Mourning Ends Part 2
I dont take it as a put down at all - after all discussion is bound to help me as well :wink: While you are in the temple the lvl 73 shadows are going to keep on hitting you - so you will be wanting to keep protect from Melee on at all times and try to make prayer last as long as possible. So it may even be worthwhile to carry a holy wrench to gain that extra little prayer boost. My thinking behind the Glory, was it also gives me a fast tele out of there, without using up inventory space. Remember you are also going to want to have space available for all the items you are going to have to carry. I am also considering the defence bonuses, so I will probably use the Saradomin book rather than the Guthans book. (I am lucky in that I have all 3). Once my prayer runs out, my defence bonuses will come into play so I get hit as little as possible and can make my food last. I concede your point on the initiate sallet but possibly the prolysite one instead?

Mourning Ends Part 2
Ok - Agility! An important word, as even at 70 you will be failing. (All of this applies to me too as this is the next quest on my list to do - just 3 to finish for my cape). You really want to get your weight as low as it can go. So boots of lightness and spotty cape / spottier cape will be of use. For the prayer bonus, use a dragon mace - or a rune mace. Prayer potions (or super rstores) and agility potions will be good as will the best healing food you can get. (So for me this will be Tuna Sweetcorn potatoes - heal 22). Expect to be having to pay a visit to a bank to be able to restock though. As far as what to wear - well if you are going to be praying against melee, why wear armour at all? Wear full monks robes and that should also help with the weight issue. I would suggest glory rather than the holy symbol. I would also suggest the Fremennik Royal Helm - the winged Helm of Neitiznot, from the recent Fremennik Isles quest. Hope that helps - good luck

There is a reward for completing each of the levels. If you are a high enough level you can bypass all but the last and just collect all of the treasure

where to get iron spear?!?!
You need an iron spear or better - so essentialy not a bronze. Hobgoblins drop iron or better spears pretty often, you can find a number of them behind the crafting guild

The Tower of Life - February 19
No need for that Jesters Costume to clog up bank space - you can get it again from the chest behind the king's throne.

12 February 2007 - A sq'irk a day... Next
Its good for all lvl of thieves - just make sure you reduce your weight as much as possible so as to save your run energy. You can get randoms in there, so perhaps a DDP? You also have to be careful where you click, a couple of times I clicked too close to a hedge only to have my character turn around and start running back the way he had just come, straight into the path of an elemental and back out to the fountain area! :oops:

Are You A Famous Tip.It'er?
Well - I have my name on a couple of guides :lol: Not famous though, nor would I want to be. Tend to dress down while running around the lands, so no one pays any attention to the N00b and starts asking for St00f. :mrgreen:

The Death...Of
His sacrifice was not in vain! Bravely he hurled himself repeatedly in the path of Supreme that a lurer kept leading over to where the rest were (cowering). Then he rushed to the aid of damsel(s) in distress, picking them up, dusting them down and whispering in their ear which prayer they should be using. Poor guy must have been rushed off his feet ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ more chaos and bedlam than Paddington station in rush hour if the staff had called a wildcat strike! :shock: He put up a pretty good show out there all on his lonesome at times taking on all 3 of the kings. The man done good and is to be applauded. =D>

Do you use Willow logs because the fire burns for longer?

Guide for fast Lobster F2P Fishing/Cooking on Karamja
I think the point of this guide was Kuroi_Ame was trying to gain fishing and cooking experience in F2P with little outlay. Selling the cooked and burnt to the store is quicker than dropping them ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ the money gained is an added bonus. If you were to sit doing this in one of the F2P PKing worlds there are quite often other players turning up in this area looking to get free / cheap food so you could also trade to them to save you having to go to the shop. To fly fish, there is an outlay of feathers. It not relevant if those feathers are bought or gathered yourself ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ they are still used up while fly fishing. With lobster fishing once you have your pot you are pretty much set up for life, unless you happen to lose your pot to a random. Other players may prefer to bank their lobsters either to sell uncooked or cooked, but trips to the bank take time which slows down the experience you are gaining. Kuroi_Ame, is just after the experience on the 2 skills.

Atronic92's Shilo gem mining guide [updated 10/30]
Ok here is some information from the RS Knowledge base. (Pretty much what you already have in your table). Please be aware that the information there is not always accurate! Seems the ability to cut the gems may be based on your fletching level rather than your crafting level̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ (so that would mean if you did not have the necessary level to be able to cut a gemstone, you may still be able to turn it into bolttips ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ seems a bit suspect to me!) FL = Fletching Level to make bolt tips FE/G = Fletching Experience per gem TB = Type of bolt to attach tips to FE/B = Fletching Experience per bolt tip attached Opal - FL= 11 FE/G = 1 TB = Bronze FE/B = 1.6 Jade - FL = 26 FE/G = 2 TB = Blurite FE/B = 2.4 Red Topaz - FL = 48 FE/G = 3 TB = Steel FE/B = 3.9 Sapphire - FL = 56 FE/G = 4 TB = Mithril FE/B = 4.7 Emerald - FL = 58 FE/G = 5 TB = Mithril FE/B = 5.5 Ruby ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ FL = 63 FE/G = 6 TB = Adamantite FE/B = 6.3 Diamond ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ FL = 65 FE/G = 7 TB = Adamantite FE/B = 7 The number of tips from each of the gems here is 12

Guide to the Wilderness Agility Course
Nice little guide to the area. I do like the inclusion of places to head to to try and get away from PKers. :lol: I presume the axe you take is a low one like bronze that you do not mind losing? If you are taking a self defence weapon, I would say just make sure you have one that has a slash attack giving yourself an extra space in your inventory. Boots of lightness or any other means of keeping your weight down are good as the lower your weight the better your chanses of success on the obstacles. Good place to '3 item', and carry food you do not mind losing - that way if you do get killed there is no great loss. When others are there be carefull where you click so you do not attack them by accident and get skulled.

Atronic92's Shilo gem mining guide [updated 10/30]
Nice little guide. Don't forget that for some people the quickest way to Shilo Village is the gnome glider down to Karamja (south east corner of your map), use the agility shortcut just south west of there, then head west into Shilo. I must say I am surprised you have time to read the forums while doing this. When I go there to stock up on gems, by the time I have mined all the rocks, cut the gems, made some bolt tips and dropped any crushed gemstones - its time to mine the rocks again. Probably not a guide to be picked for AoW, but a nice little player guide to introduce players to mining at Shilo. You could add more detail about various routes to Shilo - dont forget alternative methods - Glory ammy and grapple shortcut, charter ships, fairy rings etc. In order to cut the gems into bolt tips, you need the crafting level to be able to cut the gems. (I think you get fletching experience for cutting them into bolt tips). The exp. you get for cutting the bolt tips is rather small. I believe one of the crew is currently working on cutting enough gems to be able to get accurate information on the exp gained from making bolt tips from each gem type. So if you want to put some work in on gaining this information, I am sure they would appreciate it.

3 ways for fast nat crafting without abyss! *now with times*
I have used all 3 methods and for me quickest seemed to be the glories, followed by rings of dueling and then just running using the bank at zanaris. The method I used for the last 3 RC lvls I got was the glories - so you can tell which I prefer! :wink:

Quick Blast Furnace Question!
Proof you can fit 56 iron ore in there... I actually had more than the 56 iron in there. I took out some steel bars, ran the smelter again without adding more and the bar dispenser was filled again. I did log out and back in again to see if the ones not showing up would be lost, but they seemed to be fine. (Another player was using the furnace at the time though) Once I got the message telling me I had to take some bars out I could no longer put all the ores on the convayor belt, including coal, but I could put them in one at a time.

Help me! three qeustions here dealing with the max gp...
Fields that they use to accumulate values are probably integer fields and these have a maximum length of 4 bytes. Stepping back a bit̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ Computers work in binary so can accept a value of 0 or 1. Each character you see is a byte and these are made up of 8 bits so the number 8 you see on your screen is 00001000 in binary which is represented as 38 in Hexadecimal (I am talking ASCII characters here not EBCIDIC). So back to our integer field ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ this has a maximum value of 4,294,967,295 shown as FFFF FFFF in hexadecimal or 11111111111111111111111111111111 in binary. This maximum value is unsigned i.e. we do not know if it is a + or a minus. In order to get around this the high order bit (that is the 1 at the far left), is designated as the one that will determine if the field is positive or negative (0 = + 1 = - ) This means the maximum value that can be stored is halved as now FFFF FFFF represents -2,147,483,647 and 7FFF FFFF is +2,147,483,647. So back to binary and +2,147,483,647 is shown as 01111111111111111111111111111111. If 1 is added to this we get 10000000000000000000000000000000. As the high order bit has been switched and we are treating the field as signed the value is not +2,147,483,648 it is ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ1 (could be ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ0,been a while since I played with this but you get my point). Here ends lesson 101 in computing ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ and I think you will find the answers to all 3 questions contained in there. :wink:

Quick Blast Furnace Question!
Sorry. I kinda assumed people would realise I meant 28 ores at a time and run it through the smelting process. Was not aware that if you put 28 ores in and ran them through you were unable to put another 28 in. (ie you had to be 1 bar short of a full load in order to be able to add more ore). Will have to try this out and correct the guide if necessary. If it proves the case, will make sure you get a credit for it.

Help me! three qeustions here dealing with the max gp...
I still say 2.1B :D Roughly half of 4,294,967,295, which is 11111111111111111111111111111111 in binary. :lol: 2,147 mil (2,147,483,647) 7F FF FF FF in hex And yes - it is that in binary :thumbsup: The next number 80 00 00 00 is minus 1 but any decent coder would have checked and stopped that happening.
