so - Hex = Jungle, Sight = Desert, Staff = Ice

World 2 is now buying the staff for 50-500m. It's ridiculous.

 

Anyway, I'm leaving my GE offers at max and am trying to ride it out.

The RSOF is in uproar about the fire cape requirement. I really don't understand that at all.

 

I REALLY hope they don't change it.

 

I feel the same way. I'll be pretty angry if they do. I don't understand why anyone with level 93 slayer or higher wouldn't already have a fire cape.

 

It's not that I don't have the stats, it's simply that my connection speed really messes with my Prayer switching, so really I've resigned myself to the fact that I simply won't ever be able to get a fire cape while my internet is what it is. Honestly, I'd rather they change it to something else fiery. I mean, do they really expect us to gather our capes in a bunch and slap the thing? :^_^:

So does adding the hexcrest and focus light to your slayer helm make the slayer helm give +15% magic and range to slayer tasks like it does melee?

 

And is it possible to just add the focus light to your slayer helm? Seeing I never use magic for slayer.

Does the quest have a defence requirement or reward?

There is no new quest.

The quest needed.

You don't need the quest, that's only for the level-93 slayer ones.

 

Lol, this quote chain makes no sense.

First of all, there is no new quest. The new ITEMS have no quest requirements but the ICE STRYKEWYRMS require Tale of the Muspah to be reached.

Nope, it gives no def exp as a reward nor does it require a level in it.

If you got 95 prayer, you could find a pair of dragon claws and just beast it while crossing your fingers. Your melee stats are high enough for that.

The wyrms look pretty cool.

 

I kinda understand the whining about the fire cape reguirement. I never bothered to get it after failing 5 times and I have 99 slayer.

 

Trial & error based bosses that waste 1.5 hours of your time every time you lose just aren't my thing.

Who said there was a new quest and who said the items had a quest requirement?

oh lordy, staff of light isn't just a magic weapon guys. With that special, I'm seeing a new bounty +1 item. It also has a decent stab. And a special no safespoting mage would ever use.

 

It's the melee weapon of the future, people!

Am I blind or just stupid? I can;t seem to find the Ice strykewyrm anywhere. I tried looking in and around both cave you visit during the muspah quest :S . Does anyone know where they are exactly located?

You can get the Fire Cape without any pray switching. Someone has defeated Jad in under 7 seconds, using Soul Split and Dragon Claw Specials. When I fought Jad, I spent the first half of the fight praying magic against range and praying range against magic since I looked at an outdated guide for animations and forgot about the Graphics update, and still won on my first try.

 

It really boils down to one of three things: offensive superiority so that you can utterly destroy him before he gets TOO many chances to kill you, and hope you get lucky within a few tries, defensive superiority so as to minimize his chance of killing you, or good reflexes and good connection speed.

 

Of course if you have like 10 second latency you're doomed but I don't think anyone can bear playing with that anyways, or if they can, they're a very small minority.

So beautiful........ if only I could get one. :)

*sigh*

 

110 with no special drop and right after I get a 50+ steel drag task with no points to cancel :(

 

450k loot though.

Now that I think about it, if you had the staff and was wearing d-hide, landing the special would get you protection from all sides of the combat triangle at once.

That's the hardest part about these updates. You want the item so bad yet you porobably have to wait weeks before it comes anywhere close to a stable price where you could reasonably obtain one.

 

Still, I have my fingers crossed someone will sell on GE. Not going to happen probably.

D'hide ain't good defence against range mate.

The new max hits are like this now.

 

PvE:

 

Claws of Guthix: 47/48

Ice Barrage: 49/50

Fire Surge: 46

 

PvP:

 

Smoke Barrage: 36/37

Shadow Barrage: 38

Blood Barrage: 39/40

Ice Barrage: 40/41

Miasmic Barrage: 43/44

Fire Surge: 38

 

I don't think that's right. You can't use Zuriel's staff while using Staff of Light, so you're capped at +31% (Wolpertinger for +7 (21%) and Zuriel's Staff for 10%). 32 * 1.31 yields 41.92. Since the % bonus rounds up damage (tested it before) that makes Miasmic Barrage max at 42.

 

Also, the Stone of Jas gives up to +180 magic levels which is 540% damage buff. With Ice Barrage you'll get 555% of 30 and with Miasmic Barrage, 550% of 32. That means you can max 167 with Ice Barrage or 176 with Miasmic Barrage on a Tormented Demon. Fun stuff.

Staff of light is +15%.

The Staff of Light provides a +15% boost.

 

EDIT: D'oh. 3hitm4ge got me.

You can cast Miasmic spells with Staff of Light?

 

EDIT: Oops, fixed the typo. Meant Zuriel's staff of course.
