1. how do i msg others??? To message others, simple add that person on your friends list, and then if they are online, you click on their name, and send them a message/ 2. what happen if i lv up attack, str, defense. in other words, wut does each of them do? The more combat skills you do, the higher your combat will be, for example if you do Attack, stregth, and defense, You will end up with a higher combat lvl then if you just did Attack and Strength. (kinda obvous so figured you knew :P ) Also highest possible combat lvl you can get is 126, wich is pretty much all 99's in Attack, Stregth, Defense, Range, Magic, and Prayer. 3. where is a good place i can mine and smith. currently im jumping back and forth from varrock and lumber. is there a city with minein cite, furance, and smith all in one? Mine in the varrok mine, then bank all of your ores. When you think you have enough, then go smelt your ores in the city in Al-Kharid. This is because it is the closet furnace to a bank(when something is close to a bank it's always good). After you smelt your bars, go back to varrok and Smith your bars into items. Consider reading a good guide on Tip It :) Also take a good study at the world map, Really helps out alot :o [/i]
