How to get Good Loot in Bounty Hunter/PVP Worlds

Posted by mike

This Guide offers the following

  • How to maximise loot potential.
  • How to do PVP tricks that return good amounts of money.
  • How PVP tricks can act as a transfer method.
  • A good technique on gaining effort points.

To Get effort Points you must first have a risk on your character. In P2P this risk needs to be above 76k, and in F2P it needs to be above 26k.

How to maximise loot potential:

First and for most Effort Points. Effort Points contribute to the chance of receiving good loot player killing (PKing) with more than 30% effort points can be advised. Now often people say, well EP is hard to get, you’re constantly watching the screen to ensure you have not died and lost your 26-76k risk, however, today I am going to show you a technique which is going to end this particular issue.  AFK EPing has never been easier follow the following steps

  • Go to the GE buy a wizard trimmed top.
  • Also buy black knifes
  • Go to a +1 bounty hunter world.
  • Place yourself in a position that cannot be hit by ice barrage or other long distant spells.
  • Set your character to auto attack, equip the knifes.
Now you’re probably wondering what will this do.  When a player comes to attack you, when your away from your key board, your character will throw the knife, which ordinarily would hold over the Wizard Trimmed top, this means for the time you had been EPing you had been EPing with a risk, but when you throw that knife and die in a bounty + 1 world you will keep the top – Good Game EP hunters.
Drop Potential: Often people state, well if I have a high EP, I will ultimately get more loot. I’m here to tell you EP is only 50% of the component taken into account when receiving loot. There is a hidden little thing known as ‘DP’ or Drop potential. Essentially Drop potential measures the following thing and gives loot accordingly
  • Total Risk
  • How many deaths have you endured and what have been the loses
  • Is the person killed on your friends list?
  • Did the person that was killed recently kill you?

Based on the above information, loot is distributed, hence, if you look at this criteria and twink it for when you do the PVP tricks discussed at the bottom you should maximise loot.

Player Versus Player Tricks

I’m sure all of us have seen players purposefully allowing themselves to die to another person in a ‘PVP trick’ then allowing the friend to then kill them. This doesn’t get good loot as when you kill the other person you simply get a revenge kill. So the person who gets the first kill wins, but the other person has basically wasted his/her money. What I would suggest doing is getting 3 individuals and tricking as follows: Player one kills player 2, player 3 Kills player 3, player 3 kills player one and enjoy your revenge free loot

Using PvP tricks as an unpredictable trade method:

If you have one account you haven’t used in years I suggest doing this in order to gain some wealth. First, ensure your EP is at 90% +.  Get your other account, with their total wealth, buy any of the following items

  • Whip
  • Dragon Claws
  • Dragon Boots
  • Rune items
  • God Amours

Take them to the wilderness, with full food, potions and everything. Create a staged fight, where one character over eats to the point it causes them to lose, and you rig the fight. This will enable you to get reasonable loot from them. For a more detailed guide on using this as a transfer method contact. Ysondra123@hotmail.com.

A new name. A new life!

Posted by 11

Salutations,

Recently I was trading some unstrung magic bows in for cash at the Grand Exchange and I over heard a fellow member of the fine Runescape game speaking about getting a name change. I inquired as to what he meant exactly and he went on to explain that JaGex is considering implimenting a system which will allow for players to change their in-game-name. Now, we won’t be able to change the name we use to log in… but our character name will be able to be changed.

I am very interested to see how this will play out – considering that many of the popular names are either already taken/banned there may not be much room to move in terms of acquiring a new and unique name. However I am sure that somebody will find a way around this somehow.

Up for the Ultimate Challenge? Try soloing the Corporeal Beast!

Posted by Nick

This is almost an advertisement for a competition

Ever since September, 2007, when Jagex Created the Corporeal Beast, a level 785 monster, the contest’s been on to see who can successfully solo it. If you think you’re up for it, a successful solo should be posted as a video on a site. The player who successfully solos the “CB” will certainly go down in RuneScape History. If you want to make RS History, then this is for you. However, it will take uncanny skill, weapons, and intelligence to defeat the Beast solo. Many players speculate it is actually impossible to kill without a clan.

Remember, only videos of successful solos will make you a hero!

See http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Corporeal_beast for information on the Beast itself.

The Prayer Beast

Posted by Turbo

I am doing a series on RS pures on my blog, and since more readers is better than fewer, you get to read it here too!  I am going to edit these RS Blog articles to keep the posts at a more manageable word count, so if you want to see the whole article check out the RS Economist, but the important facts are all here.

The Prayer Beast

They are one of the most lethal killers out there, the G Maul Prayer Beast.  Before the G Maul spec nerf, they were really lethal, but still they are pretty powerful, and are starting to make a come back.

Required Skills

  • Str: 50
  • Att: 50
  • Def: 0
  • Prayer: 31

Those are the minimums you will need to be a serious threat in PvP fighting.  Minimums to wield the G Maul are 50 att and str, keep def at zero to minimize your combat lvl, and prayer at 31 for Ultimate Str.

Outfit:

  1. Iron Full
  2. Cape – 600gp
  3. Amulet of Strength
  4. Granite Maul – 130k
  5. Explorer’s Ring – Lumby Achievement Diaries
  6. Monk Robe Top – Prayer Guild (535gp from GE)
  7. Anti-Dragon shield – King of Lumby (289gp from the GE)
  8. Monk Robe Bottom – Prayer Guild (485 from the GE)
  9. Safety Gloves – Stronghold of Player Safety
  10. Fighting Boots – Stronghold of Security

Total outfit cost:

About 150k.  If you want to spend the time, pick up the free stuff, but it is all pretty cheap.

Inventory:

PK food and  Zammy Brews.  At the cost of <250 per dose, they offer the str and att bonus of Super pots at 1/10 the price, and prayer bonus.  They do have an HP and def penalty, but at 1 def, it doesn’t matter so gobble a fish to heal up after every shot.

Carry a rune scimmy.  Twice as fast, and hits higher than a maul.  Wound them, then pull out the maul and Quick Smash ‘em to death.

Turbo Tip:

It is easier to buy the materials for Zammy Brews and ask for an assist than it is to buy them.

Can’t we just all get along?

Posted by Maarten

You know that feeling, starting a new game. In most games, you start out with a tutorial which learns you the basics of the game. Okay, check, Runescape has that. After you’ve done that you can start with “the real deal”, the actual game. This is when you usually need help to learn everything, but somehow Runescape fails at this crucial part. Probably the reason why they introduced all those new helpers in Lumbridge not too long ago, and also many other things…arr
