Creaphis

Hi, Creaphis here, popping in to ask a couple questions: Has anybody out there gotten white sweets? We've all had purple, but I've never seen white. They're on the treasure trail rewards page. What do they do?

I never use iron/steel arrows, so I definitely won't try to accumulate as many as possible. I'll use this for the +4 range bonus, but the ammo generation is really just a nuisance if you have to keep clearing ammo out of your inventory.

Skip ahead to to the last paragraph if you don't want to read this much. "Skill benefit" means different things to different people. I define it as something that helps train other skills, which includes money made from the skill. This means that the only benefits hunter has for me are the gloves of silence, spottier capes, and the new teleports that came with hunter's release. I'm curious about how much damage salamanders and chinchompas can do, but no matter how much it is I don't think I'll want to fuel my weapon with herbs. Construction doesn't have many outward benefits either, especially when the cost is factored in. I didn't plan to entertain at my house so I don't have any of those rooms (combat, games, throne, dungeon, etc). That leaves the benefits of spell tablets, chapel training, teleport portals and a few more odds and ends. One of the most useful things to me in construction is "teleport to house", which only takes level 1 like the new fairy rings. Farming also has few benefits. I've found growing my own herbs to be very helpful, but aside from that nearly all other farming benefits only help in very slight, exact situations. Super poison is a nice benefit, but farming really only increased poison damage from 4 to 6. Also, the poison is more a herblore reward than farming reward in some ways. To sum up: from a purely practical view, the latest skills haven't been very useful. Does that matter? NOT AT ALL. If you enjoy training skills it doesn't matter what you get from it. This is a game, after all, and you should enjoy playing it all the time, not just when you reach certain points. Despite the shortage of rewards, my farming and construction are 80+ anyway because I enjoyed the process. I'm playing a different genre right now, but when I start playing RS more often I'll probably enjoy hunter as well.

This was absolutely ages ago, at some point in classic, but I still dimly remember it because these topics remind me about it from time to time. Anyways, I don't remember what it was about, but I sent an entire four-line speech to the wrong person. In fact, I've probably done that more than once. All that wasted typing... I've sent "wrong person" to the wrong person too. Another time, I was being pmed by a naive young player who I didn't know. My character is quite the studly chap, so naturally she wanted to be my gf. I was doing my best to turn her down gently (I'm nice that way) while laughing behind her back to a friend of mine. It was only a matter of time before the gf-candidate got one of those messages... whoops...

With the astral stringing spell, do you really get xp for every strung ammy? I'd expect that you get the same amount of xp no matter how many amulets you string. That's how Jagex usually does things.

Hm, I wish they'd also work bird eggs into hunting. Maybe as bait for traps.

Creaphis, 119. I tried a few times and it got me too stressed out, I'd need a way to practice that final fight without spending 3 hours reaching it.

I've been using the free version of ZoneAlarm on my computer for about two weeks, and I've just deduced that it's the cause of my occasional disconnects. I found some help articles on the subject, and it's most likely that I have a dynamic IP and ZoneAlarm cuts me off every time it changes by blocking a ping. The process of finding the proper servers to put in the Trusted Zone appears unwelcoming. I'm using Windows XP, and my computer is attached to my university's network through which I get free high-speed. I do frequent-enough scans with AVG Free and Spybot, and I stay away from suspicious websites. My browsing is done with Opera at default settings (don't change the subject to Firefox unless absolutely necessary). The only things I'm trying to protect with all this are just a couple of passwords. So, is the built in Windows Firewall (which has never caused a disconnect for me) good enough for my computing lifestyle? How is ZoneAlarm really better, in ways that would affect me? Thanks.

I never thought about it before, or noticed the similarity, but I agree with the original poster's first idea: Ivan Strom may be evil in disguise. Good call on that. Though there's another, more obvious Paterdomus issue. Perhaps the werewolves were let across the River Salve by the ARMY OF ZAMORAK MONKS in the chapel there. Funny how they just kind of get ignored after Priest in Peril.

Ever since I started I've drifted in and out.

Hang on, there's a 1-way fairy ring near ecto?

Some will pay very, very little for "impressions" (viewing the ad), but as far as I know, most only pay by click count. Okay thanks, thought so.

Do banner ads generate revenue just from loading, or does the viewer have to click? I never click on banners anyway.

Okay thanks, I'll probably download your recommendations. Does Firefox or Opera have a banner ad blocker, though? Not pop-ups, banner ads. My family computer has Norton Internet Security which blocks banner ads and I never realized how nice that was until now that I don't have it.

I have a completely brand new computer in front of me, and want to make it secure as simply and cheaply as possible. I've already installed the newest free versions of AVG and Ad-Aware. This computer uses Windows XP Media Center Edition, or something like that, and Internet Explorer 6. Here's the questions: Is the built in Windows firewall good enough, or should I download a different free one? Also, is it important that I use a browser other than Internet Explorer? I like using the browser I'm familiar with, though if a free browser has banner ad blocking I could be convinced to switch.

So... if two items have an equal game value, and if you can only keep one when you die, you'll keep the first item alphabetically? Then what do you keep between dragon "gloves" and barrows "gloves", which share a 100k game value? Answer me that! And explain why!

This is the best thread ever. I can't wait for the movie. You're really lucky you had friends keeping you out of trouble.

I never had any sort of moral problem with that tactic, I certainly wouldn't call it scamming. In my mind, the wild is meant to contain every sort of trick imaginable, and if someone loses a whip, it's because they foolishly fell into a clever trap. And before you suspect me of bias, I absolutely never pk and don't plan on starting. Also, I've always wondered how it's decided which item you keep when two items are tied for the same price. Does anyone have it figured out?

An improved axe of any price is worth it if the prices are steady. When you spend 3 mil on an axe you don't lose 3 mil. The axe retains the 3 mil value and can be resold for that after you finish your chopping.

A large pking group could have one lunar mage who casts vengeance on everyone, while doubling as a ranger or warrior. This is this is the most effective use of the new magic in a combat situation, because it would even be useful against monsters such as the kq. Three quarters of the first damaging hit you receive are reflected back, which could quickly add up. Though I'm assuming that you can quickly vengeance a whole team. If there's a time restriction on casting vengeance other, like there is with vengeance self (once every 30 seconds) then it's not as useful. The healing spells are not useful because they use your own hp to heal others. Unless heal group creates more hp than it uses, these spells are a waste of time. The antipoison spells are similarly useless unless they create a temporary immunity like a super anti-poison. Personally I won't be using any of this magic, but that's just because of my style of play. I've only played with vengeance self, I wish I knew more about how all the other spells work.

The only melee weapon I know of that you can smuggle to Entrana is a Dramen Staff. Bring a dramen branch and a knife and you can make the staff on the island. Of course that's useless, because by the time you have the staff you don't need a weapon there.

This is the way Runescape ends Not with a bang but a whimper. - T.S. Eliot

Home > Manual > Skills > Slayer (Members Only) > Slayer - Extra Features Judging by how broodoo shields work, I assume that the number in ()'s refers to how many more charges of this spell are in the mask. Even when the charges run out, you'll still have the attack and strength bonuses. You just won't have a chance of draining enemy defense anymore, which nobody cared about in the first place. When fighting monsters, the spell charges are randomly used from time to time.

Interesting. Can you prove that? There's nothing about that in the dictionary. Edit: Ah, here we go. From Wikipedia: It doesn't really have anything to do with camels. You've got nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't ever use these tactics but they shouldn't be bannable offenses. Jagex can't be expected to protect the entire Runescape population from their own gullibility and lack of forethought. The third term of that offense definition, regarding "misinformation", most likely applies the same way it would in a real world legal sense. For example: "Selling yew longbows 1k each" "How much do they alch for?" "1536 gp!" In this case, a purchase would be made based on misinformation from the seller. This is the reportable offense. And like real world law, all people are expected to have some common sense of their own. The victim in this case showed responsibility in seeking information, and did nothing foolish, but still suffered. If you waltz into wild with your valuables expecting a deal, that is pure negligence and your own fault.
