The runecrafting experiance table is incorrect ) Jagex nerfed it, unfortunately :(
For Death runes you now get 2xp per 10 runes crafted - don't know about the others. Perhaps other people could help there as I have given up doing the skill until there is proper support for solo players.

I agree that inappropriate ads (including RS gold sellers etc) should be blacklisted and understand why Google ads has been removed. I will also continue to report any inappropriate ads to the admin team.
However, bowing to Jagex and banning adverts for other games, is not in the spirit of free competition. We live in a democracy ( at least a lot of us do) not a dictatorship and the admin team should not accept Jagex's demand to remove advertisments for other games sites. After all if RS is truly the number 1 MMORPG as Jagex advertises then they should not be afraid of a little competition. I, for one will NOT be reporting any adverts I see for competing games, and if that means exclusion from Tip.it then so be it.

Liked both articles.
2nd article -
I also remember the days when people specialized more and I do agree that the GE has killed most of this specialization.
I also agree with giving us more "boss" monsters that require teams to kill as it will encourage co-operation. However, these monsters should be new monsters NOT revamped old ones. The old ones should be left alone to give players a chance to test their solo skills. In fact IMO it would be great to add a few more challenging "boss" monsters that can only be soloed (like Nomad).
On the subject of quests. These should be single player tasks with any help being given by NPCs. The problem with multi-player quests is getting people to help you when you want. It took me 5 years to complete Legends because I could never find someone to help when I was wanting to do the quest.

Personally I can't understand what all the whining is about as it doesn't really affect anything atm. It took me all of 10 secs (if that) to get used to it.
I do wonder though if this change has been made because of the upcoming new skill?
-
I realize that this was before the compromise, but come ON....
"It wasnt long before the next shoe dropped, and Strykewyrms were introduced, forcing players to defeat Jad before enjoying the battle with the new, most lucrative slayer monster in the history of the game. While other skills were complemented with minigames before (Thieving, Cooking, and the Stealing Creation-driven skills come to mind), this prerequisite activity adds a new dimension, and perhaps irritating requirement, to the game itself."What person with 93 Slayer doesn't have a fire cape?
I'm almost 92 slayer and I don't have one. There are 2 reasons why :
1) the Tzaar caves design and colour scheme gives me a headache after a while (the main reason)
2) I don't like mingames - the only ones I've played are those that are required for quests, achievement diaries etc.
However, if the requirement had remained I would have suffered and got a fire cape just to have full access to all slayer creatures.

No. I tried it but after a while stopped when I realised that I'd tried something almost the same before.
There are far too many games of this type available. The only way to get anywhere in this type of game is to spend lots of money. In one I joined recently the top player was boasting that he spent hundreds of dollars a month to keep his top status.
TBH I am disappointed that Jagex have put their name against such a game.

In order to decide whether the anti-hijack system is right for you let's consider the pros and cons.
Pros :
1) It will prevent anyone ever hacking into your account
2) More bank space (the proposed encentive to use it)
Cons :
1) Yet another thing to enter on login - you already have a password and bank PIN
2) The system will have to be compatible with all PC operating systems; windows 2000 onwards, MacOS, Linux etc. etc. If Jagex miss even one of these out it will go against the founding priciple of being able to play RS on ANY PC irregardless of age, capacity, etc. Also, chances are that if you buy new PC it will have a different OS to the PC you have and you will have to buy another dongle.
3) You won't be able to play RS on public computers, eg. at libraries, or internet cafes, as the majority of these places do not allow you to plug hardware into their computers to reduce the risk of virus's etc.
4) You will have to buy the thing which makes a mockery of F2P as it will no longer be truly "free"
5) Chances are that if you are playing on a laptop you may not have a free USB port to insert the device into, so immediately you are disadvantaged which again goes against the founding principles of RS (see 2).
6) If the device works in the same way as similar devices I have come across if you lose it (or damage it) you will not be able to access RS again until you have persuaded Jagex that you have lost it, paid for a new one and waited for it to arrive. Depending on where in the world you live this could take several weeks.
Looking at the above list, it is obvious to me that the cons far outweigh the pros and, IMO, the idea, although sounding good at first, seems to be not very well thought out by Jagex. Also, as has been pointed out, anyone with half a brain knows not to give passwords to "friends" and to have a reliable virus checker on their PC.
I, for one, will not be taking advantage of this "offer" despite the "bribe" of extra bank space
-
Hey, I've got a good idea - why not petition Jagex to give us all 99s when we create an account that way we can all do anything we want when we start and we will not have people whining because they have to "work" to make their character good.

All this talk of carrots reminds me of a stupid joke someone told me the other day it goes something like this :
Q - Why do rabbits have good eyesight?
A - Because they eat carrots
Q - Why can Foxes see in the dark?
A - Because they eat rabbits.....
-
The most desired item in RS......
Can only be one thing.....
That tiny yellow item.......

Most likely, the official thread was updated, it seems that it's late at the Jagex towers and most of the mods are gone. I'm picturing frantic scrambling to get a patch out. One of the biggest glitches to hit RS.O come on
1 on the glitch
1 on the places closed
now 1 on the system update?
It's big news, and too many people don't bother reading the RSOF.
To be exact it is approx 1am in UK so TB@JT are working extremely late =D>
-
I had a similar thing happen to me. To deal with it I used the following process :
1) report to Jagex
2) add to ignore list
3) carry on with what I was doing
My advice to anyone getting similar events is do the same. Jagex WILL deal with the offenders.

It's a common fact between alot of players that it is becoming apparent that high lvl accounts are being bought more. This is easily seen when you see people who have no clue on something, such as a lvl 130 i seen the other day ranging steel dragons, wearing full torag. It often begs the question, where did you buy your account?
Therin lies a problem. How do you know that this lev 130 account is bought? Perhaps he just likes to fight steel dragons this way, or perhaps he has not yet worked out the best way to fight them. Heck, it could even be the first time he has ever killed them!!!! Just because someone is lev 130 does not mean that you have experiance of every monster in RS.
I have personal experiance of accusations that I have bought my account. On 3 occasions I have been killing Abherrent Spectres with my Dragon Longsword and have been accused of having bought my (lev 124 combat) account simply because I am not using a Dragon Scimitar, or Whip. When I tried to explain to them that I liked my Dragon Longsword and furthermore told them it was none of their business what weapon I choose to use they kept taunting me. One of them even threatened to report me, so I told him to go ahead if he wanted to get a black mark for false reporting as I have had the account (my only one) for around 5 years and have been paying the monthly subscription from the same bank account for most of that time. I got so p****d off with this that I went to the Cave Horrors and got a black mask so I could make a slayer helm and go fight Abyssal Spectres in the smoke dungeons (with my trusty Dragon Longsword!!) without having noobs accuse me of account buying.

I don't see how Jagex could even take legal action because cheating on video games isn't illegal.
Agreed - cheating on video games isn't illegal BUT RS is not a video game it is a network based game and as such everything is owned by Jagex. We do not "buy" the game as in true video games we only "rent" our character as Jagex owns ALL rights to your character. We all sign an agreement (although most people do not read it) to that effect, and cheating is against that agreement and so IS illegal.
As most of the RWT sites are not UK based and with the problems of even identifying the site owners then any legal action is going to be difficult and very expensive.
Several people keep saying WOW won their legal case, so why can't Jagex? Well, for one thing, the WOW case did not involve RWTing and to be honest was unique. What they sucessfully prosecuted (as far as I am aware) was a lawsuit against a group of programmers (hackers, if you like) who were breaking the WOW code to produce cheats etc. which they then sold. Unfortunately for this group, they were identified and as they were based in the same country as Blizzard were relatively easy to prosecute. It should be noted that even though Blizzard won the case they ended up losing money.

I'm probably old enough to be the father of some of the people on this board :-w

All this thread seems to be discussing is the number of people that have 99 in a skill. In my view you "master" a skill when you reach a level above which there is no longer anything new to do with the skill. For example you "master" mining at lev 85 when able to mine rune, you master farming at lev 85 when able to grow torstal ....etc. There are only a few skills that need lev 99 to master, smithing being one of them.

I'm a pro clue scroll hunter, takes me 7-15 mins a clue (depending on where the treasure is) Clues are like playing a way better odds lottery, and its fun to see the surprise items :D
really? u can get to the 4-8 spots and kill the wizard and sometimes solve the puzzle box in 15mins on opposite sides of the runescape map
Quite easy to do that - its called teleporting (including Fairy Rings) :wall: Most clues are only a short distance from a teleport/fairy ring spot.
-
I always do clue scrolls whenever I get them, but I don't go clue hunting on purpose. Its not about the money its about the rewards and the prestige. I am trying to collect all the "rare" rewards. This means I only sell these rewards when I get more than 1.
I have also recently been keeping a record of all my clues. So, for those interested in the money here is what I have recorded :
No of lev 3 clues done - 58
Maximum monetary value (at today's rates) - 1,133,795 gp
Minimum monetary value - 16061 gp (37 lobster + 21 blood runes :wall: )
Average monetary value - 95477 gp
Those are just the ones I have records for - I have done a lot more, but have yet to get a 3rd age item. However one of these days....... :pray:
-
Look folks - its just a piece of art work. Stop reading things into it - it has no relation to anything :wall:
-
The chances of getting a third age item from a clue is 1 in 10,000.
So we just need to do 10,000 treasure trails? Sweet, I'm only 9874 away from my first 3rd Age Armour.
Incorrect :wall: . The CHANCE of geeting 3rd age is 1 in 10,000 - you could end up doing 20,000 and still not get a single 3rd age, but then again you could do just 1 and get some 3rd age - depends on your luck .
-
Everyone gets utter junk from TT's from time to time. Heck from one lev 3 treasure trail all I got was several colours of firelighters - not worth the effort :wall: . But I keep doing TT's - you never know your next one might be 3rd age armour. :thumbsup:
-
I would certainly use protect prayers - after all I have earned the right to use them.
Having said this a good PKer could quite easily get round this by carrying at least two forms of cambat styles with them as you cannot pray protect from more than 1 combat syle at any one time.

Like many others my RS first RS account is the one I am still using. Created just a few months before RS2 started and no black marks!
I did create another account just to see what the new tutorial is like. That character is sitting in Lumbridge and is likely to be there for evermore \
-
I hate going back to a bank with empty slots in my inventory. So, if I have some empty slots I will kill a few more just to fill my inventory up - assuming of course I have enough supplies to carry on killing. So, in answer to you question yes I do kill "one more".
