24-Apr-2013 - Charm Sprites: Catch Them If You Can!

Recommended Posts

Ypu have until the 20th to buy as much as you want, then you can cash it in for xp then?...

 

Actually it's only for 12 days that you can collect them, after that it's all in a declining rate till the 20th =/

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?~ Marianne Williamson

Hmm...so 12 days to mine 30k ores, find 3 blueprints, and mine 3 diamonds...

They're tradeable, I think they're 500gp each atm

Would still be a major pain to stockpile a level or two, though.

 

Someone quickly buy 200M experience. :P

can't say the charm sprites update made it more enjoyable for me; but i do appreciate them spending time, trying to revive these otherwise dead content.

I remember when charm sprites were first introduced-- it was explained that they were designed to be a non-combat way to gain Summoning charms. So I'm completely bewildered when players say "this combat method is faster"... NO. This was a concession to those players that didn't want to engage in combat to get them. By the same token, it was never presented as a prime method of training hunter, so expecting such with an update doesn't really follow, either.

Medium level... Get your stats right. Lol...

Nobody considers level 60 mid level... if you look at what most people can easily get, and how much time things take, mid level starts at about 70-75 (for combats) and maybe 60-65 for agility and stuff. High level is 90+ stats at least. Very high level is 2400+ total minimum, if not 2450+. Don't forget there are thousands of players with 2490+ total (iirc I'm rank 6300ish with 2493).

 

When people say 'mid level' or 'low level' they are not talking mathematics. They are talking 'value' in terms of time and effort, rareness and respectability.

 

Anyway, starfire is still basically cosmetic and useless, but buyable mining is pretty cool. Anyone fancy doing the math on the efficiency of buying spins vs. buying starfire ores?

You're falling into the trap of assuming that the majority of players are in the same demographic as you.

 

Though, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of players these days are high levels. Seriously, when was the last time someone saw a low level player wandering around that wasn't a bot? lol

They're kind of meh to me, although since they do offer competitive xp rates for 72-80 hunter, I guess they won't end up as completely dead content once everyone's done the comp req/got the upgraded stick.

Hardly. I took that into account already, for myself, I considered myself mid-levelled at 80+.

 

I think that if you ask everyone what level is the point people start being 'decent' they'll give you higher levels than I put there. Not having a 99 is considered 'noob' in a lot of places (one thing I don't agree with, but okay), which shows the kind of xp required to be 'decent', as in not a noob.

 

In addition, the following:

There are 316547 accounts with 80+ constitution on the hiscores, 420930 with 70+, out of 606102 (level 15+).

There are 187437 accounts with 70+ agility on the hiscores, 264818 with 60+, out of 541255 accounts ranked (level 15+).

There are 227813 accounts with 1750+ total level (70 average), 315500 with 1500+ (60 average) out of 659964 (1083+ xp, level 34).

 

There is some distortion because people tend to prefer round numbers and quest requirements (for agility), but I think this is sufficient to call those levels I mentioned 'mid-level', considering the number of bots, pures and throwaway accounts amongst lower totals and agility levels especially.

 

Given that we were discussing level requirements for starfire weapons, I'd say even a level 60 agility requirement (like crystal) would make it low-level content :P. Useless equipment that is borderline low/mid-levelled is low-levelled, useful borderline is mid-level (idk, dragon halberd or something).

 

Naturally the whole thing is about p2p skill ranks, f2p ranks are a whole different matter.
