Don't forget mining. I second these notions. I don't particularly mind drop rates for monsters being random, however. Even though I've never gotten anything better than a whip. . . That's a different problem. If it was random, you should see an increase in the sharks you catch per hour from 90 to 99 fishing. It would just vary a lot, but the average should get higher. You say it doesn't, so that's a problem with the skill, not the random system. I don't mind catching 100 sharks one hour, and 200 the next, instead of 150 every hour. Makes it interesting. Same goes for agility and mining.

Saying /thread is so cool. Anyway, I used to look forward to monsters rare drops, but I haven't been so lucky, so now I'm actually surprised if a rare drop shows up (for instance a maul at gargs, I had a dry streak of like 10 tasks, same for whips). It's a different mentality, really. I right click without this "omg, maybe this will be a whip" thought, so I really can't get dissapointed. I only get a bit disspointed when I get the "task done" message and realise it's been another whipless task.

Of course. Geyser is the first familiar that starts hitting very decent. Geysers are the start of GOOD combat familiars, with the iron and steel titan as ultimate fighting machines, if you are not too poor to use their scrolls often.

I like to get richer and richer. Dont know why, but it give some satisfaction. However, I don't like to grind for money, so my main income is some lucky solo merching. Best drop I had is one pair of dragon claws. Next is a 2 man drag chain when it was 15m. Not one hilt in GWD. I dont kill green drags for money. I dont do ... for money. But I do watch out with my cash. I dont like to just waste it (well, I do like some barraging from time to time, but I'd hate to loose 25m just because this AGS I actually never use has fallen that much in price). I dont have a phat, full bandos, or any ss, yet I do have 800m.

Seems like a glitched fishing cape to me, but it's always nice to speculate a bit of course.

I dont get the people that say rofl when someone gets a drop. I can understand the omfg, as stupid as it is, but rofl. Somehow it annoys me :?

What is his max hit, out of curiosity? He never hit over 50 or so on me despite him hitting me several times, and if the monster examine is to be trusted, he can't hit over 68 if you're properly equipped. In light of that, and the fact that you hit 115 hp after Saradomin brew, and that he's slow enough for you to drink two doses of potion easily, he can't even kill you with two max hits in a row. And the chance of him hitting that is slim, especially when he has a 50-50 chance of using the attack that's not being protected against... Monster examine lies. He hits 100+ (115+? :D), apparently. (me? get to jad? pffff I wish. I've gotten to the first 180 wave, that's all.) I think he already took into account the effect of the divine spirit shield. I know Jad can hit at least 97.

D skirt is very reasonable priced, so is dragon med. Drag square, dragon legs are in between. Then we have the d chain, d plate and or course the d full helm, which have a very high price. However, d chain and d med are unique drops from 2 boss monsters, and d plate more or less too. Making them more common would destroy those monsters, in my opinion. (allthough, in the end it would be the same, right? 5 chains in 10 hours worth 1m each, or 1 chain in 10 hours worth 5m).

What kind and how many ores are there in the new mine? Last release or a runite ore was fremenik isles right? 2 runites, and ...

okay paw, what you were saying is just plain wrong. I just used my pack yak, totally filled, and the burners lasted long enough. So, what we have: Pack yak: 3.5k each, can use full invent + your own with 1 set. Pouch lasts one hour. Tortoise: 9k each, can use full invent + your own with 1 set. Pouch lasts 48 minutes. Getting pack yaks is no effort for me since I'm going to use them to lvl up my summoning anyway. Yak hides slowly buy in GE, which is fine for personal use (I get a few hundred in a few days, which is much more than enoug for my pack yak useage). Getting hides yourself is quite easy. Tortoise shells however cost a whopping 9k ( ? ) each. Getting the second yourself takes a lot of time. What do you mean with extra clicking to take right amount of bones? I am filling my yaks whole invent, so I see no problem. I just need to bank once more, but that is worth it. I am already 96 summoning so I dont see how I could be getting loads of "dosh" (what is that?) in other skills.

Yet this is totally irrelivant to his question of "is void RANGE worth it?" No, it's not irrelevant. If you have full ranged, you only need the melee helm and you have full melee. Yes but it is irrelevant because he did not ask about whether void melee was worth it, or express any desire to get void melee. He asked: Is void range worth it? You're answer was (paraphrased) It is worth it as void melee is good for waterfiends. You're answer was totally irrelevant to the question. it sure is relevant, if you can't see that, you are an idiot. on topic: mathematically, it might not really be worth it, but it is nice to know you are using the best gear out there. Also, if you ever wanna have the best melee outfit (offence wise), you are one item (helm) away from void melee. On top of that, getting the void will grant you a little bit of xp + money too.

Care to explain how war tortoise is cheaper when the pouch costs 10k and only lasts 3/4th as long?

Same here. Has the update slowed prayer, then? (If so, is this going to remain the case?) well, make X slowed it down.

Cool, I also use all my prayer with piety before leaving. I feel its such a waste otherwise :-)

Simple questions: 1) does your burner last long enough to burn all the bones of you and your packyak. 2) do you fill your whole pack yak, or just as much as you can do at once (23 normally). Otherwise you need extra banking, which might not be worth it.

It doesnt remove a money drain from the game. The majority of the pouches were already exchanged for shards before. I NEVER bought shards that bogrog guy, because I could get my shards for 22 each by buying pouches and exchanging. Therefore, it was quite hard to get pouches (takes a day or so to fulfill offer). This means, all pouches that were made, were being sold. Even more, there was a higher demand than a supply. Now the demand is even highe, and pouch prices will go up in prices, untill you pay essentially 25 (or more) each per shard by buying pouches and exchanging.

why would they be affected?

Yay.

I like it, and also the part Cantristenon added. Lots of his things make a lot of sense and I have experienced them myself. Cant wait to get pack yak.

wow, I thought I was unlucky with an 11 task dry streak.

Cool, an update. I really like it, ashame I'm already 99 ranged and I value melee xp higher. I would just like to add that you underestimate the killing rate of mages with melee by A LOT. One can easily kill over 200 zammy mages an hour, probably even 300 with piety, a fighting familiar, and on task.

Congrats on 90 slayer : Wouldn't it be easier to put your scrolls in your slayer helmet though? Oh but I do. I bring extra scrolls for when it runs out, and I use some manually too, and you can't use scrolls inside the helm for that.

lol, he tried the world I was on first, then he hopped. I was like :o , and then poof, he was gone already, hopping.
