You need to have finished In Search of the Myrique to use the "Swamp Boaty" shortcut to Canifis. The quest should teach you the route well enough.

In your guides it says that only burned phrin shades give steel keys. That is not true. I have been recently burning riyl shades and they have given me steel key black loop and steel key purple loop. Please fix this so others don't get confused.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[pokemama 3/7: this is true - the top two colours of a key are dropped by the next higher shade. examining the pics reveals that they were originally made to show this, and then someone remade them to incorrectly group the keys together by colour ). This needs to be fixed but I don't have the ability to get the keys spaced properly.]

Perhaps it would be better if we reverse the table so it shows what shade gives which keys?

u can also make mahogany pyre logs at lvl 55 firemaking... anyone who thinks i'm BS-ing should try it themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(NOTE: u can't note the normal mahogany logs, u can only note PYRE mahogany logs. This makes them harder to use)

 

 

 

Whenever making mahogany, always use the oil on the log, not the log on the oil. if u use the log on the oil it uses four doses, and uses three the other way. you can save oil using this method

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have tried this both ways, using the oil on the logs and the logs on the oil and they always use 3 doses - perhaps you were using bottles only containing 3 doses by accident?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as making the pyre logs - well you can make them at a lower level (I think you even get a little bit of firemaking experience for adding the oil to the logs, but I need to check that). However, what you cannot do, till you have the right firemaking level, is actually burn those logs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dont understand the comment about not being able to note normal mahogany logs - I do every time I trade them to people who want them for construction

Vlad that post was 17 months old lol. It was just a left over sub so its been removed now.

in the guide it says it's best to use world 2 or 6

 

 

 

recently w 131 has been running as a 24/7 temple building world.

 

 

 

the word is spreading and it would be great if your minigame guide (and shades of mort'ton quest guide) said w 131 was the best place to go.

 

 

 

this was started coz w 2 is too hard to get into due to the number of traders there.

 

 

 

if your site backed this move it would help make it a lasting change.

 

 

 

i hope this will be considered, thank you

 

 

 

w131 for temple building w00t!

[nozomisen]

Thanks heaps for taking the reference to w2 out of the splitbark mini game guide :D It is very much appreciated :D

 

 

 

Our aim is to have the guide direct people to one world that is never full (preferably w131 coz that is where the temple has been for the past week now, and no that is not my home world :P ) with that in mind, we would like to change the current wording.

 

 

 

At the moment guide reads:

 

 

 

"playing on a crowded world is highly recommended"

 

 

 

To us that sounds like playing on a world with lots of people logged in (eg w2 or 6) is recommended when really that is what we would like to get away from.

 

 

 

Could the wording be changed to something like:

 

 

 

"a large group is required, so check runescape event forums for the current Shades of Mort'ton world"

 

 

 

Obviously we would prefer:

 

 

 

"playing in w131 is highly recommended" :P

 

 

 

Thanks again for considering our suggestions. :D

[Darkblade986 30/4: I'll talk to Kiara or someone about how this should be worded or if it should be put in. I'm not sure if we'll post specific worlds for this exact reason (the world changes).]

[nozomisen]

Thank you again Darkbalade for your reply

 

 

 

Sorry this is a long one but i'm hoping you can take the time to read it and consider it seriously.

 

 

 

I don't know why world 2 was selected for the "official" shades of mort'ton world but it is a frustration. (a quester said thank you to me yesterday because he couldn't get into world 2 and he was finally able to complete shades of mort'ton after 6 months of trying)

 

 

 

I think world 2 has remained the 'templin 'world due, in large part, to fansites directing players to world 2 or 6. Fansites, with their large audiences, have a huge amount of power to influence what happens in Runescape.

 

 

 

As for the "templing' world changing all the time I don't think it does. I think that people at different times get annoyed enough to try and change it. Get it out of world 2 and make it more accessible.. Most of these attempts, as i have been told many times now, don't last long . Mainly because the organisers run out of steam. Their attempt to make a new 'templing' world either crashes or fades away.

 

 

 

We have managed to get a decent number of people into world 131 by spending a lot of time in world 2 asking people to try w131. So far this has been reasonably successful as players will go to where the temple. As long as they know where it is. And right there is the problem. A few players can't reach every player in Runescape not even with a heavily bumped Runescape forum thread.

 

 

 

At the moment there is a window of opportunity to get 'templing' out of world 2 for the benefit all current and future mini gamers and questers.

 

However it needs the backing of fansites, such as tip it, and their huge audience, to help sustain and maintain the new 'temple' world long after the organisers have passed out from exhaustion and supporters have moved on to new Runescape adventures.

 

 

 

For the benefit of the many who can't get into world 2 easily both now and in the future, i beg you, please get behind this current attempt to shift the 'templing' world out of world 2 and support w131 in your guides (and maybe with an announcement or news article too :P)

 

 

 

please Tip It i know you probably have bigger issues to deal with but your support would make a lot of players rather chuffed \

 

 

 

Thanks again for your time :D
