Disclaimer: Pay little mind to the topic description. Also, shunned or exiled does not necessarily mean "banned", pending Administration approval.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen! The December holiday is almost upon us, and as always we must raise RuneScape funds to power our merry adventures this year. But, how would this most awesome fansite celebrate the holidays?

Naturally, a drop party. What, do you think I'm stupid?

However, we have run out of GP in our beautiful coffers. Thanks a lot, Tangerz. This leaves us with no other recourse but to conduct a major gathering to a Boss NPC and raise funds.

Personally I hate to step on people's toes, you know...berating them repeatedly to "give for their community"...like I'm some sort of missionary...

SO! With all that rambling out of the way, I leave you this poll.

Which boss are we going to go to?

The choices are as follows:

• King Black Dragon
• Kalphite Queen
• King Dagannoth (Rex, Prime and Supreme)
• Giant Mole
• Chaos Elemental

There are pros and cons for each, which are as follows:

• King Black Dragon -
  • Pro: The weakest out of the boss monsters
  • Con: Menial drops
• Kalphite Queen -
  • Pro: A very quick payout (dragon chain)
  • Con: The strongest of the boss monsters
• King Dagannoth (Rex, Prime and Supreme) -
  • Pro: Very good and plentiful drops which aren't so rare
  • Con: Difficult for lower levels to both access and face the challenges of Waterbirth, let alone the actual Kings
• Giant Mole -
  • Pro: Parts may be exchanged for valuable seeds and nests which can be crushed
  • Con: One of the toughest to kill due to its constant digging
• Chaos Elemental -
  • Pro: Can drop two items at a time; may indeed drop the Dragon 2h twice in one fall
  • Con: Extremely high level wilderness makes it *very* dangerous to approach, let alone safely bank its sole valuable item

Instead of letting whoever got the kill keep the drop, we request that you donate it to RuneWeb's cause, or we cannot host a drop party for everyone. Those that are found hoarding the drop from whatever boss we travel to may risk be exiled/shunned from the community!

Date decided! I'll post it later though. This topic will expire on the 1st of December at 12:00AM MST (-7 GMT) time.

Cheers!

The best boss would either be Kaphite Queen or Dagannoth Kings.

Kaphite Queen will have a higher capital cost, since some would choose to use Veracs. If you're talking about killing the Kaphite Queen in a limited amount of time, then I'd skip it, since the chances aren't too big. If you're going to try for a Dragon Chain up till December, then it would be easier since you'll only need a professional team of Veracs and a dose of patience.

I don't think adding the community into the formula would be useful. Using Veracs is probably more efficient than using the conventional ways.

Dagannoth Kings can be done with the usual equipment. You will need a good guide and leader though. Once you've got everything set up, the massacre can start. You'll have a better chance of drops in the short-term and long-term.

If there are enough people, it is possible to do both Kaphite Queen and Dagannoth Kings. A small group of people could be dedicated to Kaphite Queen whilst the rest will nail on Dagannoth Kings. If one group fails to get a drop, another might.

The important factor here is the time. If both groups can be killing regularly, then you will get something. I'd suggest having half of the drop going to the treasury and the other half being evenly split among the members. That way, people would be somewhat motivated and they can keep future trips going.

KQ or King daggs. I voted for kings, 2 reasons:
1- I killed 100+ KQ and got just 1 chain, i think its too rare.
2- With a good team we can kill 10+ kings per trip.

I vote Giant Mole, simply because I have no idea what it is. Seems OK though.

I always use wealth in KQ trips. I did about 120 KQ trips. No dragon stuff at all.

Im going to disagree with your con on the mole, I solo it all the time and I kill it usualy before 2-3 digs, if we had a team of 4-5 people we could most likly get it in 1 dig. And if we did mole(not likely) if you have a cannon bring it, it makes it much faster because the mole it weak to range.


I vote KQ because I have never been and I would like to go

I personally like Mysticallity's idea of attacking two boss monsters. The only drawback I can see is that there's not a lot of people here that can do either KQ OR the KD themselves. I could only do one or the other...

Depending on the number of people we have that are actually willing to participate fairly, it's possible. I'll definitely keep that in mind.
