ss or bgs?
Well whip doesn't help train strength so its no good if hes looking for a strength training weapon (since both SS and BGS are used quite commonly for strength training). BGS is better then Whip + Rune Defender at lower levels (sub 90/95 att+str) for boss hunting. Bandos legs are overrated and the only good value spirit shields are standard and blessed. The others are way too costly for the average player.

21st July 2009 - The Curse of Arrav (and Patch Notes)
Damn another quest with a mining requirement :wall: There the only quests which I never complete. Damn you Jagex. Looks like it should have a nice reward with those requirements.

RSOF Forum Thread: Summoning Response
1) Yes, let Jagex ask the community every time they want to update. That'll get things done. :roll: 2) Had you read the post, you'd know that it's not coming back. So you can get used to the new interface for it. Besides, I'm finding it actually pretty good to use, since it's easier to use Bunyip scrolls. :P They should atleast ask for some opinions on interface changes. Its been shown time and time again the people designing and coding the game don't play much. Any normal player will find numerous bugs in the game which the "testers" missed, even the simple ones like the edgeville bank north exit, gate in the middle of river at lumbridge or siting down in void (still the robe belt will float around head height). How hard would it have been to keep the tab until they had finished the summoning update? The second point is true with some familiars and the opposite with others. Combat familiars and BoB are a pain in the back side to work with.

71-80 Runecrafting
ZMI will be best for sheer exp. At 77 switch to bloods as there rising like crazy and will only be slightly less exp.

MTK - Manage Thy Kingdom
Only if it dips below about 50%, of course it depends on what you have the workers on. But thats at-least 50 days before it starts to actually lose you money. Personally I just leave it for a few days then collect it. As long as it doesn't dip below about 90% you still get one hell of a profit.

Games that you find overrated?
Looking over that list theres a few imo that shouldn't be anywhere near the top 20. Wii Play was bundled with the Wii and therefore those aren't true sales figures. Nintendogs was so boring compared to a real dog its stupid. Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, FireRed, LeafGreen and possibly Rub and Sapphire are bad attempts at redo'ing the pokemon brand. I lost interest after gold/silver as they over complicated the gameplay, tried to replace the solid base of 'mon the originals had and never met the scope of Gold or Silver (you get to play the whole freaking first game pretty much once you'd completed the first island). GTA SA lost me well before VC ever did. They try way to hard and failed to make it big enough to go wow, but small enough to navigate. I personally found GTA IV massively overrated (could be due to the bugs in the game). I found CoD4 on the 370 massively overrated its massively behind in dynamics for the campaign (pretty much use x path with no real y or z options) and the online play didn't have much balance. Not to mention the *shudders* auto aim on it. MGS2 was slightly overrated imo (did look nice though).

Seeing the exp per day
Nice little guide on making trackers in excel viewtopic.php?f=113&t=802195 Theres a few sites about which do the same thing, but I can't think of there addresses atm :wall: .

Loading Runescape
The easiest way to create a new directory and ensure its got the same name would be to copy and paste this into the command prompt (start -> run [search if your on vista]-> hit enter). MD "c:\rscache" I would download the latest Java as they normally help with a lot of things. Download CCleaner and remove all the current versions of Java you havem then go to java's site and download the latest version and install it.

Buying a New Computer.
NVIDIA GeForce 9100 GS, only slightly better then integrated. I'd get this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... 8089773975 and add this yourself (should be fine on the stock psu) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814127420

reward
I was about 99.9% sure it can be any level just level 1's are the most common then level 2 with level 3 being least common.

bandos
Whip+Rune Defender (nothing else is going to be as good at 70 attack). I'd try to counter your low magic, defense and lack of summoning. Say neitz, fury, karils top, veracs skirt, zammy cape/cloak (cloak will be better, but is about 1.2m), dragon boots, warrior (low attack means you need to max attack bonus really) and the best RfD gloves you have. Inventory 2 super sets, 6ish prayer pots, 2 super restores, a few brews, granite mace, tele tab and the rest sharks.

Best Boss Monster for me to hunt
I'm assuming you are calling my friend a noob, so I say stfu. He's good, doesn't die, other guys tank and he takes out the minions so he doesnt get pwned by the mage, and then attacks The General once he has taken care of them. Quick and easy kills all around. Honestly you can do it at any level above 90 provided you have a good team and you know what you're doing. That is a really bad method for any team. A good tank will use guthans and heal on the mage during the fight and the ranger after. By killing the mini's or half killing them your cutting down on how long the tank can last. Its also worth noting the mage will respawn if graa isn't dead within about 5 seconds of killing it. The only sub 100 players which should be in the GWD are pures (be it 90+ att/str or 95+ range) otherwise there pretty much leeching from your team. 2 level 93's (non pures) are about equal to 1 level 115 at bandos. Even then would you rather a 6/7 man split of a hilt or a 12/13 man split of a hilt? I take it by good team you mean one which is willing to lose money for the sake of helping a lower level? On the topic, giant mole, maging DK's, Bandos and Zammy GWD (would need a 8 man + team for people with similar stats or you could learn to tank or KBD.

Chasing Perfection: Jagex's Quest for a PvP Utopia
Nice read (better then some of the Tip.it articles tbh). I think the best option would be to go back to the drawing board. Like you said simplicity was the key, back in those days you could PK someone and know you got a fair share of what they where holding.

How nerdy is Runescape
Depends how you play. Like any game you can read into the gameplay and learn some of the maths and logic behind it to win or you can simply ignore it and do want you want. To be good at RS requires some brains and some basic knowledge of maths otherwise you'd end up spending ages with nothing to show.

Brainymidget's Dagannoth Kings Guide
I've just been toying with setups and noticed that blessed spirit shield is a viable alternative when guthans maging. You loss about 10 range defense compared to granite, but theres no magic negatives and it has a 3+ prayer bonus. So in effect you'd be replacing a small range defense bonus for a small magic and prayer bonus,which would (I've not started DK maging yet so this is theory) increase the the kill speed and your trip length.

Wallaski's or icetrolls (link to my almost complete ice trolls guide). By stack you mean normal exp right? Then yes. Its about 50 to 60k (without helms so 100 to 120k with helms) at ice trolls not too sure about wallaski's.

Greatest Underrated Games
I love Enclave on the original Xbox, McDonald Land and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers on the NES (both were never really too popular as far as I'm aware). Zombie Master was a very underrated mod of HL2. Desperado's Wanted Dead or Alive was my favorite game, but I lost it about 4 years ago

Solo Rex *serious inqueries only*
Your best option might be to to go with a group, but separate the cc so that only the hybrids are in ls or cs. That way you don't have to worry about prime and supreme or them getting your drops, plus theres the backup if you die. Definitely improve your summoning and take guthans if you can (you need guthans, 68/69 summoning or both)

emo is a trend your topic is about people jumping on trend bandwagon. So therefore you get people discussing emo's in your topic.

Tormented Demon's Titan and Uni
14 hp vs 8hp = 6 hp more per scroll = 18 hp more per special bar. So is having about 9 hp per minute that much better? Well you decide, its worth noting you don't get any defense boost and titans last slightly more time.
