xpx Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 So guys... if I don't have the levels required to wield gorgonite, am I disallowed from participating? Great.There are no requirements but for 45 defense. If you have the best binds available to you(and possibly a hood, which would be very important for lower levels on high level teams) there shouldn't be much problem getting into any teams. That said, if you are a lower level and act like it(never tanking any monsters and always running away from everything) there is a high likelihood keyers will not want you on their team.

Hakaan Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I like this clan, but it's always hard to find a team. The time spent waiting between dungeons dilutes the fast dungeon times.You should learn to key. When you depend on a keyer you're gonna be waiting time no matter where it is.I do key, I can't stand waiting for a team in world 148 when I could just start it myself. However, I'm not the fastest (40 mins on average) and even when I volunteer to key in DGS, no one seems to want to do any floors. Come support my max total goal here. Briobe122's 10-step guide to staking:1. Get cleaned2. Vow to never stake ever again! (very important)3. welfare tds and get claws4. kill glacors til i get boots5. bandos ffa or more tds til i have around 50m6. realize that it is far too hard to rebuild using steps 3, 4, and 57. give up the vow to never stake again8. go back staking and make your bank back9. if you failed at step #8, Go back to step #110. if you succeed at step #8, you will eventually feel the need to make money for rich people stuff, have a bad day of staking, then get cleaned anywaysPain is just weakness leaving the body.

SirIzenhime Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I already look for chests, as for herbs I usually just looked for dropped herbs.So it's worth taking the time to buy/plant a seed or two or Lyco/winters? Would it be worth upgrading my Gatherer's ring to t10 then (t8 now) as well? Past T9 gatherers isn't really worth it, unless you a lot of excess tokens on hand.t10 gath would really be a massive waste unless you have the reset. As for snaping, It really seems absolutely impossible for me with all the stuff i have to carry- looting chests, mining ores, all the puzzles(there is no realistic way for me to drop any tools unless grimy is keying), thus i think it would be better for snaping to be done with otherwise low stats, having a packed toolbox and a few tools on the side(the few most important ones like hammer, pick) so you could really go all out and make strong melees for the whole team. This is partly the problem I can see me having. I don't quiet have the stats you see xpx with, but unless there's other farmers, smithers, miners, constructers, etc. I get called for almost any puzzle that requires them, and quiet a few do. I'll try to work farming into my dunges, but I'm still learning as it is, so we'll see what happens. Now, and a random note.A question.What do you think about using mage on gravecreeper? I've never seen it done in this CC, and I personally think it should. My reasonings are the end of This threadWhy isn't mage used on this boss? While I can understand meleeing being better DPS, with the way gravecreeper works, most people find it very difficult to just rush into him all the time. Most people also seem scarred to get close to him again when he "burns" and when he buries and resurfaces, covering the floor with bubbles.

vettro Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I forgot who all was on my team but sorry guys for disappearing like that. My Mom was upset at me and walked up and unplugged the computer. I thought I'd have forty uninterrupted minutes but I guess not. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vex Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 A good way to fight gravecreeper when meleeing: When he does his "burn thing" the square he is standing on isn't effected, if everyone right clicks > walks here, he will be forced to move in order to attack you from an adjacent tile. So do that in combination with blessing the 2 entry pillars and it's no more complicated than it needs to be. http://www.[Caution!

Obtaurian Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 If there isn't a clear path to gravecreeper when he lights up the whole room, I'll sometimes shoot a few arrows at him (and I used to shoot a few surges at him in the same way before I got my hex). More often than not, though, I just hero it and run through the purple stuff to wack him. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I tried maging Gravecreeper with Emp Fire, Strong Magic and T10 Blitzer. The accuracy seemed to be lower than using melee.----------3 of them were running around with Primal 2hs. :rolleyes: In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

FIREWORKS Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hey guys, Could i possibly get into some teams with you guys ? I'm really sick of 117. I'm combat 108, dungeoneering 71 (all skills 70+ if that matters). I've got SSH/Katagon Spear/Surgebox bound (looking to update to spear to 2h asap and i'm also working towards 80 att, it shouldn't take long). I haven't got a clue about efficient DGing but i'm willing to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend adding those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vex Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I still do abandons, however I will only take one inexperienced person at a time so they can benefit a LOT more by watching experienced people & getting help from multiple sources. http://www.[Caution!

SirIzenhime Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 vex and tui are keyers who do abnd fairly often, so if you see them on, watch the chat a bit. Other then that, abnd are pretty scarce among the ranked keyers. Be better of starting your own team, and going from there.Once you unlock a few occults, things in DGS become VERY smooth.

Andy Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Just about getting abandoneds in dgs - I did 30-35 last night. If you get the other people most likely you'll have a keyer join you when it's +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpx Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yep, tui blasted me with 2 berserkers again so i went desperate and got t10 berserker. If this doesn't work and we get no extra bind, i'm going to need a razor blade :rolleyes: First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20.

Obtaurian Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 I lol'd. If Tui takes zerker from you again, ban from DGS tbh. ;) But proud of you for getting t10, in any case. <3 To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Do keyers ever use the tank ring?No, tank ring (along with gatherers for reducing door fail damage) are both out-dated and not used by most good keyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Do keyers ever use the tank ring? No. Keying on gatherer will save you more LP than tank, and even then, most keyers I know key on berserker/blazer or whatever. Doors attacking back is probably one of the most unpreventable ways to die, so keying on gatherer is better. EDIT: I key on zerker/sniper, personally. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

vettro Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Question: to become an "official" keyer, is 100 dungeoneering a requirement? Just curious. Also, at the suggestion of Nintendo I've started keying my own floors. I really enjoy it. My first three times have been 39, 35, and 49 (a dozen dc's by various team members and a ton of slow pot makes). I would really love to know what I need to do to get down to consistent half hour dungeons. Is anyone interested in teaching me the finer points? I'm already learning a lot by feel and trial and error but if someone mentored me in keying that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghjkl Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Open doors and direct temmates in the fastest route possible. You have to decide what route for you and the team will complete the dungeon fastest. Make sure no one is idle, the team should always be doing a gd or a puzzle or running keys for you.

Obtaurian Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yes, 100+ dungeoneering is a requirement to be a ranked keyer. If you're serious about keying, most of the other keyers and myself would be more than happy to teach you as much as we can. Keying, however, is ultimately something that you learn by practicing and figuring out for yourself. Whenever you do floors with a ranked keyer from now on, pay very close attention to what they're doing and see what you can apply to your own keying. :thumbup: To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

vettro Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Ok. That makes sense because you'll get the platebind then also. Yeah basically everything I've learned about keying is from watching you key Ob. :unsure: Haha. I think doing skype makes things wayyy faster but most people aren't up for it.
