Yeah, Catherby is definately the quickest and closest.

One this very site.... http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?p ... _arena.htm

Cool, a new farming patch! Not much into quests to be honest lol

Hmm, if the world is flat then you wouldn't be able to do clue scrolls since you need a round world for the sextant to work. LOL

Wow, this is just about the best suggestion I've ever read. Very well written and clearly a lot of thought put into it. 10/10 !!!

Coal trucks are okay, but sometimes they just get too busy I find.

Yeah, Marketplace and Game Forum posts don't seem to count... not sure if there's others that are excluded

A = American Pie

A simple game... A theme is decided upon, then participants must work their way through the alphabet. Example... Food Types Post 1 : Anchovies Post 2 : Beans Post 3 : Cucumber etc... The theme for this game... MOVIES The person who gets Z, gets to decide on the next subject

Wow, that is a pretty elaborate scam. You know, if these scammers used half of their imagination in actual skill development... they'd make waaaay more money that way! Oh well, good job avoiding being another victim.

My first guide... hope it's ok ;) Contents Overview Password & P.C. Security Misc' Security Measures Scams Overview There is little that I despise more than someone stealing another player's account. A Runescape account represents a LOT of time and energy and it's heartbreaking to lose your items or account in its entirety. So here's a guide to help you secure your account. I have a fair amount of relatively low level hacking experience and I honestly know what I'm talking about. I hope you take most of what you're about to read seriously. If this guide saves just one account, then it was worth the time I spent writing it. Password Security & Countermeasures Probably the most common way to lose an account on Runescape is for your password to fall into the wrong hands. Now there's lots of way this can happen. 1. Keylogger or other trojan somehow finding its way onto your computer. This can happen a number of ways. * Accidentally downloaded as part of another program (usually a supposed RS utility such as an autominer or interface program) + Perform regular virus scans and keep the virus definitions up to date. Download an reputable and recommended Malware or Adware application ( I use Adaware). Avoid ALL runescape utility programs. The majority of them are malicious. 2 An unsecure internet browser which simply isn't up to date or has the security settings turned down too low + Ensure that your Autoupdates are enabled and that you allow Microsoft to update you with the lastest patches. Depsite the press, MS really are the best and most secure browsers. Also ensure that your browser security settings are set to high. Java Permissions - HIGH Access Data Sources Across Domains - DISABLED Active Controls - OFF (unless trusted site) 3 Someone simply overseeing you enter your password, typically on a shared computer at school, college, work etc... + Obviously, have a look around and make sure no one is looking. Also, log out when you leave your computer! Simple common sense here. 4. Your password is very easy to guess + Use a mix of numbers and letters. BAD: MYPASSWORD OK : MYPASSWORD12 GOOD : 12MYPASSWORD13 EXCELLENT : 12MYPAS14SWORD15 5. You've used your password on a related website, typically another RS forum such as this one. + Never, never, NEVER use your Runescape password on any other website... EVER! No matter how much you trust them. 6. Recovery Questions are Obvious or have been farmed from you. + You've answered questions on forums such as "What's your favourite cartoon, or fave colour, or fave book, your first dog's name" etc... These appear to be innocent questions on forums to keep bored RS players entertained, but they're also your RECOVERY QUESTIONS! Don't fall for it. Just to dispell a myth... Runescape is uber secure. It's virtually impossible for a hacker, however good to mount a direct attack on the main RS servers. The absolute majority of all lost accounts are generally down to user oversights as listed throughout this guide. Misc' Security Measures Bank PINs Now I know what you're thinking... "It's a pain in the back side having to enter your PIN every time". Although it's a little annoying, you only have to do it ONCE, that is, the first time you attempt to access your bank after logging in. It only takes a few seconds to enter your code. So even if someone does somehow access your account despite all the measures taken above, they still can't get into the really good stuff. Bank all Now this is a bit of pain, but if you're really concerned you can do this. It's a simple of matter of removing all of your items from your character and sticking them in the bank before you log out. Recovery Questions It's essential that you set these up. They may save your account. The important thing is that you should make your own customised questions rather than the "What's your favourite TV show", as anyone can guess this. Make it something only you will know i.e. "The first girl you really fancied". SCAMMING Now I was a little reluctant to adding this section since I don't want to give anyone any ideas. But I'm sure you all know the consequences of being caught by Jagex, so hopefully, you're all mature enough to avoid trying these known scams out for yourself. Duplicate An Item Typical Tag Line Scammer : "Hey, do you know the cheat that lets you double your items?" You : "Really? I'm stupid, tell me how" Scammer : "Drop your item and very quickly hit the Ctrl & F4 keys together. Now you can pick up two items". In reality, you've just dropped a valuable item while Ctrl + F4 shuts down your browser. Now you have to quickly load up the browser, hope you remember which world you were on and hope that you log in on time, before it spawns in front of the scammer Free Trimming, Crafting, Smithing etc... Very common. You'll typically see someone shouting, free armour trimming or free dragon hide crafting. In reality they're hoping you'll hand over your items for smithing/crafting etc, so that they can do a runner with them. For the record, you CANNOT trim armour so don't fall for that obvious one. Jagex Hides Your Password Typical Tag Line Scammer : "Jagex stars out your password. *****, see?" Fracking liar. Think about it, what if your password was for example "quest". So you say "Can you help me complete this *****". People would quickly figure out that your password is likely to be "Quest". This is why Jagex don't blank it out incase you use it in common conversation and someone figures out the starred text by it's context. So the short version is, that Jagex DO NOT hide your password in game conversation. Selling Rare Item Another favourite with the scum is to claim that a relatively unknown item is a rare holiday drop or some such thing. Typically these items are obsure quest items such as the golden bowl, or hollow reed. Many people who have not yet done the quest are naive enough to believe it and can splash out a lot of cash on a useless item. To avoid this scam, simply take your time and check the Runescape forums for the REAL price of the supposed rare item. "Selling Jade - 20K" You may be walking around and see someone selling or buying a relatively unknown item for a large amount of cash. The way this scam works is that one person stands at one entrance to a town shouting "Buying Jade - 20k". Then when you reach the bank, you see someone shouting "Selling Jade - 10k". Now you're thinking, "Ah, i I could make a quick 10k here". So you buy the Jade for 10k and head off to find the other guy just find he isn't buying any more. The culprits then split the profit. Luring Typical Tag Line Scammer : "Hey noob, I found a great place where a ruby spawns every 30 seconds".... or something to that effect Victim : "Cool, lead the way" Scammer then typically leads the victim into wildy or Kalphite Queen lair or some other deadly place, where they either kill you or watch you die and then gather up your belongings. Trading Item Switch One of the most common scams in the game. You buy say 1,000 coal from someone. You put up your money and the scammer puts up 1,000 coal. You hit Accept, and after you do, the scammer drops the amount to 100 hoping that you won't notice the missing zere before you hit Accept for the second time. Also tends to happen with other expensive items such as people swapping out Guthan Warspear for the Bone Spear etc... The moral of this, simply take your TIME and make sure you're getting. Ignore any attempts the other player is making to rush you.

Totally agree... frog tokens are about as much use as an inflatible dart board. ;)

This is about as good as I've gotten... and

I wonder if we'll need camoflage since we're hunting after all. I was thinking leaves (finally a use for the tanglefoot). Various animal skins (bear, snake etc...) Maybe even dyes? I imagine that most of the Hunting items required don't actually exist yet, so I'm only really saving up cash myself.

It's been a long time since I've died in RS... I'm uber careful now. Last time I died (touch wood), was about 3 years ago before Dragon stuff came out. I lost my glory ammy and most of my rune armour. Not a big deal now, but at the time I was devastated lol.

Well, if the world truly is round, then it'll never end... it'll just loop back on itself ;)

Wow, some impressive amounts there. I've got 4 blue, 2 green and 1 red.

Those are awesome pictures mate. Did u know that if you shrunk the distance between the Earth and the Sun to just one inch, that the nearest star would still be four miles away! Just to give u an even better appreciation of our galaxy scale

Yeah, iron is definately the way to go. There's also a great iron ore spot just north east of Yanille. Two groups of ores (3 ores and a group of 4 ores) I generally manage about 600-700 ores per hour there (about 25k exp per hour)

Iron is definately way quicker. You'll make good money too if you decide to make iron throwing knives. Think you can sell them for about 40gp each, essentially converting each bar into the equivalent of 200gp each.

I bet they never get to hang him.... our messed up "Justice" systems mean he'll be allowed to appeal over an over and over. It'll be so drawn out, that we'll eventually forget about him while he lives out his life in comparitive luxury in some 5 star jail somewhere. That's Justice for you... I mean, it took 2 years to find him guilty lol, yet the evidence was completely overwhelming.

Yeah, there's much quicker ways of making money and when you consider the lack of experience, making cannonballs just isn't worth it :(

Awesome mate... only 3 left to guess ( 7 wasnt Pulp Fiction, but very close.

Yup, well done.... that's another two down :)
