Sylpheed Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 [hide]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. One simple reason: NOT EVERYONE NEEDS EVERYTHING. I don't have any torva. If I stick with RS instead of quitting, then I'll have a hard goal. Things shouldn't be too easy to get. There is no real "end game" content in RS. Hopefully we have some here that is "end game". Expensive to buy, or quite hard to get without actually being decent. No more of this low level mass crap. Now it needs skill, rather then luck. Why is it bad that only a few people can afford something? It gives a goal. Believe me, having the best of everything is kind of boring. Money loses value quickly with only skills and supplies to buy, why monster hunt when a week of MHing will keep me skilling for a month plus? Its part of why I'm enjoying WoW. There are actually things for me to do. Now if I want 120 dg, I grind for 3 months. Same for other skills. I've mastered all the bosses I enjoy and are profitable, I had the best gear, and I had all the 99's I enjoyed. Now there is a new, hopefully hard boss to master, and new gear that might actually take me months to either LS or buy! This gear isn't so much better then other armor that people will really lose out by not having it. In fact, bandos and arma will drop enough to become more accessible. But its a goal. And free trade will limit merchants heavily, in one sense. They will still "flip" items, but instead of having to upgrade items, or use junk, or camp snipe GE, you can buy an item for its actual street price.[/hide] I'm not trying to start an argument here but HOW exactly does this update now make obtaining these armours skill based rather than luck based? Nex needs to be killed in a team, the items have a drop rate and they are tradeable. So Nex works like every other boss which makes every one of it's drops luck based. Again, this isn't end game content, it's level 80 armour with a price that FAR surpasses the reach in price terms of a large portion of people that can actually use it. This update is just further proof that Jagex have no idea how to introduce new equipment into the game other than attaching it to a boss that is entirely luck based in relation to getting it's new drops.

Long sentence.Judging by the fact that diamond bolts can hit 500s too, but their spec activates much more frequently and doesn't kill you, ruby bolts aren't any good for this boss.

You can easily just switch bolts or just hybrid to melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all sources would be Jagex Ltd.?Uhm discovering how a monster is killed is done by "someone" "somewhere". As runewiki strives to be an encyclopedia the data should be noted "somewhere" already wiki.. Then that "somewhere" ought to be cited.

My_Eggs Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 So the monsters in the Zaros area that you kill for your killcount hit through prayer? I went in there with Veracs skirt, BCP, Nezzy helm, ddef, and rapier while praying mage. Only the mage type monsters agroed on me, but even with protect from magic on, I was getting piled with tons of low damage hits. Enough so that I had to tele because I didn't bring much food, assuming I would only need prayer pots..... 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

Grimy_Bunyip Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 i only have a fuzzy idea of what her attack styles are Virus - hits 170 constantly, your character coughs.Shadow attack - you need to run away from where you and your allies are standing, or you will get hitThere is no escape - she runs to center, dealing damage if she runs past you.Thunderous grab - She grabs you, you can't prayer right away. You cannot move.Syphon - Summons 2 reavers, kill them ASAP or she healsMarked you for sacrifice - She targets you, you get a red message in your chatbox, you are told to run away.

Dragonlordjl Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 So according to the RSOF, once you degrade the new items for the first time they essentially become soul-bound. They become untradeable and there is no way to make them tradeable again, even if you repair them. Not sure what to think of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely they will become tradeable again when you repair them to full(as there aren't any degraded versions listed on the ge page). If it is true, it will be very interesting. Another thing to note is that while the mage and range armors are best of their kind, the melee armor isn't(apart from the increased lp limit, they have same def stats and lower str/attack bonuses than stat/vesta).

Toad Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The main quest lies with how to kill blood reavers effectively and consistently, or if it's possible to run out of their hit range and wall them on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danqazmlp Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ah, I would like to see proof of it. If true, yet another reason this armour will have no effect on the majority.
