I'm pretty sure the Black Areas mean areas that aren't in the game yet. If nothing was going to be put in those areas, they would just end the map, wouldn't they? Bingo, you answered your own question. If they never intended to add anything where the black areas are, wouldnt it make more sense to just put the finishing touches and add shorelines or whatever they need to do to to close it off instead of ending it so abruptly as they have done? My guess is, the black spots are there to hide whatever is in those areas until they are finished, so we don't see this stuff and try to play with it while its in development.

What I meant by that was, maybe the land expansion between piscatoris and Gnome stronghold would be used as another path to Isfadar in the future, not that mep3 would necessarily tied to that quest or to the Hunter Skill. I suppose I wasn't really clear on that, since I changed my mind about different things at least 15 times as I was writing this.

According to the November Behind the Scenes article, the Hunter Skill will be released this month, and there will be some area expansions to support this new skill. See below: So naturally we all want to know, where will these areas be? I took a look at the world map today, and I found plenty of areas which are due for an expansion. This is just speculation, but I found some interesting possibilities. So without any further delay, here's my list: 1. Feldip Hills Chompy hunting may be the only clue we have to what the Hunter Skill will have in store for us. Based on the poll of 04-September the population of Runescape could care less about ogres, but it would make sense to see an expansion to the south of here where new birds are hunted. 2. Port Phasmatys Here we have a possibility of travelling to the "Eastern Lands" that have been hinted at in some quest, and on top of that more open space to the south. As far as what players would hunt here, your guess is as good as mine. :roll: But another possibility to this is that it could lead to the next Myreque quest and an update to: 3. The Sanguinesti Region This would probably be the largest area expansion if it were updated for the Hunter Skill. The chance seems rather slim on this one though, because it would most likely be updated for another Myreque quest rather than hunting. 4. Trollweiss Mountain Area There's a nice little square cut out here, which would be a good spot for an icy plain or something. This would also enable Jagex to add mammoths and other such creatures that they promised us a while back. 5. Isfadar What we have here is a swamp that gets cut off, with a little green path to the west which might run around it. I personally wouldn't go hunting in a swamp for real, but knowing Jagex, they will probably introduce to us some "swogres" or something. 6. Prifddinas Prifddinas seems like its been waiting a long time for some buildings or something to be put in there. As of now, it's an empty city with two paths leading to it, and a quarter of it is missing. This is a long shot, but Mournings End Part 3 might even involve some hunting, which would explain the wait. 7. Piscatoris Fishing Colony This one is a given, based on the Behind the Scenes article: If you take a look at the world map, you'll see this area is not far from the Isfadar region, and the two areas could conceivably be connected sometime down the road. 8. West of Miscellanea There's an interesting little chunk cut out of the sea here between Miscellanea and Lunar Island. I can't imagine why that would be, unless Jagex plans to throw in another island in there. 9. South of Uzer Finally we come to the desert region, which is huge. We have Uzer, we have desert lizards, and we have the city of Nardah, all right next to.. absolutely nothing. An extension of the coastline wouldn't add much room, but maybe Jagex could add a dungeon or another small town about the size of Nardah. 10. Menaphos/Sophanem area There is a ton of land that could go here. There is at least one unifinished coastline in this area, maybe two, and then theres the River Elid, which comes to a sudden halt at the southern end of Menaphos and Sophanem. If I'm not mistaken, Menaphos is empty and inaccessible, and the two cities are surrounded on three sides by a nice thick black fog where nothing has been added yet. Overall it looks pretty bad, the way the southern half of the desert is suffocating. So let's hope something is coming here soon.

It just might. Personally im raising my agility instead. I figure no matter how it works, the hunter skill has to have some running around involved, so a few agility lvls couldnt hurt.

if you did it that way, you wouldnt be able to max slayer without going 13mil over the minimum in melee skills.

i dont see that happen to me often. only time i can think of is when i got distracted at 98 fletching and it took me several months to get to 99 from there

only things that i can use elsewhere if i dont need them for hunter. gp, logs, runes, stuff like that.

Nah, i dont think that would be too overpowered or anything. actually, i think it would be useless. Players mostly use house tablets over others because they can use portals to get anywhere they need to go and only use one inventory space. I couldnt see much use to them, except that i could then hold 30 house tablets in one space in my inventory :roll:

aww... What a pity. And on top of that, my thread got killed on the first response :cry:

I'm wondering if anyone kept their halloween candy from last year. I collected a ton of it, only to drop it for bankspace. And that's a real pity, because it would be awesome to still have them just for the bragging rights. For those who don't know: the halloween candy was part of last year's halloween update. If i'm not mistaken, you got it by pickpocketing or something like that, then you could give them to children and they would be your best friend forever \ The candies were untradeable because jagex tends not to like discontinued items and didnt want any more of them added to the game. by now it has to be pretty rare, possibly rarer than phats, but without the massive cash value. so it would give you some insane bragging rights, if anyone besides me cares at all. Looking back at the news article, i couldnt find anything mentioning the candy. i probably got some or most of the details wrong too, so anyone who's smarter than me is welcome to tell me where i messed up so i can fix it. also i'd like to see pics if anyone still has some candy from back then.

As someone else already said, paul's response doesn't constitute a definite answer to your question. It's like saying to your best friend, "No, buddy, of course I didnt drive your car into the river." But you dont tell him that, technically, the body of water in question was a lake

See my avatar? that's the icon.. :roll: Anyway, jagex is probably doing a better job hiding their Hunter Skill documents this time, since they didnt seem to appreciate players finding their "secret" construction images and guides or whatever, and they locked all the threads on the official forum that told how to find them, and told players they shouldnt be poking around looking for these things.

If i was playing pest control, id consider getting the armor for my house, besides that i'll stick to combat exp

Fletching and quests. I also intend to get capes for fishing and cooking some time in the nearish future.

Here's the problem: I'm doing rat catchers, and I lost my cat. It got stuck behind the wall after it killed the king rat, so I figured I'd leave and it would show up behind me, but it didnt. Normally i could buy a new one and its no big deal. But if I try to get another cat Gertrude tells me I need to finish raising the one I already have. I looked in my bank, even went back to the place where I left my cat, and I can't figure out what to do. Any ideas? EDIT: I figured it out the moment I hit the post button

id love to have an agility cape, especially if it helps me recharging run energy. ill be able to get the fletching cape and the quest cape easy enough, so those will be the first ones i get.

"Again?" What do you do, kill him just for fun? Anyway, I don't often use the auto retaliate button too often, so i couldnt tell you if its any better where it is now.

The new popup stat screen has your weight! :) That kind of bothers me. Is weight really an equipment bonus? I think not; your inventory affects it too. The other thing I don't like is, run energy updates every 3 or 4 seconds, instead of more instantly like it used to. It shows drops of several percentage points at once sometimes, depending on what you weigh. You might say its just something I wont mind after I get used to it.. dont. I hate that about prayers too :uhh:

I'd sell everything in my bank, buy as many rares as i could and go train agility until jagex finally heeds all the death threats players send them.

well lets see.. you can stand in the middle of a fire and not feel a thing. you can talk to other players while you wear a monkeyspeak amulet. the underground pass has a cavern with narrow paths of stone over a drop so long you can't see the bottom, yet you can get up right away and keep going if you fall off. A teensy little hammer will kill a gargoyle. a large heavy awkward stone axe will not. the economy is largely based on people buying raw materials to make products, knowing that they will end losing a pile of money in the process. you can walk around in a city of vampires giving an infinite number of blood tithes, if you find yourself needing more blood you can eat a piece of fruit. equipped weapons, climbing boots, berserker helmet, obsidian shield, metal gloves and a fire cape will all increase your strength in combat. How do you fight? Apparently you attack with the weapon while throwing the shield, punching, kicking, headbutting, and using the cape to choke your enemy, all at the same time. There are numerous potato recipies ingame, and no fries. Also several different pies, including two which have fish heads sticking out, yet somehow creme pie hasn't been thought up. A weird dude in Yanille and the sandbox in his backyard will provide you with all the sand you could ever need, but you can't retrieve sand from the vast desert.

if there was any decent profit on them at all, it would die pretty fast, because a ton of 'professional' fire capers would emerge and keep getting them until it wasn't worth it anymore.

i never have a few hours at a time where i can sit down and get one.. i guess i oughta be on the list :-s edit: almost forgot - my runeweb sig is off. im 111 combat #-o

I suppose I'll tell you my dark secret. I have 588 uncrushed bird nests and counting.. also 5 spirit seeds and 18 bird eggs - 3 green, 4 red, 11 blue. \

Usually I'm skilling. If I'm not doing that, I'm either trying to finish my quest list (only 5 left \ ) or I'm at the barrows.

I dunno about 'fair'. It would make for some interesting pures though :ohnoes:
