Funny Stuff by Starwildcat Part One: Behind the Scenes July by Randox IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll start with the item that has captured the interest of just about every member and perhaps some of our non-members. The Dragon full helm. The Tip It forums (forum.tip.it) have already produced a thread predicting the stats of this new helmet, ranging from slightly better than a dragon medium, to better than 3rd age and barrows torag helm. With the coming of the Dragon full helm we can expect a serious depression in the value of Dragon med helms. The release of first, Dragon arrows, and now the Dragon full helm are paving the way for the release of the rest of the Dragon armor items, as well as the missing Dragon weapons. Maybe the more dedicated miners will finally get that pick axe they have awaited so long. Some of our readers may be aware that Jagex did once state that they would not release any more Dragon items. Well, the most likely reason for this was to help stabilize the price of the current Dragon items, the Dragon med helm in particular. As many higher levels are quick to point out, the Dragon med helm just doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t cut it any more, there are other helms out there that give you way more bang for your buck. The new Mithril Dragon, the fourth in the metal Dragon series. By the looks of things we may be required to do some quest to gain access to it, but the way itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s written would suggest a Mini-Game like Bar Crawl, which is only done once. Perhaps we can expect more metal dragons in the future, to drop more high end items, maybe even more dragon items, but I seriously doubt that there will be a new dragon for every new dragon item. For all of us who have completed Murder Mystery, it looks like there will be a sequel quest where we clean up whatever mess the inhabitants of Sinclair mansion have cooked up this time (by the looks of it, a hostage situation). It's hopefully a quest of at least medium difficulty, if you havenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t done murder mystery yet, I would urge you to do so now before the release of the quest. After all, you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t want to have to wait any longer than necessary to do a quest do you? The final item to be covered in this article is the sound update. For all you people out there who are really picky about your graphics and audio (maybe not graphics considering circumstances), I can only hope this update makes you happy, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m sure it will enhance everyoneÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s enjoyment of the game, that is assuming you listen to the in game audio rather than your own music. Part Two: Moneymaking by RobinHood Did you knowÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ By bringing different bones from different species of monkeys on Ape Atoll to Zooknock, you can craft Monkey Greegrees that let you transform into that particular species. Did you knowÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ You can get up to 250K Range XP per hour fighting level 142 Skeletons in the Ape Toll dungeon with Red Chinchompas. Short-Term Merchanting Looking at price changes within the last month I noticed that how Ranger Sets used to go for 6.8 stable have since jumped to 8 million gp. While at first the drive in price was seen in Robins staying stable at 4.5 to 4.7 and with Ranger Boots being the determining factor in the price [bleep]e by rising from 2.5 to 3.2. While in the last week, the ranger boots seemed to have hit their peak, and instead Robin Hood Hats have jumped from 4.5 all the way to 5.4. While it may seem like there is nothing left to do since you probably didnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t buy a ranger set that cheap to sell it now, many people donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t realize that it is this after effect that ends up being the most profitable for merchanting. With the price [bleep]ing by one million GP in less than a month, prices are unstable, and numerous merchants are trying to manipulate the price. The price manipulations are used to our advantage as they create evermore doubt on what the ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åfixed priceÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegenerateX Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Let me be the first to congratulate you on another great release for the paper. Glad I could finaly contribute to something like this as well : EDIT: I do however suggest to check over some of the content before the paper is released to make sure it's up to date. For example the Behind the Scenes is taking into question how Jagex will introduce the Mithril Dragons when they have already been released. Sorry if that's just being a bit picky, as I do understand that it takes time to develop the paper and that it may not always coincide with when Jagex decides to release updates.

The reason we didn't release it earlier was because we had some technical problems with the hide button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skill_Caster Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Section 3: Project Onyx Do you remember the Asgarnian Press? That newspaper was the result of a merge between The Gielinor Tribune (this paper) and Onyx Times (created by Skill_Caster). Well, there was a little thing that I like to call mutiny, and we became The Gielinor Tribune again. Skill_Caster has apparently decided to leave the Onyx Times behind him and has made Project Onyx. Project Onyx is a portal, which you can use for easy access to entertainment, merchanting, and jobs. While I admit to making a wise... umm... behind remark on the thread housing this portal, I believe that it is very, very good to have as it is in the only part of the Tip.It Forums that I ever really visit unless using a link on someones siggy. In fact, I've already made plans to use the merchanting part of this portal once I've completed my current goals in RuneScape. Kudos to Skill_Caster for this good idea and great, helpful achievement. I feel so honored :). Thank you very, very, very much for mentioning us in the paper. Maybe a partner between Project Onyx and Gielinor Tribune is in the near future, hmm? :) And the great thing; this is only the beginning ;).

I agree, that would be nice :P But I'm not really sure how that would work, because Project Onyx and the Gielinor Tribune dont really have much in common. If you have any ideas about it Skill_Caster, tell me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegenerateX Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I have an idea. We coulod release articles one by one instead of a paper and have the headlines for each one appear in a RSS box on the side of the Onyx Portal. Or just release the paper as a whole and have the individual headlines be listed in a RSS box.

Skill_Caster Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 It would be rather simply really, we would just expand OnyxNews and add a link/featured article along with 'Powered by Gielinor Tribune', much like we feature recent movies from Chief Film's in OnyxEntertainment.

DegenerateX Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Here's a quick picture I found on google. Basically it's just a box with small headlines which is streamed from a certain server (usualy some news/blog posting site) from which you can click on to see the full information of that post.

PastyGangsta Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Just give project Onix its own website, then you can use more then just BBC code. But you have to keep a thread on Tip.it so we can use the link you would put in it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
