CharlieBrown Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just ran a test - from my spawn point, with no items equipped or in my inventory, I managed to make it INTO the Bandos boss room in 7 minutes and 31 seconds (of course counting banking time etc). This included god items for Bandos, Zamorak and Saradomin, a weapon, a pack yak full of monkfish, and a prayer potion.Bandos soloing is now almost completely safe :D You can get back to bandos gwd in under 6 minutes.It's always been safe.With a 6-minute gravestone? You do realise that your items disappear when you gravestone runs out of time, right? Yes. You do realise it was possible to get back and get your items, right?

SwreeTak Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think that the amount of blessings per day in Runescape will be seriously lowered now. Money goes before honour for a lot of players of this game. Especially if you're slaying some high-level monsters or boss, with a lot of expensive equipment.

Oh wait, it's Bandos. Everyone's death is caused by a lag out.

iiLy Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 If I see a guy wearing full d plate or bandos or something of that nature go down, im looting cause they can obviously afford it if they can risk it, unlike my lower middle class noob self.

Krampell Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Sure it was possible with a 6 minute grave before, but you ended up with barely any time to loot your grave.Now that the timer has more then doubled, you can say that it's pretty much a lot safer now then it was before. Kinda makes me want to go to bandos in full gear, find a popular world, die on purpose and then laugh when they rage when they see me get back in time too get all items back.

Obtaurian Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Good luck looting my grave. I can't think of a single place I visit often that I can't get back to in less than fifteen minutes. I'm gonna be risking a whole lot at Bandos/TDs/DKs from now on.Is 15 min Nex possible? and DK's can still be a pain if you don't have anyone opening doors. I would only go to Nex with my perm DG team. ;) But I do wonder if it's possible to get back to Nex in fifteen minutes. As for DKs, it'd be easy for me to grab a friend real quick to open doors. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel titan scrolls + rapier/ddef + overloads on reavers with claws to claw out the mage spawn is FAST killcount.

Junkieman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The fact we have the room to make the moral choice and can hence make judgements of the entire population based on this now is interesting. Imo human nature is naturally self serving and not selfless, it's what makes the selfless acts so valuable to us, because they're rare. Personally, I'd bless a grave if the person was nice. If I'd be around near them for a while before they died I'd make the judgement, if they turn out to be a [bleep] then I won't bless their shiz. If it's a random grave I'm passing, I'll give benefit of the doubt and bless it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulthresher Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 You can get Bandos, full setup and KC within 10 minutes if you're smart. So a 15 minute grave is more than enough time to get your stuff unless you face power outtage/divine intervention/etc... I came across a blessed grave @ Bandos last night while soloing and I was in there long enough for it to crumble and gain a few measly prayer potions...the fact that it was blessed and there was still loot under it shows that players are taking advantage of the free blessing and not even bothering to loot the graves. I even had a chance at a possible free arcane/spectre spirit shield when I accidentally dropped a lvl 138 at Tormented Demons. (He must have just ate an overload and I lured a demon to my spot and it attacked him :unsure: ). Without even thinking of the possible gains I immediately blessed his grave and just sat there for a minute thinking damn....I could have made a killing >.> There's still danger of course but 12-15 minutes is enough time to salvage your gear at most places. Hell...even 5 was good enough to save me millions before due to dumb mistakes. Don't do dangerous activities with those you don't trust, its not that big of a deal. Think pre-07 when people did just that :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotmein2 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I instantly bless any grave I see out of habit, lol. Chances are, they'll get back to their grave in time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RESULTS Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 thats what i was gonna say, It's pretty much impossible to lose Divines or ely's outside of Pvp because no-one's gonna carry multiples of them or multiple onyx rings(i) in anywhere where they could possibly die.and even if you did have multiples, you have too much money for the loss to be a big one.

Soulthresher Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I figured their alch values were fairly low. Similar to whips vs mystic tops. My mistake. 6 minute just proves the point lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
