Umega Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I don't like this and another part of me likes it. This means I will have to eat more food, but Verac is supposed to hit through defense/prayer anyway and plus if I get a barrows drop it will sell a bit more because of this. :D No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

tehlukewarm Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 wow talk about overreacting drama queens. all this means is that you'll have to eat a couple more sharks and maybe cast magic dart a few more times per trip. unfortunately jagex have once again shown their incompetence; taking a year to fix such an obvious 'bug' and their 'hidden updates' sending ppl to potential death.

ldbh2o Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yes, the title may sound obscure but it is correct. The NPC Verac at Barrows is hitting through mine and my friends prayer! :shock: Do not do barrows unless you already do it without prayer. Either this is a bug or Verac can actually hit through prayer. :x Watch out! :!: His set effect negates ARMOUR DEFENSE, not prayer? Players (in the wilderness) hit through prayer better because prayer contributes to the armour bonus. -.- Monsters do not hit through prayer though because it enables us 100% protection =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meb Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 +1, i can only hope that instead of 7 years, it will be 7 days to get rid of the protection prayers. Now that would make a fire cape a real achievement :roll: . Not goign to happen...

TwistedTransistor01 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 ok Just one question, i know Verac's Special effect is that it will in a hit... Act as if you have no armour bonus etc... How HIGH does it hit and how long is this specieal effect last?...personally i would love to buy veracs but i am a poor level 97 w00t!

sa121 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Doesn't affect me, I never have gone to Baarrows, and I'm to low a lvl to try. Anyways, I'm more of a "buy-everything" person, not do 300 trips for full Barrow's sets.

thargor01 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 This is either a very bad bug... ...or a VERY VERY bad hidden update! :( I have no problem with the update but I agree it really shouldn't have been hidden that could kill ppl that do other things (forums etc.) while doing barrows :notalk: :-k :evil: finally back in the game! send me a message, all my old friends quit I laughed so hard I pooped my thong. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quakingmoose Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Good thing I never pray on him. :P Plus, I don't know if anyone else posted this (I didn't bother reading all the other pages of this thread), but I noticed that even if you pray on him, he wont hit you as much. For example, without prayer he hits alot of 20's and such on me, but when I pray he only hits a max of 12 it seems like. 3 Solo Hilts (2 Saradomin, 1 Bandos)10 Solo Saradomin Swords48 Abyssal Whips217 Barrows Items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomdavies90 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 chances are it may be a bug i mean barrows has been out what over a year now and it's taken them that long to put in one of the major things that people going there may have noticed which is that oh i can use pray on verac and he doesn't hit through saying that though maybe jagex want to make barrows a bit harder because of the rising economy so who knows could be either... EDIT: if you think about it tho still use prayer!!! because he wont hit through every hit and hell probably hit less so still worth it your just gonna need to keep your eyes open more! Sig by me....
