    "OMGSH LOLZ LIEK ONCE I GAVE THIS GUY SOME 32432 MIL AND HE WUZ LIKE 'OH HOLLER BOI."

     

     

     

    Not that it's an accurate gague of the quality of your post or anything, but this line totally made me LOL :lol:

     

     

     

    And at the very least I try to be nice to others. However I do get a slight bit annoyed when people want to be my "friend," so I add them, and the only time they ever initiate a conversation with me is when they're asking me for something. Like today, within 3 hours the same friend wanted me to give him splitbark, tarromin, limpwurts, water-filled vials, ring of wealth, and any bowstrings or flax... sad thing is, I probably would've if I had any of that in my bank, I only had the one ring of wealth I was wearing and I was training combat, and I think I have all of 3 water filled vials left =/

     

     

     

    However, on the flip side, in the past week I've given away about 2k tuna and 1k swordies :lol:

    THATS WHAT IM TRYING TO DO

     

     

     

    i give away free stuff every now and then, ring of wealths, food to people that need it, free antipoisen, etc.

     

     

     

    i just think if i try to be nice, the act of kindess will spread, touching peoples hearts and forcing them to good stuff

     

     

     

    Heh, when I got to 76 fishing the other day, I fished 4 loads of sharks. Then when I got 80 cooking (again, the day after I got 76 fishing) I cooked all of my sharks and walked around Catherby dropping about 100 sharks all over the place saying "free shark"

     

     

     

    I don't know, I guess I just see little things like that as replaceable.

     

     

     

    I probably wouldn't ever give my granite shield away, I'm kind of proud of it as I got it as a drop myself (and its about the best drop I've ever gotten), at least until I replace it with a dragon sq, even then I'll probably keep it just to train with sometimes. But replaceable things that I can make or cook or have more than one of etc. I'm really not too protective of and I'm usually pretty nice and will give stuff to people pretty freely.

     

     

     

    For example, while I was on my fishing/cooking binge in catherby a guy was new to farming, asking what he should do and so on.

     

     

     

    I gave him a brief walkthrough and gave him seeds to get him up to lvl 20 farming or so, about 100 of most of the allotment seeds because hey, when am I going to really grow potatoes or onions again? I also gave him some guam seeds, marrentill seeds and all of the flowers up to nasturtiams for him to grow, for nothing. This is with a bank that's probably worth a total of about 5m or so, but most of it is one-of items that I wear (glory, d med, very proud of my full black mystic!) or components that are waiting to become xp (such as the herbs I have sitting around that I've been farming in the off season).

     

     

     

    I suppose that if I had a bank worth 100m or 200m or something like that yeah, I'd probably more freely give other things away as they're things that I'd just happen to have lying around. If I had crafting 80 and stockpiled dragonstones, is it really going to kill my runescapian financial standing to give away a glory to some lvl 42 kid who just got membership and has no idea what's what and can't afford one?

     

     

     

    Most of the people on my friends list are there because I help them. We talk to each other about what we're doing and give them advice, sure.. but most of my list is comprised of lower levels (or, in a few cases higher levels who just happen to be much younger people) who always ask me what things are worth, if this trade is a good deal, and so on, and I help them out as much as I can.

     

     

     

    I guess what I'm saying in this (still haven't slept) rambling is that, not necessarily that people should be, but its nice when people are more free with their lower level, financially speaking, items. A f2p pker bought 1k lobsters off of me the other day for 200k, and I asked him why he didn't use swordies instead, he told me that he "couldn't really afford them yet," so I gave him 50 free swordfish. Heck, it's not like its going to kill my bank account, I have 2k of them sitting around as is from raising my fishing and cooking.

     

     

     

    Uhhhh, I need to stop typing at some point, don't I?

     

     

     

    Alright, uhm... the moral of the story is be nice, ok? (ok I really go to sleep now kthnxbyebbqlightbulb)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    EDIT: Mmmm, Bar-B-Q Light Bulb.... sleep for real now

    But dont you remember the name and combat level of the unknown friend? :P

     

    I am sure if you could say atleast the begging of the name and combat, someone in these forums may recongize him.

     

     

     

    Of course I remember, and I'm leaving their name open on the hiscores page in case I run into them again so I can repay the kindness (so that I remember). Out of their privacy however I decided it'd probably best not to say who they were however because giving out that kind of information on a public forum (that so-and-so gave me 400-600k worth of free stuff) would probably inevitably lead to this person running into bunches of random people at times in game going "free stuff pl0x!," sad but true... so I can't, really. I would post this on the official forums too, but I like to be very verbose and they have post length limits :cry:

    The video can be found in 6 parts in the main post of the thread titled "Guide to doing the fight caves w/o guthan" or something very similar, it's been on the front page of this very forum for what seems like weeks+++

    That was a good day for you. Sometimes, people will be nice, and give you something for free. The nice people make the game more fun. If I'm in a good mood, I sometimes will give things away for free myself.

     

     

     

    Well, yes. The thing is, this was 400-600k worth of what tends to be even amongst relatively high level characters a valuable, useful, and difficult to obtain resource.

    Alright, so I'm horribly sleep deprived due to being in pain as I just had two wisdom teeth removed a week ago, and my prescription has run out. So I decide to hop on runescape for a little while before I take another stab at sleep.

     

     

     

    You need to understand, I'm grumpy, cranky, and just generally in a bad mood overall. I'm on about 2 days with just as many hours sleep.

     

     

     

    So I go to the fishing guild to make use of my newly earned 76 fishing and 81 cooking while looking for some high level herblorists who will make me 40 sara brews for my inevitable suicidal series of fire cape runs (combat level 77, I refuse to hit 80 without a fire cape to my name).

     

     

     

    I almost immediately find someone who trades me the brews, no problem. So I ask the same person if he has any range potions or super restores for sale, he tells me that he has tons of range pots but no super restores. He agrees to sell me 40 range potions for 130k, and I'm relatively happy about this. I say something along the lines of "Aww, no one has super restores =("

     

     

     

    An unnamed yet not "famous" relatively high level character says, "I think I might have some," and walks off, all while me and the other guy are still talking prices for the range pots (I'm lagging on dial-up as I'm downloading the last of Muggi's wonderful Fire Cape guide on video, cheap plug!).

     

     

     

    Before I even get done talking to the other guy the higher level character walks back and trades me, I'm thinking, "awesome, they had some super restores!" They show me 50 four-dose super restores, and simply accept trade. I'm thinking, "What on earth is going on here...," and I go ahead and test it, clicking accept.

     

     

     

    By now any second I'm expecting them to decline the trade, and walk away their flashing wavy bouncing glowy text mocking me as it trails behind them, "lol n00b!"

     

     

     

    This person accepts the second trade window before I do (due to the lag, thanks to the fact that I'm downloading the last of Muggi's awesome video where they totally pwn the 702, second shameless plug!), and I wait a few long seconds, thinking that perhaps they accidentally clicked "accept" instead of "decline" or something of that nature.

     

     

     

    It doesn't happen.

     

     

     

    Trade window stays up.

     

     

     

    With shaky hands I tentatively, carefully, maneuver my mouse to position itself over the "accept" button, and with focused and deliberate mind, click.

     

     

     

    The high level character turns and walks away as I sit there and look at the 50 four dose super restore potions in my inventory. I manage to eek out something:

     

     

     

    "Umm"

     

     

     

    "Wow"

     

     

     

    "Thanks"

     

     

     

    I decide to go back to my bank to see what I could possibly repay this person with for their random act of kindness, and manage to find some higher level herbs and seeds that are worth a bit but that I'm not going to have any real use for in the forseeable future. I figure that the person is still over there fishing sharks.

     

     

     

    Of course, they're not. And I'm left there, with 50 free four-dose super restores (for use to get that FIRE CAPE for which I will be using the tactics in Muggi's utterly and superbly AWESOME guide, plug number three!) to my name, giving nothing in return, nor even given the chance to.

     

     

     

    Its things like this, amongst a sea of spammers, scammers, lurers, password stealers, keyloggers and downright jerks, that remind of how how great some of the PLAYERS really can make this game. Jagex made this game, they make the pixels and plots, but we as the players get to decide how its implemented, used, and determine the environment of the game.

     

     

     

    I'd just like to thank a mysterious disappearing stranger, and everyone like you who just goes a little bit further (though generally not quite this far) to help others, give advice, and overall make the game a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Thanks.

     

     

     

    And if you happen to be out there somewhere browsing these forums, I'd still like to have the chance to give you something in return, even if it isn't much.

    "Rare" Items

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have seen all of the things listed here, as well as the actual "rares" in game, barring one. I've YET to see someone wearing or selling/trading full infinity. I've been playing for a year or so and been a member for a little over a month, and am fairly convinced that that's just about the rarest item in the game.

     

     

     

    Oh, granite legs, which a lot of people have said? Got it as a drop on a troll slayer assignment about 2 weeks in and wore them for about a week. :lol:

    Hill Giants in the Edgy dungeon for Ranged all the way. There are a few places there where you can fire and they can't get at you. Also, their drops are pretty good for f2p. In a trip to the Edgy dungeon it's common for me to come back with something like 10-15 nats, 2-4 laws, 2-4 deaths, 2k gp, a random gem, and plenty of big bones and limps if you want them. It just tends to be more profitable killing giants. They also drop steel arrows (10) and iron arrows (3).

    Simply put, if you started out on f2p, what should you have before you go ahead and sign up for the full version of Runescape? What skills, what quests should you have done, are there certain items that you should have stockpiled, how much cash should you have, etc.?

     

     

     

    Edit:

     

    Here's where I am currently -

    The bogus �¢â�¬��economy�¢â�¬�

    The problem is, most of the rares and collectables, such as Rembrants in the real world, are relatively price-locked in their market worth. It isn't (barring some exceptions) very profitable to simply buy and sell collectables. Whereas, in Runescape, for those of the upper eschelon of the economy, it is relatively easy to make millions in profit within a day or two by buying and reselling rares, making rare merchanting the most time-efficiently profitable way of increasing upon wealth.
