On the Anti 76k trick, and those 'A kills B, B kills C' people - has this been tested? How do you know it doesnt involve C killing D killing E, F, G etc? The news release is pretty vague and says that legitimate pkers might also be affected, so maybe it keeps a log of who has killed you and who you have killed OVER MORE THAN ONE KILL. This would still count as 'trading kills'. What if its 10 different people to kill before you can go back or maybe 20? How good is your average clan organisation? G

What Langer said :) ANother interesting point before we blame everything on PVP - out of say 70k people playing, theres maybe 3k pvping? Is this enough people to effect everyone else? Are the amounts of money being injected by PVP players sufficient to skew everybody else? What costs/profit is PVP jsut now?

I don't think the GE is' {bleepin} broken' or the way people use it illegal, it is maybe amplifying the supply and demand aspect of runescape. Couple of thoughts - if something like a whip was 1.4 mill and stable and is now 3million or so, who is to say that the 1.4 mill 'stable' price was a CORRECT one? Maybe the current price is correct? D bones at 1800 were as a result of bots/macroers/farmers was it not? If it is purely inflation, why do produced/gathered goods go up in price? If coal was 180 and is know hovering around 200, and yew logs 330 ish gone up to 478? Is this rise purely from the extra cash available and everyone buying up all the supplies offering above mid price? Is everything compounded by the fact that people that used to make money from coal mining etc are now going off doing other things which produce cash but no resources? If time = resource then this is consumed by either gatherer or sold to someone else then no net cash is generated - only transferred. In PVP, as i see it, time = money therefore money is the only generated item (more or less). What about GWD and TD? are ALL the items produced there transferred to other people or does coinshare/lootshare generate cash but no items (or items which sit unselling on GE?) G

I think you need to put the high attack advantages in context - im 84 herblore and ranked 13k ish in the highscores - there will not be that many pkers who are high enough ranked in herblore to make these killer pots, yet. And bear in mind the time and money it takes to train this skill to this level deserves a reward of some kind. I'm all for the well rounded player having an advantage. G

Just a thought - does assist work with these pots?

Super recover potions - Super energy and papaya (dont accidently eat the papaya - Arrgh!) 200 exp old unused pots are going to skyrocket as are farming products

On the face of it, an excellent update - im already fairly high level herblore so this should be interesting. Undecided whether I'd prefer for them to be untradeable or not - basically still not an effective means to train higher lvls so I will end up with thousands of pots only i can use - another money sink for wealthy players willing to get any advantage? Will this drive up nests, toadflax, seeds and vials and drive down DFS? G

to those that say low quest requirements already:- "More experienced players will then be able to help him the rest of the way, getting extra rewards" Just wait and see for 5 minutes, ok?

But how do these compare to say, Rcing at lvl 77 :)

OK, but why green dragons instead of blues? They are easily accessible in fally dungeon via agility shortcut? G

I will shortly be getting a 3-4 day period where I can completely 'no-life' RS, within reason. At my current stats, what would make the most money, consistently, in those 3-4 days? I have the following provisos:- I have never been to GWD or barrows I dont PK I would give preference to earning slightly less money if i gained Exp I have around 25mill cash to spend if required on gear, but i a have a well stocked bank All but the last two quests done and most areas unlocked. Currently I have short listed Rcing, blue/green drags, avansies (which i havent done before) - I will probably throw insome heavy duty farming at the same time. Thanks G

Is there a drop table anywhere for PVP and BH? I havent had a look at all the videos, but I am watching GE charts. The long and the short of it is EVERY item that can be dropped by a monster/player will dropp over time - more are coming into the game than are going out, surely? G Currently sick of spiders and only have another 200 hours of them to go......

Stats as below: As a bit of a points junkie, I like keeping all skills high and lvl ish. This is great until I go to PVP and run up against a 99 str 99HP guy at my combat level. Is it possible to play PVP for more than 30 seconds at a time as is? What equipment should I be using? (i have whip, ddp++, barrows stuff, rune def, d square shield, obby shields, obby capes, d boots etc) and some spare cash :) G

Seems a very complicated system? If you are carrying X amount and your opponent is carrying Y, and you are within Z levels of each other after being there since last Tuesday, and another player is not in combat with you or your opponent, or a hero, and you are carrying flowers for your mum, you have an increased/decreased chance of getting something the opponent (who may or may not be your target) is carrying/has carried/has seen on the GE? That about cover it? G

So we agree spiders in stronghold? :) at my stats, I am getting approx 48k per hour not really paying much attention, with whip, rune def and bunyip. It suites me best as i'm playing at work and sometimes need ALT+TAB to the rescue :) G

Not wanting to get into a 'thing' here - but slayer is only good for melee stats IF you want slayer points as well - for purely melee stats bandits, armoured zombies, spiders etc are surely faster for melee XP only. However, if you want balanced stats and money and charms etc then yes do slayer - if you want fast melee xp - try something else.

can any one make one that stores the prices historically against date, so eventually we would have more than 30 days info? G

Not a PVP'er here, but i did benefit from it as a herblorist before GE came in. To answer the 'it doesnt hurt anyone' arguement - how can it be beneficial to someone who sits and kills mithril dragons for ages to get a DFS, to have somone with much lower stats and only 75k risked able to get the same drop? I like the point that Pkers were rich because they had to earn it, risking big to win big - not just slog away with a mate in some quiet corner. G

In reply to the original poster, both bunyips and yews and magics seeds are being bought out by public merch clans (search on RS forums) at the moment, and if they go to plan, will definitely go higher before they top out. Great if you are holding 600 bunyips like me, rubbish is you want to buy - I would wait two weeks for seeds as they will crash big time i'd imagine. G

Sometimes there is no satisfying some poeple. On one hand its all "we wish we knew what was happening, this was sprung on us!! Jagex never tells us anything!!" Then when we are given an idea of how long and involved writing a quest is, and the 'politics' and inter department collabaration etc, everyones all "boring no information" Take it for what it is - a small snapshot of what they are upto, and the thinking progress behind it. G

The people who are complaining about being jumped - isnt this how the old wildy was? anyone could attack anyone at any time? G

to the person that said ranging pedestals, when i tried them, it would have to reload your house each time, so it took ages. Not recommended. G

Out of curiosity - how much pure ess can you mine in yanille per hour? G

So if a person works hard to get 99 strength, its ok to use high strength attacks? So by that logic, if i train prayer to 90+, and its hard to do and takes ages, i can then use prayer? Its 'fun' for me to use ANY advantage to outlive my opponent - if thats prayer/eating/better armour or weapons surely anything goes. Why would I agree to make it easy for you to kill me, especially if you have higher attack/strength? SIgh - this arguement just goes round and round.

I would pray melee and melee them - dont forget antifires. I also use a terror bord for bones, but you are so close to edge that its a quick hop. I wear prayer boosting stuff, like monks robes, and take 4 4dose prayers and antifires, and thats usually more than enough to fill both inventories with bones. And maybe a super attack and super strength G
