Hello all,

 

 

 

I know this is likely the wrong forum, but I'd like to warn people of a scam/lure I just nearly learned about the hard way.

 

 

 

On a pvp world, if you are four-iteming with any barrows set (as I was with guthans), you may encounter a team of pkers. It consists of an ancienter and 3-4 lunar mages.

 

 

 

The ancienter puts on smite and barrages you while the four lunar mages try healing you, so that they can wear out your prayer all the way. Then they let you die and lose your spear, which would be quite the bummer.

 

 

 

I'm sure most people already know this, but I figured I'd post for the others like me who never use PvP worlds and had no idea.

 

 

 

P.S. Sorry mods, didn't quite know where to put this, please move it to the appropriate forum =) (alternatively, if you can think of a way, go ahead and make it more discussion-y) :thumbsup:

I have to say, of all the scams I've seen, that's really well thought out.

 

 

 

 

 

Moral of the story: Don't pk by yourself in multi-way combat. That way Lunar can't have an effect.

It wasn't multi-way, actually, rather just in south Falador.

 

 

 

That's what suprised me most: I wasn't expecting any trouble in a single way combat zone.

 

 

 

Only reason I survived is cause my (now friend) decided to dds the ancienter, allowing me to get away.

Thats really clever. I don't really pk, but I know the idea behind taking out someones prayer so that you end up risking something. And its done in such a way you might be too stunned/puzzled to run away, and only at the end will you realise what is happening.

If you wish to stop this happening, simply turn your accept-aid to off, if it is off, they will be unable to heal you, and you can fight back/teleport/die without losing your items as easily.

I guess if you turn off accept-aid you'd be safe

Ah, turning accept aid off would certainly solve all the problems. Alternatively, you can run around with a maple longbow and shoot the ancienter :twisted:

Why not do both :ugeek:

I must be having a fit of the stupids.

 

 

 

I could swear that in the old wilderness (pre-pvp worlds) having cure poison (I waited at Edgeville and healed poison for exp) fail because I had to be in a multi-way combat zone to cast it while either the caster or castee was in combat.

Switch to range and down them.

That is possibility one of the best pking tactic thought by the players, I really don't think is a scam. But I already know this because there was a pking video about it on youtube, they smite out 1-itemers with the exact same tactic. :

Hm, wouldn't it count as luring? I had been just west of the bank, fighting 1-itemers. I saw the ancienter running around, and didn't think much of it. When he attacked me, my auto retaliate compelled me to follow him south to near the tunnel, and I saw a few people where he was running. At first I figured it was multi, and thought I'd just die then respawn in falador bank with all my items. So he started attacking me, I saw a few good 20+, and wondered why I wasn't dying. I soon realized that I was being healed and having my prayer drained, so I dequipped my spear and started running.

 

 

 

When I was down to about 10 health I dropped the spear (which was hard to do because of the "if you drop this it will degrade) message, and I ran into the bank, lucky that his last burst didn't manage to freeze me. I banked my chest, grabbed my spear, and I was fine.

 

 

 

Anyways though, moral of the story--Wouldn't that technically be luring, because he drew me from an area of relative safety to a place where his friends could help him kill me?

Try and time the spear drop and take the 100k toll rather than 3million.

Well you are fighting in the pvp worlds, to me that would be 4 iteming in the wilderness, and if you were killed there, I think it as a honorable death instead of been lured. :

Try and time the spear drop and take the 100k toll rather than 3million.

 

 

 

 

 

That's what I ended up doing--I unequipped it and dropped it right before I thought I was going to die.

 

 

 

Only problem with that tactic is that there is a message warning you of the possible decay of your spear, which makes it much slower to drop.

Haha I've been wanting to try that in pvp for a while now.

 

It just seems like it would be funny to do. (For me.)

Not quite as funny for the person who loses stuff :shame:

He didn't draw you in. You went into the area willingly. That's like saying the reason Tz-Tok Jad killed you was because you were lured into wave 63. Unless he actually coerced you into going near him, it isn't luring.

Ah but JaGeX won't do anything because they warn you alot of times that your in risk, so really you should know now. The more you know :mrgreen:

Well yeah if you're skilling on a pvp world for example teles are ok.

If accept aid is off you can ancient mace spec and have the lunar mages cast energy transfer on you.

 

Or use saph bolts (e).To wear down pray.

Haha, I was just a little bored, so I decided to grab a set of guthans and go to falador on a PvP world. You always get attacked by someone, and they occasionally forget to turn on protect items when they die (I got a whip two days ago :D )
