Marquis' Invisible Blog
Est. 14.04.2009

Hi people, I am Marquis (atleast in-game) and this is my blog. Enjoy reading

Newest achievement:

 

Me
My name is Mark, I am 20 at the moment and go to Edinburgh University, but I am actually from Estonia (sometimes called Atlantis). I guess that's it, if you want to ask me questions like "What music do you listen to?" or "What is the square root of 47?" then just post in this blog, or add me in game or something, I am generally a friendly guy.

Also, my account name at the moment is Dark Marquis, feel free to add me. I also frequent HYT chat and some people from there have a Skype group too, which I have joined.
My account was created about ten years ago, just after RS2 came out. Now you may ask, "0mg, narb Y U n0 max [bleep]?". Well, firstly, my account got hacked in 2007 or so. I got it back in 2009 and that was the first time I became members. Then 2010-2012 I was studying in a boarding school, which decided that money is best not spent on good internet. But now I am back.

 My Goals

So now what to do? Well I'll probably just get into bossing and whatnot, gaining money for random items that I want/need/like. Also planning on just whittling away at some of the trim requirements. We'll see

 

 Stuff

Reminders, guides, info and things that are helpful to me

Weapon tier vs weakness

I would go with the general rule of +5 levels = +1 strength vs weakness, with the following tiers:
+0 = melee vs arrow weak (melee vs mage)
+1 = melee vs magic weak (melee vs melee)
+2 = slash vs crush weak (wrong melee vs range)
+3 = slash vs slash weak (right melee vs range)

So, when fighting a slash-weak ranger, weaknesses are ordered as follows:
Slash > stab/crush > ranged > magic.
Tier 70 slash = tier 75 stab/crush = tier 80 ranged = tier 85 magic.

However, I think the actual defence difference is equivalent to less than 5 levels worth of accuracy increase. Maybe it should be +3 or +4 only. There aren't any tiers at 73/76/79/82 though of course, that's why I picked 5.

This model is mostly to show the kind of reasoning that allows you to tell which weapon is better.

Ooo, nice. How are you planning to level up your Smithing? I highly recommend you to Superheat mithril bars. You get around 10gp loss for every bar you make, but it's good xp and you get a good chunck of Magic xp too.

[JohnPax]

Welcome mate, good luck with 1400 total.

Thank you both for posting, I'm mining gold ore for now and I'm planning to smelt them with Goldsmith Gauntlets, but only 10gp loss per bar? with nat runes?

Mhmm. Although you make 20gp loss now for every bar. I just checked. Nature runes are 222gp, mithril ores are 234gp, and 4 coal ores are 704gp. That's a total of 1160gp, while 1 mithril bar is 1140gp.

Update - 24.04



I keep forgetting to update my blog

Anyway, past 2 days I've been smelting and smelting and smelting, my forehead is draining from sweat (partly of the heat of the Furnace and partly of the tedious clicking ).

I finished my ores to bars and started bars to amulets, now only 900 to go

Final of Smithing: 69

And (not final of) Crafting: 62

I'll continue doing Gold Amulets and then I'm planning to do some questing /' />

I just realized that you made a blawg! You didn't tell me before!



It looks really cool! (And for the record, they aren't "my" icons... I just took them off of the highscores page on Runescape. )



But yeah, your blog looks really nice! I hope that you reach your goals soon -- keep it up, and see you in-game!
