamers.....

What am I doing wrong at Armoured Zombies?
No worries everyones wrong once in a while. Void+Salve is a common misconception, no end of people get it wrong. In fact I had a 10 minutes conversation last night with someone in game about it and they still didn't believe me.

So, what the hell happened?
Before the summoning update your familiar could attack the general all it wanted to and nothing happened. Now either that was a bug or this is a bug as its neither been confirmation as a change, improvement or an aim. So its a bug. My issue with the bugs is the order there getting fixed in not the fact there are bugs. Logically you fix the biggest issues first then work your way down the priority list. If the theres a bug with the current system then you fix it before making any changes. You don't go and add more content to your work load greater. The RT5 added a lot things which testing would have found if the testers were real players. For example the rune stock levels, summoning shop stock levels, safe spots and so on. Yes every program has bugs, but Jagex always seems to let the most obvious bugs which 99% of players would find in seconds through the net. The phrase beta testing seems to mean nothing to them.

So, what the hell happened?
It seems with every update they enchance one part of the game, but break another. In the long list of broken things the more important ones get left behind, but the little ones get fixed. For example the summoning update was pretty amazing, but kills bandos tanking. They fixed the little other bugs, but left the bandos bug out there. The RT5 made every thing look nice, but broke a lot of things. Instead of the safespots, opposite moving and the other big bugs they fix the drop option in the bank..... So far I've noted about 8 system updates since the RT5 update and not of them mention the other bigger bugs.

Guide to Chaos Tunnel Mummies (Mage)
They suck for exp and are lots of hassle trying to line them up. Really not worth doing. Try skeleton monkeys instead.

New 10% extra damage?
...but they can be autocasted now. And with 'Charge,' God spells can hit up to 30 anyway. Yes they can be auto casted, but CoG is still better then SS or FoZ as its max is 33 and the bonuses of the mace far out way the small advantage of -1 prayer point or -5 magic levels. Iban staff has to be recharged very 50/100 casts (pointless for bosses and a lot of hassle for PvP) and Magic dart hasn't changed at all.

updates to range max hit calc, and HP calc
The range one does need updating, but theres a big lot of changes to range recently as well as there being more combination then melee. The HP calculator would be extremely inaccurate. As you can train controlled, use different spells and so on. For example I could be 99 magic with 10 hp.
-
New 10% extra damage?
Its worth noting Iban Blast, Magic Dart, Saradomin Strike and Flames of Zamorak haven't been affected as the staffs aren't on the list.

Re: Need a little advice
Summoning will pay for its worth pretty soon. Guthans on the otherhand is situational. Personally it love guthans (the set) and veracs (just the armour), but I use them for boss hunting more then anything. Summoning on the otherhand makes me gp while I fetch gives me a lot of hp for a very small cost, increase my exp per hour on any multi combat task, allows me to train fast and lets me have some cool pets.

Off topic help and advice
I don't know it could be helpful. For example these are a few things going through my head right now; Best place to buy relentless energy drinks (fruit variety) in the UK? Are there any vegetarian only takeways near me? How would I go about modding a RC car with a wireless camera? Any good fast recipes using x ingredients? How do you make those little boxes or boats out of a piece of paper?

Is the quality of food declining?
You can put on/ lose weight eating either healthy food or junk food you know... its the quantity, if calories in > calories out then you gain weight, if calories out > calories in you lose weight. It's not the weight which is the reason they took a lot of the crap out, it's how unhealthy it is for you. Yes more calories = more unhealthly. So by reducing the calories they increase the amount of food you need to consume. In effect meaning to gain weight with the newer more healthly versions (you can't get hold of the old full fat ones as its a recipe change not a new product) you'd have to eat more food. But wait your still eating the same size of meal therefore you feel full from the same sized meal even though it has less calories. Like I said making it harder for me to put on weight. For example if item x used to contain 500 calories per portion and I felt full after 2 portions then I would consume 1000 calories when I was full. Now item x has reduced the fat/calorie content by 20% so to get the same amount of calories I would have to consume 2.5 portions. But I can't consume the extra half a portion as I feel full. In effect I'm losing 20% of my calorie in take. Just like I said by reducing the fat in the foods there making it much harder to gain weight without drastically changing things. This is all down to people not understanding, when you feel full stop eating.

random events in barrows
Never had a random at barrows ever, same goes for bosses rooms. They normally appear the moment you teleport out of the location.

What am I doing wrong at Armoured Zombies?
That will lose you 1 kill as well as a minute or so every hour. Only run to the altar the moment it hits 0, not before and not too long after (every non piety hit is lost exp). To end the whole does it stack debate I get 7 to 10k more exp per hour using void then prossy so yes they do stack.

79-85 Ranged at aviansies
Like Ray said camping actually reduces your exp per hour by a notable amount. Personally I take about 5 bunyip pouches (1 summoned), 1/2 summoning pots, a few pineapple pizzas, normal supplies and the rest range pots. Without range pots your 5 to 10% less kills per hour. Banking take a few minutes in which time you can restock on supplies, heal on cheap food, restore prayer and so on. Banking often also allows you to bank the herbs which soon add up.

Tormented Demons Changes and Safespots
Since when? I can assure you that yesterday, Rex was NOT fine. Also, I heard that kree now randomly turns off range pray. Not sure if this is just a rumor or not, and I really don't want to try it out either. Was maging rex 20 min before i posted that... Can you also confirm prime doesn't attack you from the safe locations (where you can stand before the the lure with prime gettin you). Would love another confirmation before I go out and buy guthans (for the 3 time this month lol).

What am I doing wrong at Armoured Zombies?
Sounds very iffy. Last time I tracked my exp per hour I was hitting 70k to 73k per hour there (85,83,80, 70 prayer and using whip+defender at the time I was tracking). Using void, piety and potting every time my spec bar was full (I was using d b axe spec and restores/super attacks). The only thing I can think is you need to pray the moment you hit 0 on your prayer (mid kill or not just recharge) and pot every 5 minutes. You only need to run to the corner to get them to auto attack you. Remember the less you click to attack the more exp (less time you switching targets due to rangers). My guess is your not potting enough and are waiting till the end of the kill before you pray.

- 50k fire strikes
They are afk'ing which is against the rules as well as rubbish exp.- 2nd September 2009 - Shops, RuneTek5, Autocasting, Patches
Are all the safepots broken or just the main one? (This is for rex)- Blue dot on mini map..
Same clan cape or same cc I think (looks more purple to me).- 2nd September 2009 - Shops, RuneTek5, Autocasting, Patches
What if both ppl take a rune thrown axe and attack from 2 different doors? is it still possible? You both take either a range or magic weapon anyway so theres no need for rune axes. Although you'll have to be quick with the doors as you'll need to got north and south if you can't hit to/from the middle.- 50k fire strikes
Don't, just don't. The higher spells might cost more, but faster exp = less time training = more time making money. - 50k fire strikes
