Corporeal Beast (duo) – Slightly odd method

For long I’ve wanted to defeat the Corporeal Beast. And after countless Solo attempts I decided to accept the help of a friend (I Kingace I) collectively with our stats (Matlocked) we’ve adopted a method which seems to work pretty well, it allows us to keep the whole process reasonably cheap without the expense of Saradomin Brews.

The Method:

Firstly the two of us setup our inventories and armour slots to look like this..

From there we teleport using our Games Necklace, to the Corporeal beast. We then run through the open caves until we reach the door of the beast. From here we both pot up and lure the beast closer to where we’re standing.

Now, the person who didn’t lure the beast enters the room and sets up the required prayers. The beast won’t attack this person as it is only aggressive to the lurer at this point, when the beast is finally attacked by the non-lurer the fight will begin. (screenshot below showing the beast un-aggressive)

(Note: if all fighters leave the room of the Corporeal beast, it’s life points will be fully restored meaning one of us must remain in the boss room at all times.)

When the first fighter is running low on supplies the original lurer enters and begins to help, the person who is low on supplies, then teleports out to get another inventory of food while the other stays to fight, before quickly teleporting back. Having re-entered the boss room the roles are then reversed, each teleporting alternatively to restock ensuring the beast is never left alone, this is continued untill the beast is dead.

This method really does make the Corporeal beast look easy, it takes just a few minutes to kill and could be so profitable especially with the low costing supplies we use. Ryan and I shall continue to do this untill we recieve something amazing!

Hope you guys enjoyed this!

Skype

I’m not sure how you guys communicate with your friends while on RuneScape, whether you just talk in-game of whether you decide to use something like Teamspeak, Mumble, MSN, or Skype. For years now Skype has been my best friend whilst on RuneScape, giving me the ability to communicate with friends making bossing, slayer, boring skilling and mini-games more fun.

If you are have yet to explore verbal communications with RuneScape I’d strongly recommend Skype, with its fantastic call quality and easy functionality its my number one choise.

If you use another communication source that I’ve not mentioned I’d be very interested to know what it is!

Account Types

Struggling to decide what type of account to make? Hopefully this guide will spark a few ideas off for you.

There are many different account types in Runescape. These account types are suggested by Runescape with  updates and quests this gives people the incentive to get certain items at the lowest level possible therefore being a low-level yet super effective against other average players with the same combat level either in the wilderness or skilling around Runescape.

Throughout my years of playing I’ve tried many account types and have experienced the advantages and disadvantages. Here’s a few examples of account types (note: there’s a lot more than shown):

• Typical Main account where all statistics are trained to gain the highest total level

• Level 3 skiller account, no-combat statistics are trained purely skill orientated

• 1 Defence pure, combat account generally a player-killer but remains 1 defence

• 20 defence pure, combat orientated 20 defence with 52 prayer for smite

• Rune pure, generally F2p with 40 defence and high strength

• Void/ Berserker pure, combat account with 42-48 defence turmoil prayers and created correctly all defence levels can be gained from quests eg; Dragon slayer, Defender of Varrock etc.

• Barrows pure, 70-75 defence. Combat orientated ability to wield most armours a higher level account close to that of a main

• Range/ Mage tank, range and magic based account with attack and strength generally kept between 70-75. Account is very effective and high a contender against mains

• Unique accounts, accounts where they’re trained to look great! accounts such as 10hp pures or 99 hitpoints pures here’s an example of this type of account, this account is level 40-50

Like I said these are only a few examples there are plenty more account types you could try, these are just a few ideas for you to work off, hope this helped you guys!

Botters Mate Like Rabbits

Botters are literally taking over, everywhere you go 90% of the time you’ll stumble upon a botter. It seems today there’s almost a bot for everything! But what seems to be one of the most common ones to me personally is the “Turoth Slayer” bot, take a look at this picture..

This picture was taken by my friend I Kingace I

As you can see, things have got a bit out of hand.. I can only presume the bots are here to make money. As Turoths drop good amounts of herbs making them a good source of cash. These bots in my opinion are the result of RWT (real-world-trading) I’d imagine these are the bots of RS gold websites of which they use to make the money which they sell on.

Surely this problem can be sorted? I don’t think botting could get anymore obvious then this…

If you know any other areas where botting is a big problem I’d be grateful if you posted below!

Hope you enjoyed,

June 2011 Update

This official news post is copyrighted by Jagex. It is a direct quote from the RuneScape website.
This update was added on 1 June 2011.

Read my review to this update here: My Review June 2011

Eager to try out a new item slot? Forget rings, quivers or shoe slots: if you’re fashionable you’ll want an aura slot! Before the release of these buffing items, there’ll be two other updates in which you’ll have to overcome some imposing obstacles: a sea monster in our newest master quest, and a troll invasion in a new distraction and diversion.

Deadliest Catch (members)

This month’s master quest will ring bells for anyone interested in the guaranteed content polls. As named by you, the sea monster Thalassus has been terrorising the cold and inhospitable oceans to the north. No one has survived to sketch a picture of this hulking beast, but the inns are full of rumours: Thalassus is the size of the Wizards’ Tower, they say; sailors are eaten and digested while still alive in its belly.

Fisherman Jones wants to end the scare stories by landing the beast (gaining a little glory in the process). To join him, you’ll need a Fishing level of 70, a Hunter level of 67 and a Thieving level of 60, and there’s wieldable fishing nets on offer, and a range of bank deposit boxes to unlock if you do. The quest also offers you the opportunity to embark ten more times for additional Hunter XP, should you prove to be an enviable harpooner.

Troll Invasion (members)

Forget forum trolls: if you want a real nuisance, you can’t beat the real thing! Trolls are swarming down the hills of Burthorpe and are threatening to lay waste to any imperial guard that gets in their way. Who can stop them? Well, you, of course, but in two very different ways. This month’s single-player distraction and diversion allows you to choose between taking the trolls on in straight combat, or tending the defences that hold them back. Better still, there are no requirements to do so.

Take to the battlefield and you will face 20 waves of increasingly belligerent trolls, from the common mountain troll to the summoning troll, dynamite troll and Cliff, who – you’ve probably guessed – ate an entire cliff face for his first meal. If that proves too easy, there’s a more intense 7 wave version to conquer, which has an increased difficulty level.

For the skill-focussed among you, there is the option of keeping the gatehouse maintained instead. Tend to the ballista, top up the oil vats and repair broken barricades to keep the trolls from being successful. Your actions will increase the morale of the troops, who will fight back with increased vigour. Hold out for 10 minutes (the time it takes for a troll to get hungry for Burntmeat’s cooking) and the victory is yours. You will gain an XP tome for your first defence each month, and smaller XP rewards for any defence you complete after that.

Loyalty Rewards (members)

Last but not least, this month sees a huge selection of exciting rewards that you’ll be able to access through the Members Loyalty Program. Earn Loyalty Points to unlock a fantastic range of items, from custom titles to unique emotes, exclusive new costumes and amazing auras in a new player worn slot.

Don’t forget to register within the first two weeks of launch to take advantage of our introductory offers on the fantastic selection of rewards!

Have fun!

Fight Caves Guide

Firecapes. Everyone wants one, let’s be honest. But.. If your one of the many people who aren’t to sure about facing Jad and his disciples then fear no more! This guide will hopefully help, although this guide is for higher level players the strategy is the still same. Hope this helps enjoy my screen shots, :).

First of all, the setup. This is typically an extremely experienced players setup, who has access to soul split and extreme potions. (screen shot above of my stats) Although all of this can be replaced with normal prayers and normal potions.

Setup:

Helmet – Pernix Cowl > Veracs Helm > Helm of Neitiznot

Platebody – Pernix Leather Top > Karils Leathertop > Black d’hide body

Platelegs – Pernix Leather Chaps > Karils Leatherskirt > Veracs Plateskirt > Black d’hide chaps

Gloves – Barrows Gloves > Mercenary’s Gloves > Vambraces

Boots – Ranger Boots > Dragon Boots > Snakeskin Boots

Ring – Archer’s Ring > Berserker Ring (Claw Method)

Shield – Spirit Shields > Dragonfire Shield > Zamorak Book

Weapon – Chaotic Crossbow > Rune Crossbow > Elf Crystal Bow > Karils Crossbow

Ammunition – Broad Bolts/ D Bolts > Broad Bolts/ Diamond Bolts

Obviously I’ve not covered all the possible armour setups these are just the few I’d use.

Inventory:

1 Overload > E/ Ranging Potion > E/ Strength Potion (claw method)

1 Extreme Range > Ranging Potion

6 Saradomin Brews

4 Super Prayer Potions > 4 Prayer Potions

14 Super Restore Potions

25 Dragon bolts (e)

1 Dragon Claws (claw method)

Information/ strategy:

The caves can take anywhere from forty minutes, to two and a half hours of continuous playing and a considerable number of potions depending on levels, supplies, and method. At 70-80 range, it can take from 90-120 minutes to complete; at 90+ Ranged it can take as little as just over an hour to get to TzTok-Jad; at 99 attack and strength, with the use of Overloads, turmoil and chaotic weaponry meleeing the entire way, it can take 35-50 minutes to complete. Logging out between waves can be done, but is risky. A good internet connection is also very helpful, as lag in the Fight Cave at the wrong moment can be deadly. Playing on a low-populated world decreases the chance of lag.

In the fight caves you’ll have to contend against monsters ranging from level 22-702 a copy of the monster list and waves can be found here: Fight Caves.

The strategy that works best is to locate yourself around “Italy Rock” at the end of every round and lure the monsters to you, here is Italy Rock…

As you can see by the picture I’m stock on the boot side of Italy Rock with the monsters stuck around the other side this allows me to relax and attack them in my own time. This positioning also applies for Jad (Level 702) but you can sometimes be unlucky with where he spawns.

If you’re using the dragon claw method this will be extremely useful for you, as when your protecting from magic on waves 30+ ( Level 360 Magics ) you’re going to want to take out the level 90 rangers as soon as possible here’s a picture of what to do with your claws 🙂

This method will cut your time down considerably and also you won’t lose as many life points.

So after using my strategy for almost 63 rounds your eventually going to get to Jad, on wave 62 you want to be hidden in the corner of Italy rock waiting for Jad to appear have either protect from magic or range on in case of bad spawn also be sure to be brewed and range/ strength potted before hand!

Jad:

Jad uses the combat triangle (he uses three attack styles) you can easily avoid the combat attacks simply by standing away from him.

Magic: TzTok-Jad lowers his head while a ball of fire is created above his head – the player must turn on their prayer now. Then, the spell will be fired at the player. Once the ball is in the air, it’s too late. If you weren’t praying magic, you will be hit. The recommendation is to pray ranged defense, as this is his most common attack when he spawns, and to have auto-retaliate activated so that you can find him quickly to watch for his next attack.

Ranged: TzTok-Jad slams down his front legs onto the ground, and large cracks will appear in the floor at his feet – the player must turn on their prayer now. Though, by the time you hear the sound, it’s already too late. If you weren’t praying ranged, again you will be hit. (Which is why you need to pray ranged at the start) Next, a boulder will fall down on the player, which cannot be avoided by moving.

After doing your prayer switching and fireing your bolts for almost half Jads life points you’ll be introduced to a set of healers which will then restore Jads life points. To stop this process simply attack each of the healers to make them aggressive towards you, then, carry on with Jad. At this point if you’re using the Dragon Claw method you’ll want to special attack Jad here, then move away after each special attack.

Finally after a long day in the fight caves you’ll come away with your Firecape, 16k Tokkul and possibly an amusing image such as this one.. (shoulder ride anyone?)

I hope this guide has helped you in your search for a Firecape, if you have any questions or anything you’d like me to cover then please leave a comment.

This guide was requested to me by “Im_The_Torch”, I hope this helped you especially.
