from the first development diary, when they were discussing the name changes. also, summoning development was begun at more or less the same time as hunter was finished (also in the development diary)

i thought they said summoning would be to hunter what smithing is to mining. ie, you use what you gather from hunter to advance in summoning. is this what you meant?

the boulder at the entrance to brine rat cave: "is it a rock crab? our survey says no." dark kebbit: "quieter than a ninja mouse with slippers on"

an excellent guide. i would recommend putting the "great brain robbery" book into the gorillas bit, as it saves money and means you don't have to leave to restock. wouldn't normally be a problem, but if you want it to be a comprehensive guide, i'd suggest it anyway. the only other improvement i can think of is the huge list of different places to train being broken up a bit. it's slightly daunting when first opened and isn't ideal for quick referencing.

penguin eggs were confirmed in the fourth development diary. i agree that there are more in-depth discussions in "general discussion" with regards to summoning. quests i would have thought should be added: Cold War (the penguin quest, for penguin eggs maybe), Eagles' Peak (because summoning will tie in with hunter a lot) this is a well laid-out guide, and has some good information considering nothing is concrete. i especially like the idea of getting more net traps for hunter, i hadn't thought of that. i do think a lot of it is superfluous, however: advice for people wanting to train firemaking with summoning - buy a tinderbox. mining - get a pick. i'm sure anyone who has ever levelled in most of the skills will have these (and other) basic items.

i can finally get rid of those prayer pages, cluttering up my bank. will visit it when i'm done ranging a bit more.

what some people might do now is learn from their mistakes. instead, you seem to have resigned yourself to quitting. just pick yourself up and get on with it. what have you lost, really? a nice outfit, and a 900k bow. lots of people could cope with losing that, so try it.

i have been to GWD once, and made it as far as the bosses. i was actually very happy that i nearly died and had to use my teleport shortly after getting in there. it gave me something to aim towards and to guage my improvement by. i have the utmost respect for any group of people who manage to beat these monsters. it is something different and a bit of fun which requires good teamwork in order to be enjoyed properly by lots of people. i don't see the point of this thread, really. kids will bicker, will complain, will kick up a fuss if something isn't catered to their specific needs. if you don't like it, move somewhere else. seems to me that's what the clans are doing: moving so they can enjoy it more without you there.

that's shocking. really, it's terrible. OT: jagex have said that making any update takes time, and this is a huge update. the planning stages will have taken weeks, maybe months, let alone all the artwork and coding. you can't just make it up as you go along when you're trying to please over a million members.

i'd probably buy all the things i've ever wanted in runescape and not know what to do with them. i much prefer struggling to get things than having them. "there is no way to happiness, happiness is the way" and all that. i'm fairly sure i'd quit about a month later.

i tried betty swallocks one time on another account but it was too long. gutted. also, on my first account (elementz m) i wanted elementz but it was taken.

forums are by far the easiest way to do this. he is not getting his friends to do it, he's asking everyone to join in. if i wanted a sara kite right now, as opposed to [something else i have], i could offer to trade for it. i'm not his friend, i don't know him. it would be a simple trade, same as happens all the time in runescape. it's also fairly obvious he's not doing it for the money. look at his sig. see all the money and the santas? and this would be a horribly slow way to make money. also, to all of you who've said that he should do it and THEN tell people about it, you'd say he was lying. it would, perhaps, be more interesting that way and it would be possible to prove it with screenshots of reasonable-looking trades but it would be much easier to give up that way.

in varrock library you can find a book called about the "dagon'hai." they were the zamorakian mages in varrock, and i think it is safe to say that they will feature in the new quest this month. it tells their story and also gives a very good indication of where the dungeon will be (by the statue of saradomin). just thought it was interesting, really. have told a few people about it and the books are untradable.

that's very good, and much better than most of the other threads on here. i think it is a bit harder than that, though, as the animation needs to take into account longbows and composite bows. admittedly, it would only take a tiny bit of tweaking to change what you have there to make it work for any bow. well done for taking the time to come up with an alternative. right now, i'm going to go and shoot some arrows to compare the two.

looking at your sig, i assume that you enjoy the combat aspect of the game. if so, keep all your best sets for fighting in. the gilded would be a huge step down from this. if, however, you are hoping to come away from the fighting side of things and maybe work on some other skills, you may prefer the 'better-looking' armour. i have good armour in the bank for fighting high-level monsters and the rest of the time it is definitely fashion before function for me.

i'd learn to fish with my bare hands. one thing i've always wanted to see is a cat eating a shark in one huge bite, so i'd feed a shark to my cat. i'd like to rob a RS bank, too. imagine all the loot...a bit like the wise old man but i'd get some other stuff as well. i think walking behind other people and tripping their characters up every so often would be quite funny.

65 is definately NOT high, it's actually pretty low. High is 110+. They were talking about SLayer levels, CrazyPants, not Combat! i have 118 slayer. nearly

why ask people to go to the wilderness? you'll get a terrible turn-out. why not just get the level in edgeville? or, if you want, get the level, tele to edgeville bank and then have the party there. either way, i don't think asking people to come to the wilderness is that good an idea.

sounds like cabbages have been done to death here, so i'll tackle the other ridiculous question. why are needles so big? so you can see them. it's fairly obvious. not everything is actually the same size. the picture is to make it easier for you to see it all. why are needles stackable? well, this really is a silly question. would you expect to fit more than 28 pies in a bag? no. would you expect to fit more than 28 needles in the same bag? yes. yes you would. how did you not see that?

if i were jagex, this is what i would think: - most of the players are going to want to keep doing new stuff - without f2p updates, the new stuff for them to do will run out - at this point, players will consider upgrading to p2p - f2p updates will delay this process, depriving jagex of money - jagex wants more money, what with being a business and all... - with f2p updates, people might think this: "i could upgrade to p2p. or i could train my [insert skill here] until the next update" - new players would eventually take ages and ages to run out of new stuff to do with f2p updates i don't think f2p should have extra skills or quests or any minigames. bank space would be nice, however, and some real mage pking gear.

completely off topic but i felt i had to comment on this. wildpownege, ever heard of sentences? i ran out of breath and willpower about halfway through your post. and you teleblock and pk outside mage arena? wow, fearless pker or what...[\sarcasm] OT: i don't like it when a green dragon pker thinks you're an autoer.

toad, why would you pk in full chicken?? doesn't seem like the most practical thing to kill other people in. each to his own, i guess, but don't say i didn't warn you.

i got called noob quite a few times in the last few weeks, for really quite silly reasons. 1. not falling for a scam 2. not wanting to sell my armour 3. not wanting to buy a dragon battleaxe 4. asking for a pricecheck 5. asking how much something heals 6. having private chat on friends 7. having private chat off 8. having private chat on 9. meleeing my point is that the word is overused. stop it. it's not even a word anyway.

they don't actually have any use, as far as i'm aware. but they're handy if...um...actually, no they're not. they're just rubbish. the flying jump kick would have been a good idea. try it next time, give them something to think about.

that's ok. my tortoise shell protected me from said comment. lucky it was saved by the onslaught of lvl96 mage...
