It bothers me a lot whenever I hear the phrase "it's just pixels". It is true that while the pixels have no inherent value in-of themselves, they do represent real time invested. Being angry over losing many millions is perfectly reasonable, especially if you happen to be a lower level who has spent many, many, many hours accumulating wealth. Think for a second or two before saying "Your time, because it is represented as Runescape gold, is worth nothing" to another. -Recksash

It's mostly just habit, but it can be helpful in longer posts where you can't see the avatar. -Recksash (lol)

Jagex has promised in this year of updates to revitalize older areas. I feel that they have made an excellent start. The area of Dorgesh-Kaan was one of the largest and most detailed areas in Runescape, but no one was ever there! With the addition of a training area and an agility arena as well as adding a faerie teleport, Jagex has breathed new life into this once abandoned city. The city may not be as crowded as it was at the start of the quest, but I feel that after this update, there will be noticeably increased activity in this city. What are your thoughts? -Recksash

Hmmm, but you could have spent that time picking flax/fishing/woodcutting or any number of more profitable activities. Granted, scavenging may be slightly more interesting, but it's pretty much a waste of time. Sorry to burst your bubble. Maybe you could try doing something usually safe and profitable on a PvP world, adding excitement? E.G High alching in a hotspot? -Recksash

Everything. From noob to today, I could look back on my RS career. Would be amazing. -Recksash ps. title doesn't need an apostrophe /anal streak

Ok, thanks! I'll give them a try -Recksash

I would just like some simple pros/cons please Searched through the forums, but havn't really found anything clear-cut. So is graahk-craftin simply superior in every way? Or do you make less money but more experience? Or what? Just a simple explanation would be greatly appreciated -Recksash

Oh I see. Thanks guys! -Recksash

The money doesn't bother me, its the blue charms. I get one for like every 50-100 crims... -recksash

For Combat purposes, is there a noticeable difference between the two? I've already spent 5 valuable blue charms on the kyatt, and wasn't planning on making more on the road to 61 summoning. But if the Karamthulu is considerably better, I might make a few of them to speed my kills. So help me out so I don't need to waste charms! Thanks! -Recksash

[hide=] [/hide] I'm sorry waheera, but these were solid articles, and you should not criticize them. I do sympathize with you somewhat on article one. However, even if it didn't say much, it was very well put. Article Two was brilliant and amusing. You can't just simply put "why" at the end of it, and expect people to think you're witty! Article Three was an excellent short story, one that I enjoyed reading. Your "critique" basically just said "It didn't make sense" over and over again. Yet the story was contiguous and self-explanatory. It was very clear, and even managed to have a satisfactory ending. Article Four did lack direction. The writer couldn't seem to make up his mind if he was critiquing himself, or the hunting skill. But some good imagery in there, like when the imaginary skill cape was described. Article Five was more coherent than you give it credit for. Tripsis was simply trying to show that the Construction cape isn't as simple as making a lot of oak larders. Again, using large words, and throwing "why?" into the mix make a critique doth not. -Recksash ps. was the Genie inspired by the one from Terry Pratchet's books?

This is really well thought out. It would give me somewhat of an incentive to level thieving and would add a distraction and diversion. Support. -Recksash

How would bots not be able to train efficiently? Wouldn't all you have to do is have multiple bots, near a spawn point, constantly dds specing each other to death, respawning, and then dying again? -Recksash

This game is mad fun! If you like turn by turn strategy games you should give it a try. A cool strat I've been wanting to try is mass necromancers+barbs. The barbarians die, make bones, an are turned into skeletons. Their initial speed is higher than skeles, they're cheaper, and the can capture! I'm not sure how viable this is though tbh. One thing that bothers me however is that higher level units absolutely destroy anything below them. I guess a white knight is 2.5X more powerful than a werewolf, but I don't think 2.5 (one has half hp), or even 3 werewolves can kill a knight. Whatever... -Recksash

*Coughedityourfirstpostcough* Other than that, interesting topic, but most people are just going to say "bank my items". Maybe if when you died you lost 1/2 your bank?In that case, I would hide in my house.But for a more interesting answer, I would hide on Trollweiss mountain =p With tele runes... -Recksash

Ummm, bank my items? And probably stop playing for the day*. Not much to do when you can't carry more than a few items. *Just because I can't log out doesn't mean that I can't leave my computer lol -Recksash

Is the problem that, according to Jagex, the rare market is declining? I think I"m missing something here... -Recksash

Problem solved -Recksash

Why have watermelon seeds [bleep]ed over the past month? Was there a precipitating event? Or do people just have more money to throw at farming now? -Recksash

The word "vial" can be applied to many things. My question is, how large is a Runescape vial? This question bothers me because a vial (in Runescape) must be rather large to contain 3 valuable doses of potion right? But the word "vial" indicates something quite small, maybe small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand. You can't really take 3 swigs from something the size of your thumb. Are the vials in Runescape just over sized? Then how are they different from beakers/bottles/pitchers/etc? These properties seem to be mutually exclusive to me, and are therefore perplexing. So I'm asking you, the Tip.it community to help me make sense of this. -Recksash

Has anyone looked at the crazy weapons you can use in-game? http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarti ... cle_id=835 Class 5 scimitar gives +225 slash and +75 strength Class 5 Bow gives +225 range bonus. But you know what? The items stay in-game though I"m pretty sure =/ -Reck edit* Oops, I see this was already mentioned, sorry This really looks like fun, I just wish the rewards were something I could use...

oh... you have to fill it up? I just bought a few from chaeldar, thought they were ready to go, where can I fill them up? -Recksash

I red-bar one, recieve the message "It's on it's last legs, finish it off" , then use use fungicide on it. It says "nothing interesting happens" and I can't kill the dang thing! Also, I was assigned "mutated zygomites" which apparently (according to tip.it bestiary and RS knowledge base) don't exist. So I just went and tried to kill some regular ones. Please help me, this puts a real kink into my (admittedly nooby) slaying!! -Recksash

First off I would like to say that I don't PK, and this question is not a joke. I would also like to say that this question is primarily directed at those who do. But I do think the answer varies depending on opinion, which is why I put it in General and not Help and Advice. Anyway... I was reading the "PvP 'safing'" article, and most people who disagreed with Safing, basically said that it leads to a longer battle. The more food you eat, the longer the fight goes on, the more potions you use. The general opinion I got was that any fight-prolonging techniques (praying, safing) waste both parties' time. That being said, why eat or pray at all in PvP? The fight duration would be drastically shortened, and everyone wastes less time, potions, and food. If you win, good for you. You got lucky and used no food or prayer, and (hopefully) made a quick profit. If you read my entire post, please post "184" in you message. Thanks. If you lose, better luck next time. =(. But at least your death was quick, right? And now you can be back on your feet twice as fast! So sorry If I'm missing something obvious here, but I would appreciate an answer. -Recksash

Full green robes and omni-staff. Now to show it off -Recksash
