Runescape Realitor?

No... I'm not joking... You can actually BUY a house on runescape. Click here for the official announcement. Did you notice the paint and scaffolding when logging into Runescape? Yeah... me too. You can also build your own house... EVICT people from your house (by clicking the run icon and then click "Evict all players from house" or something like that)

Another announcement... We will be soon having another person posting on this blog to give a more feminine and member's type of view... I cant wait!!!

Perhaps on what it's like having a house? ;-)

What's your fighting style?

So yes... there is a fighting style for how you play... Watching those PK videos... I have seen the difference of styles... And I now understand which is which.

Pures - A player that has focused thier levels on one thing mainly (for example: Mage, Warrior, Ranger)

Hybrid or Mixed - A player that has not focused thier levels on one thing only

A pure Warrior would have a high strength, and attack

A pure Mage would have high magic and low strength, attack, and defence

A pure ranger would have high range and defense, and low strength and attack

Why would a pure be a more efficent killing machine? Lemme give you the lowdown...

One way the pures are better at killing is, if you raise all of your stats... you tend to raise your overall combat level real quick... now this may seem like a good thing... but not entirely... it may look cool... but don't go out in full rune or chances are, you'll loose it to a pure.

Here's a scenario... I go out into the wildy and I'm wielding rune long with stats of 45 attack, 46 defence, 46 strength, 2 ranged, 34 mage, 37 prayer (yes prayer raises your combat level). This will make my total combat level 57. My max hit will be 12.

Now I get attacked by someone the same level as I am, but is a pure warrior. His or her stats are: 63 Attack, 40 defence, 64 strength, 1 ranged, 1 mage, 1 prayer. This will allow him/her to completely own me giving them a max hit at 15 using a rune long and using aggressive stance (and given the right equipment up to 28 max hit)

Fighting monsters is a different story here. Having a hybrid is to your advantage because you will be able to use all of the stats you have.

Runescape Max Hit Calculator

Many have been searching for a "Runescape Max Hit Calculator"

Well, I try to oblige... So here are some links to some damn good Calcs:

Lemme know if you like them!

5 Million GP and a Santa Hat!

In the past I have mentioned scams. Like lotterys in Runescape... I wanted to write about a site that has been brought to my attention: rsboards.com

I went and checked out the site. It looks real good. As a matter of fact... I even joined.

The reason I mention lotteries is because at rsboards.com is offering 5 MILLION GP and a SANTA HAT.

No scam this time. Only one catch... to join and submit what are called RSB Bucks which are made by posting comments on the board. Now how easy is that?

I'd like 5 Million GP and a Santa Hat. Now if I can just post enough to get into the lottery... and not make it sound stupid...

Thanks Chris!

Selling Lobbies

Lobsters, one of the most popular foods in runescape. I started fishishing over the weekend and am now able to fish and cook Lobsters. Looking at the Runescape Price Guide* (part 1/part 2/part 3/part 4), it shows lobsters selling at 200-225 Gp ea. I have taken a break to work on some other skills. I also finished my last quest: The Dragon Slayer. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I was level 51 when I went into the quest. I am now level 54. The funny thing is that it raised my strength and defense above my attack. Apparently the quest doesn't give you any XP for attack. It's all good though. I had my inventory full, I was wearing a Strength Ammy and the only armor I had on was my Anti-Dragon Shield (unless you count a wizards hat). So... I can now wear full Rune... If I wanted to. So... If anyone wants to buy lobbies... I'm selling them... That is... untill I can start fishing and cooking swordies...

* The price guide is split into 4 different sections:
Section 1: Weapons and armor
Section 2: Crafting, Mining, Smithing, and Food/Fishing
Section 3: Magic, Fletching, Woodcutting, Prayer, and Ranged
Section 4: Herblore, Runecrafting, Farming, Clothes/Robes, Treasure Trail Items, and Discontinued/Rare Items

Full Zombie Revisited

I decided to start leveling up in my fishing. I thought that I'd level up to the point of being able to catch lobsters. I started at around level 14. After I hit level 20 it got so much quicker to level up. The last level I gained this morning was something like level 31 or 32... But here's what happened to me. I was attacked by River Troll. Something like a level 82 River Troll. I had about half of my inventory worth of food. I thought I could handle him. Nay... I KNEW I could handle him. I was down to about two hitpoints and he was down to about 2 hitpoints too.

I died.

I lost my Fly Fishing Rod, the 2k feathers I collected for the flyfishing. The FULL ZOMBIE I WAS WEARING!!!

Doh!

What's the saying again? Easy come, easy go? Not this time...

Full Zombie

I've been trying to get full zombie for quite some time now... It started last week on Friday morning (I like to be on in the mornings... It's quieter) trying to get full zombie. I had previously had the shirt and boots, but lost them fighting the wizards in the stone circle (I hate those guys). So when I got the shirt and boots, I decided to get full zombie (what I REALLY want is the walk and dance). I started out by burying bones in the noob area where the goblins are in a small room near Lumbridge. I started out with something like 27 in prayer and 20 in magic. I started by burying bones. LOTS of bones. Meanwhile I was collecting runes and gold, as well as the bones. The reason I mention my level in magic just a second ago... is because of collecting around 200 body runes and 200 water rune and only 6 earth rune, I decided to go get my Earth Staff. I trotted down to the bank and took out the Earth Staff, then headed back to where I was. After a while I leveled up a LOT in my magic (I'm now level 29 in magic). I'm also now level 35 in prayer. During that time I came across a lot of randoms...

2 Shades - This random is triggered by burying bones only. If you can kill it, it gives you either shade robe (top, bottom, or both).

2 Zombies - This random is triggered by burying bones only. If you can kill it, it gives you more bones, anywhere from regular bones and up to Dragon bones, and anywhere from 10 bones on up...

1 Drunked Dwarf - This random is not triggered by anything in particular. Talk to him and he gives you a beer and a kebab

2 Frog Princess - This random is not triggered by anything in particular. Talk to the princess and she will give you a Token to redeem at the Varrock clothes shop for a frog head (mask) or a prince outfit

1 Mysterious Old Man - (Strange Box) This random is not triggered by anything in particular. There are two versions of this old guy. He either gives you a "Strange Box" and says "here you go", or he waits to talk to you and when you do, he gives you some coins or an uncut gem

3 Genie - This random is not triggered by anything in particular. The Genie when talked to gives you a magic lamp. This lamp will give you 10 x the level you have in that category. For example I have a level 63 in mining then I'd get 630 experience in mining. Or if I had a level 35 in in crafting, I'd get 350 experience in crafting

1 Capn' Hand - This random is not triggered by anything in particular. He thinks that you're an old buddy, gives you something for your trouble when you talk to him. Usually gives you coins or a gem

After a while I gave up... I decided to raise my cooking level to get into the cooking guild (by the way... I'm not that impressed with the cooking guild).

I was in the Champions Guild (raising my cooking) all the meanwhile burying bones and collecting feathers (for leveling up in flyfishing). Not five minutes passed and lo and behold... Leo the Gravedigger tells me that he needs my help. Woo-Hoo! Well... now I have the zombie gloves, shirt, pants, and boots!

Now for the mask!

Raising Attack, Strength, and Defence in Runescape

One thing I've been trying to do, is leveling up equally in attack, strength, and defence. The best way I have found is using a long sword (the highest one you can for your level) and chooosing the attack style: lunge. This will allow you raise all of your stats at the same time. I have found that it not only works in fighting monsers... but helps in the wilderness too when fighting against other players when equally equipped and also close to being equally leveled.

Another weapon that is good and will raise your levels equally would be a scimmitar. There is a setting that will allow you to raise your settings at an equal pace too. I don't know the setting... But I do know the setting exsists.

Sleeping Bag

Quite a few of you have been searching for a Sleeping Bag from Runescape. Wondering if I have any? No... I don't, sorry. Wondering if I know anyone that does have one? No... I don't, sorry. Wondering if I know wether or not Runescape still carries them or not? Yes... I do know. They no longer carry sleeping bags... Or rather, they never carried them on Runescape 2... You can use them in Runescape Classic. And I'm guessing that you aren't part of Runescape Classic... otherwise you wouldn't be doing a search on Sleeping Bag. I'll now tell you WHY there is no longer a Sleeping Bag in Runescape 2. The reason that people had them was to cure fatigue. Fatigue (in Runescape) is a state that happens where the character is defficent in sleep (I suppose) and will affect his/her stats and can no longer do certain things (such as chopping down trees, or cooking, etc...) So there is the reason that Sleeping Bags are not obtainable in Runescape 2.

Runescape Bugs and Glitches

I hate to say it... but youre not going to find one. You're not going to find a bug or a glitch in Runescape. Or if you do... It may work just one day... and YOU are the one that has to find it. It will work, so long as you don't tell a single soul... it might not be removed. And chances are, if you find it on the internet, it's already been fixed by jagex. If you look at some of the old programs that worked... some of it's history, you'll see that the good people at Jagex have fixed a glitch or autobot (macro) almost as soon as it is used widespread. The "item duplicator" was when a guy figured out that he could trade something and select how many he wanted to trade. He realised he didn't want to trade that item so he added zero instead of any other number. It went and traded anyway. He turned around and started selling party hats like crazy making billions in a matter of a day. I dont know if there has been any autoclickers banned. I wouldn't put it past Jagex finding something that will fix that too. So... If youre looking for a glitch... find it on Runescape. I'm sure that if you play enough... you'll find one. I'm also sure that there are people too who want to be mods (moderators) that report glitches.

The gems of mining in Runescape

I have found that crafting and mining have gone hand in hand (not as far as leveling of course). About 1/4th of the time I fill up, I find that I get one or two gems... sometimes people drop them and I'll pick them up too. After I'm done filling up with coal (or whatever else I'm mining at the time) I'll go to the bank and cut the gems. I am able to cut Sapphire, Emeralds, and now Rubies. I'm not able to make Amulets of Strength yet (you have to be level 50 in order to make a Ruby Amulet) but I can make a Ruby Ring.

I wasn't sure on how to make an amulet so, I had to figure out this myself... Now I'll pass the info on to you!

Take one gem (or if you're at a crafting of 23 or below, just do gold (you have to be level 24 in order to make a sapphire ammy, level 31 to make a emerald ammy and 50 in order to make a ruby ammy)), one gold ore(must be level 40 in mining, or you can buy a gold bar from someone else), one piece of wool (from sheep), and one amulet mold (this can be found at the craft store in either Rimmington or Al Kahrid, and sometimes the barbarians drop them in the Barbarian Village).

Cut the gem with the chisel, smelt the gold ore and make it a gold bar (unless you bought the gold bar, if not, it's again level 40 smithing to smelt the gold), take the sheeps fleece to a spinning wheel and click on the piece of wool and then the spinning wheel to make a ball of wool. And make sure that you have the amulet mould in your inventory.

So now you should have in your inventory 1 gem (if your level is high enough), 1 bar of gold, 1 ball of wool, and 1 amulet mould.

Go to a furnace and click on the gold, then the furnace. A screen will show up and allow you to click on the amulet you want to make. It'll be a gold circle or a gold circle with a blue, green, or red dot in the middle.

After you make the choice... Your amulet has been made. Now click on the amulet, and then the ball of wool.

This will allow you to make a complete amulet that you can cast Enchant Level 1 on. For Sapphires... you can make Ammy of Magic. If you aren't a member... you cant enchant the emerald ammy into anything. If you are level 50... you can enchant the ruby amulet into an ammy of strength.

I usually store my gems up to 10 at a time, mine the gold, and keep a large stock of balls of wool in the bank and some cosmos runes too. I also have a staff of magic so I don't need to buy water runes. Then I do like 20 (it's usually 10 sapphire, 7 emeralds, and 3 rubies(the rubies I turn into Ruby Rings)) or so at a time, helping me level up my mining, crafting, and magic all at the same time.

A side note: If you decide to sell them at a general store... strung and unstrung amulets sell at the same price... so I wouldn't bother stringing them if you're going to sell them at the general store.

Last but not least... you can sell an ammy of magic for anywhere between 500 Gp and 1k Gp and an unenchanted Sapphire Amulet for anywhere between 100 and 200 Gp (although I think this may be off)

Ashamed

I've been playing runescape for quite some time... and I've discovered something that I feel I should bring up: The fact that my favorite game is promiting drug usage... If you don't believe me... just look at this screenshot:







Oh, the shame...

Mining Guild Update...

I haven't been doing much but mining... I've met a few nice people while mining and smithing. I've leveled up to 61 just this morning. I also leveled up (I took about an hour off to work on my attack/strength/defense) in my combat skill fighting Hill Giants. I think I'm now level 41 in attack; 38 in strength, defense, and hitpoints.

Some people have money (or attempt to make money) by pking... I on the other hand am making my money by mining. Easy stuff... Of course I have a clan backing me. All of our members have over 100k and up to 444k... If you're willing to work hard and start by running (the runners make as much money as do the miners) you can make some good money. Pretty soon (within a week or two) a portion of our clan is set up to make about 4 or 5 mil. Food for thought? Leave a comment if you want to join (no one can read the comment unless I approve it to be published and I wont publish it if you don't want your runescape name out in the world wide web (by the way... none of our members will ever ask you for ANY personal information)). I cant guarantee you will make that much just starting out. But you will eventually in our clan...

Current (and future members):

The Generals of The Dragon' s Pickaxe will suspend all dues until further notice.

Three Item Rule Revisited

I have found (last night as a matter of fact) that the three item rule does not apply in all cases. I was in the wilderness with three items that I value very much. First was my Mith Plate, the second was my Mith Shield, and third was my Addy Long Sword. I figured I was fine going out in the wilderness (wild or wildy to Runescape players) with my three items. I was fine too. I am at almost level 50 total combat. I went out with someone who is around level 30. I thought it would be a good idea to go around the campers at the entrance to the wildy and go pk (Player killer) hunting. We ended up in level 47 (at the top of the wildy) and went looking for someone mining mith. There was no one there, so we went to check out the lesser demons and try to raise our levels on this level 92 beast. I must have somewhere in there clicked on my friend on accident because I saw myself hit him and I quickly moved away and apologized. He said it was okay and we started planning our attack. I of course got the scull and crossbones above my head for attacking someone. I went over to the lesser demon and started attacking. He followed and started attacking too. We (to my surprise) took about half of its hitpoints off. We did some good damage for being half of its level. I ended up having about 6 hp after that little battle. I went over to the west to rest. I had no sooner started resting, when all of the sudden I saw 3 pkers comming out of the west. Looking back on it, I think they saw the lesser demon with only half hitpoints and figured someone had JUST been there attacking. They were right. I saw them on the radar and tried to run. I couldn't move at all. I kept clicking. Nothing. They had cast bind on me. Since I had the scull and crossbones above my head, I had lost everything. Oh well. I had 300k in the bank. I had to buy a Rune sword this morning. I am going to start leveling up my def and str so I can wear rune. Only 5 levels right? ... Ugh.

One good thing happened to me though. I can now enter the mining guild (with the aid of a dwarven stout). I'm level 59 mining. I went in there and figured everyone would be taking my coal. Totaly opposite. If I went to a coal and I was the first there... everyone else avoided it the rock. Not like in the Dwarfs Mine, or the Barbarian Village, or in the Scorpion Pit. There are like 50 coal rocks there. There are also about 5 Mith rocks too, which are always up for grabs (the first to mine it gets it). Funny though... there are a LOT of higher levels in there. I've seen up to level 107 (if not... very close to that.) I've also seen a lot of level 80's in there. I feel like a noob walking in there with only a level 48 or 49... Maybe I need to start leveling up a little (or how about a lot).

Current Stats

Champions Guild

Ok... I got in... but first I had to do the Black Knights Fortress Quest. I don't quite understand... I thought I had it. In all reality I was at 30 Quest Points, when I thought I was at 32... After the last quest, I was at 33 Quest Points. I think what happened was I counted one of the other quests in there too. Hmm... Oh well.

All in all, the Champions Guild was anti-climactic. I was expecting something more. There is a fenced in area where you can kill chickens to work on your cooking and prayer and if you need to work on your fletching (the feathers) too. There is an upstairs where you can buy some rune stuff... sorry... no Runite Breast Plate (besides you have to finish the Dragonslayer Quest to be able to wear that). After leveling up my Cooking (Level 22?) I went and bought a Water Staff (something interesting regarding the Water Staff... You don't need that rune for that particular staff, for example, if I need to cast water strike I would only carry air and mind runes and the Water Staff would act like my water runes.) I think I was able to level up to 16 on my magic fighting the guards in Varrock. After that I went into the Edgevill Dungeon and attacked Hill Giants (level 28) for the big bones and Hobgoblins (level 42) for the HP, Strength, Defence, and Attack Exp.

I went outside to bury the bones in the grass... I had two Redberry Pies on me and some more food... While I was burying the bones, I was attacked by a level 70 something zombie. Then I had this jerk that was standing right on top of me... Waiting for me to die... Telling me things like "kill him, don't run away" All the while I'm attacking this thing. Of course with the pies gone and the fish and bananas gone, and only 7 HP left... what else could I do but run.

I lied

Okay, I said that I'd work on mining... I lied. Yeah, I've given up about 3 levels for mining. But I have actually been working on my Champions guild.

The following quests are quests and thier respective points (the ones without the stars are ones I haven't completed and all are freeplay):

*Black Knight's Fortress - 3 Quest Points*
Cook's Assistant - 1 Quest Point
Demon Slayer - 3 Quest Points
Doric's Quest - 1 Quest Point
*Dragon Slayer - 2 Points*
Ernest the Chicken - 4 Quest Points
Goblin Diplomacy - 5 Quest Points
Imp Catcher - 1 Quest Point
Knight's sword - 1 Quest Point
Pirate's Treasure - 2 Quest Points
*Prince Ali's Rescue - 3 Quest Points*
Restless Ghost - 1 Quest Point
Romeo and Juliet - 5 Quest Points
Rune Mysteries - 1 Quest Point
Sheep Shearer - 1 Quest Point
*Shield of Arrav - 1 Quest Point*
Vampire Slayer - 3 Quest Points
Witches Potion - 1 Quest Point

Hey! I can go into the Champions Guild now! Woo hoo! I just realized this. I'll let you know how it is... Now I just gotta find it...

Just a reminder for those looking for some maps of Runescape click here.

Guild Rules

I have recently been getting slack from some of the clan members saying that the membership fee (click HERE for the membership details) is a little too stringent, and that some have considered joining, but again... the fees are a little too high.

This is the first amendment to the rules:

Membership fee for Private is: 25 Iron a week

Membership fee for Captain is: 50 Coal a week

Membership fee for Major is: 100 coal a week

I understand that we all play Runescape for fun. That was why we started in the first place. We as generals are VERY reasonable people and don't want to alienate anyone or make anyone upset. But understand that the fees are for better equipment for all players. Armor, Pickaxes, etc...

This is the part of helping out one another.

Another thing that I haven't explained is the way the runner/miner/banker situation will work. The miner will receive a third of the profits from mining, the runner will receive a third of the profits from the miners coal (or otherwise), and the banker will only receive a forth of the money since they (the banker) is making money off of all the people mining and running. The rest of the money will go into the clans account for the aforementioned uses. If there are any other questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the screen. The comments are moderated, so, if you'd like your privacy... please let us know if you don't want your comment published.

Thank you,

The Dragon's Pickaxe

Continued from yesterday...

Yesterday I was talking about the fact that there are jerks that take the coal from us lower levels that cant go into the Mining Guild... It happened again earlier this morning... I asked one of the guys if he was a level 60 and he said no... he wasnt. I then realized that it was another player. I'm thinking what he was doing was getting the Mith from inside the guild, getting the coal from where we were, then getting the mith from the other side of us outside the guild... Pretty clever.

I finally raised my level in mining to 55. Leveling up one or two levels (in one day) is now an exciting thing for me... I remember just starting and how easy it was to level up. Not now...

only 5 more levels to get into the Mining Guild!

I was able to get one more quest so... I'm now a teensy closer to one of my goals. I've got all of the easy quests out of the way... we'll see how it goes with the "harder stuff"... I think (with my stats) I could do all of the quests... I'd just need a little food for my health to finish...

I got a chance to see myself in the hiscore list... I'm in the 600,000 rank (out of a million people)... not too shabby...

I had one friend tell me about her moving over to the members side of the game. She told me about how most of the people there have cats (of course a members benifit)... I found out that after two hours of having a kitten it grows into a cat... after two hours of that... it grows into an overgrown cat that cant do much of anything. With a grown cat, you should be able to turn it in for some death runes. I'm not too sure about the overgrown cat.

enough for now... I think I'm going to go work on my mining...

Runescape's Champion Guild

Okay... I'm nowhere close to getting into the Champions Guild... I think I'm closer to getting into the Mining Guild than the Champions Guild...

I'm at level 27 crafting... at 40 I can get in Crafting Guild.
I'm at level 54 in Mining... at 60 I can get in the Mining Guild.
I'm at level 17 in Cooking... at 32 I can get in the Cooking Guild.
I'm at level 17(?) in prayer... at 31 I can get into the Prayer Guild.
I have 9 quest points... at 32 I can get into the Champions Guild.

So... that being said... Yes I am going to start trying to focus on getting myself into the different guilds... The first and foremost I WILL get into will be the Mining Guild.

In the Mining Guild there is a TON of coal and a couple of Mithrill... The thing I don't understand is the fact that I have seen other people in the lovely and fair world of Runescape Mining in the Mining guild where there is PLENTY of coal, come out and start mining in the Dwarves Mine where there only 5 (close to the Mining Guild's entrance)... Okay.... Probably to be jerks.

More later... gotta go now...

Productive weekend in Runescape

This weekend went well... I raised 5 levels in mining, one level in smithing, two levels in crafting, and three in combat level (I think one in defence, attack, strength, and hp)

I also made 22000 over the weekend in about a span of 6 hours (we are in a position to make some more good money today (Monday) soon too). Just mining, smithing, selling coal, and selling steel.

Dragon's Pickaxe is getting started good. We've recruited about 4 people over the weekend... We should see how well they work out too.

I'm having a problem with people "claiming"... saying "this is my coal"(or whatever i'm mining at the time) Sorry... I'm a business man. If you are at a lower level... continue to mine elsewhere, or ask nicely if you can mine off of just one rock. I see some people trying their best and just keep going. They understand that there are other people out there that are at a higher level than them... They dont complain... Many of those people I have asked (in the Barbarian Village) if they want two of the coal and I'll take the other two... It helps them raise levels (one of them I was able to recruit i think). And I still get my coal without having to look like a jerk.

Some people are just looking to take people. For everything. As much as they can... One guy said that another guy needed to go with him to get "pooned" (not sure what that means?) and the other guy said "why?" The first said that because he got the random event, and that whoever got the random event gets to get pooned by him... of course the second guy is weaker than the second... and the first is weaker than I am... (he was a lvl 33)... so I told him that I got the last random event and was willing to go right now. The guy ignored me for a little... I think he didn't know what to say. Then he told me that his main guy is an 80... People like that, that shoot off thier mouth... probably don't have a level 80... otherwise he'd be USING the level 80. After a minute of trying to badmouth me... he logged out. I dont like the jerks out there. It makes the game more like the ugly nasty world we live in. Runescape is about having fun...

I guess, if I could change one thing IN Runescape... It would be that another random would happen... Or a npc that looked like a real person... when youre a jerk to them *poof* instant death and the stuff in your inventory and bank are dispersed.

I have a feeling that people would be a lot nicer

Runescape Mining Guild: The Dragon's Pickaxe

I am starting a new mining guild within Runescape with a (hopefully) few other players. Of course it's called The Dragon's Pickaxe.

The following is information on the qualifications, benefits, requirements, roles, and even a little mission statement. If you want to join please feel free to leave your Runescape username in the comments section at the end of this post. If you feel like you want to join just to join... Please don't apply.

Accurate stats for Runescape

I don't think that the previous stats were accurite... so instead of winging it and saying what I "think" my stats are... here they are:

Scammer

Apparently there are a bunch of scams in runescape. I've been encountered by most of them so far....

"Trimming kites" or "Trimming armour"
No one can trim your armour... NO ONE! I had a friend (now a member) get scammed that way. (thats how I met him... he was having a terrible day. First he got scammed with the trimming armour, then he got hacked, and then he completely lost the head to his addy pickaxe...)

Of course there is the "autominer" which also installs a keylogger (for those who dont know what a keylogger is... its a program that records your keystrokes and sends the information to someones email. Thus the person on the recieving end of the email has your username and password in the lovely world of runescape.

There is the "Item duplicate" scam which people tell you that runescape has a bug that you can exploit: dropping an item and then pressing the "f4" key on your keyboard... THIS WILL NOT WORK... what happens is you close your internet browser (internet explorer or firefox... or whatever you use) the person that told you this will pickup whatever you dropped since you have logged out

Then there is the "I'll raise your levels for you" trick... People will tell you that they will log onto your account to raise your levels for you. Big giant SCAM! Im sure that one in a billion would really be helping you... but otherwise dont trust it. I've heard of some guys "girlfriend" getting his username and password to level him up... took everything...

The ole "switcheroo" where someone trades you something and changes it last second or changes the price without you thinking... for example you want something for 1000 gp and they say ok... at the last minute they change the gp to 100 gp... looks almost the same... but not quite... make sure that you check before you accept the second time.

"I'll make you a member/moderator"... they ask for your username and password first... don't do it! Again... this is a scam!

Here is another one that I have seen... it looks realistic too:

Thx for hellping me out again. imean it. you saved my but. i just wanted to repayh the favor and help you otu too. my frined gave me a bot that wll level up your stats like attack and defence and mining and even jgive you upgrades on wepons. this my friend from runescape so please dont tell too many people. I dont want him to get into trouble for this. he sais he wont get in trouble but i dont want to anyway. i even got some partyhats in my bank :-). he gave me something and it has to be done exactly like it is below all of the stars:

the email address is runescapebot@jagex-usa.tk the subject has to be: runescapebot

if the subject line isnt runescapebot the jagex server will delete the email

dont put the stars in the email. make sure everying is in there exactly thte same. it wll not work if its not rite. If you dont want to change it leave it blank. otherwide it wll replace the stuff you have there. it wont change the runescape acount ether. just put the user and pass and the stuff you want. in yoru 28 slot you have 500 thousand gold peces already, so if you dont mind the last item in your inventory being deleted ad replaced with 500 k gp... then dont delete it. it shouldbe changed in a day or two. lemme nkow if if workd and ill help if it didnt.

Notice the real looking website too... Don't fall for these tricks as they will allow other people to hack into your stuff!

I saw a gir TODAY! who got her stuff all taken. It sounded like her brother had done it, because he said that she couldnt change her password from home... hmmm... that don't sound right. She logged off and changed her username and password...

People can be such jerks...

If you see anymore scams that I missed... feel free to send a message my way!

I am the easter bunny!

I logged on to runescape yesterday and saw some round things on the ground. It was blue. I went to get it and i couldnt see anyting to pick up. Then I noticed that there were a lot of other things that looked similar. Someone mentioned that they were an egg. I didn't understand. Someone had appeared from the blue thing (which later turned out to be an egg). Eventually I found out that people could transform themselves into eggs by means of a ring. Here is how I did it:

I went south of falador. I saw a BUNCH of people standing around talking to little kids. I also saw a bunch of people turning into eggs. I kept asking what I needed to do in order to get the ring ( i found out that people 'morph' into easter eggs using a ring). I found out that you first have to give a kid (any kid) 10 eggs you dig up using a spade. You will see bunnys jumping around with an egg, dig a hole, bury the egg, and stand on the mound. You go over to the mound and dig. You get an egg. dig up 11 of these bad boys. Keep 1 egg (the blue with the yellow rabbit shape on it) to your self. give 10 to a kid. after you give out the 10, go over a hole in the ground that one of the rabbits have burried and eat the one you kept (the blue with the yellow rabbit shape). You will start to transform into a bunny and go down the hole. Once in the hole, go to where you see a crowd of yellow dots on your map screen. North of there you will see a chute that dispenses eggs for the mass rabbits. Go up the chute. Talk to the easter bunny and he will tell you to give the kids 10 easter eggs. You have already done that. So, continue talking to the easter bunny and he will give you a ring. You will be able to transform when you "jump into the light" or leave the underground burrough. Congratulations! You are now able to turn into an easter egg in runescape! By the way, you can only stay an easter egg for a very short time while you are in that area.

Happy hunting!

Also, if you have to buy a spade to dig up the eggs... try to buy one in one of the shops. you can buy one for 1gp. if you go to the area where this is all taking place, you will pay up to 1k gp or more.

Runescape World Map

Three item rule

I have noticed that in runescape when you die... you still have some items. I found out that you keep 3 of your most valuable items. For example... if you die with a bronze pickaxe, a Runeite scimitar, a cadava berry, Adamantite pickaxe and a steel Breastplate, you will respawn in lumbridge with just the addy pickaxe, rune scimmy, and the steel breastplate. You will only be resurrected with the 3 most valuable items (or at least which runescape thinks is most valuable). all other stuff is scattered... that is unless you have a skull... if you have a skull in your inventory EVERYTING is lost.

Also, when you go into the wilderness DONT TAKE ANYTHING. If you do, take only three things... take off all of your armour and put it in your inventory. then click on the three things you want to keep on you. ( or 1 or 2 items (unless you dont mind losing them)). if you see anyting on the ground... DONT PICK IT UP! if you do, you have a chance of dying and loosing the stuff you wanted to keep. I picked up some rune arrows and died and lost a steel breastplate.

Mining

I have leveled up in mining quite a bit. In the very beginning I could only mine tin and copper ore to make bronze. I started doing what is called power mining... I quit doing that because i knew if i did this, my smithing levels would suffer greatly. I would be able to mine good stuff, but not smith it. I started out ming bronze and then smithing it into bronze swords, then bronze long swords. I also made battle axes and hammers and whatever I could. but it was too hard to sell the battle axes ( a lot of people call battle axes a "b-axe"... this is different than a b sale which is a bank sale). So I started sout east of Varrock and went down back to Lumbridge to the furnace. I smelted the tin and copper to make the bronze. I went back to the mine to mine some more tin and copper. I went up to the bank and deposited the bronze bars. I went back to the mining area and filled up again. then back down to the furnace again... after quite a few trips doing this, I deposited the pickaxe and got the hammer out of the bank. I got as many bronze bars as I possably could. I went to the smith n of the bank and made daggers, then when I leveled up, I started making bronze swords. After a while I could start making long swords. I then sold these to the sword shop soutwest of the anvil shop. I sold all of the swords and took the money back to the bank. I found out that the sword shop doesnt buy two handed (2h) swords. After a while I was able to make chain mail and leg armour and I sold it there in the shop where I smithed it. This is the best way (for me anyway) to make money in runescape (so far).

Auto Miner

I was looking for some things on the internet about runescape and found that there are cheats. I found out that there are things called auto miners. I will try this and let you know what I have found out.

Update: I have found that there are a lot more than auto miners. There are also auto fighters, item duplicators, auto clickers, and more. I tried that auto miner and I first had to click a "sponser". the autominer was stupid. It didn't work. I found out that it's for complete lazy idiots that can level up much quicker doing it themselves than depend on a moronic program. the auto clicker is dumb too. it's pointless. The item duplicator is pointless too. It will duplicate what you have on hand, but you cant trade it or keep it. After you log out, you loose all of that stuff.

Getting around

Getting around is kindof hard. It takes a while. I have been to Lumbridge and Varrock. I got killed by a highway robber. I dont know where I was at the time. Dying sucks. I had a bunch of stuff on me. I lost almost everything. It took me a while to get stuff. I found out that there is a respawning pickaxe in a castle tower in lumbridge. Its three stories up.

I also found out that if you are trying to mine on a smoking rock... it will hurt you. Someone told me that you will get more ore if you keep on picking. :-(

Noob

I have noticed that one of the most common things said to me is noob. I dont think I will do this if I am at a higher level than other people.

My first post

I love runescape. I just started playing. I will be writing the stuff I do in runescape and how I level up. This blog will also be about doing stuff in runescape. If you need any hints or tips this (among many other places) is the place to come to.
