As long as there are skill capes, and as long as prestige comes with those skill capes, secondary skills will never be profitable. O.O Which is horrible and makes absolutely no sense if you think logically, but that's just the way it is. :(

Well that was a rather interesting read. And seems to fit the bill rather nicely. :XD: Anywho, how I'm different: I can't STAND killing monsters just for levels or just for money or something like that. If I'm killing dragons? I keep the bones and hides and use them for prayer and crafting exp. :D I've never gone and killed monsters that are supposed to be good for training, I train through slayer! And that's where almost 100% of my combat happens now. I did only do all the quests for the cape really... but now that I have the cape I try and pay attention to the story lines. :D However I'm awful at that and forget them all mostly anyways... I play for... *gasp* FUN. I hate when people sit there and grind and complain about how awful a skill is. If it's so bad, why train it?? You are playing a GAME which is supposed to be FUN. Also, just jumping around in topics here, I don't wanna go back and edit stuff. :XD: I don't really like combat minigames. I go to Stealing Creation sometimes, and it's pretty fun. I like to use the Morphic Tool for mining stars. :D I used to play Trouble Brewing a lot too. I was trying to get the black navy suit I think... but I got bored and quit, and now I have a bunch of Pieces of Eight sitting in my bank doing nothing. :D Runecrafting Guild minigame isn't too bad either! And the tabs are super awesome. :D Anywho... long story short, I like to see myself differently than the average player who grinds through the game simply for the accomplishments and prestige. O.O EDIT: OO and updates! I can never wait to read about the next update. :D I am always in the know on updates. O.O

I hate them also. O.O I'm an average everyday skiller, mostly self sufficient. I don't merch, cause I know from past experience that I fail at it. :P Anyways, there was a time when I was trying to buy snap seeds, because I was raising farming. And know what? It took me THREE DAYS to buy LESS THAN 100 snap seeds. Is that normal? No. Highly inconvenient? Yes! I can't just go pick up snap seeds for myself to use. They are stupidly annoying, and I think everyone should lay off of the OP. Who cares if he made a bad decision in merching? He's complaining about the CLANS and how they mess with the GE and the prices and VERY FEW people benefit and EVERYONE ELSE loses. And there's nothing anyone can do because they aren't even breaking any rules.

DO BRING emergency food. Just one or two monks or something like that will be good. I had a task where I forgot to bring a few pieces of food and I was getting hit stupidly hard. (I'm level 121 or something like that, so I'm definitely not lacking in the combat department.) Anyways, I spent most of task praying melee WITH my bunyip, and in the end I had to bank anyways because I had no bunyip, no food and no prayer left. It won't hurt, they don't drop a ton of items that you need the space for anyways. :D

If you have pretty much nothing in your bank, you could always mine or wc. All you need is a pick or an axe, which it won't be hard to get those. Also collecting herblore seconds (such as the aforementioned snape grass or blue dragon scales.) Also killing unicorns for their horns. I'm not sure whether the horns or the dust is worth more right now, but you don't need ANYTHING to kill unicorns, though a weapon would make it much faster. If you have a not to bad set of items then killing green or blue dragons isn't a bad option. :D

Sounds like they found a good way for all this stuff to work! I'm not much of a PvPer at all, but atleast some people will happy. New quests would also be good... Noting identified herbs is good too! Will definitely make banking my farmed herbs easier, I don't have to keep a stack of the grimy ones anymore. :D

Sounds like they're thinking of some fun things! My computer has been down for the last week now, and my membership is wasting away! I wish I could even see the updates myself, but the school computers here have the site blocked. -.-

99 Mining is an incredible goal, good luck on it! You seem to be making good progress. :D

Wish I could make myself thieve that much.. I'll never get 75! :XD: About your post... no I can't say I feel much sympathy for the NPC's. :P They're just some zero's and one's kicking around in cyber space, doing what they were prescribed to do. These ones were told to let us take their money (though not necessarily always without a fight) and that's what we do. Thieving sucks to train. -.-

I <3 lunar cape, but if I want to wear it I need to keep all the pieces in my bank (EVERYTHING, normal body parts, plus ring, boots, gloves, necklace... that's a LOT.) It is a bit inconvenient. :( However, I'm sure there are better things they can work on, and it's not really that big of a deal. We DO have a lot of bank space. :P I just don't like cluttering my bank with items I'll never use. :(

The Slayers guild CC is Axe man Jack. Any other person claiming to own "the slayers guild" is a liar or a rip-off TBH. He's the leader of the TSG yes, but that doesn't mean he has to be the CC also. =\ EDIT: However upon checking both CC's out, I concur, and Axe Man Jack's CC is definitely TSG CC. :XD:

Lol. South Park. I'm not sure how much of a great idea this sounds like... It seems there won't be a HUGE amount of these guys around, and they won't exactly be right smack in the middle of everything you wanna do either. Plus it's probably much faster to just use super energies or terrorbird scrolls. Guess we'll see how these turn out. :)

I find even 90 rc very impressive. :ohnoes: Crafting cape is pretty cool though, and it's not like a see a ton of those. :D And if you made dhide bodies, you could rc the nats and alch the bodies, and get rc and magic exp! Hooray for exp! :D

This was mine run was I was farming: (If all went well I would get 30k exp from just this one run, plus all the exp from other runs w/o trees through the day. I use Lunar Magics also.) Start in Edgeville, take spirit tree to Gnome Stronghold (fruit tree) Run back and take fairy ring (CIP) to Miscellania (bush) Khazard teleport and run north (bush) Ship from Ardougne to Brimhaven (fruit tree) Ship back to Ardougne for allotment Cabbage-Port to allotment Run to Falador (tree) Run to Taverly (tree) Tele to Camelot for allotment and fruit tree Hope that helps with your run. It's always fun making up your own, though it can be frustrating sometimes figuring out how to work out your inventory. :o

If you took a look at the requirements, you could probably guess that the quest isn't supposed to be hard and likely wouldn't have great rewards. Looking past the rewards though, I kind of liked it. I finally figured out the Mahjarret are actually a species, yes go me. :XD: It was also interesting and I think it could open up a whole new line of quests and we could find out a lot about this rather mysterious species. :D

I'd do it for bragging rights, too. :D I've been playing for years and I've never gotten a champion scroll, so I've never gotten a chance to even find out what it's like. :( I've never really mass killed the monsters that drop the scrolls, but still... would be nice if you didn't HAVE to do that to just have a small chance at those scrolls. :XD:

Lol this thread has inspired me to turn the music in the game back on. :D I haven't played with it on in years... Harmony brings back some memories. :D I think I'll leave it on for a while and see what some of the newer areas music is like. I don't have much else to listen to anyways. And I don't feel that the rs music is TOO horrible. :D

You're wrong. You can't tell him the events of WGS. Now that I think of it TCC might be a very important quest to mention as well. Yeah well I happen to absolutely suck at remembering quest story lines. :XD: I can hardly remember what happened in WGS and I did it just pretty recently. :oops: Maybe I'll have to see if I can find somewhere that posts all the story lines of quests. :XD:

If you go back and talk to Ali after the quest you can tell him everything you've learned from previous quests about the Mahjarret. I only just figured out today that they are actually a SPECIES. :XD: Anyways, there's a lot to learn if you don't really remember much about the Mahjarret. I hope they continue these quests and we learn more about the Mahjarret; they seem like an interesting species. :D

I'm sure those forum mods got it from somewhere though. I'm also pretty sure I've read something (official) about it too. I'm pretty certain it's against the rules. EDIT: Also, it looks to me like it was two different forum mods who posted those messages. And it's not like they accidentally typed the exact same message referring to the same kind of situation. :P

I definitely think it should go. RC is supposed to be a hard, yet profitable, skill. It's profitable, because it's not a skill that many people enjoy training. And now, it's not nearly as profitable because members have a lot better things they could be doing than mining essence. Sure, a few people may be unhappy, but there was also a few people unhappy with the anti-RWT updates, and we've moved past those now. :P It's much like the randoms. Randoms were there mostly for the autoers, and Jagex kept adding more and more randoms in an effort to stop the autoers, but as usual, they got smarter too and got past those randoms. Now that RWT-ing has been killed, something has been done about the randoms, and people are happy about that. It's the same kind of concept in my mind. :D

I say, if you wanna do Dust Devils, do Dust Devils. The charms are pretty good, and summoning levels are never a bad thing. :D They're easy to camp at, and they aren't overly dangerous monsters. Maybe they aren't THE ABSOLUTE fastest, and maybe they don't THE BEST stackable drops, but so what? Do what you wanna do and what you find fun.

Glory, pouches. Yeah, and getting pouches back isn't exactly easy. =\ Atleast it wasn't back then.

Why, if there are 3 different kind, does it say only "Bagged Plant" EVERYWHERE you look? :?

Yeah, rs economy is messed up really. :P However, I think that's because we value experience over money. People will pay a lot of money to get a lot of experience fast, so raw materials are much more valuable to us than the finished products are. Completely backwards from real life. :P What the heck are we gonna do with a lump of coal in real life? We certainly aren't gonna take the time and smelt it into to steel and build buildings all on our own. We get nothing out of that. On Runescape, we get experience, and experience > all.
