Taito2004 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ever get confused about the identity of those herbs nestling in the far corners of your bank? Ever wondered exactly what your unfinished potion contains? Well, never fear! We've spoken to the Herbalist of Nardah and put him to work, updating the Herblore skill. The first changes are to unfinished potions. With this update you will no longer have to wonder what potion is within your vial. The Herbalist has examined them all carefully and labelled them up for you. He's also added a new naming convention to these potions - (unf) - which stands for 'unfinished', so you can tell their status at a glance. The Herbalist also felt 'identifying' herbs was not the difficult part of Herblore - it's cleaning! So, your unidentified herbs have been replaced with 'grimy' herbs. You will now see grimy ranarrs, grimy marrentills and other mucky herbs. These require cleaning and a certain Herblore level to do so; the same Herblore level that was required to originally identify them. With no more identifying to be done, you will know exactly what herbs you are receiving from the very start. Your efforts in herb Farming will also produce grimy herbs - giving you a small increase in Herblore experience as you clean them! The Herbalist in Nardah is more than willing to clean up any grimy herbs for you - for a price of course. He has also, for no extra price, trawled through your herbs, identifying and sorting them into 'clean' and 'grimy' batches. Clean herbs are ready for use, whether in potions, in salamanders or anything else you could do with a herb. 92/99 Fishing | 119/120 Combat | 92/99 Firemaking | 94/99 Fletching | 1878/1900 Total | 85/85 Slayer | 80/80 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taito2004 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 This week's update brings the latest Achievement Diary - as chosen by you in the Guaranteed Content poll! Discover a wide range of activities and tasks to perform throughout Varrock, taking you from the Barbarian Village right through to the limestone mine near the Rag and Bone Man; from the depths of the city's murky sewers to the highest point in the city! Get ready to investigate dungeons and spiders' lairs; listen to stories from the elderly; discover Varrock's various shops and experience the very best that Varrock has to offer. With a wide range of achievements for you to complete, you will have your work cut out if you wish to complete every last one of them. Those willing to put in the effort, however, will find themselves well rewarded with a series of useful items for completing the easy, medium and hard tasks. Your skills will be pushed to their very limit if you wish to become a true master explorer of Varrock! Summary Where to start The Achievement Diary - Varrock Speak to Rat Burgiss in the south of Varrock, Reldo in Varrock Library or Vannaka in Edgeville Dungeon Also this week, we find an unlikely pairing of graphical improvements... From Pirates' Cove in the north-west to Mos Le'Harmless in the south-east, pirates everywhere are rejoicing as they unpack shipments of stunning new clothes and fashion accessories. Decked out in their new jackets, tricorns hats, hooks, peg-legs and caps, the pirates of RuneScape have never looked more... um... piratey. So, the next time you're fighting for your life against one of these fearsome swashbuckling seafarers, take a moment to admire their outfits. The children of RuneScape have also been given a bit of a makeover. Check out the slouch of Wilough and Shilop in Varrock, the shifty eyes of the Urchin in Pollnivneach, or maybe the anaemic pallor of Smiddi Ryak as she fights for her life on her Trek to Paterdomus.

tskolar Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hopefully this gets rid of those scammers.. but gets rid of the Un ID'd market for newbies to try make some money.. think this will affect the market much? For Herb Prices.. Actually that was one of the most profitable markets besides rares and semi rares. And regarding prices, i think there will be no major fluctuations in price.

tskolar Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 woot good update and good reward Sophia, what exactly does a "chance" percentige wise mean? If a "chance" is more then 30 percent this could easily destroy f2p smelting ( and mining). Bars and more or less likely ores are going down so i guess this is good news for everyone doing smithing and for all the people who enjoy their crossbows.

Ah well, it gives me something to do on a rainy day.... Good thing is that I actually HAVE to raise some skills to be able to finish it, 70-something to be able to smith an adamant med helm... Good update, rewards seem nice. Other data was removed when acoount got hacked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tskolar Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 so is it smelting 2 bars frm a single ore... or just doing it faster? Apperently u have a "chance" of doing both. And it doesnt say the possibiltiy of smelting faster, i think its the possibility of smithing faster. Again, what does this "chance" really mean?
