Serpent Eye

Sadly it seems people are more interested in hot celebrities and things like that than they are in books and literature. I was a strong proponent of allowing book/author/literature discussions in VL rather than in OT, but like Kim said, it really didn't change much of anything. And now of course I think it got moved back into OT. I don't think it ultimately matters where the discussion ends up. Like-minded people will seek that sort of stuff out no matter what forum it's in, and uninterested people will continue to ignore it.

Being on Lunars isn't strictly necessary for quicker herb runs, but it makes them a lot easier in my opinion. I've been on Lunars constantly for the past two years, and it has never negatively affected my playing. It really just depends on your method of playing, and what else you like to do besides Farming. Fertile Soil and Cure Plant are both invaluable. Granted, since the release of the money pouch it isn't a big issue, but before it was very annoying trying to Cure diseased herbs if you didn't have coin or a Plant cure potion with you. The greatest benefit to Fertile Soil is that you can compost your herbs (any patch really) even AFTER you have planted the seed, whereas with buckets of compost, if you forget to compost the patch before planting, you're kind of screwed. The Fishing Guild and Catherby teleport spells are also really tailor-made for Farming, especially if you don't have access to Ardy cloak 3 or 4. I haven't unlocked them myself (I already had 99 Magic and Farming when it came out) but the Livid Farm spells (Trollheim teleport, Remote Farming) are also very helpful. I can't offer advice on the costs of using Lunars since I don't track my profit/losses with Farming, but honestly it doesn't really burn a hole through my pocket. I only have to buy Astrals, Laws and Nature runes every once in a while. If you use a Mystic mud staff, you can eliminate the need for Water and Earth runes entirely. Juju farming potions are awesome and if you're able to, you should start to make and use them ASAP. Farming is enjoyable and can be profitable without them, but they really do make everything even better. If you do Dungeoneering at all, you should consider getting the Scroll of life reward as it helps as well. In my own experience, the lowest tiers of Greenfingers aura sucked. I bought Greenfingers and stopped using shortly after. I don't know if it was a string of bad luck or a glitch, but my yields started to suck. Now I've worked up to Master greenfingers and use it during every run I do - sometimes you don't see any benefit, but I know someone (Lord Paul?) said he's got something like 8 extra herbs back on a single run from Master greenfingers alone. As far as your route goes, the only thing that would matter is if you use Juju potions or not (or if you have unlocked Trollheim teleport with Livid Farm.) If you use Juju potions, you should start at My Arm's patch as it takes longest to get to. The order in which you go to the other four patches doesn't matter. I personally do Mushroom (can't do every herb run) -> Cactus -> Trollheim -> Ecto -> Fally -> Ardy -> Catherby. Catherby is my last stop as it's closest to a bank. Happy farming! :-) It really sucked typing this all out on my phone! ;_;

Still not as bad as when Smelly's topic exploded forums for like 4 days.

I'm turning 24 this year ;_;

Logging in and out multiple times might be resetting things. If you're logged in for a full 90 minutes, I'm not sure why they wouldn't grow back in time.

Cutting Magics sucks even at 99 WC. :thumbup:

Never done me wrong in the past. :) *rolls in money*

You want a minimum of 750k in your coffers at all times - I personally keep mine at 1.5M to give myself a safety net should I forget to top it off for a few days. RuneScape Wiki has a Miscellania Calculator that shows what the best/most profitable resources currently are. Just Google "RuneScape wiki Miscellania calculator" and a link should come up for the page. (Probably worth bookmarking it if you do MTK regularily.) MTK is still profitable without Royal Trouble, but given that the extra workers only help more, I'd complete it as soon as you're able.

Everyone's clearly watching the wrong anime. :-P

Sometimes. :-P Most I've got with Master greenfingers has been 4 extra herbs.

I like clues just the way they are. It's disappointing getting worthless items a lot of the time, but I still enjoy running around doing them and the possibility of getting a rare or valuable item is still thrilling to me. I do every clue I get immediately, so being able to stockpile them wouldn't really excite me.

We wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place if they actually stuck to what they said in the past. :P

Or give the money directly to Jason. <3:

Would valid questions be: Is it NOT considered gambling because you don't win tangible goods? Or IS it considered gambling because you are putting real-world money towards it? ? Edit: It's 3:30 AM so they may not be valid questions.

Lolz :thumbup:

That surprises me as well. If you're a younger kid and your parents are paying for your membership with their credit/debit card, you can just log into your RuneScape account and make all these charges to your parents card? And Jagex evidently won't refund the money? :rolleyes: I also give a REALLY big eyeroll to the excuse that "this isn't gambling because technically every spin wins." Herpa derpa derpa.

Yeahhhh but has Zynga been like "DON'T REAL WORLD TRADE OR YOU WILL BE BANNED FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN" for 10 years? And then suddenly started offering real world trades in their own games? <_<

Oh dear lord. I just skimmed the update earlier. I assumed you could buy the spins with RuneScape gold.... not real-world cash. This is a ridiculous update. NEXT WEEK: $4.99 FOR 1m EXP IN ANY SKILL OF YOUR CHOICE! WE ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS AND PAYPAL!

:shades:

You seem to be under the impression that you don't have to update this blog.

Thanks! :-)

I do agree. HYT is a lot different than it used to be, but a lot of it is for the better. :) At any rate, I'm doing my best, and that's all I can do. The mad and derp of things is just what one makes of it or takes out of it. :P VOLDEMORT!

Yesssssssssss. :thumbup:

Safe!

If at all possible. <3:
