I have no idea where the top are doing their killing, but I have been doing them at the Ecto farm, the undead cows there spawn very quickly (on more populated worlds, when a cannon shoots an undead cow dead, by the time it spins around once, it would probably have respawned). And I have been killing on and off, I probably put around 2h into this so far, headache is stopping me from attaining more kills atm.

^ that explains your lack of blog post two days ago... in a good way Goddamit why isn't GTA V on PC...

Top is over 10k kills atm, you'll need at least 200 kills to be on highscores (current 1000th is 165, but 999th is 166). Currently standing at 125th on 2,202 kills. My guess is that top will break 50k by the end of the weekend and 200k when the hs is over.

You will find the weapon parts on the battlefield randomly (skilling or killing), which consists of: Icyenic Bowstaff, Staffhead and Hammerhead, and Infernal Bowstaff, Staffhead and Hammerhead. Click on the weapon part with 1000 fragments in your inv, and you will be prompted, click on yes, and that weapon override will unlock, and the item and 1000 fragments will dissappear.

If you choose Emax's method, it is highly recommended that you use dual wield magic or ranged for their higher autoattack frequency.

Try this? When you fill up on adrenaline, use Natural Instincts, get full adrenaline, use beserk, drink adrenaline pot, then use another high damage ultimate after? You should have just enough time left in zerk to do this.

The killing method only really works if there is no one else on your world killing, if you cannot see any available mobs after running around the battlefield in 1 lap, hop onto a much lower population world. The FC should only be used if you really are that desperate for the metal fragments, since getting the same amount of fragments using the FC takes much longer than killing, and is only really useful for getting past the limit.

Both players in the co-op must either have the same monster assigned (numbers do not matter), or both have none. In case of none, one player uses gem on another to invite the player, the other player accepts, then one of you get the task.

Aha, i just took a closer look, it looks like I mistook your wrist armor (the silver part) with Chaotic claws, since they look the exactly same colour My bad :P

One way I see it is, if you remove shield bows from the game, arrows is the only style in the game that is completely incompatible with a shield (there are no 1h bows). Flimsy argument yes, but at least it's one :P. Speaking of which, Does a longbow do more damage than a 1h?

Claws? Spoilsport! Do it with gores! :P

As far as I could tell, the 10% 'bonus' of power armor is a misunderstanding of vaguely worded text from various places. The '10%' comes from this; when you wield the same weapon tier as the power armor, your gross damage is boosted by approximately 10% (it's approximate because the total damage from all parts of the set do not add up quite to 10% due to rounding errors). As your weapon tier goes up, your overall % goes down because the denominator got larger, but the absolute value do not change. Wearing less pieces of the set do not suddenly completely lose you that 10% either, you just lose whatever was on what you didn't choose to wear (in this discussion, the helm). So in effect, by combining slayer helm with GWD/Nex pieces, you have the benefit of both,

The key word is "they", not "you". It's perfectly fine if you identify yourself with a certain hyphenated name, but it's quite a different issue when it is forced upon you, especially if it is the wrong hyphenated name.

She is broke. Even Ah Wand and book still cost a good 8m, and she is slaying. Unless Barrage as already nerfed into the ground before already, magic damage is now entirely dependent on weapon level as opposed to only partially dependent. Not sure if that will affect her healing from SS though, I haven't used wand/book since that update. To top it off, Void is only really usable outside of tasks, inside of it, Slayer helm and GWD/Nex armors still trump void.

gonna wait out on GTA V, since I literally cannot play it at the moment (No console, and GTA V has no PC version).

For general use, Void is limited due to its low armor and LP boost, probably best used only in places where you expect soul split to consistently overheal you or you simply don't take damage. The only two places I can think of are Barrows and off task Ganodermic beasts (The former because you can avoid taking damage from at least 4 brothers, the latter because soul splitting with impact will ensure you never lose health fast enough for void's low armor to be an issue). For slayer, nothing trumps GWD/Nex armors.

Full void is almost completely useless for slayer (especially if you don't already have them), because of the existence of slayer helms giving the same bonus on slayer targets, even Akrisae's or Warpriest armor will give you more benefit over void, so you can safely ignore that. Fury is good enough for all 3. Zilyana necklaces gives only a very small bonuses over fury, you can focus on something else. Hiss is quite useless though due to Arcane stream. For magic, you might want to get a T75 staff (something cheap like say Polypore or the Blessed Ancient staff if you have elite desert task) will keep you going for a while. Also, for DG, I personally suggest getting Bonecrusher, Demon Horn and Arcane Stream necklace before getting Chaotic staff, since the former 3 doesn't have an equivalent or superior version available elsewhere, but chaotic staff is trumped by both Virtus and Seismic (sure, Virtus isn't cheap, but once you do get it at some point, chaotic staff will cease to do anything for you, while the former 3 will continue to be of benefit). I am sure there will be other opinions regarding the Chaotic staff argument, but, I don't settle for a second/third best when there are other best (and usable) choices available. For power armor though, since you already have SS and I assume you can sustain the continued use of normal Prayer potions, you may want to try the Fremmenik armor (that is, Rockshell, Spined and Skeletal armor) until you get enough for GWD power armors (the armor on those are quite low though, so it might not actually be usable for higher level slayer targets, but I am just throwing this out here, since these exist).

Identifying themselves is one thing, judging people based on their perceived origin is completely another. It's a whole different era of human ignorance (whether it's actual ignorance or pretended ignorance) when people starts judging people for being something they are not, especially when they have been informed otherwise. I sometimes do wonder if these people really are that blind, pretend to be blind, or voluntarily become blind...

If it is any consolation, the fact that this vote will last for 7 days suggest that Bol will be active for another week after this week, unless jagex is that daft to let us vote for a power that will never see the light of day. Given the amount of Tears i need left to get, i'll get about 1000 extra tears left over for xp (I have 19,500 worth of unlockables left to get).

I think it is happening to some after the latest power kicked in.

"This is america" .... I wonder how they'd take it if an American Indian won the competition instead

also there seems to be an issue with tears multipliers that it will not go down below x3 under any circumstances.,

According to my sources, Bol ends on the end of week 10, which is, 29th september. No idea on the second question, although i don't see the point in leaving it until after the very last day. I would have used them ON the very last day.

So the general RS population's recklessness resulted in less bonus XP's for everyone allround? PS I knew I forgot something, forgot to vote last week :(

extra ships always take precedence over any other upgrades, especially crew and ship parts, because the benefit of the extra ship will continue throughout your port career, while the crew and ship part will eventually become redundant as you reach your next zone, where the upgrade is simply better. An exception to this rule is the Seafaring hull from Bowl, since there are no SF hulls in Pincers (meaning after getting the 4th ship, this hull should be obtained first).
