It's giving out free xp and quite high xp at that considering the effort/time taken. You hardly expect them to make it easy do you?

Personally I entirely disagree with your cases on this one. Sure you *could* try and wedge in xp:hr data all over the place but xp:hr is quite a subjective thing that can vary greatly depending on if you like high apm or afk or how you are with mousekeys. Besides it's not like there is extensive data on xp:hr for every last method in-game. As for whats F2P and P2P it's all pretty well classified to me, I mean all the tables ARE colour coded, some of the boosts that are members only items are lacking a mention of members only, but meh they are obvious ones withint a click or 2 (eg click thru to summoning guide). Only thing I kinda agree on is the locations in fishing could use some work. Would definitely be beneficially to have a run down of all the fishing locations in a table with hidden images. As for the monster database there is a very simple reason it does not have drop rates: 1) There is no such thing as an accurate drop rate. Some people have some very nice estimations of drop rates based on hordes of data, but even then they can be highly misleading subject to your luck. Eg people read something is 1 in 100 then rant they did not get the drop in 100 kills. You could use arbitrary categories for it like rs wiki does, but they are hugely inaccurate as where does one draw the line between these categories? 2)It'd make the pages look bloody messy imo. I don't want scroll through like 5 or 6 different drop tables that take up tones of screen space because they have to be organised in a way where a drop rate can be put in without seeming cluttered. I like that it's all on 1 screen and I can quickly find a drop thanks to the groupings provided. As for the thing about tip.it being comprehensive rather than noob, to me it IS comprehensive in that it gives you all the basic facts and assumes a certain level of knowledge rather than spoon feeding you "this is members" above every single item. Tip.it has always (to my eyes, and much like many of the other big fansites) been more about giving you the facts not about blinding you with masses of data and hugely in-depth strategies and numerical data, that field is left to specialist guides on more niche sites and forums. Just my two cents.

The only trouble is the high levels required for the uber money making generally include 95 prayer for turmoil, 90-something herby for overloads and 90-something summoning for uni/steel titan/yak. So you kinda need to spend the money to get there before you can use the money makers that make the big bucks.

My lamps go on Summ, Herb and Prayer depending on what levels I need/want to get; because all 3 are such expensive skills to train. Others like construction I find are no where near the same cost so I'm happy to train them, but I would think for time and cost factors Construction, Farming and Agility would be my top choices once the first 3 are maxed.

I'm sure I read on rsof that the darts only work on current bosses. Well it'd be pretty impossible for them to work on anything that is not current, given that things that are not current do not exist in game.

I watch them with my eyes. [/troll]

But have you left it toggled the other way for a few hours and seeing if you get the messages?

Doesn't green mean that Doomsayer is turned on for that warning ergo the warning/message is turned off. Tried toggling it the other way?

From what I've heard and seen you cannot. At any given time you seem to only ever be able to have 1 task for a given skill. Only doubling up that seems to happen is that you can have kill x assigned slayer monsters alongside kill x lvl y monsters but thats because 1 is a slayer task and the other is a combat task, even though they do overlap a bit.

Nit-picky: I wouldn't say spears were deemed best until we 'discovered' berserker ring. It is more of a case spears WERE best, then Jagex released the ring upgrades causing 2h and baxe to become better.

I think my favourite part of this update was Sir Amik's squire being Paul Cerlyn. Ceramic, porcelain. 'nuff said.

Says it right in the news post http://services.runescape.com/m=news/sizzling-summer--choose-your-fate--promissory-note Also I'm 85% sure it also said the expiry date in the Fate cards interface like at the bottom.

I like how the weekly 'awesome' 'exclusive' teaser pictures we get to see now are all images from the BTS article and/or from the videos we see 1-2 weeks before the teasers and content arrive... [/sarcasm] Anyway Doric's does look schweet now, wonder if we can use the staircase and where it goes? A noob mine? Another part of dwarf mine?

^That is what I meant by 'start a celebration'

I'm going to hazard a guess at no. Let's say titans up your xp:hr by about 4% due to faster kills. So avatar would be 2% more xp in that form. But then consider you get 3% xp if someone else on ur world has ava out so titan + 3% from being on ava world would result in 7% more xp:hr vs 6% more. Not sure of exact numbers but I recall reading somewhere (sure somebody will yell at me if I'm wrong) Titans upped your dps by like 10% and 10% more dps should roughly translate to 10% more xp:hr. So you'd end up with 10% more for just titan 13% more for titan and ava world 6% for just ava. Even if my numbers are off I'm fairly certain Titan should result in >3% more xp:hr which means titan + ava world > ava with you.

It may have been removed in EoC due to lower rune costs or could be a bug from staff alterations, eg where they made them all 2h the altar is still looking for the originals. If in doubt send a bug report, after all that is what a beta test is for.

Botany Bay did not remotely fail. It is coupled with botwatch which they are rolling out slowly and progressively targeting different bots 1 by 1 to ensure no false positives are given. Certain areas like grotworms are entirely empty now, if you have a little patience they will continue expanding botwatch to slowly take out more bots.

Doh! Well spotted. Fixed it in my original post.

Two minor issues with the guide you put up. 1) It doesn't actually tell you where Father Joakim can be found anywhere in the guide. (South of Lumbridge graveyard and beside Burthorpe church) Crew edit: This was added to the guide at some point. 2) It doesn't mentioned that you MUST start a celebration by talking to him before the items to be collected will appear. Lack of mentioning this plus wording of the guide kinda implies you could just go collect all 5 before going to the event. Also side note - I see you updated cooking gauntlets to show Caleb is in varrock not cathurby but the Family Crest quest guide is still outdated. Not sure if it just hasn't been made live yet or if this was an oversight. Crew edit: This has since been done, thanks.

I am not aware of such a calculator anywhere, but as pointed out above it is very simple maths to do yourself. Arrows are made in 15s. 15 arrows breaks down to: 15 arrow heads 15 feathers 15 arrow shafts. These break down to: 15 feathers 1 log 1 metal bar In your case you are doing mithril so it further breaks to: 15 feathers 1 log 1 mithril ore 4 coal 1,000,000/15 = 66,667 (rounded up) Therefore you need: 1,000,000 Feathers 66,667 logs 66,667 mithril ore 266,668 coal

Paypal is because it allows extra security in that you don't have to type a butt load of details in every time plus paypal allows people to pay in a whole myriad of ways other than just using their card, plus paypal offers a claim system for refunds etc. Also without paypal it's a pita to get profits out of the ebay system cause you have to do a bunch of faff with bank transfers etc. Plus most people on ebay use paypal and will flat out ignore sales that don't take it. Plus most items for sale on ebay only take paypal payments. Basically trying to ebay without paypal is kinda pointless, the two are pretty much synonymous, especially since they are both owned by the same people so are seamlessly integrated.

I still reckon teleness has something to do with it more than anything. P2P wants to be 'cool' and show off 'rare' items on F2P = Goes to stand somewhere a lot of people are likely to pass by. That place in F2P would be Varrock since it is the most central, has the most relevance for what passes for high level in most F2p skills and has a convenient nexus point of a teleport spot that is on the path ways to many major f2per locations (eg edge yews, ess mining via aubury, ge, varrock ivy, smithing etc.) So they stand there to look 'cool' which adds some people mass. So then some foot traffic stops to admire their 'cool' 'rare' items adding to the mass. Then some of the p2pers retired friends and such come by to chat and maybe alch if they want to be doing something productive whilst lurking in f2p. Then seeing a crowd beggars and noobs and e-daters and all the sort join the area assuming it is a great place to earn a buck and get a gf. Add in lodestones. There's now cheaper ways to get around reasonably quickly than teleporting via magic. There's now teleports than land you a lot nearer to many useful things eg Edge lodestone is gr8 for yews and banking and ge. There's less foot traffic to show off to so the P2Pers leave. With no-one to be in awe of/no friends to chat to the 'amg thts so cool' and p2per friends leave. With no major amount of people around the beggars and e-daters and such have no reason to loiter there. Long story short add lodestones = removal of teleport foot traffic = destruction of a natural nexus for gathering in the f2p world.

Anybody got tips of rounding these up reasonably quickly? Got 9/20 thus far and they are the only thing standing between me and 100% Dom Tower completion (well unless you count the one for using helping horn and all the mines, but seeing as the mines are unlocked via journal pages anyway...)
