Lord Paul Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Great and easy to understand guide!It wasn't boring even though I'm familiar with everything you covered. It was short and to the point. As with all guides, they belong in the Guides section, so I've moved it there. :) Working on max and completionist capes. 2435/2475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noxx Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It's pretty hard to make a guide on staking, as a lot of it comes down to mere luck.I took the 50m i had, 3 days ago, and started staking pretty much using what you mention in the guide. I only switched between Attack and Defense and NEVER used kick. I also utilized the Martingale "technique". Glad to say it's taken my bank up to 1.5b. Not sure if that was just extreme luck, or if your method actually does make the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Great video and guide. You clearly described everything, and went in depth on how to do the PID thing, which I didn't entirely know how to check. Thanks for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Wrath Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Has all the details a staker would need to know, to win. Good guide. Myself being an avid staker, I would suggest adding in SELF CONTROL. Because getting carried away can cost bank. Some strategies include walking away when you sense a lose streak, or banking a fraction of your winnings often, as a safety net so as not to get cleaned. Over the past two days, I have turned 2mil into 101m, all from staking. I use kick moderately, because I believe damage rolls calculated via the rs RNG come in waves, and you can chain them 2-4 times. If you use the kick during this chain, its possible to get in multiple 100+ hits in when you barehanded box. Mind you, I dont mage box at all, and I sometimes rapier box. Pid and style switching is extremely important in rapier boxing, but a lot of people pull out their vls and cls for a few hits, sometimes giving them an unfair advantage vs a naked rapier. Also, try not to spam click when you bare box, as you will hit the opponent simultaneously in the beginning and will lose the ability to style switch. Just some tips from a fellow staker, once again, great guide! || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Wrath Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well, runescape uses RNGs for a lot of things, like calculating drops as well as damage. What ive noticed is that, in staking, successful damage rolls come in waves, if you use kick at the right times, it calculates the extra 3 invisible strength levels in, you hit higher. || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry picking, confirmation bias, and one other that I can't seem to recall at the moment that is much better. In a nutshell (or cherry pit), what makes you think so?

Grim Wrath Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well, I don't mean to make it JUST from my own experiences, but I'm pretty sure the wave thing is accurate. When dice used to exist in rs, numbers came in high waves and low waves..these waves lasted seconds generally and it was well known for people to snipe large bets when they diced. The wave mechanic could also apply for damage... || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The dice thing was people noticing patterns that weren't there. Each event is independent of all other events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Wrath Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 You do know that most kinds of computer generated randomness isn't TRULY random right? No matter how obscure the programmers make the RNG code, there is a repeating period, and that period can form a pattern. || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 >.>Yes, there always is a pattern. However, you'll never be able to pick up on it, no matter how god-like you think you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Wrath Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I might not be able to pick up on the whole pattern, but the fragments that matter, I try to. I use this to my advantage, I think others should try to as well. || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Wrath Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What would be a good enough sample size for you people then? and would you like it with advantageous pid or not? Lol. || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothScape Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Glad you all enjoyed it =) I use kick moderately, because I believe damage rolls calculated via the rs RNG come in waves, and you can chain them 2-4 times. If you use the kick during this chain, its possible to get in multiple 100+ hits in when you barehanded box.What? Hmmm...if you can explain this to me in a message with more detail I can look into it and do test similar to what I did in the vid and see if you are correct or not.

Syd Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 It's pretty hard to make a guide on staking, as a lot of it comes down to mere luck.I took the 50m i had, 3 days ago, and started staking pretty much using what you mention in the guide.

Not sure if that was just extreme luck, or if your method actually does make the difference. It was extreme luck I would say. Martingale technique as it might seem like one to give you great odds, will eventually most likely lead to you getting cleaned. Using martingale technique as one to "maximise your probabilities" to win back what you lose in long term also increases your chance to lose everything in long term. Only way to make profit using martingale technique is getting lucky and walking away when you're up enough. If you're doing well now, it's just more likely you're going to eventually hit a losing streak that you can't double your pot out of. I hope I explained myself clear enough for anyone to understand. I would do maths if I'd bother but you can read more about the technique from wikipedia or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
