October 21, 200916 yr You people running around with 10+ 99's should really just quit commenting. Does it prove how 'elite' you are? All past updates this year were geared to mid lvls? Are you kidding me?just look at the last couple of updates:within the light - master questliving rock caverns - high level mining/fishing areaherblore update - obviouslywoodcutting rebalance - more high level stuff to do Those are high level updates. But none of them have level reqs like 93 summon and 91 smithing. Yes you invested a heck a lot of time to get those skills, but you got them because you wanted the 99s or a higher total level. Achievement diaries should be something "fun" to spend my time on, get a better knowledge about the area I'm exploring and grab some rewards in the end, NOT something for you to show off your random skills; you have your fancy capes to show them off with. I do see many people's points that it is meant to stimulate training and that even it is a good strategy for jagex financially because having high lvl req's keep high levels paying for members because there will be something to complete other than going for 99s or max cash at the end of the day. But again, I don't think a lot of people realize how amazingly hard it is to get 93 summoning or 91 smithing. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that these requirements would be fine for say, a new high level gadget like the adze, but it's not suitable for a diary.I doubt jagex would release a quest anytime soon with 90+ requirements (esp. on summoning) because few people would be able to enjoy the quest. I guess at least for me, achievement diaries are the same thing (esp. when they shared a tab for so long) and they should be at least completable by suffiently high level players without putting in an extraordinary effort. (a very rough estimate..1-93 summoning will take 20k+ crimsons + $ burned to use them) So I guess in conclusion, diaries should be different from other high level content; elite diaries would work, if the definition of elite is lowered just enough to be in the 'possible' range for us high level but 'not elite enough' players. I haven't posted in tip it in a long time and it's really been thoroughly disappointing. Just because you have 99s does not give you right to disrespect others. Most of my posts in the times of yonder (aww, good ol scapeboard..) when jagex still had sane ideas about what requirements to set and before most of you 99 capers even registered for rs. Those were some of the first interesting updates this year for me. And within the light was not high level. I did MEP2 like 3 years ago with under 110 combat and I had the stats to do within the light then it's not like this update has made RS any worse for people without the stats to do the elite diary (I am nowhere near 91 smithing myself). it's a reward to the people who have had the devotion to spend hours upon hours of their lives grinding skills. the average scaper will be able to do the first 3 parts of the diary. hell, the average scaper will do a few easy tasks and then quit. there's plenty of other content in this game to do, so please don't complain about the truly incomprehensibly rare occasions on which something is released that takes high stats to do. within the light was a pathetic quest with pathetic requirements and pathetic rewards herblore update was not allowed in pvp, cw, fight pits, duel arena, or duel tournaments due to whiny low lvls woodcutting is and allaround easy skill and all there was added was vines which are still slower than teaks living rock cavern was a decent fishing update, i liked it and saw it as a good update so yes there have been a few updates, herb updates good for slayer i guess, and rocktails can be usefull achivement diarys arent for exploring, they arent exploration or tutorial diarys they are "ACHIEVEMENT" diarys so they should be high lvl personaly i believe fire cape > new cape in all cases but it looks ba with that void corp setup and in ffa its effective, but if ur a good group with darklight or bone dagger spec id just use firecape, good advantage of low risk tho i love the 4x 500k lamps oh and bob this isnt directed at you of course lol, used your post to respond to the first guy
October 21, 200916 yr farm patch tele turns you into a tree lol and new corp gear looks good with void Cape matches ur outfit too! :twss: And +6 prayer bonus wow...What is this "corp gear"? I can't find anything about it anywhere!

October 21, 200916 yr You can't equip bolt pouches, they stay in your inventoryseriously!?! *looks up on rs wiki*okay sorry i failed hard
October 21, 200916 yr AHHHH I'm so mixed of this update! I think it's awesome for the high level people :) But this new diary is out of reach for an average player like me (which is totally okay).. I just wish there wasn't some stupid red text to haunt me I have spent the last year STRAIGHT leveling up for the stupid seers diary...and i completed it last week! and now...ughhhhhhh..a reward that's SO ridiculous there's no point in even trying. i wish - the hard diary was on par with other hard diaries...and then on top of that there was an elite diary too - still with it's awesome reward - it was just some add on and it still showed that you completed the diary even if you didn't have that extra elite thingie done you know? haha oh well....it's the rcing that is scaring me....getting 66 for fally BORED ME TO DEATH

It wouldn't be overpowered since you can swing a melee weapon over and over and never worry about not being able to attack the next round or an ongoing cost. how would infinite iron/steel/mith/addy bolts be overpowered, most players owuld have acess to the infiinite iron if they worked for it, a few would acess the steel, some would finish hard and do all that for mith, and after getting several stats to 90 you have an infinite adamant bolt, no specials or anything just like a broad bolt......or swing a melee weapon forever "whip is overpowered we should have to pay 300 gp every time we swing it so that meleers have to use 300k an hour also" yea a returning bolt would be a sweet reward as long as its a training bolt and nothing too powerfull
October 21, 200916 yr Sorry, getting off topic, but honestly... It wouldn't be overpowered since you can swing a melee weapon over and over and never worry about not being able to attack the next round or an ongoing cost.jagex has stated before that Melee consumes food, magic consumes runes, and ranged consumes arrowsranged and magic could consume food too, and melee could NOT consume food if the target is low enough level.But yeah melee isn't free in jagex's eyes either. Thus they would not justify making ranged free.Because then you could tackle say, dragons at 0 cost.melee cannot do that.
October 21, 200916 yr Sorry, getting off topic, but honestly... It wouldn't be overpowered since you can swing a melee weapon over and over and never worry about not being able to attack the next round or an ongoing cost. The cost of melee is food. For range you are paying for the ability to attack from a distance. I'm a ranger (99) and I think unlimited ammo would be stupid. By your logic an ancient staff that provided all the necesary runes wouldn't be overpowered.
October 21, 200916 yr Well, I was going to Turk all day... but instead I got sucked into this. :oops: And to top it off, it's Penguin Day so I got nothing productive done. But I did get every task done, except for the abyssal titan one. That's a few levels away. The cloak is fugly. Will be interesting to see if they retcon elite tasks onto any of the other diaries.

For range you are paying for the ability to attack from a distance. I'm a ranger (99) and I think unlimited ammo would be stupid. By your logic an ancient staff that provided all the necesary runes wouldn't be overpowered.Absolutely right. If you paid a large up-front cost to have unlimited spells of a certain type it would not be overpowered.However, in both cases, I was thinking more along the lines of PvP and not so much training or monster hunting. In PvP, being able to attack from a distance when ranging or maging is a rare luxury and not a big enough advantage to warrant high costs of ammo. However I am in no way advocating being able to use unlimited Barrage spells at Rock Lobsters or something like that, unless the attack only hit one target at a time.I was already planning to create a suggestion thread about being able to buy 'packs' of ammo for safe minigames that never need to be replenished. When I have time I'll create it and likely link to the thread in my signature.
October 21, 200916 yr Anyone have any hints on winning a Castlewars game? I've been trying for HOURS, but I'm always on the losing team. I play in Castle Wars themed worlds, shouold I play on random, non-themed worlds for an easier win? I REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE I'M BEING DRIVEN MAAAAD!Grab 1-3 friends and head off to an empty world. Spend and hour so each of your teams compleates it, and have fun.

They should make a summon then like the bunyimp that works for amo.
October 21, 200916 yr All I can say is that Runescape is finally becoming a harder game. It might have seemed hard enough to you already, but some people have been around longer and need harder things. What at all about 90+ in any skill is hard? It all boils down to how much time and patience you have. The only "hard" aspect is not getting bored with it before you get there. The elite tasks take all of what? 1-2 hours to do? It's not some long lasting repeatable content that's going to keep high level people busy. Things like GWD and corporeal beast are those things. Mid-80's would have been plenty enough of a requirement for what it is, and it would have been within reach of a much wider range of players.Dont forget how much cash one has to spend on said skills. @Das, Unlike you I did almost nothing from 2001 - 2005. ;) Popoto.~<3
October 21, 200916 yr Glad to see even more reason to get up runecrafting and smithing. I am loving the more high leveled content, but I wish they wouldn't have gave such a high prayer bonus on this cape, takes away from trimmed skillcapes. Instead of complaining about it though, I'll add this to my welfare magic setup for prayer+magic bonus, I am hearing this is also good for corp because of the stab and prayer bonus. Waiting on my papaya tree to grow outside the village and I'll have the 3rd one done, then to train for the elite achievement. All of this on top of guilded altering 99 prayer is happy town for me. @People complaining about too high leveled of content. -Why does every quest or achievement have to be so accessible to everyone? This game is in need of high leveled content so the lower levels want to gain skills to get better things. Everything except this elite achievement diary is averaged out pretty low.Lumbridge Diary - Total level: 248Karamja Diary - Total level: 554Fremennik Diary - Total level: 617Varrock Diary - Total level: 748 Falador Diary - Total level: 749Seers' Village Diary - Total level: 754and finally....Ardougne Diary - Total level: 1378 Catering to the masses doesn't always please your constant base (High Leveled Members) I know a couple of my friends, especially Alpha leaving due to lack of high leveled content and updates.
October 21, 200916 yr What do i need to do to get the cape with the +6 prayer bonus?! Edit: found it a few pages back - don't worry. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig!
October 21, 200916 yr Has anyone tested how many more runes you get in the Ourania alter with the new cloak on?

Now, release a PROPER high-level woodcutting update so I can make some proper cash with my second-favourite skill :XD:
