how 2 defener: real edition from pro™ defender Pizza Pirate

Normal mode and hard mode are exactly the same for you except in hard mode runner deal damage to you as they die or eat wrong bait if you're on top/one tile from them. Other than that defender is exactly the same. Wrong bait will NOT kill a defender in HM, only cause a AoE attack.

If you play defender correctly you WILL be the first to be finished. After which you should man the cannon. Defender is the second easiest role (collected being the easiest) if you learn it. Note that as you level up the range of your bait increases (there is debate over this but i believe it does - any official jaggy word on this?) - defender sucks at low levels. It sucks hard, and often you'll feel your bait is being ignored. It gets much, MUCH better, though. At level 5 you will feel like a god.

To play defender, follow this flowchart:

Round start

||
\/

Get items from vending machine
Run up on the left side of the canon while constantly dropping THE WRONG BAIT. Wrong bait, when eaten by a runner, causes it to run back up north. After this step the map will look like this.



(note: when the bait type changes, the bait will remain in the state it was dropped. If the correct bait is crackers and you drop worms, then the correct bait becomes worms, the worms you dropped before still act like the wrong bait. Same is true for correct bait.)

||
\/

pick up the logs unless its a early round. the trap can only spring 2 times before needing repairs, 1 log = 1 fix. The traps can kill multiple runners if they are stacked, surrounding the trap. Run back tot he trap while dropping the CORRECT BAIT. Your map should now look like this.



If you have done this right you will have done all of this before the first bait switch.

||
\/

After this set the wrong bait after the trap for any that happen to get by somehow/while you're repairing the trap. For the rest of the game you are just going to maintain the lines you have already set and repair your trap when needed. Your map will look like this;



The occasional runner might get by. This is rare ; when that happens, wrong bait is the best way to get it back up north since it causes it to retreat so much.

As of right now it's $7.95 a month. If you're ever interested in subscribing it'd be best to do it sooner rather than later, because you'll continue paying $7.95 after the price hike as long as you subscribe before it and keep it unbroken for no more than 14 days. We don't know what the new price will be, but the FAQ says that "it will remain competitive when compared to other MMOs." I can only take this to mean it will be somewhere in the realm of $12-15 a month.

Bonds are items purchased from other players who've bought them with real money, and can be redeemed for two weeks of membership (among other things that aren't really worth the price of admission). These currently cost ~8 million coins and the price constantly fluctuates, which means you can only reliably use them as a source of membership if you can make that much every two weeks.

If they hike it up to $15 a month, I cant see anyone picking up RS over WoW.

Ah, but they will stack. Any membership you buy will stay on your account even if you have the premier club. So you can get premier club in december, buy cards in january and they'll added on top of your current membership (the premier club).

true i want to get in a habit of just buying premier each year for the bonuses.

plus, im pretty sure the price hike will be small (like, a buck a month) because anything else would = ded game

Hey there,

We are contacting you to let you know that we will be refunding a recent payment made for keys. Due to an unusual one off error, our billing system mistakenly treated a payment you made on 6th November as a recurring payment. The error has been fixed.

This was caught quickly and the payment will be refunded in full over the next few days (some banks can take 5-10 days to refund payments). Please accept our sincere apologies for this, and as a gesture of goodwill, you can keep the keys which were added to your account.

drat, they actually handled that better than I expected. I figured they'd grab the keys back, kinda cool that they legitimately just gave out probably upwards of a thousand bucks of keys as recompense.

Another thing to note is that it was a glitch with recurring payments. So, all those people saying keys ruined the game and complaining that they got given them are full of poo poo because they basically got what they bought already another time.

HOW TO SOLO BANDOS: a guide for shitters

Graardor is a big loving pissbaby and is by far the easiest gwd boss. This is why bandos armour is cheap. If you can learn to comfortably solo bandos you will soon move up to kril and armadyl who are much more profitable but are less afk.

Why would I want to solo bandos?
It's good XP, GP (if you get lucky) and a nice source of special drops like effegies.

How long can you last with this guide?
I've done 2 hour runs before. I expect I personally could last for 3 hours though.

What levels do I need?
I'm just gonna state what I use.

96 herblore for overloads (remember that you can use banner/etc to boost to 96)
95 prayer for turmoil/torment. This will significantly boost your damage output and thus your heal rate via SS
96 summoning for pack-yak. This is NOT a hard requirement but will make your runs last longer.
80 attack/str/magic for chaotic weaponry
85 defense for port armours

What loadouts do you use?
Melee:

-Full Tetsu
-Leviathan ring
-Drygore mace and chaotic claw (onhand chaotics will fare OK too)
-TokHaar-Kal-Ket
-Bandos warpirest boots/gloves - protection from bandos followers
-Zammy arrow - protection from zamorak followers
-Sign of Life - in case of DC. use a scimshaw if you got though.
-Dragonrider ammy
-Vamp aura

Mage:


-Full Seasinger
-Leviathan ring
-Chaotic staff
-TokHaar-Kal-Mej
-Bandos warpirest boots/gloves - protection from bandos followers
-Zammy arrow - protection from zamorak followers
-Sign of Life - in case of DC. use a scimshaw if you got though.
-Dragonrider ammy
-Vamp aura

(note that in the bandos camp there are only bandos/zammy followers. dont waste your pocket slot on your zaros shard)

Inventory set up (for 2 hours, adjust accordingly)

Holy Overloads - If you have elf city, buy this recipie you dont need to dung for it. 4dose ovl + 4dose renewal = 6 dose holy ovl and you get affect of both. 2 free doses! separate ovls/renewals are also ok
Super restores - Resotre prayer and summoning points. You wont need this much I just bring a shitton. I'd probably flask up if i was gonna be there for 3+ hours though
Sharks - Dont waste rocktails on this babby boss. you wont use much anyway
God wars tab - To get there. Buy off of GE
Yak pouches - To renew yak. Bring 1 for each hour.
Yak scrolls - Insta banking loot. Bring like 200~ preferably.
Other aura - I usually do vamp and then penance. Switch out when depleted.
Empty space - For loot
EDIT: if you're a mage bring runes too ofcourse, just use air surge.

My yak is full of sharks as a just in case measure. Again, i usually only dip in to like... 5 of my yaks sharks in 2 hours.

Ok im geared up, now what?
teleport to gwd => run to bandos camp => kill 40 nerds => go in to boss lobby => pay for a instance => set respawn rate to fast

Activate aura, drink pot, activate prayers. I use soul split. Go to this corner in the boss room



This will make the mage (and sometimes range) minion not aggro you at all/until late in to the kill. this means less tanking and less food wasted. it also puts you near the altar for free prayer points.

Bandos has no quirks. His special attack is a weaksauce ranged smack thing that you'll give negative shits about. Just do the following...

If melee: use slaughter ASAP and run thru graardor forcing him to move. This can cause massive bleeds that'll kill him extremely quickly. Spam other thresholds after.

If mage: just sunshine then spam thresholds

For both: Adrenaline stall between kills with Freedom and Devotion if you need to

Don't even bother turning prayers on/off between kills. All you gotta do for like an hour or two is press threshold keys, drink potions, and pick up drops and bank them with yak. I do personally bank the ogre bones because its garunteed income. If you dont care about the ogre bones, switch amulet to demon-horn necklace and bring a bonecrusher to negate the need for prayer pots entirely while under penance, and mostly but not entirely while on vamp.

There that's how you do graar

This weekend is 2x BXP at barbarian assault. On hardmode you can expect to get over a million agility bxp and 2million+ mining/firemaking bxp per hour if you're good, and easily 3/4ths these rates if you're poo poo. This will make lovely skills like agility slightly less poo poo.

To access hardmode you MUST defeat the queen on normal mode. I am fine with doing normal mode runs with goons to give them access to HM for the weekend as long as I am healer because i wanna level it up. Yell at me in game (pizza pirate) tonight and tomorrow.
