That is all very interesting...So the hexcrest is the only glitched one, it is good to know that I'm not losing anything on jad tasks by taking the slayer helm, but I hope they are working to fix that issue with the hexcrest(not that I would ever use magic for slayer, but whatever).

Fantastic, so at least we have confirmation of the expected. Could you post a qfc/screenshot of the post, by the way? So the theoretical cog max should be...42-43, correct?

So mixed answers with no general consensus eh...very useful. It looks like hex/foci are crashing now so maybe I will be able to personally test and report back. It really would be GREAT if Jagex would just explicitly state the bonuses instead of acting so [wagon] backwardly about this...

I'm almost certain that they have always rounded everything down in the game with the only exception that I know of being shard swapping.

Has this... Always been there? From the way I'm reading it, it seems that they are basing combat xp on a sliding scale as opposed to a fixed 4 xp/damage.

Ok, that's 63 minutes since I started loitering for my second construction stone, suppose I'll pass on ever finishing this...

It depends on which dungeon, for bandos/zamorak/sara(not tanking) you just need to maximize offense(I'm assuming that you're taking a pony if you have 96 herblore). Also take nature and fire ruens to zalch drops, maybe 5 or so sharks and 1-2 brews/rest for emergencies. I like to take 2 ppots for emergencies as well, but you can usually survive on the altar with an average prayer bonus and turmoil+protect prayer. Also, I would suggest that you takeextremes instead of overload for team killing(not counting ffa), in th 5 minutes you will only be losing 5 points(without berserker) on an extreme dose, and after that you wont need to immediately repot. You will be over your max for longer on one dose of extreme than four doses of overload. For arma, my setup is overly complicated and personalized.

They also changed the way that you get experience from my understanding based on this kb article...

This is actually different now from my understanding. The KB says that ... "The experience you receive will vary, depending on the combat level of the monster you are fighting" I'm interested in seeign what this ends up being...

Picture please? For the unforunate who cannot log in, I really want to go to the riot too, there is enough nerd rage there to power NYC for a month. Awesome! they just put a decimal after the regular str bonus. And don't complain that it takes 2k points to kill strykworms. If you don't have 2k points by 93 slayer, there really is something wrong, and you can't blame that on connection speed. You could just get a fire cape. I like all these people that say if you don't have that by 93 your doing something wrong. 1. Post your slayer level. 2. Post your slayer points. I'm confident a lot of you are speaking from not even being above 80 slayer. I'm 91 slayer and have over 1k points(that's with me having wasted at least hundreds cancelling multiple tasks at a time).

Picture please? For the unforunate who cannot log in, I really want to go to the riot too, there is enough nerd rage there to power NYC for a month. Strength is "+8.0". :o That's the same as the old bonus is it not? and if I remember correctly from some random person, you get 1 extra hit per 4 bonus, so that would need to say +20 for it to be the damage, I think. I'm guessing that the decimal is a placeholder for future fractional updates.

It may have made a sound, but I was busy killing my dog at the time and could have missed it.

Well the construction ones do not seem to show up in your inventory like they said... Mine was plopped down near the portal after a few minutes of loitering and I almost left it there when I was leaving.

This is the only interesting question out of the hundreds of posts so far. No offense.

That is what I got out of this and I am not amused...however, I'm betting that a few percentage based healers will be more efficient now, even thought it sucks that most hp related mental calculations will probably need a calculator now... Ponies should heal... 148-149 hp now!! woot! Ponies are now officially at least 6% more efficient, high five? EDIT: max should be 1000 with an activated constitution cape, no?

Searching through rsof I've seen several posters claiming that they did not notice an increase on ormal monsters tasks but did notice a difference for normal ones. It is not that easy to get either item at the moment...so if anyone who has them could test and post their results that would be great...and glitch aside, I don't think the bonuses while the effect is working are even confirmed... What happened to that game query thing?

I have been eharing from various people that Hexcrests and Focus Sights do not work for monsters that do not require a slayer level. is there any truth to this? it seems hard to test....especially since jagex never explicitly stated either item's effect.

Long run, would it be better to keep a green or blue mask? I would rather not be bogged down in both(and I just plopped my santas in the GE do not trust them). Up until the last update greens seemed to be rising faster than blue... Also, I swapped a sol that I got off the ge for a green h+fury+2m or so random seemingly stable stuff...was that good or bad?

Agreed. For herblore, super attacks the whole way will be miserable. I would suggest that you use.... Super Attack Super Energy Super Strength Super Restore range Potion Magic Potions->to 99 with untradeables to boost All of those cost around 27 gp/xp(super rests are a bit more at the moment) and sell reliably.

Painless? I'm assuming that 100 is in addition to the 11 other trees, because spirits grow very slowly.

I'd suggest that you hide like a wuss behind Italy before you log next time.

You could try that leprechaun minigame if you realy want a spirit seed to plant.

That is not such a bad thing, finding the rates for gwd items, claws/lumps, d fulls/visages and any others that I forgot would still be worth the effort in my opinion.

From what I noticed just take a bunyip and ee/sgs for specs and you won't have to worry about health. They drop full waterskins every once in a while so pic those up and just go in normal melee slayer gear. They have very good stackable drops along with alchables, so take alch runes or a lumb ring along. I don't take skins to make room for drops, because they are not realy necessary in my opinion.
