Eyrelex II

So i'm starting a completely new account on members fresh off tutorial island (no stats or quests done) to see what the experience is like starting from scratch on p2p and i've never been a member before. Can i get some advice on how i should start like: -skills i should start training first? -quests that would be good to do? -money making tips? I'm hoping to make enough to buy a few bonds during the 2 weeks i have so this is especially important.

Don't drink and scape i guess, but guthix and actually none of the god armours are worth nearly what they used to be back in the day it definitely wouldve hurt more if it was a decade ago.

That sounds pretty sweet but i guess those gambling clans never came to f2p worlds or maybe this was after my time cause i dont remember ever hearing about them. But it sounds like youve done quite well from drop parties, im hoping that my luck will continue since im starting to remember how much of a grind old school is especially compared to RS3. And that tutorial island party sounds like it wouldve been pretty interesting to say the least, wish i couldve seen that.

I just started up my old school account and ive been spending alot of time at the GE trying to merch (with not alot of success...) but i almost always see some drop party being advertised and initially i ignored them since back in the day i was never really able to get anything, i think the best thing i mightve gotten was a rune scimitar or pickaxe. But this weekend i decided to try my luck out and i dont know whats changed but ive been able to score pretty big at almost every drop party ive been to. In total im pretty sure ive netted around 1.5 mil in items which includes mainly rune weapons and armor (including trimmed and god armor pieces) so im about half way to a bond now. So suffice it to say drop parties have become my main money making method at least until i get my skills up. But what have your best pickups been at drop parties?

The pets definitely seem like they are the rarest, i've only been able to get 1 wolpertinger and no kegs so far while i've gotten multiples of everything else.

After spending a lot of time barrel making and glass blowing and not getting anything i decided to go back to the racetrack and started getting tokens relatively consistently so i can pretty confidently say racetrack has much better frop rates for tokens.

I guess i'm a week late to the party but i've just started trying out the Novtumberfest activities and so far i've only been able to get 1 beer goggles token from the racetrack activity and i've spent at least a few minutes at all of the activities available to f2p and probably at least about an hour total. So how long exactly does it take to get all of the tokens? Are the tokens given randomly? Like you can get any token from doing any activity or are they specific to one activity (ie. You can only get beer goggles tokens from the racetrack)? On a side note i can't say i'm a fan of this kind of holiday event i much prefer the old ones where you just go in do the event get the item and get on with your life. Hopefully all holiday events aren't like this nowadays...

Nice that's a pretty sweet pick up. Updated for yesterday and today's scores. Funny how my main is so far having the worst luck and my backup account is getting the best stuff, not that any of that stuff would be useful to my main anyways but still...

Oh i see thanks for clarifying!

That's contrary to what i've read on other sources (official runescape forums, reddit, wikia). This was from the official forums "F2P accounts can only use their bonus XP up while DXP is active, Members can use them at any point." I just can't find anywhere that says how its actually used...

Treasure trails was always something i wanted to try since i always liked trimmed armors and with CS week going on i finally got to try it out and i've been pretty surprised and happy with what i've gotten so far. So i have 3 accounts that i use, my main, a secondary account that i just created when i came back to the game, and a backup account that i pretty much never use and these are the results i've gotten with each of them: Main: 1. Random junk 2. Black (t) platelegs 3. Random junk 4. Random junk 5. Random junk 6. Random junk 7. Studded leather body (g) Secondary: 1. Random junk 2. Random junk 3. Random junk 4. Random junk 5. Amulet of magic (t) + willow composite bow (didn't notice it was composite at first and almost dumped it) 6. Random junk 7. Random junk Backup: 1. Black (h1) plateskirt 2. Random junk 3. Black (h4) platebody 4. Random junk 5. Amulet of magic (t) 6. Random junk 7. Random junk So far i have a 33% success rate on getting a trimmed item even though it's kind of ironic that i've gotten the best items on the account that i never use but i won't complain. Anyways please share what you've gotten this week too.

So i just noticed while i was training that under prayer i apparently have 5213 bonus xp and i'm assuming it's related to the xp items i've been getting from treasure hunter since i've only used those items for prayer like i've always done with any xp granting items. I've tried googling and reading up on this but i'm still kinda confused on how exactly bonus xp works but from what i understand this bonus xp isn't actually part of my current xp total yet and has to be redeemed before it gets added to my actual xp, is that true? Also since i'm f2p i can't redeem this bonus xp until there is a double xp event? So basically this bonus xp will keep accumulating until i can redeem it and then it will get added to my current xp total? And one last question, how do i redeem this bonus xp when the chance arises? Will it just automatically be added to my current xp total when a double xp event happens?

Thanks i didn't realize they were separate games and i figured since my account was from old school that i could still use it there too.

Since i came back to the game i've been playing in RS3 but when i tried to log in today on my same account in old school runescape it had me create a new character and started me off on tutorial island. Do i pretty much have to start over now in old school runescape? If i had logged in to old school runescape originally instead of RS3 would it have kept my account as it was?

Sorry mods i just had to bump this seeing that Jagex actually implemented my idea (i really wonder if they actually saw it here).

I still remember when Durial went on his rampage and when n0valyfe overtook Zezima on the hiscores, those were the days...

All i can say is i'm happy to see that tip.it is still around even though the decline in active users is very apparent. Although I was active on other forums back in the day tip.it was always my go to and the one i was most active on, and with my current return to RS i'll try to do my part and be more active here. On a sidenote it was like walking back in time reading through some of my old posts from my old account, oh the nostalgia...

No arguments there, GE is by far a superior system for trading but i just think RS lost a bit of its charm and sense of community because there isn't that player interaction anymore, you really felt like you were in some insane marketplace walking through that area back then.

Since my recent return to RS one of the places i've been frequenting has been the Grand Exchange as i've been trying to recover the items i lost when i was hacked 6 years ago. And although i love this new system and wholeheartedly know that it's a vast improvement over how trade used to be done i can't help but miss the old days of standing in one spot typing the same sentence over and over trying to sell your wares or buy that new item, all the while trying to avoid all the scammers. World 1 Varrock West Bank was one of the places that truly gave RS that sense of community which is something that appears to be missing in the game nowadays. While the GE is obviously much more efficient and convenient it's also completely impersonal, back then you would actually have to meet and talk to the person you were doing business with and that interaction i think just helped make you feel that much more that you were part of another community and world. So like the title says does anyone else miss the days of one of the true centers of commerce that was World 1 Varrock West Bank?

Thanks, i still need to check out these new quests and it looks like they revamped some of the old quests so i have to redo some... Btw i already tried that headless arrow money making tip you gave me and it's gold! Made over 100k for maybe 20 minutes worth of work (had to chop the trees myself and fletch them cause i couldnt find any arrow shafts on GE).

Hi i'm looking to train all the members skills to 5 in f2p and was wondering how you train up construction in f2p? Seems like xp lamps are really the only way, is that correct?

Wow thanks for all the tips i really needed some money making advice and i'll definitely give these a try. Also about mystic and blue dhide, i'm aiming to get both of those too and i'll probably end up buying them first just cause they are better stat wise but like you said just for nostalgia reasons i still wanna get the wiz (g) and green dhide (g) sets as well once i can afford them

That's crazy considering what they are, i'm already having a hard enough time with the current price. I'm pretty sure both of these sets were under 1 mil when i got them when they were first released; full wiz (g) might've been roughly 1 mil or slightly less and full green dhide (g) might've even been under 500k...

Oh that makes sense, so now they are in demand by p2p players as well so i guess the price probably won't be dropping any time soon unfortunately.

Hello, i'm returning from a long hiatus (one that i didn't think i'd ever return from) and i'm currently trying to recover the items that i lost when i was hacked, these two sets being some of them, but when i was looking up the current prices for these items i was completely shocked. I remember buying these when they were first released for a fraction of the price they are going for now and that was when these were the best armor sets available for f2p for magic and ranged. Nowadays with mystic and blue dhide available i really don't understand why these are so high, i'm thinking now is probably not a good time to buy but should i expect the price to drop in the near future? Is there a reason why they have gone up? Change to the drop rates or something like that?
