Thanks, this was never fully explained

When did Jagex fix effigy drop rate? Any announcements on this?

Hehe it's okay :-) @ RPGamer: the thing is that it's not driving her down, just me. She is used to it and is kind of "indoctrinated" by it. Right now it's not much of a problem, since she is studying in another country. It's just that whenever I see or hear about her parents, I get annoyed. Since she is an only child they'll always be very involved or in the proximity, and that's what scares me :(

In general, I just have hard time with their way of life really, which is quite different from me and my family's way of life. They are overprotective. I had her mum call me once around 1 am because she didn't answer her phone, which is ridiculous IMO. They basically phone her everyday. There is a lot of pressure on her to achieve well. The bad thing is she is now putting this pressure on herself. Example: The atmosphere at her graduation was like a funeral, just because she didn't graduate with honors... (while in reality, she should have been glad she managed to finish her thesis in time, seeing how behind she was at one point). Not only were her parents unhappy, she's also this "indoctrinated" that she genuinely felt bad for disappointing her parents (even though she's doing one of the hardest studies around here and she should be proud she managed to finish them "on schedule"). Her parents don't seem to enjoy life, they nearly never go on holidays and always seem stressed about things, and they work too much (even though her dad is already on his pension). They never have friends come over (I wonder if they even have friends...). Their house is a junk yard. Her dad collects books and her mum antique stuff, and their house is literally so filled with it (I'm talking about a room filled with stacks of books and old furniture) that they are not inviting anyone there. We have been together for 2 years now and I have never been allowed to enter the house because they are ashamed of how dirty it is (yet they don't do anything about it). Her mum is kind of paranoid about thieves/criminals. Apparently she was once weaving around with a gun (even shooting once in the air) when there were strangers in their yard (NOT normal in Europe). I realise this all doesn't really matter since I'm dating her (which is going very well), and not her parents, but she is an only child so her parents are very involved with her and she with them (she doesn't mind all the stuff I mentioned, she is very attached to her parents). Also, when they get old, she will be the only one to take care of them.

Laid-out backflips

What if your girlfriend is an only child and you dislike her over-worrying parents?

Ever since Jagex stopped caring for this game, I started respecting RWT'ers a bit more as well, since they're in fact the smart ones making money of a game whose own developer is only out for money himself. While I agree with most of what you said Logdotzip, the few examples that you provided are probably a minority, I think. If you look at the average gamer, I don't think they're people that are desperate for money, living in a wheelchair on the street. I don't care why people RWT, that doesn't change anything in my opinion. It's just that I started realising that they're the smart opportunists, profiting of a system that's long been broken. If you wanna be mad, be mad at the people that buy gold, cause they are the ones creating a market, and gaining "unfair" advantage.

I have quit, but still I wouldn't sell my account for anything under $1k. I'm kinda debating it though, since it would stop me from returning ever. I am receiving many signs that it is time to move on, but still I keep checkign tip it and stuff :P.

I would agree with muggi that accepting donations is just a smart move from SUOMI, allowing him to be more efficient. Okay, it's less impressive than merching or whatever for your money, but it's certainly more efficient and reliable. Not to mention the time and dedication that he put into the game. I myself am pretty impressed (not that I'd want to do it myself though) by how he can continuously train any skill at maximum xp rate.

So few discussion about the new items? Surely those new mage robes have quite a big impact, no?

so full subjection is +9% magic damage. That is quite hefty. Much better than virtus if all you need is offense. It is also non degradeabel I believe?

Grats! Followed your progress on picture thread :-) You'll make money back in no time, it's so easy nowadays and pretty fun IMO. You've got all the essentials, that's something :-)

Battle robe. Nice, trying to get one too. You are trying to upgrade purple to yellow?

Damned you and your snow and not taking profit of it!

I think it was genius to put it as task only for reasons Bladewing has mentioned. What's the point of adding another slayer monster with a 1M drop? (not even talking about the overcrowding due to the awesome mage xp, which would lead to even more frustration).

Nice. What would be better, piety and protect, or soul split and some other curse (no turmoil, no 95 prayer yet);

Man if there was snow I would go out and have fun, not make some art inside. Skiing, sledding, whatever, I love it!

I'm pretty sure you can make around 1.8k pots per hour, when using unfinished ones OR extremes. It happens that special restore pots are the cheapest option out there (around 25 gp/xp) so that's 360k xp an hour. Extreme mage pots are even faster and cheaper, but you have to grind your own mud runes so in the end they are not faster.

Getting 90 herblore myself too. I'm having trouble getting super enegy's and antifires though. Bad move to wait for the "to settle". They still have a long way to go, if you look at the gp/xp.

grats!
