Yes, but only for Sheep Shearer, Cook's Assistant, Ernest the Chicken, The Restless Ghost and Unstable Foundations. I looked up all the F2P quests in Tip.It's knowledge base and those were the only ones listed (except Sheep Shearer of course). I knew they had done updates to a bunch of quests a while back, but I didn't realize they had updated the rewards as well until I looked them up.

Dude. You change names more often than my ex-wife changes hair color. :lol: Seriously though, I like Snowy Joseph. Goes well with the new sig. :thumbup:

The original reward must have been 60 coins then. Although, with all honesty, it's been so long since I did it, I really don't remember.

Congrats Sonic! :thumbsup: You're on really on your way to becoming a true Dungeon Master. No, wait...that's a different game. :lol:

Skills pure? Very cool. :thumbsup: How do you make your money? Is superheating steel that profitable?

Very nice. :thumbsup: You've got a real talent for those.

The "hide" and "spoiler" commands do the same thing, and are used in the same way. [hide=hide] [hide][/hide][/hide] [spoiler=spoiler] [spoiler][/spoiler]

Thanks Creaphis! :grin: Keeping things fun while grinding away, especially mining, can be a bit of a challenge, but I try my best. Thanks for the tip. I had no idea about this, and it's not mentioned in the quest database. I took a small break from mining to go see Fred once again. I wonder if he remembers me after all these years... [spoiler=I guess he does.] But he's still grumpy. :lol: He only gave me 1940 coins though. Still, I've submitted a update to the quest database so other old-timers like us will know they can go back and receive this huge windfall. :^_^:

Congrats on the levels. :thumbsup: It's amazing how much faster the gathering skills other than Mining can go. I'm glad to see using Stiles to note your lobsters is working out, but why don't you cook them as well? It doesn't take much time to cook a whole inventory, Stiles will still note them, and you could be training Cooking as well as Fishing. Or are you planning on cooking them all in one go later?

Before the last server update we had a button right on the task bar, like for pictures and urls. It would be nice to have it back.

The absolute #1 F2P skill moneymaker is mining Runite ore. It's a real pain in the neck though, and you need 85 Mining to do it. You could always give lobster fishing on Karmaja a go. It's easier to do than Smithing and requires no more cost than a lobster cage. Heck, bring an axe to cut some wood and cook them at the same time (not as much profit though). As for superheating, you could always buy Mithril ores and Nature runes and mine your own coal in the Mining Guild. Then simply sell the bars on the G.E.. Still slow, but lots of profit and the benefit of training 3 skills at once. Good luck.

Dag Zokot! That's some pretty impressive RC numbers there. Well done. :thumbsup:

A quick update on an old favorite. If you've already completed the quest (I did it years ago), you can return to Fred the Farmer and he'll give you 1940 coins. [hide][/hide] The quest database says the quest reward is 2000, though.

Thanks for all your kind words everyone! <3: zhong, I don't use mousekeys because I drop each ore as I mine it. That way I'm not stopping to drop the whole load at once. Mousekeys are allowed because it's not a program or one-button drop so you still have to do everything yourself, they just allow you to do it faster. You should check out Wakka's Mousekeys Guide for more info. Not much of a mining update today. After finding out about the Blood Pact quest, I decided to go through Tip.It's quest knowledge base and see if anything else had been changed or added. Now, this probably won't be news to the rest of you but I found that a couple of the old F2P quests had updated rewards I had yet to claim. So with my latest Mining level under my belt, I decided to get caught up with my quests. [hide=Unstable Foundations] I love this knight's name :lol: I missed the "thank you" screen though. :wall: If you haven't done this yet, talk to him and watch a neat cut scene with a 3-headed dragon.[/hide] [hide=The Restless Ghost][/hide] [hide=Cook's Assistant][/hide] [hide=Ernest the Chicken][/hide] Not bad for a couple of quests I finished years ago, eh? I used the ancient bones and the xp lamps on my Prayer, so now I'm only 34xp away from level 44. :thumbsup: That's probably going to be the next level I get when I'm done with Mining. I still have yet to do the Shield of Arrev quest. For some reason that one kind of fell by the wayside and I never completed it. *shrug* Oh well, maybe after I get to 97 I'll reward myself by turning my entire F2P quest list green. I took some time off from mining yesterday to help someone out. We started talking after was was awe-struck by my mask (and, who wouldn't be? It's awesome! <3:), and I gave him some tips on training his Mining. He said that his level was low because his main had been hacked and he lost 3 phats and a cracker...I half expected him to say his main was Zezima. :lol: Still, the chat was nice and when I found out he was trying to powermine iron at 31 Mining with only an iron pick I decided to help him out. I bought him an Addy pick ('cause I'm generous like that), helped him complete the Rune Mysteries quest so he could mine essence, and recommended he mine ess 'till 41. I know powermining copper or tin is faster than essence, but he wanted to make some money as well. It feels good to help people, to share my knowledge and experience with those still learning. I remember what it was like when I was first starting out: my friends and I in the Dwarven mine mining copper and tin, smelting bronze in the Fally furnace, making what we could on the anvils in the mine and selling it to the shops to make money for better picks then sharing the profits back and forth with each other so no one got left behind. I still remember the frustration of trying to smelt iron and having over half a load fail. :wall: The excitement of being able to finally smelt steel. The heartache and embarrassment of losing my black platebody (a gift from a generous level 40) to a scammer. How proud we were of our full iron armor; mined, smelted and smithed with our own hands. We knew nothing of xp rates or how wearing full plate armor all the time used up your run energy faster. We didn't care. It was just the three of us, sitting in my friend's basement, talking to each other irl and helping each other out. Sadly, it didn't last and I am the only one of us left; d'Artagnan is the last of the Musketeers. But I've found many new friends over the years and ultimately discovered a much larger community here at Tip.It. Sometimes, with all the training and xp/gp/hour considerations, it's easy to forget what RuneScape is about, and that's having fun. Once I am done with my Mining, that's certainly what I intend to do once again. Be it fishing, woodcutting, or just standing in the G.E. and reporting spam bots all day long! But for now, I remain focused. I have set myself a goal, and that goal is getting closer every day. Sometimes goals can be fun too. :grin:

Good luck with your goals in RSC. Looking forward to reading more. :thumbsup:

Nope. I can barely find time to play my main (and only) character, let alone a second character.

So it's better than RC, but slower than Mining. Not bad. I was wondering, is it possible to train it without gaining combat xp? I'd like to start training it when I'm done with Mining, but my long-term plan doesn't include att/def/str/con/range (magic is okay though). Can you be a skiller without being a killer? hmm...I may have found myself a catch phrase: I'm a skiller, not a killer. :grin:

Granite is the fastest. LRC gold is the best combination of speed and profit.

Well, I don't know about that... [hide=I think it looks pretty good.][/hide] Okay, so it's Saradomin and not plain Rune, but still looks pretty good considering the limited F2P options.

I always thought you were a grrrl. L Why does having a girlfriend mean I'm not? ...I really am a guy though.

Personally, I'm keeping mine because I like the way it looks. If you want to get rid of it, you can always get another one easily.

I don't see the need to allow everyone to delete their posts. The moderators here do an excellent job of keeping on top of things and deleting what is necessary. I've been on other boards where people can delete their posts and it simply confuses things when someone tries to read the thread afterward. Hextriplet, if you're that worried about someone going through your posts and making a personal profile of you (although why someone would do that is beyond me) there's a simple solution: don't post personal information. That's rule #1 if you don't want people to know about you. This is the internet where anyone can read anything ever posted/written/blogged/[bleep]ed about. Besides, you said it yourself that people can only look at the last 200 posts they made. That's less than 10% of your overall post count (plus who knows how many that didn't get added to your post count). Even if you were able to delete your posts, there's no way you could delete them all. Short of spending the next year scouring every last corner of every thread in the forum, that is.

A most excellent post, Cat Spaseman. I wish more people could be that articulate when presenting thoughts and ideas. You really should consider submitting something to the Tip.It Times. I actually had the "why do you play RuneScape?" conversation with my girlfriend a few months ago, and this sums up the intangibles of the game quite well. Like yourself, I don't put much emphasis on PvP (or much on combat at all) preferring to focus more on skilling. To all the "tl;dr" people, you really should take some time out from your busy schedules to read the whole post before simply posting blindly. Not only does it insult the poster (More than three sentences, can't be bothered. But here's what I think anyway.), it presents us in a bad light to a new member. Yes, they've admitted they're not "new", but you get my meaning.

I dunno...I generally don't trust "that dude" myself. There was this one time, at band camp... :lol: Seriously though, Swiftkit is pretty common and comes with a lot of useful extras. I know a lot of people who use it (I use it myself sometimes).
