Tip.It have also changed their stance regarding SwiftSwitch and you are able to discuss the software here. Screenshots that include SS will also no longer be removed - though it is requested that users continue to crop as much as possible in order to preserve the formatting of the boards. Regarding the security of SS it is widely considered to be safe and many players use it. However, as a previous poster highlighted, no 3rd party software is endorsed by Jagex and their advice is not to use them. Since the new change to rule 7 made yesterday, the current version of SS (2.41) is outside of the guidance given by Jagex (i.e. Not legal) - at least to my understanding of the rules. The reason for this is as it links directly to the world select and players do not need to navigate through the runescape.com pages. I'm sure that the author of the software will work to ensure that SS complies with this new rule ASAP, in the same way that he did when the same rule was updated in January.

For someone at college, you sure do type like a 12 year old to me. You are not going to get a diploma if you can't pass English. By paying your 5 bucks a month, you are not a stockholder in Jagex. You are simply paying for services rendered. They owe you nothing. They actually make FAR more money from ad revenue than from subscriptions. And a few hundred (ok, let's make it extreme...few thousand) people quitting is hardly going to make a dent in their revenue. Especially now that they are banning dynamic signatures and getting millions back in lost revenue. PS: I know business management skills, too! Sorry Barihawk, but where do you get that information from? It's way of the mark. Membership subscriptions contribute far more to Jagex's revenue than the money received from ads.* *Source: Jagex accounts filed with companies house UK

Good luck! and remember that at level 75 runecrafting you can carry an extra 11 ess (giant pouch), so you won't need to make quite so many runs :)

I find it quite intriguing that Jagex refuse to acknowledge let alone endorse fan sites until such times as a poll held on tip.it works to their advantage! edit: dang beaten to it by wakka by seconds :wink:

These threads always amaze me... There is no "secret" way of suddenly earning buckets of cash, unless you're absurdly lucky with drops or treasure trails (i.e. 3rd age armour). If you want a regular high level income you're going to have to work at it. The best cash in the game is widely accepted to be double nat crafting at level 91. At top speed this would earn you about 1.2mil an hour (minus cost of ess). I don't know many people who can maintain 2k ess (4k nats at 91) an hour over an extended duration though.. High level fletching is another good source of income, though I couldn't tell you how much per hour as I don't fletch that often. With your skills you're not going to make anywhere near that sort of money (sorry). You have mentioned your combat skills though, so maybe barrows is an option for you, there is no set amount per hour for this though as it varies according to your luck with the drops. My advice would be to find something that YOU enjoy doing, if runecrafting isn't for you then pick a skill that you enjoy training and the money will come in naturally (unless of course you opt for construction!) If you're adamant you want to earn huge amounts of cash, you could always try your hand at merchanting but you won't get xp for that and it's by no means an easy option.

The problem is guys, that even *if* you do achieve this it'll take you years - something that you've acknowledged already. It'll take almost as much commitment just to keep this thread alive for that long. If you want more constructive comment and support from the majority of the community you should post goals that are more short-term. If you had 15 99's and were going for 2 more, everyone would be behind you, complimenting you and encouraging you. Personally I'd also suggest taking more notice of comments from veterans like wakka, not because he's more important than you, but simply because he has been there and done it. It's relatively easy to say "yes I know it's going to be hard" but until you've experienced it you really have no clue just *how* hard. I'll wish you good luck, simply because you'll need it.

I understand the "won't" by why the "cannot"?

lol. Honestly no idea what it'll be... I hope it's the blood altar and I've nearly managed to convince myself it will be, but for all I know it could be the ability to turn cowhides into life runes :D

Then you didn't read my post in full :wink:

Personally I've got plenty to be getting on with, without a new skill (which I would obviously feel compelled to train immediately lol). I suspect that Jagex can develop skills faster than I can get mine to 99 though so I'm sure it won't be too long before we see a new skill. I'd go along with the list of skills that Harrington listed as likely additions.. Summoning/Necromancy Pet raising/husbandry Not sure about tailoring though!! Edit: I'd also agree with the majority of posters on this thread and say that I'd prefer to see additions to existing skills prior to releasing any new ones

Yes there is.. In between fire and cosmic rifts... As Freesia said, there is a blood spot in the abyss, which means that crafting bloods will be no more difficult than crafting nats...

Nice to see someone looking at other possible impacts other than the price of blood runes going down. Here are my thoughts for what they're worth :wink: Level to craft blood runes = 77. This is already set and a message is displayed on level up to say that members can now craft blood runes. There are currently less than 5,000 players who have the necessary level requirement to craft bloods. Additionally, there are 850 players who are lvl 91+, it's fair to assume that those people will continue to craft double nats since even on current prices it's more worthwhile (550ea blood, 300-330ea nat x 2 = 600-660 per ess). Therefore the number of people who will potentially decide to craft bloods is circa 4,000. A further consideration is novelty value - runecrafters of level 91+ will probably choose to craft some bloods simply because they can. Others within this bracket may choose to craft because the xp is likely to be greater (if Jagex follow the existing format xp per blood should be 10.5xp per ess crafted). With all of that said, it is still unquestionable that supply of bloods will go up, ergo, price will drop. However, as the price drops it is likely that player demand will begin to go up, since the ancient mage spells requiring bloods are good xp as well as effective spells in pvp. Personally, I expect the price of bloods to settle at around 400-450ea, the higher price (comparative to nats and laws) is reflective of the limited number of players who can craft. Back to the topic of pure ess prices... Will the demand go up? Well, maybe. Though perhaps not for the reason that the author suggests. A lot of high level runecrafters already buy stacks of ess, sure there might be a short-term surge in demand from those who are level 77+ and want to cash in on crafting bloods, but again, the number of people of this level is relatively small (comparative to player base and available supply of pure ess). What may impact the price more, is the players who are below level 77 - of which there are significantly more! The ability to craft bloods may be a decent incentive for these players to increase their runecrafting level, which in turn has the potential to impact demand for pure ess to a much greater extent. Obviously though, as a previous poster has suggested, should the price of pure ess go too high, people will see mining their own as a viable alternative (I however, will not be one of them!!). All of this is clearly speculative and based around the 'possibility' that Jagex will finally release the blood altar!

Thanks for all the help guys, in the end i just got a friend to meet me at the spot where i logged out and trade me an anti poison since i wouldn't have had time to put in my bank pin. I'd like to find out the definitive answer to the house tele question though!

problem is that if you leave your house with stuff on the floor, the stuff disappears...

I'm tempted to try this out to get a definitive answer lol

arrghh lol, which one is correct?

ah okies thanks, so i'd have to race to combat ring *and* get killed by a player in my house?

I'm currently poisoned and on very low hp.. I've got some house tele tabs on me, but anyone know whether if i tele to house nearly dead and die in house whether normal house rules apply for dying? i.e. will i keep all my stuff? Ta

air crafting is all you can really do to start off with.. Happily it's one of the closest altars to the bank. If money is really of no concern i'd suggest hiring runners (world 16 air company good for this) and flying thru the levels

^ That would actually increase the supply of robin sets and hence reduce the price.. NOT increase it as you seem to suggest...

Abyss ftw! I don't think i've ever been to the death altar without accessing through the abyss.

Nice work, some surprises in there. Only one other observation... surely you mean GMT not EST? it's only 17:00 EST now!

Blood runecrafting is at lvl 77: Blood runecrafting please :pray: Although, as a second choice a gargantuan pouch would be pretty decent! edit: tags

KBD heads which I haven't (quite) got the construction lvl to mount :oops:
