Dude you have way more viewers that me, but I have bigger muscles. What gives?

Yesss, I can't wait for this moment and I should be 91 by then. I plan to completely blow through the experience to 93. On another note dg can be made useful if they tied it to other areas of the game. The wonderful thing about fantasy MMOs is that most lore and objects therein can be dreamt up. They could easy have Marmaros use energy to create warped portents and signs for turning in energy that would augment things in dungeoneering or even outside. However you will it the lore is much like the concept of divination that you can bend it to your will. You just need to be witty and clever enough to create something interesting.

The night ended with 380k from leveling. What a crapshoot. Here is to hoping I can get at least 150k tomorrow.

damnit...

Oh god it should definitely... I would pay a good sum to see it.

Just watched Avatar the movie... Such an amazing film. Words cannot describe the emotion in that film. I am logging off with 450k to level so I have a bit of downtime to fall asleep.

90 divination and 90+all stats now. I'm quite proud of this. I was hoping have 91 before work tonight, but looking at the time I'll have from waking up at 4 pm to get 400k xp. Thats probably 7 hours of training. I'll probably get it down to 150-200k to level before heading off.

Yes, I remember that and I could imagine it being similarly to how we might use spirit shards in summoning. The summoning shards aren't primary ingredients, but are still heavily used. I would also imagine skill 2 being the "level your X" concept mentioned before. It has been stated that skill 2 would be something similar to steampunk. I would imagine skill 2 as something like steampunk meets the Full Metal's alchemists brother in the metal suit. The alchemist bound his brothers soul into a hollow metal suit. I could imagine us using skill 2 to bind energy and memories into our items allowing us to use guthix divine 'skillfulness' to enhance the items power. The more we work with the enhanced item the more we might receive in experience for skill 2 and the other skills we train. This isn't the first time I'm mentioned this and does seem like a very well working concept for both training and the lore attached to both divination and the lore.

Done... And its not a bad concept to go by really. Worst case is you need the memories and in that case most places are horrible to bank from so you could use the energy to make porters.

I'm operating purely on guestimates and such. I know its nothing solid, but with that notion its better to have something read for release than sitting there idle with your divination skill cape twiddling your thumbs. Sara mage made a point energy usage is 5x the rate I posted so I'm editing that in.

These are the values I am using to save energy for skill 2's release: Pale energy (3.7 xp) XP from level 1-10: 1,154 Energy used: 1,560 Flickering energy (5 xp) XP from level 10-20: 3,316 Energy used: 3,320 Bright energy (6.2 xp) XP from level 20-30: 8,893 Energy used: 7,175 Glowing energy (8.7 xp) XP from level 30-40: 23,861 Energy used: 13,715 Sparkling energy (15 xp) XP from level 40-50: 64,109 Energy used: 21,370 Gleaming energy (23.7 xp) XP from level 50-60: 172,409 Energy used: 36,375 Vibrant energy (31.25 xp) XP from level 60-70: 463,885 Energy used: 74,225 Lustrous energy (40 xp) XP from level 70-80: 1,248,441 Energy used: 156,060 Brilliant energy (43.7 xp) XP from level 80-85: 1,272,526 Energy used: 145,600 Radiant energy (47.5 xp) XP from level 85-90: 2,087,738 Energy used: 219,765 Luminous energy (52.5 xp) XP from level 90-95: 3,425,226 Energy used: 326,215 Incandescent energy (56.2 xp) XP from level 95-99: 4,262,873 Energy used: 379,260 Energy used is what I plan on collecting after I hit 99 to use on skill 2 when its released.

Its kind of an oddball long shot, but I'm trying to calculate what might be a good lump sum of energy to save for each tier when skill 2 is released. I figured calculating based on energy used with normal memories and without a boon would be a nice guess. Divination an the energy obtained from it are going to be used in skill 2 so I'm stocking up post update.

I was trying to get a working chart of energy used when turning in energy + normal memories without the boon for each tier such as level 1-10, 11-20, etc. If anyone is willing to take the time to help me with this I would appreciate it and many thanks for the time spent. I will even start a chart for you as well and give you the xp values for each turn in as well: Note: Energy type (xp from converting regular memory with energy without boon) Pale energy (3.7 xp) XP from level 1-10: 1,154 Energy used: 1,560 Flickering energy (5 xp) XP from level 10-20: 3,316 Energy used: 3,320 Bright energy (6.2 xp) XP from level 20-30: 8,893 Energy used: 7,175 Glowing energy (8.7 xp) XP from level 30-40: 23,861 Energy used: 13,715 Sparkling energy (15 xp) XP from level 40-50: 64,109 Energy used: 21,370 Gleaming energy (23.7 xp) XP from level 50-60: 172,409 Energy used: 36,375 Vibrant energy (31.25 xp) XP from level 60-70: 463,885 Energy used: 74,225 Lustrous energy (40 xp) XP from level 70-80: 1,248,441 Energy used: 156,060 Brilliant energy (43.7 xp) XP from level 80-85: 1,272,526 Energy used: 145,600 Radiant energy (47.5 xp) XP from level 85-90: 2,087,738 Energy used: 219,765 Luminous energy (52.5 xp) XP from level 90-95: 3,425,226 Energy used: 326,215 Incandescent energy (56.2 xp) XP from level 95-99: 4,262,873 Energy used: 379,260 This is apparently a WIP for me so I'll be adding as I go.

There is your "reward." Have fun.

Yeah definitely! I wish there was something better than a pharaohs sceptre to get there though.

89 divination. I'm looking to get 90 sometime tonight.

So over the first week on my new gym rotation I've made some pretty interesting gains in lifting. My preacher curl is at 147.5 lb at 11 reps. My romanian dead lift is 230 lb at 9 reps. I also weighed myself and I'm around 195 lb. I think I want to trim back down to 190 lb.

They could of atleast tried to make the xp rate comparable to normal mode. Now the hard mode will just turn into dead content. Only if you care about xp. The design concept clearly favors the more challenging aspects in a novelty setting rather than a traditional setting.

The amount of people surprised that the xp doesn't increase for hard mode amazes me. Hard mode is for players seeking a higher challenge than just speed floors. The xp you get after 60 prestige is already loaded and makes 200m fairly easy to obtain. The xp increase to the skill would be a degrading slap in the face.

Took me all day doing the daemonheim tasks, but managed to complete them. I just collected for the easy tasks. I'm saving the rest of the lamps and such for divination. Also finally got 88 divination. I'm going to stick it out and concentrate on getting 90 before I go back to work.

Yeah I just stopped trying to do the passage... So disappointing.

Surely (most of) the spare lamps were annihilated by the Soul Wars challenge? :P Yeah them bastards took 4 medium prismatic lamps from me... *sobs uncontrollably*
