Curiosity

According to the RS Wiki, only the Atrocious Rogue Gloves cannot be taken out of the crucible. However, it does not state whether or not the other rogue gloves (for example, loathsome rogue gloves) can be used outside the crucible. So I was hoping if I can use the gloves inferior to Atrocious Rogue gloves outside of the Crucible. Question: Can you use the loathsome (and lower) rogue gloves outside of the crucible?

Given that Jadinkos only appear when their preferred setup is accomplished, I was wondering if it had to be literally taken like that. I want to catch Diseased and Cannibal Jadinkos, but they have different requirements. http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=herblore_habitat.htm#hunter Cannibal: No Tree, Kalferberry Bush, Green Flower, Tall Grass Diseased: Banana Tree, no bush, no flower, Boneyard From Diseased to Cannibal, all I have to do is turn Boneyard into Tall Grass and add stuff. If I want to go back to Diseased, I can turn the Tall Grass into a Boneyard... but do I have to change everything else too? Do I have to remove the Banana tree and the bush/flower, everything? Can I just meet the requirements and the extraneous items will be ignored? ----- Also, are the herb growing times the same with other herbs? Do I really have to wait super long for the growth and all or does this place have accelerated farming?

So here's the story: Junior year of high school, the most dreaded and crucial year as barked by many people, has dawned upon my life. I stopped playing Runescape to heavily focus on my studies, and decided to play during the summer. Now it has become summer and when I logged on, I was taken aback. My account has been taken out for a joyride, if one may, and left in shambles. Before school: 2 Whips, Full Guthan, Ahrims, 20m Cash, 30k of each rune, Inferno Adze set, etc. The good stuff that a typical skiller would have. After school: 2 Korasi Swords, Full Void Melee/Range (but no gloves or deflector), Sacred Clay Platebody+Platelegs, 20k. That's it, nothing more at that point. So basically, Mr. Hacker had a joyride with my account. I'm not too worried about losing everything, because I've made many mistakes in the past and have recovered from it. But the only thing that bothers me is this: What items did I lose permanently? I know I got rid of my blurite sword in the past, sadly I didn't know I'd never be able to obtain it again. So now I want to know what items have I lost forever? Secondly, I'd like to know how I can successfully and rapidly recover. Summer time is the playing time, so I have ample amounts of time to start recovery. With my stats, and my current $500k bank, I'd like to know what I can do for the best recovery. Stats: 99 Attack 99 Strength 95 Defense 99 Constitution 76 Prayer 87 Range 96 Magic 80 Summoning 99 Fishing 99 Cooking 99 Firemaking 99 Woodcutting 85 Mining 77 Smithing 78 Crafting 99 Fletching 73 Herblore 75 Agility 91 Thieving 87 Slayer 78 Farming 73 Runecrafting 82 Hunter 75 Construction 49 Dungeoneering Thirdly, what's the new Tip.it Chat? I was wondering around the magical world of Runescape and I encountered a highly elusive Kingly Impling. I wanted to alert the Tip.it community but alas I forgot the clan chat name. So I just let it escape and went about my business.

Stop by the RSOF monster section. Some players actually post their God Wars (and other bosses) drop tables, so you can check the amount of (desired item) they get from the total kills. Hope that helps

The Stats: 99 Attack 99 Strength 94 Def 99 Constitution 87 Range 75 Prayer 95 Magic 79 Summoning 75 Construction 73 Runecrafting 44 Dungeoneering 75 Agility 72 Herblore 91 Thieving 78 Crafting 99 Fletching 86 Slayer 82 Hunter 85 Mining 77 Smithing 99 Fishing 99 Cooking 99 Firemaking 99 Woodcutting 78 Farming If the bank was absolutely empty, as in: no quest items what-so-ever, no achievement diary items, no runes, no weapons, absolutely NOTHING. Would recovering this account be worth it? Current status: Pretty much what I said above.

1) Try to craft them into amulets and sell them to the Rogue Jewel or the G.E. 2) Smith into Gold helms or bowls for smithing exp.

Weapons: 1) Is the Armadyl Godsword the best godsword for Pking? I've used Bandos, and it was decent. I'm currently using Armadyl, and it hasn't been yielding the best results (except when I koed my target in Full Statius with 670). Honestly, the specials FAIL hard, legendarily epically supernova-like catastrophic FAIL. However, its special seems to be the most beneficial for pking. 2) Is the Bandos Godsword the best godsword for Pking? The special seems useful, although I question its accuracy. **3) Is the Saradomin Godsword the best godsword for Pking? I hear the special is the most accurate, and I'm leaning toward this sword. Its special seems useful for saving my skin during tight situations (like using spec + eating simultaneously for extreme healing). However, it doesn't seem like its pking material, as pking values offense most, right? ** Is the Saradomin Godsword a good weapon choice for Slayer? Honestly, with the power slaying methods and Guthans available, I'm doubting this. At 40m+ investment, I'm a bit dubious. However, this allows Guthans to be replaced with "better" armor and such. It might save on food costs, but what if I rely on cheap food like monkfish? Also, with the EEE and Guthans, I'm doubting the sword's greatness. Also, the healing summonings kind of defeat its healing prowess.. so is it really useful today? Is the Saradomin Godsword a good weapon for monster hunting in general? Not just boss hunting, but like camping at the living rock caverns or some other valuable monster, like the cyclopssus (given a massive lode of tokens). Food On nom nom... Anyways. What is the best food in the game? I'm thinking the best might be Rocktails, as they're one bite healers and they heal the most, plus they do give a boost in case you eat at full health. Definitely boss food material. However, I'm hearing that pineapple pizzas are good substitutes, as they might be lighter and heal almost as much. However, I'm also hearing that monkfish are great foods for slayer because they are cheap and they heal a decent amount. However, I'm also hearing that sharks are great also, since they're very bountiful in the Runescape World (and probably the most used, excluding the rocktails). However, I'm hearing that karambwans are useful because they heal near sharks, and they don't delay the attack. However, I'm hearing that Saradomin Brews are good enough for food, given there are stat restore/super stat restore potions. However, I'm hearing that the EEE is great for saving food. Honestly, what foods should I keep (only keeping 3, to conserve bank space, I'm a bank space miser and I hate keeping items I don't use or will not use for a while, unless they're useful or skill related)? Reasons too please... for example: 1) Rocktails - Boss Foods, heals the most 2) Pineapple Pizza - 2 bites, heals 22 decent price 3) Monkfish - really cheap, decent food or... 1) Rocktails - only use this as food 2) Saradomin Brews - not a food, but use for healing 3) EEE - sword special Or should I stick with the weapons and summons? Saradomin Godsword? EEE + Whip/etc? Guthans? Unicorns or Titans or Bunyips? Is Guthans even worth it with Saradomin Godsword or in general?

I hope this doesn't count as a double post, but: It seems people are arguing that the Blessed Spirit Shield is better than the Dragonfire shield. However, is a +20 difference (which the DFS) has really that insignificant so that the BSS is considered better? I mean the super anti fire will render it useless against dragons, but is the defense difference really insignificant?

I miss the conversations on the clan chat, and I know the old one was Forsakenmage's. However, the last time I went on the name was "Mudkipz" instead of "Tip.it," and no one was in it, except me. What happened to the tip.it clan chat? Is there none anymore or what is the new clan chat?

What items are worth collecting for money? I know prices change but honestly, some are stable/ definite to sell (like limpwurt roots). These can come from easy to kill monsters or just collecting. I know a few are...: Herb farming (collecting herbs from farming or monsters) Red Spider eggs Blue Dragon scale Limpwurt Roots Mort Myre Fungi If possible, please make a difference between nonmembers and members, since I have a nonmember account seeking membership (which might not come, but knowledge would be helpful in due time). Also the cash/hour would be nice, I remain pretty alert when I collect items.

I'd get the fire cape first, get it over with. Then get ice skyrs, it might be worth it.

What shields are worth to keep or get? Melee: 1) For extremely risky, (like Corporeal Beast, or anywhere death + losing items is likely), low risk situations, would it be better to use Rune Kiteshields or Granite shields? Would the Dragon square shield be worth as the ultimate decision of the three? *Only keeping one kind, hate to keep items I won't be using often 2) For nonmembers, is the Rune Berserker shield worth obtaining? Or should I stick with Rune Kiteshield? 3) For melee combat training, including slayer, should I use defenders rather than shields? 4) Is the crystal shield worth getting? Why? 5) Are the spirit shields worth getting? Which ones? Why? 6) Is the DFS worth getting? Why? Also, should anti dragon shield copies be kept? Should I be "cheap" and use the ad shield + try my luck at trying to obtain draconic visage drop? 7) Is the 3rd Age kiteshield worth getting? 8) Bonus wise (ignoring abilities, because I couldn't care less), are the dungeoneering shields worth obtaining? Why? 9) Please list the best shields from lowest to highest (in your opinion of usefulness, bonus, reliability, etc.), reasons why would be nice. Magic 1) For nonmembers, is the tome of frost worth obtaining? 2) Is the Mage's Book worth obtaining? Or should I stick with the God books/Tome of Frost? 3) Is the Arcane Spirit shield worth obtaining? Range 1) Should I only use the God books for their bonuses and no negative range? 2) Should I use a shield with them? For bosses perhaps? 3) Should I stick with 2h bows instead? Miscellaneous 1) What other shields are definitely worth getting? 2) What other shields are worth getting, but not totally worth it? 3) What other shields should be totally ignored? Besides the incredibly inferior/weak ones.

1) What is it? 2) Is it better than regular slaying? 3) Slayer is renown to be very profitable, but is power slaying more/less profitable than regular slaying? 4) If you power slay, do you do clue scrolls after the task or during the task? 5) Does it have high costs? As when it comes to power training, it usually applies to maximum efficiency that comes proportionally with cost. 6) Pros/Cons of Power slaying? 7) What stats would be best to power slay?
