Ummm pking in normal gear, and tbing your opponent, isn't realistic. You have to use up 3 more inventory spaces for runes, and 1 or 2 more inventory spaces for magic equipment, to teleblock your opponent. So with 4 or 5 less food, or 80-100 hit points difference in health, your opponent has a huge advantage if you were to fight them in Edgeville, and you tbed them.

Hence we have Smite. Sorry, Haven't been back to check since about 24 hours lol. Have you ever tried fighting someone near your combat level, while they're using the Protection from Melee prayer, and you're using Smite? First of all, Smite's effectiveness is based on the damage you do to someone. When you're hitting 15-18s max, you're only smiting 4-5 prayer points MAX each hit. Oh, and prayer pots? People restore their prayer during fights. While you're hitting half damage on them, and they are drinking prayer pots occasionally to keep their prayer up, they are hitting twice as hard as you are. Smite IS effective at lowering their prayer, if they are not using protect from melee, and using the 15% prayers though.

I disagree with the author of this article. I think that if everyone prayed protection prayers, 1v1 fights would be extremely boring. I agree with Djmans on this one.

The prices are all about supply and demand, that's it.

N00binator has made me tele a few times too,

Way too easy, finished it all on my own, the first 50 minutes after it was released. I tried the reward for a while on kalphite workers and soldiers, as well as the scarabs in the basement of the Scarab temple. I didn't notice any difference, except maybe it was a bit more accurate. Whip is definitely better though, I was disappointed for a "high level combat" quest.
