Blutters Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Dunno if anyone still needed confirmation, but I had Ely as "rare" a day ago and nowObviously I didn't get it but this at least proves it's not super rare only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arceus Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Those values should be sufficient for a formula, aside from double-checking...

Baffler Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Got my first 'rare' spin today. It was a lamp and on a f2p account, but still. I try to spin on all my accounts in the hope of a unique super rare, but no luck yet. Out of 6 spins so far today, I've seen 3 tattoos though :).

Red Star Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 So you have to subscribe right away to claim the item, or else it's lost? How does that work anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonewall337 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I would actually be really annoyed with coins/huge lamp reward :P, would much rather get something that could show off. And just what would you "show off"? Your dumb luck? It is no different than "showing off" your wealth by buying trimmed armor. To be honest though, I'd be more impressed by someone who got the "Lucky Divine Spiritshield" than a trimmed completionist cape.What ever happened to inidividuals desiring items for their own merit; not taking into consideration what might impress others? Food for thought. Because personally, I ascribe more value to the "impressing" factor then I do to the simple "cool" factor. That is why I strive to be the best. I'd rather show how much better I am then most people, then simply use an item I might find slightly more attractive.

The only difference is some people deny that they do it, ironically, because it's more impressive to pretend not to care. And that's not a baseless generalization, it's literally in your genes.

And that's not a baseless generalization, it's literally in your genes.I should have added that this was simply in video games. I play them because I enjoy the competitive aspect, as well as the progression aspect. I play to become better, and as a result I normally am better then the vast majority of players in whatever game I play. I am not above admitting this. That is part of how I have fun in a video game. Heck, others admit it too. " I am not below admitting that I like to have people oogle at my achievements, titles, and gear." QUOTE from a friend of mine on a different forum. That being said, to an extent I balance personal enjoyment against being the in the top 99.5% (instead of being in the top 95%). I raid with my current guild because I think they are amazing and fun. I trained slayer in RS past 99 while leaving hunting at 70 because I found hunting useless (and boring) and slayer was enjoyable. I could have had max cape by the time I quit, but I enjoyed certain things more then others. This is not to negate my previous statement: I wish to be the best, or amongst the best, but I still balance this with a certain level of what I find enjoyable. What I don't understand is why people chose to be WORSE then they could. I understand not doing something because you dislike it, but I find people doing the same activity as me in an inferior way, when they have the capability to do it at the same level, mind boggling. I'm not talking about AFK training (ivy) v something faster but more attention based (teaks or w/e it is now). Im talking about things like not using potions when slaying, or using a godsword, or w/e. Maybe they find that fun? IDK, perhaps. I just find it incomprehensible. A bit off topic, but germane to the quoted section of the discourse. [hide=Drops]Araxxor Eye x1 Leg pieces x2GWD: 5000 Addy bar Steam B Staff x3 Z Spear x6 Sara.

Bonez899 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I think that it is a cheap way to try and make people go P2P because Jagex allows to win rewards that they need to subscribe to receive, but personally I think that it is a nice way to supplement my cash stack with a couple of thousand gp every day. http://forum.tip.it/topic/325514-bonez899s-journey-to-an-eventual-max/ My blog of progress on Runescape.

Deletion Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't know if naming names is allowed in a positive sense, but I saw this on the RSOF and decided to share: A player named 'mefrog' got a lucky Divine from the SoF. It's too far down his RSS feed to see on his adventurers log, but it's on the long version.
