yay for more livid farm grind for some more semi useless spells

 

Trollheim teleport looks really useful tbh

as if it takes that long to run from trollheim tele spot. You have to do a LOT of livid farm to have it pay off.

"Proximity chinchompas for use in Castle Wars."

 

Worst update ever.

 

Barrows drops appearing in the log is awesome and hopefully they'll be adding more stuff to that soon (a few more clue rewards would be good when getting stuff instead of just finishing every one).

 

The Necromancer robes look awesome along with the hybrid armour, a shame that it's useless outside of those minigames but should be great in them. Also the method of getting them sounds great, very little "pointless" grinding and I imagine people will get them while going for other goals within the minigame.

 

The new spells seem somewhat useful although they idea of getting to 900k points in that horrid horrid minigame is not appealing at all so was disappointed there's absolutely no way to change how that works.

 

Ibis armour is awesome and I'll probably try and get that soon, need to get thieving up anyway so that'll help with that.

 

Tiger Shark is good I suppose although will be the same as Manta Rays and Sea Turtles in terms of amount it's used, unless the shells are decent enough to make people do trawler more.

 

Skull change is good I guess, although will encourage people to camp places (such as Penguins) as if people come back after dying to retaliate they'll be skulled. I imagine a lot of complaints coming soon from players who've not read this update (the fact that it's hidden away in a dev diary isn't good for such an update).

 

But yeah, good update overall I think, just disappointed the quest didn't come today, next week though :)

I for one won't be going for the hybird armour, the only update that really got my attention was the master rcing outfit, i estimated it would cost 10k tokens for the set..look how wrong i was, plenty of 50-50 gop for me!

The other thing that interests me is the neomancer kit, i wouldn't mind trying to get the neomancer kit but i do fear it'll be very expensive and time comsuming for the little prayer bonus that it offers.

The shields from stealing creation will probably degrade quite a lot, don't think i'll be giving up my dragon defender for it any time soon.

Shark Tooth Necklace (Shark Teeth from Trawler)

 

"Effect:

The heal over time effect given when a baron shark is eaten works for an additional 5 seconds.

Eating a shark has a chance to heal an additional 20 life points.

5% additional Fishing XP boost when fishing for sharks.

"

 

Stats aren't great but that 5% additional xp from shark fishing isn't too bad. Need 5 shark teeth + thread and requires 91 crafting to make.

 

The shells gives 60% additional xp in the next game (one does just you, another does 10 people, clan mates first).

 

I have no idea why they didn't mention the new sceptre and the shields in the update, wonder if there's anything else they didn't mention?

It takes approximately 220 hours to reach level 99 runecrafting, assuming ZMI rates of 60k/hr.

Each piece of the master rc set requires 15k tokens, which comes to about 7.5 hours of GOP for each.

There's really no point going for the full set effect in a sense, since the first piece already gives a 0.8% boost, which is almost a third of the full set effect alone.

So on the way to 99 runecrafting, this 0.8% boost will save you 1.7 hours.

The full boost on the other hand saves about 5.5 hours, at the cost of 30 hours of gameplay.

OH YEAH.

Almost all of these new things have absolutely no utility at all.

What's the xp/hour of GOP?

If you enjoy Great Orb Project and hate grinding runecrafting, the 30 hours of a mini-game you like and probably would have played anyway to save 5.5 hours of something you don't might be worth it.

If you hate runecrafting you'd crawlercraft/black dragon craft it depending on wealth.

Plus this math fails to account for the fact the 30 hours includes rc xp.

Granted not best ever but double rate nats is pretty decent xp:hr; enough to probably make it so time wise you only lose out an hour max vs full grind

dont you get rc xp in gop?

 

Woox16/new jad pet. Looks pretty cool I guess.

He's still at W119 Livid farm now if anyone wants an in-game look at the pet for w/e reason :P

They fudged the knowledge base again. The master robes appear to be F2P since it doesn't have the member's only tag, but when you head over to the guild it's actually P2P.

 

Since most opponents are usually robots it is not all that difficult to win every single game. And for some people, mainly the GOP zealots, 60k tokens is a drop in the bucket.

 

EDIT: experience per hour in GOP is tediously slow, but your experience is initially doubled. Then you start adding exp boosts, like runecrafting gloves to triple it. But most don't really play the minigame for the experience if they enjoy it, they play it for the simple yet intriguing mechanics. These robes seem tailored for those who like the minigame.

*Using an arcane capacitor necklace, the Borrowed Power spell allows you to cast the following spells:

 

Wind wave

Water Wave

Earth Wave

Fire Wave

Entangle

Enfeeble

Telekinetic Grab

 

Wow, that's lame. They should've allowed Surge spells as well. Now the spell is just useless.

Are the jewelled statue and diamond statue in pp new?

ROW only items.

Master Rc robes are F2p :cool:

Time to get them on a Few accounts :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

They are not Free-to-Play. They only appear to be.

 

It says member's object on the robes.

Gold keys for shades of morton appears to be pretty rare.

Are you using magic logs and fiyr remains (Highest shade)?

The hybrid armour is only useful in minigames... Not worth coming back for..

Obv, you can't even get them from other remains....

Even accounting for RC xp in GOP, it's like 4k per hour, tops.

Excited!

Well – while I could wax poetic about the uselessness of (once again) offering "hybrid armour" that's only useful in PvP mini-games/activities I will simply ignore this aspect in favour of something far more important:

 

*ahem*

 

OMG!! NEW CLOTHES!!!!!!!!

 

:rolleyes:

 

To start, play any of the following minigames. See the individual minigame pages for full details of the rewards:

 

Castle Wars

Stealing Creation

Fist of Guthix

Pest Control

Shades of Mort’ton

Fishing Trawler

Great Orb Project

Pyramid Plunder

TzHaar Fight Pits

Soul Wars

 

Hmmm -- no apparent improvements/benefits from Trouble Brewing ... :unsure:

Love story offers trollheim teletabs, no need for spellbookswap or countless hours at the zombie farm.

 

10 teleport sceptre would be nice yes.

 

farming [cabbage] from zombie farm produce points.... well 2 hours work for such a usefull scroll yay... its not like betweeen farming we have nothing to do, we do farming between the things we are already doing (to make some money, because we cant all bot)
