Lunar_Drifter

Didn't know I could do that, SHaDoW.. There really is no deadline. Just try to get them in as soon as possible. I'd like to have the final results in by the end of the month.

Thanks! :D I've gotten 76 Hitpoints off them so far, and later I'll get 75 Range off them as well. :)

Well if you're done already, then you can just upload them to a file hosting server and post the link here, and I'll download it and add it in. If not, then don't worry about it yet.

Thanks, wurm. :) I'm up to 120 kills as of now, and starting again. Any kill count update from you all?

So you're automatically grouping him in that "arrogant pure" category? That's not very nice.

Learn to crop nub. 1/10 for cropping phail. 6/10 for the stats. Keep it up though! Get 99 Strength!

Tanks!

Woot! And 90 combat too? (I overlaid the combat level onto the level-up message ^.^) HP is my highest stat now! I prefer to have my HP above my other combat stats. :)

Why not just exclude all the pictures in the quote because it's uses up more bandwidth that way.. you know, posting it twice? Be nice to those 56k users (albeit a dieing breed).

Nice stats. But what exactly was the deal that you had? I've always wondered that since I first saw your RSN...

Nobody posts on mah blog.. :(

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the item with the highest alch value on top, and the rest are just random.

...They were commenting on the "-2" in the picture. As you may or may not know (I'm guessing the latter), you can't have a dash in your name. And I'm pretty sure they know what the spell is.

I heard through the grapevine that the owner was on vacation and didn't pay his domain fee.

I messed up my Range Calculations.. I accidentally equipped the bone bolts I had picked up from Fire Giants, which threw my count off. :? Now I'm sad..

Actually, you could go to the Brimhaven Dungeon and use those Fire Giants. That's what I do, and it's a lot less crowded most of the times. Just bring something to ward off the Wild Dogs until they become unaggressive.

It's on the first post at the bottom. :) You'll be the third RoW.. I think you should, if you want to, be in the non-RoW, then you can switch after 500 kills. :) Sound good?

It's up, but nothing snazzy. Just a simple, to the point spreadsheet. Please tell me if you're in the RoW group or the non-RoW.

Yessssssssss! I wub Draynor.Net.

So the testing will ensue soon. I'm gonna whip up a spreadsheet with 500 rows on it. Each row will hold a drop of a Fire Giant. At the end, you all will send your spreadsheet into me, and then a final compilation will be put together and the results presented. Now, wearing the same outfit shouldn't in any way affect the outcome of the experiments. So I'll go ahead and say that it is OK to melee, mage, or range the fire giants. As per an idea presented earlier by phata_elise, I'll be taking all the help I can get! Instead of relying on a select few, I'm going to want information from all of Tip.It! Please, please work in 50 or 100 kill increments to make my life easier though. So I'll get that spreadsheet uploaded and we'll let the party begin!

I was hoping against that, but I can never know. That's why I'm trying to get my information from here for one thing, from multiple sources, and from semi-creditable people. :) I have to go to work though, then do some homework. Then I'll be online. :)

I don't know, but I like the drops here better. Lots of high level herbs, including ranarr. Those are gonna get me some hefty Herblore exp and a good chunk of money. ^.^

We'll probably be starting this tomorrow, and it will be going on for a week or so. If you can't finish your data set, that's fine. We'll go with what you have by the time you lose membership.

....That completely takes the whole point out of it. Let's use an analogy: Say I have 100 pieces of food. Now, I want to sample that, so I take 10 pieces of food to eat. Now, concluding all of my information on this one 10-piece sample would not be wise at all. I could've gotten a bad batch, or ate them too fast, or was picky about something, etc. I would want to take more samples of bigger sample sizes. So, back to Runescape: If I only did 100 drops, then I wouldn't really be getting a nice, rounded representative of the whole thing. I could get lucky and have 100 drops of D Chains, or unlucky and have nothing. Now, from that first data alone, it says I have 100% chance of getting a D Chain, or 0% of getting one according to the second case. Now logically, you know that I won't get a D Chain 100% of the time. Taking a larger sample will even out that random stroke of luck and give an average for the drop rate. Got all that? I'll add all you guys in as potentials, and I'll talk to you tomorrow about this. :) G'night all! How many have actually followed through with it? dozens. Show me? I thought that was implied.. sorry. Yea, I was planning on having the same outfit. I'm thinking Rune Plate, Rune Legs, Rune Large/Berserker, Glory, Whip. No gloves or boots.

Join my chat if you ever need to talk to me. It's "M-0--0-S-E" (those are zeros) Ring of Wealth: Worth it? Now, the age old argument is between the group who think the RoW is the ultimate combat tool, and the other group who think it a waste of time and money. But, not many people have truly put this to the test. So, I think it's high-time that we make a big, huge, Tip.It sized experiment on it. Here's how it'll work: (1) Recruitment: For the tests to be accurate and fast, I'm going to need a few participants as well. Potential participants (that'd be you) must have a lot of time and patience to dedicate to this experiment. If you are not willing to kill thousands of monsters, recording every drop (accurately), then don't offer to fill the position. I'm thinking 3-5 participants (including myself) will suffice for this. (2) Experimenting: We'll start off with half of the group meleeing with the ring on, and the other half without. If there is an odd number, then RoW group will get an extra. The first case will be slaying 1,000 (one thousand) of a certain monster. I'll decide what monster based on experiences of mine and others.. haven't figured one out yet. Now, every time a monster is killed, the drop must be recorded, no matter how insignificant. Please record the number of the drop as well. If you'd like to avoid doing math, then drop the stackable item (that you're about to pick up) that's already in your inventory. Then, record how many of that item it dropped, and pick up the rest of your items you dropped. Please be accurate! If you mess up, though, don't be ashamed. Tell me, and we'll just warn others that there may be some slight inaccuracies. I'll be the first to admit that I'm gonna miss a number or two. NOTE: Please, if it drops nothing, then include that as well. Just put "nothing" in the Item Name field, and a "0" in the quantity. Thanks! (3) Concluding: Now once we have all the numbers, we'll put them all together in one big spreadsheet and make a graph and all that good stuff. We'll calculate the percentage of each drop, and hopefully what "wheel" it is on (common or rare wheel). Hopefully, that'll conclude and end the debate of whether or not it is useful. (4) Reporting: After we've done all this, we'll throw it together in one final report and present it to the general Tip.It population. Our experiment should be conclusive of one point or the other.. if not.. we'll do it again! ^.^ So now that we have the process down, we're going to need participants. Who's willing?! 1) Lunar_Drifter (RoW) 2) Brainymidget 3) Euphrenia (RoW) 4) hbk_hossack 5) klan_kaos Potential Participants (I'll talk to you tomorrow) Mat brainymidget maddavy2004 hbk_hossack klankaos (You'll have to provide your own RoW if you're to be in that group) In the meantime, we can discuss (on this thread or the already-existing) our personal thoughts about the ring and its usefulness. Please, no flaming or excessive vulgarity/harshness. Be nice. Respect each other's views. We're training on FIRE GIANTS! *sits and waits for fresh meat.. er.. volunteers* Anyone who is wanting to participate should download the attached spreadsheet. Put your name somewhere near the top on the right side so I know who made it. :) Happy killing! SPREADSHEET DOWNLOAD HERE
