That only effects the xp amount. It doesn't effect how you hit. What effects how you his is the attack style relative to what the monster is weak against (crush stab or slash). whip is all slash so they are all the same. (i think) Well in RSC if you chose a particular style of attack you would get a +3 bonus in that area. (If you were on attack mode you would be getting a +3 attack boost). I'm not sure if this carried over to RS2 but that could affect how well you hit using each of the attack styles. It did, that's why using strength mode usually increases your max hit by 1. Also controlled gives +1 to all 3 melee skills at once. Are these your assumptions or can we find this somewhere in knowledgebase? Or maybe some people did some well thought trials and kept record of the results? I personally never have experienced these differences in attackstyle (apart from the crush/slash/etc bonusses) so I would love to see some proof..

Not taking the trollpatch into account (because herbs can't die there) , this rate is definitely higher! Based on my farming-experience (which is greatly based on herbfarming), I would estimate 15-20% at least. Btw, a while before the trollpatch was introduced, Jagex had increased the dying rate on herbpatches. Quoting a jagex-mod: "all to make the game more balanced". Before this change, dying rate could have been around 10%.

250 average exp per chinchompa's seems not 100% feasible to me. Seeing your lvl I would calculate with 175-200 exp max!

ty for replies

I know this formum is full of 'what is best/fastest way tot train...) related questions. Personally I rather see all these questions banned to a sticky, however this time I have a more or less similar question :oops: What is for 80+ mages the best possible experience /hour? Never mind the costs, but please advice based on actual own experience and not hearsay.. Today's max mage exp/hour in runescape is 150k/hour? 200k/hour? 250k/hour? please advice edit.. changed title.. :twisted:

Exactly my idea. Despite the fact that I don't agree with some of the examples mentioned by the topicstarter (like hunter being useless), I 101% agree with his statement 'quality over quantity'! Should quality be possible with a frequence of weekly updates (which I doubt), then I'll be glad to see the weekly updates coming. However, please stop the flood of new skills, minigames, quests for a while and let Jagex update some existing content! There is so much to improve on existing skills and minigames...

I really dislike RS-forums, but maybe you're right.. thx anyway

in case it's not clear, I can pay you for your services... :wink:

I haven't seen my 99 crafting friend for a week or so. Getting little impatient because I need to replace my fury.... :anxious: Who can help me out and craft me the fury for the cut onyx plz? (i can enchant myself) Pm me in game or leave message here plz! hyjack01

red salamanders, falconry and even grey chinchompa's were for my levelling 63-74 a lot better. Also I've spoken approx 2-3 months ago with a lvl95 and lvl99 hunter who both were convinced that red sallies and falconry were the best options by far. Anyway, back on topic plz... at what lvl will I stop (or as good as none) failing?

.... and no, red chinchompa's are defintely not the best exp (per hour) in hunter! (unless Jagex made some changes during last few weeks..)

At what lvl will I stop failing catching red (carnivorous) chinchompa's? I'm currently lvl 74 and the reds often just touch the boxtraps.. I really hate this and would prefer just longer waiting for a good catch. I know this is not the best hunterexperience, but I like some variation and can use the reds for my range.. :) Any advice based on facts&experience plz?

nope, pity but you can use only 1 at a time ..

Possibly I didnt make myself clear.. You will hit more often with the attackstyle with the highest attackbonus.. This was part of his question, wasnt 'it? As far what you state, quote: "Logically thinking, training in defence would make you less likely to get hit... Training in attack would make you prone to getting hit, but make you more accurate" Could be logical thinking for you and me, but it's nothing more than a wild assumption regarding rs-combatstyles.. Forum should be somuch better if people kept to the facts... :wink: Or did you find something in RS-knowledge base that I dont know about, in which case my apologies...

Wouldn't it be more logical that you would check your attackstyle for the 'other' description, like slash, stab, crush, etc..and would check your attackbonus for those different styles? Assume you know that the highest attackbonus will give the highest rate of hits..

You can't imagine how much i agree with you. We have enough content, it's not like all player are maxed out or something (I'm not talking about all 99 skills). we need serious improvement in graphics, game play, renew old minigames, make them interesting. The only addition i would like to, is new bank. Thats all. i would be happy if next 6 month jagex won't introduce any NEW content. We need quality in this game, not quantity. my .02 Good to see that I'm not the only one here proposing this. However, I'm surprised that also in this thread many people ask for new land, new quests, new skills...Would be interesting to know more about their motivations to propose this. Have these players done all quests? Are they(nearly) maxed out? Do they play for very long hours and therefore need more variation? Or are they just getting bored all the time and therefore always crying for new update..?

I seriously doubt if you can catch 300-350 chins with lvl 80 compared to my 150-200 with lvl 74.. but ok, that's guessing , no fact.. :wink: Better experience for me: - red salamanders - grey chinchompa's (good spawnspot!) - falconry (crowded world with no competition)

this forum would be so much better if people only would reply on a question if they would state facts and not hear say.. As a lvl 74 hunter (4 traps!!) i catch max 150-200 reds an hour... For exp there are far better alternatives..

desertlizards can be quite annoying..they are considered being easy slayermonsters.. also a possible Burthorpe task and therefore not to be replaced by another task in Burthorpe

I would choose more items&content in existing skills. In general: Let Jagex give some priority to improving existing skills, minigames, graphics and so on instead of pushing new mingames and quests into the game.. There is still so much existing content what needs improvement/upgrading.

enchanted ruby necklace doesnt exist (outside mage arena). Only enchanted ruby amulet (=strenght ammy). So better make those..

It's a random effect. I've used it several times with soldiers roughly varying between 1 in 15 stabs to 1 in 60 stabs. Hits are approx 4x higher than usual with the dagger. Because its completely random i didnt use it for the queen yet

16,6

just little easier to click.. at least for me.. :) i suppose 650k for this little convenience could be little overdone..

Incense burners have all same effect, though the marble ones work slightly faster (easier to lit for me)
