Grand exchange by far. Makes my life sooooo much easier.

I found tanking to be quite effective. I'm currently camped out at aviansies on a 60 hour crusade to 90 ranged. Stats: 86 hits, 85 ranged, 80 def Wearing: torags helm armadyl pendant 10000 addy bolts rune c'bow obby shield sara dhide top zammy chaps snakeskin boots barrows gloves archer ring inventory Lava staff 1 noted addy bar 1 coin 50 natures space for airs space for waters space for bloods. excalibur 3 more torag helms I can use bones to peaches, so i'm staying down there until all 4 helms fall off. 60 hours straight at aviansies, boredom express. I figure on a 4:5 bar/kill ratio, and i can kill about 130 an hour with such a setup. that means i'll have about 8k kills, about 6.4k addy bars (which at current prices is 16m), about 4m in just alchable drops, and who knows how much runes. I will be giving away all herb drops. that comes out to about 20m profit. =)

Wow I just looked at your sig, then looked at mine and I realized we started on the same day. I don't have a pic right now, but I'll get one if you need proof =).

I can say I succeeded in the inverse of this challenge. Albeit, I started with 11.5m and ended with 50k 30 seconds later... Yay for duel arena!

I'll craft. =)

Jagex loses hardcore customers, while casual gamers adapt. New customers are more likely to be retained by the friendlier environment. the 3k trade limit encourages the GE, which is now better for any item worth 60k or more... 5% fluctuation, which I hope they keep at the very least.

I have to congratulate Jagex on their series of updates. Each update will cause a small portion of devoted runescapers to leave. The dueling arena killed the stakers, the merchants, or at least most of them adapted to the GE, and pkers will leave after today's update. These people bear one common trait. They are not casual gamers. Jagex is quite somewhat intelligent in changing their game so that RWT is virtually eliminated (though i suspect Bounty Hunter will be used on barren worlds to transfer funds), and a major reason players quit is removed. Many people quit when they are cleaned, whether its staking, or dying somewhere. With the tombstones and blessing system, there's a pretty good chance of item retention, and hence better customer retention. I don't like the updates, but I (think I) see the business sense behind it.

As a poor noob, i absolutely love the GE. It absolutely trivializes finding odd bits for questing, and selling treasure trail junk has never been easier. I don't know much about the fluctuations in the upper echelon of items, so i can't say much about that. But i definitely like the GE. I don't think it's killed merchanting

I believe someone got a Jmod response saying that staking was killed off to keep people from getting instantly cleaned then quitting. RWT was a side bonus.

Hmm... Mine would say: "Share! I TBed!"

Does this effectively mean people can get banned for holding drop parties? I'm really confused now. This update seems to imply the condemnation of private drop parties...

If your parents oppose your playing runescape, you might try to convince them that it's a worthwhile expense. Say it's a cheap escape from reality, which you need due to all the stress. You can also bring up that it's much cheaper than alcohol and drugs, and far less damaging than other methods of escaping from the real world. Or you can use pay-by-mail. Does anyone know if there is an age limit required to purchase visa gift cards? Actually, (sorry to hijack thread), but if someone could pm me with a dummy's guide to using visa gift cards, that would be nice. =)

Sorry if this query doesn't belong here. I was wondering if anybody here has experience using PayByCash mail payments to pay for membership. If you do, could you please tell me about how long it was between the day you mailed it and the day membership was credited? I mailed my payment 9 days ago, and still no news :( Thanks!

I'm considering tackling Jad as soon as members kicks in (2 days) 87 attack 80 def 76 str 84 ranged 56 Pray Should i use rune cbow + addy bolts, or crystal bow approach. Also, do you suggest using the ranger approach or guthans for my skill set? thanks

Excellent stakes! Too bad staking is done for. For some reason, i highly doubt Jagex is going to revert their bannage of 1v1 staking. On the bright side, you now have a 0% chance of getting cleaned.

My personal slang term for cosmic runes =). Don't think anyone else uses it though lol.

HEhe finally appeared in high scores today :-w

Don't do that, that is what exactly ruins affliction....people like you... Erm... I think that was a bit uncalled for. What I mean is join affliction now with main (lvl 101), and I'll start PC-ing with pure once i have 90 combat. That way i don't need to run dual accs on forums. If i went at any lower lvl, i'd get first priority pretty much every round.

Finally found time to log on, school's keeping me busy. I'll be cleaning this post tomorrow. Got 50 hits and 57 attack today, just as members kicks in. Found out minotaurs drop pure ess :shock: . In 15s too. Some relatively easy money there =). After hitting 59 attack, i'ma go visit gnome stronghold, and get myself a pwitty 25 agil, before tackling tree gnome village and grand tree for 60 attack. Then, it's time to get 31 crafting,by picking and spinning 1k flax, then 36 wc for lost city, followed shortly by monkey madness. :mrgreen: I'll probably stay at minotaurs for a while, as a friend offered to let me run cozzies for him and get 2 cozzies per ess (good money btw). It's too hard to find 2 nat crafters these days. I'll do waterfall quest (18kxp) to finish up for 70 attack =).

After a bit of contemplation, and a lot of talking with staker friends (a few atk/def ones too), i think i've decided to change my goal. Old Configuration: 95 Attack, 71 Strength, 93 Defense, 90 hitpoints, 99 cb. New Configuration:91 Attack, 92 Strength, 71 Defense, 90 hitpoints, 99 cb. I can change goals at any time, until i pass 71 strength/defense. Comments welcome =).

That was a rather productive friday. Went from 45/42/41 to 50/49/41. I have a math contest tomorrow, I'll try to get to 55/55, if i'm lucky. I'll probably only make it to like 53/50 lol. I'll start adding pics of levels after 60.

What do you mean by "saw legs"?

Looks like I'll just have to join with my main and PC with my pure...

Could someone post a link for Affliction forums for me? I'd like to know their policy on pures. Thanks!
