ROSSODIAVOLO

I was caught up in all the hype for summoning just a most people were, but I didn't think it'd turn out like this. To me, like someone else has said on these forums, the XP is the wrong way round, you should get low xp for making the pouch and the bulk of it for SUMMOMNING the familiar, afterall it is called Summoning not pouch making. It seems like a hybrid between herblore and runescrafting, runecrafting because its totally laborious, running back and forward to an obelisk. Herblore because you've gotta get the herbs (charms), buy the vials (shards and pouches) then go hunting for the seconds. Now unluckily for us, you cant grow your own charms like you can herbs, so it makes it even harder. I think its unfair for the charms to be monster drop only, pickpocketing and clue rewards should be introduced, and maybe even add something into pc, afterall they have herb, ore and seed packs, so maybe they'll introduce summoning packs with charms and shards in them ? I know this isnt a suggestion thread, But i think you should be able to mine your own shards once you get to a decent mining lvl, im thinking maybe 65 ? and also maybe crafting your own charms (They'd need to be used on the summoning obelisk to enchant them or whatever before you could use them tho) However, It seems to me that by not having a way to make shards this is just another money drain skill like construction, eventhough they stated on the balancing post that it can be the best money maker if you use the pouches, I dont see how that would work logically but nvm. But, as I wrote this I was killing jungle spiders on razmere's island (or whatever he's called) so I think its pretty safe to say, I do like it, and by trying to lvl it, my combat is gonna go up (It might keep me off my farming patches for a while) which can only be a good thing I suppose. (Sorry, I rambled a bit there)

Here's my findings from the good ol' moss giants After 100 kills (with r.o.w) i got 38 gold 4 green 2 crimson 1 blue ----------- kill count - total charms 10 kills - 3 gold 20 kills - 7 gold 30 kills - 13 gold 1 crimson 40 kills - 15 gold 1 crimson 50 kills - 18 gold, 1 crimson & 1 green 60 kills - 22 gold, 1 crimson & 2 green ~~~BANKED~~~ 70 kills - 26 gold, 2 crimson & 2 green 80 kills - 28 gold, 2 crimson, 3 green & 1 blue 90 kills - 33 gold, 2 crimson, 4 green & 1 blue 100 kills - 38 gold, 2 crimson, 4 green & 1 blue

In that kinda situation I would have been pretty ticked off that nobody repaired my gravestone, eventhough they have no gain from doing so except maybe a feel-good factor. I've never been in the situation of having to decide whether or not to repair someones grve in a combat zone (Mainly because I do very little combat now) but I expect that I would repair it. When im wandering around, doing farming or in brim agil arena I always repair graves, as I would hope others would do for me (Far fetched hope tho) One change i think should be made, especially in busy areas is your grave should dissapear once you get back and claim your stuff, coz u cant always tell if theyve been back and U could easily be wasting your points on an empty grave. Once, I was going to the mage arena and got totally owned by revs, just made it back to ardy bank but died at the booth and some guy blessed my grave for me...I made it back within a min or so tho, and wouldnt have lost anything except my boots of lightness (got 10 pairs banked lol) but because he was kind I gave him a prayer pot in return, and i got my own bones in return...which, as silly as it sounds, was kinda creepy lol

I was browsing the RSOF and came across this post..I won't give the names of the mod or the user. The eventual reply, after locking the thread and adding the message "I'll type up a reply shortly, please be patient - thanks :)" was There are a few questions I'd like to put to you, (1) Do YOU think Jagex endorses satanism with the release of the summoning skill (2) Do you think that any aspect of the game might sway someones personal beliefs, example - if someone worships zammy in game, may this lead to them changing their real-life beliefs and becoming a satanist ? (3) How do you think jagex (or rather that j mod) handled the very awkward statement ? Personally, I don't think the summoning skill was meant to be compared to satanism itrw, and when you think about it there are alot of other things in the game that could "possibly" be objected against. You could go as far as to say that killing things in the game could potentially lead to ppl going out and killing things itrw, same with thieving, this could potentially lead to ppl going out there and stealing from shops and eachother. (Personally I don't believe a word of the above paragraph, but I know alot of ppl out there, not those who necessarily play runescape tho, DO believe in such things, hense the banning of certain games in certain countries etc) Lastly, I think that everything the jmod said is correct, afterall this is a FICTIONAL GAME, nothing in it should be seriously compared to trw or should lead to anyone changing things in their life ( although due to the nature of this, and many other games, there ARE similarities to the real world.)

Shame they took it down..and even bigger shame theyre getting the vids removed from youtube..... But if this code is there, and WASN'T an easter-egg and was an actual mistake...I wonder if this means that when we die with the required items to summon something, the creature is "born" and just wanders around aimlessly...or do you think with some monsters it will fight the thing that killed you ?? Maybe one might even bless your gravestone, or atleast repair it ? Makes you wonder dunnit :?:

I don't want to make myself look like an [wagon] like I did on the other thread...but just gonna throw the idea out there that the second anagram could possibly contain the word BARGE But as it is CONFIRMED to contain ANGRY too, the best possible thing i could come up with was ANGRY BARGE DOES SHINE Other ideas ------------- "BEHEADING ANGRY ROSY"..That sounds like fun "ANGRY GOD, HE IS NEARBY!" :ohnoes:

Well I was gonna write about how I thought i'd take a different route to granite seing as many have thought about it. Just re-read dd4 and noticed granite doesn't fit in the banshee anagram...DOH!! However on the topic of disregarding things...i found this rather bizarre possibility if we didnt use "use" and "net" but did use "granite" and "crab" :ohnoes: tease granite crab anus :ohnoes: Can just imagine it... "use stick on granite crab" crab "eek!" "You now have a brown sticky stick!" :XD: ----------------- OK..maybe.. use a granite scarab net ?(Use a net, giant scarab) Maybe use a net on scarabas or something ? (I aint done the quest) (I dunno why but i think it has something to do with scarab..being the most recent quest and all)

Not trying to make u look bad or anything Xharock but for the purpose of the "discussion" (If you can call it that :? ) about your image...i've found a few little problems with it, problems that would not have been there in an image released, or leaked, from jagex. 1 & 2 - Simple cropping errors 3 & 4 - misalignment of the box shadows 5 - skil icon is much bigger than others, it touches the edge 6 - the total lvl box cuts into the pillar If you want me to delete this post Xharock, I will Having said that, its still a damn nice fake/concept

While getting my fishing up to 76 i decided to have a go, and this is what i've come up with. (Best ones in bold) use net giant scarab ear use a satanic barage net use net scarab eat grain use net bargain cats ear use net in a great scarab use net it range a scarab use net as crab are giant ranger use net as bait ac use net at a scarab reign use net at big scar arena use net at crab sign area use net rags are at cabin <>

Yup, sweetcorn and w/melon are a real pain. What I do/used to do, is plant em at catherby and draynor patches and plant sackable or basketable ( :? ) crops in the other two

ok i dunno if this has been mentioned, or if it indeed is a change...but... the bush patch at rimmington...now has a small tree in the south east corner (stopping 360 degree access to the patch) whereas im absolutley positive it only used to be a small bush not so long ago pic Of coruse not that this has any effect on anyone (Unless ur chopping normal trees outside your rimmington house portal) it just seems weird to me (if they have changed it, its an odd change, and if they havent, well i better start getting more sleep) lol :XD: edit: ok the tree patch in the gnome stronghold has a bush in the same place as the tree at rimmington bush patch so im probably wrong on this one :?

Just lvl'd :XD: 228k til next one :( About 10 days at my going rate of 40-60 patches a day depending on what else im doin

Just a quick tip.it of info incase some of you didnt know (Not that it applies to anyone on here im sure :P and im sure most, if not all already knew, but i didnt until a cpl of days ago :oops: ) Source: Rule 1 So, taking it from that...you can report the next n00b you see shouting "need gf" :XD:

Ya know when u just simply cba to play ? Well these are some summoning concept pics I came up with...not the best but meh I know the contrast on the first is a bit out and the fire-butterfly is a few degrees off but I was only trying to get/give an idea of what they might look like...not trying to fool anyone (I aint that patient with gfx to do that :XD:)

so ok maybe ur right, i should change it to "relatively expensive" :?

well my preparation for summoning hasnt been all that great...been hitting all the forums hard for info and stuff, then racking my brain as to what those monsters might need to be summoned I've already for half decent hunter and I cba lvling it anymore but 74 should give me a decent start if it is involved... I've collected some random stuff..list as follows [hide]100 chicken eggs 100 frogspawn 100 ashes 100 raw chicken (undead) 50 raw chicken 50 vampire dust 50 bones 50 bat bones 50 monkey bones 50 wolf bones 50 locust meat 50 skulls 50 tortoise shells 50 eagle feathers 41 vulture eggs 15 raw beef (undead) 10 proboscis 5 swamp weed 1 red egg 1 blue egg plus other normal stuff in my bank like food, chicken feathers. logs etc[/hide] Once it comes out tho, im gonna work my [wagon] off getting supplies and hopefully get a decent rank in it asap (Eventho they said it'll be slow and expensive :XD: ) Also I had decided to keep a book of knowledge for when it came out, knowing it'd only give me rubbish xp but meh, but then I got the random again and didnt get another book !!!!! :x :x so scrapped that idea and used the one I was carrying with me (It didnt even give me any extra xp eventho it was 2 books worth !!)

HAPPY BD RS Also...other way round for me...I quit smoking for a year and a half (Started again tho coz of work) and have only been away from rs for 3 days (Until I found the pc in the hotel :XD: )

The last egg is a real puzzle...but I just had a thought while trawling through forums looking for news and tidbits on summoning.... What if...the missing egg...is a drop from one of the monsters in the "huge multiway combat dungeon " they mentioned in the january bts. it does say " ...chew through ranks of creatures and speed you on your way towards that Summoning skillcape..."...could this mean, not only getting the xp from your monster fighting in the dungeon, but maybe the drops from the monsters in there are related to summoning, ie they help you achieve higher levels by dropping stuff u need ?? Just a thought And another thought, maybe the monsters have a "special attack" which we can command it to do...coz the same paragraph in the january bts mentions "Bring your combat familiar so that you can use their Steel of Legends or Insane Ferocity" Sounds like special attack nicknames to me??

Well you can see in and open and close the door if you time it right...piccy... Notice the hunter symbol on the counter?? I thought they weren't going to link it heavily to hunter (like mining to smithing) but maybe they will ?? Or maybe its just because its a pet/animal shop :?:

Say NO more :twisted: As for the topic...I just did 17 farming patches and didnt see anything =( Also...doesn't the "open" door happen just after the shop owner takes her bulldog for a walk ? Sure I read that somewhere

nice vid...never seen the eggs in tzaar before...never snooped around down there much tho... the bulldog looks cool too... As for the "big foot"... i'm a self confessed farmaholic...ive been farming for about 4-6 hrs a day for the past cpla weeks...and i havent seen ANYTHING...However...try doing a runescape forum search for bigfoot.... All it says is and doesnt show any results....not much wrong with that ? I searched for "renarr" It specifically told me there were no threads found... HMMMMMMM :?: Little bit odd me thinks

That sounds like a cool idea..it would come in very handy, as you said for fairy ring codes and that kinda stuff. To combat the possibility of lag etc, they could code it so it uses a file on OUR computers in the jagex' cache (We'd just have to be careful when cleaning out our cache thats all...lol)
