killotroll Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I don't know if this is widely know. If it is then you must excuse me for the redundancy. I have been familiar with this technique for a while, but I have never really used it systematically. Lately I have received a couple of hard slayer quests involving 170+ Black Demons. Even though I'm a lvl 100 those guys are pretty hard and I would have to use alot of food to kill that many. But... with a fast weapon (e.g. whip) it is possible to kill unlimited numbers without using food or prayer points. How? By using the quickly-prayer-on/off-switching-technique of course! Equip whip and attack the demon and turn on protect from melee. Every time you hit with the whip quickly turn prayer off and then back on (double click on icon). This way your prayer points will not go down and you will still be protected against the demons attacks since they are fairly slow. Bring 1 prayer potion because you migth miss-click, lag or the like and some food and you will be able to kill alot of monsters at low cost. Caution: The monster might be able to get a hit on you in between the on/off-switching. Remember it is recommended to be used on monsters with slow attack. This might be considered noobish but it can help fulfill difficult slayer tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weasel Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 :shock: I didn't know this, Might try on while Dharoking wouldn't recommend it because you can occasionally get hit, and yes this has been posted before... i don't really find it very effective though because you have to sit there the entire time and continuosly click... -= weasel =- rsname: moosewalker ~ top 10000 player :Dfull qp - always willing to chat add me...

Dharok is probably the most dangerous monster to play with using this technique. And yes, I admit that it is boring beyond comprehension to double click for hours. But many aspects of this game is mind wreckingly dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Valor Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Tbh, i would say thats bug abuse. But thats just my opinion, no flaming it. - My skills are now really, really lame ! Time to fix that! - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killotroll Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 Tbh, i would say thats bug abuse. But thats just my opinion, no flaming it. If it is, it can be fixed by letting the prayer drop one point when being turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diverboy699 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 While this may work, I highly recomend AGAINST using it. This, in Jagex's eyes, most likely will be veiwed as a bug, no matter how legit it may seem. So I suggest about sending in a bug report, and then seeing what they decide on it. 91 RC!!! #332 to get it!

n64jive Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 back in rsc, when their were no atk speeds and you were stuck in the fight, you could do this also..and it greatly improved your chance of getting hit(back then it was called protect from monsters)...anyway it made prayer drop at a rate of 1/10 less then what it normaly would...back in the days when prayer pots went for 3k ea...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umega Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Hmm, sounds like too much clicking to me. But could be useful in desperate times. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be used to kill the king black dragon on only a couple of prayer points if you were good enough. As for the prayer switching, I thought you had to re-click the attack button after changing prayers?

Mirror Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I would not do this. You have to be fighting the right monster that goes at the same speed as your prayer clicking. Some monsters attack really slow while some attack fast. You would have to get everything perfectly right. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

king_dharok Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 you might be able to do this at fight pits, this way your prayer lasts longer and have to need less pray pots, so you have a better chance of facing the almighty jad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyuk Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Yeah, this is bug abuse. Don't whine when you get banned. Lol :) You would only get banned if you have an "unfair" advantage over other players, as every player can do this how can it be bug abuse? If Jagex wants to fix it, report it as a problem, but to me it hardly sounds like it's worth it. Everyone knows you can click prayer on/off quickly but it takes longer to kill the monsters as it misses a turn with the whip, although this will still be faster than say using a d2h.

It is bug abuse because you're using a bug in the game to your advantage. I wouldn't recommend using this quick prayer switch thing. By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

kwimbob Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 As for the prayer switching, I thought you had to re-click the attack button after changing prayers? If you have auto-retaliate on then you don't. I agree that this is bug abuse. If they meant for this to be usable, then prayer pots wouldn't exist. I've also heard that it's hard to fix with the prayer drain system currently in effect, so it's been a possible-to-abuse bug that's always been out.
