Drazhor Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well yeah, since free trade came back, the prices for all raw materials and weapons decreased due to bots and changes to items-kept-upon-death. As for ranging, well as for safespotting, it doesn't seem to work as much anymore so you may have to look into another method of ranging, such as chinning (There is a chinning guide in the Archive of Wisdom forum here on TIF) Major skill updates...well there haven't been any really that stand out IMO, but if you have questions specific to certain skills, then you'll have all the help if you ask here on H&A forum :) Welcome back to the game, by the way! And the community! :P Visit my blog! Click the madness for more madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLeitexxx Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 i heard something about a new slayer monster dropping some sort of expensive seeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Paul Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 It's probably the Ganodermic Beast then. They used to be great for effigies, but since the nerf, their popularity has declined a bit.Still pretty good profit... 1-2m/hr?

Quyneax Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Jagex recently added microtransactions, the way to go if you have lots of money to spend on RS. Major price changes: virtually everything went down a lot. Safespotting ranged is almost never worth it, it's much easier and faster to just tank, since healing has become much easier. Bunyip + EE + few pieces of food will sustain you for a very long time, and there's always protect prayers. That is, I don't think there's an up-to-date safespotting guide.

Jonanananas Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 For magic, there have been two bigger additions, storm of armadyl (a powerful, high-hitting spell that reduces your enemy's defence. If you have an armadyl battlestaff, it will get 1 tick faster. Available after Ritual of the Mahjarrrat, quite expensive though). There's also the Polypore staff, which is a lot cheaper and still has quite good dps(And it works on any spellbook) There's been armour additions as well, ganodermics has high magic defence and quite a high magic damage soak, very powerful armour if you need to tank magic attacks. The dominion tower has been improved to make the collection of goliath gloves faster and easier. There are now flasks which hold 6 doses of any potion instead of 4, they're usually only worth using for stuff like Jad though, not for extending normal trips(too expensive) That's what I can think of on top of my head.
