Leesters

Oh yeah! I've always wanted a hug emote. It would be different because you'd have to have the other person accept the hug. Can't be going around hugging ppl around runescape without permission, now can we? Hehe.

Actual odds of "drop rates" are not published by JaGeX. Any estimation of drop rates are guesses, rumors, and estimations. It would take alot of data to confirm drop rates, so be aware when someone quotes you a "drop rate", its just a guess.

You have been contacted by a JaGeX genie. A real one. He gives you three wishes. Three things that you could change in the game. You can only change three things, so if you have more, you must choose your three most desired things. What would they be? Here are mine: 1) I would like a red cavalier hat just like the Fancy Clothes Salesman has to be included in the level 3 drop list. He's the guy that returns your guantlets when you lose them, and sells you clothes item. He is located in the gated area of East Varrock if you'd like to drool over his hat. Hehe. 2) I believe that Iron Dragon assignments are ridiculous. Killing 124 Iron Dragons, or more, is extremely expensive and way too hard. I don't know many that fininsh this assignment. I would change this from a range of 20-50 depending on the slayer master difficulty. 3) I would make the Dark Beast, the highest level slayer monster, drop a unique and desired item. It would only be dropped by him, and you would have to have level 90 slayer, of course, to get it. Just like the Abyssal Demons are the only way to get a whip. I would make it a Dark Pickaxe, since there is a rune rock right there. This pickaxe would have a higher rate of success, and would increase your chances of getting a gem. Same as a charged glory ammy, but would not increase above the ammy. EDIT* Scratch the third wish and change it to: Be able to log out of the fight cave, and have the game remember where you were when you log back on. IT remembers your farming, your stats, your equipment, a hundered other things, I would change it to remember your progress in the fight caves. 3 hours without a break is insanity. lol What would YOU change?

Check the Archive of Wisdom stickied at the top of this forum. There is a guide linked at the bottom of the Quest section, called "Guide to Quest Exp" or something like that. It lists all the quest exp rewards. Very handy, and just what you need. :)

If this happens its a bummer. If the one door out is the east or north door, you can still use this technique. If its the south or west door, you won't have access to either of the outside corridors, and you will be using a safespot that is not guaranteed. (Meaning there won't be a door that has a safespot on both sides) What I do (if its Dharok because I never do Dharok without prayer or a safespot) is open the doors, and if its on the wrong side of the door, I'll bail, make him disappear, and try again. Yeah, this really is a pain.

The chest is stone? I need to be more observant. I'll have to look at this thing. Personally, I think the chest is not stone nor steel. I think the chest is "broken". lol I'm on the weirdest streak I've ever been on. In 58 runs I've received no items from the chest... except 3 dragon meds. Yes, 3 drag meds in a row. :shock: :? Is anyone else having issues, or is just one of those streaky things going on with me? I'm waiting for the chest to tell me one day... "I'm sorry, Leesters, but you have exceeded your trips to the chest, and you will no longer get any items but runes, racks, and meds"

Is this better than the normal gem stalls? Do they regen faster? Is there more stalls at the Rogue's Den? I haven't even been there yet. What quest is that again?

Scan what? Okay, I'll believe you. I have exactly 1 cannon ball at the moment. lol So, some questions: Can you set up the cannon in the room, then open an adjoining door? This would be cool, because... 1) if no rats are attacking you, the cannon will multi fire on all monsters in the room. 2) great way to generate a pinkie in the room, then sidestep it through the door, and let the cannon do its work. 3) would allow you to open the door over and over again to generate more monsters. Thinking about all this makes me wanna get some cannonballs. lol Does the cannon have to be in one of the big rooms? Can you set it up in the hallways and corridors? Does it block anything? I don't think the cannon impedes or makes monsters walk around it, does it? Nah, nevermind, I don't think it does.

Now, thats the right train of thought right there. The problem all starts with E-Bay. If you've ever been on there, and done a search of "runescape", there is even different categories. Runescape items, runescape gold, and even runescape accounts. Jagex does not like hundreds and hundreds of auctions on Ebay with this issue. lol. So, what they PROBABLY did (what I would do) is a few things. First, they called Ebay management and said that stolen property was being sold on their site, and they would like to know the IP addresses for these auction items. Ebay most assuredly would not co-operate by giving vital information for their customers, especially since someone from England is calling, and would have no legal leg to stand on. So now, they figure out they'll start buying some of these items themselves to find out whos selling them. You can buy 1 million gp for around 10 bucks on there, but the same people are selling multiple blocks So, they keep in the shadows, start tracking whos on Ebay, and start compliing their list. As you noticed, nothing about Ebay was ever said on this announcement. In all truth, its going to be very hard to "track" this situation, so this announcement is basically a bluff to discourage this type of rule breaking. Over a year or so, I'm guessing that they've compiled enough rule breakers to ban them all at once for Ebay trading. So, don't worry about giving generous offers. You are not being tracked if you're not selling stuff on Ebay. Be VERY worried if you decide to buy or sell runescape items/gold of of Ebay. THe person selling or buying may be an undercover Jagex agent. And the person you would be buying from is probably being watched like a hawk. Now, this is all ONLY AN OPINION of mine, and is not based on any facts. I have no idea, and am only guessing, assuming, and Bottom Line: If you want to keep your account, don't buy or sell runescape stuff on Ebay. But I wouldn't be worried about giving a noob 500k if you felt generous that day.

Really? I wonder how long thats been available. lol. Hidden updates suck. Also, twin brothers don't multi attack you now. So if you have two brothers (twin or not) only one will attack you at a time. If a rat is attacking you, the brother will wait. If a brother is attacking you, the rats will not attack anymore. The semi-multi attack mode is gone at the Barrows. I'll test the cannon myself. Thats a biggie, wanna see it first hand.

Hmmm... Its fixed. Don't know what you saw. :?

I think, I think, I think... bleah! Join me at 7:30 Arizona time (1 hour from this post time) and lets find out for K-N-O-W! We're gonna prove this once and for all. Leesters is turning his private chat on (THAT is always an adventure) and please join me to truly test this. The more the merrier. Lets all meet at Ardy lever. I want to test a 10 attack clan. I've never been attacked by more than that, so that should prove it.. lol. So, add Leesters, log on to world 9, and wait for my green name to show up on your friends list, and you can come wack on me in the wild with rubber chickens and whatever else you'd like! lol. Each one of you is going to take turns whacking on me, and I'm gonna retaliate with my rune axe. lol. If this bug is still there, we're gonna prove it TONIGHT! This is gonna be fun, I hope you guys read this. I wish I could edit the title..... Hmm... I'm gonna set a seperate topic for this. Mods, please feel free to lock the duplicate post or delete after the hour is up. Sorry for the spam topic, but this is important. See ya then!

If you just got a clue how many people have been banned just for testing a bug, you probably wouldn't want to do that. This comes straight from a pmod: do not consciously test bugs. If you find one, report it to Jagex immediately. With the way they've treated this bug by ignoring it for months, waiting for a big mulit-wildy update to kill ppl with auto skulls, and then sneaking an update by fixing it without telling us, I don't think they're gonna have a problem with this. And like the response was, its not trying to "find" a bug, its just a bunch of crazy tip.iter friends whacking each other in the wild. lol. I wish I was there. lol. I hope you guys are on auto retaliation, running around and eating so you get to auto retaliate different attackers. Try this... attack one at a time, and make sure that you auto retaliate ALL participants. It won't skull if you just retaliate against the same guy. Does this make sense? Have fun! I really wish I was there.

Careful, now, the fix might not be real. Sk8termaster said its not fixed. Test the waters before you trust that its TRULY fixed.

I'll go bring 3 whips into the wildy and try it out now! [/sarcasm] Sorry about the sarcasm, I'm still a little sick. Why don't you do it leesters? If you say its true then everyone will believe it, if someone else says its true then they would have less creditability. Yes, I'll be testing it myself, firsthand, tonight. I'll try to keep track of how big the clans are that attack me. I'll look for the biggest group of evil white dots in the multi. I'll let you know how many attackers the bug "fix" lets get after you until you skull up from retaliation. Supposedly, the game only remembered a small amount of ppl attacking you. Maybe they changed that number to 256. I hope so. I'll post results tomorrow. Pirkka, you're the bomb. I'm impressed you have Paul on your friends list. Could you ask for the introduction of a red cav hat, please? :P jk of course.

This burns me up. First they deny there's a bug. Then they fix the non-existent bug and don't publicly announce it (as of yet)! Between this and the ranger "walk of death" bug I wonder if Jagex has outgrown their capability to develop a quality game. I'd rather have no new updates than to have serious problems like this potentially come up every time they add new content to the game. From my perspective, this makes me very happy! No more auto-skull! I can fight back! I can take three good items! Pkers are gonna be all pissed off now, because they won't skull people, and we'll all be called "3-item noobs"! I can kill this warning! (First I'm gonna test it) I'm still suspicious that the conversation with "Paul" is a fake, and this is such a serious issue, I want to confirm it myself. Time to tease some clans! Anyone test this fix yet?

Hehe. Yeah, I know what you meant, and i don't blame you. Would have been cool, because I've NEVER seen any long term data on anyone JUST killing the monsters. It would be first time stuff. Was looking forward to seeing what you got. It surely would help support ANY theory, though. Come on, just a couple tries? You can just go back up the ladder again? You should do it! *gets Tip It Barrows Community to chant your name repeatedly* But I honestly don't blame you if you don't. :P EDIT! I just noticed something. You are getting sets of deaths that SHOULD be blood numbers! You are only getting 30-50 deaths?? Goodness, thats big news! You should be getting sets of 80ish deaths, and sets of 40ish bloods. Unless you are actually tracking blood runes and your post has deaths as a misprint?

If you do this without killing any of the brothers, then you will see what the monsters actually drop, right? Give it a try, and enjoy the new perspective.

Um.... you kinda shouldn't just make a duplicate post just because you didn't like the comments on the first one... lol. 5 to 1 odds, THIS is the one thats gonna get locked, because all of the good comments are on that one. Like mine. lol I really don't feel like going over ALL THAT INFO I POSTED AGAIN. lol. But, as a dedicated Barrows Educator, if they lock the old one, I'll go over all the kill count truths... one more time. lol.

Sigh. This bug sucks, and I can tell they are not gonna fix it.... 1) Its been around forever, its been reported by thousands, and they haven't fixed it yet. 2) I sent a bug report, and they gave me the letter that paraphrases "We know its a bug" as opposed to the letter that says "No, this is not a bug" 3) Its nowhere to be listed on the recent bug report, and I know of at least 40 people that has sent in the same bug report. They're gonna ignore an old issue, and I hate it. This is the first time I've been disappointed in Jagex. I think its a CRUCIAL bug, which costs players big time. If they are not gonna fix it, then they should warn people of the "limitation" Fix this bug, or warn your players, Jagex! *sighs again*

It used to be 58. I'm gonna need someone to verify this. No offense, but with 2 post count, I gotta have more ppl telling me they got hit for 58+ There was a rumor that he can hit up to 72, but I've never seen it confirmed. Has anyone gotten hit for more than 58 from the real Dharok?

Guide is updated to show the new kill count data. Kill count does matter, but only slightly. You could argue thats its better to go faster, and kill less. You could argue to go higher kill count, and take less trips. Unfotunately, I did not track the "time" taken when doing 10-20 kill count, vs 20-30 kill count. They probably provide around the same amount of drops "per hour". Hehe. Also, using Verac is cool. The armor helps your pray bonus greatly, and with the special, you might even be tempted to bash the melee brothers. REVENGE! 8) Replace your rune or dragon or Torags with Verac if you have it. Annnnnd... the super restore pot is a great addition, because if you're maging Karil the ranger, he is going to wipe away your agility levels. After one fight with him, I've been taken down to 18/70 agillity. And since this routine takes alot of running, this is not good. Super Restore Potions restore prayer (1 better than pray pot), agility levels, and any damage Ahrim did to your combat stats. Thanks for bearing with seeing this on the front page again. It needed an update and a bump. We're losing some guides on the Archive due to inactivity. :(

That is true, but they're pretty annoying to make and Jagex did hype them up a bit more than just the lvl 29 energy-dropping item they are. (I was thinking they would do entangle or make the enemy walk or something like that and be higher cooking.) Yeah, when i read this, I thought it would put you in instant walk mode, making you click back to run, allowing the pk victim to gain distance. Thanks for the info. Great post. Sounds like the beginning of a complete pie guide... (Where can you buy pies? How do you make the pie that increases fishing by 5?... etc)

Was there a bug fix update today? If so, wonder what bugs were fixed? Auto skulling maybe? They don't even have auto skulling on the list of bugs yet. :?
