Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Arrows: + easy to buy in mass amounts (just go to an f2p server arrow store, got me last night 41k in no time for a pretty ok price) + Cheaper than knives + More accurate - Slower - Can't wear a shield Knives: Well, pros and cons being opposite to arrows. I've personally used iron arrows from 95 to 98 (680k to 99) ranged, but I know many people who use knives. There's not a huge difference between them anyways.

I'd call myself somewhat old school. Started in early 2001 and already was 65 combat when Dragon slayer was introduced.

Can't really put them into any order, it depends about my current view. Also it's pretty hard to pick up only 5 songs from Metallica. Creeping Death Battery Master of Puppets Fight fire with fire Motorbreath

Metallica, Iron Maiden and Burzum. Metallica = Got me into more radical music. Ok, Metallica itself isn't anything too radical, but it opened me the gates to the world of metal music. Without Metallica I most likely wouldn't listen to any of the bands I'm now doing. Iron Maiden = A bit same thing as with Metallica, except it taught me what beautiful music and great instrumental skills are. For 3 years I've been thinking to get a tattoo with Eddie at it. Burzum = Not just the music, but also all the writings made by Varg Vikernes have changed my worldview a lot. If you ask me, this man's a true genious. Go ahead and start arguing how he killed Euronymous (great musician btw) or burnt some churches, it doesn't change the fact that he got great ideas.

Isn't that pretty much the same as saying an abortion isn't killing because the baby doesn't really feel it and isn't fully developed yet?

For 2 years I've been thinking either "weak men threaten - true men act" text or one Iron Maiden stylish pic with a finnish flag in it. Not gonna show a pic tho as I don't want anyone to steal my idea before I get it :P I might take one next summer, depending my economical situation.

Paolo Coelho for sure. Alchemist was the best book I've read this year and this year I've read 21 books.

If you ask me, people should get paid for their abilities to work. If you aren't strong enough for certain work, you should find another job. No matter did you have a 5cm extra skin between your legs or not.

So, yankees are going to give one more martyr for the parties which are still loyal to Saddam. Hopefully it doesn't run Iraq into even worse condition.

I don't get it why people complain that certain capes are useless. In my eyes, their main function is to show off that you've actually achieved something. They are status symbols just like party hats, except for these you need skills instead of pure cash.

Dmonik was long the best smither out there and Twy really did race Blue to 85. For a while there was 2 true smithers, Twy and blue. For me those reasons are good enough to call Dmonik&Twy legends.

* Krest = Got to 99 smithing and got his xp dropped so he went back to lvl 90 because he had borrowed his account to a mate when the real owner was away. * M Oldfield = Quit, still occasionally checking these boards. * Dmonik = quit * Twy = quit * Gormis = Got to 99 smithing the legit way, later got banned because he gave his account away.

I would recall M Oldfield, Twy, Krest, Gormis and Dmonik being pioneers of smithing, not Musashi. This hiscore pic is uncropped so I don't post img tags, but I hope it gives you idea why I don't see Musa as a real pioneer: http://koti.mbnet.fi/hohtava/vanhoi/smith.PNG I'm also positive you weren't there when Blue hit her 99 smith. Why? Because here's a pic and she's alone:

I'm impressed to find my name from this thread, would have never thought of me being a legend. Anyways it's a good thing to have these threads here once in a while. Without these, the true legends would be forgotten. They were the ones who made RS what it is now.

Got banned for autoing at the ghosts at Melzar's maze.

dunno if there's a real nat running world like there's for airs and laws, but look at rs official boards. There's a lot of runecrafters offering their service for runners. Personally I would rather craft those nats than buy them.

Of course everyone's an unique person. Some of us can play days nonstop to achieve something, some of us can't. Good thing if you've managed to survive that long without boredom, but watch out: you aren't even half way to 99 yet :P

Lately I bought this software to transfer some movies to my iPod. Well, on every movie file I try to transfer to my iPod I get an error message saying "Please connect your iPod to your computer." When I click OK, it just shows the same error message. This happens every time at 96%. Any tips how to solve this problem?

Even if there was only bones and sleeping bad, Anttila would still have had a lot more honor than you ever had.

I remember that hippy. Anyways there's a lot of familiar names, but even more names you could add. Ss Killer Waltteri Magic Vendor Everdred Mysticsmagic Sir Beachy Erixson Krest Dmonik

Iron Maiden - The trooper Slayer - Angel of Death Hurriganes - Get on

I've seen here many various guides how to train a certain skill, but not how to actually motivate yourself to train. I've also noticed how many people have set theirself goals which they never managed to achieve. These were the main reasons why I decided to write a guide how I've managed to get myself 1943 skill total+125combat (1.4k+110 at rsc). I hope this guide helps someone to achieve some of their goals. 1. Set yourself a goal This is the most important thing. To achieve something, you must first something to achieve. The goal, whatever it is, it must be realistic. I personally laugh at these dudes who are shouting it loud how they are going to get 99 mining just by mining essences or something. A good goal isn't something that takes you ages to reach. I for example have made my combat levels one by one; first set myself a goal of 123, after it trained some other stats, then 124, went back to other skills and then 125. I would have just burnt out if I had tried to go straight from 122 to 125. Just because you want to get 99 runecrafting, it doesn't mean you should set it as your main goal when you are 43 rcer. Just set smaller "checkpoint goals". Make sure you are really ready to work to reach your goals. My own principle is that if I've promised something, even to just myself, I'll keep it. I've done 2 comebacks to RSC just because I wanted to reach goals I had set ages ago. 2. Balance your training Title might be a bit misleading, but I hope you got the point from the text. First of all, you shouldn't do any overtraining. Training 12 hours nonstop might be good for few days, but I tell you it's not worth it in a long run. You'll just burn out. The right amount of training per day depends on person. Some people can do that 12 hours/day without any problems, I personally can do max 6. Just because you have time to train X amount of hours, it doesn't mean you should train that much. For me, my training speed drops a lot if I do the same thing over and over. For example for me I get more xp by keeping few breaks once in a while than training non stop. My only overtraining times are when I'm really close to the goal. Usually my training records are from the last days before reaching my goal. That's because I am so close to reaching my goal that it doesn't really matter if I don't feel like training it tomorrow and because I really want to reach my goal. 3. Get your thoughts away from training. It's important to do other things while training. Watch movies, read books, do your homework, play guitar, listen to music, anything. Just because you are doing something else it doesn't mean you should be away from the keyboard. You can play guitar while killing abyssal demons, read while selling barrow armours and so on. By concentrating too much on training, you'll just get bored. Boredom is the magic word for killing training motivation. To avoid that, do other things while training. I personally like reading, watching movies, listening to music and talking at irc. For example when I went for 80 runecrafting, I watched probably tens of hours of different document movies. When I trained agility, I read Da Vinci Code. Point your tv right or resize your media player's window so watching a movie doesn't even slow down your training. 4. Right place and items. Some might have put this higher on their lists, but I personally didn't feel like doing it. For me it's more important to actually train right than train at right place with right equipment. To find the right place and items, compare the amount xp gotten in one hour, the item waste (food, runes, arrows, etc), risks and the amount of other players. Most of the really fast, nonrisky and "cheap" spots are totally filled up with other people. Some places are really fast, not crowded and not risky, but they waste a lot of supplies. It's up to you what do you prefer. Just make sure you are ready to face to convos at your place with your items. I personally laugh at those people who complain how they can't make profit at abyssal demons with the current whip price. I got 1 sentence for them: Learn to train or go away. I personally did 87 slayer with really small amount of cannonballs. That was because I thought it's actually faster to train without it than with it and trying to earn enough money to supply the cannonballs. 5. Do some calculations. For a while I though to put this before items&places. It's surprising how helpful some calculations actually are. Forgetting to calculate certain things have slowed me down so much that it's hard to believe. The keywords are time, cost and profit. Some ways seem to be good money wise, but they take so long that in that time you could have earnt enough money to do the same xp with better items. I personally did this mistake with iron ores: I thought rings of forging were good as they were cheap and smithing them was rather fast xp. Well I didn't time the smelting part. As whips were 6m each and I had 85+ slay, I could have earnt enough money in that time to train my smithing with adamantite bars. 6. Keep a blog. A blog can help you to motivate. You can make a public blog for example to these boards or keep the info on yourself. I personally counted every task I got and every rune (or better) drop I got while I went for 85 slayer. That way I could see which days were bad and why, did I need to do something on a different way and so on. 7. Remember that it's just a game Many times I've seen people acting like RS is more than just a game. They rather stick at it doing nothing than take a total break from it. Some years ago I had this kind of a period. All I did was hang out at rs doing nothing. If rs had been my work, a doctor would have said I had a burnout. I stopped being a moderator at these boards, took a few month break and when I came back, I came with another character. After these steps, it was fun to play again with Hohto. A few month break of course delays your goals, but sometimes it's a must. We play this game because it's fun to play, not because we have to. If it isn't fun, there's always an option: log out and do something else. That's a better choice than make yourself totally quit the game because it's anything but fun. -Varg Vikernes

How much rc xp does that system give per hour?

If you ask me, holocaust is more likely to be a hoax than moon landing.
