Thanks. ;3 Although it's 2,002 now. <3: Page 9!!! <3.

recent PROGRESS 91 Herblore 79 Slayer 75 Mining 73 Hunter 71 Smithing 2000 Total Level Crusty bump for a crusty blog! I still don't have any new goal for myself. As of late, I have been Slaying lazily and concentrating on Torstol farming. <3:

Unfortunately (as mentioned already), NO items from Stealing Creation stack in your bank or inventory. This is due to each item having a specific "%-left/%-used" value assigned to it.

It isn't. :P Welcome to Tip.It, have a cookie! I agree with all of your sentiments! Tip.It is awesome.

I will happily assist you with any and all Farming effigies. I haz 99. :3

Derp. That he is. My bad.

Calquats are great. Fairly cheap, too.

I don't even... After briefly scanning the update, my head is really hurting.

Look at my slowly dying... <_< Oh well. At least I still look hot in my Farming cape. :-w

Great article, Rach. :thumbup:

I didn't know I could plant a tree in Draynor? Where exactly is it? To clarify, this is a Spirit tree patch and not a regular/Fruit tree patch.

All herbs take roughly 75 minutes (an hour and 15 minutes) to grow.

It's also worth nothing that once you start using Juju farming potions, if you use the Trollheim herb patch, it's important to start your herb run at this patch. Taking a dose of Juju potion and then teleporting and running to the Trollheim patch wastes valuable time. The more "common" order for Juju farming is: Trollheim patch Port Phasmatys (Ectophial) Falador (Explorer's ring) Ardougne (Ardougne cloak or Fishing Guild teleport [Lunars]) Catherby (Camelot teleport or Catherby teleport [Lunars]) It's nice to end at Catherby because it's right by a bank. :thumbup:

No.

A lot of people. :thumbup:

If it helps any, I can confirm that this is correct. The items were changed due to the Wilderness update. :thumbup:

Need I remind you... [hide][/hide] :shades:

I drink every once in a while, and enjoy it. Drinking is a social event... about once a week (Friday or Saturday nights) I go to a local bar with a small group of my friends. It's actually 6 (six) different bars, but they are all connected via a central courtyard. Basically, once you get I.D.'d and enter, you can move about the various bars at your leisure. One of the bars is outdoors and there are pool (billiard) tables and a stage for live music. One of the other bars is inside a newly-built "nightclub" (basically it's a big empty warehouse that they converted into a huge dance floor with a bar in the middle.) My friends and I hang out, have a few drinks, sit around and talk (they have outdoor patio tables/chairs as well as heaters for cold nights), walk around and say hello to people we meet or know. At some point we eventually head to the nightclub and dance for the rest of the night. I don't really see any harm in that. I won't pretend that I haven't drank too much before. I've experienced what you would call a "black out" only twice before. The first time was on my twenty-first birthday, so it's a bit understandable that I overdid it seeing as how the bar I mentioned above gives you a few free drinks on your birthday. The second time was at a friend's house. I did get a bit sick, and some of the events that happened are (still...) a bit foggy, but I wasn't hurt... nothing bad happened, no one else was injured in any way. For the first few months after I turned twenty-one I drank a lot at home, but I soon realized that sitting at home by myself drinking wasn't a very good sign. I no longer buy and keep alcohol in my house. I still buy wine and other drinks if I'm going to dinner at my sister's house, but we are all adults and are just having a drink or two with dinner. As far as "drugs go:" a few times when I've been drunk, I've smoked a couple of cigarettes. That's the extent of my "drug use." I have never tried anything else, including weed. I don't plan on it, even if it were eventually legalized. I'm not QUITE sure why I have this mindset... I have heard a lot of the "For and Against" arguments, but when I was younger I simply told myself that I would never try it, and I've kept to it all this time. I try to not judge people who smoke pot. My own brother and his friends smoke pot, and I really don't see what right I have to judge them or look down on them for their choices - it just isn't for me.

No. You can only cast Energy Transfer when Pauline is drained.

No. Cooking was the first skill I got 99 in, and I'm proud of it. Granted it's no longer my "favorite" skill and I don't wear the cape any longer, but that isn't because I'm ashamed of it, or don't consider it an achievement. I basically just wear the skillcape from the latest 99 I got... when I got 99 Woodcutting, I started wearing it instead of my Cooking cape, then moved on to Magic, etc. Honestly, it really only matters what you think about. The "greatness" of an achievement is relative. Simply because you or I might think a skill is "easy" or quick to get doesn't mean that that person had an easy time getting it, or didn't spend a lot of time on it. Edit: On another topic, it also really, really bothers me when people with 99 Cooking look down on other people for having 99 Cooking. A lot of the time their excuse is, "Well, it wasn't my first 99," but really... that doesn't make any difference in my opinion. Take two people. One person gets 99 Runecrafting first, and then gets 99 Cooking. The second person gets 99 Cooking first and then gets 99 Runecrafting. Why does that make the second person's (who get 99 Cooking first) achievement any less great?

Really though, isn't it ultimately up to Jagex to decide what they spend their resources, money, development and time on? There will always be at least one person who finds an update to be pointless, but in the same regard, there will always be at least one person who finds that update (whether it be new content, or a re-vamp of old content) to be a worthwhile update. I've been playing RuneScape since 2001, and I have found every single holiday update to be enjoyable. I'm glad that Jagex sets aside a week of content in order to work on them. It is unrealistic to expect a new quest, a new skill, new new new every single week... I think it's perfectly acceptable to step back and dedicate a week to a holiday event. It might not be as exciting a week as the release of X-Quest might be, but it provides a lot of players with enjoyment, which justifies the time and resources needed to create them. (And really, who can argue against giant turkeys that you get to pwn...?)

Livid Farm. <3: New Lunar spells. <3: Clan Camp. <3: I would be a bit displeased about the addition of a teleport to Evil Trees, save for the fact that it'll last for only five weeks. I'm sure ETC will go wild over this. Sounds like a good month to me!

GOTTA CATCH EM ALL! POKKKEEEEEMOOOOOON! Crap. Did I read the wrong April Fool's memo...? <_<

Belated "Congratulations," Carl! :thumbsup:

Maybe their April Fool's joke is that they have you all believing that you must wait for the BTS? Maybe they'll release it on time, much to your surprise. I like holiday quests. :thumbup:
