Not to burst your bubble or anything....but the rapier wasn't that fantastic. The 2h was so much more worth the 40k tokens. I was also excited to get rapier; wasnt too impressed.

 

 

Interesting... then i guess ill buy the 2h once i get the freakin tokens... I was basically going off what the other people have said about the chaotic weapons.. but haven't heard much from the f2p crowd

 

chaotic is a different animal.

 

For gravite, it is just not worth it. Only the 2h is a real reward. The kicker...is the baxe speed.

has anyone seriously tried the gravite shortbow?? everyone keeps promoting the sighted long but after seeing in acting in clan wars it isn't worth it to me except for maybe it's amazing range

    Don't worry though. Thanks to the wonders of MS paint, my signature is now up to date.

  • Personally, I'm of a mind that if it's available on a free world and without buying membershiop, then it's F2P and fair game. Today's update is just an expansion of what that used to entail.

  • No. You might be confusing him with Eikoor, who was rank 1 in F2P defence xp for years (and still is, according to this).   When I discovered the top f2p list sometime in 2005, Mendark was #1. Here's

gravite shortbow really not providing much higher ranged bonus compare over to maple shortbow, so not worth getting it UNLESS it can use rune arrows, then it is different cases.

 

sighted bow is really good, but too bad it is longbow(slower speed). but it is still good for no to low risk pvp and time when needed high ranged bonus. in training is definitely shortbow better.

How do you guys train your smithing? I'm going for 60 right now (at 52), and am smelting iron bars to smith. This should get me around 56-58ish (will have around 2000). Any tips on how to keep going?

If you can, get the scroll of efficiency. It substantially lowers the cost of bar smithing. Otherwise just superheat stuff.

 

If you are going to use the SoE, do iron plates & alch. The lower "tier" the bar, the more bars saved.

Try smelting steel bars using Superheat Item. You don't lose a lot and you get Magic XP too.

Agreed.

 

Take iron for example. Basically, you save one bar per 4 platebodies smithed. That is 5% saved. Or if you choose to smith platelegs (or any 3 bar item), it is 8.3% saved.

 

Steel:

1 bar per 5 platebodies => 4% saved

1 bar per 5 platelegs => 6.7% saved

 

Mithril

1 bar per 10 platebodies => 2% saved

1 bar per 10 platelegs => 3.33%

 

For f2p,

 

Over the course of the road to 99 smithing, if you buy iron bars and smith platelegs, you save 15m. If you do platebodies, it is around 10m.

 

I'd say that once you are comfortable with dung tokens, if you can afford 20k, then go for it. It is a one time fee, so might as well get it. Because there is not really a connection between dung tokens and gp (ie, saving 20k tokens for that gravite recharge is not going to translate to higher income for most people. exception is really really good pkers)

If you have enough tokens, you could replace your maple bow with grav short. It's is more accurate, especially for higher level monsters.

How fast does the charge on gravite weapons deteriorate? I want to get one but I'm not exactly rolling in cash.

It is noticeably slow. I trained 15k pray xp at Hill Giants (which seems to take an eternity) and I only used up 15% of the charge.

Taken from Wikia

You must pay 1,000,000 coins to use this weapon for 10 hours. A game tick is 0.6 seconds, so this is 60,000 game ticks of combat. Each hit takes 6 game ticks, so you can hit 10,000 times in 10 hours. That means that each hit costs 100 coins, approximately the price of bolt spells. Alternatively, each hit costs 10 coins and .0065 tokens if you choose to recharge using tokens.

anyone know where I can find the stats for the 2h?

Smithing - I did iron platebodies, they seem to be the cheapest way to train smithing via smithing. Otherwise I'd just mine iron while superheating. It's quite nice magic and smithing xp.

May I also mention that superheating brings quite a bit of profit too?

 

Also, hey plasmaa, haven't seen you post here in a long time. :D You can change your forum name now, just so you know.

And yes, the profit is about 150gp per spell. Should be higher/lower with the upcoming bonus weekend, can't be sure though.

 

And yes, I'm always reading on Tip.It. I just never post.. until I see a need to. Where can I change my name? :ohnoes: Last time I asked Cowman, he said TipIt never does name changes. <_<

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Though I accidentally changed my name to "i" and wasted one of my three chances. :o

why didnt you open bonus rooms? i can get around 5k xp in f34 solo and usually get that xp in the lower floors

3 Memberdoors blocking all other rooms :angry:

you just had bad luck then, it's not always like that. the other day i got 10k in a f35 med solo.

Hes also lvl 90+... 10k from a floor? were you on member world? (under your name it says your members)

Donate to S_U__O__M_I !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same question....I only get 10k+ on a med if I can doing 5:5 and we get no mem doors whatsoever.

 

Really hard to believe that you get that much on a solo.

Thats not the right thing to look at. I have never been P2P, the members is for the TIF. Anyway, I think it was just some terrible luck on that dungeon, I mean, there will always be member doors, but 3 doors blocking all the other bonus rooms, thats new to me. Could it be another JaGex conspiracy to [bleep] over free players? :ohnoes:

Ehh I get that too. You guys just have bad luck with unclearable doors, I usually get around 7%-12% opened with the occasional 13%. ;)
