Staking.

ChristmasCracker · Jan 21, 2011

All you kids who started playing RS after FT/Duel was removed, all you kids who think you know how to stake, all you kids making new accounts to stake to get pro stats.

You're ALL going to get cleaned.
In order to be a "good" staker and get mad items/cash from it, would to have experienced it first hand.

There are "tricks," if you will, that give you a better advantage.
There are scams people will do to make a quick 500k.

"But I did lots of stakes after FT for fun"
Yea.. people played you for fun. They weren't risking shit. Why would they try hard? They aren't going to win anything...

There is much more at play, than just Runescape skills.
A level 99def/hp/mage against a level 1def,80def,92 magic.

Who will win? whoever has the most experience and knows what the hell they are doing.

I'm an oldschool player. I started RS when phats got released. On my old account I was an awesome staker. I would make hundreds of mils every hour. I'd do phat stakes.. cracker stakes..500m stakes.. etc. I know how to stake. And I bet half of you guys don't. But to the half that does, lets clean the ones who don't.

Point of this topic?
Shut the fuck up with the "what should I do with this account" "best staker stats?" "help me on my pure staker" "how should i gear in stakes" etc
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

I hate to rain on your parade but the majority of staking is luck based. Unless you're fighting in obstacles there isn't very much skill involved.

Ding ding ding. But you're a tad wrong.
Well... melee/range stake IS all luck.

However, mage is semi-luck and semi-skill. You need to do the right attacks in the right order and enough to make them work. (As ancient spells have different effects on other players when you cast on them)

Actually staking does take a bit of skill even with dds/ whip. First hit is really important especially when staking phat sets. I always get first hit.
