oldstyle

the barrows was the last decent update.

1 mil an hour is a stretch. people talk whips thats a joke, I've gotten three in a task and then not another for four more. Stringing yew unstrungs is a solid cash maker. about 100k every fifteen minutes. thus... 400k or a bit less an hour. but who wants to lvl fletch? I prefer to lvl things that prove usefull in game, herblore used to be a good turn around, but people destroyed the prices. now I don't much sweat the cash, just play to lvl up and have fun, and when cash falls my way coolies. if I need it, ummm I never wasted hours and hours merchin so I can make what I need rather quickly.

the best way to defeat the abyss pkers is to just lvl up. Trick one is take an ectophile. one click and outta there, two is wear black dhide and a bear's head from mountain daughter quest. (mage def) and most of all ....... have the nads to quick pot up and pwn the nubs. amazing how fast they tele, or try to when you aren't eating ess. watch out for pjers and taggers, typical behaviour of nub pkers. try to play on a world where a decent clan you are in plays on, and hangs in edgie and is near your lvl. avoid the worlds like six and eighteen like the plague. good luck to ya, it bites loosing pouches, but as for the glory.... if you think fast and drop it, and have that quest where you respawn in fally and not lumby done, you can make it back to get your glory before it appears. ;)

runescape is a horrible grind. but its become home. if they wish to create a new game where my three plus years of work and friendships become null... i'll just go to wow or maple story and max out in a month. hopefully its just a lure as jagex likes to do into another of thier garbage little games I do visit. rs is the golden goose and I think they know it.

ME2 was brutal. I've done em all btw, and that was by far the worst. some of them appear to be just mere timewasters, think about it, the faster a player gets his lvls up the faster some quit playing. Runescape is a grind. there are a minimum of two or three months of quests there. its all part of their business model. I'm thankful that some of them arent harder. the rewards I think blow. great I get a keyring, that doesn't take half of my keys!!!!!!!!!!! thats the sort of thing that peeves me off. I had hopes that this vampire filled one would finally mean our long needed blood alter... alas it didn't...

kiddo you deserve it. and much more. THANK YOU!

thank you. you contribute a but load of money and time with http://www.runehead.com/clans and are an essential part of the clanning, warring community. Thank you. and thanks ratty for letting me know. =) goan back to work this week, ;) donation to be following.

I'm having a massive problem with this crystal part. my numbers all match, and I have the green lights on (only on no arrows = it matches) on all three of the numbers I need to do the transaction, but... it keeps telling me machine is not fully operational. Granted for thrity I just used an indigo pentagon for the thrity and didn't use all the slots. Any clue guys?

yup irony, I"m not crying that rangers are overpowered, I never have. they got screwed on the mage short bow nerfing two years ago. My issue is with the fact that meleers can still achive a decent slash bonus with full black which a mage can't really hit on, (at 99 I do, but a thirty or soon to be a thirty five) doesn't compair to four dds specials by knights who wear range gear and take away the mage's only advantage of distance and "freezing" by wearing dhide which is meant for rangers, thus breaking the "pk triangle" by nullifying the class which is meant to defeat a knight. ancients are great, I mage. but lets be honest, there is no pk triangle, its range magers, and melee magers. mage is a non class. no defense, and completely vulnerable to the very class that it is supposed to defeat. I guess that you gotta melee in this game despite the claiming of classes by jagex. ok, done [bleep]ing, back to slaying and raising str.......

another great improvement to the game that I cant belive hasn't been implemented. Too few people know or have the cash to flash in the window to let the other party know the price ect. a lil "chat trade" button would make the world of difference. Great call. amazing the three ideas that would make rs so much more enjoyable that have been mentioned today. I'd swallow a non gameplay update month in favor of trading/banking updates. Obvious yet coveted improvements they would be.

the way to do it is to allow players to set a price and give items to a "npc merchant" and eliminate the spamming mess that is world two. requires massive coding ect and another array, quite possibly requireing the overhaul of the existing game engine. ain't happening. world two, fally park. ftw. it bites but it works.

customer service has improved but still is utter [cabbage] handled by interns. I don't think that the quality of customer/jagex relations would suffer much.... The java wouldn't be hard, I am barely adept at J2EE but.... I agree that it would consume alot more space, but would also lessen the load on the servers holding the bank array. Think about it instead of pulling up 160 items or whatever every transaction, for every player, the db could be streamlined to pull up perhaps twenty due to the field. In that sense this would improve game response, and save on bandwidth. again, I think that jagex likes us spending hours in our bank and allocating gp's for unused dupe items. It prolongs the average life of the average customer.

should be done, i've been saying that for ages. although by spending a month a year organizing ones bank and sorting things, looking and putting things in place jagex extends your commitment. its their business model man, it should soooooo be done. but sadly wont be.

sold my obby as soon as I got a defender. if you are training guthans ftw. if pking hiya free weapon/shield that works great.

meh. CBF with that one for now. I knew august was going to be a lil lame minus the prayers but cooking gnome food??? :S hopefully the tree pod things turn out tradeable and turn out to be an effective training farming trick. but... meh.

exactly, a person uses armor they are dead by diamond bolts or dstone, if they mage they are toast vs a ranger. a knight can put on black dhide and a dds... hmm where is the pk triangle? oooo mage is supplimental. I don't mind but please bill it as such, and not claim it as a real class. These bolts will be changing things greatly, the REAL question is what will jagex counter with? 8x30 dds 1x41 rune cb and dstone, 99hps total... where does it end? or do we just two hit one another?

true three sets, which are all "accesories to the main combat classes" no biggie I do more than mage, just saying, melee with dds can two or three hit, easy, rangers as well, mages? oh shoot I got a 30 with barrage what next while this guy slaps on black dhide and uses bug abuse "dds" to pwon me? it just makes mage a definate non class. I'm not complaining, as I do more than one and will use my mage advantage, but the fact remains mage is not a "real class" only an add on. contrary to what was promised it would become. this isn't the place for this discussion and i'm sorry for it. Huzzah Dstone bolts for 41-60 FTW!!!!!!! (soften em up with diamonds kiddies!) its a cool update but the underlying problem is that hps max out at 99. raising attacks to the two or three hit lvl is just causing faster deaths. sorta gay if you ask me.

did a little testing at the duel arena with a realativly pure friend of mine. with no armor I found the saphs and ruby ones to be highly ineffective. out of perhaps 40 shots with the ruby (e) I landed ONE special. a 19 for which I recieved 7 damage. With he in rune armor I hit a combo of 19 18 19 17 on him. (granted there were quite a few 0's preceding this.) The dstone and obbys I haven't played with as I'm waiting for a 99 smither bud to show her face today. ;) It will greatly skew the wildy though I think, although that rune bow is as slow as frozen piss. Could use an extra row of bankspace to hold all this junk as well. Ahh well, mage has finally be negated to a third class. as it has been all along. :( guess I'll go slay and make some compost.

bad for mages very very bad for mages. lol. ouchie. fear the tank ranger. although msb is +69 range.... crossbow is +50 a good question is it like karils, a two hand, or a regular bow thats one handed?

so far I've done pretty well there. auto retaliate off. and just kill rex. thats with two rangers with cannons aiding though. I don't much do the kings anymore since prices went to garbage. I guess the fact I rc the deaths on my mission to 77 softens the blow.

ancients have a hard time hitting certainly equipped meleers...... and even if cubed they can smash four dds specials.... but this isn't a combat mage update. (i'm a combat mage) its a skiller update. although there are uses for sending out "suicide healers" in clan wars or pk's to patch people up.

good point it may just be. =) ty. either way ya get the point. as allen would say "slay on" and while ya at it... in my opinion farm on. ;)

dude glory ammy for draynor, cath for that one, ecto for port, and that karzid port for ardy, (lil run super energy ftw) if you are doing trees its rough, but house helps that as well as tele tabs. this is a slay farmer spell update. its decent, specially since i've been doing those alot.

For general getting around regular spells own. as well as making and enchanting jewelry and just plain old using spells for killing normal stuff. for deep wildy and cws and dag kings Ancients own, (as well as if you are gathering mort fungi pre house) *some also barrow with them but I prefer mage dart. For farming and PERHAPS slayer depending on where your house is I can see a nice place for these moon spells.... as well as if you have a decent lvled mage person with you in wildy and certainly a non mage attacking person doing dag king trips, (certainly one member of a dag team that is range or melee should be casting the tele all to waterbirth spell.) they have a place, all of them. Would be really nice if they added a fast way to swap to these new ones, the septer is good for ancients (finally!) but I can't put my house in rekella for a quick switch as it would make it useless to myself and others using it 90% if the time.

Dang, allen, by far the best guide out there. Thank you. Sir you got me to 85 slay, and I'm still slayin on. ;) art
