ConsoleScape
The could easily strap on a console friendly ui. Use stick/pad/triggers to scroll through "hot zones" which would be anything with a useful click option. Then when on a hotzone in the corner where we get hover info it'd show A/Square B/Triangle X Y/Circle and give the options Then all you need is to strap on an option menu where you can setup quick profiles that ignore certain options eg make a fighting one that only offers "attack" Then some kinda quick hotswap system like on the d-pad to pick various menu areas (eg jump to invetory, prayer, game screen) And could also throw in some easy basics like 1 trigger eats from invent, 1 trigger toggles quick prayer, then let bumpers be assigned to specific stuff eg 1 bumper on the quick tele another on sip for overloads etc. It'd be a different play experience in terms of input, but it wouldn't take anything major to make a game pad friendly ui for ps and xbox; especially since they have the same basic buttons; a lot of this ui is drawn from point and click adventure games that have very nice console releases. Just fed in a few button assigning ideas to compensate the need for speed on an mmo, compared to a point n clikc where u can scroll slowly between everything with no problem

They can still die if they have food, they are a bit slow to eat compared to a player; and therefore can be koed before eatting slightly easier than a player would be. I've had a couple die to snakes with food due to getting piled.

Because they have to have a weakness... If they follwoed standard rules: Mage is weak to range strong to melee Melee is weak to mage strong to range So mage/melee would have to be strong agaisnt melee and range but weak to mage and range. It's nonsensical for a mage armour to be weak to mage attacks; which leaves weak to range attacks. While being strong in damage against rangers and meleers as standard armour rules dictate. It's hardly unprecedented either standard mage armour (mostly) gets pwned by melee attacks if they get in range despite mage beating melee. Essentially they are offensive items opposed to defensive. Same way defenders are offensive "shields" or Bandos and Void is an offensive armour with limited defensive stats.

The set is defined by its attack power, same as all other armours. Like I said they HAVE to have a weakness, they can't just have good stats in all 3 classes; they gotta be weak to the class they don't include.

Temple Trekking and Burgh de Rott Ramble
Hi Thank you for showing me your setup. However, I would like to know whether or not I have to share the food I'm carrying with my companion or can I stock them with food and then go to a bank in order to restock for myself before I beging the trek ? You can stock them, but remember food is lost after the trek (can't retrieve it and next trek it isn't there anymore). - I've only had my friend koed 3 times, all were in hard route where all snakes suddenly decide to focus my friends: in such a case food won't help anyways. BS Food persists between treks. If you give them 28 food via the trade interface and they don;t eat the next person will have 0 free spaces and so on until they do eat. It's true you can't get it back, but it stays there indefinitely; only time I lost it between treks was a lag out which made it all vanish.

I fail to see saradomin mages point mostly. All three hybrid sets are supposed to be good at two points but bad at the third to balance it out, and this very mechanic means they can't be compared to other normal armours. eg normal range armour does have some melee def, but trickster doesn't because it has mage attack power and thus HAS to be weak to melee to make it work as a hybrid set. Trickster is range and mage so it is therefore intentionally bad at melee Battle mage same applies but good melee mage bad range Vanguard same again but good range melee bad mage. Though I do admit vanguards range def is oddly low. You can't expect powerful hybrid armour to not have a down side towards the combat stat it ignores; otherwise it would just be tribrid armour. As a set battle mage is definitely the most useful due to the lower volume of rangers about generally; however you could easily mix two sets up to be a pretty decent tribrid, at the lose of the set boost effect. Eg battle mage top and trickster legs would give you reasonable def to all 3 classes and remove all negative attack bonuses and then add in other pieces and weapons etc and you can easily keep it balanced yet powerful.

Future Update Discussions
Lore says Darkmeyer is the northern part of the city and meiryditch the southern. Plus Drakan's castle is in that northern area and he is like "king" of the city and lives in Darkmeyer; though a lot of people expect the city will also expand east and it'll be more darkmeyer or a further slum-area, perhaps where the icyene are or the original city of Hallowvale; since the ramshackle nature of Meiyerditch and lack of any major ruins of a grand city suggests it was not part of Hallowvale itself.

Future Update Discussions
Not really. It's been in the lore for ages Darkmeyer = vampyre city Meiyerditch = the slum-like area on the edge of Darkmeyer where they farm humans for blood tithes. Meiyerditch is just a borough of the city as a whole; like how in real-life where I am in uni at Nottingham you have areas like Lenton, West Bridgford, Clifton that are self-named yet still a part of the city of Nottingham; or how Manhattan, Brooklyn are part of New York City.

Still trying to get sunrise panorama done, nearly had it this morn but then clouds kicked in too thickly and I lost any chance of a good shot.

Finding Uncut Gems
Win for reading the thread. He said he is currently mining gem rocks and getting rubbish ones so wants OTHER methods. On-topic: Lock safes in Rogue's Den are the best consistent source for standard gem stones in my experience; even when you include gem rocks as gem rocks give opal, jade & topaz far more often.

Your medium of choice does not prevent you from using correct grammar, spelling or capitalization - it simply makes it more difficult on some occasions. Unless your phone doesn't have a shift key for typing or something, but I find it virtually impossible that a phone that one could surf the internet and type with does not have a simple shift key for typing. Thus, I consider it laziness. Spelling is the one I'll give the most leniency, because I doubt your phone has a built in spell-checker. Or your internet browser for that matter. There comes a point on the internet that you realize you will have to accept certain errors. Personally, as long as someone uses uses punctuation* and doesn't try to abbreviate words I'm happy. *as in first letter of a sentence capitalized and a period at the end. And the uses of paragraphs if they're typing enough text. In addition all 5 major smart phone operating systems, and most standard phone systems, modern dictionary systems actually auto-correct i on its own to I; so it's actually harder/more effort to capitalise I's correctly on a computer than on a phone.

Familiarisation
Also "obelisk chat" (i think that's the name) is a friends chat channel who monitor as many worlds as possible for active obelisks; similar to the star hunting people who locate them all or the evil tree one or the world60pengs

I think the grammar Nazi thing that bugs me most is dumb Americans (and some UK folks, though they seem to do it less) who get all OMG spell things right and correct you on words that are different between American and English Eg When they try and tell you to spell colour correctly as its color. It's like GTFO I'm British; colour is correct.

I'm just thankful most of the morons who used buy and sell wrong have vanished. I loathed the days of trading where people shouting "sell x" meant they wanted YOU to sell it and thus were BUYING x and conversly shouted "buy x" when they wanted YOU to buy it and were thus SELLING Oh and the "Barrowing x" kids; its BORROW.

Gilded Altar vs. Ectofuntus
Yeah but you can't really isolate the xp getting part from the slime and gridning part when working xp/hr since its all required to gain the xp Which is what makes it epically slow

safe spot for dust devils?
Why respect a site where all the info is outdated? It's useless. Rspect tip.it, runeHQ and Zybez that put thousands of man hours into writing guides to all new content AND keeping old guides up to date.

Gilded Altar vs. Ectofuntus
Ectofunctus gives 400% xp vs 350% on gilded. But ectofunctus is substantially slower making it worse xp/hr and gp/hr to train with. It's just about usable with ashes though as they only need slime, no grinding; but still its rather slow.

safe spot for dust devils?
Out-dated info is never valuable info, no matter how new a player is. If the info is dated its not good info to learn as it teaches you how to do things in noobier, slower ways. And the reason its outdatedness proves an issue is because thoose two spots were the two range safe spots and if memory serves both of them are gone now. Hence the ops issue in finding them.

Vyre Corpse Burning
You can burn as many as you like, but there are only 500 names in the book which contribute to upgrades. You get upgraded with it every 50 corpses up to that 500 limit. Also the upgrades seem to do more to you're accuracy than max hits. Maxed flail only seems to hit ~100 more than un-maxed, but it hits a lot more consistently.

safe spot for dust devils?
That guide is painfully, and obviously outdated by a long shot. Facemask and not slayer helm? D-hide and not armadyl/pernix? A BOW and not a c-bow? There's no sign of Summona on the route map either, and no mention of ring of slayer tele. Plus no dungeon marker on the well in polli that you can go down then climb through a side tunnel for smokey well with less needless running. etc.

Spirit of Summer quest
Simple answer: You are timing it wrong, the beast obviously doesn't have its front feet on the disc when you are dismissing the familiar. If memory serves the discs gets smaller, so timing is tighter, but its still same basic principle
