No, not "/thread"... This person shouldn't be able to have a "mask" so to say. Thats some pretty good deception rihght there.

Ok this straight up freaked me out. I was doing some last minute crap before getting my daily assists and heading off to bed and this "Mod Mark" pm's me what you see. In complete disbelief I rick click his name and his name is something completely different:

Anything more profitable?

What's the word on the cash-flow if I bought the seeds. used supercompost and farming juju potions? Farming level is pretty much 94.

It was fixed a couple weeks ago.

What are the golden scythe and sock mask items? Are they for RuneFest? Death: No comment. Check my note on The Horsemens noticeboard. Mod Srowley: All Ill say is that youll find out more about them when the content theyre attached to is released.

Hey good luck on getting max cape. You seem to be making some really good progress there!

I was thinking about bringing this up, but I thought about the possibility of Jagex releasing a runefest attendance item for the halloween event.

without quoting a large post with a small one, sir quib, you sir made an amazing statement there. You captured pretty much the whole concept of what I was trying to say the whole time. Edit: thanks for your understanding, all of you.

That might be a possibility. ... And this thread is speculation and not a discussion of something concrete. Don't give me that "wall of text" crap. You might as well have told me to shut up about it.

This thread wasn't created for a whine-fest so I would like if you appreciated it as something more as I have. Also, please do not degrade the purpose of this thread. I didn't bring up this topic to complain or whine because I accept the fact that I wont be seeing a scythe myself. I am aware that there is a lot more to this game than just that one halloween item and have been taking measures to enjoy them. This is also the one reason Why you don't see me making much of a complain on any other shortcomings of Jagex because the amount of content pushed into this game is so vast that people shouldn't get hinged on one little aspect. My intentions were not to express a desire to give people another chance to obtain the actual thing that was released back in 2003 per-se, but to have a chance at receiving the iconic "death" item so many players wanted to complete their holiday outfits. This thread is to discuss the potential release of an item fitting for the holidays, would cover for the GJ win and subliminally cover for re-release of such an iconic halloween item. EDIT: Picture of the leaked image from the Runescape Wiki:

The release of the royal crown and its comparison to the party hats is another good example. I remember seeing all the irritated comments about how all you needed to do was get 91 hunter to get a party hat now... I lol'ed at those people.

Haha :D. Thanks! After Mining I'm going to just do herb runs while doing agility... I figure that'll motivate me.

That is why I think they are making a golden scythe instead of what you see as a wooden scythe with a iron blade. Truth be told I was never aware they performed another drop for that Halloween.

A few days ago I was perusing the RSOF forums and my eye caught the sight of a post made by a disgruntled veteran Runescape player who was also an owner of the holiday scythe. Their post was about a recently leaked item called the "golden scythe" that is rumored to be released soon. This player was concerned that the original owners of a holiday scythe would be undercut by the release of another scythe-like item. Speculations have been raised that this item may be a reward for both Deathcon II's second event on October 29th and Jagex's assumed Golden Joystick Awards win. Ok Now for my two cents: I feel that should this be another scythe-like item that is wieldable I really have no problem with that and will explain my reasoning a little more in depth later on in this paragraph. Firstly let me state I've been playing Runescape since February of 2002 and have obtained every holiday item since then except the holiday scythe. Now it might seem a bit odd for someone who has been playing for so long and who has obtained every single holiday item to not have obtained the scythe. The reason why I haven't obtained the scythe was due to a recent change at that time on Jagex's viewpoint on active players and their retrieval of the (new) untradable, account bound items, the time constraints to get on and obtain these items. Players who wanted to obtain the scythe from that Halloween event had to be on Runescape during that weekend (two day span) and wait for a timer to tick off the next randomized spawn of holiday items drops all across the globe. Once the timer ticked down players would get a message stating "happy holidays" or something to that effect and there would be scythes droped at random spots. At that time of the year Jagex had been receiving large amounts of complaints that players who had not obtained the scythe that weekend were away with obligations to attend real life events such as family dinners, outings, school, etc. So now the issue I see consistently raised when it comes to the scythe is should Jagex re-release this item again because of the unfair time constraints held to players during the Halloween of 2003? Many players want it this way, but knowing how Jagex works they wouldn't want to take away from their players in such a manner and I could see them releasing a golden scythe that would allow players to have an actual scythe, but not the one dropped from the Halloween event of 2003.

And the hunt for an elemental talisman begins... ... And another concrete piece of evidence soul runecrafting will enter the game, rather soon hopefully.

Due to a very generous friend I now gave 99 herb finished. Jeremy decided to give me 340 torstols touse to make up the last bit of xp to 99 herb. With that done now all my assists are going to farming. Also I just hit 98 mining tonight... I must be the laziest skiller as it took me over a week just to get 98. I'm thinking realistically it'll take another week to hit 99 and then it's off to do slayer.

This. If the difference of money being made is trivial, you might as well stick to the faster method. I'm unsure what your goal is, but the faster it gets finished, the sooner you can focus on something else to make up that little difference, or continue mining. Also, I found the gold mining a lot more convenient than coal in the LRC when it came to location. Agreed. If you really wanted to just get 77 mining and mine concentrated coal till 80 then switch to concentrated gold.

Well with my mining suit I get about 66.5 xp per gold ore and 51 xp per coal ore. So I would say about 1/4th the xp slower. Mining here is much similar to woodcutting trees. Only difference is mining level effects how fast you obtain ores.

Get yourself the gold mining suit from the lava mine in keldagrim as it offers a 2.5% boost to all ores mined and the plate can act as varrock armour. Also your setup should look something like this: Helm: Golden Mining Helm > Nietiznot Helm (or best plate armour) Chest: Golden Mining Chest = Varrock Armour > Rune Platebody (or best plate armour) Legs: Golden Mining Legs > Rune Platelegs (or best plate armour) Kite: DFS (or best plate armour) Weapon: Elite Enhanced Excalibur > Enhanced Excalibur Gloves: Golden Mining Gloves > Barrows Gloves (or best gloves) Boots: Golden Mining Boots > Dragon Boots (or best boots) Neck: Skills Necklace Ring: Ring of Kinsmanship In your case, because of no BoB your inventory should have this for the best banking without having to bank too frequently (normally I carry two hours worth of supplies, but you'll have to bank hourly): Dragon Pickaxe, coal pouch, 4 mining juju potions, 1 lava titan pouch. 4 Mining Juju Potions (3) per Familiar Pouch should be the rule. Rings of Kinsmanship is used for fast banking at Daemonhiem and the Skills Necklace is used for fast returns to to the mining guild and then into the LRC. Also mine concentrated coal during southwest rock and southeast rock down times. Mine on w88 as there aren't too many bots there yet and word hasn't spread too much about its popularity. There is a friends chat channel ("mining golds") designated to calling out the rocks down (ex: SWU, SED) and up times on that server.

It is... Don't bother with it. For now just understand that overloads restore 15 levels and help act as a buffer to the side effects of brewing.

Pretty much what your friends saying is you'll still be using restores to recover from your brews like normally, but don't be afraid to over brew because the ticks of the overload restore 15 levels. So really the only reason you'll be using restores is to restore prayer and the occasional time when you're busy fighting and you over-brew to heal and don't want to wait for the overload to tick off. By the way overloads tick ever 15 seconds.

Oh well then I ain't going to use gatherers because thats more work.

Has anyone considered the gatherer ring and xp rates for C2 fishing?

I would like to think so.
