Its just a bunch of pessimistic people that only look for the bad in people, and don't credit the people that are actually nice. Ill repeat what I said earlier - if you want a miracle, be the miracle. Its just pure selfish if you expect the good to happen to you if you don't return the favour.
When I had Veracs, I used to kill the Tzhaar monsters using the 'protect from' prayers. As I didnt pay for my prayer potions, all drops were pure profit.
2h'ed battleaxe. Kinda like what the barbarians have. 2h throwing knives? Imagine the speed.. I liked the idea of the 2 swords, 1 in each hand. Someone mentioned them on the 1st page. sacrificing speed for defence.
after getting 2 levels in one trip (purple sweets ftw!), I started to realise that it isnt a bad skill. You just need the patience to level it. Even though, on that trip I still had an almost full inventory of cakes left and decided to call it quits. Its a shame that my p2p runs out tomorrow.
Personally, I prefer a granite maul. obby is ugly. reminds me of my grandma trying to dance when you use it, (with a lil' clap at the end of each animation), and it doesnt have a spec.
