RuneScape's Player Owned Port

Okay, the total objective is to get a safe voyage and collect resources. The game engine is geared towards this. Everything from crew members to buildings to captains to ship upgrades is designed to get your ship to be able to accomplish the mission completely and safely with as much resources as possible.






Buildings:






Buildings will do one of two things:


1) attract better crews/captains (which allow for safer voyages and more booty)


2) allow for better booty...






The more you upgrade, the better chances you have for successful voyages and greater rewards






Crew:






The crew you have can be used for certain missions. Some missions require morale, some require combat, some require seafaring, and some require a combination of two or three.






Some crew members have special abilities that help out with voyages






You can "purchase" 15 crew members daily. The better the bar is, the better stats the crew members come with.






There is a color coding system too for each crew member. Red is combat, blue is seafaring, and green is morale.






After completing voyages, your crew members have a chance of leveling up their stats 10 percent (or more, I'm not positive yet)






Ships:






Again, your mission, or voyage, depends much on anywhere from one to three factors: Morale, Combat, and Seafaring. When you have crew members, ship add-ons, and captains, your stats will change with each change you make.






for example, if you have a voyage with 4000 morale required, your ship will have x amount of morale points, the crew you have will have x each, and the captain will have x as well. You can see each option when you click shipyard. There will be Rams/Figurehead, Deck 1, Deck 2, Rudders, and Hull






Each of those will have different stats you can purchase from material you've collected through voyages. Changing those will increase or decrease different stats, depending on what you've purchased.






Meg:






Talk to her whenever she's back from her adventures, it's well worth it, trust me.






Visitors:






You will get new visitors daily.






There's a guy you can buy materials from, do it, it's worth it.






You will get two other visitors daily that are required for special voyages.






Since you have 90 in all the required levels for the port you will have the chance of unlocking all 6 visitors. These will open those special voyages I mentioned. When you do special voyages (there's a tab with the special voyages in the voyages menu), you can receive extra items and better chances of special items.






Voyages:






Each and every day you get a set amount of voyages including the special voyages if you've unlocked the visitors.






My suggestion is to do the easy voyages first. This will allow you to buy upgrades to make the harder voyages easier. Try to get at least a 90% chance of success (some days you will get only 60%). This will be difficult in the beginning since you have limited resources and lower tier crew members. At times you may have to chose between upgrading crew members and upgrading the ship, use your discretion.






Also, if you don't succeed in your voyage, you might lose a crew member.






I think this is all, if you have any questions, post a comment anytime.

Evolution of Combat in RuneScape

I've been playing RuneScape's new Evolution of Combat for a while. I've found it super useful in Dungeoneering as well as the Dominion Tower. It's pretty handy. I can see why RuneScape deemed it necessary to remove the specials. I still like the old ones better since they're remisciant of the old RuneScape. I think there should be a special "button" you can add to the EoC bar. I'd love to see the magic special attack from the Korasi sword come back, as well as the Saradomin Sword.

So what do you think? Do you think RS has ruined combat? I've heard a lot of pures have left. Tell us what you think!

Botting in RuneScape revisited

So I thought botting, macroing, etc... Might be dead. I thought wrong. I went into the Taverly resource dungeon thinking I can get a ton of dragon bones and camp without worry. GOOD LORD!!! Tons of bots there. Seriously... for every 1 dragon, there were 3 bots. And not just on the world I was on, but on the other worlds as well...

Oh well... I guess RuneScape is working on it.

I know though, it'll be fixed for a short while when 1. EOC (Evolution of Combat) comes out, and 2. when RuneScape ditches the Java client and goes on to HTML 5...

at least... for a very short time...

Current RuneScape Stats 11/2012

So it's been quite a while since I've posted my current stats. I am, as of yesterday level 135 combat! Also, I have over 200M GP

I can do Pack Yaks finally... Which is so awesome. I can camp dragons... I love it. I tested it out the other day (which helped me get 92 prayer yesterday). I was able to get about 50 dragon bones and the dragon hide as well. That's about 100 total items not including the drops. I think I can last longer... I'll post how it goes.

Woo Hoo!

Evolution of Combat in RuneScape

So, I've done a little bit of testing on the EOC. If you haven't yet, head on over and give it a whirl. It's pretty slick. On the week of the 19th you'll get 350k XP for participating in the survey at the end. If you need help with it, put a comment in and I'll help out.

Happy RuneScaping!

2012 H'we'en RuneScape event

If you haven't done it yet, I encourage you to do it... Every 2 hours RuneScape has the event over and over... each time you can get up to 50 ecto which will allow you to get - for 25 ecto each - a piece of outfit and for 50 ecto, the bonus piece... Imo, it's well worth it since you can use it after the event and get bonus xp for prayer when killing ghosts using the Ectoplasmator. Here's the most up to date information on it (it even gives locations):

Runescape and the Fight Against Bots - Revisited

I've been playing RuneScape a bit less... I've been down to about 30 minutes a day, if that. But I've been able to see the move RuneScape has made towards bots. I'm not too sure about bots being gone forever... that is, until RuneScape moves over to HTML5... And seeing some of the screenshots, it's not a bad move. Granted, there will still be bots made... but it'll be a catch up game for the bot makers. I've been on RS in the mornings and have seen a few of the bots "on trial"... but that's like... 1 a week perhaps.

I've been quite busy on rs even though I haven't been able to play much. I'll post some screenshots of the trials as well as my current stats soon.

Maybe I'll post some hacks and cheats too

;-)
