lagatag Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I'm so far behind on quests I won't be able to get these prayers for a while. Luckily for me most of them aren't that great looking, and the ones that are I'll probably never get the pray level to use :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danqazmlp Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Lol @ Ranarr + Snape Grass + Snapdragon + Dragon Bone prices. Friend has over 1M Dragon Bones in anticipation for this update. Profit time... Am i the only one seeing the opposite? For months players have been hoarding bones, pushing the prices up. This price rise was due to regular demand+Merch demand, probably over double that of normal. With all these being dumped into the g.e now, i'm doubting there is enough added demand through regular players to actually keep the price on any sort of rise, and to actually stop a crash. Especially if the price was to start dropping, it would panic the merchants into selling more, and stop buyers from buying as they would want to wait for the price to drop even lower. It 'could' all end in catastrophe, but only time will tell. People who dump their bones now are missing out on opportunities tbh. The real apex of any price rise wouldn't be until a bit afterwards, right? Yeah they are, but at some point they will be dumped, and at that point they will crash badly. I wouldn't put it past RS merchants to dump ASAP too, and to set in the panic. It has happened before, many times. Want to be my friend?

Draconic Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Just a tip to the questers- [hide=Spoiler]The uber-icefiends and the Ice Demon are very weak to stab attacks, as opposed to Waterfiends, and their crush weakness. I never missed with the Zam Spear, Piety, and a Super Set.[/hide] When you go feather dragon god, you never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheefoo Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 A few quick questions... Anyone find out how long it takes the drain/leech curses to reach their maximum? Anyone have a rough idea on the drain rate of the new prayers? Also, I had an idea... Since drain warrior, drain mage, and drain range all have defence reducers, could all three at once mean you can lower defence down by 30-60%? I tried to test this at the duel arena, but most people said something like "wow nub it didnt drain def at all, you suck", while referring to their stats tab, not the prayer stat changes menu, or they just died too quickly for any of the curses to take affect. I'm really looking forward to hearing more about this, so I can know if these prayers are really much better than the current ones. Turmoil looks great, the deflect spells are awesome, from my own experience, and I'm hoping the leech spells are worth getting.

Guthorm Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 So the leech/sap prayer does not actually decrease the stats on the stat tab? So similar to the familars an invisible deduction? If so I would think this as a melee nerf. :s [Guild Wars 2-In game screenshot, the MMORPG you are waiting for. Click for thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wioneo Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 So...do these new prayers drain at a comparable rate to their normal counterparts?

Tecmaster Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Sorry to kill the fun discussion but regarding using turmoil on corp and gwd bosses: Quote From RsWikiThe effects of the Turmoil curse apply to monsters, as well as players, although for strong monsters like the Corporeal Beast, they are treated as a maxed player with 99 stats. Also, great quest overall with a balanced reward and a new set of prayers as well. I am loving this update. Owner of the Quest Point Cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 This update is terrible all because of turmoil. Well, we can be happy that right now only 15,000 people have 95+ prayer. And who knows if all of those people can/have done the quest or even if they still play. Yeah, that number will increase eventually. Here's hoping that in that time, Jagex rebalances Turmoil a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zantareous Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hmm, For some reason runescape seems to be running a whole lot smoother for me after this update, does anyone feel the same?

Kimberly Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well after a certain level, it becomes even more effective than piety. Added onto that the random use of Deflect, plus already existing combat structures, and I think it was a little bit unnecessary for melee. It certainly served as a good reward for offensive-based people who achieved such a high level, but had detrimental effects on the other parts of the triangle. That's just my opinion, and I'm not sure if howbadisbad shares the same thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
