Good: Ashes in general (prayer will be cheaper) - hidy holes (Love shortcuts that are permanent.)

I dislike that people jump to conclusions without actually doing the math involved.

Fishing is normally 90k xp/hr max @ 99. So for this purpose we're just going to say an average of 80k xp/hr.

You can fill about 6 decorated fishing urns per hour at 90k. This means you'll fill around 5 per hour at 80k. Which is 9.5k bonus experience bring you to around 90k experience/hr.

From 70-99 at 80,000 experience per hour it will take 153.7 hours of work. From 70-99 at 90,000 experience per hour (using the urns) it will take 136.6 hours of work. Meaning that these urns will save you about 17.1 hours of work going to 99. Say you kill frost dragons in those 17.1 hours of work for 2.5m gp/hr, that's 42.75m profit you could be making instead of spending another 17.1 hours grinding away.

All in all this is a great update for skillers, it provides a method of not gaining extremely fast experience, but will add up to extreme amounts in the end. I'd rate this update a 5/5 just because of it's well rounded usability.
