w@@t gratz so far. 1more woot.

This article is a master piece, it speaks not only for everyone but to some, pkers, it goes onto pking off and on briefly, and this is what all safers/telers/prayer noobs wanna say when they get called safer/prayer noob/telers, but they can't since they're under attack, i hope everyone who thinks that anyone who safes/teles/prays reads this and gives a second and thinks more about why they are calling the person the name they are. Also i say this hits #2 article so far, very intellectual, as usual, and it really does make you think twice, even if you don't insult people for "pixels", and if you do call people in some way from pixels you re-think and your opinion is changed. I also like that the "real-life heart is behind the pixelated chest", i think that sums up everything nicely.

Gratz on 97crafting wakka, only 2 more to go! keep them coming. Btw have you thought of your next skill that you'll be going for, for 99?

gratz on magic lvl, and ooooh pretty red light :shock: . Hurry and get that 99! and what someone else said bump zezima way down!

All those people who been in the dungeon and such other things, post pics of new monsters?or w.e. is down there! Also post pics of any new areas, if you can. Gratz misterxman for getting your nice picture on the gallery.

This looks interesting, time for an assumption, maybe this new weapon could be our whip in aggressive attack style, hopefully if it is powerful it is trade able and the quest is or isn't a req to weild it. Fun, off to do it.....now where's my lantern... :anxious:

That when you get a 99 you become a god-.- lvl 20 on 3rd pure at the time lol, figured out person was lieing when i asked someone with a 99 lol.

^ persons right, they seem to do in the middle of the month and at the end. However it does get a bit annoying, but i'm happy knowing i get an update every week. :D

Everyone is basically stating that the wilderness is ruined because of the so called unwritten rules of pking, pures, and problems with the rules today. The wilderness as previously stated is un-tamed it is to be. Rules in the wilderness do not exist and only exist to those who want everything to come easy to them. If you say keeping your hp above half is saving, well if they kept it nay lower you'd one hit them, now thats not very smart is it? They're smarter then you if they don't listen to you, however when you do safe you do lose alot of attacking opportunities and safing doesn't help you much either way. Teleing, jagex implanted it into the game and gracely put a teleblock above 20+(and 30+) which is really fair. Everyone who says teleing is horrible isn't, would you rather lose 25k-250k or keep it to save that 25k-250k for pking materials such as food, pots, runes, arrows? Tagging, well in non-multi i think tagging is lousy but thats my biased opinion. Tagging is a productive way to get a hold of a kill and is very efficient. so really tagging is good for killing, but thats why its called tagging, not teaming, its in non-multi. same with pjing although pjing is two people fighting and a third party who is unknown to the first and second parties and well it can go further but i'm tired. Then we also have the pures bit, whoever said pures should stay out or have their own place to pk and such is absolutely out of their mind? Do you really think because of how someone stats are they shouldn't be allowed to pk in this area? Its like taking away a right! anyone can pk how they want, when they want, where they want! also pures haven't destroyed the wilderness, they've helped you sell your nats, sell your fish, sell your crafted arrows, sell your smithing items, bought your pots. If pures weren't around think of the major decrease of buyers of your money making skills? probably 70%+ in a profit decrease. Pures help you more then you think they do, not just the wilderness, they effect the economy and make prices go up or down, sometimes bad and sometimes good, sometimes the bad outweighs good or vise-versa. If there weren't pures there'd be extra money, meaning higher priced raw materials or items. but pures haven't ruined the wilderness though, they've added more excitement into it, harder challenges and a whole new diversity of pking. Next when you say pures have ruined the wildy, please explain how they have. Someone also said about that the rules aren't enough and more rules need to be added and better defined. I could agree with this, or disagree. If one of the rules as no teleporting i'd say no. What if your doing a clue? going kbding? Roaming? and then a group of people come, and your uanble to tele out. Or running from battle, well same applys as above. If the way the attack system were to be changed it would be complete chaos, pures, main pkers, ruen pures, anything would be garbage and a new rise of pures/mains would have to be introduced to counteract those new rules/combat attack system. Imo the wilderness is still not ruined. and your view and how you pk affects your opinion in this topic.

Omg, i hope jagex copies Dora the explorer, my dream will come true! Lol, seriously though nice research and time and effort. This just makes me wonder, if u see things in AVP that aren't in RS, could they becoming to RS?

Prove that? do you have ties with jagex to inform you of what all the drops could be? It is very possible for an item not to be dropped or dropped and unrecorded. Chances are slim but this does happen. Don't talk about deceit when you can't really support 100% what your saying. that was off-topic, but the fact still remains that dark beasts may have a super rare drop and no one has gotten it, or unrecorded, and yes this is very unrealistic but it is jagex is it not? Even it doesn't need to be a dragon item, perhaps a rune plate even, or some high level herb, even though its rare, doesn't make them completely useless.

It all depends on your perspective of pking. If your a pure with one defense your probably gonna say the wilderness isn't ruined. If your a level 45 def rune pure your probably gonna say the wilderness isn't ruined but the money in the drop against rune pures isn't significant as it used to be, since rune defender, barrow gloves, possibly the fighter torso, and protect whip are not tradeable or dropped, resulting in a rune plate, rune legs, climbing boots, zerker helm, dds. As it once was full rune and a dds and sometimes rune boots. If your a main pker your gonna say no, because i can hit through pures easily, and i can ancient or tele-block anyone my level, resulting in a good chance of a kill, which could be worthwhile. If your a whip pure, you should say no since your high attack does hit through defense easily especially with a whip, and the kill pile is good either way. But then again its what your looking for when your pking, is it for the money of the loot? Good times? A honorable fight? Most imo are looking for the money area, and with the non-tradeable items being brought into the game and are being used, I'd say this aspect has been ruined in p2p and not that much in f2p. Good times are always to be found, whether it be your soloing or your in a group, the wilderness always carries good times, doesn't matter how your pking here. The way the wilderness works contributes here, the wilderness hasn't been changed in the attack system in ?forever? if I'm correct, so this aspect hasn't been ruined. Honorable fight, well back in rsc, wait no, back in rsc in the beginning of rs you'd get a good fight in the cabbage patch, in the beginning of the wilderness you'd get a good fight, but somewhere in the middle of rsc people started to tele, run, tag and such. Not to say these didn't exist, they weren't widely used and no one really looked as pking as a profit maker as many people do now. Honorable fights still may be found, but a very slight few still stay for death. Many do not tele as much as it used to be, tagging still exist but its easy to counteract. This aspect hasn't been ruined but it is on the verge of it. About things being overpowered, nothing is ever overpowered in rs. Everything can be beaten one way or another. A single individual can fend and possibly win against a team of four in p2p, and especially in f2p. And being pure or defense pker doesn't matter here, the skill of the pker matters. The only thing that matters in actual fact is the pking skill and the knowledge the pker has. In my opinion no, it isn't ruined, people only claim it is for they're upset they're losing hundreds of thousands of money in pking armour, but you to can use this armour, so don't complain. although i don't blame them for complaining about such a thing, but they really need to learn that everything is fair armour-wise.

Really? gotta go check that out. Heard is the key word, does anyone go into the knowledge base? It does stats or used to state that the tzhaar shop was the only way to get onyx gems, or something along those lines..besides player interacting. Anyways: I highly doubt dragon items should be collected by combat means if they were released, perhaps there would be no combat included in the path of acquiring the items, perhaps jagex would make skills(not new ones) to obtain the items. anyways dark beasts drop crap from the bestiary, but nothing on drops is ever 100% accurate, even bone drops, I've had chickens and dragons drop no bones or anything, and i was the killer, not attacking them at half or less hp, they were at full hp. So who knows, dragon plate could already be out, just no one has the drop, or its in the bank of that mod with the black phat.

MINICLIP w@@@@@@t. Actually brother showed me it from miniclip...he quite, i still playing lol.

I highly doubt jagex would do this,they'd lose members by the masses. They either achieve their 99 goals, or find that the hard working determined people are no longer rewarded with respect and such items, but the wealthy are, and the only skill that would require skill would be how fast can you spot an auction on E bay or who can get the lowest deal on E bay. The uniqueness of rs would wither away to a 0 also, diversity would no longer be in the game, communities such as tip it would be no longer needed, communities would be who can buy the most experience in a day, rs wouldn't be a game, it would be a machine. The economy would be full of sellers not buyers, no one would buy anything so most of everything would lower in price, until there's nothing left to sell and there's no resources or very little, no one would wc or mine, whats the point of it? yes there may be that little group who want party hat and work someway through skills, but even then it'd be better to do it through E bay. Once something is entirely directed at money, money is the only thing to matter.

Well from a previous topic i read something along the lines of: "When someone used to look at the character they saw combat level, not that 99prayer or 99herblore they may have, with the new capes you can ignore the combat level entirely or just add it in some-what, along side the skill cape". You almost always judged someone at first glance by their combat level or what they were wearing, you look at a level 3, nothing on, autoer!, you then see a level 3 with a red phat, skiller, you then could see a level 126 with no armour on or some noobish somewhat items you would think pc product, if u were to see a lvl 126 with full dragon and red phat, you'd assume that they took the time on all of their skills. With skill capes you can look at that 126 with noobish items on, but see the 99herblore cape and then immediately your judgment isn't a noob, but a very wealthy skiller or such. Skill capes bring respect to you no matter your combat level or the wealth of items you have one, but to some bought out skills aren't that great, but thats some peoples opinions~ a 99 is a 99, or it doesn't matter the skill, how you got the skill form 1-99 really matters~ Fire capes demand more then one skill to be high level, even some non-skills have to be high, such as money and experience at some pking reflexes or actual combat training on high or mid level monsters reflexes. Also combat skills and at least 2 different types of combat skills must be high level, or your very skilled overall in fight caves, such as range and melee stats, or melee and magic stats or range and magic stats. also money i think is at least 1mill for a crystal bow sometimes you need two crystal bows, also the pots are very costly, and this requires money, a lot of money. This means you would need to have knowledge or experience in making money and being prepared to lose it all with no profits money-wise. But in my opinion fire capes do require much more effort then training one skill, and probably more experience in doing the mini-game then in a skill. Putting that aside your left with stats, it is true if you have 99 def and good armour such as barrows a +9 or +11 will not really matter much, so either way can work fine, but if you did want better defense then fire cape is the way to go, but also prayer must be taken into effect. If prayer isn't the main key component in the type of combat: Steel dragons=higher your prayer and higher your prayer bonus=longer prayer=longer stays. Chickens=higher attack bonus and higher hp will allow you to stay longer, not prayer, prayer will run out faster then it would with 28sharks/lobbs then 28 pray pots. If your going for prayer and absolutely need prayer then skill capes, but if its for something like fire giants, fire cape would be better. In overall I'd have to say fire cape, it gives respect(unlike some skill capes do), it gives better defense bonus then skill capes, it has lower prayer bonus but combat defense are more widely used then prayer, it takes less time but gives just as much or should as skill capes, and who doesn't like lava running down their backs? Although skill capes can be argued just as effectively such as their cheaper to replace, but i highly doubt someone will lose their fire cape enough times to make it cost just as much as getting a skill to 99 and buying the cape. they give an emote, so do fire capes, just less enthusiastic. FUN! =)

w@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@t actually that was quite fast. Gratz!

Bought orange cape for 110k-.- stupid clan war....and the person who kept raising the price-.-. It was 50k then 78k then 90k then 10k-101k-102k-105k-108k-110k, he then gave in, i was really desperate to get to the war #-o

I've discovered this already and thats why i pking =) 6 good kills and counting. You did make some very good points, i think this is why rs is a very unique game as stated many times before, but it doesn't get to old to say, the freedom and diversity amongst skills, and the other aspects such as mini-games, quests especially(what other game has so many skills, along with over 100+quests? and you can do these whenever you want?). The only time in runescape is the time you make. In other words~Runescape P00NS all.

Yes. your not allowed to bring your own runes though, they are supplied for you. 15 earth air fire water mind death and bloods=normal, ancients. Although if you do not have the magic level to cast the lowest level spell of that type of spell(blast,strike,bolt,wave,barrage..etc) you will not receive the death-blood-?mind?-chaos runes, just the runes for the spells you can cast, also you can use the machine multiple times to get more then the 15 runes you get, using the machine 5 times gets you 75runes in each. =) This is where guthans is not so great. if the healer doesn't heal, then the less points received. Ha a flaw that jagex probably found and fixed it lol. Someone wanna find a way around this, that'll benefit the team members if they have guthans on.(i'm assuming people like defenders, collectors would not be wearing guthans but have it in there inventory for the queen).

congratz on 94, wow almost 2 lvls average a day. keep going!

Rs name: Inkofdeath 500points 2k iron. adds to my pretty collection.

Correct! and the game isn't complicated, u contact one person only easy as pie and att or collect or heal or repair one thing. Not difficult, can't wait till my friends come on...who actually have common sense. excited baout that high level risk thing, i wonder....abyssal whips? third age armour?ponders....

this game sucks when ur muted-.-, especially when everyones yellin at you, but the reason you not attacking is cause the collector doesn't tell u anything-.-, so then u get booted off team-.- thwen u see that team has kiled the queen. anyways other then that its fun, great love it.

lol, my topic is exact same time posted as urs ftw. -.- this looks good. omg, gotta go try.
