-Devoted12-

Hiya everyone! My name is Devoted12 and I've played Runescape since Runescape classic (though on a different account). In about 2006 or so I created Devoted12 and then joined the Tip.It Forums! I was a moderator here for a year and two and have always really enjoyed the community. I decided that I'd like to play Runescape here and there when I have some free time yet again, and look forward to seeing some old friends. Feel free to message me if you remember me so we can catch up! ~Devoted12

Glad to see you are getting this up and running again! It is a great way to get some fun going, and inspire some TLS spirit. Good job!

Hey Codguy! Bet you don't remember me, but I happened to check out Tip.It and saw how well you are doing in Runescape and couldn't help but tell you Congrats! :D Hope all is well!

Keep up the good work! Hope you're doing well! :)

I'm happy to see this game still going! I don't have the time to play anymore, unfortunately, but it's fun every now and again to hop on and looks at all those TIFers I knew in the past still getting spotted. It's a shame that most of the more legendary members of my time don't seem to play anymore. Keep taking those pictures and having fun, after all, that's the point of the game - fun! To those of you who know me, message me, it'd be fun to catch up! :)

Congrats! Happy to see you are doing so well!

Thanks for all the help thus far. I am just playing SC lately, so I still have some time to make up my mind. As for SC, I don't want to waste money if I can save it for nearly the same xp rate. I don't full hate the game, I just find it boring, so I get tired of it fast, but it's not like it is unbearable... I can work through it, ha. Take a break then. :P To be sure, the minigame (and game as a whole) was made for entertainment. While achieving goals is fun in its own right, if you are getting tired of something you should be entitled to take a short break, am I right? You are right, but I get tired after the first game. I usually just have a little time to play one or two games a night as I am extremely busy, so that is definitely bearable. It would be different if I was playing 4 hours a day, I would definitely take a break in that case. :D Henry: Thanks for your input. As for your strategy, thanks for sharing! I tend to only play in fastsc because I find that more fun and it also means more tools, but I will try that out if/when I don't play fastsc. :D

Correct, but at my point, they are off by about 500k difference. (Minus the butler, but that's not a big deal.)

Thanks for the responses thus far, and yes, I join fastsc usually, but I may try that out as well.

I am looking to go out and spend some of my cash, but I also have to get all the sc hammers for the skill, which stinks. Anyways, I am trying to decide between 99 Smithing and 99 Construction. They both fall in relatively the same price range. Which cape do you think is better, which emote, and which is more respected? I am going to be busy the next couple of weeks so I guess I will devote that time to playing sc. (I hate that game) Thanks for the help ahead of time.

I'm not sure what your trying to say. If you are referring to the mac mouse that is a single click, yes you'll want to get one that has right and left click. the ctrl key on a PC is the modifier key that allows the mousekeys to function, if you don't hold it down the number keys should still type numbers. All I did with my keyboard is relocate some of the keys on the normal keyboard to a spot that was more easily accessible for me to use. It can still be done on all computers. I understand what you did on your keyboard, and on my mac laptop, I have a two click mouse. My problem is that since it is a laptop, the keys you would normally use for mousekeys, on a regular PC, are on the right side of the keyboard. On a laptop, these buttons do not exist, there are only the numeral keys that are above the letters on the keyboard. When I turn on mousekeys, and hit control on any of those numbers, there is no reaction. I read in earlier posts that you have to hit the fn button, which I did. When doing that, the 7, 8, and 9 button move the mouse, but not in the method you described. It moves the mouse ever so slow, therefore it is not efficient. I tried to hit every single key, and none of them really seemed to skip to the right spots, like described, they just slowly move the mouse. Has anyone encountered this and know how to make mousekeys work on a macbook laptop?

Does this work on a macbook? See, because it is a laptop, you don't have the keys on the right, and the regular numeral keys do not work with mouse keys turned on. What buttons do you use? I know that 7, 8, 9 and a couple letter move the mouse, but they don't move the mouse enough for it to be efficient. You literally have to hold the button down, and a regular mouse would be much more efficient. I know you have no experience with this, Wakka, but I was hoping someone may have been able to solve this problem on their macbook.

Ok, I definitely understand now. The hammer can take more than one form. And the xp per hour is excellent. I remember I had a method which was extremely fast xp for the furnace, so I am sure I will be able to be attentive and maximize xp per hour. I really appreciate all your help and congrats again on such a wonderful 99! :D

I don't quite understand why people complain when I would like a toggle option to turn make x off. I do not complain if people take the easy way out, that is their choice. For instance, if the toggle option were available, I would probably keep it on for cooking and skills such as that, because I find them a little relaxing every now and then, but I do think it should be the players choice to hurt their wrist if they wish to gain more xp per hour. But what would it hurt you to make the option up to the player? And I remember in the old days, when you didn't like to do a skill, the solution was that you just didn't train it. Now-a-days, when people don't like a skill, they get make x on it making it afkable. I don't see the fun in that at all. If I am going to take time out of my day, I would like to actually play they game rather than look at the screen every minute to see if my make x is done and I need to click again.

I would take a random amount of money (500k or so) 2k Mith ore, 4k Coal, and two proto tools. One tool was the hammer, the other tool was just any wield-able tool. You wield the tool and when hammer runs out, take it off revert then transform it again. The hammers each last for about 81k at blast furnace (because of smelting xp) Try it out its good. Can you clarify on the part about taking the wieldable tool off and then having it revert to transform again? Sorry, I do not know how these SC tools work, so I am just trying to figure the thing all out. I just came back after a bit of a break! And how much xp per hour with hammers did you get at blast furnace? I do remember I had a lot of fun at Blast Furnace, but I am unsure of the XP I got per hour. I do remember that it was a little bit profitable.

I would say it takes a lot more discipline in order to do tedious skills rather than to hit make x and just sit there. That was the point I as trying to make. I do believe that they should have an option to turn off make X. I believe that if a person wants to do tedious skills in a tedious method, they should gain more xp and that should be their option.

I am personally sick of all the Make X options being added. It seems the whole game is no longer a game of skill, but a game of who can sit at the computer longest. I am sorry, but I would rather have the Make X option removed on numerous things, such as cut x at barbarian fishing, make x for fletch, burn x for bones, etc. Slows it down for those who are willing to work hard in the game.

I am sure you will find Prayer much more tolerable now. They added a burn x option for prayer on gilded altars. :( AFKable but slower xp. Personally, I would rather have the faster xp, but that's just me!

Congrats! One question, though. How did you do the blast furnace? What was your method for using SC hammers in there?

To each their own, I guess. I am not arguing that it may be possible to merchant. I used to be fairly good at merchanting and could make good money with the early GE. I am not sure if this is still possible, but you must remember there is risk in that as well. As quickly as you can make it, you can lose it, and it has happened a fair amount of times to a lot of people I know. I have respect for anyone with a buyable skill because I know you had to work hard OR take a lot of risks to get where you are. Usually, you have to be smart and good at what you do to get money in this game, and for that, I think the player should be commended. BUT, we all have our own opinions and our own definitions of a commendable skill.

Haha, sorry I have been inactive. I try to get back into the game and just become extremely busy and am forced to quit. I think I should be coming a bit more active now, but we will see. And I agree, I believe it should be stickied. It is still fun, however, to see that the TIFers are able to keep it bumped and at 130+ pages, so I guess they don't see the point if it remains on the front page.
