Lore

Gratz on the fm deio :) Me is jealous of your spare time.. And gl on summoning when you train it (because we all know you can't resist), i'll have to come get charms with you sometime

Hmm, thanks matok :) I'll simply ask jagex, who knows? maybe i'll actually get a response : that'll be the day... as to finding a lvl 50 ranger with 44 prayer..

as per the first post, it is a difference. the difference being whether you're applying the 15% to a smaller or larger number, resulting in a smaller or larger final level

Thanks :) So, how should I go about testing this? Edit: Reading that again, I think you may have misunderstood. I'm simply wondering which way the game applies the bonuses, not whether you have to pray then pot or pot then pray.

I've been wondering, if you're using both range boosting pots and prayer, is the prayer bonus calculated on the base figure or the boosted figure? at 75 range, 15% is equal to 11.25 points. add to that 10 points of range pot and your range is now at 95.25 applied pot then prayer, you are adding 15% of your potted 85 range (12.75), resulting in a range of 97.75 It's not really enough that it will make a huge difference, but I was just wondering :)

:shock: Wow. You've written a great guide here, but I have one (personal) problem. Reading through this sorta makes me feel like i'm being treated as an idiot. I understand that you're just being informative but do we really need to be told 9 different ways to use a glider/spirit tree? Don't take this the wrong way - i'm not trying to insult your guide, Just made me wonder if I was a few years to old to be reading it.

Heya mario, here's my contribution :) [hide=Spelling] Items: Monkfish Relicym's Balm Stats: Expand skill names? 1: corpse 4: keris thieving (and again in the example) Miniquests: miniquest (In both expanded boxes)[/hide] Great job on the maps too :thumbsup: I ranged the scarab (full black d'hide) with mage protect to start with, but found I was getting hit much more than whilst using range protect. Was standing in the doorway, so it definitely wasn't meleeing me. The attack is range/mage ? 73 mage, 72 range, so nothing special defense wise. Does the power allocation to the puzzle room make the puzzle less random? Just looking at maddudy's pic, and all 18 of my goes were nothing close to as neat as that. Oh, and lastly, with the puzzle room allocated the least power, it is impossible to logically solve. Using excel, you need to use 12/20 of your guesses to remove the runes, leaving only 8 guesses where you can fail. The most efficient method is to uncover two of one type, and then get lucky and find the 3rd on your first click of three. ^(perhaps obvious, but hey... :-w ) Transportation: - Suggested by taraka2 Pharaoh's Sceptre Charos Ring (for carpets) Ancient Magicks home tele will get you close (ish). Al-kharid carpets still quicker though. edits: .: Turns out once you open the doors they stay open, there's no need to bring logs if you have to return for some reason.. like dieing.. .: Bring 5 or so extra logs is a very good idea, to help with the puzzle .: After reducing the priests health, there is a good chance he will disappear. Logging off and back in seems to fix this, and you resume from where you were - no need to start the dialog again. .: It is also possible that the scarabs will spawn next to him, effectively safespotting you from one, until he summons another. Make sure you kill all the scarabs before finishing him, or they will interrupt the dialog and you may have to reload. .: You can refill your waterskins from the spring east of the archeologists .: DON'T FORGET ANTIPOISONS IN THE DUNGEON! Being poisoned for 9 whilst trying to fight scarabs and a high priest is quite annoying.. Although I teled out with a rol and the poison didn't kill me. rol effect? or poison stops after boss? .: When searching the trap, make sure you click the right side, getting it wrong will walk you over it, then search it.. .: Slightly irrelevant, but the tiara will be used over any waterskins TSA FTW :mrgreen: Hmm.. looking at this post.. this is not a thread hijack, honest :oops:

I'm not really sure if this fits, but hey. As a minor without a job (Living in the country >.<) I can't really donate much, however I can leave my computer on. By running the Folding@Home client, you can contribute computing time to help understand conditions like alzheimers. Google folding@home if you're interested :)

I apologize if this has been mentioned, but it's not in the guide nor the first 5 pages. After completion of the quest 'Contact!' you gain access to a bank in sophanem, around 1.5 screens from the east pyramid exit. Edit: Oh, that is so not fair..

Recording the sound from the RS applet. (I haven't tested this, it's just off the top of my head) [hide=Think back..]You are feeling sleepy, you are feeling very sleepy. Watch my finger. :shame: Watch as it lulls you into a dreamlike state. Now think back.. THink back to Jagex's war on SS. [/hide] The point of that blabber is that a little while ago, Jagex changed RS' sound output from midi, so that it can't be easily intercepted en route to your speakers. The easiest way to capture sound is to plug your speaker out into your microphone in (make sure to have your microphone volume muted) using a double ended 3.5mm TRS plug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_plug. THen simply set the audio in to use the microphone in line easy.. :?

nice stats :) and good luck with your goals how are you training mage? i'm using fire bolts, bit slow but good exp.. and you might want to consider just using links rather than full-screen screenies. once again, good luck :thumbsup:

deio, you are an agility machine, i don't know how you can do it 8-) well, keep up the good work. only 114 hours to go :thumbsup: [edit] I forgot, BUMP. :P

great, I love it. nice work on the pics too, though you could probably add some grey and dark gold shading to them. Support * 10 :thumbsup:

thanks hep, just wondering, do you like metal as well? I don't know why, but I find that alot of people who have similar tastes to me like harder rock and metal. btw, nice siggy :thumbsup: ns, i'll give you whatever gold I mine, but it's gonna be a while till I get back to the crafting guild dragonrule, I was perfectly happy with f2p, until I joined Tal Shiar. Made me realise how much i'm missing out on #-o Thanks for the posts guys, much appreciated

Thanks Hogi, like it says up top (points to no. times edited) mems at 1000ttl grrrrrrrrrr :evil: 145 :wall:

G'day everyone If you've shown up here, chances are you either I linked you into it, or you had the fortune of catching this on the first page :-w I started this blog so I could share my RS experience with my clan talk about myself have somewhere to put a bunch of pictures. I'm in a clan called Tal Shiar, and you probably should be too. We have a great community, an active IRC channel, and a bunch of good times. Current Stats Current Goal Most Recent level Lore [hide=About Me]Personal Life I'm a seventeen year old guy, and I live in Australia. I've finished year twelve at a good high-school and moved up to a university in Melbourne. I am a fairly smart (when I want to be), I fiddle with computers (mainly software and programming), and I can hold my own at maths-y stuff. Oh, and I love freedom. The freedom to disregard of the rules when it suits you. When you can look back on the lives of those around you and feel that you have something more. Born and raised on a farm I've grown up with that. I used to think I'd hate ever living in the city, but now I've moved into an apartment near uni I'm beginning to grow rather fond of my little box. And I like Green (or purple) :thumbsup: Music Tastes I have a very weird taste in music. It used to be punk-rock orientated, but now alot of those artists just sound like whiny little kids. I like everything from Red Hot Chili Peppers to Mika, including others like Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Queen, Bon Jovi, Evanescence, Meatloaf, Powderfinger, Matchbox Twenty, Cascada, Basshunter, Counting Crows, Village People, U2, and I'm getting into Nightwish. One of my pet hates is low quality music Unfortunately, after you learn to pick it, it drives you insane. Once your ears are spoiled with quality tracks and good speakers, you can't go back to distorted bass and whining singers.. Sometimes it is better to live in ignorance. I am also a loyal TWiT listener, so I'd recommend all of you with iTunes go out and subscribe to the This Week in Tech podcast. Subscribe to TWiT via Itunes <- Magnet Link (will open iTunes) Lastly, if you haven't heard of him before (and even if you have), go check out Tim Minchin. He's an incredible comedian/songwriter. I need not say more. | | | | Rock N' Roll Nerd | | Mitsubishi Colt | 10 Foot C'ock and a Few Hundred Virgins | Lorexvath I first discovered Runescape through miniclip.com :wall: , liked the idea, so I sat down and created my character, Lorexvath. I am the kind of person who puts alot of thought into their character's name. The name is a mashup of our property name, a biscuit tin, and a character from a book long forgotten. Lorexvath came into existence about the start of 2005, but after a few three or four month breaks, I decided to play RS more frequently. Fast forward a few years, (just) over 1000 more levels, the loss of nooblet innocence, and you get to the start of this blog. \:D/ I achieved my goal of 1000 F2P Total before signing up for members. A big shout out to Tal Shiar for convincing me to finally sign up. =D Starting Out Here are my stats at the start of this blog Just for the sake of records, here was my bank.

It turned into a little obsession, and I made 12k steel bars to get 60 smithing, also put a few mil in the bank =) With 30 Quest Points, I've done all possible f2p quests without levelling combat. I'm aiming to get ranked on hiscores, but I don't think that's ever going to happen without paying for members - and I don't want to do that on sixth. My long term goal is to reach an overall level of 500, without training woodcutting or firemaking. This is going to take a very long time. These are the goals I'm working on: 65 Runecrafting Achieved! | | | | [/hide] [hide=Outfits] I got this myself from drops. Proudness This one's Sixth's, but I'm proud she has the robes. [/hide] [hide=Achievements] I used the adze alot on the way to 99 woodcutting. In hindsight it didn't make a huge amount of difference, but it's a cool item nonetheless. Yeah, this took a while.. I didn't even have a torso when I got this =) Bought my first one afterwards Managed to lose 2m, a torso, and fire cape getting this =( Some sheep came down the drive and I forgot to log out when I ran off to get them. Must have got a random, because I woke up in lumby. Grrr. [/hide] Blog I'm gonna try and keep up a semi-regular (meaning totally random) post of what i've been up to. .....2009 [hide=1 June 2009]Well, it's 2am when I finally finished updating this. It's been over five months since I put content into the first post.. poor blog's going to think I don't love it anymore =/ One week until university exams and I have about a semesters worth of work to do. It's gonna be fun >.< No real progress on rs in the last few months, my internet here is coming from the university wireless across the road - and runescape won't load over that. It downloads the content, but gets stuck at 'connecting to update server'. Sigh. I'm going to be so happy when I finally get a ghoul scroll. The count is at about 6.5k kills now, I'm getting rather frustrated.[/hide] .....2008 [hide=20 December 2008]Thank God. Got exam results back on the 15th: 90.3 ENTER score =D The ENTER Score is a state system for ranking students. All your subject scores are added up to give you a final score. The ~49000 scores from students around the state are ranked along a bell curve: 90.3 means I was in the top 1.3% of the state =) As that gets me into almost any course I want, I'm kinda happy about it. In rs.. well I got 80 crafting on an all nighter, that was fun. Also learnt that your stomach becomes overly acidic if you don't get enough sleep.. I finally achieved a Fire Cape =D Even if it did take four attempts.. First one I didn't get there, Second I lagged on Jad while switching prayers, Third I sat around for 10 minutes safespotting and attacking - trying to work out how to deal with those *@&**#$(* healers.. Fourth time I did it no problem! Last few days I've been making a concerted effort to get some more wc exp. Closer and Closer.[/hide] [hide=12 September 2008]Yay. All english SAC's done (School Assessment Task). Only the final exam to go now.. 70 farming from snaps ^.^ Got 62 herb buying grimy and selling clean snaps (for a profit =) ) g2g. cyas.[/hide] [hide=28 August 2008]Well, it's settled I. AM. AWESOME. Awesomely lazy.. One month, 21 Days, 22 Levels. Attack to 75, very happy about 70 prayer, Bunch of lower ones including Farming and Summoning. Got 82 Firemaking today, I had 1 exp left. Funny though, that of all the things I could have done, including the reward and exp from doing all fired up, and then lighting ten beacons at once to get what rewards I could, and then doing five or six test burns to work out what exp bonus they gave, it wound up with exactly one exp point remaining. It's enough to blow one's mind. I'm also a little sad today. Today marks a great loss for me. I have been convinced, and therefore lost the argument, that 0.999~ does in fact equal one. With a sigh I join the ranks of classroom academics who have fallen before me, convinced by a primitive and limitless understanding of infinity, defeated by complex math of limits and boundaries and other theories that our final year of senior school does not cover. Sigh. 68 Days until final exams too. Thirteen years of school leading up to these exams. Gulp. Study Study Study Study Badger Badger Badger Badger Snake![/hide] [hide=7 July 2008]Busy busy busy =) Been very, very busy. 1700 Total! Happened to come with 64 slayer. Put on a few combat levels, reaching not only 1700 total but 100 (and then 101) combat. Realised I only have two tasks left on Varrock Journal, but I happen to need a smithing level, and a WHOLE lot of farming levels to be able to do them. Gotta force myself to do the homework before school starts.. Final two terms =S It's looking alot like i'm gonna have very little spare time once school starts again. Which blows. Anyways, just got 70 Thieving, so only 7 more to go =D Spent most of today rcing, and with only 30k exp to go I expect I'll get 70 rc before bed tonight. Afro's gonna make me anyways.. You hear me afro! You're on here now. be afraid. Pasted this into word out of curiosity, almost up to 3000 words (2864 to be precise. By here it's 2883) Catchas[/hide] [hide=3 July 2008]Short little update. Been wcing, so no levels yet. However, today *was* a very enlightening one.. Fudge.. If you like little animals, don't read this. I'm not kidding, don't. I live on a farm, we grow barley (grain), and sheep. It's lambing season. This does involve cute little fluffy lambs frolicking in the paddocks. The part you don't hear about is helping with the births. It's a pretty complicated procedure, so sometimes nature screws up, we go round the sheep and if there's a ewe lying down, they've usually got a stuck lamb. We get to help pull it out. You know what I mean. They come out legs first, with the head in between the front legs, and then once that's out the rest just follows. Or so it should, but sometimes they come out funny. A leg doesn't sit right, or in todays case the head doesn't end up between the legs. Pull long and hard enough on the legs sticking out, and if it doesn't come, and you keep pulling, euch. The leg can be pulled off. Whole thing comes out of the sheep. Socket and all. I admit, I barfed. Then we had goddamned lamb meatballs for tea. Also, the afterbirth wreaks. Like the worst smell on earth. And it sticks, takes days to scrub out the smell from your hands. Slimy, smelly, disgusting. Not many times I hate living out here. I warned you not to read it, but If you did, hopefully there's a little idea of the not so glamorous side of sheep farming. (2nd Edit today. Got 93 Wc at 6:25pm =D)[/hide] [hide=1 July 2008]So, back from a holiday in Cairns. It was cloudy the whole time. >.< Other than that, nice and warm. Got to go diving, which was a bit embarrasing when I had a bit of a panic attack.. Had to fill your mask with water, then blow it out using air from your nose. All good in theory, I didn't realise how much I depend on my nose for breathing - forgot to breathe through my mouth and started sucking water up my nose. Noes! Failed that three times, so went and had lunch and managed to keep my head when I tried again half an hour later.=) Once you get used to the breathing it's awesome! We saw a bull ray (really big manta ray), a resting shark, and a heap of parrotfish. Awesome. [This is at the great barrier reef, for those of you who don't know where Cairns is] There were really strong winds, causing really big rocking waves. I was one of the few who weren't sick on the way there and back, which I actually made 20 bucks from in a bet. Didn't want to take the seasickness pill, just to see whether i'd feel sick, and mum got in a huff and said I owed her $20 if i was sick.. too bad for her it works the other way round =). So yeah.. other than diving.. Day long 4wd tour of the rainforest, that was good fun. Nothing else really stands out. I did spend 20 minutes in the dark trying to open the door of the apartment, only to go and wake up reception and find they'd given us the wrong spare key.. All while sister was sitting in the video shop across the road with a seedy italian bloke. Then when we returned the DVD we forgot to put it in the case. So they got an empty case, we left the state, and the next people to rent that apartment scored a copy of 300. win much? Got back to Victoria, got home, spent a day finishing Mass Effect (goddamn awesome ending), went to start rocking out, had to get a thieving level, did the quest, bought another quest cape for the hood, put it on, half an hour dancing at draynor, and you're up to date =)[/hide] [hide=10th June 2008]Heh. And you thought I forgot about this.. Well. I didn't. Or I did. Bah, I'm here now so shutup :) Tis kinda amazing to look back at this and see how far I've come. My wc is now up to 92, and I have a quest cape :D, 99 cb, and alot more 70's. But what I have now that I treasure most are more friends. As TalShiar expands, I look back with a sense of joy, but still feel a sense of loss. With every new person comes a fresh outlook, an enthusiastic face, a bit more knowledge. But the price of this, and they don't (and cannot) change it, is the little part of the old community they erode.. That all sounds a bit sad, it's not really. Change has to hurt, but in the end it will be better for all of us. Just like the tipit forums. They kinda suck atm - broken links, old corrupted posts, Avvys gone, Horrible layout.. But in the end it will all be fixed, the old forums will be forgotten, and we will move on with our lives and enjoy the speed and flexibility of these new forums. The staff member that left us their 'Goodbye' present, I hated him when I read Silverion's announcement. Now I see the possibility that this was actually for our own good. Under a week without forums, and we get to start with a base that will let the Tipit staff run for many years to come.. Or do I have to much faith in humanity? I have midyears tomorrow, so it's time to get my [wagon] off here and into the practice exams. Catcha round Tipit :)[/hide] .....2007 [hide=1st August 2007]Well, it's been a long time. Nearly a month in fact. Having achieved my 1000 total just before heading back to school, I promptly forgot about runescape and buried myself back in the stacks of homework that suddenly appeared. Anyways, after months of nagging I have procured a prepaid sim card from dad for use in obtaining members =D. Just waiting till I get a bunch of free time before I subscribe. DOn't really know what else to say know.. ttyl guys[/hide] [hide=5th July 2007]Aaah. I can feel it. It's so close now. Yep, you guessed it, i'm talking about my 1000 total and members =D. I've smithed another 2k bars over the last couple of days, and nearly achieved 60 smithing, I ran out of coal with only 1 bar left to smelt :S. edit: Bought all the coal off lord troyus, who very kindly supplied it at MTK price I would have been dead broke otherwise. TROY IS AWESOME! So, after selling my 2k steel bars (which is a helluva lot for f2p) I had a whopping 1.29 mil =D.. which I promptly blew buy buying the 8k chaos for mage. So, now i'm scorching mossy butts with Fire Bolts in my quest for 70 mage <.< >.> >.< Oh, I also traded my clan leader some ore, including 100 addy, for which he rewarded me with a cooking apple =(. YOU HEAR ME NS! I NEED THE MONIES! Well, if i ever need a loan...[/hide] [hide=1st July 2007]Hmm.. last couple of days I accomplished a few of my goals, I'm nearly 1000 now =D. Only 10 to go. Finally got the silver ore i'd ordered, the guy was being a pain and wouldn't swap worlds. Note to self: Make sure they know you're f2p. After getting my defense levels on crandor I took a break for smithing and crafting the silver, then went off with four thousand chaos runes to see if I could put a dent in the mossies (again). I got a prayer level just after getting 64 magic. Gotta love those unexpected levels =). My goals section is looking pretty sweet right now, only mage, smithing and wc to go. Although i'm probably only going to go to 82 woodcutting, or i'll overshoot my 1000 goal. Bye for now, but not forever.[/hide] [hide=28th June 2007]Watched the remaining six episodes of Battlestar Galactica whilst mining, the ending's kinda disappointing.. on the bright side, I achieved my goal of 75 Mining, so I'm off to smithing now till I run out of coal. Did an hour or so of smithing, and got 58. Not a huge level, but good enough for me considering i'm only smelting steel bars. Still contemplating what to do with them once i've made them. I could sell them all and make me a pretty penny, or i could smith them all and halve the amount of smelting. Normally i'd choose the latter, but as I need to find money for 13k chaos runes i've kinda got a spanner.. more like a freight train.. thrown in-between the gears. Level screenies are up if ya wanna take a look[/hide] [hide=27th June 2007]Another big day today, well for me at least. Tried to get 75 mining today, but ran outta steam and didn't quite make it. Got two levels to 74 though =). Found a random guy in the Al-Kharid mines who had some silver, so i bought it =P. Took a mining break to smelt it and nearly made it to 59 crafting - nearly but not quite.. =( However, I did get a nice surprise when I got 59 crafting cutting the load of gems I had from the days mining. Watched four hours of Battlestar Galactica, i'm now up to Season 2 Episode 14 =), good mining material.. Catch up with you guys later.[/hide] [hide=26th June 2007]Big day today. Started off in the morning, and finally managed to get 70 Strength, only after killing 800 or so more Mossies. Had a few trips back and forth between lumby and crandor, received my order of 500 silver on one, and got food on the other two. Along the way I managed to accumulate a nice number of runes and gems, something of the order of 250 nats, and 30 gems =). Oh, and I got two hitpoints lvls (69) I made a new friend on crandor, Aline J and met a couple of nice players from the Netherlands. Speaking of friends, Deio gave us a scare. He left the clan for.. two hours? Just enough time for us to realise how much we'd miss him ='( WE LOVE YOU DEIO Later, I went to Al-Kharid to smelt some silver, and grabbed a smithing lvl (57), and a crafting lvl or three (58). Had a race to get 57 by the update, and won with 38 seconds to spare. :thumbsup: Having smelted all my silver for now (until I receive my latest order) i'm off to the Al-Kharid mine for some iron ore camping. Didn't get a mining level today :([/hide] Tal Shiar About March 2007, I joined the Tal Shiar Alliance. They are an awesome clan with a great bunch of members. Please Post If you got down to here please leave me a post, even if it's just a hello. I wrote this up to share, and it's no fun if people don't share back. Pretty please? :pray: I have lost friends, some by death... others through sheer inability to cross the street.

It's okay deio, we still love you

good luck mate. 80 rc. phew =D>

come on deio, get your [wagon] into gear and get those levels :-w just cos you pwn me, doesn't mean I can't laugh at your extreme monkeyness. n33b ^^ from taraka cyas l8tr (and good luck \ )

wow, kinda looks like it's all been said.. well, it was a good idea, can't say I didn't try. interesting though that so many mods posted, whereas last time there was only one reply :-k anyways, thankies to all who posted \

=S. Sorta forgot about this, just bumping it up.
