This sums up a lot of what I could say. Ending F2P would just make them start more on P2P. I'm sure they could make their $5 a month back, so they would find it worthwhile. How long before we have tons of pure ess macroers? The only forseeable end is for people to stop buying gp. I mean, its ridiculously stupid anyway. Someone quoted prices being about $8 per mil. Who would pay $1600 for a blue party hat, something which has little use when you get banned for real life trading, if what Jagex say about "dirty money tracking" is true. I don't see why there is even a demand for gp, but this needs drying up. Jagex needs to ban the gp BUYERS, more than the sellers. This would reduce macroing to people who just want gp instead of real life money, probably cutting out 19 out of 20 autoers. Then the problem would be easier to deal with, tracking the money or items made from autoers and banning the peoples "main". The article you linked was an interesting read, people should be made much more aware of this.

There are macroers at these trees, they probably spend 5 minutes on normal trees, 15 minutes on oaks and a day on willows, then the rest of their life on yews. Check almost any F2P willow spot to see macroers, generally less at draynor cos of the wizards and the crowds. You will see the answer to your second question in the huge willow log piles under each macroer, or in lumby general store which will have 30k willow logs. On the original subject, I don't even rate you. Well done you reported 6 autoers. This is quite normal, no need to post about it really. I guess it beats leaving them alone, at least you reported. There is also a sticky in the general forum which should be used for posts concerning autoers. Enjoy your cookie :wink:

If I got a lamp which would raise a skill to 99, I would take prayer no second thoughts. For a skill I actually work on, smithing. With some effort, I think this is obtainable, just takes time (and perhaps money :wink: ) Realistically, my next (first) 99 is gonna be cooking, its so easy and I'm almost halfway there.

http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2381 This is the knowledge base article on capes, has a huge section telling you about team capes, where to get them, and styles and colours. Hope this helps if your choosing a cape.

Click here for alter locations From tip.it runecrafting guide. After a couple of trips you should know the locations. Fastest air route is from fally east bank, out of south gate then walk south-west. Minds is fastest walking through low level wild west from edgeville. Learn the way there, and you won't need to locate.

Yours stats are already a good base to build on. My only suggestions would be to work on runecrafting (44 for nats is a great moneymaker) and prayer. 43 Prayer is useful for anyone, especially as members have much higher lvl monsters, particularly in quests. You will use it a lot more than you would in F2P (I only use for random events.) Get burying! :wink:

I actually disagree with this. Looking at the sig sizes you posted for other forums, I am quite happy with our sig size here. A huge sig takes attention away from what you actually posted, which is what the forums are for. Definitely no need to make it any taller, perhaps a little wider wouldn't be too much problem, if people really want.

Totally agree. I would rather gain respect among players for my integrity, helpfulness, and generally being friendly, than for being ultra-rich. A lot of people on my homeworld know me, though I don't remember who they all are sometimes, sure I have a fairly decent bank, but that shouldn't be where I get my respect.

Maybe the yews east of varrock around the earth alter and pub. I was walking by recently, and there were NO AUTOERS. Shame I don't keep woodcuting axes, I would have cut some.

1. Something for better prayer xp. 2. More F2P mods. 3. Well I have to say bank space, I'm often full. 4. Coloured boots. 5. A shop which sells balls of wool.

Seeing as it was probably me who brought this thing up on these forums, giving ppl runecrafting advice in the last couple of days, I'll try and clarify a few things. Crafters: There are two types. Crafters in BLACK robes(priest, shade, ghostly etc.) give 25 noted ess and 2500gp for 25 unnoted ess. Crafters in BLUE robes(wizard) give 25 noted ess and 125 airs. This is the same value, with airs at 20gp each. This is theoretical, some crafters don't actually wear the robes, but it does help to identify. Crafters must wear an air tiara, bring noted ess and cash. Bring extra airs if you want to give airs but have runecrafting under lvl 44. Runners: Just bring 25 unnoted ess to the alter. Trade someone in blue robes for airs or black for cash. There are often people there offering less than 2.5k. These are NOT part of the company, they just take advantage of it. This is looked down upon. To craft, you are supposed to apply on the official forums, if you can find their thread, nonmembers are supposed to get a member friend to apply. However, I never applied, I just went and crafted one day, a bit spontaneously. Spent 4 hours, 17k ess and 1.7mil cash, and got runecrafting from 56 to 60. Ended up with just over 100k airs to sell. If you buy ess 20gp each, and sell airs 20gp each, you break even at lvl 55 runecrafting, and start profiting at lvl 66. Runners just turn up. If you don't have any ess, some crafters may offer you 25 starter ess, then you should run for that crafter. Some crafters also offer level bonuses, but they are not obliged to do so. The differences between law and air company crafting: It will take longer to get to 91 with air runes. The founder put some numbers on the forums, I think it was around 240 hours with laws, 280 with airs. You make money with airs. If you use this from lvl 54, you would have made 20mil+ by the time you get to 91. Laws will cost you 20mil in ess. So 40mil difference in 40 extra hours or so. Don't quote me on these figures. This company is the fastest F2P runecrafting xp, I'm quite sure. When I was there, runners were too many for crafters, I was constantly trading. Its around 20k xp an hour. Hope this was helpful, if you still want to know more, try and find the official forums thread.

Almost certainly trying to scam. You keep member items forever, until you drop them. You should consider selling things if you don't plan on coming back, they are useless once you lose membership. If you became member next year, you could still have the same stuff. You should really look into sorting out your bank though, or you end up dropping most of your stuff. But don't trust this guy anymore, he's trying to take advantage of you.

About the world 16 company. Firstly you should know that every 1k ess you craft will cost you 100k cash for runners, this might put you off. You keep the airs you make. You should wear black robes and an air tiara, and bring money and noted ess. People trade you 25 ess, you give them 25 noted ess and 2.5k cash. Craft airs and repeat. Theres not really a need to officially apply, I just turned up and they only had 1 guy crafting, so I did it for a few hours, got from lvl 56 to 60. There are often people using the runners and paying 2k or less, which is looked down upon, but you cant do anything about it. The choice really is whether you want to pay 100k minus the airs selling price, for every 5k xp. I really can't tell you whats fastest if you want to just run yourself, I make airs as they are easy to sell and make the most profit. I don't want to be stuck with 1000s of budy runes. Its between airs fire and body though.

I miss dying within 10 minutes of getting off tutorial island and losing all my valuable stuff (tinderbox, bronze axe and pick, net etc.) and making a new character because I wanted it back. Miss finishing cooks assistant after half an hour of asking people how to get eggs flour and milk, then realising my cooking was getting way ahead of my other skills (lvl 5). 600xp was a big reward then. Yep also miss lvling more than once a day. Or even actually lvling each day. I really miss being able to cut yews without any macroers. There were times when real people cut yews with me. Now retired from yew cutting. I miss the joy of getting my first 100k from ess merchanting, seeing that letter k was fun, made me feel ultra rich, expecially after losing 60k when I went unknowingly into the wild.

Has to be santa for me. Saved for ages to get it, never gonna sell probably.

Not sure on what is faster xp, I never tried fires with the shop, but I don't think its much better. I have made airs for almost all of my 60 runecraft levels I think, can do at least 30 trips an hour. The fastest xp though, is with runners. I used the world 16 air crafting company, paying 2.5k per trip for runners. This is a money lost process until lvl 55 probably, when you make 6x airs, but you get around 20k xp an hour instead of 4-5k soloing.

You can train range with cannon or in the range guild thing. Magic just do imp catcher or witches potion and use weaken, curse, tele, alch etc. Melee is the tough one, its possible (but insanely difficult) to reach lvl 39 attack from member quests without increasing hits. Then a couple of genie lamps will tip you over to 40. You can also reach about 32 strength I think with quests. All this with 1 defence and 10 hits. I saw this in a thread in rate this forums, post a link soon, its got a pic and stuff. edit:heres the link:http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=419340 Think pest control rewards can raise too, but you raise hp by fighting during the game. 9 Hits is from RSC.

Try using the search function and putting your name in the author box. Then look through the posts you have made. It may just have fallen down a couple of pages

Try the quest guide on the main site. http://tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2quest_id=22 Your question isnt very specific, and you should consider using more helpful thread titles, so people can see what you actually need help with.

This is my favourit outfit. (F2P) Zammy Platebody Zammy Legs Zammy Kite Santa Hat Jester Scarf Fire Staff Mime Gloves. The bit which took longest to get were the mime gloves. I normally wear it when I'm standing around buying stuff or not doing lot. I generally wear full monk, power ammy and r2h when skilling.

I'm making an educated guess. I think this is from the prison pete random event. Not 100%, I'm not in game to check if I have it from when I had the event. Also I play on low detail, so I'm not the best advisor. If you've never had this random event, then I'd guess this is it.

There might be a nat company on world 91. Its run by people with over 91 rc. Check the official runescape forums for this, but I think its right. Never used it as I'm F2P, but my memory is ok :D See post above for 1&2

Superheating mostly. High lvl smiths often superheat the bars instead of using the furnace. Almost no one smelts rune in the furnace, you can only make 3 bars per trip. I use superheat for mith and addy bars, furnace only for steel. Also used for high alching products, generally steel platebodies for 1.2k each

I've been making airs for almost all my xp, because I can actually sell them. Bodys are faster xp now, as the fence has gone by the alter. Fastest method: mentioned already, its the air crafting company. Its on world 16 if you don't know, just stand in the alter and give people 25 noted ess and 2.5k cash for 25 unnoted. You need a tiara not a talisman, a bunch of noted ess and cash. I got lvl 56 to 60 in 4 hours here, 85k xp and i used 17k ess and 1.7mil cash. Though I got 100k airs. This is a big big money loss at your runecraft lvl, but you could get lvl 44 in 2 hours.

The animations are different. High alch flashes 3 times, low alch once. Can't really explain better. You could just try it out ingame. Low alch basically gets the general store price I think, high alch gets the specific shop price, assuming they're both out of stock that is. High alch is 50% more cash, theres no reason to low alch at all, same number of runes (1 nature) when you have a fire staff.
