from the Tip.It guide on this subject... 02.46 North, 29.11 East Duel Arena. Need a friend to duel, select obstacles; no Saradomin wizard attack here. [hide=Picture][/hide] The Tip.It guide is great: http://tip.it/runescape/?page=coordinates_list.htm

Monkey Talismans aren't the same as gree-grees. Monkey talismans can be bought if you still have your gree-gree from the Monkey Madness quest, so if you "lost" your talisman when making your first gree-gree and still have the gree-gree you made, you can buy talismans from a store on the island. If you lost the first gree-gree that you made, then you'll have to go about making them in the same way you made your first one (from the quest). I would recommend (of course) trying to make all three at the same time, but if you cannot, make one, then go get the bones you need for the others and make them later. Tip.It has a guide on the greegrees themselves: http://tip.it/runescape/?page=greegree_guide.htm

I think there are places you can safe spot.

I think it means once you get to that step. I'm not sure if you can make a sapphire lantern before that step, but in the tips it mentions that you can have two separate light sources which will allow you to change the lens to a sapphire in the cave...not only that, if you have a Seer's Headband (unlikely, but not impossible), you could extinguish or not even light the lantern beforehand.

...and I didn't say that you had! :)

if possible post a screenshot with the prove ;) it makes it easier for the mods. For something like this a screenshot might help, but it's definitely not necessary. Most, if not all mods have one of those shields, if not both, available to them...furthermore, simple confirmation from reliable sources other than the original poster (like I am about to do) is often enough in cases like these. The elemental shield does indeed only give a +6 boost to magic defense whereas the mind shield gives +9 boosts to both magic defense and summoning defense.

I'm pretty sure that once you do the "chase" part of Hunt for Surok, you can more quickly reach him by going "straight" to his cavern. Lots of food and prayer potions and magic defense gear with pray from melee. The only thing that will then hit you will be Surok's magic (can hit in the 20s), but the more powerful melee attacks and ork legions that he summons won't hit you. I potted up with a super set and ended up having to eat some of the food afterward, just to pick up the multiple drops.

Contrary to popular belief, there are still safe spots available for some of the bosses. You should be able to handle it, but make sure you take home teleport tabs if you can, because carrying around the diamonds after you get them is dangerous (to a weakened victor, mostly).

I have 2 lines for stats and goal, and 2 lines hidden (colour and link). So that should be okay than, with the line thing? Then what about the pixel limit thing, as it was stated that the size did not matter? I don't know about the pixel limit, but if you convert the goal pic you have to lines, that would probably count as two. Then there's the color thing that looks more like four lines by itself, plus more text. If I were you (which I am not), I'd get rid of the color picture and put the goal in the hide tag where you could tell better whether or not you have exceeded the limit for a picture plus text (hidden or unhidden). Two pictures unhidden probably isn't a good start, but again, I'm not crew, nor a moderator, but I would think you'd be safer that way. If I WERE a moderator, I'd limit people to one picture that fits the limits of the current stats dynamic signature picture that could be unhidden and one more of equal size that could be hidden OR 10 lines of text unhidden and ten lines of text hidden (or a combination of the two). I am not, so the current limits exist.

Herbs and flowers died ~1 in every 9 patches. Planting ranaars/kwuarms/toadflax/snapdragons in the herb patch will always profit (unless all 4 patches die AND My Arm's patch yields very little, which has a low chance of happening. 1/6561 chance that all 4 patches die.) Planting marigolds will also always profit as long as 1 survives (chance of 3/4 dying=1/729. Every other time, you will profit). Although I would agree, the farming boost isn't fantastic. But from your post it implied herb farming and flower farming is not worth it because they can die. That is not true. They don't die often enough for you to lose money on them. I was implying that you don't earn enough experience often enough to justify carrying the shield around with you just to make visits to that group of allotments. I wouldn't ever consider farming high level herbs there (because I farm those with complete safety at My Arm's plot) and flowers aren't that great experience. Unless you have lots of strawberry and watermelon seeds, the Farming experience isn't enough to care about bringing it with you, unless all you do is Farming runs and you have that placed in your shield slot full-time.

Well, you do have three images in your signature at the moment, so it might have something to do with converting the extra two images into applicable text lines which would exceed limits.

He asked for fast, and as I mentioned, the only way to make it "faster" is to plant the things that get the highest experience. I didn't shrug off herbs. If he wants to speed it up, he has to use everything at his disposal. I've never bought a seed...ever. I'm in the 80s in Farming and all I do is plant high level tree seeds that I get from MTK or other bird nests. I plant nothing but willows and up or curry and up and have saved seeds anytime I can't. I planted bushes in the bush patch on Etceteria every trip to MTK (once a day) and herbs harralander and below go in the patches all around with everything higher going into My Arm's patch. I saved all the cactus spines I harvest and use those if I have a yew tree seed and the five plots I never plant anything but palm trees in yield me plenty of coconuts to pay for magics that get planted in the Gnome Stronghold. I save the crops I have gotten/grown for other crops. I don't plant anything less than sweetcorn and only if I have all the seeds necessary. The person asking should definitely thieve seeds for crops and find other ways to spend time between making tree runs, both fruit and wood trees. I don't see where we disagree. I think paying for Farming is dumb, because it cannot be sped up, except for optimizing the plots and patches you have available. Time can't be sped up. Just maximize experience.

Farming is one of those few skills that can't be speeded up because it depends on real time. Always plant the things that give you the most experience at your farming level. The only way to "speed it up" is to use every plot. By the time you figure out a good route, you'll probably be at the level you want. The best things to plant will be trees and fruit trees. Papayas and pineapples and Yews and maples...don't really bother with anything else if you can. From 62, plant watermelons (if you have the seeds already...they're expensive otherwise), strawberries, or sweetcorn in allotments, limpwurt in the flower patches, and the best herbs you can plant (which probably won't be snapdragons, unless you've saved those seeds, but just plant anything you can in the spots). Plant mushrooms near Canifis, whiteberry bushes (and make sure to dig them up and replant), and wildblood hops if you have the seeds (or whatever else you can, as long as you're not going out of your way to plant them). Note your produce at each stop and to make it easy, try planting the same thing. ALWAYS pay to protect your crops, if you can, because it will eliminate the lost experience from dead crops. If it's cost prohibitive, then you can take your chances, but never with seeds you're paying more than 1k for (in my opinion). Always use supercompost, even if you're paying, because it will cut down on lost growing cycles due to disease. Even if the farmers are looking after your crop, they could get diseased (then instantly cured) and lose a growing cycle. This is why (rarely) crops will take five or ten minutes or so longer than expected.

I thought I had read somewhere that the crew was looking for exact experience gained in Hunter during the "Dark Core" luring part of the Summer's End quest. I'm not sure if it's worthy of updating the quest guide or not, or where the information exactly goes... It's 250 Hunting experience for each of the three you need to advance to the final part of the cave, so 750 Hunting experience in all.

The updates to Agility training courses last week left me a little upset. I had planned on training the skill once reaching level 70 at the Dorgesh-Kaan course, but when Jagex made their changes, they took that option away. It's completely within their right and their realm to do whatever they want to the game, of course, and I'm really just more upset that I procrastinated so long in training that skill...well, really I was just training others, but I digress. The PHAS points went toward Agility and I could have made a few less trips on Ape Atoll's course had I gone to the Circus before going on the spying mission. I reached a new level in Crafting and visited a couple of Evil Trees and a Shooting Star. I seem to be on a short loop on Slayer tasks, though not receiving the same task in a row. I've just about had my fill of Chaldear! The big news of the week would have to be the completion of my final pre-WGS quest. Summer's End was one of the tougher quests I've had to endure, not because of difficulty, but because it involved a lot of avoiding and a steep learning curve for the first two caverns. The third wasn't tough at all. The rewards were nice and so was the extra mini-questing after completing the main quest. I finished my latest Kurask task, but not before earning three clue scrolls over the course of the 100-plus killings (and two came almost back-to-back). The first two rewards were made up of mostly high alch fodder, but the third one... [hide=New armour?][/hide] Not much is left as far as the main interest of my gaming experience. Hopefully, Jagex continues to release new and exciting quests and content on a more frequent basis. I suppose I could have done a better job of pacing myself, but if they don't release a quest each week, I was bound to catch up anyway. I took a look at some of my goals and tried to come up with more long range ones to complete, but I don't think I'll place them here. It only involved checking each skill to see what was the highest level needed to use all the available content in the game. I expect Ranged and Strength levels in the next week in combat skills and Farming, Thieving, and Smithing levels soon. I won't be training those skills, of course, but I'll take what the game gives me!

Do them all ASAP. Lumbridge first and foremost (the free teleport to the cabbage patch cannot be underestimated), then probably Varrock if you can manage it (some high levels needed in some tough categories if you haven't been training your character to be well-rounded), Seer's diary (with the same restrictions as the Varrock), then Fremennik or Karamja (though I love the Shilo Village teleport from Karamja) and finally Falador (the free prayer thing isn't that great and the farming exp isn't worth it unless you're using the allotments because otherwise, using the herb or flower patch carries the risk of your plants dying).

Avianses beat all...

Pure profit? Nothing, unfortunately, is pure profit. Even if you mine the rune essence yourself, craft the runes, then sell (one example of vertically monopolozing your gameplay), you're in effect "paying" yourself for the time you spent getting all the stuff. That said, picking flax and spinning into bow strings will get you some crafting experience and cash, collecting seaweed and burning and selling the soda ash will get you cash (no experience), bucketing sand (cash), or making glass (crafting experience and cash) will work... I would recommend slayer tasks. You train while earning a steady income and if you couple it with wise allotments in Managing Thy Kingdom, you can't make less than 2 million a week. Maples always sell, as will the seeds and the birds' nests, then coal or raw fish.

It could definitely be clarified. I'd make some changes, like: 3- Black Knight Titan Take the Excalibur and any food and armour needed to fight the level 120 Titan and travel to Brimhaven. Go north-west from Brimhaven until you find some poison scorpions, then head north. Just north of the gold mine you should see the four legs of a tower. Stand underneath it and blow the whistle. You should now be teleported to the Fisher King's Realm. There is a bridge blocked by the Black Knight Titan. Fight him until it is low in health and make the finishing blow with your Excalibur to kill it and pass. If you do not use the Excalibur, the Titan will fully heal itself and you will have to re-battle it. 4- Bell Follow the river south and east until you find a fisherman. Ask him how to get into the castle and he will tell you to ring the bell. There will be a bell on the ground near the broken part of the wall of the castle to the south. Pick up and ring the bell to be teleported into the castle. Go upstairs and speak to the Fisher King and agree to find his son. The part about Goblin Village should be correct, though. He's in the eastern house below the northernmost one.

I'm sure you mean Dagon'hai...

Well there you have your answer SportsGuy. It would appear that wearing clothing similar to the audience does not give you extra points. Not necessarily, right? I mean, I do have slave robes that I didn't try, nor did I try the Eldini robes or the enchanted water tiara or the menaphite robes or the ones with the fez. It may not matter, but I feel like maybe that's something I can keep an eye on (wearing the stuff, not deciphering the math...I still think you guys are all wizards). I apologize for not being more helpful, if that's the case. _________________________________________________________________________________ Username: SportsGuy Location of Circus: Lumbridge What were you wearing?: Full ghostly outfit, including the Shadow sword Mage Event Description: 10x emotes, no failures (Around the World in Eggty Days, Give Thanks, Freeze, Trick, Explore, Safety First, Air Guitar, Snowman Dance, Bunny Hop, Zombie Hand) Mage Event Points: 849 Ranged Event Description: 10x emotes, misses at 80 and 99 (Wave, Bow, Yawn, Think, Laugh, Scared, Blow Kiss, Panic, Cry, Jump for Joy) Ranged Event Points: 613 Agility Event Description: 10x emotes, miss at 90 (Glass Box, Climb Rope, Lean, Glass Wall, Dance, Jig, Spin, Headbang, Zombie Walk, Zombie Dance) Agility Event Points: 744 [hide=FULL RESULTS]started circus (no items in inventory) MAGIC full ghostly outfit (incl. shadow sword), took ten of each spell, level 80 Magic, experience: 2,012,710 1)Around the World in Eggty Days (audience requests SOMETHING) alchemy dumb-bells/80 2)Give Thanks (audience requests teleport something) teleport stool/70 3)Freeze (audience requests blast tree stump) elemental tree stump/20 4)Trick (audience requests teleport anvil) teleport anvil/99 succeed barely 5)Explore (audience requests blast shield) elemental shield/40 6)Safety First (audience requests levitate rat) levitate rat/10 7)Air Guitar (audience requests alchemise dumb-bells) alchemise armour/60 8)Snowman Dance (audience requests levitate rat) elemental helm/30 9)Bunny Hop (audience requests alchemise dumb-bells) levitate ork/50 10)Zombie Hand (audience requests teleport something) teleport assistant/90 succeed barely scored 849 in magic performance and earned 22,217 experience points RANGED full ghostly outfit (incl. shadow sword), took performance bow and 5 performance arrows and 5 performance knives, level 79 Ranged, experience: 1,918,805 1)Wave (audience requests something) knives bullseye/10 HIT 2)Bow (audience requests popinjay/50) arrows popinjay/50 HIT 3)Yawn (audience requests bullseye/60) knives bullseye/60 HIT 4)Think (audience requests popinjay/40) arrows popinjay/40 HIT 5)Laugh (audience requests bullseye/70) knives bullseye/70 HIT 6)Scared (audience requests popinjay/60) arrows popinjay/20 HIT 7)Blow Kiss (audience requests bullseye/60) knives bullseye/30 HIT 8)Panic (audience requests popinjay/50) arrows popinjay/80 MISS 9)Cry (audience requests bullseye/60) knives bullseye/90 HIT succeed barely 10)Jump for Joy (audience requests popinjay/40) arrows popinjay/99 MISS scored 613 in ranged performance and earned 11,986 experience points AGILITY full ghostly outfit (incl. shadow sword), level 70 Agility, experience: 738,044 1)Glass Box (audience requests something) small hop/10 2)Climb Rope (audience requests juggle tuna) juggle tuna/60 3)Lean (audience requests twirl) twirl/30 4)Glass Wall (audience requests juggle tuna) juggle plates/20 5)Dance (audience requests hop) handstand/40 6)Jig (audience requests juggle tuna) juggle spades/50 7)Spin (audience requests small leap) no-hand cartwheel/70 8)Headbang (audience requests juggle eggs) juggle cannon balls/80 succeed barely 9)Zombie Walk (audience requests one-leg balance) large leap/90 FAIL 10)Zombie Dance (audience requests juggle soap) juggle chinchompas/99 succeed barely scored 744 in agility performance and earned 7,802 experience points[/hide]

Tears of Guthix, Recipe for Disaster, Cold War, as many of the elven lands ones as you can... just start going through quests like crazy, but the ones that give you access to areas and free experience (recipe for disaster for the lumby castle basement chest and tears of guthix for experience in your lowest skill each week)...

I decided to add some more items to my POH Costume room, which had me hacking jungle in Tai Bwo Wannai. I managed to make a pretty good sum of money from selling off all the Snake hide, Proboscis, and Spider carcass drops, not to mention the duplicate Broodoo masks. I also put a few more Gout tubers into my bank...all from the village itself, thanks to the parcel service there. I've got well over 10k trading sticks...too bad they're not useful for much else and too bad the game doesn't give better rewards, since it's one I can actually stomach playing for hours on end. The prayer statue in the middle of the village certainly helps. I won't see another level in Summoning until next week, thanks to an average trip to Juna's cave for Tears of Guthix. I'm anxiously awaiting updates from Jagex, but if for some reason they skip a week without making any updates, I'll go ahead and finish off the Summer's End quest, leaving just While Guthix Sleeps to be completed. I took the opportunity to try a few minigames that I haven't visited this week, mostly just to unlock the music. I didn't really find any of them terribly addicting, but I didn't get to all of them. No one plays Trouble Brewing anymore. Maybe it was just the few hours that I was on, but not even the one themed world had more than two people waiting to play. I was actually looking forward to playing a few rounds of that game, because I wanted to get the experience rewards it offers. I'd rather sit there and level Firemaking than burning logs or lighting beacons. I finished off a Kurask task with a clue scroll and a Light Mystic Robe top as the only drops of real value. I could have sworn that the last time I finished a task there that gem tips were a drop, but not a single one this time, so I must be mistaken. The task was my 129th, so I was a little worried that I'd see "Iron Dragons" or worse, "Steel Dragons" when I visited Duradel in Shilo Village. Thank goodness it was only Kalphites! Easy and completable in one trip. I farmed a few dozen herbs and traded in some Goutweed to Sanfew, which earned me my first leaves of Wergali. After that, it was back to Slayer tasks. I completed about seven of them and though I did get a clue scroll, I sold the best reward...a white elemental top for a female player. It earned me more than 600k. On the tasks, I reached level 82 in Hitpoints, level 80 in Attack, and level 108 Combat level. I still haven't decided where my PHAS points will go and what day I'll go to the Circus, but I've got plenty of time to decide. In the meantime, here are some more reader comments and replies... Thanks! Prayer is one of those less than popular skills to train, but important skills to have. Thanks! I'm trying my best! I'm so glad to hear you enjoy it! Thanks for the compliments!

The only time you don't need the sextant, map, and compass to dig is when the actual clue has a picture of an "x" like it is marking the spot to dig. I bring them along anyway, but every single coordinate clue you get means you need all those items, plus the clue and the spade...just as the others have been pointing out.

I meant try LOOKING there. Nothing. What about here... http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=186&t=767635&hilit=spec+picture I know, nothing. AGS doesn't have a picture and D claws' picture isn't showing up for me. There is one on the third page. Sorry that you can't see it. Bummer.
