lol now you can cast "switch magic book" to normal magics, use teleblock, then cast "switch magic book" again to anchients and use ice barrage :) the just dds and their gone.

 

 

 

Yea, I thought of that exact thing.

 

 

 

If you really wanted to: switch spell book, tb, switch again, smoke barrage, switch again, ice barrage, then vengence the rest of the way.

 

 

 

Seems like that would be a bit too tedious and time consuming to be worthwhile. By the time you got all three of these switches off, there's a good chance that you would already be dead or your target would be gone :|

yeah, it takes 5sec 2 switch :shock: :shock: :shock:

The only drawback on lunar magic in general is that it requires quite high magic levels. As posted abobe, only 16.5k players have the magic level required. Sure, I am a lowly lvl73, but I think very few people have that magic level. So.... I do the quest (YAY) then abandon tyhe island only to return for anoher fun looner quest!

The Karamja Gloves 3 were good enough, they tele you to Shilo so you don't really need the NPC Chat spell - which is the main benefit of Lunars when slaying

 

 

 

you know we all expect you to go and stat-spy on jad right ? :P

 

Too bad you can't see his melee, range, mage stats but at least we'll have an accurate max hit and hp amount :)

 

 

 

on topic: It sounded really cool at first but due to the cost of spell book swapping it isn't really worth it, I need my regular/ancient magicks too often...

Originally, the NPC contact spell was a good benifit but at a horrible cost of losing all normal teleports and other usefull spells.

 

 

 

Now you can get the best of both worlds, and even, you can now get ANY teleport you want along with the NPC contact spell

 

 

 

You get full access to lunar/ancient/normal teleports now! That's pretty good

the spell book change only lasts for 1 cast, not much of a help unless you use it at mage bank or something

the spell costs about 3 seconds to cast sadly. Still useful though. NPC Contact + Bones to Peaches. Useful Ancients teleports too.

 

 

 

A good idea a combo with Bones to Peaches

Ya I'll do it tomorrow after the quest

I'm never turning off lunar.

 

 

 

The switch book spell lasts one cast, which makes it perfect for all teleports. All. I don't have to use my house portal to get to canfis anymore. I get the contact npc spell, which does save quite a bit of time. I get fertile soil, the single best lunar spell besides vengence. I get stat spy, which does come in handy when people lie about their stats.

 

 

 

Basically, I have access to every spell in the game. That's worth the few extra runes I've been using.

Yup.

 

 

 

The rune requirements for spellbook swap are as follows:

 

 

 

3x Astral 2x Cosmic 1x Law.

 

 

 

I dont think this spell is very good for repeated casts, such as alchemy, but it will come very handy with teleports.

Please, as a runecrafting being, DO THAT! In the meanwhile, while you try to PK me, ill be off and craft some more natures :P I think I can do at least.. 3 trips before you get to the vengence part.. really, do you guys take this serious?!

 

 

 

As far as it goes for slayer. It is handy, but with the new gloves, karamaja 3, those are to be more usefull. Also the trip to catherby, charter ship brimhaven, take cart.. it isn't all that far away.

Not a big change. First it requires 96 magic or pots and not everyone will be using that. Second construction teletabs and portal rooms already existed so tele'ing around was never really a problem.

All right, it's tomorrow +3 days, tell us now? :-#

 

 

 

The only advantage to lunars is NPC contact, which saves a very minimal amount of time. As mentioned, the shilo gloves make it completely obselete for people who use duradel. With Chaeldar folks, the difference is still extremely marginal, especially since you still have to get to the next assignment anyway (time consuming, while from Zanaris, you can just take a fairy ring to your new assignment). So it pretty much balances out either way. So no effect on slayer.

I tried lunar slaying and didnt switch off them for about 4 days.. almost 80 to 81 slayer. Tbh, i've switched back to regular spells. the npc contact spell isnt really worth the trouble now i have karamja gloves and the extra teleports aren't really needed since i have everything i need in my house. Switching spellbooks is a pain for high alch not to mention very rune hungry. Also the fact that every task my inventory was filled with a dozen different runes.

 

 

 

The new spells will probably work for a few people, but not me. Hats off to jagex though for adressing some problems and making the lunar set way more useful in general.
