Vhellcat

Hello, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m Vhellcat. You may call me Vhell or Hellcat although the latter one confuses me in the presence of hellkitties released by Jagex. :twisted: I am among those that are Keepers of veggies, herbs, trees (farmer) and so called ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åuseless junkÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

These of course aren't all my collections, I do have tons of other seeds and veggies as well as different logs, and most are 'functional' collections which mean I do use them although I keep trying to add more to make up the difference. I do have plans to eat the strange fruit, but the pile keeps growing in the meantime :mrgreen: I've used my bird nests to make the potions. I also don't buy to add to my collections, most of them I've gotten myself through farming/thieving/woodcutting/random events but I have been fortunate that some friends have helped (especially with the burnt monkfish since I can't burn them LoL)

Pack rat. That's me. Go ahead and laugh at my collection of potato seeds among other things. :XD: This picture is a little old, I have over 28k potato seeds, over 1k beer glasses, over 2k burnt monkfish, over 100 strange fruit etc... the only "useless" is the burnt monkfish but they are a personal joy to see with the grins. I pretty much have more of everything except the skulls since I rarely go by that area to pick up more. The 2120 baskets in picture is of tomatoes, the 670 is of strawberries. I'm a farmer so I do use the seeds and other veggies, and I do make ales so those glasses come in handy. I never understood the point of stackable needles since they don't degrade and can be used over and over. When I get a chance I'll put an updated pic :thumbsup:

Definitely a music person. Even when sung a cappella, I'm listening to the harmony not the lyrics. Some songs I like finding out the lyrics, but for some, the lyrics ruin the song for me - or an idiotic video. Good thing I don't have cable and can't see most videos nowadays :XD:

Sure put me down for supporting the 'bonus' idea :thumbsup: Farming: Time it takes to grow crops is reduced (20 hours for a calquat tree, come on people - I need sleep! :XD: ) Fletching: Fletch all option, I think at 99 Fletching you should be able to skip the individual stringing. Thieving: Maybe at 99 thieving perhaps it's time that the Master Farmer DIDN'T CATCH YOU! :P

Sounds like an interesting idea. One thing to keep in mind is, you never know if one day 99 WON'T be the max anymore. With more and more people going for 99's and more getting them, Jagex will have to shake things up to keep those players interested. : As for 'master smith', the fact is you NEED 99 to make the highest level armor versus other stats that the highest you need is like 82 for herblore (at the moment at least). Also with these nice 'bonuses' for 99 in a stat, you'd need to be fair and think of bonuses for ALL. :-k

On my way now, I have some extra supplies - noted - so you'll have to un-note and build balloon. Let's fill the skies! :thumbsup:

LoL yes, a completely silly reason \ I'll be taking screen shots as usual and hope to see ya'll there!

BIG BALLOON BLOWOUT Date: 3/3/2007 Saturday Time: 11 AM Pacific/ 2 PM Eastern / 7 PM GMT World: 65 Location: North of Falador (See pic) RSN: Vhellcat Contact info: PM me on these forums please. You must have completed Enlightened Journey quest to make the origami balloons. You will need papyrus, candle, tinderbox and ball of wool to make the balloon (s). Really quick and simple, weÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll line up and (hopefully) release the balloons at the same time for a cool pic moment. If you have more than one balloon, just keep releasing them to fill up the skies of RS :thumbsup: We'll meet in the area pictured above.

Children for quite some time have been getting out of shape - choose whatever excuse is the 'hot topic' of the moment. To say RS is addicting isn't looking deep enough. If it was just you and the game, I'd say you'd get bored pretty quick. But it's the interaction with other people that gets you hooked. I'm an adult and when I first started playing RS the "thrill" of completing all the F2P quests is what got me interested and as time went on I formed friendships. I have a short attention span with games and get bored easily. RS has by far been the longest computer game I've played. (well maybe Solitaire beats that :XD: ) RS gets boring at times too, but I enjoy the friendships I have made in game and that is the #1 reason I still play RS. When I started playing I realized that I spent a bit too much time on RS and took mini-breaks (I used to play 7 days a week for months) taking a day off here and there and whoa - the game is still there! Now I'm busier in real life, I still play RS but I no longer "have to". I know the game will still be there. I find it disturbing to see how hooked some people get. They let it affect their life in negative ways. I wouldn't blame RS or any computer/internet related games for the lack of physical activity/"real life" of kids today. After all, the game can't MAKE you play, you have to make that decision and your family should be aware of what you're doing online. Parents that step in and say "I think you're spending a little too much time playing on the computer, let's set a limit" is a good thing =D> As for the adults that play RS, as long as they are happy in their real life and not use RS as a permanent escape to get away from RL problems, we should be fine. : A healthy balance can be had for your online and real life activities. So let me go check on my farm allotments then do some laundry IRL :mrgreen:

I play both, high detail to see the graphics (did you notice some guides for clues say 'dig next to plant' and there is no plant in low detail :-w ) but once I've seen it, I go to low detail for reasons already named - for me the trees get in the way when I'm farming in Ardy on high detail so low is the way to go. I also just went to the Brim Agility Dungeon on low for first time and I like it a lot more without all the fussy graphics. Even on low detail they could do with the option of making walls 'invisible' depending on your view. I usually play zoomed all the way out because of the walls. :-k I get lag/disconnected on low detail often, so it doesn't help in that regard.

Just a reminder this is today. Less than 7 hours (6 hours 44 minutes) \

Pretty good turn out. Thank you Keepers of Forgotten Honour for attending as well as all the guests - I hope ya'll enjoyed it! :

This is event is going on now, got a nice group going \

Hello, didn't want this to get buried and just a quick reminder this event is tomorrow (well tomorrow for me at least :wink: ) Join in and get your pieces of eight! Arrr! :thumbsup:

My goodness if this fantasy ever came true I'd cry with tears of joy! =D> However, he'd probably have a limit as he does with everything else (I personally make tons of supercompost that he can't handle to hold :XD: )

BARBARIAN ASSAULT TEAM RACE Date: 2/19/2007 Monday Time: 5 PM Pacific/ 8 PM Eastern / 1 AM GMT World: 59 Location: Barbarian Outpost RSN: Vhellcat Contact info: PM me on these forums please. Looking to get several BA teams to race to wave 10 starting from wave 1. We will meet in the wave 1 room and form teams. (You can form teams before hand so once you enter room you don't have to hunt for a team). Once the teams are set we will begin the race. First team to get to the wave 10 room that started in the wave 1 room wins. If youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re interested keep in mind that it takes about an hour (can be less or more) to get to wave 10 so if you know you canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t play for that time, please donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t commit to a team because you will leave them stranded. RuneScape has a Knowledge Base Article on this mini game if you require more information. Hope to see you there! :thumbsup: FAQ Q. Why is the race to wave 10 and not after queen is killed? A. It is easier to verify a team that started in wave 1 has reached wave 10 versus a team who had killed the queen because there is no real proof you killed the queen, you can just stand by the ladder where you end up if you had killed the queen without doing so. Q. I already have 4 friends (team of 5 including myself) who want to do this but aren't members of this forum - can they come? A. Yes, this event is open to anyone who wants to form a team and race other teams. Q. I don't have a team, can I still come? A. Yes, not everyone will have a team prepared before event starts, so join wave 1 room and find yourself a team! Perhaps you could even post in this thread what position(s) you can do and that you're looking for a team.

You can by the 'book cover' and put your pages in it until you complete the book. Right now I have 1 page of a god book I need, and as soon as I get a 2nd page - I'll buy the book cover so it goes back to taking up one bank space. My bank is always full (my friends can vouch for that :thumbsup: ) majority is taken up by farming and herblore items. I don't work just one skill at a time, so I have a little bit of everything. I think quest items should have an area of their own, like the box used in the Burgh de Rott quest where you put several items into the box - which only took up one space in your back pack. I've been tempted to drop the monkey greegrees many times, but I'm not going back through that mess to get a new one. Sometimes it takes Jagex a while to realize perhaps they should add that new key from a quest to the key ring (I dropped the Meiyerditch key the day I got it because you weren't able to put it on the key until later). Dropped the yak and jester outfit after I was done with quest, it would be nice to store in house instead of going back to the islands to get it but if I want it THAT BAD, then I will make that journey. I've had the freaky forester lederhosen for a year, I got a hat about two weeks ago - then the rollback happened and I lost the hat (along with other stuff I gained that day). So perhaps in 3 years I'll get full lederhosen. At least for zombie you can "prompt" that random by burying bones - that's what I did and I got full zombie and both emotes. I'm waiting for an RS "wallet" for all the forms of currency - ectotokens (yes I use them :P ), pieces of eight, castle war tickets, agility arena tickets, tokkul and so on. I thought the bolt pouch concept was neat - but then they put a limit of 200-250 bolts - I had thousands. And yes, proud packrat here - I like having some useless collections. It brings a smile to my face to see my burnt monkfish grinning at me :mrgreen:

TROUBLE BREWING Date: 2/17/2007 Saturday Time: 2 PM Pacific/ 5 PM Eastern / 10 PM GMT World: 104 Location: Trouble Brewing Mini Game on Mos LeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢Harmless RSN: Vhellcat Contact info: PM me on these forums please. To participate in this event, you will have to have completed the following quests: Zogre Flesh Eaters; Jungle Potion; Big Chompy Bird Hunting; Cabin Fever; Pirate's Treasure; Druidic Ritual; Rum Deal Talk to Bill Teach on the boat at Port Phasmatys Dock or if you already have a rum bottle from Honest Jimmy itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll teleport you directly to game area. If you havenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t done Ghosts Ahoy, you will need to make sure you have 2 ectotokens to get INTO Port P. This is done by grinding bones, (bones, pot) and getting slime (buckets) and worshipping the ectofunctus ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ you will NEED your Ghostspeak Amulet to GET the ecto-tokens from the ghost disciples. No items in backpack. Recommended outfit: something light, boots of lightness & hunter capes help. No helmet/headgear. Wield best woodcutting hatchet you have. MÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢speak amulet optional. Make sure your bank has 1-2 free spots. There is a DEPOSIT chest there. I recommend having a charged glory (if not wearing MÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢speak ammy) or a ring of dueling equipped so you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have to walk past the jungle horrors and other creatures to the bank. RuneScape has a Knowledge Base Article on this mini game if you require more information. Hope to see you there! :thumbsup:

Have you played a game where people didn't have a CLUE what TEAMWORK was? I have, plenty of times. And it's frustrating. I'm all for defense where it doesn't rely on other people as much such as cutting down ropes. I do like the idea of the ballista requiring team work but good luck getting that to work. I agree the current catapult seems to be more dangerous to your own team then to the enemy. Since most people fire the catapult at ONE enemy but the catapult area is surrounded with your own team mates and causes damage to everyone nearby. Mostly your own people. I'm still waiting for something to be done about 'flag holding'. :evil: Good luck with the ideas!

=D> Same with BEING hit... in a group of people which one of us got hit for 30?!?! Scramble to check your stat screen (hp) switch back, eat, etc... (At least in PC you have the damage counter, I see no point in arguing who got what hit :XD: ) So that's a yes, great idea to all who thought of it :wink:

Actually, haven't you noticed the influx of lower levels on P2P? F2P is overcrowded and they realize the "best" spots are on P2P and they are joining members. I remember when I joined members it seemed the majority of low levels were around combat level 80, now I see level 3's everywhere I go. I don't think F2P should disappear, but not because of the economy. I just think that F2P is a marketing tool in hopes of enticing people to join members for more benefits: skills, quests, gear, etc... some players will never join members but then you have people like me who got bored on F2P and joined P2P :wink:

USA Combat Level 106 \

I have the soundtrack... heh all very energetic party mood music \
