M0n Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm not if this has been stated before, but there is a huge update for magics somewhat hidden in the mass of updates yesterday. You will now be properly classed as being 'in combat' when you are attacking someone else, even if you've not been attacked back. Love it or hate it, this means farcasting just got a lot easier and this is a huge part of a mage's tactic. Sure Jagex didn't roll out a new item or ability, but this is just as huge in my opinion. :o EDIT: wow... maybe I should have looked one post up :roll: 101 runescape suggestions that don't suck.

fat_klutz Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Why does everyone compare it with fury? Fury is so much more. Maybe everyone here can afford furies at their luxury but alot of people can't. It is a pretty good item for a lot of players. Range ammy is atm 10m street price. ~2m in ge. Fury is 3m at most. That is why everyone is comparing it with a fury. Ya but their obviously not gonna stay that way. New items always cost a ton. Remember Dplate? Things like this are just novelty and people buy them up so quick raising the price because they are trying to merchant them. In like a week people will realize they aren't worth w.e and everyone is gonna try to dump and they are gonna go down to like 100k. And then eventually they will stabilize. I mean come on. If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature. ^^^At least I'm not the only crazy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't go below 500k unless the drop rate greatly increases.

Hunter360x Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I managed to get 2 ammies within 5 kills of each other \ . Sold 1 and keeping one for myself for when I have ranging slayer assignments. Ammy itself isn't too bad for people who like to range safespot (eg. Tzhaars, Black Dragon etc).

ladycai Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The camping at abby demons is probably the same with these Aquanites. I got a few kills on a qc world, but I hate them already.

michel555555 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 got one yesterday as a drop. sold it this morning for 2m because aquanites are just to low of a slayer monster for these ammys to stay above 300/400k at most.

As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies.

You totally miss the point of this. A skilled mage can be incredibly powerful, if he uses spell stacking, which regularly hits 50+. Said mage can also efficiently safespot rangers, as well as melee users, and effectivly pin them to the safespot position. So, you can't move, you're being hit for massive amount of damage, and you can't hit them back. They have also poisoned you, and totally healed all the damage you did previously. ... And you say mages have no KO potential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
