Fishing Lobsters F2P

Featured Replies

i believe there should either be a bank added on the f2p side of karamja or more high level fishing areas on the f2p world.

Light a man a fire and hes warm for a day.

Light a man on fire and hes warm for the rest of his life.

Bank on Karamja - No way. I'm sure Jagex hasn't put a bank to make some F2P fishers want to get P2P. Although a never-dying fire (Like in Barbarian Village, and many other places) wouldn't hurt.

 

 

 

More high level fishing areas - There's a few spots in the wilderness. With the removal of PKing, and with the addition of the Bounty bank, I suppose that spot has become somewhat better. Still not so great either. But anyways, nope, I don't really think it's needed. Sorry.

 

 

 

Basically, there's a reason F2P fishing isn't very good. It's to make F2Pers want to get P2P.

No way for reasons mentioned above. A range or fire might be nice, at least it would stop those whining "fire plz".

I especially hate that. It happens all the time at Karajama and Barb. Village.

GUESS WHAT? The RED SOX and PATRIOTS are awesome, and there is nothing you con do about it.

CURRENT GOALS: Smithing 42/50...Fishing 47/50...Magic 35/33 Completed!! ...Attack 40/40 Completed!!!

I bought bgs 29.1m 3 days ago, sold yesterday at 30m (for those who are mathematically challenged: 800k profit).

 

Insane epic fail....

A lobster fishing place closer to bank than karamja would be good but on karamja a bank? That would make many things a bit too easy i'de say.

But them thar revenants stop th' ole fishin business from bein pro-fit-able.
If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system.

 

Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.

The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."

The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare? Worldwide thermonuclear war? Pie eating contest?

Then perhaps, if not a bank, an everlasting fire by the dock? I don't think that's much to ask, considering all the fishers there constantly beg for a fire.

Yea, eternal fire plz.

"fail,well atleast the title,i wont read it with that colours"

"If you hadn't posted in rainbow I would actually give this a proper read"

"Colours suck."

*I remove colours*

"Where did all the colors go!? This is now 40% more likely to be tl;dr'd due to the lack of colors."

i really think that everlasting fire/range is a good idea, i HATE having to run for logs, because wgen i come back there is always somehow a fire, and as i try to cook my first lob, the fire goes out :( then i feel bad because i wasted all that time getting the logs

What about a deposit box?

 

Now that IS an idea, looking at it. You can put stuff in, but you can't pull it out. This means if you need to pull anything out of your bank for use, you STILL have to go back to the non-wildi mainland. Would help Crandor Miners, and Wildi & Karamja Fishers, but WITHOUT allowing a heavy boost to F2P'ers who were trying to stay out of the non-wildi mainland.

 

 

 

Of course, I wonder, where exactly would these deposit boxes be put for those zones? And would some usable trees be put in wildi near the fishing zone for those who fish?

LOL :lol: ... All it does is make me not want to be P2P, let alone the fact that I can't afford it anyway. Jagex needs to learn that they should not make the free version look like [long bleep - too much swearing] if they want more people in the member version of RuneScape. Why? Anyone with at least half-a-mind will be thinking to themself, "Do I really want to pay out money when the free version looks like this? NO WAY!" ... Smart people don't want to spend money for upgrades to something they think will be just as bad in the upgraded form. At this point, those smart people are well within their right to think this, given the most recent updates as well as the updates of the past 2 years.

Oh yeah, another reason why a deposit box/bank wouldn't really work. In Pirate's Treasure, you have to smuggle the rum off, or whatever. Wouldn't you just be able to deposit it, and then take it out in Draynor?

 

 

 

I'm not sure what happens when you attempt that on a P2P world, with the Tzhaar bank...Hm...

 

 

 

Devnull, I just have to say...You're special. :anxious:

what if they set up a deposit box on the ship to the main land that you have to pay 1k per use

What if the way to the bank was dangerous? A couple of trees like in draynor manor, just way stronger. Something hitting not too often, but in the 7's. That's if you think they shouldn't be trained on, otherwise, just put a few lessers there.

Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can

Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude?

Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you?

Camera guy: still laughing

Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy

Camera guy: runs away still laughing

Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down

and kill the skillers?

 

 

 

 

 

i think that they should have a deposite box that can only be useed after doing the pirates tresure(spelling?) quest.

lobbies are allready worthless compared to a few months ago and now you want to put a bank there also!? :roll:

Also, instead of requiring the completion of "Pirate's Treasure", the one other thing they could do would be to have a customs officer next to the deposit box and prevent storing of the karamjan rum in the bank through there. :twisted:

 

 

 

Okay, penguingeek3, back at you now... what do you think? :-s

Oh, they could just make the rum unbankable. Problem solved.

I'm not sure why people support a deposit box but not bank. It's just as easy to deposit a load of lobsters in a bank then in a deposit box. Unless I'm misunderstanding something.

 

Okay, penguingeek3, back at you now... what do you think? :-s

 

 

 

~Mr. D. V. Devnull

 

 

 

Well...I'm not sure, but I think the rum is used in some other quests...Although adding a little challenge onto those quests couldn't hurt.

 

 

 

So yes, if a bank WAS added to F2P Karamja, then that'd be fine. But I don't support that, for reasons I've already said. And I agree with Yaz, I'm not seeing how that works. Am I missing something?

Well, let's drop in Yaz's thought here:

 

I'm not sure why people support a deposit box but not bank. It's just as easy to deposit a load of lobsters in a bank then in a deposit box. Unless I'm misunderstanding something.

 

And now for what I'm seeing on the issue.......

 

 

 

In short, there have been too many people thinking that having an outright bank in 'Musa Point, Karamja' would make it too easy in some ways for F2P to function in an off-mainland style, and therefore they have opposed it, but were more willing to have a deposit box. Then there are the 'macroer issues' that have been passed around the forums about 50 times or so.

 

 

 

To be honest, however, I would love to have an outright bank on Karamja, if not as far out as Crandor. Any player who is having to trek out to Crandor to do their mining and/or combat training is having to face an outright waste of time right now, simply because of the distance, and it doesn't matter if they are F2P or P2P.

 

 

 

HEY!!! I just had an idea! :idea: ... Why not have the bank as one of those guys, like with the "Bounty Hunter Site", and they're like a special gift for successfully beating 'Elvarg the Dragon' and defeating the "Dragon Slayer" Quest?!?!? Yes, they would have to be located somewhere on Crandor Island, but at the same shot, there would be at least an Automatic Combat Level Requirement through the quest to access them successfully, which would defeat the whole problem with macroers!

 

 

 

Well, people, what do you all think??? F2P gets something at least workable, and P2P gets something rather nice in the same shot, which would solve a lot of problems!!! :-s

Yeah, I can see that happening. It's not that close to the fishing spot, so prices won't drop that much. There are monsters that need to passed to reach it, so that takes care of the macroers. (Skillers too, but there really is no update that can make everyone happy) And lastly, there's a quest requirement. Not to mention it helps P2Pers as well. :D
