Guide to Politely Killing Aviansies

Introduction:

The purpose of this guide is to suggest some basic rules of etiquette and ways to be polite when killing Aviansies on a crowded world. It is quite frustrating when a player has been killing a specific group of avians for an extended period of time and then someone comes along and begins to (attempt) to steal the kills.

Suggested Kill Groups:

Green lines denote suggested avians to kill, yellow lines denote avian that is acceptable to be killed by whoever it wanders closest to. Why so few in each group you might ask? The answer is multi-part. Unless you are a quite high level ranged or using expensive arrows, by the time you will have killed one avian and picked up your drop the previous avian will have respawned or will about to respawn. So by taking a second or two pause (or none at all) you are saving someone else the frustration of having their kill stolen. On less crowded worlds its okay to shoot nearby aviansies that wander onto your screen and you have not noticed anyone else killing that particular one lately.

Do:

-Change world if you login and the world is crowded

-Change world if the specific spot is taken and the current player in possession does not want to switch

-Stop shooting at someone else's aviansie if you accidentally shoot it

-Give someone some bones if they need them badly

-Shoot an avian that is attacking someone when there are more then one attacking them and are low on life

-Trade with someone who wants to check their drops value

-Change areas when somebody logs back in from taking a short break and the guy at the spot over will back up the now-returned-player's claim

-Flick on Eagle Eye and assert dominance of a spot if someone is trying to take it from you (nothing says MINE better than 3-hitting)

-Advise someone about better equipping themselves for killing aviansies

-Sell your rune crossbow to someone as you are laving if they accidentally high-alched theirs and don't want to lose their killcount, they will surely pay the most they can

Don't:

-Shoot any aviansie that spawns at random

-Purposely shoot at a taken avian

-Claim to have been at a spot before someone when you weren't

-Half kill avainsies

-Assume that because the aviansie is attacking you while you pray it is yours when you already have a target

-Think that because you are a higher range/defense/prayer/combat that gives you more right than a lower level player

By following these guidelines you will:

-Increase your profit by not having to search for your next aviansie to kill

-Not get others frustrated/mad at you

-Not have your kills stolen in revenge

Note: I will add inside the Eyrie after completing my current 4k KC trip and remembering a grapple.

I like the idea of this guide. It's short and to the point - very nice. Unfortunately, the usefulness of this guide depends on whether or not others are following these guidelines of etiquette. If they are running around killing the first aviansies that spawn, this guide will not work. But again, I really enjoyed this and I always appreciate guides on etiquette because there are so many people on RS that lack it! Thanks. :)

All of this is just common sense. Not really needed for a guide.

However common sense is an area that the majority of runescapians lack.

No, Runscapers fail to apply common sense. Everybody has it.

Very few people lack common sense. They just don't use it, or don't care. In the end, usually the better geared player with higher range levels and ammo wins.

This is a very good idea, but I still see a problem. What would be the best course of action if a high level ranger is at two low level Aviansie spawns, and a low level ranger asks to switch spawns with them, because the low level ranger just got to God wars and is stuck with the high level Aviansie. Is the high level ranger expected to move spots and be forced to heal more and/or get slower kills, or should the low level ranger switch worlds?

Sorry if this question is a bit long and confusing, I don't know how else to explain it.

Lower level'd guy would have to hop. You cant' force a higher leveld ranger to higher Avans. It drains their supplies.

In this case the higher level ranger could be nice and move to a slightly more difficult spot, but is not obligated too. THe lower level could also change worlds or find a different area. However, I haven't really noticed any difference in how often/hard the avians outside the Eyrie hit except for the level 131's.

Starting Setup

Decant trip, got really bored at around 500 KC

This is a good setup, i could has lasted a few days here, but i got really bored and had other things to do

I'm 96 range. I'm going for 89-99 on aviansies, and pretty close to my goal. I use the best guthan hybrid gear. I've worked for my levels, and I intend to use them. If someone is in the spot that I use, I push them out. If that means I have to half kill and attack aviansies that are in combat then so be it. Higher levels do have the right to get faster kills and better xp; they've spent more of their time playing the game, and deserve to use their levels accordingly. If we were supposed to be "polite" then were wouldn't be multi combat areas.

Agreed. Screw ettiquete, if you're there for exp, and you should be, do whatever it takes to get it.
