brunokiller Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 yay for more livid farm grind for some more semi useless spells Trollheim teleport looks really useful tbhas 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. My blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 "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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliboli1992 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 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. [spoiler=Sig] I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 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. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioIce Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 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.

Blyaunte Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 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.
