Alright guys, this is the last part of the summary of the last several weeks. Depending on my workload, I might have to stick to this format in the future (posting everything when I finally find the time). I'll do my best to update this as regularly as I can, but don't hold your breath! Part 3 (Mostly Questing): And that's about it for now guys!

Thank you very much for the support! I'll start retyping the last part soon, I should be able to get it out before I sleep.

Alright, here's the next part! Soon after the above events: Ugh, I had a lot more typed up, but the browser messed up and deleted 30 minutes worth of work. #-o Thanks to the save feature it's not everything, but I'm pretty put off right now... I'll probably type the rest up later... :wall:

Hey guys! I'm finally back...! Sorry it took so long, I was very occupied with work,and anytime I could find I found it better spent playing than typing :oops: I've done quite a bit though, so here's the update! In the next section, I will cover my adventure in Canifis! (I'm scared this will go over the word limit).

That's assuming there will be a new playerbase. The truth is, a lot of newer, better games are free now and computers that can run those games are getting cheaper and more affordable. There is little incentive for someone to pick up Runescape, especially since its subscription based but isn't that much cheaper.

Hey guys, sorry about the huge lack of updates! I'm still alive and kicking! I've been dealing with midterms and between studying and digging time to make use of my newfound membership there really wasn't a lot of time to go through and upload photos :( I've got one last batch of work tonight, and then hopefully I will still have enough energy in me to upload and narrate :)

Here's my dog. I miss him. I came to America to college and couldn't bring him over (not that I could take care of him while studying, but...). Fortunately I'll be able to see him at Christmas! I can hardly wait!

Sorry for the lack of updates guys! Schoolwork is hard, I haven't even been able to get on to do a quest or anything... I'll try and push stuff out but I'll most likely only be able to make 1~2 updates during the weekdays, sorry! Edit: Here's the week so far! 10/7~10/10 [hide] So, I tried to be smart when heading to the GE and teleported to Edgeville, knowing there is a shortcut there, and I found this guy: So awesome! there really should be more treants in this game! As a side note, My agility level wasn't high enough to use the shortcut :( Well, Off to agility training! I then went to Chaeldar to get my next task: If I finish this task, will you marry me? So, Following the advice earlier, I decided to get a Dragonfire Shield! After heading to the G.E, (making sure to use the shortcut), I found this: Penguin in a pumpkin?? Anyway, I went and put an offer in: and sooon...... Hurrah!!!! After this, I decided to go kill some stuff for my Emissary tasks in Karamja. However, I got COMPLETELY distracted by this : There's cool statues inside! I took a photo with one with the same high-5 pose: After wandering around, I found these guys: So, I tried to find out what they're doing (he's shooting at the cracked ball): WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT SKILLED ENOUGH *RAGE* I spent the next hour or so slaughtering the innocent citizens of um...Lavatown? The spoils: I got a ton of charms, but they don't seem to stack... How odd. I didn't feel happy after slaughtering innocent citizens, so I went and did something which didn't involve killing: Thieving! Master farmers are very sensitive in their pockets While I was training in Varrock, I ruined some poor fellow's life: It left a sour taste in my mouth, so I went to pickpocket some people who are more annoying: and I found my first clue scroll! The adventure of the clue scroll: [hide] On the way..... Creeeeepy....!! AAAAND....... *drumroll* Not bad for my first Clue ever! [/hide] And that's about it for now! the second half of this week is a heck of a lot of work though, so I might not be updating this until the weekends. [/hide]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :) Kalphite Hunting: [hide] The Kalphite Lair; looks dangerous The man is really weird though :o Fighting workers! They dealt a little more damage than I expected, had to run and restock after about 80 workers. Here's the loot from the first section: When I went back, I went and challenged some soldiers, and when I had two kalphites left on my task, I went and killed two guardians, one of which dropped the super attack :) I found out the bonus of Warpriest armour can proc on poison! The charms are the total from both trips, I didn't bank them because I didn't include them in the loot picture the first time. :P My slayer level literally shot up during this task (27 now)! I also got another task from my emissiary: Sounds like I have more hunting to do! What are jogres though [/hide] On a side note, I bought this off the G.E. I wanted a dragonfire shield, but it still costs a fair bit (1.2m). This shield has the SAME stats, in fact it has one more prayer point, and it costs 72k... What a steal!! ;D I guess I can only use the anti-dragon shield now for dragon hunting though :/

Sure, Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm back! Got caught up in some work, I'll try and put two days in one post Day 3 [hide] a good start :) While wandering around Catherby, I found a quest marker: Off to the fishing competition I go! Forgot to take a photo at the competetion, :( I then found this while practicing my thieving skill (I need 50 for my God helmet) Sounds Great! Time to become a master thief! While hanging around lumbridge, I decide to finish the quest I started by accident when I was trying to recover my Saradominist token: Lost city. Entrana's a beautiful place. ZANARIS IS SO AWESOME! Spending the night here! [/hide] Day 4/5: Stayed up pretty late so just counting these days together :P [hide] I decided to hang around Zanaris and kill some otherworldly beings, maybe they'll drop me a dragon med! I decided to take this opportunity and hit 75 attack to use my shiny new sword too :) and eventually.... HURRAY! Here's me with my smexy new sword, along with the loot from training: (No D-med unfortunately :( ) Well, That's enough Zanaris for now, but before I left, I decided to grab a slayer task from the slayer master: She's so cute My god emissiary agrees: However, I think I'll get some thieving levels first: Some quests I unlocked through the way and selling my loot! Alright, I think that's enough thieving for now... let's go kalphite hunting! Here's my setup for the hunt: Exciting!! First time venturing into the desert! I hope I brought enough waterskins :/ [/hide]

I'll add you :) Next part is coming up soon! I've had some work so I didn't have time to upload the photos :/ I got a little bit of work to do, I should be back in one or two hours.

! I can get membership back on my lower level character and we can fool around in P2P. That's my real name, not my IGN, haha :)

Good Morning! Start of day 2! [hide] Upon logging in, I found a message in the chatbox: I ran over asap, and found a massive demon fighting a group of players! I died many times, and accidentally lost my dragon saradominist token :( however, here are the rewards: I went back to the crater to try and reclaim my token, but there were no recruitment officer to reclaim it from... Is it gone for good? I wandered around the back and spotted a quest marker! I would love to help, but... Oh well... I'll help you later then. After that disappointment,I dropped by the wizards' tower. I remember a members minigame being on top, and went to investigate what's it all about. I want that hood he's selling! Yes!, finally got enough points for the hood! GIMME!! WHAT!? Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Yes please... With the hood, I decided to complete some more of my God emissary tasks Looks like we're heading on a roadtrip to Ardougne! What a view! Catherby's such a relaxing place! I decided to spend a night here: The room even comes with free wine! Alrighty, let's head towards Ardougne! Finally completed the task! aaand the next task is at Yanille! I'm not sure I really need to travel that far yet, but I do kinda want to finish this set of tasks. I might just go for a short visit and fully explore Yanille/Ardougne later! [/hide] Short break for now, got some work to do.

Thank you very much for the support, this is my first time becoming a member as well as my first time writing a blog! Any comments/advice is welcome! Edit: I couldn't sleep. This is too exciting! After helping the lady in Varrock with her cat, I decide it might be time to venture into some member territory. I began my travels at Burthrope, a city I have already been to. However, things have changed, and I'm here to explore what new things I can do! This man is incredibly tall :o, by the way, those statues are amazing! this guy's tall too. I sharpened my attack skills for a little while The exhaustion's finally caught up to me. I think I will finally call it a day now. I went and got the 5 year cape & hood, and I'll use it for now until I can find something better! I can't wait for tomorrow!!

Aaand- off we go! Noticed something unusual as soon as I walked out of lumbridge: [hide] [/hide] I'm glad to help! [hide] [/hide] Found a quest(or two) near the G.E., I guess I'll do it after I throw in some offers on the GE. If my memory serves, it's the cat quest :) Meow! and it's done! I bought myself a saradomin sword (a weapon I loved for a while now), then found I needed 1 more attack level to wield it. ouch. Edit: I forgot to mention I went ahead and did some of my God banner tasks. I didn't get any rewards aside from xp, so I didn't take any photos, sorry! That's all for day 1!

Hello, and welcome to my humble blog! [hide] Hi. My name is Ping. I'm not a frequent poster on Tip.it, and I'm not too outspoken in game either. I am 18 years old and I am from the small island of Taiwan. English isn't my native language, so I apologize beforehand for any silly grammar errors. I apologize for the lack of information, I'll add more if things work out, but right now I don't feel comfortable disclosing too much information. Outside of Runescape, I play League of Legends and DoTA 2. I mostly play DoTA 2 now, but League is where I started that genre of games, so it'll always have a special place in my heart. :wub: [/hide] A little bit about my runescape history. Some self "rules" of my playthrough: I will avoid using quest-guides if possible.I will also avoid "quest hunting", where I go to a place purely to complete a single quest for the reward. An exception to the above rule is if I really wish to visit an area, and quests are involved. I believe it's more adventure-like as you will do whatever you are required to get to where you want to go. The above rule applies more towards item rewards.Trade is allowed, but I will try not to abuse it.I'm taking out the rules, I found out it's difficult to have fun while having to watch out for rules all the time, ahaha! To make up for the FREEDOM! atrocity of removing rules, I'll put some goals here: Current Goals: Elf quests up to crystal bow50 Agility for Crystal BowMetal Dragon Hunting (Near future) Future goals: [hide] Item Goals Zarosian Relic Helm (Done!)Saradomin GodswordArmadyl BattlestaffFaithful ShieldFire capeCrystal BowBig Axe that killsl Dagannoths (sp?)Void Questline SwordDragonrider stuff (dropped, not bought)last pieces of my Saradomin WarpriestLevel goals 50 Agility (Crystal Bow)50 Thieving (Relic Helm)77 Magic (Armadyl Battlestaff)Ability to summon an impressive summoning familiarMonster Hunting Goals: Giant MoleKing Black DragonMithril Dragon Ultimate goal: Quest cape[/hide] This blog will be a semi-RP play of RS, with lesser focus on optimal speed/gear. Alright, now that I'm through with all the introductory stuff, lets show you where I'm starting at: [hide] Starting Stats: Starting Gear: (Yes, that's a rune med. I think it looks way better than a full helm) Starting bank: [/hide] Ah, a humble beginning for a humble adventurer. At the time I post this topic, I will be paying for my membership and beginning my adventure! I am in college, but I will play when I feel comfortable and can find the time. I will try and keep this updated as much as possible! My Runescape name is Fobbo, feel free to add me as a friend or drop me a message! I'm always lurking around the tip.it chat when I'm online! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy watching my adventure!

Thanks for all the help guys! I have decided that I will become a member! The struggle now is when, as there is no current prize for subscription. The 12 month package seems awesome, except to my understanding it no longer contains runecoin and all the extra bits and pieces, yet retain the same price. I mean, I would much prefer to spend ~6.25 a month with the 12 month package, but it just feels horrible knowing it gives me so much less because I wasn't able to buy it earlier. I'll probably see if anything comes up in the next 1~2 weeks, then decide what I want. I'm thinking of getting a shorter one for now, in case a promotion comes up. Edit: I've just read a post on the RS forums stating that premium membership will come up again soon. I guess I'll just do a 3 month membership first and check things out. If it turns out that I love it, premium membership shouldn't be a huge problem :)

I think I have one or two sides lying around that I used to do holiday events on, so those could work. The account thing is a tough choice though, I mean, I did put so much time and effort into this account it feels stupid not to, but at the same time it's kinda like hey, you've kept this account f2p for so long, why give up now? Also, what are some options I have to buy membership? Is there still a promotion for membership, like free stuff/cheaper prices? How do bonds factor into this, are they cheaper than buying membership straight up? I can blow about 2/3 of my bank to buy a bond, does that give me access to everything p2p has (Mainly, can I change names?)? I admit I am a little bit scared of membership. I used to play Runescape enough I knew everything, had a plan and a list of everything I'd get as soon as I reached members, but that is no longer the case. I took a 2 year break until last December, and then another break until recently where I tried to get the BoL rewards. I mean, the amulet of fury, armadyl, Recipe of disaster gloves aren't the best anymore... I am quite genuinely lost on what I will do, and what I will aim for when I do. Just as a side note for the P2Ps out there, do you find yourself spending lots of extra money? E.g. spins, cosmetics, etc.

Hello, I've stalked the forums on and off for years now, but I've rarely posted. But I have a question to ask. Yes, the age old question. Should I get membership? It's been tearing me apart recently, mainly because I got my own debit card and can now afford to pay for some games. Runescape's been an interest of mine for a while now, and I've always longed to go into membership, and do the quests full of lore, obtain powerful weapons and adventure into the massive world that has been held away from me for so long. The BoL also sparked my interest, especially since I couldn't complete the set in time and now the only way to get it is, unfortunately, in the GWD. I've also wanted a name change since the day they were released :/ But, on the flip side, Runescape is subscription based, which isn't a problem, except the subscription runs whether I play or not. This has always kept me distanced from RS subscription because i know I'll be bleeding money whenever I go on a holiday, or am overloaded by work. This slow money drain also might make me play the game just so I don't "lose money" and might lead to worse studies...etc. I'm a college student now and I am very aware of the heavier workload associated to it. Another thing is I do play other games. Dota 2, League of Legends are both games I love to play, and they require time too. Lastly, I've been a F2P for...8? 9 years? I don't remember anymore, but this is a old f2p account, and to be honest, I kind of don't want to make it members. The obvious solution is to just make a new account, but would that be worth it? I can't be sure. So, here it is. Have anyone else struggled with this before? Members/nonmembers, what have kept you with your decision? I would love to hear some experiences too!

It appears they drop at GWD now from units of their own factions

Sorry, but I don't understand how this makes money? If you bought them off the G.E, who do you sell them to?

Well, I've just found out the drapes and both guilds in the area are off-limits. A tad disappointing :(

Costly =/= Difficult.

Thank you, The reason I mentioned the Law/Nature staffs is to use as a non-degrading substitute to the Gravite staff. I know it's worse than the bat wand but I don't like wands (they burn through runes), and while I really want a chaotic they seem far away. In that regard, would they still be useless?
