3hitm4g3u Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 52k tokens 4 bronze You would have gotten half your combat XP from that alone... Maybe that's why he stayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maulmachine Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I agree that it's absolutely ridiculous. My boyfriend and I spent hours trying to get our defenders until I finally just went to bed, and I haven't had the motivation to continue since. My story isn't quite as bad as the OP's.. at least I went through over 1,000 tickets after several hours and got up to mithril, but it still takes a ridiculous amount of time. too much time? it doesn't take enough. It takes maybe 2 days to get the item that gives the highest attack bonuses without being a weapon.

Bauke Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Lately, there's been a lot of threads about defenders lol and I don't get it at all. It took me ~1.5k tokens to get 4 rune defenders and my stats were like 70s. Unless they nerfed it somehow since I got them 2 years ago, which I wouldn't understand why, I think everyone's just having bad luck. Everyone having bad luck is impossible. Also, it is NOT random, but it's based on propabilities.

Randox Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Circulating the room is a good idea. I have found for all good drops killing everything in circulation is the best way to go. Also, I think that teh ROW actualy decreases your chance of at least the first 3 defenders being dropped because they are not rare drops. That might be why alot of people speed up after steel, because all teh other defenders are either unafected or droped more often as a result of a RoW. No one has ever proven it either way.

matthew20141 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Chill, some people have worse luck. on steel, i lost because of random, on addy, i lost cause of random, on rune, i lost cause of random. Total tokens spent for 2 rune defenders 11050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDayRsDied Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 If you don't wan't the best defense slot item in the game just because it takes maybe an hour to get, then you can buy a DFS. They cost 14m, nothing. I can make that much money in 15 minutes! I'd say it takes about as many kills to get a defender as it takes to get a pair D boots, or a Granite Maul.

game_proffy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Why exactly do people complain about this? It's all random. Oh, sure, it has the probability distribution, but that doesn't mean that if the probability is X, you WILL get the drop on your Y'th kill. 1/20 chance of drop doesn't guarantee a drop on 20th kill. 1/1000 chance of drop doesn't guarantee a drop on 1000th kill. Trust me, I have statistics as a subject in university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtimmerzz Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I spent 400 tokens and didn't get a bronze so I decided I would get 600 more and try again, I managed to go bronze-rune with around 400 tokens. Very random I guess. and I did not use a ring of wealth like some suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cacmypants Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah, the ring of wealth doesn't help because defenders aren't included as part of the regular drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mod edit please don't go around the censor - phil] A thing called luck wants to see you throw your mouse halfway across the room :lol: it took me a while to get bronze, about 3 goes to get an iron, then I went from iron to addy in about half an hour. Rune defender I got the next round. So I have no idea :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capone_Sabre Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Move around the room in a circular motion, as soon as you strike the killing blow move on to the next one, don't pick up drops, just check to see if they've dropped a defender while you're killing the next one. Use the best prayers you can (wear prayer boosting armour) and super pot regularly. The ROW does not increase your chances of getting one as their value is 0gp. It took me about 20-30 mins to go from no defenders to a rune one. Capone Sabre since April 2001.99 Attack, Defence, Strength and Hitpoints Achieved January 2005. When it still meant something.
