Personally, I'm glad they're removed the duel arena. Level 100-110's who are tied to 130+'s, already have small chance of winning (as long as the 130+ knows what he's doing), these potions would almost nullify the chance of winning for the lower levelled. No not for Duels unless pots were turned on then its ok its not the high herb level guys fault you want to use pots but he can use better ones... I dont have near the herb levels to use any of the extreme pots but if i ever get there i sure as hell would want to try them out on other players. There's a difference between gaining an advantage and making the chance of winning almost 100%. I fear these post would have tipped the balance to the wrong side. The combat level doesn't always correlate with high herblore. There's still plenty of people with 130+ combat and too low herblore for the potions, yet there's people with 99 herb and under 100 combat. Allowing them in duels would let people who have trained some skills instead of melee to have a better chance to win. I'd say it would benefit those who have worked for levels and not that it would take anything away from someone who hasn't. With an update like you're Jagex is just punishing people who have spent money and time to get the levels: we could aswell put a maximum gear limit (like, under 10m weapons+max5-10m in armours) to the same places. After all that would increase the chances for poorer people to win. Yes, but from the people who have such high herblore level and like to participate in PVP, the big majority of them also have almost maxed combat levels. Again, I agree they should have an advantage, but everyone with skill (=/=levels) should have at least a decent shot at winning. I fear those people won't have that shot any more when these pots are allowed. However, this is purely speculation, it'd be nice if anyone would know the real power of these potions in PVP. Too bad that's not possible. :S My biggest concern is Jagex took these potions out before they were thoroughly tested by the players.

It means Jagex thinks more p mods are needed and the old system was too slow in getting new ones in, so they thought up a new system, with broader ranges to get more people. That's just easy right? I don't quite get the point of this thread. But I like the idea of more P mods, maybe that'll finally stop them being treated as messiahs of our gods (Jagex) by lower levels and more as normal players.

Welcome to overreacting-scape, where everyone just panics or mass buy after every update, without knowing what the impact of the update really is. :thumbup: I got to admit I fell for it too though, sold my mage book as I was hardly using it anyway.

Say wut? :P It's in an identity crisis. :P

Eek made this one of the best holiday events in years. I'm loving her! <3: Gonna make him happy and take him on an adventure, a.k.a. I'll bring him on a quest. I almost feel sad for her as I'll probably keep her in my house for the rest of my RS life after a few weeks. :P

Haha you've played for exactly 2 days more than me :razz: I kinda like this new thing, even though mine is a bit boring atm. 44k xp/hour on average for me, pretty decent. I'm only 23K/h. :( Guess that's what you get for just fooling around and having fun at minigames. :P This thing is awesome though. Too bad mine is pretty empty, only one event in it and I doubt it'll be more any time soon. :(

What about guthans and/or SGS? I use the same method, but only with 1 p pot for ah + karil and I can do 17 chests per run. :thumbup:

Does it happen to involve ancients and a black salamander?

Congratulations! Awesome skills. And what's the deal with the poems?

I found this a better vid for showing what's wrong:

And even then the difference is only marginal (like 1.5xp or less difference). Not worth adding IMO.

You don't use sup compost for marigolds? I get so many less deaths with supercompost, it's definitely worth it. :thumbup:

I'm not very experienced with these tournaments since I'm not a risk-PvP fan, but isn't it true that people can/do hide until most people kill each other in the same free for all MA used to be? Neither would I be very happy to be teamed up on. I'm sure muggi and others can do fine with their ancients and zomgwtf combos but unless there aren't countermeasures for what I just mentioned, duel tournaments seem pretty unattractive to me. That's one of the beautiful things of it, it's all 100% single combat. It's like any normal, real world tournament. You're assigned an opponent, if you beat him you move on to the next round. If you lose, you're out of the tourny. You're talking of Fight Pits.

Stews don't work for the rc task because to use rc pouches you need the ACTUAL level and can't use a boost. It's not to do with the diary itself, its to do with how rc pouches work So? Can I use stews/stouts or not? Probably, yes.

I still feel like that on almost EVERY thing I do, Including here. :( Of course I have nothing to say in the mod picking process, but I can assure you it's definitely not like that for crew. If you look at the list of crew, there are quite a lot of people with hardly any post, or hardly had any when they joined. Also, all of the people who've recently become crew have had 0 friendships with the staff before joining. As mod picking process is led by the same people (admins) in the same organisation, I doubt it's much different for them.

I'm loving this update, too bad it'll probably be deserted again in a few days. Duel tournaments are the best Minigame, the one which requires the most and has potentially awesome rewards. Too bad hardly any runescapians actually like stuff which takes skill and therefore take a while before you're good at it. Most people are like "z0mg can't win against 130's+" and then leave, while muggi and others show it's perfectly possible.

Congratulations! That was pretty quick. :thumbsup:

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Ardougne_Achievement_Diary RuneWikia is your friend. Even though it's pretty good, it's more inaccurate then the usual fansite. Always treat wiki with caution, especially with new content.

Woot! There are finally people at the Duel tournaments again! :thumbsup: My favourite of them all, now hope the crowd stays.

I highly, highly doubt it. None of the diaries are and it would quite destroy the purpose.

I'm wondering which you've found not to be worth doing? I don't find them fun to do. It's a game, I do stuff for fun. But to answer your question: I've completed the Varrock one, but never use it. Lumby, Karamja ans Seers were definitely worth doing. I don't see myself doing Fally or Relleka any time soon, don't feel the need for it.

where are these super high requirements that the high level forum supposedly hinted that we were getting! I have to wait more than 12 hours for the tree to grow why do they do this to me. :wall: Dude, you have to wait 12 hours before you can finish this update!! I doubt you'll survive that. OT: Never been a very big fan of these myself. I'll wait for the rewards before I decide whether I'm gonna do it or not. I hope the duel tournaments will have a good impact on the amount of people playing. It's my favourite minigame, sadly no one ever plays them. Maybe I'll finally be able to find opponents with my 1900+ rank. :pray:

Thanks for the input everyone. We're actually busy doing a big rewrite of the mining guide and this is indeed one of the sections which will be (drastically) improved. However, guide writing is an intensive process and the crewbies who are doing this also have lives and stuff, so it may take some time. Thanks for you patience.
