Sheep in the Big City
I don't mean to go off on a rant here -
Wait, yes I do, and specifically about these asshats who enjoy hassling me on my choice of mage training methods.
I'm using Slayer Dart, okay, because it's pretty cheap on runes (minds and deaths). The only problem I have with it is switching staves to cast high alch or tele grab (will be solved with carrying the appropriate runes instead of staves).
The asshats I snort over are the Call-Me-A-Noob-And-Run-Away types. They see what I'm doing, call me a noob and leave, either tele or run. Thank you so much for the childish name-calling. Excuse me while I finish killing this giant rock crab with my noobish Slayer Dart while you whack ineffectually with your uber rune scimmy.
The other asshat types are the ones who tell me I'm wasting money and that there are only 4 spells to train magic Don't you know those 4 spells, dearest reader? Well, fear not because I will "enlighten" you.
1. High alchemy on yew longbows
2. Crumble undead
3. Ice barrage at PC/CW/giant rock crabs/rock lobsters
4. Fire bolt at steel dragons
There you have them. Oh, and you can't use these spells anywhere but stated, regardless of your combat level, wealth and membership status. If you do, you are a/an [insert insult of choice here]. Reminds me of Jaxana's post about repeater experts. The relevant part is highlighted below:
"While pushing for 1800 I definately learned a lot. And, while it might sound odd, the people I have a lack of patience (tolerance?) for has changed. It doesn't bother me to be called a noob or bugged anymore. At least not in the stupid harassment that usually takes place. Nope, my new pet peeves are what I call the "repeater-experts". Example, ask the best way to level thieving and they answer Pyramid Plunder. Really? Cause I would say it has a lot to do with what your current level is and what your goals are. And whether you've done Contact. But it's pretty obvious who's been reading the guides and are just repeating what they read. And that annoys me. Usually I ignore it. But....man....I guess I just want people to go out and try stuff before telling people it's the best. And I really really get annoyed when someone makes fun of how someone chooses to train."
After being bored out of my gourd darting giant rock crabs, I head southish to dart caged greater demons. I'm happily maging away, tele grabbing charms, runes, the occasional rune full helm and/or clue scroll. I'm noting to take air runes instead of the air staff so I don't have to take time out to put the Dart back on auto cast. Soon, a ranger runs up to the cage and the hassling begins:
So, what *is* the cheap method of maging at greater demons? Fire bolt? I can't do that! That's only for steel dragons and I don't have my chaos gauntlets with me!
I certainly could've gotten into a deep discussion about how it's my money to waste, not his, but you can only rebut so much in a MMORPG. If Timothy Gold or Marlaine talked to me about leveling magic, I'd give them my ear with a smile. They know; they have the capes; they've been through this shit.I'm wondering if Imdakillar would consider 99 prayer a "waste of money"?
ION, Canadian servers are back. Jagex hasn't released a BTS:May and it's May already. My sound is gone from the computer. It suddenly went bye-bye this morning while I was maging crabs. Rebooting my computer didn't restore it. I know the culprit - Java's latest update - but don't know how to fix it. I knew I shouldn't have d/l it, but those 4 coffee cups in my desktop tray were seriously pissing me off.
