I'm saying they should mainly update skills that bring some new element to that skill while not completely replacing other training methods. The benefit from the update should have other benefits other than xp to compensate for its ideal ~5% lower xp difference than the preexisting fastest xp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd say jagex aims for that the majority of the time, which is why a lot of their updates are regarded as unsatisfying and useless. It seems to be very easy to miss the mark with the compensation and have an update go totally ignored by players. You say they should mainly update skills that way... go do a percentage comparison of which updates are like that and which aren't, and check back with me ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By doing otherwise they're making their older updates obsolete and archaic in the game while at the same time upsetting players who never were able to get such fast xp when they did their levelling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But consider, older updates become obsolete and archaic irregardless, as people get bored with them over time. That's why in the battle between mudflation and purity of original vision, mudflation always wins.

do the bones always give the same amount of exp?

do the bones always give the same amount of exp?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The long bones ALWAYS give 1500 exp and 1000 gp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And come ON people! Long bones are a fairly rare drop, and i've never even gotten a curved bone! Although, 1500 exp is pretty good, considering that's worth a little over 6k worth of oak planks, if you make them yourself.

I could swear long bones were 1k exp, but i'll see if I can check again.

the long bones give 1500 exp. not 1000, not 500.

already posted this once but obviously it didnt take earlier, blasted bugs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on topic:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you talk to the goblin youll find out that they are actully just spacific big bones and ANY monster that drops big bones now also drop these, while they are a nice bonus to training combat or whatever they arent exactly a con training method because of thier randomness

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got a long bone from nailbeast lvl 90 while temple treking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LK1

wait, u trade them at a goblin named barlak......thats my fremmenik name :shock:

 

 

 

He stole my name :evil:

what was the drop rate? 1:100?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then you only have to kill 85,5k giants...

 

 

 

it sounds like 99 atk + def + str + hp = free 99 cons and 10mil cash \

considering that's worth a little over 6k worth of oak planks, if you make them yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

since when is 1500 xp 6k oak planks? i can easily get 1.3k xp on 1 inventory of oak planks

Giant Skeletons also drop Curved Bone. The one in that one invisibility ring dungeon anyway, near Fishing Guild.

It costs 6k to turn them into planks

what is the drop rate? or is it random?

Cyclops in warrior guild drops Curved bones.

I know this thread is about bones, but if you talk to the goblin, he also buys giant snail shells for gp & crafting xp.

Bone name: Long Bone

 

 

 

Monster: Gorak

Haven't cashed it in yet, once I will, i'll update this post.

Just got a long bone from Hill Giants

long bones from mogres a second ago

Maybe getting a defender will be partly beneficial =D>

Im pretty sure the drop rate has been nerfed. I was getting about 4 long bones an hour at skeletons (lvl 80). And now I went from 94 to just about 95 and havent got one.

A bit of math to clarify miniscooter's response:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you use 1 inventory slot to hold money and 27 inventory slots to hold oak logs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each oak log costs 250gp to convert to an oak plank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

27 oak logs * 250gp per oak log = 6750gp

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now to clarify the amount of xp gained:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

27 oak planks * 60xp per oak plank = 1620xp

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, finally we have 1620xp for 6750gp worth of oak planks.

can you have more than one curved bone in your bank?

2 long bones and 1 curved bone from ogres

I've been saving these bones for a few weeks. Now got four long bones and one curved.

 

 

 

I can't spend them until I've done the quest lol.

Mods don't lock old bumped topics anymore, so no need to spam about how old this topic is.

The drop rate of these bones is too low to make doing the quest worthwhile...

 

can you have more than one curved bone in your bank?

 

Yes.
