Today's update -- Bakriminel Bolts

[Dr Brad]

In today's update, it states:

...With a ranged strength of 125, these bolts pack a punch in PvE, but it's in PvP against mages that their insidious power comes to the fore...

PvE...PvE....PvE?

I Googled this and got "Player versus Environment". (I see it discussed in the context of WoW.) Is that correct? How does it differ from PvM?

[Joedakiller]

Maybe it means Player vs Everything.

[dev]

Are the bolts tradeable? I would make some if I could sell them, but otherwise I don't have too much use for them.

[Dr Brad]

Yes, the finished bolts are tradeable.

[Moonballz]

Yeah I've always thought it means player vs everything.

PvE = Player vs Environment

You are correct, id say PvE is a more common convention used in most MMORPG's for what we call PvM. Although Although if you really want to overanalyse the game I would suppose PvE would be much more broad and encompass anything that is included in the environment, while PvM only includes monsters.

Although when I hear PvM I only think of boss monsters, so I do not think it includes slayer monsters. Unless I am mistaken there. Just the vibe I get when I hear the name used in context. But for the most part to make this more simple you can just assume that PvP = players vs players and PvE/PvM = Players vs (Everything other than players).

Hope that helps and doesn't sound like I play runescape religiously lol. I only do that on Sundays to appease our lord Zamorak...

I only went to two of the trees in darkmeyer and soul wars, made 100 bolts and sold them for 10x what the ge value was worth. Legit.

I visited all 6 trees:

20 fletched @ Soul Wars
90 @ Ritual plateau
10 @ Darkmeyer
10 @ south of Pirate Hideout – 2 attempts to PK me (hopped worlds)
10 @ demonic ruins – 1 attempt to PK me (hopped worlds)
20 @ chaotic altar - 1 attempt to PK me (hopped worlds)
TOTAL FLETCHED = 160

Now that I know the locations, for the two lower wildy ones, I will go there via F2P worlds and then hop to P2P world (Quickchat only W96)

[Starwolf]

we should have this as a little event for those who can cut and fletch these bolts. safety in numbers as they say.

[Dr Brad]

Good idea!
