And got range to more experience than attack, first time it's been like that in a while. Been ranging miths non-stop for the past few days, killed over 100 today and killed 90 on Christmas with nothing, taking me to ~1500 killed without anything now, really starting to annoy me. I *may* try and get 20M range experience and thus get range as my highest skill, Think 19M range xp will be enough to get ahead of hits if I JUST range, but of course that won't happen. 20M range will be enough for the top 1,000 in range too, somewhere where I haven't been for a good couple of years now. None of my range experience has come from chins, and very little of it has come from cannon (500k at most) and none from Pest control, 99% of it has come from proper ranging methods.

Pfft, that's no excuse, I used to scape while playing Gears for about 5 hours each night! (Not at the same time!)

That's not too stupid Val, I had an even more stupid moment earlier in the week. Was hunting and decided to hunt normal chins, seeing as I *thought* I remembered that I could hunt them. Set up box traps, tried for 40 minutes and hadn't caught a thing! Thought it was just me and my usual luck, then another 20 minutes later, still nothing. I open up the hunter guide to see i needed 53 hunter to catch them, when I was only 49... that was not funny :oops: Bats could drop eggs, I never even thought about that they didn't and if I *thought* they might be bat eggs I'd have killed them for a while too!

Well in the KB says nothing about it and personally I've never heard anyone mention it before this. How much does it boost it by if it does?

Zamorak potions do not boost your prayer and thus are completely useless. The problem with the mixes is that they count as food rather than potions and a lot of people know (Mainly pkers) that you can eat a piece of food and drink a potion quicker than it takes to eat two pieces of food. So that's also a major disadvantage.

You'd be surprised how many people barely meet the specs, there are a lot of older computers around and just because you personally don't know anyone with one doesn't mean there aren't any. I know someone who passes the specs, only just though and they still have 56k internet.

No, if you want Runescape in "full screen" set your resolution to 800x600. This has been asked thousands of times before.

That would be the stupidist thing in the history of stupid things. My Current IP changes each time the internet reconnects, not only that but I'm home from University and thus have a different IP there then here. Some people probably travel for work or something and thus are able to access Runescape from a lot of different places, banning someone for using a different IP is just plain stupid.

High ranked Jmods really don't have many things to do as low ranked. I have proof that Jmods are ranked... For example.. Mod Mat K is famous for being ingame.. and doing things.. and there have been events where big clans (300+ opts) gathered and suddenly everyone get a random event. That is just how the game works, random events are either triggered by an "event" such as alching, teleporting OR they happen at a point in the "timeline". I can't really explain it, but you know how pots go down? When that happens the game also does a fe other calculations and other things I believe, this is when randoms appear. So it's not strange for them to appear to multiple people at the same time. You can abuse this system to keep a certain level for longer, for example pot up to 76 fishing, catch a few shark, log out before the level down happens, log in and you'll be 76 for a few more minutes, rinse and repeat. I also know a few mods in game (Most of which are higher "ranked" than Mod Mat K and they're always busy when they're in game. Well there's one that appears to be constantly slacking, he's usualy on his noob account but he claims to be "testing something" on there, not sure how much I believe that though :P

Nothing is really more frequent than others, sometimes you go hundreds of monsters without one, other times you can get about 3 clues in 50 kills. It's probably best to kill something you can kill the most quickly

Haven't given or received anything this year, however years previous I have given away mulitple santa hats aswell as other things.

Another term that is misused in RS2 is "PJ" or "Pile Jump". Half the people on RS2 think it means something like "People jumping" and it's used all the time, like when someone else attacks you other than the person you're fighting.

Ooh, had no idea it was you, Hai! Even with the multi/non-multi you'd still be "teamed" in non-multi, which was really annoying. We can only hope that the 1 vs 1 thing we've been promised works well, that way Bounty hunter will be like multi and 1 vs 1 minigame will be like non-multi, without the tagging.

"You believe" it is mostly teams, apparently you haven't spent much time there... if you did you would notice that it is pking degraded to its lowest level. Everyone 1 items, and teams... it is pathetic at best. And knowing jagex there will definitely be a catch to the 1 v 1 arena, not to mention they most likely won't get around to implementing it for a couple months. I highly doubt they will allow 1 v 1 pking anything near what it used to be. most likely they will implement some points system, which if done correctly could work out well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see... in the meantime i'll be getting 99 ranged on my pure..... What do you mean "What it used to be"? I used to solo pk all the time, until it just became stupid. Couldn't solo at mage bank as you'd run into a team of about 10 people where most of the time you stood no chance and edge was just full of people that would run when they're down to 10 sharks, and you'd get pile jumped 90% of the time. It doesn't surprise me that Bounty hunter isn't doing well, the pking community has been rubbish for years now and I don't see that getting any better. However, that is not a problem with the game but with the people that play it and thus the only solution to the "problem" is for people to actually have respect for other people and a fair PvP system. If the 1 vs 1 PvP "minigame" is good which I'm sure it will be then I may just get back into pking.

As a clue "expert" I can tell you that the monster you get the clue off does not matter, only the level of the clue itself (1, 2 or 3). A clue from a Dagannoth king and a clue from a jelly have the same chance of giving you a a rare. Don't think I've had to post about this since the week TT came out, good time trying to discover how they worked.

What problem is there? You have bounty hunter for pking, although it's mainly teams I believe. Jagex said they're be adding a 1 vs 1 PvP mini-game for the people who want to "PK" 1 on 1. How can there be a solution when there is no problem?

You're wrong.

But people tend to DK and KBD etc. with friends, all it needs is one of them to bless it and that gives you 60 minutes to get back there, no where in the game takes that long to get, not even GWD boss rooms. You can probably get back to KBD in 5 minutes anyway, barrows would be pushing it but I'm sure unless you go on the most empty world when the servers are empty-ishh anyway that someone else will be there, and the chances are they'll see your grave and either repair it - renewing it to 5 minutes, or bless it giving you an hour to get back.

If anything, it's now EASIER to get back and get your things, at barrows I'm sure it won't be 5 minutes before someone walks past and sees it and they'll most likely bless it or just repair it for you. There is no other reason for this update other than to stop being getting killed on purpose with a lot of gold on them as a way of transferring gold from person to person, a way which before was completely undetectable as far as I'm aware.

On Thursday night I did a DK trip, with someone, in this trip he got: Dragon Axe, Archer's ring while I got two Seerculls, That's about 5M of loot for him and 300k for me. On Friday night we go again: I get an axe and a mud staff while he gets nothing, that puts me roughly 300k higher than him. Saturday night, we go to armadyl with someone else, While getting the 120 kills to get into the dungeon he got about 90 of these drop (The person who I DKed with) while I had about 10 and the other person had 20. Now, I fail to see how that works, but ok I wasn't too bothered, maybe I was just getting unlucky. We go in and kill the actual boss, We killed ~15 of them (60 kills in there between us), out of those 60 kills, I had FIVE of the "main" drops (1k, 1k, 3 mushroom potatoes, 3 mushroom poatoes and 104 rune arrows) with only one of those being off the 580. I also had about 8 of the feather or boens that they dropped. Out of the 60 kills, about 40 of them fell to the guy who I DKed with, and it wasn't until he got a godsword shard drop that the other guy started getting all the drops. Fine, the godsword shard sent the first guy "over" me in terms of loot value, however the other person has had multiple items via lootshare, for example a visage and multiple meds off KBD and I definatly didn't expect to average a drop about one in every 10 or so! So why was I getting the raw end of the deal? Before this I'd never gotten anything good from lootshare (And neither had anyone I'd been with before). Without trying to turn this more "ranty" than "questiony" I'm just glad this happened before the trading update has come in, otherwise I'd have been stuck with just about enough money to pay for my sara brews I used that trip... let alone everything else I had to use.

Boss monster hunting will still be dead, even if Jagex find a way for us to "share" the loot. The reason being - Unable to "drop trade". All of the main bosses you're being attacked constantly and thus have little time to trade (Even so it'll be 3k, or so to be "up to 30k") limit. However it's VERY useful to just "drop trade" potions, food etc. between people in the team while killing the monsters. with the 3k limit we're limited to 2 sara brews and a shark per 15 minutes, it's impossible to trade prayer restoring items between ourselves (Well, we could trade in one doses!) and thus it gets extremelly annoying with people running out of food while the rest of the team has far too many, but there's no way to share it around. Hopefully the 30k limit will apply to these drops too, but even then it's probably not enough.

Believe I had 24 whips before getting 85 slayer, my first ever abyssal kill got me a dragon med. Not worth pieing there until around 82-83 imo, you use far too many pies otherwise.

90% of the people with the cape shouldn't even be called rangers, bloody chins/cannoners. Us proper rangers got 99 range via the good ol' bow and arrow method. I remember when I used to be in the top 300 for range, good times.

Works for me... Try that instead.

Had quite a good DK trip last night considering this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=s16LkNNJcOw happened! Did a trip the day before too, my friend got an axe and an archer while I got two seerculls. 5M each made in about 3 hours work there, not bad at all. Although I feel sorry for my brother (He maged both trips) and has yet to get a drop, I'm sure he'll get one soon enough though.
