Ixpren

Well, I just got him for the 5th time, so now I have full zombie. From what I understand if you get him again you just get 500gp. If you ever lose any of the clothes, you get them back in original order when you get him again.

Well, I just got him again, this time from bones I collect from the cow fields, so that answers that. And it is also strange how I spent thousands of bones without getting him and now I got him twice in one hour!

I'd also like to mention that the bones that triggered him were bones from my own kill, so thus far I have not seen him come from bones I found and buried. Please, someone refute this if possible, if you've definitely gotten Leo from bones you simply picked up. Because this will be more encouraging, and I can revert to running around the cow yard picking them up instead of bothering with Goblins.

YAYYY!!! I finally got Leo for the third stage just now. So now I have my mask too.

I'll also mention, parenthetically, that I have gotten "BRAINNSSSS" Zombie and "Leave This Place!" Shade about 5 times each since I have been trying to trigger Leo.

As I had described in another post, I got Leo and kept the first set. Then I pointedly decided "ok, I want to get him again" and so I started killing goblins and burying bones... literally within about 1/2 hour, he shows up and I got my second set. Since then, however, I think I've buried several thousand bones, as I said in my other post, my prayer has leveled from around 37 or 38 - I don't quite remember - all the way to 42 thus far. I've tried 3 basic ways of doing this: Killing zombies and skellies down under the Draynor tunnel (this is how I got him the first time), killing goblins up in the goblin village (quicker kills = more bones, and I got him the second time there), and third: picking up and burying bones in the cow fields. But I have yet to get him again, so I really don't think it has anything to do with quantity. Or it could be that I've just been extremely unlucky. For example, I'm a level 65 playing for several months now, and only a week or so ago did I receive the mime event. I have a tiny theory but someone in the game said it is not so - maybe I'll throw it out here and see what y'all think: my theory is that Leo only shows up when you bury bones that are from your own kill - meaning, running around picking up bones and burying them won't do it, you have to bury bones from your own kill. Any thoughts or evidence to the contrary are welcome please. Anyway, it is kind of frustrating, but 2 very good things are happening: my prayer level is going way up, and I am also leveling my fighting skills. PS - I spent some time up in wildy by the big bones too - no help.

Never mind, just found my answer.

I'm extremely frustrated. The first time I got this event, I was a total dumb%$%% I threw the stuff away after, not knowing what the heck it was for. BIG mistake I regret now. Ok so ever since, I have gotten the event twice more, so now I have the shirt, trousers, gloves and boots. I eagerly await another time. However, what do y'all think of this: After the idiotic thing I did, the next time I got the event, I had already learned about what the things are so I had already decided I was going to keep the stuff. Ok so I get the event, then I go crazy burying bones - I must have buried a few hundred and I got the event again. But since then, I've leveled from prayer 38 to 42 without getting Leo again!! How frustrating! I don't know the actual numbers but I have to have buried several thousand bones already!! I hardly did any big bones, only this morning but for naught. Oh well, I guess the desire for this event is a good way to get people to up their prayer :wink:

Some players would probably be wrong :roll:

Um, I'm going to ask a dumb question: Are clues/treasure trails only members? I can't find a definitive statement on this in any FAQs, but I've never ever gotten a clue (nor do I have one, perhaps ;)

Thanks for such a detailed reply! Ok first, yes one of the first things I did was install the latest Morgan Stream Switcher. I figured, like you did, that although I cannot imagine what RS would need from it, maybe mine is corrupt, incomplete or out of date. But installing the latest MSS didn't help. Interesting adea about the ads, that it could be the adblock plugin itself. But unfortunately it has happened from within the RS client too! I didn't mean to imply the Firefox per se was what I had a problem with, just the fact that the backspace has a dangerous nature when you are typing within a game. About the host blocking, I will try that. As per a previous post I mentioned that as of now I'm ok with using the RS client in low-detail mode. I actually got a popup ad from it, though, which really ticked me off. Micro$oft CLAIMS to have made a decent popup blocker, but it just isn't true; one of their greatest business tactics is, pardon the expression, pimping out all users of IE to adverts. Websites know that their ads will be seen more often with IE, so they code strictly for IE. You see Firefox is an end-user's friend, but a web-advertisers enemy. Invert that statement for IE. Anyway, like I said, thanks for the info, you definitely addressed them in a very good manner. I am ok now using the RS client, and a bit more tweaking should get rid of the popup ads. They only show up once in a while anyway. Peace, all.

Well well, it seems that sound is disabled in low-detail mode. I never knew that. Ok so now I've worked around the audio problem, basically by having no audio, but weird thing is I still had the issue with having to click the game occasionally to get focus back. I haven't been booted though, and hopefully won't but I'm going to just test it next time I lose focus on the game, I will hit backspace and see if it throws me back to main menu. I am using the stand-alone client, and I reduced my screen res to 800x600. Finally, I scroll the game console slightly so I am left with a perfect full-screen game with no ads visible.

I have not, but I cannot imagine anything whatsoever that such an attempt would do for either problem. Technically there is nothing about the detail quality of the applet that would change the CODEC it uses for audio, nor the way Firefox responds to advertisements loading in other frames. Just for kicks, I'll try it anyway.

This can't be good!

Yes I have. And of course, since all it does is wrap IE, I get the same Morgan Stream Switcher crash as within IE.

Lowering the acceleration of your graphics card is only used as a troubleshooting measure. There is no way that this will IMPROVE anything you do. Most likely someone had a problem when making a pk video and managed to solve that problem with this procedure, but it's not supposed to be necessary to cripple your graphics. Unless making a video of the RS client is specifically problematic.

After an enormous amount of searching, chatting and posting, it seems I'm the only one on the entire planet with this problem. Now I'm looking for advice from anyone off-planet :wink: In IE, Runescape crashes about every 10 minutes, if I'm lucky it lasts THAT long. The crash report from Micro$oft says it is due to a problem with "Morgan Stream Switcher" and that I should contact Morgan Multimedia. Well, I looked into their site, it is apparently an audio component, not sure if it would be classified CODEC or driver or what, but it is described as something that can instantly switch between multiple audio streams, and they cite the example: such as multiple languages. This same problem is happening on two separate computers with totally different hardware - my desktop PC and also my notebook computer. The only commonality I can find that would have anything to do with Audio, and likely, stream switcher, is the fact that I have a ton of DivX CODECs on both, including things like ffdshow, AC3 audio, xVid, etc. Perhaps something in there is responsible. Over to Firefox: naturally there's no audio in FF, everyone already knows about that. However, firefox is doing two things that are really ticking me off: 1) every so often, not nearly as often as IE, but every couple of days, FF will crash in RS. 2) Whenever an ad manages to get through FF's Adblock plugin, it switches the frame focus. This has the following ramifications: If I am using the arrow keys to change POV, it stops responding and I have to click somewhere in the game to get focus back to that frame. If I am having a conversation, and I hit the BACKSPACE key to erase a character (I'm fanatical with spelling), guess what: that's right, the BACKSPACE key is a shortcut to the BACK command. Since the focus has been shifted to a regular web frame, my browser takes me back to the RS main page and I'm dumped from the session!!! This is a nuisance at best when I'm just doing ordinary tasks or chatting, and a nightmare if I am in the middle of a battle. I have not found any solutions, advice, or even anyone who has experienced EITHER of these issues! But I'm left right now with having to decide which severe problems I'd rather live with. Any help at all would be really appreciated. PS - I have emailed both Jagex and Morgan MM about these problems, nobody even so much as responded. Since I emailed them many weeks ago, I think I can reasonably assume they don't give a darn. Please, help! :cry:

I have been playing in Firefox and unfortunately having no sound. It is annoying but since they are supposedly 'working on it' I have been patient. I would not mind using IE, but anytime I try using it, eventually it crashes and the MS technote on the crash type says that it is due to Morgan Stream Switcher. I went to their site, but they have no info on such events. I decided to try being proactive about it, so I tried even downloading and installing the latest edition of their CODEC, but it still happens. How can I possibly fix this? Morgan Multimedia has not responded to my inquiry, and I doubt they will. Jagex won't take any tech inquiries from non-members. And forget about Microsoft doing anything about it or even having anything valuable to say. They just point their fingers at someone else. Anyone else experience this behavior, and know how to fix it? Hel please! TY
