Lava Trees

A bug I found in RuneScape... I teleported to Camelot to do a little bit of woodcutting (the 4 magic trees south of Camelot) and someone was wearing a lava cape... he was using up some spare runes on teleportation... trying to get up his mage... I noticed the fountain spouting lava... then, when I went to cut the trees... I saw the trees spouting lava... and the logs too...

no offence or anything blog writers but i read this blog about 4 months ago and there is the same posts at the top of the blog

Current Stats ( and New Scam?)

Here are my current stats:

And yes, I did mention a new scam... someone asked if I wanted an account that they weren't using. I said sure... The told me to send a password so he can change the password on the account... I immediately saw where this was going... How this works:
They ask for a password for the account that they are supposedly going to give you, then they also ask for your username for your main account so you can be added to be a clan member (or whatever lame excuse they give you) then they hope that the password they give you is the same one for your current or main account and when they get this information, they're in... So be careful out there RuneScape FanAddicts... it's a ugly world out there, and there's always someone out to get your password.

Rumors Abound in RuneScape

I had been told just a minute ago that RuneScape is being hacked at this very minute... I'll address that in a minute or so... But also yesterday is the supposed anniversary of durial123... I was also told that there was another massecre in world 66 this time... totally untrue... if you look in youtube... you can see the skull on the videos which indicates wildy territory...

As for the hacking... not too positive but all the worlds are dead... here's some screenies:

RuneScape Communities

What's the benefit of a RuneScape Community? What type of person goes there? What do you do there?

In the past, I've posted links to RSBoards.com and how you had a chance to sign up to win a Santa Hat and 1M GP. Since then I've come to know the people on the forum and have developed a kinship with some of them.
So what are some of the benefits? Buying and selling is one of the greatest benefits. Getting help with your computer is another. Developing a sense of community is yet another benefit. Wonderful contests (like I mentioned above)... I could go on...
What type of person goes there? Almost any kind... Male, female, younger, older (that would be me) all types...
What do you do there? Some of the things I've mentioned above and more...

Have fun and enjoy!

Becoming Member in RuneScape

What is there to do in RuneScape in member world that you can't do in Free to Play? We'll see! I might become a member soon... Someone is hinting at getting me a membership.

I'll let you know some of the added benefits!

Current Stats

It's been a while RuneScape FanAddicts!

Well, what've you been up to? you ask? Nothing but crafting... It's been a pain getting it up there... what i've been doing is staying in the crafting guild the whole time... mining clay, taking my three jugs of water, and going to the sink, filling the jugs and making the soft clay... then after all the clay is soft clay, going to the pottery spinner, making unfried bowls... after that, I fry them. I've gotten up to level 60 crafting this way... my ultimate goal is to get up to 70... but it's taking forever.

anyone want to give me uncuts? hehe

Funny things said in RuneScape

Postie Pete?!?

My friend saw him in the Castle Wars area in RuneScape chatting away... Here's a Picture:

Goodbye Dragons Pickaxe

You have to admit... It was an awesome setup. But as of right now... I'm disbanding the Dragon's Pickaxe.

I am still looking to buy iron ores and coal... please comment on this blog for more info.

RuneScape Christmas Update

In order to get the brand spanking new Reindeer Hat, just follow the instructions:
Make sure you take 60 GP and head to Port Sarim. Pay the fair to one of the guys in blue.

Head west (you can follow the road to the dock you need to go to)

After talking to Shanty Claws, Head south till you start seeing a white area in your mini-map.

You should see some white clumps... Click these and you start gathering snowballs. I'd get at least 50. I started out with 40 or so and ran out (I kept missing the Gublinch).

Climb down the entrance (you should see the area to climb down near where you got the snowballs in your mini map. It's the exclamation icon.

Make sure you equip the snowballs before you try to start pelting the Gublinch.

Pick up 10 of the Gubinch Shards.

This one was an action shot.

This was just because.

Here are the children you are trying to save.

Take the shards and put them in the cages. 1 shard per cage.

Here's one in a cage.

Congratulations! You have the Reindeer Hat!

And here's how to do the dance...

And you're dancing!

If you want the tree, you have to be a member... :-(

Autominers, Autofighters, and Just Plain Macroing in RuneScape

Talking about bots and maros in general, Anonymous said...

Any one using an autominer will be banned, when a person is suspected of autoing in any form and someone reports them they are automatically sent to the auto detection unit, there is no human input from this it is a program that will monitor your character and gather evidence, when enough evidence is gathered it will ban you, the evidence from this is conclusive and no appeal is possible.

The adu does not look for autoers it will only respond to reports from players, however all player mods are aware of the adu and will report anyone acting suspiciously all wanabe mods will also report anyone beating them to the rock or tree or whatever.

You may also lose your account as many auto programs have keyloggers.

I completely disagree. I do not believe there is an ADU (Auto Detection Unit). I think RuneScape monitors in a totally different way. Not even mods are allowed to report someone that is a suspected macroer. Mods may only report someone that has been admittedly macroing or autoing. While it is true that you may lose your account to a keylogger or trojan, you most likely will not get banned. Remeber that throw away account? I can still log on to it.

Current Stats

Buying RuneScape Gold

I know at least two people that have bought RuneScape gold. One bought 1m in gold for around $15 and another I know bought around 4m gold... not sure how much, but they did. I don't blame them. But I would never do it either. I've made a total of around 3.5m total (probably that and more not counting my losses). That's not bad for a f2p.

But I digress. Those two have never been caught. They have both been active as well. RuneScape acts as though if you buy the gold, you WILL be banned. That's not necessarily so. I think that if RuneScape wanted to stop people buying and selling gold in real life, they'd ban the macroers as well as those whom they sell to. Those things are everywhere. I'm not kidding... I'm sure you've seen them. Cutting Yews, fishing lobbies and swordies, in the mining guild and crafting guild. It's irritating to see them knowing RuneScape might ban some of you (a very small amount of you) and let these autoers go free...

Hm... I wonder what those people do with their accounts once their done with them...

Zezima Shows us his capes... ALL of Them!

Hehe... I'm Zezima... or not

Extremely Fast Mage Leveling Guide

This is a banner night for my Runescape guiding so I have decided to go all-out and just make this mage leveling guide. This is a guide to 55 mage, after that just high alch yew longs or steel platebodies.

-First thing you should do is quests for your mage level that are easy until you can curse (Level 17-19 mage?)

-Buy an earth staff, and a TON of water runes and any others necessary. Do not buy earth runes as they are extremely expensive when used 3x per spell.

-Wear your best armor possible, rune is best, and go into the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian Village. Stay on the first floor where the enemies are weak and harmless.

-Equip your armor, staff and start cursing every goblin and minotaur in sight! Wearing this bulky rune armor means you miss alot but still gain the 29xp per cast allowing you to curse the same enemy lots of times!

-This should get you hundreds (if not thousands) of exp per minutes depending on how much of a frenzy you are in. Good luck, and get those cheap mage spells we all hate in the wildy.

Leveling Prayer

This is probably going to be the best guide to leveling prayer if you follow it exactly as I say, so listen closely. There is a spot in the Wilderness level 27ish above Varrock with a few Big Bones respawns and many regular bones spawns.

So why, Derek, would I go bury bones in the wilderness and lose my rune plate?

Well, there are a few rules to follow when burying these bones.

1. Only bring 1 item, 3 if you are very carefull not to skull yourself by pking.

2. There are 3 big bones (bbones) respawns on the west side that make a very fast and efficient triangle you can run through over and over. This creates an infinite number of big bones as by the time you have collected one big bone, the others have respawned.

These are the rules, adjust them as you see fit! I have been pked here by a few annoying 'Scapers, so be warned! However I also leveled my prayer from 31 to 43 in 2 days at this spot, and the skeletons aren't aggresive for more than 5-10 minutes.

Have fun, and get those protects! They don't make you a noob, and actually I've found that the people accusing me of being a "pray noob" are the same ones that I pk easiest!

First Post: Derek

Hey everybody! A hello to you all on this Runescape blog. A little bit about myself and Runescape first, and my long and unfortunate past with it.

I started playing Runescape wayy before the year 2000 and before it was known as "Classic", probably near the same time Mewoko started. I was an on-and-off Scaper, and over the years I gathered a few party hats before I realized they would be off any value.

I lost all the phats I ever earned by forgetting my passwords and letting my accounts go inactive. Yes I know it's a huge waste and now I wish that I had been more dedicated.

My most recent account was created late August, and his combat is currently 77 and I'm training attack for my Abyssal Whip, much more on that later as well as the eternal whip vs. dharok's axe question. And no, I don't powerlevel I've earned all my stats.

As I always worry about being banned, my character is a mainly pk build (player killer) so many of my non-combat stats are not ranked. Look me up on the highscores sometime if you like, name Darzalune.

Hope to see you all online soon! PM me if ya have any questions!

(Mewoko) First post

Hey all. Yet another writer for you to listen to. *waves*

I have my own blog, but it's for a different game. Feel free to look at it if you'd like. And I'll answer any questions you have about it...about Runescape too, of course.

I first started playing Runescape in 1998, before sounds, before the ability to make different types of attacks, back when there was only one type of pickaxe, and we were fine with that. If you told someone that RS might open up a P2P section, you'd get a laugh, because Runescape was always known as being pretty much the only good MMORPG that people didnt have to pay for.

Anyways, I played as an addict for a while... *cough*Tom*cough* but since then, I've been off and on. I cant tell you how weird it was to switch from the original Runescape (which people now call "RS Classic"... *sigh*) to the 3D version of Runescape.
I remember trying to pick up the environment sprites over and over again...I still do if I'm not paying attention, even though I'm fully aware they cant be picked up and dont make a red dot on the minimap.

So yeah, that's me.

Back when I played, a lot of people chose to separate between those in the champion's guild, and those who weren't. And practically no one believed in being an all-around character. Kudos to Tom for being one. So I was the abnormal one, the one who insisted on leveling up cooking when everyone else was fighting in the wilderness...



Anything that's happened to you on the game, it's happened to me at one point.
I was been lured into a couple of scams as a newbie.
I've been killed in level 2 of the wilderness, the one time i decide to bring a few hundred of different runes, a few nature and a few law, and some nice armor, in case i decided to fight. But I never dreamed I'd die in level 2.
Note that this was before the restriction that makes a character be of a certain strength or defense to wear great armor or wield the better weapons.

So I've been through it all, and anything you have to ask, you can ask me.

I'm just introducing myself to the blog.
Ciao for now.

Quick Leveling In RuneScape

Some people do a search for cheats on how to level up quickly in RuneScape. I have figured a good way (in F2P anyway) to level up quickly without cheating. You must have two things though. Level 40 fishing and cooking, and should be at least level 50.

Here's how I do it: I go to Karamja and fish lobbies and then go into the volcano and fight lessers. Working attack is key to leveling up... the better your attack, the more often you hit.

So there you have it... more later on the lessers area in the volcano...

RuneScape Glitch! Mini Tele

I know a secret... I know a secret...

Have you ever seen someone do a tiny teleport?

No... not from Fally to Fally or Varrock to Varrock... nothing like that... I doesn't even involve using Law Runes... "How does it work?" you may ask. Here's the secret... it involves the build mode...

That's all I'm saying for now...

Happy 'Scaping!

PS... I'm still looking for writers! I don't care if you just started or have been around since RS Classic. Members and Non-Members alike are welcome! Old and young! Personally I'd like all perspectives!

How Old are RuneScape Players?

I'm not ashamed to say that I'm 34 years old and I play RuneScape...
The real question is... How old are people that play RuneScape?
Here's a link to a website that shows the average age of players

Runescape FanAddict Writer Wanted

In case you haven't noticed... I haven't written in a while. I will be posting from time to time (such as my current stats and so forth...) But I need someone that will write at least once a week if not twice. This person can keep in contact via email to determine the subjects and so forth. I will judge who becomes the newest writer by the comments left below. Please tell me why you want to write here and how often you plan on writing and some other information. I will NOT post the comments. I will determine the writer in two weeks from today (September 6th 2006)

Current Stats

Auto Talker

I'm about to loose my internet and decided it's time to move some of my stuff that I'd been hanging on to for quite a while. I smelted all my iron and coal to make steel bars, and cooked all my lobsters and went to world 1 to start selling... it was a pain in the butt trying to type that in over and over again... I decided that I'd find an auto talker for you ladies and gentlemen out there. Unlike the autofighter, the auto talker is nice... you can type a list of different things. You can edit what you've typed, but you can't edit the effects after you've entered it into the program. For example you can type "selling 1k lobbies 200 ea" and then you have a radio button (a round selection button) where you can choose your color (white, glow1, etc.) and then you have a radio button to choose the effects (wave, slide, scroll, etc.). You can also set it to send the message every 5 seconds, 10 seconds 18 seconds... whatever you choose. When I went to world 1 I had the oppertunity to use it... I used it with my main too... and everything went great. I sold all my lobsters, my rune essence, and my steel bars... I'm up to 1.8 mil now... SWEET! I dunno... I may be giving it away soon. Because of lack of internet. Not sure yet. I was trying to see if I could get a Santa, but the prices are way to outta reach for me right now. Hope to post soon!

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

If there is anyone you know that is free to play and has all non-member stats maxed to 99, please comment below... I WILL get the comment, but it will not show up until I approve it. 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!

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!

Hello once again RuneScape Fans!

Or should I say Addicts? I just wanted to let you know that I will not post your comments with your name (rs or otherwise) unless you tell me it's okay. I take your privacy seriously... I know that I wouldn't want to have someone pm-ing me out of the blue to ask me for stuff...

Speaking of which... I bought a Black Square Shield (h5) (see my previous post...) and all was good with the world, birds were singing, children were playing, and angels were blowing thier trumpets...

Untill the evil one raised from the ground telling me "leave this place mortal"

I knew I had 'em... I knew I could take 'em... I was so sure... I gambled this:

Full Rune (Full Helm, Rune Plate, Rune Plate Legs, Rune Longsword), Ruby Ring, Amulet of Strength, Gold Gloves, 4k gold, a bunch of runes (including laws, chaos, etc)... and my Black (h5)... I also had about 3 or 4 lobbies so I was confident that i'd be able to get 'em.

I've killed many a shade in my time and have never been killed by a shade... Untill finally... I died. With all of that on... I left with about 8 hp... I left and then came back... the shade was still there, waiting for me... I ran away again... and it killed me...

Bummer eh?

I did get to keep my Full Rune. I had the kite in the bank... My good friend had an extra longsword and helped me out... As for the Black Square (h5) Kite Shield... it's gone...

A female perspective.....finally!

I have been meaning to post on here for a while and never seemed to get around to it. Whenever I had some free time, I wanted to spend it in the game! But I find that today I have some time and so here it is, my first post. I promise not to let so long go by before I post again.

So let me tell you a little bit about myself (or rather my rs character). Obviously, I am a girl and I am a member. I've been playing rs since about March and I really enjoy it. There are times when I like it more than others, but I think we all feel that way. Sometimes you have really good days in rs and others are not so good. Recently, I had a very good day. I finally finished dragon slayer! Isn't it funny how sometimes you dread something and when you finally do it, it turns out not to be so bad? That is how it was with dragon slayer, I finally went to do it and I loaded my inventory with lobbies..... Guess what? I only used maybe a third of them! And I probably ate more than I needed to. Oh well. I think from now on I won't wait so long to do things I'm worried about. It was great to achieve one of my goals: All non-member quests completed! I also raised my combat from 53 to 56 in the course of doing the quest. Not so bad at all!

There are a ton of things that I want to share with you all, but I am going to try not to put too much in this first post. I gotta leave you wanting more, right?! I think right now I will share a little bit with you about how it is to be a REAL girl in rs. I say real because you may not know this but many of the "female" characters on rs are actually boys pretending to be girls! Kind of crazy, huh? Apparently they do this to try and get free stuff from you guys! So beware :) What does that mean for those of us who are really girls? I'm not sure to tell you the truth. But I do think it is different for girls in rs. For one thing, I can't tell you how many times a day someone asks me to be their gf (girlfriend, if you were wondering)! I get followed around and basically harassed A LOT! Now that I am in the hiscores, I find I get a lot more random messages from other players. Some of them are asking me to be there gf- now these people may never have even seen my character! That brings up the main thing about this whole gf/bf thing in rs. Do people honestly think that I AM my character? Our characters are a reflection of ourselves, sure. Maybe they have some things that we wish we had or they do things we'd never do in real life. But the point is that we are NOT our characters!

Maybe this whole gf/bf thing is just a way for people to make a connection in the game. Perhaps that connection is stronger than ones with other people on your friends list, maybe not.... But I always wonder about those people you see in the banks or other populated areas who say "need bf/gf" or "looking for bf/gf" over and over and over again. Somehow it just seems so... desperate. Maybe they are just lonely? There is no doubting that rs is a great way to meet people from all walks of life. I've meet people from all over the world who I know I would never meet in real life. And I like to think I have met some great friends, truly wonderful people- Tom being one of the best (BTW, Tom one of us is going to have to tell the crazy story behind how we met!).

So now, I have met all of you and that seems like a good place to end this post. I look forward to sharing my adventures with you and perhaps getting to know you better too. Maybe next time I will talk about houses, being a member, or who knows?! Feel free to leave comments and let me know what you want to hear! Until then, happy scaping!

Runescape Updates

I'll post a new pic soon of my current stats... I have been out of town for about two weeks. While out of town, still trying to get some game time in. But I'm back...

I love the joys of a good deal... and even better... I love selling something for better than what I got it for... ah... the joys of merchanting...

Okay... I'm standing in the bank and hear someone calling out "Selling rune scimmy", so I ask how much for the rune scimmy. He tells me 17k. I'm thinking: SWEET!!! Good deal right? This is the great part... Someone walks in saying "Buying rune scimmy"; so I go over to him and trade... he offers 27k!!! SOOOOOOOOO NICE!!! That was one of my finer moments while merchanting... This of course doesn't make up for my not so great moments (but we all do that merchanting right?)

Around that same time I saw some guy trying to trade a Black Kite Shield(h5) to someone with a Sara Kite... of course the guy with the Sara didn't trade (neither would I). I asked the guy how much he wanted it for. He told me to offer. I told him 10k. He agreed... I went into the bank to get the money... after we were in the trade menu he said "how about 15k?" I said 13k... He said ok. Sweet!!! I just don't know how much they go for for real... I know I got the shield for cheap. I've looked at the runescape site for their opinion on how much it should go for... But nothing. I've even googled it and turned up with a site where a guy is auctioning it... It went for 100k! I've seen them being sold for anwhere from 60 to 100k!!! YESYESYES!!!!

I've reached one of my goals (I don't think I wrote it down... But I've been working on it):

Level 40 Range

I've also reached my Million GP mark too!

I'm in the crafting guild so I can check that off...

And I'm still in the top million players!

Greetings!

Just a friendly hello to our new(est) writer Ryan! I'm still in the process of getting another writer on the blog (I think she's a mite bit intimidated...) and I hope she starts writing soon!!!

BTW... have you noticed the influx of macroers or autofishers while fishing lobsters? DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! More on that later...

'Till then!

The Fally Massacre in Runescape 6-6-06 World 111

I really don't have much to say about this, except it's a sad thing... I couldn't imagine loosing my phat... I made my money the honest way... mining, smithing, selling logs, crafting... and loosing all of that... Saras, dragon, stuff like that...

Man...

In the video you can see player mod monk1313 telling everyone to bank thier stuff...

Here is the video... It takes a little while to load, so press play, pause it, and let it load. Then press play again.



Here is an interview with Durial321 one of the key pkers in the "Fally Massacre"

AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I got it! I'm up in the top million in the Hiscores!!! wooooo-hoooooooo!!! Okay... what's my rank? Not telling you. :-P

Hehe... I'm don't want to disclose my name at this time... having people pm me out of the blue asking for money or other items...

Well... I figured that I'd work on Ranging to get my lowest stats up a lot higher... I'm up to about level 24 or so... not too bad for starting yesterday morning.

I've been using a short bow (up to level 5) using rapid fire (then going up to oak bow) with bronze arrows. My max damage has been about 3's so far... :-(

I've bought Iron, Steel, and Mith arrows too... we'll see what becomes of that.

I've been getting irritated at people taking the arrows that I drop... I know that these are just bronze arrows... It just gets a little expensive having to buy arrows. It's also hard to get as many arrows as I need to continue leveling up...

Okay... that's the end of that rant... what's my rank? Well... I'm below 997,000 but above 998,000

Not too shabby... the thing that makes me upset is... I checked it this morning and was a little higher ranking. Every second that goes by that I'm not playing I drop in rank a little bit... Let's hope I'm up there by the end of today...

Oh well... I won't be on too much next week... I'm going to Boston for a business trip. All of this will have gone to pot anyways...

So close!

I'm so close to a lot of my goals! My goals are/were as follows:

Finish all of my quests
Get into the Champions Guild
Get into the Mining Guild
Be able to fish lobbies
Be able to fish swordies
Make 1 Million GP (close)
Get (and have the ability to wear) Full Rune
Get into the Cooking Guild
Get into the Crafting Guild (close)
Be able to smith and mine Mith
Be able to smith and mine Addy
Be able to smith and mine Rune
Buy or obtain at least one rare
Get my name up in the top 1,000,000 (I know that this may seem kinda cheesy... but there are at least 3 million active accounts...)(Sooooooooooooo close I can taste it!)
Max all of the sats that I can

What are your goals (accomplished or not)/asperations? Go ahead and leave a comment and I'll post it!

Congratulations!

Not a new scam... But I was impressed nonetheless...

Jmembership8: Congratulations!
Me: Yeah?
Jmembership8: You have won a 5 year membership for runescape!
Me: Oh yeah? Lemme guess... i have to give you my password and location...
Jmembership8: Not your location.
Me: Ah... I see... and you're not trying to scam me?
Jmembership8: No. I'm giving out free memberships. I am an ex staff member of jagex.
Me: Nah... I don't think so
Jmembership8: Look, you're just wasting my time. I'm trying to give out memberships and you are just wasting my time.
Me: Okay... If you're an ex staff member of jagex, what are the jagex mod names?
Me: Tell me that names of the jagex mod names now
Me: Tell me or i'll report you
Me: 3
Me: 2
Me: 1
Me: Okay... you have been reported

The only reason I was impressed was because the person could spell. Most of the time when people are trying to scam me they don't spell correctly...

Now understand one thing... this guy saw me wearing full rune. Probably fishing swordies and lobbies... nah... I don't care who you are... you ain't getting my password. Not even you grandma... Sorry grandma, I still love you though.

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.

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...

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).
