I'm one of those players who almost never die.... except when it's not a matter. I hate it so much. Last time : 1st kill at arma in two shots. i came from saradomin boss and forgot to switch prayer. Team and i came in, i hitted first (was exited). Kree did hurted had a friend who also forgot prayer but he was skilled in surch situation and activated it. Since i hitted, Kree turned on me doing a nice combo of 530-450 like hits before i got ROLed to Camelot. Ttrip time for me < 5 seconds. Now to finish the laughing time : just when i was about to get teled away, a poor geared played came in (but wasn't in team) and also got hit to death but wasn't teled. That arma trip still stay in my mémory like a warning on fight preparation. - Time before : jad (i still die there with no cape), and Nomad of course. Saradomin camp on laggy times and fail trips but allways got blessed. - Even before : TDs first attempts getting rushed by 3 of them. - Epic die sequence : KQ trip, got killed due to lagg and hard hits (i simply couldn't heal)... died again while retrieveing my grave and a 3rd time just after i looted it and broke it. - Die in quest : melee troll queen during swang song quest (piscatoris) in my best melee gear since i had to simply wear dhides (missread the guide). - 1st die in member : 1st hour of play in member, got lured to jungle men who poisoned me (lost full rune/obby cape/shield = strong part of my cash)

Went there just after quest but i didn't have uni and failed. Stayed away for monthes and i'm back there. I've seen 2 claws in like 5 trips. I started in range void range trio and moved with karil, both time with d hally. Last time we went, I was in range void + sgs and i felt way better and we killed them faster. Range void allow to hit the 300 in very few time and SGS is a win win win : Hit / Heal / Restore prayer. Of course turmoil when either usign darklight or SGS spec helps.

1. Use a timer. 2. How do you smith rune at your level? :blink: I don't. I'm just mining the ores so I'll have them already banked for when I do have the level. Besides, when I'm in that mine, it's for the Addy ores. ^_^; Along with the gold as something to mine while waiting for the addys to respawn. I must say : you're doing it good !

Hmm, like any great money making methods that don't run on your luck (rare drops), it couldn't be long to stay a 'good' money maker (that one has been pointed out for long now). Everyone want "Only the best" and, if possible, for less effort. But you can adapt by changing a parameter in how you make money from it. You could make your own amunitions and consider it like fletch xp (not money only). That way, "free" or cheap amunitions would make your trip more rewarding. And please, flecthing 3k broad bolt isn't that long. you can easily get 3k feathers from stores a day and bolts are available in higher number.

No for summoning but smith boost works

Please relax on 'being a noob'. you are not ! You wear the best of what YOU can regarding YOUR stats and accomplishments. Is the game called FashionScape ? i don't think so. Now people plays in skillcape to show how they deserved for it (not for their bonus). And often they fail. It's like Mining in F2P with full trimmed rune armour. What is the purpose of the extra armour weight when it's not necessary ? Leaving it in bank would makes him getting more ess per hour (more run energy). And the same fact is continuing in f2p. I fight with the best armour i can using best offense or defense when i think i'm ok or not (intenet connexion, being tired, ...) I skill with the best set possible (mainly with lightness dresses where awfull spottier cape > any skill cape) I most of the time play anonymously to make my way arround gielinor in peace. And when i decide to show off, i bring a good look in my eyes. So you fight in oby cape, it's ok unless you have better. You want better? continue using your cape untill you can get better, that's all.

thats cool then bro, i could never see the attraction of skilling personally i wont respect anyone for pouring hours of grind into a videogame, no matter how they choose to play it. it's what you do with your stats that makes a difference to me, be it pk/gwd/clanwars or kq, you need a certain ability. most level 3 skillers seem to grind hours and hours just to stand by the ge hoping to attract 'wow nice x level' or 'wow nice phat' comments - really, what else is there to do? personal challenge is a great motivator - but the only thing it should generate is personal respect - dont go looking for a pat on the back ;) Hmm, boss hunting on main is already a known activity. The noob lvl3 (that's how i call it) is only for seeing fast lvls and experimenting emergency money making things at top low levels. I'll never run after phat or even any rare on it since i even never did on main. imho, lvl3s are what pures are for pkers nothing else : experimentations of game limits. Though people can put it to the extrem. You respect people on their game activity... It's ok. I do give respect on people behaviour. It's like IRL respect on people's look ('bling bling' vs discression) like bladewing said : That is also so true. It's part of the competition to point people lack of power in surch situation... but sometimes, it's rough over the limits of respect to people. Doing this that way doesn't give them any sort of respect. so : Whatever you play like, it's only a pixel and the time you spend on it is your. Just keep pleasure and keep a real active life.

That seems highly suspicious... maybe their main drop traded 100k uncut sapphires? no no.Hhe was simlpy a wise f2p merchant who invested the money he got on the right times. Making it even better

Hello. You can't get a raven egg from MTK I don't know about ivy since i got 99 before it, but i got only 3 raven eggs along my 80-99 member woodcut after eggs came out and it was in the latest levels. My opinion : don't hunt especially for it, do you wc cape from cuting logs except if you are absolutly sure ivy can give you some. And be patient. You won't get many unless you are extremely lucky. A friend of mine also got like 2 or 3 in his 99. Of course, rabbit foot amy is a must-have. GL.

<BeingAnIdiotToo-on> Mooo ! What about a CoinShare ? I've experimented that coinshare often didn't give me loot... is that due to coins' humanbeing ? <BeingAnIdiotToo-off>

thats like saying - 'I'm a better person because I choose to wear no shoes - and live my life the HARD way with blisters and constant footache!! Gotta respect me, i'm hardcore!!' level 3 skilling - glorified masochism ha ha ha ! Gidion, My main is about to be maxed out and is well balanced. That's the reason i tried to make a lvl3 for the trill of danger doing things. And that's the only point i wanted to put in light... their life isn't easy, that makes playing those fun. I never told skillers (whatever lvl3 or not) are better thant anywho... i just pointing that working on it deserve persistance. And That is something good to have.

It's not just bots, everyone in f2p cuts willows. And they fail oaks are better geepees and way less crowded so... better xp in reality.

For those who are not respective with lvl3 skillers, i'd like to make them remember what a lvl3 life is : Your in constant danger of death and things are awesome slow (no tele). Along my strong warrior main, i got a tiny lvl3 f2p skiller i've much fun with. That account isn't awesome but the concept is fun. While wootcuting, i've saw many other die because of NPCs and becaus they failed @ luring them. Btw i've seen a lvl3 with 99 craft f2p : you can't argue it's nothing...

also missed my tries there but i don't complain since i never trained pray swaping. now, since i do some TDs, and doing better and better, i feel more in a way i'll get it. like Lalala or many other told : 90mins to jad aren't that difficult if you stay concentrated... even starting jad is ok, but healers are a pain... my thought are that i need to understand how to lure those the right way along keeping prayer swaping wisely. being calm enough is a "sooooo important" fight (in my eyes) is a bit lolish after 90mins straight. That's also why i consider loging out after last possible waves, have a nap and come back fresh and ready.

what i was about to tell.. now you can tele wilderness volcano and pass the stealing creation area to the black unicorns... enter chaos tunel here to find mossies and fire giant on south room portal. tele back to heal and bank your bones. risk of finding a revenant on the way there are very slim.

Thank you Shadow_Stalker. When Nomad quest came out i tried myself there at 137 cmb but i failed with gs on slash, wrong pray and sharks or brew/rests. Now i told myself that qp cape wil wait after i'll get some rewarding levels. So i got 96 sum (18 added space in invo is always good) and 90 fish (rocktails) from xp week end. i also waited to get some rewards in boss hunting to get my own bgs. Then i felt ready : extreme set, 5 ppot, rest in rocktail (me & yack) + 1 iron titan just in case bgs for spec, z spear (on stab) for fight and few diamond(e) bolts prayer on turmoil*soul split there we go.... you said "face me"... that's what i did, starting a normal hit with bgs and since it hitted i turmoiled + speced a 430 before being back to zspear on stab and autoretaillate on. i dealt the 75s and even the 98s... i failed on 4mans since i had to range all (longer) but the rocktails and prayer were enough to make my way up to the berserk state... then i switched to melee and finished the fight. conclusion : emptyed yack, failed at swaping it to titan since i was hitting him rough at the end and still had a nice 10-15 rocktails left. Was the 1st time i used those awesome fishies and they... rock ! Once again thank you and everybody's comments. Now, even if i've done it, i still feel a noob with failing at surch levels earlier. i'll work on strong fights & tactics soon.

@ bladewing Icon : Wow !!! You simply unlocked my thoughts on that point. Great thanks

Construction skill : build your own house from materials surch as planks from different logs. House delivers some nice helps for your own skilling like you personnal altar that allow you to x3.5 the prayer xp you get from a single bone (with 2 marentil burners lit though) If performs portals for teleports to 7 main location and the ability to make 1 clic teleport tablets (saving clicks and inv space : especially usefull in case of ermergency). That skill is a gold sink since the transformation of logs to plank is expensive. Hunter skill : the skill you track for small beasts arround Gielinor. That skill is an extraction skill thant can be fast. The ultimate beast you will hunt is the red chinchompa (at 63). They are wanted and bougth at nice price by stressed/rich rangers. They are amunitions in multi combat area. It explodes hitting in a 3x3 square arround. So if you use it on multiple and grouped monsters, your get max possible range xp. At high level, hunting those cans be some nice money (4-500kgp/h) Along the beast you can hunt, some very little flying imps are now available and can be hunted too : they are implings and can be good money too. A minigame hold some in a closed area accessible from Zanaris. Summoning Skill : soo many people told about it. This skill grant you the ability, to invoque a familiar (a pokémon ? i'd say almost).... Familiars are usefull in 4 areas : skilling help (with boosts or because of skilling along yourself too), combat (some familiars are strong and helps very well), Healers (they heal you along your fights) and Beasts of buden (they extend your inventory capacity, making gathering faster). That skill is involved in every other skills, making it a revolution in the way you train all skills. Summoning is based on the transformation of buyable spirit shards + pouches with some charms you get from killed monsters and some secondaries. Charm droppers are essentially slayer monsters so Summoning is very related to your slayer training. Though you can go and kill monsters that drop charms out of a slayer task. Minigames : New minigames have been created and i'd tell you to experiemnt each one. Just keep in mind that some holds very rewarding items and are worse the time spent. Wild and pvp : due to a war on real world trading, that part of game has been seriously reviewed. you'd better see it later and after some good reading in forums. People are now very powerfull. Trades : For the same reason the whole process of sell and purchase has bees revamped. Stores have now a dayli stock for each players. friendly trades between players are limited in value so you to block unbalanced trades. You cannont give me 20M gp without i give you 20M value items. Diying : now dying don't let your items on the floor, you can purchase a grave that last from 5 mins to an hour os so if a friends used his prayer points to bless it. It protect items while fighting bosses and block un balanced trades with death. In PVP worlds (old wild-like specific wilds), droped items are random. Their value are calculated from many critierias surch as the value of the items you risked, the time you spent there in danger area... Make X : For almost every skills jagex brought a Make X/make all in dynamic menu. example : Smith X bar at furnace. So, the games don't hurt your wrists anymore... but it also block high speed click players. All in all it makes the game hurtless but more lake a click and wait skilling... Grand exchange (GE) : added in Varrock, that area is where every player ends : to buy od sell their goods. it is a cross servers trade platform where every tradable thing can be bought/sold. Prices moves from the trades done in random periods from 4h to 26h length. you can offer + or - 5% of middle price. trades and their voumes move the prices up and down by + - 5% at each GE updates. Of course some items are manipulated by people and groupes but also by Jagex who can put corrections on some prices. Bosses : Strong bosses and monsters have been cerated with awesome drops. If old bosses are still there they are now deserted or at best soloed for the fun (not the rewards anymore). Now most of those are protected by quests and also by skill levels. The power of the rewards makes their price... and the fortune of the lucky people who got them. A mechanic have been added for teams that fight bosses to allow to share drops. the team is connected in the same clan chat (yes you can chat with multiple friends ingame). The chat toggles the reward split mechanism from coinshare to lootshare. Coinshare split GE item mid value price in every chat member who get the coins as a drop. IE : imagine a saradomin sword at 10M in a 3 man team CS (coinshare) .... they all get 3.3M cash as a drop. Lootshare is more complex. only 1 person get the drop and every others have their lootshare potential risen from a portion of the loot value. So, on the next loot, the player who have the best potential get the loot and every other rises. getting the loot drop your potential from the value of the drop.... That mechanism is more complex but nice too if you can manage your lootshare potential (LSP). Lately skills have been modified for high leveled players making the ending levels move rewarding of more easy/interesting to get. Best : herblore with extreme potions and the ultimate Overload. With a +25 lvl boot in the devoted combat skill (and all for overload)... it brought a very strong power to high herblore leveled fighters. it also put a rise on price for herblore related items and a stab in number of people required for bosses. 2nd best : prayer with Curses. Reward from a quest, curses are a new prayer tab with strong prowers. But those also require higher levels (last power is 95). like herblore, it raised bone market by far and stabed again number of people required at bosses. 3rd : Slayer. high slayers can now fight tough monsters that drop high value items making the end of the skill later than the whip. The top highest slayer master has also it own slayer dungeon where only slayer task can be executed. So that area is free of monster campers... fot the win of both player types. Some great things are thought to come too since the player are now very powerfull... and since the stronger monster of the moment can be soloed. Well, i think i resumed in the very large lignes the game évolutions.... i hope you'll see it went his way and some people are still playing the game that was promised to crash so many times. I wish you try to find your way now, just don't be too stressed to get the best items in the shortest delay... all comes when you are ready.

I've been lucky to get both Hexcrest and Focus sight as drops. So, i Combined those with one of my slayer helmets to get a full slayer helmet. Now, since i'm ending both slayer and range skills, i have 2 questions for the tasks i range (bloodvelds, fire giants, greaters and black demons) the normal way (i chin nechryaels and melee rest) : 1- What is best efficient armour between : - arma + full slayer helm - full arma set - void When i do so i use safe spots (no pray) and geiser titan when possible + normal ranging potions 2- what is the best amunition ? - cheap iron knives (fast and furious small hits) - steel darts i got for free along my numerous sara trips - broad bolts i use the two knives and darts for close range situations on low def monsters (bloodvelds, fire giants) and bolts for harder tasks (black demons) Thanks for advices.

Confirmed ! and very usefull. now, regarding spending 2k points (instead of the crap load of unused slayer dart runes) is something i could think about since i still don't have that xxxx fire cape. Though, when i think about it more longer, i still think i shouldn't. Yes, having ice worms as a possible task would be awesome... but doing so with only mage as a solution would cut into being effective. So, i will continue visiting Jad and hope getting more skilled since fire cape still makes a differente at doing those tasks.

Hacked zomg ! Dailies from shops are a must-have since you can make few cash from it with almost no time. Item gathering is ok for a gp urge Dragon bones/hides are a second way when you got a few wealth to get the required armour for a start. blabla... and so on up to boss hunting. But what everyone missed and still work that require no item (the less you wear the best you get) is..... DANCING IN BANKS for coins I can tell you it still works and is much fun Dress like Bob, Walk to a bank, type your cash claim sentence, clic emote and validate when dancing. Repeat (not too fast...) I did it some time with full show off armour and danced+asked for coins since i was poor... and got some geepees !

At 97 slay without fire cape (yes i do lol), i have enough points to pey for having icy worms in task yay. Though, i still have to go for Jad if i want to be effective there. Weldone ! Blocking a 5th task : wonderfull. Auto work for slayer tools : awesome. Jagex is still making boring things away for an even better gameplay.

The update didn"t changed anything YET !!!! It simply made things x10 for all related to ol HP. Skill is now consitution, and HP points are life points x10 Combat levels aren't been modified since lifepoints are comstitution level x 10 max HP un brewed is 990 Hits are also x10, so that you can see ols zeros doing hits from 1 to 9 that you couldn't see. Low level players won't hit so much 0s and will be less disapointed. 0s are still possible (i've made some). Healing values are also x10 so food and healers are 10 times more efficients. Monsters have also been x10 in life. As a conclusion, except for low level players, nothing changed at all for now. The update simply opens new possibility for quests and weapons/armours by making them work on lifepoints without any link on constitution skill level. For example you can have a potion that (like most of the postions) rise your lifepoints by 15%. so you can have 990+15% => 148 LP (low rounded). Then dinring pot allow you to go for almost 150 LP. Healing (familiar/food) will bring you LP up there. That is for the advantage. Now for the lowering. Let's imagine a ring or a magic spell that allow you to lower LP by 15%.... that would make your opponnent have 990-15%=841LP Then, whatever he will heal, he won't be back up over 841LP ! Imagine what it brings to PVP... That was the only possible way to allow further update along combat : quests, monsters and weaponry

Thank you to put some humour on surch a boring situation. I don't mind new player questions and often have. They are called newbies and often deserve to be helped for few days on friend list. They become noobs when they start having bad behaviours and never return. Those are simply driven into ignore list.
