RuneScape Chat Features

If you've ever tried to send someone a private message (PM) in RuneScape and they aren't shown as logged in, chances are, they have their Private Chat turned off or set to friends... I recently set my private chat set to friends... for awhile I had people saying that I won a free membership, or whatever to get my password... One guy even admitted it too... So, since then, I've turned my private chat to "Friends". I had a hard time when merchanting in world 1. I had such a hard time trading. You see... when trading items such as nats, laws, lobbys, or whatever your little heart desires... you can buy or sell them at world 1. The hardest thing about world 1 is the fact that people are constantly stating what they're selling or buying, and there are so many people there merchanting as well... how do you click on the trade offer when everything is going so darned fast? I have found that turning the public chat to hide works wonders... it allows you to see what others are merchanting, and at the same time, you can see only action items such as the trade offer from another player. You can also set the public chat to friends only and see those in your friends list.

RuneScape F2P Interview

Please, if you know anyone that is like this, send me the name... and if you can get ahold of this person... let me know that too... (sometimes people turn off thier private chat (I will be talking soon about the private chat features and the public chat features and how to use them to your advantage...)

Current stats and some thoughts on hiscores

So I noticed the others were posting their current stats and figured I might as well post mine too. Such a follower, huh? Anyway, I just took this screenshot this morning so it is very current.

Looking at our stats and the hiscores I think it is really funny sometimes how that all works. Take the hiscores for instance, except for some notable disruptions, for most of the time I have been playing (about 4 months) Zezima has held the top spot in the hiscores. Now I read the interview with him on one of the sites and he sounds like a really nice guy who works hard for that achievement, so I mean no disrespect when I say what I am about to say. But out of curiousity one day I looked at more than just the overall hiscores, to look at the hiscores for each skill (you can do this by clicking on skill name in the hiscore menu). Anyway, interestingly enough Zezima is not first on any of the individual skills! I thought that was really strange at first how you could be first overall but not first in anything specific. As I thought about it more though it began to make a little more sense (and I think someone commented about this on one of the previous posts). You can train a really high combat level (or any other skill) or even have a "pure" character which would get you closer to the top spot in THAT skill, but to be first overall you really have to train everything. So you may not be "the best" on any particular skill but because you train them all, you end up with the overall hiscore spot. Way to go Zezima! Its much harder than it might sound, believe me!

Tom and I talked about this once and the fact that nonmembers can only ever attain a certain level. So a nonmember would never have the number 1 spot, it is just not possible. For example, right now on overall hiscores I outrank Tom, but look at our stats..... He owns me on practically everything! Now notice the areas that he has 1's in? Those are all the member skills, ones that he can't train but I can. That is how I outrank him overall. Interesting huh? I'm not sure if I have worked out exactly how I feel about all of that, but I do know that it makes me think a little bit more about levels and "status" in runescape!

Next time, I promise I will talk more about being a member. This actually leads very well into that whole area, because some of the most overwhelming things when you first become a member is all the new skills to train and quests to do. Some of the quests require some of the new skills.... and remember what its like in the beginning and you seem to level all the time? Its kind of exciting and it keeps you working for more. Then after awhile it seems like forever between levels... New skills come in handy then, keeps boredom from setting in. And there is always a new quest to do for members. Runescape releases new quests and even mini-games every month so there is always something new to do! Then there was the recently released new skill of construction.... but that is definitely its own post! Hope I have left you wanting a little more and until next time happy scaping!

Current Stats

Full Zombie Revisited

I'm really enjoying the new Stronhold Dungeon...

The Minotaurs drop bronze and iron arrows , tin and copper ores, rune essence, gold, uncuts, and the occasional bronze item.

The Flesh Crawlers drop just gold and sometimes uncuts.

The Catablepon drop 15 rune essence, coins, and misc runes.

The Ankou drop addy arrows, mith ores, rune essence, law runes, and gold.

The reason I mention full zombie is because while fighting the Minotaurs... I was burying bones. I got Leo the Gravedigger three times! I also heard of others complaining about Leo and that particular random... All I needed was 1 random and I got full Zombie... the 2 after that, I got the zombie dance and the zombie walk emotes! Yeah me!

RuneScpae Update Today (Some Good Stuff!)

Okay... you may have noticed some people walking around in RuneScape wearing multi-colored boots... or at least new boots... You may have even heard...

But i've got screenshots of the new Underground Maze in the Barbarian Village...
This is the entrance of the Stronhold (click on the pictures to make them bigger):

The great thing about this dungeon is the fact that when you leave through a door... you are sucked through the door stopping monsters following you in the door.

Here is a picture of one of the new monsters featured in level 1 of the Stronghold Dungeon: Minotaur (this monster will drop the right half of the skull of the new sceptre)

Here is one of the questions that you have to answer (correctly) in order to get the prize at the end of the maze

This is the second floor of the dungeon. One of the new creature resides on this level: Flesh Crawlers (these monsters drop the lower half of the sceptre)

This is the third floor down, as well as another question...

This is a catablepon (another new creature that drops the top half of the sceptre), as well as another question...

This is a picture of one of the chests:

Here is the 4th level and one of the lovely portals... as well as one of the newest high level monsters that you have to fight in order to get the last piece of the sceptre... the left half of the skull that goes on the sceptre

At the end of it all you get to walk away with over 10k in gold, 4 brand new emotes, and your choice of either multi colored boots or what RuneScape calls "mean" looking boots... But you don't get the rewards unless you answer the questions... and answer them correctly...

Edit: The new Sceptre has teleporting abilitys (right to the Barbarian Village)... It has something like 5 or 6 charges (which means that after the 5th or 6th time you teleport to Barbarian Village... The sceptre won't teleport you anymore). I'm not sure if you can charge it although you can destroy the thing. Divination will let you know how many charges you have left. It may refresh over a certain amount of time, and it may need to be destroyed and you have to get a new one (this last one is the one i'm going with)

Happy exploring!
