Good for you. However, I fail to see any discussion value in this thread.

question about yew logs n yew longs...
Adding the bowstring to the bow(u) is quicker exp than fletching yew logs to yew longbows(u), but requires more attention. As for the last question selling the logs is the best cash, but making yew longs is a good way to train fletching. If you like fletching and your magic is below 68, then you could make yew longs and high alch them. At 68 MTA (Mage Training Arena) enchanting and Humidify (A spell from the Lunar spellbook that you can use after the completion of the quest Lunar Diplomacy) cast on vials becomes a better way to train magic. The loss per hour depends on the different speeds of fletching, stringing and alching and the gp/hour rate of your main method of money making, so it's difficult to give an estimate on the opportunity cost of this method. I personally cut my own logs, spun the flax I got from MTK (Manage Thy Kindom, a good money making activity that becomes available after the completion of the quest Throne of Miscallenia), made yew longs and alched them with the nats I crafted for 54 rc (Runecrafting, I'm just going to translate all of the abbreviations since you said you are a rsc player coming back to the game) to get 63 crafting, 68 magic, and a lot of wc and fletching exp. This allowed me to combine a lot of popular training methods and I felt it was a quick way to train those skills at those levels.

Those oh so repeatable tasks
The Tip.it Times article "Don't forget your chores" sparked a conversation of repeatable tasks. Link here: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=769269 I would support a Repeatable tasks star tab on the quest tab that would tell me how long it is until I can repeat a task. The three stars could be next to each other instead of the changing-colour-when-clicked thing. An ingame message like "You can now talk to Bert about a new sand delivery" would also be useful. I'm guessing the flax gatherer from Seers diary is probably going to be repeatable task so the rate at which these tasks are introduced seems to be growing. Eventually we will need to have a list for these be it on paper or in game if we intend to do the tasks.

Making the General Store useful again?
I think you're forgetting that the RWTers can always trade everything back instantly at GE price after selling and buying from the general store. So if it's 80% of GE on both selling and buying price, then the buyer only needs 2M to transfer 500k with one "buy from GS, sell back to seller". Also, you don't need to risk an expensive item. The seller can use quite inexpensive items because the GS (it's been a while since the last time I used that abbreviation) allows the buyer to buy 27 of that said item at a time. The seller could also have large quantities of the item used to trade as notes to replace any lost items. If the GS bought items at 50-60% of GE price and sold them at 90% GE price, then RWTing wouldn't be as easy (sellers 10M would become buyers 6-7M minus the items lost with GS updates in one "buy form GS, sell back to seller"), but you could still buy cheaper than GE.

Weekly Poll: native language servers, would you use?
No. A lot of quest names and items would have just plain silly names. However, it could be good since they would probably stop censoring regular Finnish words and start censoring Finnish swearwords. I know Swedish people would also appreciate a censor update even if they didn't care for their own servers. Even words like "good" from the Swedish languge are currently censored in RS.

Done
You need to ask ALL the questions from Trufitus. Edit: And I think it's supposed to stay red at the early part of the quest. I think it turns yellow after asking all the questions from Trufitus.

question
I think anything with a crush option can be considered as a blunt weapon. As I understand it, a crush attack relies on the user's strength and the mass of the weapon to create blunt force that will "crush" the opponent, so anything with a crush option should be a "blunt weapon". Usually weapons in RS are classified by the attack modes they have like stab/slash/crush and not by sharp/blunt, so I don't have a clue why you would need this info. Is it for a quest?

Wakka's Mousekeys Guide! LEARN TO DROP TWICE AS FAST!
I'm just going to copy the URL of this guide to my notes on Opera so I can link to it on every post I make on Help & Advice. In addition to dropping, these can be made much quicker with mousekeys: -alching -anything in fletching -any make x training method in any skill -banking -cleaning herbs -filling essence pouches

Need help training defence
I'm going to advice against that. That's a slow way to train. Get a D long + Glory + Rune Defender and do slayer with Chaeldar (Lost City is pretty quick) or Obsidian Split Sword + Rune Defender + Berserker Necklace and do Bandits or some other low defence moster (although Chaeldar is pretty good with this set up as well). It would actually be a pretty good idea to get 70 attack first and then 70 defence. I'm pretty sure getting the Rune defender itself is going to take you to 65 or so defence. Holy Grail, Fremmy Trials, Hero's Quest, Defender of Varrock, Dream Mentor and Nature Spirit are quests that you will probably do at some point anyway.

P2P -> F2P List?
That list leaves out maple logs, otherwise it looks good.
-
MTK Guide please.
If you can't find it, then it's probably horribly outdated price-wise anyway. Make sure you have a minimum of 750k at the coffers at all times and raise your popularity to 100% once a day. As for what resources to gather, fish has been giving the most profit for a long time and you could gain crafting levels if you put some workers on flax and spun it to bowstrings.

Guthans or Veracs
How about the helm? It would be a bit of a waste to spend a lot of money on something that can be easily replaced with Helm of Neitiznot. Or are you just getting barrows body and legs for slayer? I think most people have been giving advice thinking about the different set effects, which you can only get if you wear the whole set. For body and legs I would actually recommend Dharok. It's cheap, comes with the standard melee barrows stats and a lot of players usually end up buying the whole set at some point anyway to go dharoking.

F2P --> P2P
The fact that you're becoming members doesn't really change much when it comes to f2p moneymaking. It's still mostly fish lobs (Karamja, bank at Draynor with explorer's ring) or chop yews (near Melzar's Maze banking at Draynor with explorer's ring) or mine gold (at crafting guild again preferably banking at Draynor with explorer's ring, maybe craft airs while running to crafting guild). The only difference is that you could stock up on herblore seconds or get a lot of FoG points for kwuarm/other gloves. If you want to gather resources to get you started in p2p skilling, your decision should be based on what skill you want to train at members. If you chop yews, then you can fletch yew longs and alch them (fletch and magic). If you fish lobs, then you can cook them with gauntlets and sell (cooking). If you mine gold, then you can smith it to bars with gauntlets and sell bars/make and alch bracelets (smithing and maybe crafting and magic). As for what the best moneymaker in f2p is, that depends on your skills and the time you play. On peak hours it's almost impossible to get any gold ore because of competition, but fishing can always be done at the same rate. Just remember to always use explorers ring and world 7 for cabbage teleport and OoC people who are opening the cabbage patch gate when they go bank. I think the best moneymaker for you would be chopping yews, although gold mining without competition would also be very good. Also, don't forget to use those two GE spots to the fullest by merchanting and buying items below high alch+nature rune price.

If you could have any username what would it be?
-Noob, instant fame ftw -Sandwich Lady -Any one letter name -Any three letter word or well known acronym. -Ignore Me, Marry Me, Imhotforyou (basically anything that would make randoms/convos funnier) -Zimbu (it's actually my account, I've just forgotten the pass) -I like my pvp character Hugscape. It would be great to be a feared pker with a name like that.

how long is 99 mining??
how do u do that? Well, the usual way to set mousekeys up in RS is to have (ctrl pressed down) 5-8-8-5 withdraw/deposit the user defined amount of items in bank screen. If you have this set up it usually drops 6 items from a column of 7 (good enough IMO) when you press (ctrl pressed down) 5-8-5-5-8-5... after moving the cursor once with ctrl pressed down. (Kinda hard to explain, but just set mousekeys up so that ctrl + 5-8-8-5 withdraws the "x" amount of items and try dropping your whole inventory.) There could be a better way to set up mousekeys for dropping items, but I rarely powertrain so I wouldn't know about it.

Yup, Barbarian Fishing again, yawn.......................
Prehaps those who are getting 5k more exp per hour are using mousekeys efficiently? That can make a small diffrence in powertraining. Other things that can boost your exp/hour include maxing your mouse sensitivity and making sure the detail level doesn't cause a small lag. When HD first came out and I played everything maxed out I had a significant lag when crafting body tiaras with a 2 mbit internet connection reducing my exp/hour by 2-3k.

how long is 99 mining??
I think a good way to powermine is to reserve the far left column for granite and the rest of your inventory for waterskins and humidify runes. Use mousekeys to drop the whole column quickly.

Should the logout timer be removed?
I really liked this suggestion. JaGEx has always been very much against afk playing, so I don't think they are going to extend the logout timer too much. I also think the logout timer is good for logging you out when your computer freezes. With a logout warning sound coming maybe five seconds before the logout, anybody multitasking on the computer would have plenty of time to switch to the RS window and click on something. I also agree, that players should be allowed to go afk for a short while to visit the bathroom or to grab something to eat without having to log in and input the bank pin again. I would suggest a pause button, that would stop your training and prevent random events from occuring and log you out in five minutes if you don't resume the game. Also, if possible programming wise, when you resume the game you would automatically try to continue the last action you were doing, so you would finish fletching your load of bows or try to chop the tree spot you were facing. This would provide a means for players to take small breaks with minimal disruption to exp gaining without afk training and without the fear of random events. The pause button could be placed next to the logout button for example.

fast easy cooking leveling
When you reach 20 or so cooking I recommend the fishing shop in Port Sarim. You can buy sardines there for 5gp each and chop and burn the oak outside for a fire. Just cook and drop. At 40 swich to trout (catch these yourself at barbarian village). I think the no burn level for trout is somewhere around 42-44, so you won't burn that much at the start. At 57 swich to salmon, because 57 is the no burn level (or is it 58?). Only cook things that you can't burn if they are higher than trout. When fishing and banking at barbarian village remember that the route west from the yews is faster than the one east from them. It's amazing how most people use the east one even though it's clearly slower.

Fairy tale Part 1 HELP!!!
What does your quest journal say? If I were you I would first try talking to Martin in case you just didn't notice having the fairy conversation with a farmer. Then you could try to visit one more farmer that you're absolutely certain you haven't talked to. If that farmer still gives you the adventurer explanation, then it's a bug and you need to report it to JaGEx.
