Pro caller
People trade in dungeoneering to give items? :blink:

So like...
This just happened:
ALMOST RECORD FLOOR IN SO MANY WAYS :wall: . My fastest floor ever, and wasn't a speed team either, esp. since I was on the team lol. No one was recording but dat was gud.
EDIT: K so I don't know much about how records are determined but this might be record.

Very happy. Still 1.3m xp until the midway point though..
Pics of cape (My first 99 and second skillcape (also have QPC) so I'm a bit excited):
Grats, n here's a little somethin' somethin' for the pics thread myself :thumbsup: .
^Double 99 Dungeoneerings, same floor :shades: . Only took 7 days to get 6m xp :).
"Now get 100." lol. On it cap'n.
And here are a few of the floors that were good from 93-99 that I decided to screenshot:
Did quite a few sub 13s, a few sub 12's too and one was [bleep]ed up by me not gating n running around aimlessly my first day as a recruit in DGS :(. Prob would've been 9:30-10:30 dungeon.
I would like to add that I've also gotten 12:10 warp. I didn't screenshot it but considering it's warped fl, it's fast.
Faster floors and better death ratios to come :P. Just need 100 now, and then it's on to 120 and 200M :twisted: . 3 months for 120 pl0x.

TBH; this is but a tip of the iceberg...
How far do you think Jagex (or the investors) will actually take this, though? It's going to take a lot for them to release an update that can get much worse than this. They'd have to release full blown micro-transactions where you buy a blue phat for $1k or something ridiculous like that.
Come to think of it, what if there were product placement in RuneScape? That would be pretty horrible playing an advertisement. I can see it now...
You should reread my post. Read the bold lettering carefully, and see the year progression of Insight Venture Partner's control..
Your bolded text seems to have been removed from the wikipedia article and the article locked due to the revision that added that anyway - I'm doubting whether that is true of Insight. Their webpage doesn't seem to suggest anything of the sort
There's some-odd stuff somewhere about MapleStory having the same issues as Rs is today (IVP owns shares there too). Loads of bots, microtransactions, no true players being all that happy..
Can't remember exactly what, cbb to grab it (did enough of that recently), and you're absolutely right but what company would want a bad rep? They probably removed that on purpose. And I would not doubt that the whole ex-chairman of Goldman Sachs thing is true. *points to rl economy*.

I remember back when people didn't want to make videos to help others just to get more popular, instead they just kept methods to themselves or let out the secrets to a select few.
Granted this is hardly a secret, and not even close to good money anymore thanks to videos like this.
Thumbsdown in terms of the quality of it being groundbreaking. Videos don't make a guide by my standards either. I like that long, thought out, well-explained post with the pictures. Ones that used to exist in Aow a lot.
Oh well. Maybe next time you'll teach everyone something that isn't known =P.
EDIT: To comment on the merch thing..
Merchanting involves strict participation with the community, player-to-player, yields massive profit, and is harder work (social relations required, also doesn't exist with the GE).
Flipping involves quick-sales for small profit (under normal circumstances at least, usually determined by item value and %'s). <- what your video is.
Investing involves a long-term commitment in buying and selling, can yield the highest % profits, has the least amount of work and is the slowest, usually.
Rares are NOT a real item you flip, you merchant, you invest in unless you commit that long-term stuff, in which case it's purely based on trends and not even close to unpredictable under normal conditions. Also, it's hardly a decent way to make cash unless you're good at merchanting to begin with.
MERCHING was coined by stupid pyramid clans that ruined Rs. Ge free-trade now does that by itself, on top of centralized wealth and many rich players. Grand Exchange is horrible.

This post in the Investors thread somewhat covers pertinent information about Insight.
http://forum.tip.it/topic/309373-investors-ruin-runescape/page__st__80__p__5226013#entry5226013
Thanks bucketloads for that.
Also, sent you a pm Stormrage. Sorry it came a little late, but I sent the pm as soon as I was informed.
Feel free to tell the good people here what you told me... They will all be better for it if they knew this tidbit of information :)
Spill the beans Den.
I wonder if it was about that article on Wikipedia about Insight being a liquidation company, give me a sec to link it up or quote some crap. Wish I could find that thread with the Insight shares graph on tif. Would be extremely useful for what I want to post.
EDIT:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insight_Venture_Partners
Insight Venture Partners is a New York-based private equity and venture capital firm founded in 1995 by Jeff Horing and Jerry Murdock. The firm focuses exclusively on dismantling and liquidating software and Internet-enabled businesses and currently has a capital base of approximately $5 billion.
The firms Executive Advisory Board includes Robert Rubin (Chairman of Citigroup and 70th Secretary of the Treasury) and Steve Friedman (Chairman of the United States President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and former Chairman of Goldman Sachs).
Around 2006 somehow some investor popped up.
Insight was the name and they changed Jagex from the bottem up.

There we go, fixed.

Might as well remove the whole post.
No idea on how you can get better gear or cash per hour on RuneScape bud. My signature is full of lies :$.

While looking at guides for various things, and talking to some players, I hear a lot about D.I.Y. in Runescape. For instance, players making their own rune armor or gathering there own 2nd ingredients for Herblore. I never understood this because the way I look at it, gathering your own 2nd ingredients can maybe net you 200-400k per hour profit if you sold them, whereas there are many ways to make 3x, 4x even 5x and more that amount by doing various other things..
So what are the benefits of "doing it yourself?" Besides the bs about "the joy of accomplishing it on your own or whatever" because making the money and buying the supplies and still having 600k seems like a much better "accomplishment" to me..
There's benefits to making your own stuff and gathering your own stuff, like what you said. Your % profit per will go up, your feeling of 'achievement' will go up. It is not necessarily the best way to go about playing, since you can do things for quicker cash and spend the extra money on getting it done faster. Same goes for xp rates.
For full DIY (no trading except quest-required things like Heroes/Shield of Arrav or NPC's), you can benefit by not worrying about the price of x items going down or up (that's my main benefit if I were to go full DIY), a different style of gameplay, more 'achievements' so to speak, larger challenges. There are negatives like effort and time spent, but the overall objective of a "Game" is to have fun. Just do as you please.
I'm largely DIY on my main, which has 2338 total at the moment. Apart from the adamant bars for 99 smithing, there are few things I've bought. My armour (the classical whip, bandos, neitiznot helmet, dfs,...) are gathered by myself, I slay without familiars or potions (which changed a little now, I use a pack yak for dragon bones and infernal ashes and so on, and of course prayer potions and antifire potions for deflecting high damages, but I don't use super/extreme/overloads).
I don't know why I play like this, but I enjoy it, I don't care about the exp I get per hour. I largely play the same way as I used to play 8 years ago, call me old fashioned, but I like how things go now, which is why I'm slightly annoyed when Jagex suddenly reworks certain parts of the game.
After posting my first bit I remembered something that relates to this post. 8 years ago or so, when I first played RuneScape, I had been basically all DIY. I had bought a nice amt of items that were hard to find like Rune Battleaxe or the kiteshield, but up until I was a member, I got everything on my own from shops and the like. I can say with a nice amount of confidence that I was a happier scaper back before I did trading a lot or became member even.

Here goes nothing. Testing sig in 3..2..1....

If you turn the floating cooled pieces black, that is how I pictured Tokhaar-Kal. And it would look a lot nicer than the current one.. Well, moreso the cracks being flowing lava like on a Fire cape, and black plates of obsidian or just cooled magma over that part. A basic overlay of plates on a Firecape, that's all. That's still awesome. And rounded-off edges sort of, kind of like how the Tokhaar is currently. I dislike the jaggedness of the parts in the above picture. But it is pretty damn close to what I want to see.
However, I think it's only going to be a cape redesign that follows a theme of the Tokhaars, and not just lava-ish crap. Really sucks.
Even then the Fire cape would look badass as that :). PLEASE CHANGE FIRE CAPE JAGEX, PLEEEEEEEEASE <3333333.

Doinitwrong I think, Blaze.

Report them to Jagex, either under bugs somewhere if you can find it, and/or the Rs forums. There's a thread for FPS lag, or at least there was. Use that if it still exists..
Hope they fix this shit, sick and tired of 6-14fps when I can run 30-40+.
EDIT: Technically it's your comp, but it's because it doesn't run the same shit that the game is coded for or somethng. I'm not an expert on details so yeh.. I have found fps picked up once on a particular server, for only one night though. After that it was destroyed once again.
You can A: Report it to Jagex as I said and hope they fix it soon if at all, or B: Get a new computer just because RuneScape is being dumb about everything. I plan to eventually buy a new video card and psu for the ability to run Skyrim correctly, and hope that it functions for Runescape as well. No guarentee on that though :/.

Use the Tip.It Signatures and then send in your own picture of your character to be approved as the background.
This to be precise.
What they said.
I -think- I remember that you can upload your own background and your own character. You could also just make a background including your own character.

Gf 1-2m/h at barrows. Who makes a video on how to make money that's affected by player amounts xD?

Inb4 jagex starts selling direct xp for $ lol
*waits a year"
Made this today :)
Nice one, Thai lol..
Also, Yep. Diablo 3 is gf Runescape time. I am DONE. Time to grind properly to max level and top ladder on my Birthday :D.
-
The only thing that is even holding me to the game is the people I chat with and that I cannot find a decent MMORPG I can get into. Unfortunately, the former is dwindling as my list is getting more inactive with all the quitting from rage or boredom and I am just on to get into some small talk and usually am on an hour at most each session. As for the update itself, I usually don't look highly on people or groups who don't live up to their ideals as highly as they claim, even worse when they adjust those same ideals and visions slightly so they feel what they are doing is still good.
I know it's a company and the economy isn't exactly sparkling, but I am questioning if I should buy another membership card. Might just focus 100% on trying to get employed and invest in console gaming for awhile.
Sounds exactly like me lol. Look into getting Diablo 3. US cost is ~$60. Overseas it's more afaik, like Aus costing something like $95 Usd. It looks really nice and I haven't heard much about the game even though I know a lot of beta players. It's kept it really unspoiled for me :).
But yeah, nice post and definitely agree on all of it. Gl to whatever you should choose, you'll be happy with the outcome I think. Unless you decide to stay and Jagex does indeed [bleep] the game up more..In which case you won't need to decide.
I'll renew until I'm bored not because an update lets some rich dick get things quicker.
This. Why would you quit if you're not actually bored?
I'm not bored so-to-speak, but I play Rs a LOT. The few areas I concentrate on playing are completely [bleep]ed up, esp. after this update. Also, I don't feel like contributing to a douchebag company anymore. Thanks for looking at all sides before commenting, guys.
-
I've quit over less before. Not saying I will atm, but I can guarentee that I'll cancel in the future over this. I've dealt with F2P, just waiting for them to take that away, and then I'm pretty much done with RS. At that point I know they're just going to [bleep] it up more and I gotta get out of this game early, before I start feeling like I REALLY wasted my time and it's not worth playing.
Side note: Diablo 3 might make me quit this shithole. Gf Jagex and your lame ass Rwt ideas.
-
Got 99 Strength first, since it's the most helpful lvling and I was also contributing stupidly to a 4-person 99 party.
2 weeks later I got 99 def/att/hp at once. Would've been str too but ^..
NEVER will I give in like that again. Oh well..
Next 99s will probably be:
Dungeoneering (Probably 120 before any of the below tbh..)
Prayer
Magic/Range
Herblore
Slayer
Summoning

I just want them to remove medium and small lamps from the SoF. Well rather have them move it all together, but that's the best compromise I can think of.
^
Oh, and Jagex aren't actually able to sell rsgp or tradable items, as that would set a real world price on gp, which then makes SoF gambling.
Expect to see exp-boosting items and untradable gear however.*
Yeah if they removed at least those it'd be a lot more reasonable. Large lamps are pretty rare still and very good xp, but constant xp like that from small/med is ridiculous..
They probably won't remove them without removing the buy option though. It's really what's going to sell those spins at this point :/. Friggin' momo squealbuyers.
*I would kind of like this..Well, not the first one so much. Untradable gear that's not like what's currently in-game (Auspicious Katana except not copied stats ffs..).
-
would be nice to not be penalized for picking up a hard clue at a monster that also drops elites, at least.
That's what I'm saying :).
Forget getting another SoF style D&D though. I really don't want that..

Lmfao @ the torag's helms... And wow @ dicing win. Incredible :o.
Check this shit out lol. Waiting til this happens in a large.
Maybe we shouldn't temporarily ignore PM spammers...

The ignoring thing has nothing to do with offline/online status. Turning chat on from friends n so on would, n then your topic would make sense.
Beyond that I don't report them, merely because it's a waste of my time (if my public is on ever). Not like Jagex really does anything to them, let alone any bots currently..
Keep pchat to friends and -maybe- hope that Jagex does something eventually.
