Vezon Dash Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think only wind surge needs only air runes, the other surge spells might continue to require death and/or bloods.Don't quote me on that, but I seem to have somehow gotten that from the latest vid. Except that that wouldn't make any sense lol. Afkable 99 mage for free? Ok. You'd have to keep monsters available though, not 100% afk? And we have no idea what the xp rate would be. All you have to do is just splash on monsters since the base exp of the spell is decent. You could also mage skeleton monkies with it for only the cost of prayer potions.

We don't know if base spell xp will remain constant or not. Also surge boxes will be inside dungeons only. Sure air staffs might work.. But I think base spell xp will be changing.

Saradomin_Mage Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Ice barrage now costs 2 blood runes and 5 water runes. No deaths. Rush and burst use Deaths, Barrage and Blitz use Bloods.

Equenox Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I can definitely see Magic Ultimates having a cost in High-level runes, so that might be where Deaths/Bloods are most used post-update. Equenox's Blog of Things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we know, abilities won't have rune costs... Ala, cheap magic.

Saradomin_Mage Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Rune costs for magic damage spells have been reworked and are generally much cheaper. The standard air spells now just require air runes, so you can cast for free with an air staff. Using the new abilities does not consume ammo for mages or rangers, only your auto attacks comsume ammo, so the cost of combat for mages and rangers should come down quite a bit. 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...

Platinum_Myr Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 It may well change during the beta. But I hope they don't just eliminate the real need for combat runes in mage. Cheaper is good though :) Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycdcm Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Glacors just got a lot more profitable.Glacor drops just got a lot cheaper* Ontopic sidenote, interesting the changes to armour hinted in the video, and the stats of weapons. I have a slight fear that this may be the phase out of fixed mode.. Fixed mode screen is going to be getting very small fitting in the action bar as well.. Although that said, one of the main drawbacks of resizable/fullscreen is the increased effort switching between interfaces, so perhaps it may not be such a bad choice anymore.

Platinum_Myr Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Without the need to move around interfaces during high-tension moments, it should be a lot easier to do many activities like low-alch fishing and so forth.

Riptide Mage Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 When the boxes are deleted and the refunds given the runes will not be refunded currently (this may change if I get the time to do it, but its low on my list of tasks). I would recommend taking the runes out of your boxes just to be safe. The update that deletes the boxes won't be until the combat rework goes to the live servers in several months time though. Typical Jagex competency, they plan for something to screw over players? You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level.
