Yup, I'm locked out again. You'd think JaGeX would have a backup or something incase this happens...

Wrong thread ftw? :lol:

Had to happen on a Sunday when most people are at home, of all days.

Wrong, its not wear and tear. I've heard of this before, and there is a way to clean it. Can't remember how though.

Me and a friend were talking, saying about how JaGeX should just put a magic level limit on buying chaos and death runes. No point in buying them if you can't use them, eh?

Hang on a second, thats Gnomish. Translation anyone?

That it is. World 69 is already used by a few people from the official forums, but the turnout is so poor they might as well not bother. :(

After realising the potentially massive advantages of the blast furnace, I created a guide to illustrate just a few fine points about using the furnace and the benefits, and to the diserning smither like myself, the rewards of using the furnace are potentially huge. 1: Faster smelting times with more people 2: On site anvils for easy smithing 3: Ore store to unnote ores up to Mithril And the big one, 4: Uses half the coal for all bars, and 100% smith rate on Iron. So, this is a call to arms for all smithers, come to world 69 and start teaming together to create an awesome training area! World: 69, as there is generally a few people there Time: Any time! Location: Keldagrim blast furnace Requirements: 60 smithing a major advantage, as this grants free use of the furnace and acess to the on site anvils. Under 60 have to pay 2500 gp to use the furnace for smelting for 10 minutes roughly. 30 firemaking 30 strength 30 crafting 30 agility

I just made a post calling smithers to the furnace in the events forum.

Okay, I decided that not enough people appreciate the massive advantages to smithing at the blast furnace, so I'm creating this guide to spread awareness. Requirements: Ideal: Lv 60 smithing Minimum: 30 agility (Working the belt) 30 firemaking (Shovelling) 30 crafting (Fixing) 30 strength (Pumping) Why blast furnace? For starters, one massive reason, using the furnace to smelt your ores costs half the coal used to create the bar. For example, steel would take just one peice of coal and iron to make a bar. The next big reason is this, if there is a team of smithers, the smelting process is sped up dramatically over using any old furnace. Factor in that it has its own ore shop up to mithril, anvils for 60+ users and an armor shop to sell any of your finished masterpeices to makes it very attractive. Common misconceptions "The furnace is far away from a bank, so its effectively useless." Not true. Yes, it is far away from Keldagrim's west bank, but the ore shop makes it possible to unnote any ore up to mithril and coal as long as you have the money. (Covered later) "The furnace only works if you have a team" Its possible to solo the furnace, but its effectiveness does increase with more people around. Real cons Its far away from a bank, which makes it take a while to smith adamant or runite. Its not free to use unless you're 60+ smithing. Costs 2500 to use the furnace to smelt ore for about 10 minutes, and you cannot acess the on site anvils unless you have 60+ smithing. Not ideal to smith at unless you high alch everything or make stackable items. The basics The blast furnace is rather large, so listen well and you'll be able to make your way around it blindfolded. This is the ideal inventory, modelled by the lovely Pizzalord1. Boots of lightness, pennance gloves and a spottier cape as your equipment, with whatever ores you are smelting noted, a hammer and cash for unnoting your ores. Bring a fire staff and natures if you intend to high alch your smithed items. Remember, you only need half the coal for whatever item you are smelting, so the cost for: Iron: 100% smithed without ring of forging Steel is 1 Iron ore, 1 Coal Mithril is 1 Mithril ore, 2 Coal Adamant is 1 Adamant ore, 3 Coal Runite is 1 Runite ore, 4 Coal The furnace To the north of the lovely Pizzalord is the melting pot, with the ramp leading to the conveyor belt just to the left. The lv 60+ anvils are to the far left, the stairs which you entered at are to the far right. Just north of the stairs is a water source and bucket used to cool your hot bars down, once they are dispened at the bar dispenser. The ore shop and armor shop are also here, talk to the dwarves. Here is the bulk of the actual furnace. To the right of Pizzalord is the air pump, coke oven, coke and shovel spawn. To the south are the pipes and the pressure reader for the boiler. To the north is a bycicle used to move the conveyor belt, and to the north offscreen is a hammer spawn. To use the furnace First off, unnote your selected ore at the shops by selling it to them, then buying it back. This costs a bit of money, but saves a lot of time in bank trips. Then, make your way up the ramp. Depending on how many people are with you and what they are doing, you might have to do the following. The conveyor belt The purpose of this is to move the ore into the furnace. Just click on the bike and ride it, this will drain your run energy by a point a second. A part of the conveyor belt might break, you will have to fix this by clicking on it with a hammer in your inventory. Riding the bike earns you agility exp. Fuelling the boiler Grab the shovel and get shovelling! Just click on the coke storage next to you and put the coke in the boiler to get it fired up. Get it to red if you can. Doing this gains you firemaking exp. Once you finish the task, drop the shovel. Air pump This is the job to keep an eye on. Once you start pumping, you will have to rotate your camera so that you can see the bar dispenser. If the fires are glowing hot, then once the air pressure hits a critical point, all the ores in the furnace at the time will be smelted. If you keep pumping, then the pressure will blow back in your face and cause 10 or so damage. Occasionally while using the pump, the pipes will break and the pressure will drop until someone fixes them. If you are soloing the furnace, you will have to stop to fix them. Retreving the bars Grab the bucket from the stairs and fill it with water at the sink. Then, use the bucket on the ore dispenser to cool the bars down. Drop the bucket and grab your smelted bars. Then smith them at the anvils near the conveyor belt ramp. Rinse and repeat as needed. I hope you managed to get through that wall of text, and that this guide will give you better understanding of how to use the furnace effectively to make your smithing quicker, cheaper and easier. If there are any suggestions you want to make, go ahead! Knowing me, I've probably forgotten something. :roll:

A new prayerbook would have to have some pretty amazing prayers to warrant swapping out protection prayers... Nah, I say all we need is more normal prayers, no alternate books kthx.

Whenever I used to walk through a crowded area, one of the things that would appear in the chatbox would be "looking for bf/gf". This new rule can only be a good thing.

Is it just me, or have JaGeX taken a page from the book of Microsoft? Anyway, I like the sound of this system, though it does sound like it could be relatively easy to unlock some of them. New lunar spells could be good, maybe an actual combat spell using astral runes? Then of course, graphic updates. It should be interesting to see what they do with Varrock.

Think about it, if we got a small update this week, we will probably get a bigger than usual one next week.

Has anyone actually tried Rcing before posting here to complain yet? As far as I'm concerned, any update that thwarts the lurer's plans is a good update. If it equals a small amount of time spent crossing the ditch then so be it.

Keywords: Going to a bank is a perfectly safe practice. Following someone to an unspecified location isn't.

Question: What the heck do you do with swamp weed?

For me, in no particular order: Paper mario: The thousand year door. I'm surprised nobody's said anything about the Paper Mario games yet. The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time. Super smash bros melee.

+1 The day and night feature was incredible to me back then. First time I ever felt I was actually in the game. I cannot wait for diamond and pearl.

Actually, i've just opened the house up to all visitors!

O.k, the house is now officially open to visitors! Drop party starts in one and a half hours!

No, GMT.

I personally think this belongs in forum games. Not spam, just the wrong forum. :-w Did I read that he thinks theres something wrong with skillers? No. I know the guy, and he is a definitive skiller, and 109 combat. If you don't find it funny, don't post.

Well, the drop party takes place at 8pm, and then I'm going to castle wars if anyone wants to join me. In other news, it would be nice if a few more people could turn up. If not enough turn up, I might just drop the cash and half the glories and save the higher items for a bigger party some other time. We shall see tomorrow. :boohoo:

My method is to get the best castle wars armor i can afford, White, and keep building the stand over and over again.
