RuneScape PvP World Changes Review

I have spent the last 3 days planning and making a PvP World Changes Review.

I wanted to also test if Jagex has properly fixed the 26K Trick, Hope you enjoy:

As you can see from the video,  I don’t think Jagex has been successful in stopping players abusing the Potential System. Using EP (Earn Potential) will still bring you alot more than the 76K coins which your partner dies with.

I think a permanent solution to stop the 76K Trick would be to stop players entering over the Wilderness Ditch with any Combat Unrelated Items such as coins etc

Reached 16M Runecrafting Experience and achieved level 62 Slayer (Total Level now 2157)

95 Strength

Today i achieved level 95 Strength and i am faced with a hard choice.

Should i stay level 105 Combat with 95 Strength, and go straight to Bounty Hunter to Pk?
Or should i first max out with 99 Strength and be combat level 107?

It would be amazing to have 99 Strength and another 99 skill, however i don’t know it i have the time or patience to get that high.

Back To Square One

Since Pking seems to be ruined for me, i went back to Runecrafting.

I am considering using an Armadyl godsword to Ko while ranging.

However it is currently 68M, so i have quite a bit of money making to do.

Bounty Hunter, Here i come

Today i finally achieved my goal of 80 Strength! (Total 2121)

It is now the time to try out my new Hybrid Pking methods using Range and Melee for special attacks.

Sold my Saradomin Sword : 6,252,000 GP

I logged into a Bounty Hunter World and equipped my usual Range Tanking Gear. (without the Torag Helm since i will be protecting my Dragon Claws)

I was VERY disappointed when i saw that Jagex has nerfed Dragon Claws making them hit much less.

I killed only 1 person, then after dying twice i gave up with Bounty Hunter.

I think i have ruined Icey Dan1 now. Since my strength is higher, my combat is too high for range tanking. The majority of range tanks are level 60-90.

I’m really not sure at all what to do. Pking with Dharoks or rune armour looks too hard and relying on Dragon Dagger specials seems pointless too.

Dragon Fire Shield PK!

OMG OMG OMG I pked today a DFS (Dragon Fire Shield)

I’ll probably upload a video either today or tomorrow with my kills 🙂

Also reached 8k subscribers on youtube 😮

More Bounty Worlds

I changed back to Lunar spells. I want to take advantage of the new update while i can. lots of new players will be trying to pk, meaning some easy kills.

I also have a feeling jagex will update it soon meaning bad loots.

So i want to make the most of it.

Randomly had the Grave digger random even. I decided to choose the zombie walk emote as a reward.

New Bounty Hunter Worlds PvP

Today Jagex added the new Bounty Hunter worlds in Runescape.

After reading the update page, i couldn’t help but to feel disappointed. I would really prefer to have the old Bounty Hunter back.

I decided to hop to a Bounty Hunter world anyway and give it a try. Since well over 50% of the world are at Edgeville bank, it was very laggy. I managed to kill my target once which was awesome loot, a dragon med helm, infinity hat, rune boots. I also killed three other rangers who were not my target. The loot was quite good. One of the loots was an amulet of fury! I couldn’t believe it!

I edited my Bounty Hunter review and guide video, i’ll upload it later tonight.

When i logged back in after editing, i died straight away which was disapointing.

Not The Only One

ANOTHER System Update today… But still not Bounty Hunter.

I checked the Recent Updates section on the Official Runescape Forums. There is a pinned thread titled: Temporary removal of Bounty H.

We have temporarily closed the entrances to the Bounty Hunter craters while we fix a few problems with it. Broadly speaking, we are looking to fix the following issues:

* The level-matching system wasn’t working at all well, with players often ending up in unfair battles they were unlikely to win.
* With the launch of PvP worlds, Bounty Hunter suddenly became less populated, which meant the bounty mechanic stopped working properly. We still love the idea of a bounty mechanic with players being given targets, but we think it can be done so much better, especially given what we have now learnt from PvP worlds.
* Real-world trading was occurring at quieter times of the day.

Don’t worry, Bounty Hunter isn’t disappearing forever – we’re just disabling it while we fix the problems. Bounty Hunter will be back.

We do not intend to reset the hiscores tables associated with the minigame, and will make sure that everyone’s hard work on those hiscores is not lost.

You will still be able to use the Bounty Hunter bank and the games necklace teleport to the area.

There are nearly two thousand replies to this thread. I read a few pages, and was qutie annoyed to see a few people thanking Jagex for this update…

There was alot of people complaining it’s taking too long, iim glad to see i’m not the only one.

Real World Trading Thoughts

Only 141k Experience to 98 Runecrafting!

There was a system update today and i was really hoping it was Bounty Hunter. But it was just a system update! Shame on you jagex.

There was a horrible update which i really don’t agree with. This is  a quote from Runescape.com News Article :

We’ve made a couple of changes to the party room due to concerns about abuse by real-world traders. Firstly, drop parties are now available only on two worlds (131 and 152). Secondly, players must now enter their bank PIN (if they have one) before putting items into the drop chest. We’re sorry we have to do this, but we can’t let real-world traders ruin the party.

I think Jagex are taking this Real World Trading thing WAY too far. I agree with the trade limit, i am completely happy with it.
I know Bounty Hunter was a major problem, since people in F2P were able to trade over god armour worth over 2million gp and easily beat the penalty with a bit of defense.  Why couldn’t they just have listened to my suggestion : Don’t allow people to enter the craters with God Armour.

But seroiusly? The party room? When you add any items, all the bankers in Runescape spam it, and the party room is packed. You are extremely lucky to get anything. It’s absoutely ridiculous the party room is limited to only 2 worlds. I mean it’s probably faster to just trade 3k coins over every 15minutes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they nerfed the trade limit to even less.

Note: I’m not saying that real world trading is NOT a problem. I understand perfectly that it was causing credit card fraud etc. I am 100% supporting the trade limit, but i will NOT support Jagex changing things like Bounty Hunter and the Party Room to stop tiny levels of trading between accounts.

A Brighter Future

Continued Runecrafting.

Getting very close to 98 runecrafting, only 400K Experience to go.

I hope Bounty Hunter re-opens before  i level, cause i realy don’t want to be closer to 99 Runecrafting. It’s too much of a distraction when i want to improve my PKing skills.

And PVP is no fun atm, i’m a much better Bounty Hunter.

Today i dumped my Yew Seeds at maximum price, 79k Each. The Dump price was set at 90k each but i wanted cash early.

I’m very happy that my obby capes are slowly but surely selling.
Only 179 left to sell 😀
