Questing and Bosses Most quests can be done at any combat level, regardless of the monsters. The weaker you are and the worse your gear is, the more skill and patience you'll need to succeed. For example, you can complete the Waterfall Quest w/ 10hp despite having to run past Moss Giants and Fire Giants which can KO you in one hit. Since the areas they inhabit aren't multi-combat, you simply have a weaker monster which can't 1-hit you attack you. By engaging in combat with a weaker monster, the stronger monster is unable to attack you. Most bosses are able to be killed via safespots. Fire strike (13 magic) is sufficient to kill most of them w/o too much time/effort spent. Some bosses, however, have really high magic resistance and/or they can attack you with ranged/magic attacks. In such cases, you can safespot them w/ melee attacks w/o taking any damage. Simply hide from the monster-- either around a corner, or by blocking them with an obstacle for example, and then attack the monster. As soon as you click "attack," immediately retreat back to your safe spot. You'll "hit-and-run" the monster and it won't be able to retaliate in time to attack you. This is how I killed Agrith-Naar from Shadow of the Storm and the Black Knight Titan from Holy Grail. Keep in mind, however, that you must wait approximately as long as it takes for the monster's HP bar to disappear before attacking again. If you hit-and-run before their HP bar disappears, you'll get hit. The Black Knight Titan is an exception to this, though. You can hit-and-run as rapidly as you want with him. Hit-and-run won't always be the best tactic, though. For example, during The Feud you can safespot the two lvl-75 bandits, however if you take too long to kill them they'll vanish. This means you'll have to fight them "head-to-head." Because you're fighting w/o hitting-and-running, you need to maximize your food usage. Whenever your HP gets too low, you hide and eat. Don't eat during combat. If you eat while you're still in combat, you're just going to be wasting food because you'll keep taking damage. For Dragon Slayer, I was unable to find a safespot. I killed her w/ an addy scimmy (obtained from The Feud quest) and steel armor. I got her to about 25% HP, retreated, banked at TzHaar, then returned to finish her off. Also, the "hiding-to-eat" method that I just mentioned isn't very good for monsters like Elvarg. Thus, while fighting Elvarg, I would "dance" with her whenever I needed to eat (I just used trout, though cakes would work too as long as you dance). Dancing's the same principle, just a little more difficult. I've done all of my questing with trout and cakes, though stews would be great to use as well (buy from Seers bartender for 20gp ea). Getting Around High-priority quests should be Grand Tree and Tree Gnome Village for spirit trees and gnome gliders. Especially charter ships are too expensive for you and you don't have the mage level or runes for teleportation. Grand Tree requires 25 agility, but if you don't want to run laps till you're suicidal you can do the Tourist Trap quest and get ~10k agility XP from that instead. Spirit trees transport you to: Khazard battlefield (close to Ardougne) Tree gnome village (close to Yanille) Forest where the GE exists in EOC (close to Varrock and Edgeville) Tree gnome stronghold Tree gnome stronghold is also where the glider is, so essentially the gliders and trees are all connected. The glider will take you to: White wolf mountain Al Kharid (close to Lumbridge) Varrock (close to east mine, dig site, Karamja (close to Shilo) Feldip (requires One Small Favour quest) So basically you'll save on Lumbridge/Home teleports by taking the glider to Al Kharid if you need to get to Lumbridge. If you complete Recruitment Drive, you can set your respawn point to Falador. I'd recommend doing this since it's a more "central" location and there's already plenty of ways to access Lumbridge (Home tele; duel rings; glider; canoes) Canoes are great for getting around F2P. The higher your WC, the more efficient they become. Even with the worst canoe you'll save time/energy taking canoes up to Edgeville from Lumbridge than running/walking the entire distance. If you're in Lumbridge (or east of Lumb, in Al Kharid, for example) you can get to Port Sarim quickly by going to Shantay pass, talking to Shantay, claiming to be an outlaw, and getting thrown in jail. Refuse to pay and you'll get sent to Port Sarim. If you want to go from Lumbridge to, say, Ardougne or Catherby really fast, you could: Start in Lumbridge Run to Shantay and get sent to Port Sarim Pay 30gp to go to Karamja (or buy a more expensive charter and go straight to Cath/Ardy) Run to Brimhaven and pay 30gp to go to Ardy, or take a cheaper charter from Karamja to Cath/Ardy You could even go to Karamja and take a cheap charter to Brimhaven and then go to Ardy from there for 30gp. Death/suicide is great for a full energy restore, particularly at low agility levels when it takes like 5 minutes or something outrageous to get all your energy back. The lower your hp/def, the quicker you can die. If you're in Lumby need to respawn in Fally, after starting The Lost Tribe, you can go into the Lumb basement w/o a light source and let the "bugs" kill you in the darkness pretty quickly. In Al Kharid, you can get 3-4 warriors attacking you at once. In Falador, you can get 3-4 guards to attack you at once. In Varrock you're stuck with single-combat guards, so it'll take a while if you've got defense and hp. The first time you make it to the "other side" of the world (Catherby, Ardy, etc.), I'd highly recommend getting 10 fishing ASAP and completing the Fishing Contest quest. This allows you to safely run beneath White Wolf Mountain to get to Cath/Tav. It's also a requirement for Recipe for Disaster. Misc. If you're doing quests, search the wikis for items before you toss them. I was about to toss "buttons" I obtained from the Digsite quest until I saw that I'd need them for Animal Magnetism. Saved me from having to pickpocket HAMs. Try to do as many quests as possible simultaneously. In F2P there's a lot of running back-and-forth across the world. Best to get as much done in one place as possible. Make a list of quests on your to-do list and then make a list of all the items required for them. Make notes of key locations where you'll need to be so next time you're in the area you can "run errands" to save time. You can sell cats to the guy in Ardougne for 100 death runes. It takes about 3 hours for a kitten to mature into a cat. Might as well have a kitten follow you around while you do stuff. Just make sure you've got food on-hand to feed it. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. If you guys have any similar tips you'd like to share, feel free to. :)

Bruno did you kill the Tanglefoot w/ 1 farming? Did it take long?

Thanks for the tip :)

Trying to finish this quest but need a group of people to help build the temple. So far, there's no established world for building the temple. The quest gives a good amount of herblore XP and stuff, so if any of you are interested in forming a group, feel free to post here or shoot me a PM: I--Am-Rak--I

I quit checking the main page after they updated it and made it awkward as hell. I trust TIF to share all the updates worthy of mentioning/discussing :D

Don't know about you guys, but I haven't ran out of run since the last run update. I was going to say the exact same thing. When I was reading the headline, I was expecting them to say that they nerfed the run-energy. Why not just remove the run-energy thing altogether? Agility's already pretty pointless except for a few minor shortcuts here and there.

*laughs defiantly*

Hey I just got to the pincers and was wondering how long it'll take before the duo story missions start showing up???

Anybody want to help me finish Shades of Mort'ton? It seems that no worlds have been established for that minigame yet :\

Apparently Jagex is being deceptive as always. No surprises there. Oh well, I've been having a BLAST in 07scape. Don't really care about Jagex drama, especially now that I can play the next 6 months for free :D Pretty much done playing EOC, minus PoPs. I just don't like the direction and focus of that game. I'd rather kill other players than kill monsters.

I'd completely disagree, I think both Blizzard and Riot far outstrip anything Jagex has done on that level. Needless to say I'm happy that there is no extra fee. I won't play EOC RS. I might stay subbed for 07. Not only because I like 07, but also because everything and everyone is starting over. I like that concept. That's the one thing I hated about it lol, I'd love to already be a maxed zerker. Ah well, 1 def it is. Surprised to hear that coming from you. I'm absolutely amazed at the number of 1 def pures in 07. They are in for a very rude awakening when the rune pures start effortlessly mopping the floors with them. It'll take a bit for the rune pures to develop, though.

If they update construction, I wouldn't be surprised if they also jack up the cost of planks and stuff. Right now magic stones are what, 1M each? Wouldn't be surprised if they released construction items that are 10-100M each since 1M is chump change now compared to when it was released.

Spells are capped at level 80, that is, all surges have the same max hit as Air Surge (768) and all level 80+ blitzes and barrages the same as Blood Blitz (786). Polypore strike is apparently treated as level 80 Ancient spell for this purpose. All other spells scale normally with level, including Smoke Blitz and Shadow Blitz which are level 74 and 76 respectively. The cap is reasonable as it balances out magic against ranged and melee, which derive strength from equipment - currently capped at 90 for melee and 80 for ranged, but for dungeoneering it's a major problem because there is level 99 equipment all around. I ask because last time I checked (I think it was back in December), ice barrage did significantly less damage than ice blitz since barrage was multi-target. Is this no longer the case, then?

That'd be funny if the quest was completely finished and ready to be released weeks ago; the only reason it was delayed was because they hadn't finished making that teaser video yet :lol:

Quy are you sure barrage's base max is the same as blitz? When was the last time you tested this?

:cry: Agreed. I want a rollercoaster in my house. And a McDonald's too. Just like Richie Rich.

Are there any websites/fansites out there that allow you to enter your stats and quests completed and then it'll filter out which quests you can currently do? Just like your quest journal does for you in EOC, except I'm trying to do it for '07.

After completing The Lost Tribe, you can mine iron and silver in the Dorgeshuun mine and a local goblin will buy all the ores you mine so you don't have to bank (though it's pretty close to bank if you want to). He buys iron at about 14ea and silver at 60ea.

People who tell me "gf" instantly get a free spot on my ignore list :lol:

I like 07 but not enough to pay extra. Especially if everyone else quits when they have to pay extra.

Seems wiser to offer a "base" EOC membership or a base 07 membership. Then you can pay an additional fee to use the other one. In my case, I could play 07 for cheaper since I'm not interested in EOC

Well if I quit 07 I won't he going back to EOC unless there's some game-changing updates. I've done everything there is to do in EOC pretty much. It's boring and I dislike how the game is focused on PvM and skilling is done just for arbitrary levels. In 07 (right now, at least), the game is focused on PvP and skilling is actually profitable and the skillers aren't 90% bots (yet).
