It still works. If you have auto-retaliate on and the monster attacks you before you are stopped on the safe spot he will draw you just beyond it.

I just tried turning auto-retaliate off and it was very easy to get back to the safe spot. Otherwise once you get used to it, you can attack the monster and very quickly click the correct spot and have no issues.

Was trying to mage, the safespot on wiki involves going up the stairs but i can't seem to do it right.


You need to be south of the midline on the 'landing' between the two sets of steps.
The dino should be at the very foot of the steps to stop you being dragged towards it while maging. (Definitely possible - I maged from here until I got a ripper dino egg).

you can stand there for bow but I think nox staff only has 8 square range, so it needs an extra space, which means you want to go 1 square past that one to use the first ability after tagging, since you'll run forward 2 squares and still be in the safespot. If you use it from there (with anything under 9 squares of range) you run forward 2 squares and end up in the dangerous area.

Nah. I use Nox staff from there with no problem :)

(Roleplay alert: my character absolutely does not use bows, so I have no choice about maging!)

How did you get 35M range XP then without using bows? Did you throw knives, or is that also a no no for your character? Did you mass buy keys and train it that way? I can't even think of any other ways of training range lol.


Also - genuinely curious, why don't you use bows? O_o Must have it difficult for certain things...

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

He did use bows up to Level 50, but then he had a REVELATION - something about an elf in Lletya telling him how rangers just hid behind mushrooms made him realise how wimpy and girly that option was.

He does very occasionally need a bow for certain quest tasks, but generally he avoids them. It does make things more difficult, yes, particularly for certain slayer tasks!

He has also been known to use a cannon in the distant past (because obviously that's machinery, and therefore macho and not girly at all), and even throwing axes at the Circus. Otherwise it's melee and mage all the way!

More seriously.... mainly the XP has been from freebies - penguin points, monthly troll invasion, rewards for doing slayer tasks in Slayer Tower, and suchlike. Yes, I have also used lamps from Treasure Hunter for Ranging XP, but no, I have never bought keys just to get free XP. It's taken a long, long time to get the XP to where it is now... ;)
