Poor Essjay, she certainly is in a spot of bother! So lets see if weve got this right. She needs you to: Work out which character is in need of Payment Items, using each days Contact Clue. Work out what Payment Items the character requires from each days Payment Clue. Head into RuneScape and gather the required payment items. Take the items to the correct contact, and exchange them for their celebration supplies. Repeat with new clues each day, until you have all 5 lots of Celebration Supplies. Give all of the Celebration Supplies to Essjay on the last day to complete the event. The Payment Clues will be posted on this thread each day, the Contact Clues will be given to you by each contact upon receipt of their supplies (except for the first day, where Essjay will give you the first Contact Clue). [qfc]199-200-665-63754740[/qfc] Day One [spoiler=Answer - thanks to Sy Accursed] 1 team-cape 26 1 pink afro 1 beer Bring to Essjay in Varrock and then to his contact (see below) [spoiler=Contact Clue]A White-Star and Blue-Shield, they house the building you must visit.

Unbeknown to each of Timbo's guests, it was a ruse in order to blackmail each of them into giving up their rare items without having to fight them first! Timbo had acquired secrets about each, they were: Nomad - What people think is Nomad is actually a scheming Dwarf called Honeydew inside a mechanical suit Nex - While she was young, she practiced the ways of Saradomin before converting to Zaros Lucien - Only stole the Stone of Jas to impress a lady and it all suddenly got out of hand but needed to continue impressing her Wise Old Man - Uses magic to convince everyone that he's old when he's actually only 24 years old Lord Drakan - Has hidden himself from public view due to him enjoying Twilight and being unable to face another since Bank Clark - Using his inner knowledge of the Bank of RuneScape system, he has been siphoning off cabbages to fuel his addiction to the delicious vegetable Aghast with this news, each of Timbo's guests were filled with anger and embarassment. Not wanting to cause a fuss at such a prestigious party, they each decided to not to give Timbo a present that they were planning on presenting at the end of the evening. Using their combat abilities would have been too easy but the denial of presents was something that they thought would definitely hit the right spot. The withheld presents were: Nomad - An Iron pickaxe, the exact pickaxe that dug all of the underneath of Soul Wars Nex - An Uncut sapphire, one of her favourite gemstones Lucien - 10 Body runes, Lucien always thought a Disruption Shield would be useful in dire needs but wanted to give them out to a good friend Wise Old Man - A Cowhide, a reminder of the 'good old days' of Gielinor Lord Drakan - A Meat pizza, not quite the diet of Vampyre lords but delicious nevertheless Bank Clark - A Cabbage, as part of his Cabbaholic Anonymous program he needs to handle them without eating one The party carried on, guests and Timbo alike drank Gnomish cocktails and continued to eat specialty Rabbit sandwiches from Burthorpe. That was until three blood-curdling screeches could be heard from inside of the mansion. "Murder!" the waiter cried, "Murder in Timbo Mansion!". It was true, three people had been killed and only the guests could be to blame! Timbo gathered everyone, staff and guests included, at the Garden Party area for an emergency meeting. "Friends and guests, we have a murderer loose amongst the house!" Gasps came from all present, an elderly maid fainted in the background. "I am afraid to admit that we do not know who or where these murders were committed. We're bringing in a crack team of investigators who will be able to solve this. Bring in... THE PLAYERS." [spoiler=Kitchen]Kitchen A simple kitchen fit for a mansion, pots and pans line the room as you enter in an orderly fashion aside from a couple that were presumably used for dinner (Three pans look out of place as if disturbed by someone rushing through the kitchen with a large object.). The main table island in the middle of the table lies strewn with cutlery, knives and chopping boards (Only the finest silverware at Timbo Mansion.) as if no-one had tidied since the last meal. (Cleaning is an XP waste.) [spoiler=Ballroom]Ballroom A jukebox sits in the corner of the Ballroom,(The jukebox appears to be stuck on the record Decode by Paramore) stuck on a disc trying to change. The room is massive and the dancing floor shines as it covers (Its not a normal shine that covers the dancefloor, it appears to be some sort of food grease.) the vast majority of the surface of the floor. There is nothing of note in the room or the floor save for the usual scuff marks from dancing. (Upon closer inspection, the scuff marks show a struggle that happened as if someone was convulsing.) [spoiler=Conservatory]Conservatory A quiet room of solitude, Timbo used this room as his place to play RuneScape. A PC sits in the corner (Its a pretty normal PC except it has really cool looking blue lights.) with a comfy leather office chair,(Mmmm leather.) the desk has a few assorted items such as empty soda cans. The rest of the room is sparse except for a table and a set of chairs. (Would be a great place to play a game of Cluedo!) [spoiler=Library]Library A vast library sits at the heart of the mansion, three floors of bookcases strech as far as the eye can see. There are three wings of book types, a running record of all of the items left on the floor in RuneScape,(4gp, 16gp, Bones, Bones, Champions scroll imp, 36gp, Big bones) every thread that has ever fallen to page 51 (You flick through some thread titles: ***** *** ****** *****, NEW SKILL: SAILING!, mod timbo y r u so cool and need ccf help, clue 4) and the name of every player ever called a 'noob'.(You catch a loose page as it falls out: Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima) [spoiler=Study]Study As you enter the Study, you notice that it's an extremely dark and slightly dusty (A strange magic fills the room, an ancient, familiar magic that has been used millions of times that you can not quite pinpoint) room that hasn't seen much use. A grand mahogany writing desk (You find a splatter of blood. Yuck!) sits in the middle of the room, on the desk you notice what appears to be unfinished writing of some sort. (Day 68 - I cook and clean all day for that Bimbo but.. *the ink tails off into a small pool as if a heavy object dropped on the pen and its user*) [spoiler=Hall]Hall The grand hall of Timbo Mansion stands before with giant marble pillars and huge Gothic arches.(Upon closer inspection you notice that the top of one of the pillars an ancient stone has been forced there as if by magic) Dressers litter the edges of the hall (Whilst walking down the hall you notice that some of the dressers are damaged with scorch marks) with doors to various rooms, occasional hatstand and painting on the wall. (Each painting depicts a famous moment in RuneScape history, ungraciously the grandest painting in the hall is Timbo on his first day) [spoiler=Lounge]Lounge A huge room opens up ahead of you, theee 4 person sofas sit in the middle of the room with a low-standing table. (If only there was a caffeine-rich drink invented that would heighten sense and increase awareness, this would be the perfect place to put it on) An elaborate crystal chandelier sits off the ceiling, slightly slanted (Looks as if someone weakened the chandelier and then replaced it at a slightly crooked angle) and the grand marble fireplace is roaring, heating the room.(This does not look like any normal fire! It looks like Dragonkin flames, now why would they be here?) [spoiler=Dining Room]Dining Room It would be more appropriate to call this a Dining Hall, a resplendent dining table runs through the room (Looks as if someone has left their Blue Partyhat here, seems a little careless of them!) like a wooden river able to sit up to 40 guests. It seems as if the laying of the table was disrupted, a pile of clean plates and napkins sits at the end (In amongst the plates you find a precious blue gemstone, I wonder why that was being laid out?). The head chair looks overly majestic,(Someone has been carving at the wooden chair with a heavy iron instrument, its magnificent work though) it seems as if Timbo is a bit pompous. [spoiler=Answer - thanks to Sy Accursed] 10 Body Runes Cabbage Cooked Meat Pizza [hide=explination] Meat Pizza Ballroom Food grease = greasy food, eg meat, cheese etc. Someone convulsing = Convulsing due to blood loss/poison Kitchen - Run through with a large object Lord Drakan had greasy food (meat pizza), Vampyre bit would cause convulsions. Escape via Kitchen carrying body (large object) Therefore Meat Pizza. 10 Body Runes Lounge Dragonkin fire Hall Scorch Marks + Ancient Stone Study Ancient Familiar Magic Heavy Object Struck Combine to suggest Dragonkin invovled and therefore Stone of Jas (the ancient stone and why its familar and what the heavy object is) So Lucien therefore 10 Body Runes. Cabbage Dining Room Blue gem = Sapphire = Nex Blue Phat = Wise Old Man Heavy Iron Instrument = Iron Pickaxe = Nomad Process of elimination, those three all in 1 room so Banker therefore Cabbage Tbh this last bit can be used to figure out all 3 items as by same logic WOM, Nex and Nomad are together therefore must be the other 3.

You guys are much better at this sort of thing than I am. :P

From what I understand, there's currently a glitch where some players aren't getting the necklace. Hopefully they get it sorted soon. Edit: ninja'd by Den. :P

Glacy's back! And not so much a noob anymore. :wink: You've made excellent progress the last couple of months. :thumbup: I'm going to have to check here more often.

Work??? Get your priorities straight! :P

Banned for shouting.

Did anyone else get this when they logged in today? I thought the combat beta was for members' only.

Yup. I've never been a member on this, or any other, account. Weird, huh? I wonder how many other F2P'ers got invited.

I thought the combat beta was only open to people who had been a member for over a year, but when I logged in today I saw this: It says I have to log into a members' world to claim it though. Oh well, it's in my bank for now. Hopefully it won't disappear when the beta is over.

From Diango. If you were a member for all of May, you'll get a notice to go and see him when when you log in today. http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Mad_necklace

Welcome to TIF. :)

So that makes it okay? Of course it doesn't make it okay. I was merely commenting on how this kind of things seems to be the rule rather than the exception.

Sorry Gradeskip, I've got to agree with Randox on this one. The protesters lost a lot of support from people both in and out of Quebec the second the protest became violent and they stopped other students from going to school. Corrupt government and mismanagement of taxes or not (how long have they been trying to complete highway 50 between Gatineau and Montreal?), this is not the way to bring about positive change. I agree that the students should be allowed to protest, it's in Section 2 of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms - the freedom of peaceful assembly. "PEACEFUL" assembly. That's not what's happening. Also, ironically, they're denying other students the very education they say they are protesting to protect. Finally, I don't understand why anyone is surprised that Bill 78 is bordering on unconstitutional. Quebec's language laws have been nothing short of draconian for over 30 years so this kind of thing is nothing new.

Congratulations! =D>

Congratulations! 200M xp in a single skill is damn impressive. =D>

I'm really surprised that they were able to gain control of the host domain that easily. Glad to hear you've got things back under control. :thumbup:

Banned for being non-conformist.

Nice! :thumbsup: How close are you to 1400 total?

It hasn't happened just yet. It's this coming Sunday. :wink:

Congrats on getting all skills 70+! :thumbsup:

It's been released for all of what, 6 hours, and you already have all 10 pieces??? :blink: I guess they're not quite so rare, eh?

And a whole lot of awesome! :thumbsup:

Gratz on the RC levels. :thumbup: Have fun in Turkey. Make sure to 'Scape lots while you're there. :P

Welcome to Canada, home of the 8-legged moose!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! You've all been so supportive through my (probably longer than necessary :P ) journey to 99. I can hardly wait for Sunday. :grin: @Kabe, it looks like I might have given you (and everybody else) some bad info on the exact time the party is happening. :oops: Due to daylight savings it looks like GMT is only 4 hours ahead of me right now instead of the usual 5. So I've added a countdown timer to the main party post at the top of the page so there's no confusion. Just refresh the page to update the timer. Hope to see you there! :grin: No, u <3: Thanks, it's been a long road. The current maintainer of the List himself. I'm honoured. :grin: You'd better be there! *shakes fist* :lol:

Due to some confusion (mostly on my part) on the exact time what with daylight savings in different countries and all, I've added a countdown timer to the first post. Just refresh the page to update the timer. :)
