I'm looking at getting 61 crafting (for lunar diplomacy). What would be the quickest way of getting there? Money isn't too much of a problem.
-
Cool. Hopefully this means SMS payment will be available in New Zealand soon too.
-
Its never happened to me. Where are you mailing from? It took 9 days to get there when I mailed from New Zealand.

I'd probably buy them then, if lobsters cost too much. I just checked the grand exchange and both raw and cooked trout cost 31 gp. But I'd have to cook 6.5k trout. Which could take a while.
-
IF you can afford Lobsters and there losses, then go with them. If you can't then you should go with trout, or fish you own fish like I did, from 1-70 :-# :shock:
Do you mean cooking then selling trout, or fishing them first?
-
Would buying raw lobsters then cooking and selling them be the quickest way to do it, or is there a better way? Also, would I lose less money on cooking swordfish or lobsters?
Thanks.

I'm 91 cb and have been playing since mid 2005.
It's not so rare to see someone of the age 30+ play a web based, java , pixelcounting game. Games with less pixels were made in the 80' ies, so this brings out memories to us. :thumbsup:It's funny because my dad's 42 and he's a big FPS fan (Half-life etc), but he's always said that he can't really be bothered with any MMORPG. Probably because if he tried it for 5 mins he'd get addicted :roll: lol.

Not a bad idea but it's hard to say what the actual emote would be :anxious: . Maybe dodging a Jad attack or something similar to the Quest Cape one.

It's a relatively simple idea, but effective and it could prove useful. I support =D> .

It wont effect the price of big bones, its just going to change the amount and quantity of people selling em. Because of The grand exchange, the prices wont be able to rise of lower, just getting it will take longer than usual cause not as many people are going to be selling em :
That makes sense. But I thought that Jagex used the grand exchange to raise and lower prices depending on the demand for the item? If this is the case then wouldn't D Bones rise in price? Seeing as there is a slower supply of them and people will be willing to pay more to get them.
-
Are Drag Bones still the best value for money when it comes to levelling up Prayer? Because people seem to be complaining about the fact that killing green drags has become much more difficult with the revenants, has it had an impact on the price of the bones?

man even tho i dont do that stuff, that is an awesum idea!!! :D :D :D :D :D
Thank you :) , I haven't personally used LootShare but I looked over the responses its been getting lately from people who do monster hunt a lot and it became evident that it needed some fixing.
Obviously everyone would use "share in gp" whcih means you dont even get the drop, which means prices will go upYou're right, this could potentially be a problem. A solution to would be that, in selecting Share as Gp the item is put up for sale at market price on the Grand Exchange. Instead of having the Gp Shared instantly, you wait until it is sold to someone and then the money is split between the team members to be picked up next time they go to a bank or the GE.

Backround Info
I've been reading over the forums recently about how people think that monster hunting will soon be dead because you can't share through trading etc. LootShare seems to be quite unpopular and the problem is that before long people will have no choice but to use it fi they want to share drops between clan members.
Say that it's January and the unbalanced trade rule has been introduced, you kill the KQ in a team of 5 and it drops a D Chain. LootShare is on so 1 person gets the D Chain and the other 4 are left with next to nothing. The one person sells it and gets 15M (I'm not sure of the actual price), but is unable share the money, because of unbalanced trade limits, so here is my suggestion to fix this...
My Solution
Within the clan chat system there is the option to turn LootShare on, as the leader of the clan. Next to this there should be a choice of two options, Share as Item or Share as Gp. The Share as Item option, keeps things as they are now. The Share as Gp option converts the item dropped to gp automatically (using the prices set by Jagex) and shares it evenly between team members. If you select Share as Gp then there would be a sub-option to Share Gp in Proportion. This option shares the money between clan members based on the amount of damage they actually did and the percentage of health they took from the enemy monster is the percentage of the money they get.
So back to this KQ scenario. Using the Share as Gp option, without the Share in Proportion option on, you kill the KQ and it drops a D Chain. This D Chain is instantly converted to 15 Mil gp and shared between the 5 team members so each player gets 3 Mil from it and the inability to trade large sums of gp between players is no longer a problem.
However, if you are in a team of 5 who kills the KQ and there are only 3 players doing all the work while the other two are slacking off, then it is only fair that the 3 hard workers get more of the total gp. So this is where the Share Gp in Proportion sub-option comes in to play. There is this team of 5 again, they kill the KQ as usual but with the Share Gp in Proportion ON. I will now refer to the team/clan members as Players 1-5. Player 1 works hard and takes out 40% of the total health of the KQ. Player 2, also does his bit, taking off 25% of the health. Player 3 does just as well taking out 25% more. However, Players 4 and 5 are lazy and only manage to take off 5% of the total health each.
So Player 1 naturally gets the greatest share of the total 15 Mil, he gets 6 Mil gp as this is 40% of the total loot and is equivalent to how much damage he did. Players 2 and 3 both took out 25% of the health, earning 3.75 Mil each for their efforts. Players 4 and 5 had little influence on the battle, only taking out 5% each and earning them 750K each for their efforts. This sounds like a fair bit, but considerng how much more they could've earned it acts as a good incentive to try harder next time.
Summary
- A new option, Share in Gp and under it the sub-option to Share Gp in Proportion
Dropped items are converted to money and shared evenly between team members
The Share Gp in Proportion sub-option which will share more money to those that did more work
End Note
The idea of this is to fix the problem of not being able to share the money earned from killing a monster, without giving RWTs etc, a loophole to exploit. I used the KQ as an example but for going to places such as the Godwars dungeon and Dag Kings, I think this would come in handy. Especially when there are Godsword shards as drops which are valued very highly and the inablilty to share the glory of these items could be devastating for even the most tight-knit group.
Remember that this would only be a new option and if you still wanted LootShare to work the way it does now, then you would be free to do so :roll: .

use a visa debit card. i dunno if you have them in new zealand. they are like a saving card but you can use them over the net because thye say visa on them. i had one before i was 18.. you can only access money you alreayd have in the account.
Go to your local gas station and ask for a "Visa Gift Card" and ask them to explain how it works.
That should work.

I've found something called a "Visa Prezzy Card" which is available in New Zealand and supposedly has all the abilities of a credit card, without the age limits. I'm guessing this is the New Zealand equivalent of the "Gift Card" so it should work for membership.
It says in their FAQ that it can pay online, yet it cannot be used in conjunction with paypal, is there some way around this?

So is this available in New Zealand?

You could always cut yews. At your level I would exect them to be relatively fast. Where you cut them depends on if you are f2p or p2p.

Ok. So I went to the post shop today but they didn't seem to have the "Quick Collect" form that I was looking for and therefore, I was unable to send the payment. Sooo the original questions are still unanswered :-k ....any help would be appreciated.
-
Does anyone know how this works? Because I'll be leaving for school in 10 mins and I plan on going to the post shop/bank this afternoon.

I'm planning on paying for 6 months membership tomorrow by using Western Union but I just have a few questions about it...
1. Do I only need to ask for the "Quick Collect" form, fill it in and pay the appropriate amount in New Zealand dollars (about $60)? Or is it less simple?
2. Is the payment sent via mail, or by some faster method? Because I used PayByCash last time by sending the money in cash and it took 9 days #-o .
3. Do I fill out the Quick Collect form just as it is filled out in the sample I was provided with online?
Thanks.
I really dunno Western Union card, but like i from Lithuania we some years ago had here problems to pay membership too, some years ago i used PayByCash method using e-gold, but really then you pay more then, because paybycash get own piece from sum and company which in my situation done transfers to e-gold account got own part too, best method is credit card, just need compatible credit card for it, try VISA i think, i use some kind of VISA to pay - it's works.
I've heard of e-gold but Western Union seems to be quite popular and I guess that indicates that it's at least relatively safe. I'm not 18 so unfortunately I can't use a credit card and my parents aren't as keen as they used to be to let me use theirs...

If you look in the world select menu you can see which F2P worlds have LootShare available. You can use LootShare against any monster that drops loot if that's what you mean by locations.
