Tips for Shattered Heart?
Not true. All the rocks will force their way into you inventory by overriding an object if needs by; besides ideally you take the satchel bag thing with you that way they automatically go in there. Anyway what I do, since I like to do it cheapy: Agility : Best course Crafting : Sapphire braces (usually a small profit) Herblore : Cleaning Guams Fletching : Maple Long (u) (sometimes a small profit) Firemaking : Burn willows Woodcutting : Ivy Mining : LRC or p ess Smithing : Iron knives (usually just about breaks even or profits) Runecrafting : usually do airs on foot from cook guild Cooking : Tuna Fishing : Monkfish Farming : Strawberries Construction : Oak larders Hunter : Falconry or Charm Sprites (fast catch rate means more rock opportunities) Thief : Master farmers

20-Mar-2012 - Bakriminel Bolts
If they hold value they could be a nice small daily routine even without wilderness. Thinking Drakan medallion for tht tree, then lodestone/glory into edge for soulwars then short dart over the fiary ring to reach rotm site for the third one. For a little bit of moneys and some reasonable xp; kinda like potion flasks.

ZMI
It is worth the trouble, no doubt about it. Between a few cheap shops (canafis clothes, gnome clothes, range guild etc) and poh bookcase + costumes it takes all of 5 minutes maximum to fill bank even with several hundred spaces. Full bank = massive time savings on ZMI banking in the long run. Without full bank you either have to: Press bank invent then withdraw 4 pouches and banking runes as well as refilling ess. Or individually bank-all 10+ separate stacks of runes. Talking at least 0.5 seconds per extra action I'd say so you add 2.5 - 5 seconds to your bank run. That's 1 minute lost in 12 runs. 5 minutes lost in 60 runs. At 53 ess per run (invent lest 5 for 4 pouches + banking runes then +3+6+9+12) and he has 10k ess that's 189 runs. So doing yourself out of a good 15 minutes on banking alone. And tbh I'd say mousekeys aside (which I don;t think u can work nice for zmi anyway) 0.5 seconds per extra bank action is probably on the fast side clicking wise. I'd probably take 1 second as a more average joe time which would double up time loses to 1 minute in 6 runs. 5 mins in 30. So a good 30min lose on the 189 runs.

20-Mar-2012 - Bakriminel Bolts
I could see these bolts perhaps having a niche use in PvM stuff for the likes of one off challenges eg fight caves or fight kiln or perhaps as a default questing ammo since quest bosses often do weird things with various specials and its hard to predict what bolts to take. Is their ranged strength higher than all previous bolts? I'm too lazy to look it up but I feel like it might be.

Underground Pass
Sidenote step 20 in the last sentence it should just be kill Kalrag not kill the Kalrag since Kalrag is just its name making it a proper noun defining a unique entity (eg London, New York) opposed to Kalrag being some sort of species which would make it a common noun defining some sort of collective of similar (eg minotaur, elf)

Member Loyalty Programme (not rewards!) Rating
You said what's the problem? I said there isn't one. I did not say there isn't a neutral option as CLEARLY indicated by the fact the rest of my post referenced it.

Neutral is included now, what's the problem? There isn't one. I was just commenting on your smart ass remark about how people won't vote neutral. Seeing as you purposefully choose to label the usual 'no opinion' option as 'neutral' full well knowing that the people asking for a neutral option meant they were in the grey area between good and bad opinion wise.
-

Of course they won't vote neutral when you intentionally put neutral outside the good to bad scale so rather than neutral it becomes "no opinion" True neutral votes will land around 5 and 6 on your scale eg right between good and bad in the place where opinion is neutral (neither good nor bad)

If you can't see how neutrality is a valid opinion you need to go to school. Personally my opinion is entirely neutral. It has good merits in the idea of rewarding loyalty and some decent rewards. It also has bad points in the point earning rate vs costs. It's still an opinion that I could elaborate on further if I desired but it is most definitely neutral. The negative aspects mean I do not view it as 'good' while the positives ensure it do not view it as 'bad' either.

But that is awfully exclusionary. Why are we only allowed to vote an opinion if we are in one of the extreme camps of good or bad? Excluding anyone in the middle ground from having an effective vote entirely nullifies the purpose of any results as it means the existing options are skewed by people being forced to vote for one they don't rightly want too and the numbers being entirely skewed as the usual majority of middle ground views have been excluded. A neutral opinion is not the same as having no opinion.

Neutral IS a valid opinion. It means you do not find anything particularly wrong but equally don;t find anything particularly worthy of merit.

Loyaltie points not get?
Incorrect. Loyalty points are added monthly based on when you joined the scheme. If you didn't sign up til the 3rd of Ocotber, your points date will be the 3rd each month. Most only have the 28th as a date because we pre-signed up when they first opened it and thus when the scheme went live on the 28th it set all of our reward dates.

28-Feb-2012 - Squeal of Fortune
MMORPGs happened :razz: More like basic human nature happened. The fundamental driving force of our consumerist society is the fact we like to look good* to others while also displaying some personality. It's why we decorate our homes, it's why most families will have 'good' plates and 'good' cutlery stashed somewhere that only comes out when guests arrive. It's why we spend millions a year on cosmetics to make our skin and hair look good. It's why we spend millions on clothes to make ourselves look good. It's why we go to gyms and fund the fad diet industry to get good bodies. *Good being highly subjective here as it depends on lifestyle choices etc. Eg what looks good to a materialist and a naturalist aren't the same

Loyalty Refund?
Yeah refunds are NOT for discounted items. They are for items that have had their price PERMANENTLY reduced, the only ones this happened to is T2+ auras that required upgrading eg Greater Reverence and Master Reverence. They refunds are being applied manually, so it'll just turn up some point if you are due one.

Auras
Jack of Trades is obvious win. Reverance is good long term for prayer. Vampyrism is good until you get soul split etc. then its a bit meh. I hear good things about greenfingers if your a farmer.

Total RS GP in the game.
1) Billions of billions of billions 2) Sod all really. Pre-coinshare people just lootshared and then sold items so not a huge impact on gp flow really. 3) Lots.

16 - Mar - 2012 - Bonus XP Weekend
I knew something like this had to be out there :P Jagex always seam to miss something when it comes to bxpw :) wonder if they can fix this or let it slip, probably letting it slip due to the small amount off ppl who actually had the opportunity to abuse this. Apparently it was there last time as well so I would think Jagex knows about it already. Guess they don't have the time to fix it or don't care to? It probably affects so few players that they might as well leave it in. You'd have to time your membership to expire on it which is unreliable (Sometimes they were 3-6 September, sometimes around 9-11 September; same with March). I don't think that fixing this is a priority unless they introduce some way to instantly cancel membership (pay by hour, or something. idk) Yeah considering the precise date is not announced until the actual month it is happening now and the minimum membership is 30 days its not feasible in the slightest to rig your membership to end at the right time. Just a matter of luck.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet all those islands reached via Port Phasmytas will be included for this task set. After all there are a few tasks possible there and what other set could they go in?

Is Tier 4 the last batch of Auras?
Currently yes. In terms of future updates? We don't know; one could assume it might be the final tier of any future auras seeing as it has used up all the graphical pips around the auras that signify tier and equally anything more than 10% is getting a bit too powerful for something which in Jagex's own words (when the scheme first came) is meant to offer a nice bonus but not become a necessity for any game content.

16 - Mar - 2012 - Bonus XP Weekend
1m+ in 8 hours would be easy. 5 mage trees, 6 palm trees, 1 calquat, 2 spirit healthed at start of weekend = 487k xp With that and livid farm and maybe even a bush run since they have nice health checks it's not hard at all. Personally so far I did a farm run for 487k xp (83>85) Turned in my few curved bones (12k con xp) And have now been camped at pp when I can get on. Done a little under 2 hours so far, but done like 700k thief xp and am about half way to 94 now.

Editorial Panel Discussion
Tbh this is why I stopped caring for the tip.it times, the articles have just lost their diversity and become well written versions of the typical RSOF drivel about rs is dying or how some random update has destroyed the game for everybody for ever. I mean sure some articles are gonna be negative, but it just seems to have become the norm and often the logic and reason behind the articles is exclusionary, heavily bias or just plain odd in order to justify it and often seem to not even consider the other side of things. Thankfully the fiction pieces are still passable though as a literature student and a writer myself I generally don't read them because I find them too amateurish and thus jsut end up wanting to give an essay of constructive criticisms opposed to enjoying the piece.

99 herblore for cheap?
81>90 you want to make extremes, regardless of cost. Say (for simplicites sake) each extreme costs 1m per 1k pots. The cheapest training method is 500k per 1m xp. Then say 81>90 is 5m xp Do 1k of each extreme = 5m Do 5k of the cheap method = 2.5m BUT Extremes are untradable. Do the cheap method and you do have the level to make overloads but need to spend a lot more money to actually make any overloads. Do the extremes and you have the level and the majority of the supplies for overload making with torstols being the only remaining cost. So say you wanted 1k overloads and 1k torstols cost a further 1m Extremes method: You've done 1k each of the 5 extreme pots for 5m, pay 1m more for 1k torstols. That's 1k overloads for 6m. Cheap xp method: You've spent 2.5m. You now have to spend 5m to make the 1k of each extreme pot and 1m on torstols. That's 1k of overloads for a total cost of 9.5m Of course I am using vastly simplified numbers for the sake of a clear example, but the principle applies when you do the real thing. In the 81>90(or 99) range doing extremes results in lower cost long term than opting for cheap xp as it produces the xp AND something useful. Opposed to producing ONLY xp and then having to invest again anyway to get the actual overloads.
