Totally agreed, 8k fragments at this rate is going to be exceedingly painful to get. Considering the renown debacle, I am heavily considering leaving the bandos warpriest armor if they release it to gwd like the sara and zammy gwd. Also, for those who are planning to get both sets of rewards, you must not switch factions between phase 6 and 7, because it takes more than a week of the normal 30k renown to get dragon token required for some of the rewards, or else you will not have enough time (it takes 7.7 days to get a token from bronze to dragon).

Yes, the alchemist will offer you a potion that can restore yoru gathering energy. I have no idea how to meet one though, or if it will be announced when he spawns.

Just did a calculation of the renown required to purchase the items from both sides, turns out if the event is going on for exactly 42 days (6 weeks), it is actually impossible to get it by the 30k daily, since we need 42.8 days of renown to do that. And that is assuming you only need to unlock abilities once

It upgrades automatically once you get enough renown, if it works the same way as it did from last WE.

If you have pvp enabled and simply construct/help on construction it will only take 30 minutes. Well at least on my world thta's possible now we have more people on the bandos nodes, a little while ago we couldn't even keep presence on that node lol. LAstly, any idea if turning pvp on has effect of decreasing weapon part chances?

Only Wand, no book. Claws have off hand though, which is very confusing

Also, what are people doing to get 30k renown in 1h? it looks like for me it's more like 2 hours.

There goes godless faction's Ideology... I have been doing a wide variety of tasks and have been capped at 30k the whole time. Says in-game that you can't earn more than 30k renown per day. I Stand corrected

I dont think you are limited to 30k a day, you just slow down a lot and get no xp after 30k

anyone got any Metal Fragments or weapon part yet from working on nodes? Turning PVP on as a bandos is an extremely bad idea, the parity is so large that even the node just outside the bandos camp gets swamped with armadyl players.

Good bye bandos, it was nice looking at you

Anyone where with experience in by passing the region sale lock on Steam? I bought FF7 back when it was released on Steam, and I noticed that, while I still own the game, the store listing for that game is removed for me, and FF8 is currently 'not available' in my region... would gifting work?

aint that the truth

Fire wave or higher, I'd use Air Surge because it costs less in runes than Fire wave and takes less inv space. But yes, fire wave is enough to coax the maximum from these staves (So can polypore strike).

You got till 31st january... Works for me, mine doesn run out until march at least.

I'll wait until the end of the promotion so I can wait out if they make any changes to the gold members, probably not, but i still have a few months and I will most likely still buy it, but... no rush to get it at all atm.

Pvp? why dont you just use blisterwood staff instead?

Depends on whether he has more cash or tokens, but I agree with Lioness, I don't think Chaotic staff is worth using over ABS unless 1. You are bossing, when accuracy matters 2. You have more tokens than you know what do you already 3. You already have a Chaotic staff.

Yes, No and Yes. If Flame Wave is cheaper than Wind Surge (which I do not think it is), then use Flame Wave, otherwise use Wind Surge.

For spells, the general rule are: 1. Don't use anything higher than wind surge on normal spells, and any of the barrage will bre pretty much the same as each other barring effects, so I'd still use Blood Barrage over Blitz. This assume you are not in DG and you do not have access to seismics, in which you should always use the highest spell available to you. 2. When choosing spells, do not choose spells whose requirement level is higher than the weapon you are using, except polypore strike, since its level requirement is an anomaly. Other questions: 1. Power armor's 10% damage boost is probably the most misleading statement regarding Power armor in the game. It is safe to completely ignore the % 'boost' and just go by the numbers. 2. Nex armors are currently one of the most used bossing armors in the game since, as a general rule, nothing in the game requires pop armor's armor and LP, so Nex armors are well worth using if you are willing to invest in the cash, although if you are only doing solo bossing, POP armor suffces until you decide if you want nex armors. Groups usually want you to wear Nex armor (no experience with pvm clans, but some only take those who are in nex armor). 3. Most of the prayer questions can be found in the wiki. Since prayer potions are so cheap now, there is no reason not to slay with the 95 curses active at all times. The biggest difference I have found is general found in the accuracy boost, I never pay attention to max hits. 4. No idea on how exactly effective are overloads, but I use them whenever I do combat, be it slaying or bossing. 5. If you use abilities, Critical strikes are 60% damage boost, on average, over non-crit abilities. An ability has damage range of 25%~100% of the damage written on its text, Critical strikes do 90%~110% of the damage written, so comparing the average, 62.5% over 100%, the damage boost is 60%, therefore every 1% of crit is worth roughly 0.6% dps (in reality it's less because Critical strike dps boost diminishes itself).

As a general rule, don't use anything higher than Wind Surge, since only DG and Seismics can make any use of any spells above that, and don't use any spells whose level requirement is higher than that of the weapon you are using (Polypore strike excepted, since that is an anomaly).

Anytime. Though I am a bit more nostalgic about the old barrow armor look lol.

Reusing my ancient Blog, Now I am tracking my progress to DIY every piece of Barrows currently in the game, barring Rise of the Six drops.

I would have gotten it if it was Runecoins instead of loyalty points...
