Den Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Im loving these New High Level add-ons to skills. Too bad I cant make any of the new potions, but they seem really awesome! ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Zepheras Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The new potions are no doubt useful, and magic has definitely gained its place in PvP combat and not just minigames. However, it seems that secondary skills can only be made worthwhile to train up to high levels only when the products are untradeable. I guess you can't have the best of both world; to have no fixed class system and yet make a secondary skill worthwhile to train. Are we going to see more untradeable productive, like high level food and armour? EDIT: Just saw the table of the new potions. I think that it would have been better to add the tertiary ingredient to the normal potions instead of super potions. Leave the super sets to normal users with low herblore, and provide some use for the weaker version instead. EDIT2: Now here's an interesting post on the RSOF: If there going to remain untradeable Herblore should be added to your combat level showing how much more dangerous you are now. :-?

Ermy Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ahhhhhhh why do i have to be done with slayer for now, could of hit stupid amounts. Updates like these make me giddy. Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rien Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The release of Godswords and Dragon Claws significantly affected PvP; does this mean that the GWD and WGS updates were necessarily flawed because of this? At least they were tradeable. :blink:'All the better. :P If these potions were tradeable, there'd be little reason for most people to train their Herblore into the 90s. Now, however, those who choose to do so will have a significant advantage over everyone else, so it actually places some meaning on training a noncombat skill for more than profit and achievement. Players aren't required to take advantage of this update in the slightest (Pkers, in particular, can still fight just as ably as they were before the update), but for those that do, they'll find it to be well worth their time--quite a refreshing turn of events. This is truly functional, high-level content at work. Interested in helping the Tip.It Crew? Check out our Website Updates & Corrections Board!

Laikrob Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Not surprisingly, I am very pleased with this update. I especially like the fact that the potions are untradeable, which still leaves the possibility open for lower levels to make money from this by gathering 2nd ingredients. High level herblorists aren't making money directly from this, they need to actually use the potions to their advantage. Still enjoying the Living Rock caverns, so please keep up making updates like this in between. :thumbsup: You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gda_scooby Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I think you need to put the high attack advantages in context - im 84 herblore and ranked 13k ish in the highscores - there will not be that many pkers who are high enough ranked in herblore to make these killer pots, yet. And bear in mind the time and money it takes to train this skill to this level deserves a reward of some kind. I'm all for the well rounded player having an advantage.

Bouwzie Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I would've been very happy with this update if I'd still play. Good job Jagex, one of your better updates. It seems based on player suggestions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored321 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Overload is so strong that it racks the body with spasms and burns the digestive tract, so be prepared for 50 damage in chunks of 10 when you drink it! You will regain these 50 Hitpoints when the stat effects wear off. Does the overload potion take 50 off your HP that can not be regained by eating? not much use for pvp if thats the case.

JustAGamer Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I hate high level updates like this personally..They're too good for me to ignore, So I actually have to train to get them. :roll: Either way, it looks like mage can probably beat melee in the combat triangle now... this link kills spam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampjedi Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Glad I finished 99 herb a few months ago! Would be crazy expensive now. Also glad I have thousands of "lower level" potions lying around. My Goals and Achievements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langer Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Looks like the upgrade year is indeed the best high level year so far. I had predicted extreme potions a while back (even the name!), but never thought they would be that high level or even untradeable, I don't mind. anyone willing to invest that much on a skill should get rewards accordingly. This game is getting better and better. Early grats on the next upgraded skill!

Bauke Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Epic update. Again. Last few weeks have been amazing. Anyways, how much will my combat stats rise from 99 if I drink an extreme potion? And will the overload potion do the same, but instead to all combat stats? And ofcourse, inflict 50 damage. Wondering if it's worthwile to "upgrade" my super sets to extreme or overload potions for slayer.

But only upgrade the potions you need on the spot as not to clutter your bank. I have a feeling overload is mainly for pkers, or slayers ans campers with SGS, bunyip, unicorn or excalibur E Follow the progress of top players and my weekly updates here: 200M in all SkillsLatest Milestones Chart update : page 602Latest top 15 update : page 6026 slowest skills chart : page 563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk4slayer Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 So, since this probably also included the "small" update to Magic JaGeX were talking about earlier, imagine the big update to Magic coming next year o_O I mean, if a small update takes the max up with +16, what can we expect from this big update :oAnyways, one can of course discuss whether Magic is overpowered now, fact is, you need 91 Herblore to actually use the Extreme Magic potion, and not every single PKer has that. Also, take into account that the other sides of the triangle have received similar potions, so, in case you see someone in max mage running up to you, just take out that Dark Bow, sip your Extreme Ranging potion and rip his head off.I hope there will be many more updates to skills like this to come :thumbup: Chuck Norris doesn't ever need a compass; he randomly points somewhere and north goes there in order not to anger him.
