Location Question
The only 'use' of it I have come across so far was to unlock the track 'Everlasting Fire', but yeah, it is quite spectacular. I suppose you could log out here if you're in the deep wilderness as there aren't any monsters or revenants there.

99 Prayer!
Maybe do Wise Old Man's tasks and get him to bless you with 99 Prayer.

Hunting Penguins
Very nice. Less intense than other hunter activities, yet a faster rate of experience. I get about 70k xp an hour as well, usually slightly more. I would use an Arctic Bear, but the timer isn't very long and I have no idea where the nearest obelisk is. Oh, and I also got one of my last 10 music tracks to unlock. :thumbup:

Dungeoneering: Beyond the Release
I think these developments look awesome, even if I don't care about solo dungeons. :) I particularly like making those skills more useful, and having extra nooks and crannies to explore.

Post all RS Screenshots, Videos, and Sounds here!
I found this graphical glitch rather amusing.

Dungeoneering
Gatestones outside a boss room is generally a good strategy, although sometimes putting it by an altar is better for those bosses for which prayer is more important (and where reentry would be otherwise suicidal). Also, for Stomp and Sagittare where the terrain is the main issue, gatestones are better put to use within the boss room itself. When Sagittare teleports, a gatestone teleport can often mean you get a lot more hits in. As long as someone else is standing in front of lodestones, by putting a gatestone there, you can still place the crystal even when everything is blocked around it. I also agree with pretty much everything yuriqiu said.

Dungeoneering Suggestions
I agree with some of these, such as wearing a Dungeoneering Cape (because it's of the dungeon, I suppose it can't be tainted), making Fletching F2P (there are already enough limitations on F2P range/mage with the absence of farming and hunter), Boss Room Warning, Soul Runes (why not) and Arrow Strength (to make using range mildly competitive in killing monsters). But I think resources should be part of the base xp if it isn't already, rather than a bonus. Staves on Forgotten Mages is a maybe; I don't know if I want them that much harder to kill, yet it makes sense that they should have staves and should drop them. Halberd, Crossbow and Bolts would work - not sure about the others. Don't think it's a good idea to make it too similar to overground. I disagree with giving too many binds though - that ruins the idea of using resources...in a useful way. 4 binds for level 75 is definitely way too much, though I'm tending towards agreeing about the ammo bind. I might even consider giving slayer items a separate bind slot, seeing as it's extremely difficult to acquire, yet aren't quite useful enough in their own rights to merit a bind slot. Granted the fletching, I think just having more resources would also work. Solo large would take up memory, and create massive complaints when every person who decides to venture in disconnects. I think the difference between dying and not dying is worth more than 1% xp difference; the idea that you would still get a bonus for dying 14 times is ridiculous. Maybe the penalty should be reduced slightly, but not that much. So I guess I'm half-half in supporting :P

Most annoying dungeoneering boss
Having battled each of the bosses multiple times, I think on balance Har'lakk the Riftsplitter is the most annoying. Unholy Cursebearer is annoying too if you don't manage to kill it extremely quickly. Most of these are team experiences though, as I hardly ever solo.

How long do you play a day?
According to the Adventure Log, just over an hour a day. It tends to work around all my other activities, so recently 0-5 hours a day of playing.

The ultimate Wise Old Man minigame guide, updated:8-28-07
After many quests, I can confirm that the monster under the bed does exist. According to the XP I gained, it has 25 HP. I had forgotten to screenshot the actual quest being given, as well as the actual reward - Hitpoints experience (well...I accidentally copied over it), but I captured the rest of the conversation. Oh, and I forgot to examine it as well >_< In case it was not obvious already, to kill the monster, you go upstairs and kick the bed. It will start attacking. This can only be done when he says there is a monster.

What after Rune dragons
Seeing as they drop bars 100%...how about a Monkey (which will somehow be a metal) Dragon. It drops Monkey Bars and Monkey Dragon Bones 100%, with the rare drop being the Dragon Greegree -.- Seriously, I can almost see a point in the Mithril Dragon, as Mithril was meant to be a mystical metal. Adamant, on the other hand, just describes a very hard substance, and considering that they are metal dragons after all, that's a given.

Loach
Can anyone tell me what a Loach does? I can't find any data on this item. Is it just another 2HP heal food? Got this from a Gourmet when I sold it something, if that's of any use. :-s

How To Become A Master Thief: 1 - 99 Thieving Guide!
I tried the method today, and I guess that pickpocketing twice requires you to right-click as soon as you knock the bandit out and not wait for the graphical action to happen. Also, you don't have to run away out of the area if you get caught. If you knock-steal in Ali the Camel Seller's house, you can make a quick escape up the stairs and down again. It's a small area and if you manage to position the bandit between yourself and Ali, it'll hardly move and you'll hardly need to (camel sellers don't attack). However, this requires you to close curtains whenever it resets...

Weekly Poll: Where's the very first place...
I believe I travelled all the way through Taverley, White Wolf Mountain, Catherby, Seers Village, Ardougne and the Gnome Stronghold by foot, just to see it all, and eventually get disappointed by playing Gnomeball :P

I saw, I wanted, and 'mihi' seems to have multiple translations.
