I find quests the most interesting part of the game. I do any that I can, but I particularily enjoy the multi-part quests. It's really fun to get into the history/storylines of the game. :D

I've been thinking about buying a ring of wealth for a little while now, but I do have one question -- is it worth it? I'd just like to know if anyone has found that there IS a noticeable difference in the drops they get from monsters while wearing the ring, or if it doesn't change too much (I know that it gives about a 20% higher chance for a rare drop).

Try using the item you got on Truftius.

Wow, so you're complaining because you have to wait an extra second before attacking? Don't you even appreciate how much nicer the monsters look now and how much work probably went into this update? Waiting a bit longer will not kill you.

I enjoy skills not just because of the benefits of high levels, but because of the good conversation that comes from training skills. This can be anything from combat to farming. It's fun to pass the time by talking with other (mature, coherent) players while woodcutting, fishing, etc.

I love the look of the dragon longsword (currently my weapon of choice). It just looks so powerful! :D

Well like a previous poster said, you get a rune pickaxe as part of the reward for completing the "Between a Rock" quest. That could be it.

Get rid of the evil, sadistic Sandwich Lady. :evil:

First free quest: Sheep Shearer First member quest: Sheep Herder :lol: I'm serious.

Since when is an "expansion pack" 10 times bigger than the original game (and free)? F2P Runescape is clearly made as a demo to convince people to buy the full version of the game.

Mine is Rillor.

I actually posted a similar question a few days ago, so here's what I did: -I had 48 agility to start and had been training at the Barbarian course. I went to the arena and got it to 49, then went to the Wildy course, drank a potion to get to level 52 (to cross the ridge), and then started using the wildy course. It's wayyy faster than the barb course and I wasn't failing very much. You get about 570 xp per lap, so it's very fast. I got my level to 52 easily that way.

I've seen a lot as well at the fishing spots in Catherby (in members' worlds). Maybe it's something about fishing?

Wow, thanks for the good advice; I'm going to go over to the arena for sure. I think I'll try the Wilderness course at level 49 (with agility potion of course) and see how it goes. I'm a chicken when it comes to pkers, however. :lol: Well, if they just get a few cakes, I won't mind. Thanks again for the advice!

Hi, I'm currently trying to raise my agility level to 56. It's currently at 48, and I've been using the Barbarian Course since level 43-44 or so; however, I'm thinking of switching to the Brimhaven Arena. Which of the two courses is better XP per hour? Because the Barbarian course is short and easy but doesn't give too much XP, but the XP rate at the arena can be very variable. What would you recommend?

Last week I was doing the Watch Tower quest, was right at the end where they have the shamans. I figured that a full inventory of food with full rune would get me through it. I attack the first shaman... ...a red splotch that says 30, a red splotch that says 25 and I found myself back in Falador. Some guy who was ranging where I died made out like a bandit (he would have gotten rune scimmy, steel boots and a lot of lobster). :lol:

I like the song that plays at Trollheim (Sojourn), and the Canifis theme (Village).

Just the other day, I sold someone a pestle & mortar for 10k... ...in Catherby bank, about 1 minute away from the shop where it costs about 5 gp. :lol:

Wow, some people need to learn to grow up/spell. Anyways [bleep]egamer, I have about the same ranged level as you (47). If you're P2P, I would recommend training at Moss Giant Island west of Brimhaven. I'm doing that now with iron arrows and making pretty good exp (plus somewhat decent drops from the mossies -- lots of herb seeds). If you're F2P, it's good to train on the dark wizards south of Varrock since they do so little damage to ranged armour (and drop lots of runes). Also, you could try the skeletons in the Varrock sewers -- you can range them across the little stream.

Good article, but it does seem biased against lower-level players (I'm 65 combat). It gives the impression that lower level players ALL want to ruin the game and ride coattails and should be segregated to their own game where they won't be able to win. I doubt it's possible for a team of lower combat levels to win because of all the high level monsters. So the impression I got is that I'm too much of a noob to play with the big people and I should just play to lose until I get to level 90 or above. Guess I'll be back next year or so.

You have to finish the Giant Dwarf quest before they give you the choice of destinations. After completing it, any of the conductors will be able to sell you both types of tickets.

For me, the quickest way is to mine all of the iron I need from the West Ardougne mine (You can get coal there if you're under 60 mining as well), getcoal from the mining guild, and smelt them all into bars at Port Phasmatys, after which I teleport to Varrock and use the anvils just south of the Gaza Strip...errr, I mean, west bank.

When in the bank, (fletching, alching etc) always be on the lookout for lazy people that don't want to spend 2 minutes going to a shop to buy a common item and are asking to buy it for a ridiculous price. I sold someone a pestle and mortar for 10k yesterday, in Seer's Bank, about 1 minute away from the Taverley herblore shop. :lol:

Why is it that when fishing, 20 people can all stand on the very same patch of land? Why do metal ores reappear so fast after being mined? Wouldn't it take decades? Why don't you have to stand in the water for fly fishing? Why is the equipment slot for arrows on the shoulder? Does that mean that our characters run around with 1000 arrows duct-taped to their shoulders? Or do we have an invisible quiver as well?

Farming is very frustrating to raise, because to get any amount of decent exp per hour, you have to run all over the place for 40 minutes. For me, Prayer was a lot easier after getting members. I can thank quest rewards for that -- I got 20000 exp by doing One Small Favour (used both the lamps on Prayer...yeah I know I'm cheap).
