Jagerblue Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I always look to wiki site or tip.it forum when updates come out. Wiki is definitely a lot faster to output formatted information than any help site because it just intakes data and the users collectively keep updating it, but of all the help sites I'd say tip.it is the fastest to get out a good CONFIRMED guide, rather than a slew of information.

Diesel Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I realize all of that, but they've been right about quite a lot of stuff today.Anyway, small price to pay to get info out immediately. It'll take Tip.It likely 2 weeks to have the same stuff (with the same accuracy) that RSWiki will have after 2 days... 2 weeks?! Tip.It is usually one of the first fansites to have a detailed guide out on new updates in, at most, a few days, and seeing as RSWiki is merely a wiki and not a fansite, I'd say they do an extremely good job. :thumbup:Also, there's a lot of helpful users on the forums that do their part by submitting info and posting screenshots. :smile: <3: Speaking of screenshots, keep those kill shots coming. Obviously, gathering information on Nex is quite a challenge! Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 According to RSWiki the armor will never fall in price due to its High Alchemy values...My God I hope that was an oversight. http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Virtus_armour RS Wiki is 99% fake/stupid on any new update like this. It's full of trolls that will tell you rumour as fact. This. Remember when Balmung came out? 1700+ hits on dag kings? Oh please.It's already edited. Now it says this lol: The set is most notably used for slaying dragons as it grants the same bonus as an Anti-dragon shield A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h!

Uade Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Oh btw, is it just me, or do you think it's cool that the strongest monster in the game is a female? I just find that cool. I have seen many Rants in RS about there being too many male gods and boss monsters, and many people saying males are better yadayadayada. Well, take that! lol. Nex is epic. And hawt too.

Sylpheed Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Exclusive content; +1 Expensive items +1 Good boss (hopefully) +1 Finally another item the average player can't afford so easily, maybe this game still has something difficult to aim for, without an arbitrary self set goal being the only difficult ones left. Lets hope this boss actually takes skill to kill, unlike any other boss in RS. Even tds don't take skill, you just can become more efficient by being better. You do realise you just contradicted yourself right? If someone can be more efficient at Td's by 'getting better' (lol vague) then the exact same thing can happen with Nex. I've done a few kills of Nex with a 15ish man team and her K.O potential isn't vastly different from Corp to be honest. Why is it a good thing that new armour comes out that nobody other than the richest can buy? Does it boost your virtual ego? Other than that, I see the prices of these items as absurd. Once again were going to go through the ridiculous cycle of what happened to divine and ely. Every piece that enters the Market will be snatched up by merchers that don't even use it for it's intended purpose making the entire update pointless. When will Jagex realise that being high level doesn't mean you automatically have max money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just went to solo sara for 1 kill. Two things I found out: 1) Commander Zilyana sounds like a typical female protagonist from a JRPG and 2) I fail at solo sara. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_Ryan20 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 A few things i can see from the information about the update... The bow is terrible. Assuming it has a high repair cost(atleast 2m, rumored to be 5m), it costs more or around the same to use as hand cannon(likely same speed), but you are trading 35 ranged strength bonus for 30 ranged attack bonus... not good. Chaotic xbow+ diamond bolts is also just as good, so i just don't see the point of such a weapon. Making statements based on speculation sure is great!

I'll be VERY surprised if the repair cost is lower than that of chaotic weapons/armor, all of which are level 80 items.

That'd be much better. What is this bull [cabbage] about endgame content? Wow, you really need to understand how to look past your close minded point of view. Generalising my entire comment into one argument is pretty pointless aswell. Endgame content = good However, this ISN'T endgame content. It's content for people with level 80 stats, not 99. Level 80 in a skill is such a stupidly small fraction of the experience to 99 that this could hardly be called a high level update beyond the fact that the boss is challenging. I suppose you think it's a stellar idea to release super awesome and expensive armour into a game where practically the entire market for rare and expensive items is controlled by people who aren't going to use it for anything other than looks and bragging rights. Lol, what a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
