It loads from the client and the website but when i click auto set-up for graphics settings it shuts down.are you still having problems? I just assumed it was the terrible laptop I was using but I'm having the same problem I'm back on the forums! Older, wiser, and......still a noob...

Yoko Kurama Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 15-17, 10-11 how low can you go ? Crashing fast! Of course. This was predicted and foreseen by everyone. No slayer drop, unless it has some obscene drop rate, will EVER be worthwhile in terms of its prices for very long because everyone and their mothers have 99 Slayer (well, not everyone, but a lot of people). It also doesn't help that everyone has a Mask of the Abyss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's also not even remotely close to being an endgame item. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I thought it only dropped on task? I mean I know mask of abyss can help with that but... It definitely is more rare than it could have been. Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urza285 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It's also not even remotely close to being an endgame item.Okay that was a bit far... its t75 which is just sub-end game.

Autist Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 ~1150 kills and not even a whip drop.

May be considered spam, but Ove, nice to freaking "see" you. To stay on topic, what do you reckon the drop rate for wand/orb is?And do you think they have altered the whip drop rate(confirmed by Jagex at 1/512 if I am not mistaken). I am bringing this subject up because I have seen a lot of people prompting "I have killed 2xxx abyssal demons" and not getting even a whip drop.

Saradomin_Mage Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's probably 1/1024 for orb and 1/1024 for wand. Whip should still be 1/512. 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...

Congratz on getting your name....as your name :D Life just goes by way too fast. Gotta make an effort to meet up some time, though. Whip droprate definitely hasn't changed, but i'm guessing orb/wand droprate is about double that. Which is probably a reach considering it can only be dropped on task. First to 99 Farming on 27.

ixfd64 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Something strange just happened: I was slicing open dung beetles when I got a message saying I earned a Treasure Hunter token. But when I opened the Treasure Hunter interface, it still said I was out of keys. I logged out and back in, but that didn't help. Anyone else experience this?

michel555555 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 it gets dropped on the ground if its from a monster. [spoiler=click you know you wanna]Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies.

helring Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Whip drop rate has changed. From the F.A.Q. at http://[Use Quick Find Code]/[Please Use QuickFind Code]?15,16,222,65290258 "Q: Is the drop rate of the Abyssal Wand/Orb more common than, as common as or rarer than the whip? Mod Timbo: The drop rate of the Abyssal Wand and Orb is much rarer than that of the Abyssal Whip, however, I won’t be saying exactly how rare! On a related note, the Abyssal Whip was made rarer with this update too going from the previously announced 1/512 to now being 1/1024." R.I.P. The olde nite.

Saradomin_Mage Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Just saw that too, for all we know the drop rate of orb/wand could be 1/2048 now so the rate of an abyssal item remains at 1/512. 3 In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Speaking of which, why is the whip going up in price right now? I figured the market was already flooded with them and I'm assuming a ton more are entering the market with people trying to get the Wand and Orb.Is it just because of the special attacks potentially coming back? If so, I thought the Whip special attack wasn't that great and the whip is only a level 70/75 weapon to boot. ---------------------------- ';..;' ---------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not all market changes follow common logic. In this case, it's likely that people were/are speculating with it's price, causing it to fluctuate. Just look at dragon claws- they are still just as worthless as before, but the price is still higher. On the topic, i managed to get an orb, then a wand and finally a whip on the same task today. The wand/orb are already at their GE prices. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.First to 4664 Port Score on 2. March, 2015.

ilovecuttingyews Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Merchants. Doesn't matter if whips will be no good, if people think there's a gp to be made in the near term, people will jump on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
