This has been discussed dozens of times, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon.

A HJT log would be helpful.

If you participated in the Halloween 2005 event and got a zombie head then, you can dig one up again in the Lumbridge swamps if you ever lose or junk it.

They can be made from ground blue dragon scale (found in Taverly dungeon at the blue dragons) and Kwuarm. Shadow Warriors drop them in the Legends guild, and you can also buy them from players.

At higher levels, monkfish on the Piscatoris Fishing Colony is pretty good-- a little faster than lobbies but more xp per catch. Of course, they take a reasonably high level to cook successfully with gauntlets, and there isn't much of a market.

There are stickies on General and General P2P for discussion of this topic. Queries may also be sent to an Admin.

Don't forget that the Al-Kharid furnace is closest in F2P to a bank and the anvil next to Varrock bank is closest, but you probably knew that, right?

I'm not sure about that-- I got my first mime on a F2P world.

It depends on what you want to do. For training most anything, I'd assume most go with full dragon (chain, legs/skirt) with barrows gloves but some substitute d med with a warrior or berserker Fremmenik helm. Obsidian cape or fire cape (many go with obby because it can be sold by players) and an obsidian shield should round things out. For training desert bandits and some slayer, it's full Guthan-- for desert bandits, it's completed with a god cape since the bandits will attack anyone wearing god armor. I have seen people using Guthan minus the spear with a whip and obby shield instead (if I remember that right). Full Dharok's isn't as popular but I imagine that it works well for one-hit training or low-level monsters with high HP and/or low defense (last I saw it was in the Legends guild, on shadow warriors). Sorry I don't have pics.

That's a real toughie, since I've heard flax and then temple building were the fastest. Your range is pretty good-- what about crafting d hides? I know banking isn't really fast because most of the close places (like Hero's Guild) tend to have players camped out at them. At your level, I'd say range blues and make blue hide bodies for alching. Have you considered crafting amulets? How's your gold bar supply? If you use this way, then I'd visit the gem stalls (not the ones you can thieve from) and buy any gems you find, especially uncuts. Crack safes for a good while. You should be ok without stringing them but if you want to, of course buy wool balls from Aemad's in Ardy, or cruise around some of the f2p worlds and see if wool balls have been sold to the f2p shops. If you can mix it up with flax for a little while, I'd do that- pick in Lletya and spin in Seers. I don't exactly recommend temple building unless you can force your way on world 2 and stay there for a long while with a sizeable chunk of gp. Just some ideas. If you want, I can refer you to a friend who's top ranked in crafting.

This thread has been cleaned of spam, flames, and drift. Anyways, it was an interesting read-- changed a lot of my opinions. He seems to just be a regular guy with plans for the future.

It's a challenge sometimes writing Runescape based stories. It may be a bit easier to strip them of all references to the fact that it is a game in real life, and instead write it as you would your favorite fantasy genre story. Describe the character's lives, the weather in Gielinor, the religions and organizations in the world of Gielinor, and so on. It may be helpful to go in game and read some of the various books from the quests and mini-quests. Look at that for a moment, and see if that provides you a basis to work from. You're on the right track-- see if these suggestions add more to your story.

I'll never look at a tabletop RPG the same way again. Very nice.

My wife has found YouTube to be a really good source of anime episodes. She's a big Ranma 1/2 fan (she has some of the manga). She prefers to watch it with dubs (with all those Canadian voices), but I think it's funnier with subs. From what little I know, there is plenty of anime to be had on the Net but it is advisable to have a torrent client for the new stuff.

Years later when it is very old and I can afford it in my utter poverty, I might get it. I suspect, however, that my brother-in-law will get it and get rid of his older NES machines.

Here in my state, we have the WASL for grade school, and the teachers hate it. I think there is some sentiment that emphasis should instead be placed on the SAT tests, the ACT, and maybe ASVAB (but that's really only important for students preparing to enlist). I went through the school of education during my undergrad years, and I've followed some of the debate over them. I think what teachers hate the most about the WASL here is that the tests are generally focused at bringing up the bottom- focusing on students from disadvantaged areas and segments of society- migrants, poorer students, etc. The programs for gifted students are diminishing, and some parents of students with average grades say their kids are being neglected, too. In general, many believe that the U.S. government is attempting to bring everyone to the same level with the No Child Left Behind act and the emphasis on standardized testing. There are worlds of difference between schools in the inner cities and impoverished areas, and schools in the suburbs and richer communities. The Chicago and Boston public school systems are often painted as academic black holes which kids can disappear in terms of poor resources and lack of academic opportunities. Wealthy parents can afford to get their children into private schools which may have better resources and opportunities-- poor parents cannot. I'm not sure how to comment on the SAT and ACT-- higher education is an entirely different animal in some respects. I'm sure I could do a little research and get into a long rant about grade inflation in the colleges and universities. A college/university education doesn't quite carry the distinction as it once did as more blue collar labor is requiring degrees. (Ironic-- the university degree system was designed as a academic counterpart to the trade system, i.e. Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate correlate with Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master.) There is more of an emphasis on vocational training in part, and a liberal arts education is going by the wayside. Of course, the scholarly pursuits of academia still exist, but it does not represent most of the higher education experience.

the point i was making was that had smarter people been in control of it, we wouldnt have had those problems. leaving workers with basic engineering degrees in charge is probably not a good idea. once there are more people capable of overseeing operation of a facility, then they could make more plants. I'm very tired and don't have the patience to look up all the research on nuclear power. At a quick glance, Google yields plenty of hits and the Wikipedia entry looks pretty informative. From what I recall, nuclear power is the only source of large scale consistent energy aside from petroleum. I think the main thing people are worried about is nuclear waste. We had some breeder reactors out here, but due to the current political climate, DOE is entirely focused instead on cleanup. There are a number of ways to do this-- most of it has been done by waste storage in the basalt out here, but there is an ongoing project to build a vitrification plant (waste is stored in glass rods). Work on the plant is going very slow, however.

I have a few female friends who find Maxim to be amusing.

Didn't get to tell you this this morning: As I was saying, I think you'd have some real talent in stock trading/brokering but you do realize if you mess up there like you did here, you go to jail. Always enjoyed the reads on the rare market, keep up with it and your self-education in economics.

and as u could probably guess, those who start rumors like that are some of the people that hate me...just because they say they know me, doesnt mean they really do...dont believe all u hear...i have no reason to lie to anyone Actually, I think you've got guts to come here when there are so many rumors and unwanted attention. Not sure how it will affect things now, but that's guts, and quite personable. By the way... love the sig. I won't repeat the off-used nickname for it (at least among people I know) as it's not appropriate here, but it is addictive stuff :lol: and quite the caffeine buzz although not as harsh as the energy drinks which have other stuff in them. To the others: we will not hesitate to remove posts that are unnecessary flaming, especially those that fuel the vicious rumors.

The horse topics are old and need to stay that way.

Thread cleaned by me. No naming names.
