Staff of Light:

+55 stab
+70 slash
+17 mage

+3 slash def.
+2 crush def.
+17 magic def.

+72 strength


Zuriel's Staff:

+13 stab
-1 slash
+65 crush
+18 mage

+5 stab def.
+7 slash def.
+4 crush def.
+18 magic def.

+72 strength

All values not listed above are 0.


Other:
Staff of light has a +15% damage bonus while using the staff, while Zuriel's staff has a 10% boost.

However, Zuriel's staff can cast the more powerful miasmic spells.
Max hits:
34.5 Staff of light (ice barrage)
35.2 Zuriel's staff (miasmic barrage)

The staff of light has a special attack that reduces all melee damage taken for 1 minute to half. However, miasmic barrage reduces melee and ranged attack speed for all targets for 48 seconds to half.

Finally, the staff of light has two other bonuses: the ability to cast slayer dart, and more importantly, it's 1/8 rune saving ability.


Final Verdict: It's really a close one, I'm unsure which one will take the position as the best magic staff in the game. I'll leave it up to you guys to decide it for yourselves.]]> Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:29:07 +0000 http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1348950-staff-of-light-vs-zuriels-staff-a-full-review/ http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1348928-full-slayer-helm/ The jungle and desert strykewyrms, respectively, drop the hexcrest and the focus sight, which give combat and Slayer bonuses for Magic and Ranged (much like the black mask already does for melee). Indeed, anyone with a slayer helmet, focus sight and hexcrest can combine them all into a full slayer helmet, which incorporates all of these items’ bonuses into one slayertastic piece of headgear.

Discuss! If anyone has a nice close up pictures aswell, Please post!

Does RuneScape? Anybody can obtain any item by themselves, which is friendly to those who don't want to be constantly criticized for one small mistake. Anyway, should there be an additional component to RuneScape which encourages gameplay post-level 126+ or is it fine the way it is?]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:40:28 +0000 http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1348701-level-cap/ http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1348472-all-nighters-and-long-streaks-of-gamplay/ This belongs in general discussion as it discusses a certain playing style and approach towards runescape. It is similar to "addiction to runescape" threads which appropriately find their home here.

Greetings All,

I just realised that of the last 18 hours I spent awake, I spent at least 16 or 17 playing RuneScape, alongside other activities. I know of guys who have pulled 24+ hour scaping streaks. I used to think 8 hours was a damn long time to be playing runescape more or less continuously. This has been the 2nd time in 3 weeks that I've done this, and I'm shocked at the fact that it totally sucked last time, so it's perplexing that I should do it again. Moreover, I'm shocked by that I actually have done this twice - or a few more times, can't quite remember.

Still - all-nighters. Personally, I hate them, and try to avoid them as much as I can, but somehow, sometimes, by means of weak discipline, I end up pulling one. The same, I suppose, applies for long streaks of gameplay. Trouble is, once I'm up past 4 AM, I can't go to sleep, because I know if I do, I'll wake up at 6 PM that day, feeling completely like crap.

So, what do you define as a long streak of gameplay, what do you think of long streaks, and what do you think of all nighters? Do you ever participate in either? Curious to hear your thoughts and anecdotes.

Cheers from a very exhausted Qu4ck who wants to go to bed :|

Take me for example.
Im 15, plenty of friends, doing well in school and I play runescape.
I dont have a girlfriend (As of last weekend )
Since everyone played it (Around the age of 11-13) at school I have been on and off it. Kind of in phases.

I dont tell ANYONE because of the potential embarrassment it would cause.

What about you?]]> Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:27:08 +0000 http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1348284-do-your-familyfriends-know-you-play-rs/ http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1348102-runescape-forever/
-During the Q/A with mark Gerhard, A player asked, "Do you see RuneScape being around 20 years from now? How about 50 years?"


-The answer? Well Mark replied back with "Yes, and “Oh, YES!”"
----------------------------------------

-My question for the people reading my topic is, Do you agree with Mark? Do you think Runescape will still be around 20-50 years from now?]]> Sat, 06 Feb 2010 06:40:02 +0000 http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1348102-runescape-forever/ http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1347248-merchant-clans/ There were like 15 different clans spamming their name. And of course making false promises. ("Join XXX for a daily 15M")
Many people think they can make some money with these "clans" but the real profit goes to the owner of the CC, who of course bought this item long before he released the item to the public. I think that it has to stop. What if some day about 50% of the items cant be bought in the GE because of all those new merchanting clans? Jagex should do something about it NOW, and not only because of the fact that a vast amount of the items has become unbuyable, but also because they are all using bots to bring their message.

Post your oppinion about this problem. ]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:23:25 +0000 http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1347248-merchant-clans/ http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1346513-could-the-orb-be-the-first-scoutingspy-tool/
Jagex only meant this as a movie/screenshot tool, however I think its use in gameplay far exceeds what it was built for!]]> Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:24:39 +0000 http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1346513-could-the-orb-be-the-first-scoutingspy-tool/
