Charm Sprite Hunting [12 Oct 2010] - Downfall - 2010-10-12
If you’re a practised hunter with a passion for Summoning, you’ll be able to turn your skills to good use and bag some handy rewards in the process, with this <a href="http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/hunter_charm_sprite_blasting_level_72">new Hunter skill update</a> (for players of level 72+).</p>
<p>The Taverley druids’ constant forays into the Spirit Realm have had an unforeseen impact on RuneScape. Invisible creatures, which are actually the power contained within charms, are spilling out into our world. Yaktwee Swinmari Cianta, aged gnome hunter and self-proclaimed “jack-knife-of-all-trades”, expounds the virtues of staying in shape by capturing these “pesky little critters”, more commonly referred to as charm sprites.</p>
<p>Doing so requires the keen eyes of experienced hunters to spot when these creatures are in the area, honed reactions to target and reveal the critters, and cool, calculated aiming in order to capture them as they rush to get away! The more charm sprites you manage to capture, the more Summoning charms you’ll earn.</p>

This update is very unfavorable for high combat and high hunter players. That being said, this update is also very beneficial for low combat, decent hunter players who have no other way to obtain charms. That being said, charms are much more obtainable through Slayer and such. This is painstakingly click-intensive (maybe I'm just lazy?)
Pros:
- A good way to obtain charms without combat.
- You get Hunter XP.
- Very cost effective. (only 4k GP to get the gear)
- Slow, click-intensive.
- Requires 10 'charm slices' to make 1 charm. (minimum of 10 charm sprites to make a charm, relates to being slow)
- A terrible way to obtain charms for combat-able players.
- May take some prestige away from the Summoning cape. (the little prestige it has left after the double XP weekend)
Just my review of this update. >.>
