Other notable things: When prepping an inventory in 2004, there also wasn't a one click teleport (to my knowledge). Players had to carry runes for a teleport or utilize a ring of life (risky). Amulet of glories existed but did not have the rub/teleport option from within the equipment tab. I have vague memories of even having to take the glory off in order to "rub" it, but I could be mistaken. The dragon chainbody dropped a bit day after day after news dropped that the dragon platebody would be released (2008). The chainbody rebounded in price though shortly after.

I remember forum discussions about strategies back in about 05/06. I’ve recently been soloing KQ and even in A tier gear she still shreds, lots of respect for that and for Jagex not retuning or nerfing her.
@Demonslay3357 күн бұрын
I'd normally agree, but the fact they buffed her because they originally wanted her to NOT be solo-able is the opposite of today. With the head being a darn diary requirement, it's entirely intended to be solo now. If they'd just undo that buff of adding the range attack too or something, I'd be happy. This is a miserable boss to grind even in Leagues.

This was an epic boss fight back in the day with a potential d chain drop of about 20-30mill. I wish the d chain was still worth even 10% of that. I never fought her myself until earlier this year because i have like 5 slayer helms unlocked but my personal favorite is the kalphite one which i have unlocked but havent got the head drop yet. The pet is also one of the coolest in the game imo.

@baldrian225 күн бұрын
kq is only killed on rs3 for the boss collection items on rs3. it also is a lot more fun to kill it these days with necromancy since you dont even need to consider doing a gear switch for accuracy. there is also a couple of acchivement linked to it. it is basicly never killed for slayer xp specificily but players might kill it on slayer tasks for the extra damage and accuracy but longest part of the kill is basicly the transformation part between phase 1 and 2 of the fight. if want slayer xp on a kalphite task and killing a boss at the same time the kalphite king is by far the better choice despite it having a couple of anoying mecanics, mainly green phase that is a insta kill mecanic if messed up. regardless, that boss have some drops that is in the 15-20 mill range and relatively common and you probably see one every 1-2 hour

To get that high with only 1500kc is proof of how awful it is. But the pet is freakin' sick it was worth it. Going to do it again on Leagues next month. Lmao
