Thought it was a bit quiet :)

I'm pleased to advise I've also joined the 2 x 3rd Age Treasure Trail rewards club. The spooky thing is my last ones were also obtained on Good Friday - back in 2008 !! I made a forum post back then titled 'I've had a Good Friday, how's yours been?' !! Happy Days :)

Gem finding scrimshaws are a waste of time imo. I've now used 3 Superior ones & have still to find an Onyx, only 5 D/Stones in this time as well. I used mine on Rune Rocks & Bane ore. Now saving bones for next scrimshaw scroll, once I've completed the Armour sets (only Death Lotus Chaps to go).

I assume you are protecting from mage & not range as per OP, as this will make a difference to how long you survive down there. Apart from that, agree with above posters that you need to upgrade weapons & ammo.

Don't they attack with Mage?

Hmmm, now if only I could sell you 1 !!

Have you unlocked Pauline's 1st Spell at Livid farm?

2007 Clue rewards seem so much better than EOC's

Double Damn !!!!

Partial success on Shambling Lair mission, 1st Crew re-roll = Oxhead :) Now to get lots of steel to improve rest of crew.

Shambling Lair voyage sent out at 67% - now just the 13 hour wait !

Finally, a 10k Captain that comes with Decent Traits, particularly the Seafaring. The last one I got came with 3 Negatives !! Now biding my time to get a decent 4th trait (Seafriend would be handy :) )

Selling Judges

^ Good call, thanks. Scroll it is then.

Oh Jagex, why do you tease me so.... I'm 1 scroll off completing the Seasinger set, but haven't seen a Chi mission for ages, hence I'm stuck on 15. Now, do I complete the scrolls, or go for the Chi ?

If you really want to you can do the 'log out' trick at the end of each lap & this effectively allows you to do unlimited laps on 1/2 pie (even if you fail you can complete lap in under 1 minute).

Err, No it doesn't !!

Tada! http://services.rune.../en/Demon_Raids Maps of all the locations. Thanks :)

Any idea on where exactly the Wildie Demon hoards are - 'East of the Wilderness Altar', I've looked everywhere i can think of

Excellent for distance I didn't think you could do the voyages if you already had max traits? My bad it that's not the case. I guess the message about increased chance of failing still means you can do the voyage & not get the trait.

Is anyone else getting fed up with receiving Trait voyages when all of my captains already have 4 traits? In the last 2 days I have had 4 Trait voyages. Waste of voyages !!

Hmm, that's probably why I've only been getting 1 random per day for a while. Lucky I didn't bother getting the Soothsayer.

Would you recommend getting a Sacrificial Soothsayer to use on my 3rd ship's voyages, normally Arc or Skull ones? The ship stats alone mean I can stick any old crew on there & always have 100% success. I've got plenty of Jade so the cost isn't an issue.

I'm using both Glory & ROW in the hope that this make a positive difference. Had 7 Diamonds, 14 Saphires, 6 Emeralds & No rubies Make sure you don't skew your data. Diamonds received from glory/row are noted in the game chat (something to the effect of: "You just found a Diamond!") while Diamonds from the Gem-finding scrimshaw (and Dragonstone and Onyx) aren't reported in any form and just randomly appear. It might also be better to use Bane Ore as they're both high-leveled and have a fast cutting rate. Might be good to use a rune rock and keep hopping worlds with the Join function, just make sure you don't get reported for being a bot. -- E: Just checked my port to find the Missionary and Occultist turned up together. --- I approve of this shipping :thumbup: (geddit) Yeah, I was hopping Rune Rocks at Dark Beast Temple (much fewer bots there), but at times they were taking far too long to mine, so I went & did Bane ore for a while. Much quicker, but still only got Diamonds :( 2 Hours left on Scrimshaw.
