Whenever I visit the RS forums or even the tip.it news articles, I see tons of people whining and complaining about this update or that update or that JaGex has lied to us. So JaGex decided to introduce "buy spins" for the populare/unpopular (depending on who you talk to or believe) Squeal of Fortune. This is no matter what they (JaGex OR the players), a micro-transaction and real world trading (RWT was (and is) against JaGex's rules) People are not supposed to be able to buy their way to succes
I've noticed that there are a fair number of bugs with the Tip.it blog's teasers / summaries. In an attempt to correct some of those bugs for myself I wrote the following Greasemonkey userscript. If anyone decides to use this code, leave a comment to let me know how you think it works, or if there is anything else to add. Thanks.
...in members. I mean, wow. I know it will get boring after I finish all the quest and get 65+ stats, but wow. There is just so much to do. This game is jammed pack with content that I think, justifies it's cost 9in terms of money). So for my first week of members I did skill and monster hunting. I had planned to do a lot quest, but I forgot just how much some quest can suck. Fremennik Trials was fun, but long... and got frustrating. But the real frustrating part wasn't the quest, it was the m
As stated here, I finally got 99 slayer. This leaves just three more skills to get to 99 for a max cape. These past few months have been rather incredible for me, getting so many 99s in such rapid succession. In some ways, I should have expected it to eventually happen, but at the same time I find it funny that I could have done the same thing many years ago if I wasn't so stubborn and got members back in the day. I don't regret those years on F2P though. It's helped me avoid making one of t
1. Novice quests should be accessible to novices. It makes sense for players to do low-level quests when they're low-level. The vast, vast majority of players begin playing the free game. They don't subscribe off the bat. By making low-level content accessible to free players, you make it more likely that players will encounter it at the correct level to appreciate it. This is a good thing, yes? 2. It means putting the game's best foot forward. RuneScape's gameplay is nothing special for a
Last time I told you all about how I was striving for 70+ in all skills. Well, I've been gradually making progress at that, albeit slow. Especially the skills I dislike the most take a lot of time. I prefer to use my sometimes limited scaping time to do fun things. For example, I like to runespan, because that's mostly afk and I can take the time to pay attention to the dearly beloved HYT! friend chat. Because runespanning is so easy, I am thinking of getting my first 99 in runecrafting. But I d
Since my fiancee and I broke up I've done a lot of thinking about life. I have to say, I'm a happier person now than I have been for years. I don't think it's necessarily because we're not together anymore, mind. Frankly, a lot of it's to do with my improving health. But anyway, I've come to a conclusion about what I really think the purpose of life is. When I was younger, I was such a cynical stoic that my opinion was the only purpose in life was to continue life. But here goes: Life is short.
Did a clue, got a terrible reward, as usual. I then decided enough was enough, and powered through the last 30 or so Temple Trekking levels. Worked out that the exp from the lamps would push me over to 95 Summoning, so that's what I did. Only two tasks to go, both requiring a Fire cape. So I did the only logical thing, went and tried for a Fire cape. And I didn't get it. Got distracted and a 360 hit me. So I tried again. And I didn't get it. Jad's new since I've last seen him, so I d
Jagex is a troll. A very evil troll. Today had plans to log on and do dungeon and mining when I was "informed" I qualify for 2 week free members trial. Now in two weeks I was gonna go members. I also remember the last time they informed me, I today them I was not ready, and I never saw that pop up again. So since I was going to do it soon, I figured I'd go ahead and tell them yes. It's free, and while finals are coming up, I don't expect it to distract me anymore than it already does. Besides, I
Finals are coming up soon as I now have just two more weekends before I grind the entire week of final towards passing my classes. So far I am passing with thou I know I can do better. So while I still attempt to mine 1k coal a day, I won't be surprised if I failed to do so. I have the level I need to make chaos runes when I go members in about 2 weeks, but I will use the AFK time I have to getting 75 runecrafting since at 74 I can get x2 the chaos runes. Sadly, it seems I won't be getting 80 mi
It's okay if you don't know what these headbands mean. But right now, the most nerdy thing has interrupted my life. I'm talking about Humans Verse Zombies, aka HvZ. Explaining HvZ here would take a while, so I encourage my readers (which to my knowledge is just Kaida) to read all about it on Wiki if they wanna know what it is about. I am actually happy about this game. At first, I wasn't gonna play, but I signed up at the last minute and then willingly died to become a zombie. KILL ALL HUMANS!
Skittles. Disgusting, aren't they? I want to ban them from the World, have them stamped out. In fact, why just want? Let's do it! Join my Campaign today to ban Skittles! Be worried though. Ashley will devour your soul if you support. I will devour your soul if you do not support. Good fight your soul. R.I.P
So I haven't update this for a while since right after my midterm, I went into preparing for my paper for my African-American Lit class, which disappointingly, I didn't really hit the grind on until this weekend. However, during my a little over the week long absence I've gain a lot of lvls. Thanks to the firemaking update, woodcutting/fire making has taken the place of runecrafting. In any event here is a slightly updated track of my lvls. Defense: 72 --> 75 (actual) Constitution: 72 -
Heh.. I have a loan out with Provident at the moment, which means I pay them back a certain amount each week for the cash in hand they gave me when I started the loan. I have always paid them back without fail. I HAD 100% credit rating. So my parents have loans out with them too. They pay back at the same time. To make it easier, I give my dad the money I pay provident so he can pay them all at the same time. Today.. money is looking a bit dire. I've been debating getting £100 to put in th
Since my last post I didn't do any difficult quests. No amazing adventures to tell about. Instead, I have been grinding away at one of my longer-term goals: getting all skills 70+. Part of this is slayer-assignment-avoidance, since I've been tasked with Iron Dragons. Anyway, some time ago I managed to earn some good money with all that double-rune-morytania-legs-stuff down at the Barrows, so I bought myself some oak planks, moved my poh to Taverly and started making oak larders to level construc
So I knew my uncle Gary was going to be in my town this weekend to visit his girlfriend, and I asked my mom to ask him to stop by my store while I was at work. (I haven't seen him in two years, figured a phone call out of the blue would be awkward.) He came by and we talked a bit about life and goings-on and such other silly small talk. He offered to take me out to dinner after my shift was over, and as a 22-year-old working retail I'm obviously not one to refuse a free meal, so out to dinner we
Personally I love the new Runespan, it has helped me level what was an incredibly tedious skill. Many have said that it's existence devaules their achievements, but I disagree with this senitiment. Skill capes and levels only have the value that the person who achieved them has placed on them, so no one other than the account owner can devalue their achievements. This is not just my personal opinion, but cold hard logic. My skills and levels have value because I say they do. No one can devalue t
Okay guys! im MrClawz => (ingame) Bunicorn ID (which i will probably change back to my old name...) I am 13 years old, play b-ball, and like photography (havent gone indepth though)...

Thanks, Runespan! Good week. Also finished off another Elite task. Only have to get a Fire cape, a Summoning level and do a bunch of Temple Trekking, then tasks are gone. Though it looks like I'll be taking a break from Runecraft soon, maybe going to try getting 99 Magic with someone. Catch you next time, ~Dax.
Hey buddy, got any spare runes? Sir? Could you maybe spare a few runes? I've fallen on some hard times lately. Lost my job. Lost my home. Can barely feed my family. Any runes you could give me would help, any at all. Spare runes, miss? How about you there, ma'am? I noticed you've been siphoning those blood esswraiths for two hours now. Surely you've got some runes to spare for a poor old man who's had some hard luck? Will give runecrafting xp for runes. Hey buddy, spare runes? N
