Hmm still a little glitchy but it's nothing major.

By the way, you can kill ducks when that happens :wink:

This is the imagination I was talking about earlier. I love this update! Now I don't have to waste teleporting runes whenever I need to go to Lumbridge.

I just think they should make some more non-member updates not just members because when your not a member it sucks.

by far, the best update in a couple of months. You guys think i can fight the mole alone? look at stats below

Itested the canoes. they seem kinda good for minor traveling, though i wish you could use them anywhere(oceans, etc)

i dont like the new 0's...

the new 0s are good, stops all those annoying pure names

The Zygomites were a disappointment. You need to buy and expend an item to kill them and they hardly ever drop anything good.

If Jagex updated F2P then what's the point of being a P2P ?

Okay, so, the new canoes seem pretty cool. It actually comes in handy. I used it a few times so far.

The new Slayer monster isn't exactly all that great. I've been there, not so great experience nor do you get any great drops. Waste of time.

The new mole I haven't fought yet though. I'll look more of that into the future. It's kind of a cheap impression of the Kalphite Queen from what I've seen so far, but right now I'm pretty interested in it.

And the new 0s, hehe, say good-bye to pure staking.

Overall, this was a good update.

mole - other than it randomly burrowing to get away it's an easy monster to kill for body parts to trade for bird nests. tho it tends to run away far to often and at the worst times meaning even if u do the most damage u can still lose sight of where it ran off to drop the loot at.

the new slayer monster is nifty but the slayer items to kill it take up to much bag space.

canoes coulda been more varied in locations and waterways than they are but maybe a future update for them eventually.

Really angers me. I thought the canoes would be f2p for sure. I mean they are used in the f2p world with an f2p skill for goodness sake! You know eventually runescape will have to start updating the f2p. Because the p2p and f2p will become so far apart that new people will feel they'd have to spend a fortune to get anywhere in the game. (in history we call this relative deprication...usually leads to rebellion). Oh well, it isn't my loss of customers.

Nope. Its lvl 230 and it moves around too much. You would have a hard time getting a fair amount of damage on it before it burrows and moves somewhere else. Then looking for it would be hard, it would probably heal back before you find it.

But they would lose their free to play, which aren't customers....

I actually found the mole quite fun, but I gave up on it because all the people that are down there steal your kills.

But if you guys are willing to try your hand at it, follow which way it digs to make it go faster.

And the best I got out of it was a Rune 2 Hander also.

i think the canoes should be harder to make but the mle looks quite good.

robert91488 · **Posted:** March 10th, 2006, 8:19 pm

At first I found the canoes pretty much useless, but now I've found them kind of helpful if used with spirit trees and gnome gliders.
