Almost definitely a scam, don't click the link or your account probably will really be compromised :P I've never heard of Jagex sending out such emails.

instant drop is deliberate i think So if someone drops something in the wilderness it immediately goes to the ground? I wasn't even attacking this guy (he was a level 90 odd), all of sudden his stuff appears beneath him, so I run over and grab what I can :S Yes, it's to stop people dropping stuff to prevent other people from getting the drop when they die.

I would have preferred the Smithing update they mentioned almost a year ago to a Crafting one, but the Crafting one looks interesting nonetheless. The bit about the Gravestones pleases me the most though :thumbup:

You need to kill one of the monkey archers and then take its bones and a monkey talisman to Zooknock.

There is also World 77 which I personally have never used but I've heard there are enough people there to minimise your chances of being attacked. World 84 is still a better choice, but if you lag too much 77 is a good alternative.

Try W117 Daemonheim or W84 LRCs. If that fails there are a couple of Effigy Assist clan chats, the most well known being "assistclan".

Wfs = Waterfiends. They can be found in the Ancient Cavern and Chaos Tunnels.

26m Attack xp 500th Slayer Task Finally joining in the "Rare drop from Abyssals that isn't a whip" game. My second one, turned my first into an Abyssal Minion.

It does work with Kebbit Bolts, however as others have mentioned it isn't worth it and you're better off using Broad Bolts.

I thought they didn't say in Fally, but noth of Fally. It's possible, I just remember them saying something about Falador. It would probably make sense north of Falador since it is a bit crowded in Falador at the moment :P

There's a good guide on Pyramid Plunder in the Archive of Wisdom which can be found here which tells you the best method to get the maximum xp an hour. In brief you should rush to the room before the highest you can enter (you can loot all gold chests on your way if you want), search every vase in that room for snakes, look the golden chest and then go to the final room. Once in the final room you should check the vases for snakes and then loot them. I'd suggest swapping your Saradomin Brew for an Enhanced Excalibur if you have it. It will probably take between 2 and 3 hours to get from 60-66. Hope this helps!

If you can't do Blackjacking then Pyramid Plunder would indeed be your best bet for quick xp :)

Whip + Dragon Defender and spend the money on something useful like Herblore, Prayer or Summoning. DFS isn't really useful for anything except Skeletal Wyverns.

Not really worth buying, it's expensive and inferior to the Barrows melee armour (although that does require 70 defence). I'd recommend just getting 70 defence and buying Torag's Plate and Legs personally. It is quite rare you will see people wearing Dragon armour, most of the time it's just used to show off due to their being much cheaper and better alternatives out there (Neitiznot Helm, Barrows Armour and Fighter Torso to name but a few). Dragon Boots are the only piece of Dragon Armour with purchasing really. As for why the plate and full helm are so expensive, the helm is a very rare drop from Mithril Dragons or from Pyre Ships using Chewed Bones (also a drop from Mithril Dragons). The plate is rare 3 piece drop from Tormented Demons so you need all three pieces (and 92 smithing) to make it. So there are huge amounts of them in game. Hope this helps!

You used to be able to because hitting a 0 didn't always mean you missed and the ferocious ring gave the +40 damage to any landed hit. However since you can't hit a 0 anymore, only a miss or 1 I don't think it's still possible to hit a 40. I can't say for definite though since I don't pay a huge amount of attention to my damage :P

You are not restricted on how many effigies you can have (other than by bank space) regardless of the skills required to open them. You could have 10 Crafting/Agility effigies for example. For future reference questions like this should be in Help & Advice :)

I don't think it will change much really, bots are persistent and if PKers become a problem they could just go through the safe route.

In the live Q&A (or the other Q&A I can't remember) they said there was going to be a gaming grotto in Falador where the minigames from the Wilderness would migrate to which will most likely include Clan Wars since that area is being replaced with the Boneyard. As for Summer's End I believe they said the start of it would be moved to outside the Wildnerness and that during the quest you would be safe from PKers. As for the rest of it, like Sy said we'll have to wait until Tuesday to find out.

Yep, although getting a +3 boost from stews isn't terribly rare really. You can get an invisible +10 level boost from Lava Titans, however that's only useful for mining and not effigies.

There was around 240k when I logged in late yesterday afternoon (GMT). Surprisingly Slayer spots weren't that crowded but I suspect we will probably see some new servers/worlds in the not too distant future if the number of players remains this high.

What happens if you go there in Standard Definition or Safe Mode? Seems really odd that it just lags in that specific place, there's not an unusually high concentration of NPCs or Players there so my only guess would be that perhaps the animations of Bloodvelds don't agree with your computer. Other than the GE it is very rare to get location specific lag :unsure: Just try Safe Mode or SD and see what happens or try a different world. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a viable way of training magic that's 2gp/xp. Hati gloves do work with none-combat magic (at least Lunar spells anyway) so like Quyneax said have a look at superheating, plank making, amulet stringing and cursing. Superheating and Cursing are pretty click intensive, but you will get smithing xp with the former and if you have access to concentrated gold you can mine gold there and superheat it without it interrupting your mining. Hope this helps!

Andy Murray becomes the first player in the Open Era to fail to win a single set in three grand slam final appearances, quite an achievement there. He really needs to improve mentally if he ever wants to win a grand slam as he just can't handle the big games. Credit to Djokovic though, he played an amazing game and his defensive lobs were incredible and saved him in several lost causes. The worrying thing for his rivals is that he didn't play as well as he did against Federer yet he destroyed the 5th (I think 4th when the new rankings come out tomorrow) best player in the world so this definitely wont he his last slam. Now we have a 4 month wait until the next Slam :thumbdown:

Where did you find Jagex saying they were going to stop updating Runescape in 2012? I find it hard to believe that 90% of Runescape players will move to SD within the first month since they're going to be completely different games :blink:

Jagex has been performing server maintenance over the last couple of weeks and a fair few people seem to be reporting better pings on worlds so I would assume that that's what the maintenance is doing or is at least a side effect.
