  1. Being a member for at least 22 years I reckon I can. And in that time I've only ever used this site, the original and best, and joined it when I realised I could 10 years later. The other one's are inferior and are just copying.
  2. Seriously! Arrows and a bow and string? All these years I've thought I've been clever and sneaky with my magical secateurs ... all along I could have brought arrows, unstrung bow and string, although just the string is enough, with the trees there ... And runes you say? Jeez! Such basic travel and home teleports I've done coming back from there ... grr.
  3. You can store your magical secateurs (from Fairy Tale quest) with a leprechaun at any farming patch before you travel there, and then withdraw it from him at the farming patch there. They can be used as a weapon. Fairly effective. I'm going to try the arrows and bow/string.
  4. I have this note in my notes about that. Obviously it was a problem for me enough that I had to immortalise the solution in-game. I either got it from reading the quest on here (tipit) or I figured it out. If it makes sense to you. or something else from somewhere else does, I recommend writing it in a way that makes sense to you in your in-game notes. You'll probably need it again later for the next quest in the series or some other quest from the elves, or a task from Ardougne ... something like that. The relevant note/s is in orange font ^^ Best wishes.
  5. I was hunting Graahk for their fur to make the summoning pouches, to use their teleport because its handier than the fairy ring network for that location. That location is slightly closer to the Nature altar than the Karamja lodestone as well as the Amulet of Glory. The Shilo Village shortcut requires the elite Karamja tasks, which are out of my reach for some time, and a couple of those tasks are unappealing. Chompy bird hunting does use the Hunter skill, I'm not sure what you were meaning. I wasn't training Hunter skill, I was collecting furs for summoning pouches. The Big Game Hunter doesn't interest me. Dinosaurs don't really appeal to me. I also don't like to use other Runescape sites, only this one, as I have always done. There was a time when I was training Hunter, and for that I was giving it a go on whatever my level got up to, or for making the pie, or making whatever else required for this or that, collecting resources, or quests that require a certain level. I have looked at Runespan, especially because it is the only Aura I have left to purchase with my loyalty points. However, I don't like it. I have used the Wicked Hood teleport before, for crafting runes for my own use. It runs out pretty quickly. The other day I had a goal of making a nice stock of the runes I usually use and for upping my Magic skill later. Which I will do by fighting and quests. I made a lot of Air runes, the goal I had was more than the hood helped with. Then I went to make Nature runes, which I use a lot of for high alchemy on monster drops and useless inventory fillers, especially while fighting. I kept my eye out for closer teleports and while deciding on using up Summoning stuff, starting with the blue disks, to free up bank space and subsequently looking up what my level can make now, I found the Graahk pouch and that one of its uses is the teleport to ... near the Nature altar. The secondary ingredient is the fur, so I was like: ok lets do Hunting. Grabbed the stash of wild pie .. but found its not a Hunter booster anymore. I was so sure it was. I'm sure I used to use it to get up to the creature I needed for ... something I can't remember, possibly the creatures around the quests around the eagle area because of wanting to explore and access that area and the eagle travel. So maybe I had imagined it. I'm not doing ironman. While exploring alternative Obelisks rather than Taverly I saw the one south of Pictoris, and that one of the other fur pouches teleports to there. So yesterday I spent a few hours hunting Kyatt. I got a bunch, and took them and my remaining blue disks, a few dozen or so, to the Taverly obelisk, fused them, hit the space bar. I saw there were 2 furs still in my inventory, I automatically thought it was a round of makes, like arrows do, so I clicked on fuse again and spacebar ... that rotten, blasted thing! Turned the pouches into scrolls. Accidental. All that effort. I could say to myself: "just make some more" but that used up the last of my blue disks. Definitely not interested in specifically seeking out more blue, or other disks. I just collect them if they happen. I'm using up my Crimson disks next. I'll either make Smoke Devil or the snake one. Then, I'll have a go at Dungeoneering. I need 75 for the Plague's End quest. In between everything else I want to get done in real life ... Thanks very much for your help 🙂
  6. Thanks 🙂 Are you sure? Perhaps my memory is skewed because of using Hunter to make the Wild Pies. It doesn't seem logical though does it. Fish and Admiral Pies are made with fish and boost fishing. It doesn't match that the Wild Pies are made with game meat but boost Slayer and Ranged. I think it has been changed. What about regular Hunter potion, that would be something. Doesn't have to be super or extreme. I like that the pie also heals. I suppose I could mix the fish off-cuts into it, but that's only a small amount. Pity none of the beers have a Hunter boost. But there's a beer for Slayer. Doesn't seem fair. I tried my Legendary Tracker Aura. It seemed to improve the rate of trapping (Graahk), as well as the ratio of furs to tatty-furs. I have only tested a small sample, not yet 100. That was the thing I wanted to improve. I wanted them for making the Graahk pouches. The teleport feature is cool. Still not totally convenient for crafting Nature runes though. The Shilo shortcut would be the best but those Elite Karamja tasks are too much. Did it always require that, I don't remember that it did. By the way, I'm a player since 2001 and have a 20 year vet cape. However, I haven't played that whole time obviously.
  7. Hi there 🙂 Since when did the effects of Wild Pie change from a Hunter skill booster to a Slayer skill booster? I've been away for a year or so. I'm sure it used to be for Hunter! That's what I've always used it for, and automatically withdrew a bunch of them from my bank and took them to a hunting ground. Ate them, did my hunting, totally assuming it was boosting me ... Then after eating and hunting for about 4 or 5 sessions, I glanced at my skills panel and saw that my Ranged and Slayer were highlighted as increased, but not Hunter at all ... ! And the highlighting of affected skills thing seems to be kind-a new, or maybe I just haven't paid attention all these years. And I see "Wild ER Pie" has been added to the recipe book. I'm sure that wasn't there before. And that pie is not for Hunter either. Are any of the brews for Hunter? Is there another pie still, or variation of Wild Pie not listed in the recipe book yet, that is for Hunter? If it did used to be for Hunter and I'm not imagining that, then what is now for Hunter? I don't think I would have bothered making so many of those pies if I'd have known it was for Slayer .. 😕 While I'm here: I was in the Taverly dungeon fighting black dragons the other day minding my own business, and some rude person came along and interfered with all of my fights. I wouldn't have minded sharing and having one each but its really not cool to push in on my own one, the xp is less right? And I asked him nicely to stop but he kept on. There's like 300 worlds to find your own right, why do that? Terrible. Very poor sportsmanship.
  8. Thank you for your reply! :) I haven't got a necklace like that or any cleaner thingy. The necklace I wear for fighting is the amulet of glory. I was however, using the exquisite crossbow and the offhanded exquisite crossbow, but they are the weapons I was using for lesser demons in the past. There was nothing different about what I was wearing or using when I went to fight them upon my return. When I went on a low slayer task, even though I'm not low, to get back into the swing of things, it was those fiery monsters near the cockatrices and I realised they were dropping accursed or infernal ashes whatever, so the next time I went to fight those, I took my half used accursed urn and it did pick them up. I'm wondering if perhaps either my half used urn had a bug from being dormant for so long, or if infernal urns no longer also pick up accursed ashes, only infernal, and the lower prayer urn picks up the accursed. However, when I was fighting the lesser demons with it and it wasn't picking them up, I went and manually picked them up myself and they were named just 'ashes' and didn't have an option to scatter. These were the lesser demons in Taverly, outside the blue dragons' gate and across the bridge from the dwarfs. I will try them again with a freshly made infernal urn. Maybe the 'ashes' drops were one of those booby prize drops. I've done the quest whichever one it was to access the gem mine in shilo village. As well as monster drops, perhaps besides cave slime, and regular mining, I have seen with the gem mine, that emeralds are less frequent than rubies and diamonds now. Maybe they have become more valuable because of their use with Sign of the Porter IV, which is easier to make, get the energy for and uses less of those, than the porter 5/ruby. Divination was fairly/kinda new last time I played. A couple of more years has probably been enough time for the preference to develop. Fighting, if you can call it that, the cave bugs, crawlers and slime for eye of newt was cool because they're so low and I didn't need to bring food, and if I stuck to the bugs, no anti-poison either. So it's annoying now that the cata-green creatures are the better source, because I have to bring restore, and a bit of food, prayer potion to extend protection from magic, although they still affect me through the prayer, the little so and so's, I have to run around picking up my bolts, and they take longer to die. I guess it was good range practice. Has this site been around as long as Runescape? Although my profile says I joined in 2012, I'm pretty sure I've been using it for way longer. All my memories of playing go hand in hand with my memories of using this site, so that'd mean since around 2000 or 2001. Have an ingenious day.
  9. I'm sorry that I didn't write my explanation of what is going on with my urns well enough. Infernal urns that I had already made a lot of before I took my break a year or so ago, were complete with the activating rune on them. I took the half used one and some spare one's to fight lesser demons, as I had done often and many times before. The half used one didn't fill up. The ashes remained on the ground. I was then surprised that when I picked up the ashes manually, there was not an option to scatter them, because they were now just normal white ashes, they used to be a greenish yellow when I last played a couple of years ago, and the infernal urn used to collect them without me having to do anything except carry the urn in my inventory. I didn't leave it in the bank. So the ashes of lesser demons have changed. Perhaps the change is that infernal urns don't pick up lesser demon ashes? Perhaps the lower level prayer urn does? The next urn confusion I had was when I took my half used cooking urn from the past to go do some cooking, but didn't bring a spare. It started filling up the rest of the way from a small task of chopping up stuff into bowls, I think it was onions, or could have been mushrooms, either way I was surprised because I vaguely didn't remember that that task did any urn filling in the past. The urn filled up. So my next click on the bank after teleporting that urn, I took out a new urn, closed the bank interface and continued with the same task. The new urn (complete with rune activation - you can tell because it is coloured) did not initiate and did not start filling up until my next inventory full of cooking. The same thing happened with fishing and mining, if I didn't bring a spare, the next urn (withdrawn and held in my inventory) would not start filling up until the next inventory-full of activity after that. The nice thing I did find though is that now spare urns get squeezed into the same inventory space, numbered. They used to be all separate, so if you took a couple of spare unused urns, that would take up 3 spaces including the used one. Did I mention that I have a 15 year vet cape? I do know that urns don't fill up in the bank. I have been playing for some time. So I think there is a change in that if you don't have a spare urn with you, the next one won't fill up until the next round after that? And that infernal urns don't pick up lesser demon ashes, and lesser demon ashes have changed to white normal ashes that can't be scattered manually either. Ironic though that the tiny, much lower level imps' ashes can be collected by an urn or scattered. Thank you for the links to the new types of urns. I didn't know the information existed because it is not in the table of urns. I have however, found some information on them by looking through the in-game interface when making pottery. I tried doing an items search for divination fragments, and shark fragments and the other two I mentioned and they didn't turn up in the tip.it database. The game didn't have any obvious info on them either. I tried the search engine on the top right of the tip.it screen, but that didn't return anything either. Thank you for your information on that. One of the resources I went to get was eye of newt, I know you can just buy crates of them .. and unicorn horns/dust. My favourite place for getting all of those types of herblore things was the caves in lumbridge swamp - bugs, crawlers and slime. But when I went there, the new frequencies of those drops (lack of) were very disappointing. I went to the bestiary database and did an advanced search with drops and went through the whole list trying all of them that I am of level to, until I found that the catapo .. whatsisface green thing in edeville stronghold of whatsisface was the best one for eye of newt. No joy on unicorn horn/dust though, not in lumbridge swamp, hardly any anyway, so I then went into the forest and actually killed unicorns, which you might think is silly but I don't like doing that, cos they're traditionally nice creatures - one of my all time favourite movies is Legend with Mia Farrow and a very young, hot Tom Cruise, I saw it at the movies when it first came out when I was a teen. Another annoying thing I've found is that monster drops of gems don't get transported with Sign of the Porter anymore. Yes I am picking them up. No joy. Eye of newt picked up from a monster drop for example is getting transported, which proves that I am picking it up correctly. Only gems gotten while mining are getting transported. The other sort of change I'm finding, with gems, is that emeralds are less frequent, in mining, than rubies and diamonds, when it used to be more. Have they become more valuable than rubies and diamonds? I don't remember the rune plate body requiring a quest to wear it. I have done Dragon Slayer but I'm pretty sure I've had my rune plate body since before that. I do remember though that when I reached the stats required to wear the dragon platebody, I went to buy one and it said I needed the Monkey Madness to wear it, or perhaps even buy it. Which started my whole process of getting to Monkey Madness in the past. I don't know why a scimitar would have spurred me on to do Monkey Madness. Perhaps access to Ape Atoll, although I don't see anything special about that place I'd usually want. Thank you for your time, Dragon Slayer. Business and Logistics, in case you're wondering what I was studying, Diploma. And next year university for double major, Business and English/Creative Writing. I'll be 50 when I'm done. BobbieK xx.
  10. I've just returned to Runescape after a year or so, been studying. There's quite a few new things and then there's old things I'm getting around to that I didn't before. So I've come to Tip.it to look things up, because it's the place I've always come to since I started way back when .. (I have a 15 yr vet cape). I'm finding that not many or any of the new things are on here, and the changes to the old things aren't either. I'm wondering, have the usual updating people of the site gone on long service leave, or annual leave or some other holidays? If so, when will they be back? Things I've tried looking up: Urnsnew urns such as Divination and Farming,and why aren't my infernal urns picking up ashes from demons, and why can't I scatter ashes from demons?Why aren't my new urns initiating properly? When one fills up, the stuff that was filling it up before isn't filling up the new one, especially if I don't have a new one in my inventory ready to take over. The new one in my bank won't start filling up until I'm doing something with higher points/fill rate/percentageWhat is New Varrock? It's not on the in-game mapWhat are these 'fragments' I keep being told I've gained: Divination, Shark, Gemstone Golem, CamouflageAnd what are these Memory Strands?Catherby is all re-arranged!Where else besides Lumbridge Swamp and near Eagle Peak are the new bank chests? And why are they there?And I was brewing in the ghost place, Plasmyre whatsisface place, and had my ghostspeak amulet on so decided to ask the ghost assistant for some ale yeast. He said that'll be 5 ectotokens, I said OK and even though I didn't have any on me, payment was made. Maybe I had some in the bank he used. But I couldn't find them in my bank after, to see if I had any more. I guess they were all spent because the next time I was there he said I can't afford it, or don't have enough ectotokens or whatever. Pretty sure I remember they were in the bank when I had them. Are they now supposed to show up in my 'currency pouch' or something?I remembered that when I was playing a year or two ago, one of my goals was to do the monkey madness quest so that I could buy and wear a dragon plate top thingy armour. That was one of the first quests I went to go and finished upon returning. When I proudly then went to the exchange to buy it, I then found that it was the dragon schimitar that was usable after doing Monkey Madness. Did that change? Or was it that all along?And I'm frustrated that the monsters I used to go and fight for this or that resource, aren't dropping that resource very often anymore. I have found a few alternatives on this site. So I guess the monsters and their drops have been updated, but I've found no mention of the other stuff. I tried looking up other sites but this is the one that I trust. I don't feel comfortable going somewhere else. Thanks for your time. BobbieK.
  11. Has there ever been or is there really an 'exclusive VIP members forum?'. Gold premier club subscription promised such a thing but I don't see it anywhere. I know that this site is not Jagex, but I am wondering if anyone else here has gone looking for it and found it, or not.
  12. yes that is the one, thankyou
  13. What kind of 'special boots' do I need to cross a slippery log? it's not the boots of lightness.
  14. monsters like dragons I don't fight for farming, I fight them for the thrill and the thrill of the drop. Back in the old days .. "when I was a lass .." it was a thrill to fight Moss Giants and collect that muddy key and run to the lava maze, fight the demon and open the chest and get rubies and pizza. Dragons are THE fantasy aren't they? I'm like: "wow look what I got! and I nearly died!"
  15. Ever heard the song "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to"? Probably the same thinking behind the American crew of those who created the celebration on Runescape. I'm not American and the celebration doesn't bother me. However, I do find it odd when some of these celebrations and events, and particularly their costumes, don't exactly go with the era Runescape is themed to be set in - kind of distracts from the fantasy.
