ok time for some explaining:

On 11 April 2009, the glitch was discovered. It involved PvP worlds and beast of burden familiars.

* A member would summon a familiar with beast of burden capabilities and fill it with anything valuable, such as noted unstrung bows, poisoned arrows/poisoned bolts, stacks of coins, and anything that can be stacked.
* They would log out of a members world, and go to a non-member PvP world where summoning familiars are not allowed. Each time they die, it would count as them losing how much wealth was carried in the familiar despite the familiar no longer being summoned. This would gain millions worth of drop potential.
* The player who has gained millions worth of drop potential would go to a members PvP world and perform the PvP trick, also known as the 25k trick or now the 75k trick. Due to the game thinking that they lost millions and millions worth of items, most of the time the loot would contain well over 2-3 million coins worth of items, and other times well over 20 million coins worth of items. Items that were easily gained through this method are: Amulet of furys, Dragonfire shields, Dragon halberds, Ancient Warriors' Equipment, Corrupt Ancient Warriors' Equipment, Abyssal Whips.

And THAT is hardcore evidence death potential is real!

Maybe, idk though. Sounds a lil fishy. Jagex disaproves of 75king though, so it's not meant to be

ha. that kinda answers itself. Dp doesnt give 76k'ers much of an advantage because all they do is get earned potential and then go out and 76k. Meaning a 76ker is making 76k worth of death potential each time he/she dies. If a fresh pker did this with no dp than he would only be getting around 76k-200k (more like the 76k but i give a high range just cause josec says his 76k's have been around 200k)

But the thing is if someone really gets into pking the normal way. There is no doubt they will die a few times. So death potential will keep refreshed with more and more money untill you get a dry streak of killing alot in between deaths. Purrrrrrfectly fine with jagex

anything else smell fishy? Think my kitty is getting hungry for fish

I think its up to the person on how they're death potential is calculated. And if you think that you're going to get killed in pvp. Just run away. If there was a death potential Then there would be alot less bounty hunting going on.

Cheers, dafin0 :lol:

thing is dafin0.. most people dont know about death potential. every time ive gotten a targ that doesnt want to fight i explain they gain "dp" back. And i explain what it is and then like 75% of them usually agree to a fight. other 25% just are too poor to get equiptment and i call them a newb for being in a bh world without having enough money to pk lol

Ya, I remember that. Someone brought it up on Runewire, or was in it, but not that sure. However they could have gotten rid of it after that glitch as so many people made so much money from it.

Don't despair if you are dying a lot and losing a lot of items. The game will detect this and improve your chance of getting decent rewards when you do eventually get a good kill.

Yes it's real.
