with the amount of time and effort it takes to make a sign of the porter and the emerald necklace that goes with it, you may as well do a bank run with those activities. only convenient situation for it is during fighting.

ugh pretty useless then

I've been away for some months and my sign of the porter is not working, has it changed? Have I forgotten to do something with it? In my worn equipment tab it says it is active with 20 charges but while fighting it was not transporting any gems which already have spots in my bank, nor any grimy herbs, nothing. The info button of the sign of the porter says those things are it's level. Nothing is getting transported and my fight session ended with all 20 charges remaining.

thankyou, that suits my purpose, just to be a bit faster, ran out of my stock of dwarven stout, it wears off very quickly. better pickaxe made no diff.

am I doing it wrong or does the desert wyrm not give a mining boost of plus one like the tip-it guide says? only choices on him are interact and burrow, interact only gives a lame conversation with it with no choices at the end of the conversation.

I've reported plenty of people in all my 15 years in Runescape and I've never been banned. EmeraldNaim perhaps you announced that you were reporting them, "I'm reporting you/I reported you!", in that case next time, just report and be on your merry way. They probably report you back after you say you're reporting them. I always keep to myself, people are often saying "I'm reporting you!" to me, because I don't chat, I'm not very social in the game. Even then I don't say anything, I just keep playing and doing what I'm doing. I figure Jagex probably look into it and see I haven't done anything wrong.

I was once, long ago, when Rune armour was the bees knees, really annoyed with the masses of people especially in Varrock, yelling in colour Rune armour etc for sale, at very high prices. So I got thinking that one day I would reach mining and smithing level to make it myself and sell it dirt cheap to upset the market .. You could do that with the Zamorak wine .. then they wouldn't be bothered with it so much as it wouldn't make them so much money mass produce it and sell it dirt cheap and ruin their market

Ha! Thanks for that link, Arceus, I enjoyed reading that, it was very amusing no wonder there's so many people who just buy their way through skills, especially herblore .. they lost their bots I remember that all of that tedious skilling, gathering, was what made this game addictive in the first place, it was charming the thrill of taking the muddy key to the chest at the lava maze for some rubies and pineapple pizza, but who the H would do that now? Wilderness too overrun by botted up lazy vultures taking pleasure in ruining others' fun instead of having their own ..

or you could make the wine yourself?

ok so I've worked out that I was up to puzzle 2 according to the pics on your more detailed guide looking at how the pieces were to start with on that one, and I may have just repeated it, and then I completed puzzle 3 and a bit of a song and dance happened with the tiny cutscene. The thing that threw me off in the first place was that there was no acknowledgement from the game that I had completed puzzle 2. I'd like to know how YOU knew you had, besides looking at the guide. If you didn't follow the guide, how would you have known? Secondly I'd like to know how you knew where the line of cogs needed to end up in each puzzle, if you hadn't have been going by the guide? That diagram from the crate is gobbledyspeak, I can't see the relationship between it and each of the puzzle objectives at all. I'm not a dim person, I do usually work these sorts of things out myself, I hardly ever use the quest guides, in fact for the first few years that I played back in 2000 I didn't know there WERE guides, and managed to complete quests without help. Like did everyone back then get stuck on this and Runescape ended up giving someone the solutions so now there's a guide everywhere everyone follows? How many of you solved this whole series of puzzles in this quest all by yourself without looking at any guide? Did there used to be an NPC to talk to about this quest that's now been removed? Especially with realising what the objective of each stage of the puzzle is, and that there isn't any clue to start on puzzle 2 or acknowledgement upon completion of puzzle 2. how did you know?

I'm stuck on the puzzle .. I did puzzle 1 no worries, the cutscene played puzzle 2 I followed the tip.it guide, but nothing happened .. twas all a mystery thought I did it wrong, read the guide wrong, so I reset and did it again very carefully, nothing happpened I looked up puzzle 2 elsewhere in case the tip.it guide was misprinted, but Runescape Wiki has the same solution I got p*d off, threw a tantrum, reset it and played with all the levers, any levers .. I don't know how many turns I used Have I moved onto puzzle 3? Have I failed in that case, having gone bonkers on the levers probably on puzzle 3? How can I return to the start of the puzzle, puzzle 1, and do it over? Is there a do-over? Have I messed up the quest completely never to have another go at it ever again? I don't know, can't remember, if I pulled the reset lever yet again either Was there supposed to be some sort of song and dance about having solved puzzle 2 or was there supposed to be a nothing specially happening? All these questions and more have been weighing on my heart all day .. but you were away .. the dismay

Thankyou Aiel, that worked :)

lol, apparently he had to change his name, because it's rude, which I didn't know.

how do I change what other players see of me in the game to show my combat level instead of my skills?

what about killing monsters and pick pocketing master farmers? that is free, then sell your potions, that is a 100% profit. It is also fun.

oh well, nevermind then.

Totally each to their own so there's nothing wrong with how you play, but I'm an oldie and refuse to buy anything which I can gather or make myself for free, I find it a waste and far less satisfying. I'm not particularly looking for seeds or nests. I thought it would be an interesting thing to share is all, after comments made to my original post months ago people were pretty sure nests don't drop from farm grown trees. So, they do.

I made a new friend in the game today but it looks like I didn't add him properly and now I don't know how to spell his screen name :( It was something like: Jizzicles .. does anybody know him? He said he added me.

It happened again. Same tree patch, in the gnome stronghold, same type of tree, oak. This time I got a sapphire ring. The next oak tree I grew however didn't get a birds nest. THEN .. a bit later, I was fishing on the Catherby beach, when I got chatting to someone nice, and they were cooking their fish on a fire on the beach. I offered to get my barbeque. I got it out of the bank. The last time I used it, which was a couple of years ago, there was definitely at least one or more uses left, which I was saving for a rainy day. I thought I was being most generous and cool producing it on the beach there for everyone to share and use .. but it has been discontinued! It merely said when using the fish on it, "this is cosmetic and cannot be cooked on" ARGH!! I saved the last use/s for nothing! I'm embarrassed and rather annoyed! Anyone remember those? The summer barbeque, during the Summer of Fun festival or whatever it was called, a couple of years ago, it was a prize on the squeal. Why did they can it? It was mine :( I saved it up :(

Guess what just happened to me? Was chopping down my own grown Oak tree in the gnome area tree farming patch to get it's roots after. While I was chopping it down, a bird's nest fell out. I got a banana tree seed from it. So not only do they grow back if you don't dig them up, they do drop nests too. It hadn't been fully grown for very long at all either, I'd only just grown it and checked it's health. Started chopping to get it's roots and grown another one, and pop, or rather plop, a bird's nest. how about that.

I think it's funny myself how, as a Canadian, has a Blackberry as a workphone, but a LG optimus G as personal phone. Sam and Dean on Supernatural use Blackberries and that show isn't set in Canada

He could have been a "Mystery Shopper", ya know, to test your customer service skills and report back to the company heads.

I once discovered that the Muffin Break at Mandurah Forum made the best pasties I ever ate. I mentioned it to a couple of people. The next time I went there, they were sold out :(

wow Smashing Pumpkins are rather oldish, 90's or maybe even late 80's? Are they American? And I can't remember what their songs were. Were they grunge? When I was a lass .. my dad was the Australian general manager for Seimens, who made telex machines back then, before mobile phones. He was a communications engineer, specializing in microwave. He got sent to Munich to learn about the company for a few months, and when he came back he brought me a ginger heart, an edelweiss locket and a 'Katie Kitten'. I know that's a different country but it's next door isn't it.

oh, I mean flat as in sitting flat on the tips, like you're going to scratch down a blackboard or something. Randox, I can't help reading aloud in my head, it's a lifetime habit, and I think it's probably good for proofreading the original document as I'm copying it. If you're going to be writing novels, you'll probably be copying out your handwritten notes. One of those audio typing machines would be good for you, then you could tape your thoughts, spoken, then play it on the audio typing machine, which have a speed adjuster, slowing down or speeding up the recorded voice to suit your typing speed. Did they call it a dictaphone? I used to enjoy those.
