We already have a thread for this, feel free to continue the discussion there: The Official 2009 April Fools Day Thread :)

From the staff's interpretation of the rules, you are allowed to MENTION fan sites in game. The only thing you're not allowed to do is ADVERTISE them. By that I mean, you can't run around shouting, "Visit Tip.it for game guides and skill calculators! Register on the forums today!" But you can casually chat about it and suggest the site if someone is looking for help. This is true ;)

Do you have Summer Time/DST is in effect: set correctly? Under Board Preferences.

I wouldn't have a problem with a sticky. It would be nice to have all of the signature and avatar information in one place. However, on the other hand, we do already have a TON of stickies in that forum, many of which do contain signature and avatar information. There is an entire section in the Tip.it Forum Rules that discusses signature and avatar sizes and what kind of content is allowed and disallowed. But again, if no one has a problem with the huge amount of stickies in the Announcements forum, I wouldn't mind creating a new sticky dedicated to signatures and avatars.

Please use the above thread to discuss this :) Thanks!

Really nice job! Cute scene, wonderful mood and great colours. I like the little lights :) But I do think it's good that you took away the big one in V2. Great job, I'd love to see more work like this!

That's all fine and dandy, but that doesn't take away from the fact how easy getting those ess is. You seriously can be doing homework or not even looking and still get over 1k ess in like 45 mins, easy. I got 10k nature runes in a day and a half, barely even using pouches. So, is runecrafting very time consuming? Of course, no argument against that. I still say smithing for the normal player, just because it's the only skill I know of that at 99 you can literally make billions upon billions. Rcing takes thousands of one thing to make a great profit. 10k nature runes is roughly 2 mill, not very good lol. Wait I'm confused... First of all, the question is "What 99 takes the longest to accomplish." So if you say that runecrafting is time-consuming, then wouldn't runecrafting be your answer? Because time consuming skills usually take the longest to accomplish? And are you saying that at 99 smithing you can make billions upon billions of gp? Because if you are, that is certainly not true. Runecrafting is like 50x more profitable than smithing.

Excuse me for asking, but what is DOF? I'm still learning. Also, is there a way to change my camera's settings so I can manually control the exposure? I might try panoramic photography, and people keep mentioning that this is one of the things I need to have control of when shooting. I'm using a Canon 450D if anyone needs to know that : Depth of Field. There will definitely be a way on your camera to change the eposure. Use your manual. MrShinyredplanet got it right ;) And you definitely want to read your manual back to front at least 50 times, and don't lose it!!! Even months from now when you think you know everything, you still want to have it. There are several ways to manually control the exposure, such as: shooting in "manual" mode, and then there's also exposure compensation. Look those up in your manual and read read read :)

I believe it took me two weeks to get to 99 from level 80. I was playing pretty obsessively, but it got mind-numbingly boring towards the end so I may have slacked a little bit. So I'd say 3 weeks.

The fastest method would be to stick with red salamanders. I'm not sure about the exact number of xp per hour though. The slower (because the slowest would be doing something stupid from lower levels) method would be to start on red chins at level 63. They are slower xp but you will be able to sell the chins for money. Gandalf14141 beat me :P

Hmmm... music... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'll sleep on it :P Glad to see another one of these contests! :thumbsup: We should have them more often.

Yayyayayaya more photography!! I love the first two. They're simple, but still have a certain elegance. I think the third could have used a larger DOF and maybe a different angle. Nice stuff - keep it coming! :thumbsup:

It's actually labeled as a G-rated forum :P But close enough.

Not quite sure what you're asking here. Do you mean can you wear the specific hunter gear and then equip like a glory ammy and regular boots and a cape or something? I'm pretty sure that won't affect the bonuses from the clothing, if that's what you mean. What is your priority? Maximum experience or decent experience and maximum money-making? Because if you want faster experience, stick with red salamanders until 80 or so and then switch to red chins.

When done correctly, you don't literally sit and wait for your plants to grow. You plant your trees, herbs, etc., and then do other things while you get xp with little effort. So even though farming does take at least a few months to get 99, it's not so bad because you can do other skills while training it. How does mining 1,448,271 essence sound to you? :P And then making 1,448,271 nature runes after that? That's like 40,000 loads of runes and over 500 hours of runecrafting. It took me one month to get 99 smithing. I've been runecrafting for three years and I'm still only level 95.

But when you put it that way: Runecrafting is going back and forth and back and forth (bank to alter, bank to alter). Unless you use ZMI, it's like 25k xp per hour max Prayer USED to be *make 100m* then *click click click click click click click* and now it's *make 100m* and then *AFK* Farming is easy. But the poll isn't asking what the hardest skill is, but which one takes the LONGEST. I still don't think that farming takes the longest, but it still takes at least a few months, and there are very few ways to speed up the process. I think mining is even more repetitive than agility. Sure with agility you're going around in circles and clicking the same obstacles.. but with mining it's *click rock* *click other rock* *click rock* *click other rock* etc. etc. then *drop ore, drop ore, drop ore, drop ore* and rinse and repeat. It's very tedious and slower xp per hour than agility, I believe. Also a lot of what you said are just your opinions. You said that slayer is boring, but there are thousands of people who love and enjoy it. You think that runecrafting is fun, but some people hate runecrafting the way that you hate agility.

I voted runecrafting. When you only look at xp per hour, runecrafting and slayer are pretty much neck and neck. The reason why I chose runecrafting over slayer is because slayer is AFKable, which doesn't make it as boring, in my opinion. If you have other things to do (like reading forums, browsing other sites, doing something in another computer application, etc.), then you can just AFK through slayer all day and hardly notice what you're doing. It's still slow, but it's more tolerable in that sense. With runecrafting, you have to constantly be paying attention to what you're doing because you're always running back and forth, back and forth. So even though the xp per hour may be the same, I think runecrafting is more tedious.

Its removing the "hard" part of prayer.....I HATED training prayer....This made the achievement of getting a level far more satisfying....Once I get 96 summoning (got it banked), I will be able to afk train prayer.... I disagree. The "hard" part of training prayer has always been, and is still, earning the 100m+. The excessive clicking was extremely tedious though, and left my wrist cramped. But I still think that making the money to afford 99 prayer was harder. I'm glad for the update. I got to 91 prayer without "burn x" and the clicking drove me crazy. I don't even remember 99 fletching begin that hard (without "fletch x").

:o I'll make him get 80 hunter 8-) Congrats on the levels!! You should have zoomed in on my new haircut though :( And the amount of charms you have is absolutely insane!

Haha :lol: Thank you! Hehe well being able to double them does help :oops: Oohh very nice! I'm jealous :P Haha well sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can't. The amount of money I make is nice motivation though :P Thanks!! :oops: :oops: When will the " x's" end!!??!!? I guess it depends on how much slower it is. Doing it one at a time was so boring that I rarely was able to keep up full speed anyway. But I don't know, I'll have to try it out sometime :P ---------------------------- Sorry for the lack of updates recently! I haven't really been on RuneScape like at all. I've just been so exhausted and busy. I might get some slayer done this weekend. Well I hopefully will :P

999134fishy it is not up to you to decide who is allowed to visit your thread or not. Compfreak847 is more than welcome to post constructive criticism. As long as he is not violating any of the Tip.it Forum Rules, and is just trying to help improve your guide, he is welcome to post. The posts were removed because it was turning into an argument and was driving the thread off-topic. Not because they were "stupid and without proof." Compfreak is welcome to keep posting comments, but if 999134fishy doesn't want to update his guide accordingly, then I think it would be best to just drop this. At the end of the day, it is 999134fishy's decision as to whether or not he wants to update the guide or not with compfreak's information. But either way, the spamming and flaming ends here.

In my experience, the person getting the achievement is usually the one who does the "giving." Like rsautohater alluded to, many people host drop parties at their level 99 party. So it's really them giving to the guests. But like another user said, there aren't any guidelines or qualifications for hosting a party. It's really up to the host.

Welcome back you guys! :thumbsup: I'm sure you'll both be a huge help to the team :) Thanks for volunteering your time!
