Moving this over to Help & Advice where it is better suited. :) F2P has indeed changed a lot. A few of the quests have been reworked or even replaced with new ones (RIP, Romeo & Juliet, no pun intended). Fishing lobsters is really rather mediocre but I suppose it gets the job done if you want to earn some fishing and cooking xp and hang out. More or less the same goes for woodcutting. Mining iron, fletching headlessarrows, or telegrabbing zamorak wines in the captured temple can make decent cash, or killing cockroach soldiers in the dungeon underneath Edgeville if you want to do something combat related. Rune armor is still the best melee armor for F2P in the affordable range. There is corrupt dragon - which degrades to dust after 30 minutes - and the gud raider chainbody, which does not degrade, has a strength bonus and the same stats as rune plate, and requires 55 defense. It costs some number of millions street price though. For Ranged, green and blue d'hide are both F2P now, green d'hide at 40 defense, blue at 50. On the magic side batwing is the best for your current level, and then mystic when you level up to 50. To learn combat I would highly suggest you visit the Combat Academy by Lumbridge lodestone and work through that tutorial. Or you could continue playing on Legacy, which emulates the old style of combat, which I think you are on now from your picture. In general EoC performs much better for most combat, once you learn how to use it.

If they don't state anything about EoC or Legacy then it shouldn't change your settings when you world hop. The flags indicate which country the servers are in - often a server in your country or in the UK will have less latency/better ping.

Finally, the ranged and magic defenders to accompany last week's release are here, filling out your top-end arsenal with awesome and versatile off-hands. Remember – find out about everything that's coming up this Christmas by clicking the snowman icon on the Ribbon or Minimap bezel – including the Advent Calendar and Winter Weekends. Master Quest Cape The shoulder-warmer of choice for the most avid of lore fiends, the master quest cape is obtained from Curator Haig Halen at Varrock Museum by completing all story-focused content in game. Full details are available in the Hero interface under the Completionist tab, but generally speaking, wearing the cape requires that you: Complete all quests, mini-quests and unabridged sagas.Unlock all additional post-quest rewards.Complete story-rich content such as Court Cases and Player-Owned Ports voyages.Complete content derived from – or an expansion of – quest content, such as Temple Trekking.Obtain all titles which demonstrate a story accomplishment, such as Vyrelord or Annihilator.Obtain items significant to the storyline, such as the gilded cabbage or crest of Seren.Obtain lore journals.It's a challenge to relish for those of you who can't get enough RuneScape story.

It will say "Legacy Only" or "EoC only" on those worlds in the world description of that row, in between the number of players and the type (free/members). For example: W33 is "Legacy only - Player Killing." It should in fact ask to confirm that you want to go to a Legacy- or EoC-only world before hopping to one of those worlds due to a recent update.

Did you accidentally turn on Legacy? If you press Esc, Game Settings > Gameplay Settings and untick the two boxes 'Legacy Combat Mode' and 'Legacy Interface Mode' you can get it back to EoC. My guess is that you may have accidentally gone into a legacy-only world which forced the change. Let me know if you need any more help :).

There is HYT (join the fc 'sc') as a friends chat, if you want to check that out. You can add me if you like as well :).

Got back in one piece, which is always nice.

I need a hair cut too - it hasn't been quite that long but it's still getting to be uncomfortable for me. I'm with family and attending a conference, but I think sometime after I get back I'll get one.

I'd abandon ship on that account and start a fresh, completely clean one instead, just to be safe. Also moving to Help & Advice as this is RS-related :).

22,118. Oops. Sorry Albel :(.

As far as I know people had to create a new profile. That's why everyone's join date falls on or after a certain summer - I forget which year exactly it falls on though.

You need to use up some earned keys first (play Treasure Hunter a few times) as you can have a maximum of 10 earned keys at once, excluding ones from quests which can count over that figure. Then you can click on the key tokens to consume and add to your earned keys. As for future challenges, you can usually get a pretty decent hint if you go to Adventures (F3 on Windows), click the Challenges tab, and then click on the daily challenge on the left-hand side that you want more information/help with. Of course if you're still stuck feel free to ask for help!

So I take it you are running the RuneScape client? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling/updating it? At some point they changed version.

Guess this is RIP bat wand, Merry Christmas to you too Jagex :P.
