For those of you who read todays news, when killed with the barrelchested anchor, it will drop 230k gp instead of the actual weapon. Now supposedly for all those people who do not use this weapon, you could use unidentified liquid to get to low health, fight white knights in the castle to purposely die, and respon to pick up the 230k. This means that you just made 180k since you spent 50k to repair the anchor. Did i enterprit this wrong?

no now you have to pay 700k to repair it (but you still get 1 50k recharge)

get skulled and fight a mate in wildy. then get him to give u cash

He said for people who don't intend to use it, those people won't bother repairing it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems pretty stupid to me, considering they introduced a skill partly to drain money out of runescape.

maybe you (however which way you spell interpret here) wrong, I mean for those of us who dont use it, we could die with it, then just go pick up the gp when we come back to life

but you have to repair the ancor (sp) for 700k (but you still get 1 normal 50k repair) look at the news agian

but im not talking about reparing it

 

 

 

im just saying lose it forever and keep 180k profit

that is a 180k but theres 1 less anchor and if you did want it back its 700k

why are you intentionally trying to work through jagex to abuse "mistakes"?

get skulled and fight a mate in wildy. then get him to give u cash

And have to pay 700k for another one? I don't think so.

You people don't get what he's saying. That technique is for people that want to make an easy 180k, and use D Scimmy/Rune Defender for Strength training, which is now better because of the speed change. So basically, if you don't want the anchor.

Yeah its a good idea to make quick cash, but if you ever want it back either because it looks cool, for training, or perhaps for a future quest, you will regret making that quick buck in the past and have to shell out the gp for a new one.

Also the risk of getting reported for bug abuse, even if Jagex put that there intentionally.

Its bug abuse. Report him! Report him!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT:600th post pl0x?

Similarly you can sell your crystal seed from Roving Elves, but in doing so you lose out on a good weapon.

personally i think thats not the bightest idea in the world, but hey if you want the quick 180k go right ahead. i would just keep it in case i need it later.

i doubt it will cause a money inflation hazard. I mean, I doubt enough people even have the requirements to do this quest (including the willingness to do rum deal, cabin fever, etc)

since it costs 50k to repair it first time, and 50k second time, and 700k 3rd time, wouldn't players who won't ever need to use the anchor just drop it twice and get 360k? (230k + 230k - 50k -50k) because that's almost free 1/3 of a mil if you've done the quest before this update :shock:

Wasn't the anchor same speed as whip? they said slightly decreased, so I'd imagine its not slower or faster then a d scimmie, it it wasn't in the first place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although 180k isn't that much, plus if you ever needed it for a level 3 clue, or some new quests, well you've just done something dumb basically. Remember jagex may have other uses planned for it as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't do it.

Yes, you can make a 180k profit. That means that if you'd rather get 180k for a quest reward instead of the weapon, you can. So? 180k as a reward for a somewhat long and slightly challenging quest is not unreasonable, even if Jagex has never given out that much cash before. I'm also guessing that you'd get 230k when you alch the anchor as well, but I personally wouldn't risk it.

180K isn't huge, and if you do the quest you will know what I mean when i say it is well worth it to keep the anchor.

didnt know about that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second, dont call me a bug abuser, i said theoretically speeking, meaning that I have not done it. Im just giving a tip to those out there that it would be better than dropping it on the floor like a useless item. If its bug abuse than a mod can lock this and hide the contents or something.

To never use it just for 180k isn't worth it.

truthfully ive never even tried this weapon out except for once on a jungle horror. Im just saying for those of us who use whips and such, i dont see the point of just leaving the weapon to collect dust in the bank.
