Talk:Jade vine

Test of Black mask on Jade Vine
It's not clear if the Black mask is effective against the Jade vine (as it is against other slayer tasks). To see if it is effective, I've recorded my hits when wearing the Black mask and when wearing the Helm of neitiznot.

All other items and prayers were kept the same during the test. The other items included Karils body and legs, fury, dragon boots, barrows gloves, ring of wealth, skill cape, dragon hatchet(not using special), rune defender. Prayers were protection from melee and piety.

It seems that the Black mask is effective in increasing the average damage, but the number of hits did not seem to increase.

Maybe someone else can do some tests to see what conclusions they come to. 13:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

it isn't effective as stated in the knowledge base--j-g 12:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

The knowledge base says it's effective against slayer assignments. However, it has been observed by multiple people that it seems to be effective against all slayer tasks (i.e. including Bork and the Jade Vine) that gives slayer experience, not just those slayer tasks assigned by slayer masters. 12:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

i don't care what people think you say it yourself that it only works on assignments.--j-g 12:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

and you have to come with evidence and you're test isn't worth anything since it isn't based on fixed variables--j-g 12:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "fixed variables". All items, prayers and pots were the same (as listed), except the replacement of the helm with the black mask. If not effective, then the helm should have better results, if effective, then the black mask should have better results.

As for it only working on slayer assignments, I have not said that myself. Nor can I find it anywhere in the Jagex knowledge base. The only reference to the black mask that I can find (here) is:

This does state that the black mask is effective against slayer assignments, but it does not say that it's only effective against slayer assignments.

If you could find the knowledge base article where it states that it is only effective against slayer assignments, then I'll be happy. 13:02, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

what you copied isnt from the runescape knowlage base lol i d

I consider http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2159 to be a part of the runescape knowledge base. What knowledge base are you referring to? Can you post the URL here. Thanks. 13:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Inferno Adze
Probably a dumb question, but has anyone tried using the Inferno Adze against the jade vine? The dragon hatchet is clearly superior as a weapon, but it'd be interesting to see if you could use the adze. --nekobawt 18:53, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You can but its a very poor weapon and i would not advise it. I had 84 prayer and run out just by using protect from melee using the adze. I am 99 att and str. -- 09:04, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup tag
Cleanup tag placed 08:24, 14 June 2008 Reason: Article is messy. Tables too long, and images have inconsistent size.
 * Cleanup doesn't necessary mean the images need to be deleted, just resize them. Disagree that table is too long.  Each entry represents the different growth stages of the jade vine so that readers can determine how far their jade vine has grown.  Tables were deleted; I will revert the deletion.  If the consensus is that the table is too long for the article, then maybe transfer to a subarticle. Chrislee33 04:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Table is too wide (70% would be nice), and images are inconsistent (in size). But since the table doesn't explain much, the images could have an alternate text describing it. Also, it would be great to put the images horizontally, rather than vertically.  If this is not possible,  move it to a sub-article. Jade vine article should preferably only contain details about the vine, not its growth stages.  We do not have growth stages of Yew tree in the article.  And, also, there's "Wild jade vine" to further lengthen the article, and this could be moved into another article as well.  07:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Table is now 70%. Image size is more or less proportional to the size of the vine as it grows. I find the growth stage important as an estimate of how much time I can do other things in case I forgot the time I planted it or if it did not use an amulet of nature to keep track. This article is not that large.  It would be nice to get that Table of Contents working on this page. Chrislee33 04:23, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks much better now. 04:32, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Missing Table of Contents
What happened to the Table of Contents? Should be one if there is more than 3 sections (article has 5 sections). It's not my preference settings as I'm seeing TOCs in other articles. TOC is in this talk page; but not in the article! Chrislee33 05:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed. It was caused by the bullets ( * ) in the Wild Jade Vine template. Wow, tooks me ages to figure it out. Lol, the timing was excellent. You fixed it, Chrislee. And, I thought I did it.  What an Eureka moment gone bad.  04:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Found the source of the problem: NOTOC was in the template:Infobox Monster.... now removed. Chrislee33 05:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Famalairs
Are famalair hits tested? Because the article should say something about them. 09:23, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Familiars cannot fight the jade vine, as it is a single combat zone. You could bring a healer or something though (I imagine a unicorn stallion is useful for its poison curing ability). 13:08, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

amulet of nature
should you bind your amulet of nature to the jade vine, what does it tell you when it becomes wild?

The Amulet of Nature only tells the player when the Vine has fully grown and has flowers etc. The Amulet says nothing about the Vine going Wild, It gives the same message when it's ready to 'check health' and when it's ready to attack. So the amulet is only useful to the point where you get the farming exp. After that it doesn't do anything.122.107.47.110 01:58, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Splitting
I'm going to start the discussion from that split tag. I support splitting Wild jade vine into its own article, per RS:G. The jade vine is a plant, the wild jade vine is a monster. 21:17, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Agree - Splitting up the plant and the monster make sense to me. The farming aspect is quite different from the killing aspect. 09:07, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Sounds right. 07:11, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Split - I might split them now. I think it is unlikely that someone will oppose. 07:14, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

This was somewhat confusing for me, reading about the vine for the first time, as the "see Wild jade vine" part is easy to miss. Might I suggest that this page at least make a mention of the 2500 slayer exp reward for killing the vine, and converting the "monster" page to a "strategies for killing the vine" page? To me that would make more sense.Big Bouffant 02:45, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Death percentages
Is it just me, or have these begun to die a lot more often when left unprotected?80.202.174.4 23:33, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Growth Time
How long the jade vine grows varies. I do not protect the jade vine from disease by paying the farmer. I super compost the patch, plant seed, and leave it be. It's been ages since I've had one die. Today (August 28th, 2011), I finally bound Nature Amulet to the Jade Vine Patch.

On August 27th, 2011, the jade vine was planted at approximately 2am. At 8am, the plant was in it's 5th growing stage. At 5pm, 13 hours after it had been planted and 9 hours since I had first checked on it, the Jade Vine had finally reached it's 6th growth stage. At 10:30pm, about 20 hours after it was planted, it was finally in it's last growth stage and I could check health. It took another 3 hours before it turned wild. That's 23 hours from the time it was planted to the time it went wild.

August 28th, 2011, at 1:30am, the next jade vine seed was planted. 9am, ~8 hours later, the jade vine is in it's 6th growth stage. At 5pm, the jade vine was fully grown to full growth and checked health, approximately 13 1/2 hours to grow from seed to 7th stage. About 7 hours difference between the two jades. Short of 5 hours, the Jade Vine turned wild. Although it took longer than I wanted, I was able to complete my goal.

 Killed the Jade Vine twice, within 24 hours and get 5k slayer xp.

(not to include Bork & Phoenix)

August 28th, 2011, at 9:55pm, another jade vine seed has been planted. Tomorrow I wont be able to check it as often, having work in the day.

If the jade vine has a relatively short growth cycle, then it is possible to kill it twice in a day - which I have done once before. I had killed the Jade Vine around 6-6:30am and by 2 or 3pm, health was ready to be checked. It was wild at 6pm. If I recall right.

May clean up the info above at another time.
