  1. Why do you have an armadyl helm on? Seems odd considering the whole zammy stuff
  2. I just did a floor, and my celestial robe top was tank armour. I don't think they really took any special precautions with dg. I think nearly everything is a standard tank armour
  3. Goddamnit Jagex :( Apparently the accuracy of EVERYTHING has been drastically reduced, so this is actually a problem now. I hope stuff wasn't affected as much, but ugh....
  4. I'd really love to see some data on how many new players enter the game, and what percentage of those players stay for longer than a month, 3 months, a year, etc... As far as I can tell, this game would be overwhelming as all hell just getting into it. There's so much stuff to do, and really no "order" to do it in. It's not like "OH hey kill these guys, move on to the next area, kill these guys, do some quests", nope, it's like "Oh here's a world map you've never seen in your life, now go figure it out". The sense of adventure must be nice though, having to figure where the hell anything is, I guess we take it for granted that we know Gielnor like the back of our hands. Most efficient way to get from A---->B? Yeah done. I do like the incentives for new players via a small 10% XP boost up to level 30 thanks to the referral program, makes levelling to better levels just a bit easier. And psychologically speaking, the game MUST be easier at lower levels to get all those awesome easy level ups to have em coming back for more. As for combat/armour, tough shit. At least for p2p, most members are generally higher skill/combat leveled. I don't think this is as much of a legitimate complaint though, getting materials to make your own steel crossbow or whatever encourages you to think, interact with players, and makes you feel like you're helping your character out.
  5. Does this mean that void armour lost its boost?
  6. Just wondering, I quite enjoy taking out ice strykes. It's pretty satisfying to get all those high hits and just watch em sink into oblivion.
  7. I'm not sure about WFS, but I was able to reach 250k melee xp/hr with around 60 blues at Mutated Jad Males without Ovls/Turmoil/Drygores/Chaotics. So it is definitely possible to get those rates if you have top tier gear
  8. Yes, because picking up charms was a genuine challenge and not just an inconvenience that we're better off without. Idk Alg, I had a BLAST taking 5 seconds out of every waterfiend kill to go pick up my crimsons /sarcasm.
  9. I bought a few of the elemental scrimshaws, its supposed to 6.66% mage damage, and it does - checked on crits. Skull of Vecna also significantly increased crit damage Magic Might (10% mage prayer) also increased crit damage. All 3 of these in unison decimated K'ril.
  10. !!!!! This is HUGE - " Quercus will now tell players when the next Warband will be spawned. Just realized that this is probably the best update from this, can't wait.
  11. Underwhelming update, really. Oh well, I'll check out what it looks like after I'm done this gwd trip. I love how in the BTS they're all "There will be less queuing and less waiting trying to get into the arena" - As if the duel arena (post EOC) has ever been busy enough to warrant something like this. Was looking forward to instanced GWD, hopefully next week.
  12. Duel Arena (free players and members) The Duel Arena has been given a great big graphical polish, bringing it up to the standard of the Al Kharid rework that came with the Stolen Hearts and Diamond in the Rough quests last year. Go head-to-head against your chosen foe amid flowing banners, rough-hewn masonry and sand-blasted ruins; there's no more fitting place in RuneScape to prove your worth in one-on-one PvP combat. We've made some structural and technical tweaks, too: there are new, dedicated arenas for boxing matches and summoning-enabled duels, and - while there are fewer visible combat arenas - starting a duel when they're full up will automatically generate an instance for you, so you'll always have a place to fight. If you've not ventured out to the Duel Arena before, there's never been a better time to do so. In the arena, you can get a taste of PvP combat with no chance of losing your hard-earned gear. You set the conditions of the fights: you can duel for a mutually agreed stake of items or gold coins, or just enjoy a friendly scrap for fun and bragging rights. You can set other conditions too: fancy a muscular brawl just with melee weapons? No problem. Think crossbows at dawn are the only civilized way to settle a dispute? That can be arranged. You can even claim a duellist's cap from the mightily moustachioed Estocada, which can be upgraded as you rack up wins for improved looks, an emote, and the ability to transform into a statue commemorating your victories. The gauntlet's been thrown down. Go forth and duel! Mod Wilson How to access the Duel Arena: The Duel Arena can be found just a short way north east of Al Kharid. Within its bounds, you will see an axe icon in the top right of the screen. When this is visible, you can right click other players and click 'Challenge' to invite them to a duel. Requirements: None. Behind the Scenes Video Take a tour of the improved Duel Arena in our latest Behind the Scenes video. There's information about the benefits that the HTML5 Graphics Engine will bring to RuneScape 3, too: In Other News Want to mix up the music for your travels around Gielinor? Now you can, with the new music shuffle button. Find it in the options interface. New elemental outfits and emotes - based around earth, fire, wind and water - are now available in Solomon's General Store! Don't forget that there's an easier-to-win super rare item on the Squeal of Fortune, each day until Thursday. Once they've had their time in the sun they'll no longer be up for grabs, so be sure to spin every day! See here for details.

  13. Also, warbands give a significant amount of xp/hr of actually doing them.
  14. Well, they could just release an off-hand whip and make a 2h whip a lot less useful. But then again if they did that there would really be no use for chaotic longswords since Vine whip + off-hand vine whip would be equal. Right now vine whip + EE is already better dps than CLS (unless they've changed it).
  15. Hey guys! I just wanna get some gp to train my skills, so I figured I'd go kill some baddies and loot their dead corpses. Anyway, stats are as follows: 99 Def 99 Constitution 92 Str 90 Attack 99 Magic 99 Range 70 Pray No access to ovl's yet. 95 Slayer - Can do Ganos *I can get 85 dg for frosts if they're really worth it I was thinking of killing ganos for money as I hear its good, but i'm not sure what the gp/hr is now. Could always go bossing as well, I figure zammy at gwd with a partner wouldn't be too hard. Thoughts guys?
