What Item Did you Treasure as a Newbie? - 12k+ Views!

Featured Replies

Hey all,

 

 

 

I just had a nostalgic moment. Ever remember some item you saw as a newbie (whether it was someone else wearing it, or found on the floor) which you hadn't seen before, and you immediately thought "wow, I found something worth a lot!"

 

 

 

I know it happened to me, when I came across a potion on the floor. The examine said its useful for spots. I thought it was some rare potion worth a few k. :lol:

 

 

 

So, any interesting stories about weird/useless items which you held on to in your bank while you were a young inexperienced runescaper :-k

edit: fixed title a bit.

First time i found an item and thought it was rare was the second day i played, when i got coal from a dwarf. I was truly, truly, living up to my name when i said "YAY! I found some coal!"

I used to love mining, so my rune pickaxe. I also thought gems were extremely rare :)

I finally killed enough goblins to afford a mithril mace from the mace shop, then I had to kill more to get the 20 attack for it...was so happy when I could finally use it though. :D

I was always a mining addict. Ever since I saw the rune pick, I wanted one. I set a goal of getting one, and my friends were like "you'll never get 26k for one!". But I did. They were all jealous.

 

 

 

Then there was rune armour. The first time I saw it I was like "Omg!! Rune Armour!!"

my rune med i thought it was like a phat then i did in wild in rsc and lost it, i quit rs for a week, lol

Iron dagger.

 

 

 

I was level 9, still picking stuff up, and I found that iron dagger on the ground and ran for it. I thought "Wow this is IRON, I'm ditching this lame bronze longsword". Back in RS1, the wielded dagger looked really powerful but it was in fact weaker than the bronze longsword..

 

 

 

After that, it was a bit about the Mithril Longsword. I spent so long picking bananas and training to be able to use it, it was like getting a whip over a d long.

Pixel sigs by me.

a mith scimmy...lol I couldn't weild a mith one so I sold it for a mith scimmy when I was lvl 18...lol...

When I was a level 3: my tinderbox. :P I didn't understand the concept of general stores stocking them and I couldn't find a general store either, so whenever I found one, I would treasure it. :thumbsup: Later on while I was lvl 20~30ish, full rune. Me and my irl friend had a race to get full rune, and she got it first. I was so jealous

Never take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive.

I would have to say my newbie map, I kept that map in my inventory for a good 6 months

 

finally dropped it when I decided to become a member.

 

Got into member world looking in the stores for a member map.

 

Boy.... was I bummed when I found out there was none. :oops:

 

 

 

BTW: I never knew about the world map on the game until a year later. #-o

my mith scimmy, i thought i was invinsible.

 

i went to wildy with it, skulled and then got pked and lost it lol.

 

i was so gutted.

P2P offers more and better ways of making money than f2p. That's one of the cons you just have to play with if you don't feel like having 1 bigmac meal less per month.

back on RSC, I found full iron and a mithril hatchet on the floor in al-kharid palace. Of course, this was before they put level requirements on armor, so I put it on and I was super happy, best day of my RS life ^.^

 

 

 

Then I chopped down a tree with my axe... I was astounded at how it took only a few seconds, as opposed to minutes :D

Goblin mails, my iron platebody and when i first became a member at level 30, my tyras helm =)

Im back =]

I loved my addy long. My stats were around 30-15-15, and I felt like a baddass wearing it.

I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.
