Monday Poll: Why do you use other fan site Quest guides?

[mchainmail]

The only time I had to go elsewhere for a quest guide was in the monkey part of RFD, I could not find the red banana.

[Nopheo]

Other guides have more pictures. When I get really stuck then Runevillage has lots of pictures of maps so I can figure out exactly where to go.

[Chippy_PK]

i use sals realm because my friend makes alot of the guides and runehq cuz they make it clear and i love pictures!

[viral_wulf]

When I use guides from other sites it is because they show up in google search results ahead of tip.it. For example, I search for:

 

 

 

runescape ghosts ahoy

 

 

 

Sal's is right at the top (I believe this is true for any quest) and tip.it's guide is much further down in the results.

 

 

 

Also, when I look at the Sal's URL, the ending is:

 

 

 

/quests/GhostAhoy.html

 

 

 

While tip.it's is:

 

 

 

/runescape/?rs2quest_id=89

 

 

 

It is much easier to tell for sure that the Sal's link is what I am looking for than it is with the tip.it link (sometimes I'll click the tip.it link to find that it is for another quest that requires the quest I am looking for).

 

 

 

All of that said, for the most part, I prefer the tip.it guides and often find myself going back to them when I get stuck while using another guide.

 

 

 

Hope this helps, tip.it is a great site!

i only use other sites when i'm in a hurry and not sure where to find it on tipit--punch what i'm looking for into google, select the first option that comes up. Sometimes its tipit, sometimes it isnt...

[Evil Pig20]

I use tip it for nearly every quest but on a harder quest I will use different sites for a range of opinions on what to do =)

[doomy]

I use Runehq's Quest Guides due to the fact they are easier to understand and numbered.

[r33b0k]

i choose both, tip.it and runehq.

 

 

 

i take tip.it because its relevently fast and easy to do, but for more difficult quests i choose rune hq because they explain it step by step and it seems way more clear to me

 

 

 

BRAVO to both sites =D>

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Fudgy999]

I prefer not to use tip.it quest guides most of the time as they are simply not in depth enough for me.

 

 

 

I think the long paragraphs should be split up and made easier to read and digest. A few more pictures would be nice as well.

 

 

 

Maybe have two types of guides:

 

 

 

- The in depth ones with clear simple instructions

 

- The "helpful" ones which just give you a little nudge and send you in the right direction (The current guides)

[goldenramoth]

Yeah, when I do quests, I normally have tip it's guide, and rune hq's guide, since i can cross reference both for accuracy, since they're both detailed, just in different parts, so i get all the help I need. Rune hq also has pictures too sometimes, which can help some.

[Latinoking]

because sometimes your quest guides suck.

 

 

 

a tad harsh?

 

 

 

I have all the major sites on tabs when I did "hard" quests.

 

 

 

Tip.it, RuneHQ, Zybez, Sal's Realm, and sometimes RuneWeb.

 

 

 

In all my questing none of the the websites have been pefect. They all miss or lack something.

[OldDucky]

I've used RuneHQ Many times Before, and Zybez, and Sals realm of Runescape. The first time I found Tip.It's Guides I fell inlove. Many other websites lag alot, but Tip.It's run perfectly for me. I'm going to stick with Tip.It from now, until EVER lol.

[flying_death_bombs55]

I hardly ever use quest guides, I just do anything until I figure it out. :P (it works for puzzle boxes)

[Vuvuzela]

I mostly use tip.it because it's pretty simple. If i use a different website it would be rune hq because some of the pictures help me out if i'm not going in the right direction of tip.it's guides
