It is sort of annoying to see the level 3 moochers tho...The ones with 80+ Dung when all they do is stay at the starting point and rc the whole time...I mean do w/e, but you don't really deserve levels that you don't do anything for...

There's a few reasons why the level 3s just stay in the main room the whole time.

- They die too easily.

- Infinite cash trick at 44+ rc.

- Making materials and such for the team.

 

haveing a level 3 skiller on a team is fine, as long as thay do something.

being only level 3 thay would efect the combat of the monsters only slightly but could make lots of armour ect when your out fighting.

What I don't like about fog is...When I have low hp, click a bandage, and i still die and see the bandage was never used...When people call me a noob for running (even tho I'm half their cb a lot of the time....I can only imagine the harrassment I would get playing on my main against lower level players >.>)...When people call me I'm a noob for running (And fail to explain that a decent sized arena was not made to stand in one spot...and then tell them if they want to avoid runners to go to duel arena)...So yeah...Good game...One that increases my self-esteem since I can win fairly easy :D...and one that, like the rest of runescape (and gop) has a decent amount of noobs...

erm, your LP lvl is 70, but why you say low? my first time play FoG is when my hp is about 65 and i still able to use all bandage. if seem like you like to wait until low LP only use, then its major mistake from you there.

yes, you have good point about how the minigame work, and it is weird ppl say runner noob. actually is them who noob for not running and lost.

oh ya, not only skiller can help open high skill door, they can use money trick to get alot of resources, make thing for the team and not to say because of lvl 3 exist, the average lvl of the mob will be lower.

 

interesting thing about wine of zamorak, someone confirm this?

So how good really are the new weapons for f2p? Can anyone speak about the time investment it would take to get one of the sighted maple or a gravity weapon?

[zhong881209]

I just got the longbow sight yesterday. Went to free for all clan wars, but it was definitely not what I was expecting....

I thought the +151 range bonus (with dhide coif) would hit through rune armor (at 80 def) at least 50% of the time. Turns out..it's more like 20%

 

However, after extensive testing, against lower def people in armor, it owns. Against higher def people, I have to wear full rune in order to not take too much damage.

 

I guess that is beauty of it. You get to wear full armor, yet the sight still allows you to get +105 range accuracy. Against other rangers of your level, this tactic is deadly. They cant hit you with as much, but you are still accurate enough to get through their dhide.

really? thats interesting to know. oh ya, having high accurate is indeed deadly.

it really help ppl with just lvl up to 45 ranged to have godly accuracy that they cannot imagine.

actually this would partially solve the problems of ranger weak while low - med lvl as low damage that ranger can deal compare to fire blast at 59 magic lvl or str lvl.

OMG, full rune and can still that high ranged bonus, perfect against rev hunter.

 

can you testing more about ppl at 40 def full rune and 99 def wear nothing? ty

 

actually i think for lower lvl ranged, sinced they are mostly pures, dont need the accuracy. However, if they were fighting an armored opponent of the same lvl, then it might be beastly.

 

With 99 def wearing nothing, it is very accurate. Pretty much equal to the shortbow because its essentially a 80% hit rate vs a 90% hit rate (with sight)

I havent encounter much 40 def pures, but I have seen people with 90+ atk/str with 60 def. They are easy to hit through, but you need the full rune or else they get very accurate high scimmy hits on you. At cmb 107, with 40 def, they prolly have 99 atk and str.

sighted maple need approximately level 50 Dungeoneering lvl. if for normal training, then shortbow is better(speed)

it is very good if you need accuracy rather then speed. it is good for fighting high lvl mobs with high def (greater demon)at low ranged lvl or short term combat where you need accuracy, such as PvP and FoG. since it can even hit through full rune quite good.

as for gravite, it is indeed strong , but the recharge fee make it not worth it to use.

 

We currently have plans for Dungeoneering reward dungeons and also for Dungeoneering distractions for the surface world.

There are 2 more themes planned for this year – chaotic and warped.

Reward for within dungeon use and surface :) double confirm after their Q&A weeks ago. just hope there at least some for f2p :(

Well, when people hit 20+ and I'm in the process of running away, and getting to a specific area, I can't click the bandage...So I may start out with high LP, but once people are taking away about 1/3 of my LP in a hit and I'm trying to run away (and not just spam clicking, I'm making careful, precise clicks), there's usually not a time that I can click the bandage immediately.

 

 

As for the level 3 skillers, some do help out in some way...obviously I don't expect them to go fight, but ones I've seen (with over 85 Dung), don't do ANYTHING to help out. Now, the other people who play with them don't mind really, they just want the bonus xp at the end and easier monsters, so the skillers aren't being told to help...but still, they aren't doing anything and are getting levels that they didn't play for.

ouch, then wont it be better just stay at the center until you used up all bandage? usually i hide, run and try to trap them then tele, when used up all bandage and low on prayer then i play hide and seek using the house trick.

 

grr... there were lvl 3 skiller get easy exp without doing anything like that .... well i guess it is something jagex had to fix though. but it is already too late for some already reached high lvl

but i do wanna know they whether high lvl get the same or lower exp if get lower lvl mobs? but still doing 5-man large will still give them high exp, no matter what.

good to hear it, since i been seeing quite some ppl saying that in the forum.

[Youmu]

Wait, I heard that even as a high level, you will still get full exp for dungeons if you play as a party. Not sure if it's true or not, but it looks like it.

 

Jagex really should make the monster cap in F2P the same as P2P, seeing as we already get level 130+ monsters already (I'm looking at you, 135 Brute who killed 2 of my party members of 4).

I can confirm this. If anything, it's surely increased, not the usual halved.

 

I know you get extra for partying with members, but this is different.

[Youmu]

Sure, but there's still SOME sort of a cap. I can still kinda see it... but not sure as I don't have personal experience in the 90+ area.

 

Hmm... perhaps Jagex also put some sort of a secret cap on 90- players on F2P. Either F2P don't have interest in the skill or it really is like that. :mellow:

 

I don't care if they do. /me still has fun in dungeons. :3

Praying accordingly doesn't pose much threat? They got quite low defence, the brutes. Melee prayer makes short work of them. The only problem I can see is the forgotten warriors which just take ages to take down (without magic).. which basically says.. having a mage is handy :D Level doesn't matter much if you use their weakness.

[sees_all1]

F2Pers above 90 combat automatically get a 50% reduction in XP.

However, if you have 1 level 3 on your team for every 90+, you get full XP.

I'm thinking about putting my two computers together and using a dummy account every time I want to solo.

 

 

Oh, I also played with a lvl 3 last night. It didn't bother me that they did nothing (leeched), but it really bothered me when we were ready to end and they were AFKing. Took us a full extra minute to end because they didn't move. If you're not going to help, at least don't slow us down.

i think that's against the rules :mellow:

[Youmu]

Nah. What is against the rules though, is multiple log-ons on the same computer, using the same acc on different worlds.

 

Besides, he's not "playing" on his dummy account (like, training at same time). He is probably going to turn shared off, as it is pointless to train the dummy anyways.

You're not allowed to leave your computer unattended. AFK is againts the rules.

 

Unless of course, he has a wireless keyboard, and takes it everywhere he goes. Then it's not Away From Keyboard :razz:

[sees_all1]

If you have more than one account, you're not supposed to let them interact (i.e. trading).

This may be against the rules, but I'm pretty sure they'll have a hard time distinguishing if its one player on two computers or two players on two computers in the same LAN, like at a library.

 

I'm not going to ask for clarification on this, and I'm not going to let you guys know if I even attempt it. I'll let it sit in the back of my mind for now...

Has anyone gotten Gravite items yet? Gravite longsword is the 4th best longsword ingame, and I want reviews before I actually buy one.

 

Either that or I'm getting Arcane Stream.

[zhong881209]

it only need 65 lvl to buy it, so there are alot ppl who can buy it already, but i really dont like any gravite weapon because of their recharge fee.

plus, we wont know jagex might add something to the rewards during batch 2.

for now, i already buy longbow sight, coal bag, and soon will get arcane blast necklace. (arcane stream necklace is member btw)

[Flodder450]

does anyone has an idea which fish to use for 99 cooking?

 

something to the equivilant of maple logs

(wierd comparison, i know)

the price is changing all the times, but you can check it out 1 by 1 at the GE database, it is not much for f2p anyway.

tuna seem to be a nice balance

[BiJay]

With lvl 65+ you should cook thunas, with 74+ lobsters and with 86+ swordfishs. Every other method is a waste of time/money imo. I already did like 50m exp with swordfishs - they are just ftw. =)

i considered fishing for tuna/swordie on karamja and then changing them into notes,selling the swordfishes,and then cook the tuna

Lol...cook all of them and then sell it. Why would you forego the xp from swordfish when you got it for free? If you are not 86 cooking, then follow the above method to get to 86 and then cook all that fished swordfish.

I always play RS when I watch TV or videos or when browsing the internet. I also do the fastest methods. Works pretty well.
