Wow. At first I thought this would be some random interpretation and a total accident...but nope, "NOOB" is clearly spelled out... What other 'netspeak words do these monsters know? LOL? OMG? Haha, that is the most obvious and immature joke I've ever seen them make. Awesome.

New weapons have been added!! Can you try the Saradomin sword and Godsword for strength training? And of course Pest Control too! *crosses fingers*

Let me elaborate on that "not much better than the whip" part. The Godsword has a hefty +132 strength and slash bonus. The whip has a +82 strength and slash bonus. That's pretty hefty too. Why? The Godsword has a number to represent its speed, assigned by Jagex itself, which is four. The whip has a speed of 6. now, for some math: 82/132 = .621212121 6/4 = 1.5 So that's saying the whip is about 2/3 of the Godsword's strength, but 1.5 times the speed. The inverse of 1.5 is approximately 2/3. That means the whip is almost as strong as the Godsword (without specs) - but we're forgetting that the whip is a 1-handed weapon, which means you can wield a defender, or a charged dragonfire shield. I'll say you wield a defender, because it adds slash accuracy and not much defence. The godsword's point is to kill your enemy quickly, so it doesn't have defence. The whip for this comparison should be roughly the same way. With the new numbers, it goes like this: 87/132 = .6590909090909 6/4 = 1.5 Now that's even closer to 2/3. With the dragonfire shield, which adds +2 more strength, it comes out to MORE than 2/3. Which would, in that case, make the whip more effective. Of course, this is all without the godsword's insane specs. That's the only thing is has over the whip. Otherwise, mathematically, it is only as strong as the whip. In brute strength (raw str bonus) it IS the most powerful weapon so far. But who's to say a weapon with...oh...+120 str comes along? It will probably be faster. Maybe not 1-handed. Or maybe it will be - that would be even better. Sorry about the long post; I was bored.

Hmm...is it possible for you to do a reassessment of Pest Control? I'm getting wildly varied opinions on it...I personally think it's still a useful way to train, but I want your opinion (great guide by the way =P)

Okay, one day, many, many months ago, someone switched coal with iron on me. I was buying coal 100 ea (yes, I know, what a noob! This was back in the days - it may have actually been 150 each, but I know it was less than 200) and this guy offered 100 coal. I put up the coins' worth, and accepted. He declined, offered again, and switched the coal with iron before the second trade screen. By now, I was getting annoyed, and furiously hit "accept" and lo and behold, I'd payed 10k for 100 iron. The irony (bad pun) is that I payed the normal price for iron...so I wasn't really scammed... but I bet the "scammer" was really happy that he'd pulled that on me. Also, when I was trying to sell a rune full helm on a f2p world, I kept getting 30k-to-3k attempts, so I got so fed up I alched it. Grr. :x
