I'd suggest not embarking on a new dungeon after midday.

What's this about harvesting double the herbs?
from the BTS
Herblore Habitat....
There will also be the opportunity to concoct ten juju potions, each with really wild effects: a fishing potion that attracts the elusive baron shark, mining potions that invoke the stone spirits, and a herblore potion that offers you the chance of double herbs when harvesting. Those who experiment with their environment, attracting eight different creatures in a given week, will win XP and clothing rewards. Those who go a step further, and entice the elusive Guthix, Saradomin and Zamorak jadinkos, will receive an even scarcer prize. With seven new plants to grow and eight Construction features to build, Papa Mambo has grown an area that puts others to shaman.

However, I do think it's a good thing that they're trying to get the costs back to a more acceptable price. I'm just not so sure I like the means after what they've done to some of the other skills when "rebalancing" them.
The double-herb itself looks like another one of those "chances" skill upgrade, which usually means no dramatic effect on the skill . The update as a whole might have a bigger effect. we'll have to wait and see.
-
My impression is they're trying to lower the cost of the skill. With getting 2nds back using the Dungeoneering scroll and the ability to get double herbs while farming it seems that is the case. Although we're not sure how the double harvest will work yet.
Which then makes farming so much easier and possibly less profitable. <_<
Farming difficulty will not be effected much because of the double herbs (assuming you'll get double xp) ,herblore will . i agree on the less profitable part.
Overall Dark is right, It seems Jagax tries to reduce herblore costs to a "sane" level.
Wish they do the same with pray (POH update maybe).

Is there a faster way to reach the fruit tree patch there?I agree that the Brimhaven tree is somewhat outdated now, but I'd still argue that there's no better place to put it.Yeah, tele to Ardougne, and take the ship to Brimhaven from there.
It's not faster

Just wondering what might have cause this drop?
is it due to specualtions about the upcoming new mini-game (Herblore Habitat) ?
Is it just part of the general drop since the xp weekend?
is it just a random drop (people cashing in herbs/seeds for other things) and price will soon go back up?
What do you think?

As said earlier, there will probably be another bonus xp weekend (think i read somewhere that Jagex staff said that in one of their events).
If they follow the same time line, the next will be around March 2011.
I would like to hear stories of the past 2x XP weekends if anyone doesn't mind.
You can check the GE history for the last 90 days (Herbs,seeds etc..). It shows perfectly what was going on in the 2 weeks between the announcement and the weekend itself.
-
The Herblore Habitat looked promising but then i saw the required hunting level :wall:
I know where i am gonna spend my ping points this week...
overall looks like a great month a head
-
But how often can I expect to see puzzle boxes over all?
As with any other clue types, sometimes you get 2-3 on the same trial and sometimes none.
Dont think someone ever calcuated the average for that..
Do you get puzzle boxes with elite clues?
Yes - from RS wiki:
Level 4 clue scrolls are very long, and involve a puzzle box or celtic knot between almost every clue
And yes the celtic knots are much more painful
-
Dont forget to bring some Bunyip scrolls ("Swallow whole") with you.
-
I have the same issue in mind.
I think i am gonna split it eventually:
200k herblore
100k prayer
100k summoning
-
First, i'd go for herblore.
Second,If you dont need those levels now i sugggest getting to 63-65 herblore and invest the money left in herbs & 2nds.
There will be another Bonus XP weekend and when it happen you will actually more then double your money's worth (XP or cash).
-
Ragarding the Bonus XP weekend article - i agree with anything written but the conclusion.
Yes, there will be complains (as always) , and yes the economy will be shaken a bit but the Pros ,reduce grinding (and costs), beats these arguments easly.
Looking forward for the next one :thumbup:
-
I usually bring my usuall melee gear (bandos+dfs), 10 water skins,knife (there are some cactuses in the area) and a bunyip.
it works ok for me.
-
I'm not sure if the prices are the same as they were yesterday/a couple of days ago, but cleaning herbs is over 100k xp/hour and 4M profit/hour currently, assuming you can get rid of all the cleaned herbs within a day.
i also considered this method but my fingers didn't fully recover yet from the bonus xp weekend...
is there a way to do it without killing your fingers? does the Wakka's Mousekeys Guide will make it less painfull ?

:-)
herb 78 ---> 83
farm 82 ---> 84
construction 69 ---> 75
fishing 67 ---> 68 ( finnaly after 5 years can go into the guild without potting :thumbsup: )
wc 74 ---> 75
smithing 74 ---> 75
was good, could be better

There has been a bit of confusion about when this event will end.
I can confirm that Bonus XP weekend will finish at 12.00pm (midday) Tuesday the 7th of September GMT. I should know, as I'll be turning it off!
So for those of you who were concerned about it ending at midnight tonight you've got a little longer if you want to take advantage of it.

They could have told that earlier :angry: could do another palm & yews farming round

I burned out going from 72 - 75 RC and made it halfway through 75-76. I'm about 60% closer to my goal of 77 though, so it's not been too bad.
Yesterday, after about a year+, i thought about rcing abit, maybe get a level or two.
So, i switched to lunar, hopped to w70 (first time there) and started the routine.
After exactly 5 rounds with the raging hordes ,i run terrified to the moonclan altar, switched back to regular spell and logged out. I dont know how you people do it...

dont know about you but my multiplier just reseted itself back to 2.7
Yup
elapsed time as well...

It appears i was right after all
That mod was wrong. You still need the boost to plant the tree in the patch. I would know because I spent a lot of time getting spices to plant my spirit tree yesterday. I needed the boost to put the seed in a pot, and I needed the boost AGAIN to transfer the seedling from the pot to the spirit patch. If you need proof I have pics on the pic/screenies thread. The pics are only of me trying to get spices, which proves I acutally know what I'm talking about :rolleyes: If you look at my pic I have 2 spirit seedlings in my inventory, yet I'm still trying to get spices to stew. That's because I tried planting the seedlings but I needed 83 farm to plant them.
Anyways, what I would like to know is do you get the xp from checking the tree w/o the boost?
Ye, you are right, he was wrong about the transfer-to-patch part.
I still think he was right about the check-health part.
I posted another thread about it on the RSOF, hopefully we get a more accurate answer about this issue this time.
If we dont, i am not gonna take any chances tomorrow and will stuff myself with pies before checking my spirit tree.
