At some point you may almost think that every single benefit from skilling (or training skilling directly through skilling methods) is much more easily obtained as a direct result of combat, but then that would be kind of depressing and we stop thinking.

Actually, Fist of Guthix is a combat minigame. Same in Stealing Creation if you're playing the game the way they "intended". (So, for instance, a pure skiller will usually get blown up by that guy with the ancients. Those WC levels aren't going to stop the ice barrage spawncamping.) Oh, but I guess you're right about the dragon pick since that's gained by skilling. WAIT NEVER MIND HA HA JOKES ON US Meanwhile, every force conspires to devalue every type of skilling drop, while every force also conspires to make the best drops from combat very, very exclusive. Hm I guess skilling wins over combat right

That may be the stupidest yet best thing I have come up with so far in the field of RS strategies. "Oh hey guys, I've got this arrow in my pocket, am I good to go?" "Yep, you're all right with us! Feel free to keep killing me."

BTW, would sticking a single Saradomin or Zamorak arrow in your quiver count as holding a god item?

Random point, but I offer my deepest sympathies for so called "games made for girls". UGH.

The prayer armor turned out to be disappointing (even though it does look fancy) but I'm not hearing many complaints about the ornament kits.

I think that ties with the earth runes.

I think they don't want to face the facts that there are now many godswords in existence, they're not that special, and you can buy or borrow one easily with enough funds. The resulting future shock would shred their brains.

Interesting tidbit: the orb of oculus actually renders complete face models for anybody wearing the new masks, so now suddenly you've got these strange things like noses, mouths, and eyes with pupils on your face. The meerkats do sound useful, and also the scroll allows you to pluck boxes without setting off some random drunken wizard with a poisoned dragon dagger.

Considering the sara and guthix bow specials heal you and the zammy one hits double damage, I think they could be useful in the right situations. Plus they all have prayer bonuses. As for bad rewards, there was that guy who just got a small pile of earth runes. He is the most pitiable of all.

Oddly enough the god bows are capable of firing everything up to dragon.

To be fair, the god bows sound really, really dangerous but we'll see how that turns out. Also some of those teleports have been wanted for a long time, and we can sell firelighters now so we're not stuck with them forever. In the meanwhile try to enjoy all the new costume gear and biscuits. :P

Eyes with pupils were banished from this realm for a reason. Bringing them back is almost an act of heresy!

I'm only going off of the cache image but the skirt looks like it got a full row of spikes along the underside individually tipping each plate. Hence my safety warning about not sitting down while wearing it. The cache image of the shield just adds three spikes on the top and three on the bottom. Big whoop. EDIT: when I was talking about design overhaul, I meant the change from the old models to the new models, not the trimming.

Well, I still consider it boring because even with tape or spikes glued to it, it's still a lame plain rectangle with a dragon tacked onto it, a design which isn't even black, so it doesn't match with the platebody. Considering the drastic design overhaul the other equipment received, I want that thing to be terrifying just like the rest of them. If you did look at the descriptions for the staves, they all mention their elemental affiliation right there. In the description. "This air staff displays the carved head of a fierce bat." "This fire staff displays the carved head of a majestic dragon." "This water staff displays the carved head of a proud penguin." "This earth staff displays the carved head of a fearsome wolf." "This staff displays the carved head of an inquisitive cat." Okay, you got me on that last one. They should fix that.

There was some glitch after the update that accidentally grants people many more times what they are actually generating from MTK. It was kind of fixed for some people, but many other people are still getting much too large gains, but since we don't know much right now it could possibly be because those gains happened before the fix and were not readjusted after the fix. Either way it's not likely that a rollback will happen. Meanwhile all related supplies are not selling for minimum because there's just way too many of them.

Well, yes, there is the matter of that one really large, mysterious door in the back that nobody has any idea what it does at all. But it'll be a while before that ever becomes an issue.

Sorry, only platebody. Have you ever tried putting tape on chainmail? Doesn't work well at all. Strangely, the dragon square shield that almost nobody cares about can be trimmed. I'm pulling all my relevant info from here even though you obviously can't trust the internet. But you can still trust MEEEEE. :wink:

You can use the books in GWD. Except the Zaros book. Don't know what you'd do with that besides avoiding his wrath once he comes back. And the cat spellbook is granted by Bob once you've completed the related quest and show up at his wedding reception.

Hm. I wonder what all the alternate god books' prayers are like? Bandos and Zaros should be pretty funny. No, not catalytic runes, CATS. All spells that require cats can now be paid for with this staff. I agree, it is kind of overpowered, but it should be sufficiently rare enough to... What, you don't use cats in your spells? What kind of useless spellbook are you casting?

Yes, clay tools are only useful to cut down on the cost of supplies. Well, I shouldn't say ONLY that, they can also serve a large amount of uses during quests and perhaps certain expeditions where you'll be away from the bank, but be near a large variety of resources, and don't want to carry all of creation just to make use of them. Either way nobody's arguing that point.

The five staves' descriptions kind of already tell you, but since you're too lazy I guess I could just dredge that up for ya. Bat = Air Penguin = Water Dragon = Fire Wolf = Earth Cat = Cats Fairly straightforward. If you are wearing the mask with the staff, you can also perform a specific emote related to what you're wearing. I haven't a clue as to how the huge variety of dragon masks affect said emote, though.

I'm glad that they made that choice, because PoH painted armor is already untradable and I find that extremely annoying. They should allow people to unpaint those now that I think about it.

That's a broom. Apparently the ornament kits are removable and reusable, so that basically IS yellow electrical tape.

So the (sp) stands for spikes? I guess as long as you don't sit down while wearing it. :D I figure the main difference between normal dragon and spikier dragon is that the spikes are made from quality dragon's teeth as opposed to metal.
