I just got 17k agility xp for winning a race. The race took about 5 min. Also got 216 points. EDIT: Did a second race. Was 3rd out of 5. Received no points, did get 14k agility xp. EDIT 2: Did a third race. Finished first, got 0 xp and 0 points. That's a hefty chunk of xp :shock:

I joined in Spring 2003, and according to Hans I just need 'less than a year' for the cape. Seems about right.

Thanks :). Was wondering when that would happen. My thoughts on this update: Although Solomon is just another way to get money for Jagex, I can't be bothered. This is because there is no ingame bonus caused by any of the items. This is so much better than SOF. The 10 year Veteran cape is horrible. Low stats, lame emote, and the design is just plain horrible. I know several infants who can make better drawings than THAT.

Looks a little like the Guy Fawkes mask worn by the character V in the movie V for Vendetta. Kind of saw this coming, at least for now runecoins only buy cosmetic items, find it odd how they appear over normal clothing/armour though, good thing they banned it PVP. I could imagine now full torva being hidden under the new Solomon shop items :/ That can be done, yes. However, this is not possible in a PvP environment.

I just bought a new piece of costume. The costume aren't items, but just 'clothes' you can activate. You CAN hide your amor / weapons under this clothing. I could easily be wearing a full helm without anyone noticing.

There is more information about Solomon coming soon from Jagex. Question: Why did Jagex release this update when they weren't even ready yet?

It seems like there are a lot of glitches with today's update. Solomon's store is not working at the moment (lol), my max cape can't be customised, some weapons are invisible when equipped. Equipment glitch: I do not know if this is new, but I got an video ad for members when I logged on my f2p account. It was around 30 sec long , and I was unable to close it. The video starts everytime I log into f2p.

It also seems weapons I equip (Secateurs, dragon pickaxe) are invisible.

10 Year veteran cape: Picture of cape (Thanks Urza285!) Solomon: In addition, today's update also brought you the ability to buy costume parts / animations / titles for your character. The cosmetic items, which cannot be found elsewhere ingame are bought using runecoins can be bought using real life cash. The ability to buy the items is found at the SOF tab, and a new 'Customise' Tab found in your Equipment screen. You are able to get 200 free Runecoins once. If you want more you can buy runecoins. There are several packages, but 200 runecoins are being sold for 4 euros / 5 dollars. There is a 10% Member discount on all the items of Solomon's Store. Item prices vary from 10 coins to 16200 coins. Solomon's Great Store FAQ [hide] Why has Solomon's General Store been added to RuneScape? We've seen growing demand from players for a wider range of appearances and more customisation. The new Store and in-game Customisation System does this by offering a greater variety of visual options and by giving more freedom and control over your appearance. What's this new Customisation System? The Customisation System is a new feature which allows you to choose your appearance independent of what regular items are being worn – it's basically a cosmetic re-skin which leaves your original gear intact. It also allows players to override standard gameplay animations with alternate animations. We have also included a means for players to manage their Titles into this interface, too. What are RuneCoins? RuneCoins are a new currency used exclusively for Solomon's General Store. They cannot be traded or transferred between accounts. How can I get more RuneCoins? RuneCoins are available for purchase through the Jagex billing system, accessed either via the Memebers Benefits page or just use the “Buy RuneCoins” button from inside the Store itself. Game Cards will soon be redeemable for RuneCoins, too. RuneCoins are not available through gameplay and they do not exist inside the RuneScape game world. Can I use other currencies such as loyalty points, spins or gold to buy these items? No, only RuneCoins can be used. Why are you charging for items? The new Customisation System requires a lot more development effort per item, and we're also taking longer when making the content to make sure it's extra special. By charging for the items themselves it means we don't pass on these costs on to those who aren't interested in using them. Can I purchase items from Solomon's General Store if I'm a free player? Yes, items are available to both free players and members, with members benefiting from a 10% discount inside the Store. Do I still get the benefits of my regular items, such as stats and other bonus effects? Yes, the Customisation System purely effects the visual appearance of your avatar. All other gameplay elements are unaffected. Can other players see my customised avatar clothing and animations? Yes, everyone sees the effects of the Customisation System. Can I gain a gameplay advantage with the new customisation system? No, definitely not. None of the items from Solomon's General Store affect gameplay and they have no stats, including weapon accessories. To prevent players hiding their real items before fighting others, when entering any PvP area your customisation outfit & accessories are automatically switched off. When you've left the PvP area they will automatically come back on again. In terms of customised animations, all of the same underlying timings and gameplay mechanics apply, so nothing happens any faster or slower than before. Do items from the Solomon's General Store take up space in my inventory or bank? No, rather than being physical items which live in your inventory or bank, most purchases in the Store are virtual items which take up no space. They are essentially an 'unlock' for your account. Through the customisation interface you can activate the wardrobe items or animations at any time, without the need to visit a bank. The only exception (at launch) is the Achievement Banner object which is a physical in-game item which can be placed in your inventory and bank. Can I sell or trade items I've bought from Solomon's General Store? No, Store items cannot be traded or transferred in any way, whether to players or NPCs. What happens to items bought from Solomon's General Store if I die? You can't lose them if you die; they're not dropped nor are they converted to cash. Can I change the colour of these outfits? Yes, a key feature of this new system is that almost all outfits pieces have parts which can be re-coloured. Within the customisation interface you can choose to 'Re-colour All' and change the colour across the whole outfit, or on each section you can individually 'Re-colour' each piece. The preview panel in the store demonstrates which outfit pieces can be re-coloured. Do I need to buy male and female items separately? Nope, as with the rest of RuneScape, items are always for both sexes and when a piece of clothing is worn the correct version is automatically displayed. All purchases come with male and female versions. What if I want to wear a piece of clothing from the opposite sex? You can change your character's gender at the Makeover Mage but otherwise this is not possible. Can I see how my avatar looks wearing an item from Solomon's General Store before committing to buy it? Yes, within the in-game Customisation interface you can preview wardrobe items and animations on your avatar. Can I use items bought in Solomon's General Store, or the new Customisation System, in the Evolution of combat beta? No, these features are not included in the beta program, but when the evolution of Combat launches in the live game later this year both systems will work together. Are you going to add more items to Solomon's General Store? Yes, we intend to add new content at regular intervals. I really want to dress up like... Definitely let us know your thoughts for what wardrobe items, titles, animations, emotes and other things you'd love to see in the Store. We love your ideas and feedback, so please visit Solomon's General Store forum (link this) with to let us know. Can I purchase an item more than once? Currently, all items in the Store only need to be bought once. Having purchased the item you can always access it from the Customisation interface, and they cannot be misplaced or destroyed, so there is never a need to purchase it again. What is happening to the loyalty shop? Xuan and his loyalty shop are popular amongst RuneScape members and they're definitely going to stay in the game. We've been regularly adding content to the loyalty shop and there is now a large selection of items available. We'll continue to assess how the loyalty shop is being used and when it's the right time to add new items. Are items from Solomon's General Store going to be available on the Squeal of Fortune or in the Loyalty Shop? No, we have no intentions to ever do this. Can I use existing cosmetic items inside the new Customisation System? Unfortunately not. The Customisation System is a new feature which needs the items to be built specifically for it, so old items cannot be imported. Are there going to be fewer content updates to RuneScape because the team are making items for Solomon's General Store? The RuneScape team has grown in the last year to add capacity for new initiatives like Solomon's General Store, to keep raising our release quality and to take on ambitiously large projects like the Evolution of Combat. We're committed to being one of the world's most frequently updated games and to constantly deliver fantastic new gameplay content to all types of RuneScape players. Is Solomon's General Store anything to do with the General Store NPCs which already exist in RuneScape? No, this is Solomon's own unique enterprise and doesn't relate to existing in-game content. Can you tell me more about Solomon? Solomon is an entrepreneurial genie of exquisite taste and distinction who runs a boutique shop inside a magic lamp. The Store's motto is "Purveyors of fine goods and ingenious items". It exists in a reality somewhere between Gielinor and our own world. His service includes the shrinking of clients to fit into his lamp, the manifestation of the required item, and the enlargement of the client once they're done – exhausting all three of the wishes that he is contractually obliged to offer.[/hide] The new SOF / RWT Tab. The updated customation part, including a new outfit and the 'open shop' button. Thoughts?

There are accounts with 1 hp and thousands of accounts with 9 hp, I don't see why not. Anyway, no point fixing the calculator so close to the new formula being released. Completly forgot about the new combat formula coming up. It is indeed not needed to completly change the formula for such a small error :wink:

Hi all, Just posting to say there's a flaw in the combat calculator. I have a 9hp account with 8 attack, 5 defence, 11 prayer and 11 magic. According to the calculator I should be combat lvl 10 - however, I am just combat lvl 9. Hope this helps!

Yes. Fun fact: As Ice strykewyrms are weak to stab in Beta, melee is just as effective as fire spells.

Well, one day after the update regarding rares in beta and things have not changed. People are still gambling but now play just other silly games. The players have also found 'new' rares: 3rd age items + spirit shards, RotM boots. Basically everything you can not get for free in the beta and requires effort to get. Some gamblers seem to have given up hope though, as the amount of players online in beta was incredibly low today: +- 200 today, whereas other days would easily have 500+ players at the same time. The beta itself is pretty fun tbh. The combat system is something to get used to, but I like it. I especially love the hotbar: the fact that you can drag anything to it (drink prayer pot, drink overload, high alch, turn on quick prayers.. etc.) All the different abilities make combat much more interesting.

Wait, are you serious? Try it and find out.

Challenge: Use feather with the tied-up girl. :oops: Fun quest, though the storyline was not surprising. The voicing was good, though I think the last voiced quest was better. Rewards are ok-ish.

We had one two days ago. Wouldn't expect one today. Buying spins wasn't announced either..

Fun. For 15 minutes. Additional other news: The ancient staff re-colour is now on sale at Xuan's Loyalty Shop for 4500 loyalty points - that's 25% off!

Sigh... Game keeps crashing after +- 10 sec. It does not matter if I play on high or low detail. Saw that the magic secateurs are now gold instead of green. Also, if you play on fixed screen your actual play window is like the size of a stamp.

Stats kiteshield: I'll be adding Royal parts in a sec. EDIT: Here we go: Seems like same def stats as arma, but with a lower attack bonus. It does have a higher absorb magic / ranged though.

Yay.

Woop, Task Set complete again.

Go to Varrock centre and find out ;)

Small lamp lvl 99 = 8602 xp. EDIT: Oh wait. Thought you said we need..

Allright, got that! Thanks!

Hi all, 1. I'm looking for a DG clan (or any group of people that dungeoneers). I'm maxed in stats (dg 99). Does anyone know some clans? 2. I sometimes see screenshots where people have a dg mapping tool in their RS window. Where can I find such a thing? Answered! Thanks!
