Screwball

Thank you Tip.It for the interview. Syzygy is hands down the most impressive player in the game. That's just my honest opinion. I admire all the top players, but it takes a whole different breed to achieve greatness in F2P. His stats serve to remind people just how brutal Prayer is to level, and why no [strictly] F2P players have achieved level-126 (AFAIK). The interviews are one of my favorite parts of Tip.It, but this was the first one that made me grin from ear to ear when I saw it. It was cool to learn that Syzygy is an adult, as I am. This is the only famous player who I actually wish was on my friends list. As a fellow F2Per, I would love to be able to pick his brain! For those who wondered why he has no god armor, you have to remember that they have the same bonuses as plain rune, which he is more likely to accumulate duplicates of over time. There's simply no reason to own god armor, aside from appearances. As for rares, again, with bank space at a premium you have to make compromises, and raw materials will trump frivolous trinkets every time. The only way for an F2Per to justify rares is as a way to bank more wealth if you've reached the limit in coinage. Keep the faith Syzygy, don't spoil the most impressive account in RuneScape with the taint of membership! :lol:

I'd be happy with just the lock function, or even a grid pattern in the bank to allow designated spots for each item. Either way, I wouldn't have to have two of everything in order to organize my stuff. That's my biggest annoyance with the bank.

I was training on flesh crawlers and got the Molly random event in the middle of fighting one. After being transported into her room, I was 1-hit. Luckily that's all flesh crawlers can do, but it raised an interesting question: what if it had been a stronger monster, and I'd been killed in there? Clearly it was a latency issue, but this should never be possible once the random has been triggered. My coding chops are rusty, but it could be fixed with something along the lines of: if (non_dangerous_random_has_been_triggered) { possibility_of_taking_damage == 0 } :-P Anything similar happened to you?

Woo! 8-)

OK first of all to everyone who thinks real 2-handed words were heavy and cumbersome, they were not. They weren't giant metal clubs with sharp edges; they were light, nimble and even flexible weapons, not much different than the shorter 1-handed "arming swords." In fact, 2-handers were specialized for thrusting, to pierce the plate armor which had replaced chainmail. They were an adaptation to advancements in armor. It was the previous generations of shorter swords which were slashing weapons; they were adapted to the chainmail of that period. This is a pet peeve of mine; the entertainment media has portrayed swords inaccurately pretty much everywhere, and RuneScape is no exception. Anyway, I think I've discovered at least part of the motivation behind these animations. Those of you who know how to "moonwalk" in RS, try it with a 2H equipped. Your character now actually steps backwards and turns his head to see where he's going, rather than simply gliding backwards while doing the forward walking animation. I guess Jagex noticed the moonwalking fad and decided to adopt it, in a sense, which is pretty cool of them I guess.

Am I the only one who hates them?

Does anyone know of a chart or list that shows the prices that specialty shops sell their items at depending on their current stock?

I'd like to see my total XP when I mouse over my total level, just as I see the XP for each skill. I think this would be handy for everyone, but for players who's total XP does not show up in the Hiscores in particular. Let's say you wanted to set a goal of 100k XP per day, in a variety of skills; this would facilitate that. I'm F2P, so if one of you members wants to suggest this on the official forums, please do so. I mentioned this in Jagex's comments section, but got an automated response, which is fair as it was a misuse of the comments service anyway.

All I know is his brother Luke clearly has demons in his past. You can see it when he does interviews on Letterman/Leno, etc. Maybe there's a dark family history there and Owen used humor to hide it. Anyway I tend to agree that if you really want to die you will probably succeed, and that many suicide attempts are indeed cries for help. But I stop short of making a blanket statement as such, because there are cases where people survive shotgun blasts to the face.

pro-melee doesn't protect 100% against players. It only protects 40%. It's for the skeletons. The "risk free" part comes from the fact that you will only lose some free robes and ~75GP worth of runes. If you're worried about that, you can just hop immediately upon seeing a white dot. Isn't it 50% against players?

LOL, the exact opposite of most "female" players in the game!

Here's an alternate method you can try once you have that 43 prayer: -- Equipped: Monk's robe top and bottom, holy symbol, rune mace. That's +23 prayer bonus. -- Inventory: Tele runes. Go to boneyard, use protect from melee and ignore the skellys. Bury b-bones till your prayer runs out. Go to Chaos altar to recharge and bury the 11 bones inside the temple. Repeat. -- Pros: 100% risk free. -- Cons: Only averages about 4k XP / hr.

This is a very cool plan. I had intended to calculate the silver needed to reach my goal, mine and bank it at guild/Fally, then go make all the tiaras at Kharid. I wasn't looking forward to it, but your method sounds like it would break up the drudgery a bit, even if it is ultimately slower. I'll try it, thanks!

Thanks. I'll do tiaras. The Tip.It calculators also helped to convince me, when I saw how much it will raise my mining and smithing. A possible alternative would be unstrung symbols, but I figure other players would be happier to see tiaras in the stores.

I really like your art style, it goes perfectly with RuneScape.
