A myriad grab bag of questions.

Recommended Posts

1: Anyone know some good high lvl DG clans? I'm 100 dg, but not in my old clan, DGS, anymore. While they are good, they kinda shifted away from thier original aim and became a speedrun clan. while htat's good, they got a bit obsessive about it. I'm looking for a clan that cares about speed, but has a more relaxed feel.

1.5: Why does everyone hate shared xp on the dg worlds now? It used to be that only pures cared.

2: What are all the crew traits in POP, and what do they do?

3: Is there any faster way to get metal fragments in BOL? (does row help at all?) The drop rate seems rather low considering you need 1k per, and i want all the overrides...

4: Anyone interested in doing social slayer with me? I want the ice strkyewym pet, and to meet some new people. 90

+ slay would be preferred. (im up late, after 11 pm EST.)

5:How hard is "Hard mode" Graador solo? I havent tried him since before EOC. I have ovl, yak, chaotic long/offhand rapier, maul, full bandos - helm, turmoil. (is SS better than a deflect curse now?)

5.1: what abilities should i use for normal graad solo, and how many kils can i expect with yak, ovls, turn/ss, bandos armor and chaotics?

6: EXPLOSIONS?!?!

7: what happend to god spells? all i see is divine storm, and wearing sara staff and cloak doesnt seem to affect it?

8: Is polypore strike worth anything these days now that magic is cheap anyways?

9: is ther anydisadvantage to using Saradomin warpreist glovews Vs culimancer 10? sara has higher armor and lp, but is hybrid instead of all. is that a bigg difference? (i hate feeling like a noob b/c of eoc >_<)

10: how bad are bots at frost dragons these days? Last few times i tried pre "bot nuke" it was undoable.

11: Never done QBD, is she hard? what kind of cash per hr is she if i farm her?

12: whats a good general purpose damage ring that doesn't require MA?

13: How much prayer can the t3 pig restore, and can i boost skill requirements for the machine?

1.5 XP is used to determine whether opening a door is on the Main path rather than a Dead end path, and shared XP makes determining that XP more difficult, hence most high level DG clans switch off shared XP (which, ironically, has nothing to do with the XP in itself)

 

2. Crew Traits add bonuses and/or penalties to the crews' effectiveness. Since you only asked for crew, I'll label the most prominent ones here:

 

A. Solidarity (First Mate, Eastern Overseer, etc) Gives + stats for every unique crew member you have on that ship, which also count itself and the captain. Due to the stats of the crew it comes in, it is very useful on Dual stat voyages and ESPECIALLY triple stats

 

B. Rallying Cry: Increases the rate which your crew gain levels

 

C. Resurrects: In theory this allows the crew to resurrect any crew member that dies on a voyage, with the added penalty of locking the level of the resurrected crew. In practice it also wipes any base stats the resurrected crew has, which makes this trait totally useless

 

D. Merchant: This improves the amount of normal and trade good you get on a voyage, pretty much a staple.

 

Most of the traits have in game description as well, just hover your mouse over the trait and it will give you the details.

 

But if you mean the text that lies on the very bottom of the crew stats, those are flavor text and does not tie, in anyway, to the crew's stats.

 

3. I would not worry about trying to get all the fragments in due time. Unless fragments is all you are after, the drop rate is approximately 150~200 fragments an hour, assuming you only kill the guys and do not skill at all. If you also gather tears, you'll have plenty of time to get the fragments (150 a day is EASILY doable, even without dedicated killing, and you only need 6000, so 150 a day will get all you need in 40 days, and there is at least 50 days left in the battle).

alright, thanks for the awnsers. I only want sara overrides (Zammmy can go s... oh wait this is a pg13 board.) atleast i have a per hour figure, but that's still REALLY slow. i guess my weeknds are going to be camping at the battlefield :P Esp. since i plan to get all the armor, and possibly the emotes too, depending on what they look like.

1. PvMDG might be a clan you wanna pop into and see. Not sure

 

3. Remember there are 3 overrides on each faction side, so if you want them all you have to switch. But like Tim said it can be easy to get. If you can brother with BOL everyday, aim for 100 fragments. One way to "farm" them is to stand on your side in between the sentries and tag NPC's, using the sentries to boost your kills per hour.

 

5. I've heard Bandos being done by a 2 man group but with poor success, 1 or maybe 2 kills. However, this was a long time ago. It would be wise to ask more pvm people like Ambler and Stev if you get a chance. SS has been lowered to a 5% heal rather to a 10%, but had it's damage cap removed so it may actually be better than what you remember. That said Barrage was nerf'd twice so if you try barrage + SS you may be disappointed.

 

6. All my wats...

 

7. All God spells got "combined" into one spell, which is Divine Storm.

God spells got nerfed into the ground in EoC, and as such it is no longer useful at all past level 70.

 

God staves are just T60 staves, but God cape remains one of the best Magic crit capes in the game (AFAIK, it is only second to Comp cape for crit).

^ God cape is pretty much the only decent magic cape available

Which, for some really bizarre reason, beats the Melee and Ranged equivalents (TokHaar-Kal and Ava's Alerter), despite being arguably the easiest of the 3 to get,

Tbf capes as a whole in runescape are an odd thing of 191 cape items listed by tip.it only a handful are useful:

 

1) Comp Cape, rules the roost

2) Max cape, all class with slightly worse crits than the individual

3) Tokhaar-Kal, best melee class cape

4) Ava's Alerter, best ranged cape

5) God Cape, best magic cape.

6) 51 Skill capes, basic all class def and some crit.

7) Ava's Accumulator, 2nd best ranged

8) Fire Cape, 2nd best melee

9) Obby cape, 3rd best melee

10) Ava's Attractor, 3rd best ranged

 

There's a few theres with some stats, but nothing to right home about. God Cloaks (from vestments) and swars capes wth some def and prayer, legends and ardy capes with all class and some low crits and 3rd age druidic cloak is got some high def for a mage cape but no crits and that pretty much covers all capes with even the slightest hint of a use.

 

And that is barely changed from pre-eoc when the only realy difference was prayer mattered enough to make swar useful and ardy was a pretty decent mage cape option.

8. No, especially with the existence of T90 spells. AFAIK, Polypore strike has a lower tier cap than the surge spells (details are too long to post here), Basically all surge spells do close to full t90 damage when you use Wand and book/orb (in other words, dual wield magic), and staves are either equal or lower than dual wield.

 

In a nutshell, use surge spells

 

9. All and Hybrid work slightly differently when it comes to defence, as far as I know the difference is quite small when dealing with gloves. Perhaps someone can give better details.

Hybrid's a better defensive typing that All. All class is defensively neutral versus all three styles, while Hybrid class is defensively strong versus all three styles. Simplest explanation I could come up with.

From what I've heard, bots aren't an issue at frosts, but casuals are. They come in and refuse to hop because it's their home world and other satanic reasons. Wrecks your kph.

Qbd isn't that hard. Not sure on rates.

Don't bother with hard mode Bandos gwd

1) Cannons suck in general

2) Given frost dragons damage reflecting orbs move cannoning would just kill you

1. Duoing c6 smalls if you know enough about critical paths and such is good exp. You can get through the whole thing in 2-3 minutes and they can be upwards of 10 k xp per floor depending on your level of course. If you have a friend to do it with that's the way I would go personally. Otherwise I do not know any clans that still run it.

 

5. Social slayer partners looking for all the pets populate the RSOF last I checked. You can also add me and if I ever decide to slay again I'll do it with you.

 

12. 6th Age Circuit. It is a reward from The World Wakes and has +2.7% crit for all styles. You have to have completed all the recommended quest lines to obtain it, which you should do if you haven't for the rewards and then the ring.

 

13. Tier 3 pigs restore 840 prayer points. RSWiki could have told you that though. I'm not sure if you can boost to the machine.
