160k/xp afk mage? Are you guys serious...

The problem is that this xp rate is bogus. No one is getting 160k magic exp per hour. The exp rate posted by Jagex on page 1 refers to Magic and Hitpoints exp COMBINED. Even then, I question their definition of "AFK." I have gotten from lvl 72 to 92 magic at nmz and I can tell you that the "true afk" exp rate is closer to 87k xp/hr WITH A PARTNER.

At lvl 92 magic I get an average of 66k Magic exp and 21,450 Hp xp per hour of blood bursting in a two man team. (the xp rate is 20-30% lower in a solo game) Even at 99 Magic these rates aren't going to be much higher.

I agree that NMZ is op, but lets get our facts straight. There is a difference between "AFK" with prayer potions and smoke barrage, and "True AFK" with blood burst. People want to make the argument that NMZ should be nerfed because people are getting 160k magic xp per hour for 10 hours every night. Anyone who has actually DONE IT knows that's BS.

Um, I get around 150k Mage xp an hour. You aren't doing it right. You use smoke barrage(req 72 Magic+ with overloads), and a three-man team. You take turns every 20 minutes running 3 squares back and forth luring the monsters into one square, maximizing the experience.

It's ridiculous that the NMZ was implemented like this in the first place anyway. People making profit while getting 99 magic faster than anywhere else in the game. It's a part of developing updates to test if it doesn't gives too much rewards.

I'd love to know how an average of 160k in nmz magic is possible at the keyboard let alone afk, am I missing something?!

Also how the melee xp is so high as an average.

All seems fishy to me

Very easy. 160k isn't even the maximum. Three people, all using smoke barrage, they take turns every 20 minutes luring the monsters into one square.

I dont think theres a need to do anything other than nerf the points you receive

Lets face it people who play 07 dont have the same amount of time to grind for months just to max out and pk, this is a great minigame that allows us to gain easy xp. Nerf the points you receive or just take out pure ess in the rewards shop or whatever. Leave the xp as it is.

I kinda don't care anymore about NMZ, but they should defiantly disable the points system for nmz rumble mode, and let endurance users be able to earn points, and if you have a quest cape you should be able to have the ability to block 4-5 quest monsters in your endurance round dreams like you can slayer tasks. 5/21/2017 The day I claimed ownership of the Old School Content Suggestions.
