August 26th 2008 - All Fired Up

[timmyx50]

can anyone post a pic of the new Fm gear? i've looked all over and couldnt see any :|

Bucket of water - 'use' - fire???

 

 

 

It's not like a regular fire.

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, this fire has +5 immunity to water.

[Jabuli]

I checked magics with the gloves and ring.

 

 

 

Magic without anything = 303.8 xp

 

Magic with gloves and ring got me 319 xp. I didn't experiment around to see if it was a decimal, but even if it was 15 xp extra on magics would be useful.

 

 

 

 

 

I think that many of the people are underestimating something the adze would be incredibly useful for that isn't woodcutting, firemaking, or even mining related....it'd be pretty convenient for runecrafting with at the abyss!

 

:o Good idea!

 

 

 

You don't really need anything but a pickaxe since the zammy mage always teleports you next to agility or mining obstacles.

 

 

 

Well, I'm not really sure if some people use other obstacles but I don't really see a reason to use a longer route.

Already posted this, but whatever.

 

[timmyx50]

alright, thx

 

looks so hawt.

 

(get it? its a pun! :lol: )

[snowball]

^ *groan*

 

 

 

I checked the runescape wiki right? it says this

 

[hide=adze is firemaking pwnnage]While Woodcutting, the Adze has a good chance of instantly incinerating a log as you cut it. If this happens, the log disappears, and you are given the normal experience for cutting it but only half the normal experience for burning it.

 

 

 

There is speculation that when Mining it may smelt some ores instantly, but this is unconfirmed. [/hide]

 

 

 

also, it says that you can put all the logs in place first, then light them. however, it is a wiki, so take it with a grain of salt

[andufusthebronze]

^ you can put all the logs in, even log out, log back in, and then light them all.

 

 

 

Just to give you an idea of how regularly it incenerates logs

 

 

So if you're doing mages/yews, I'd recommend sticking to a D axe, but for people powering it, it's perfect. :D

[Twiceborn]

do you have to have it equipped or can it be in your inventory???

0_o omg i NEED 92 fm now

[jessy87]

anyone check the FM exp for the 2 Pyre log games? with all this new stuff.

[tintin113]

I really thought that no quest would ever be easier or less quest-like than the summoning intro one lol, but I think this just about does it! Takes 5 minutes if you're slow! \

[Danqazmlp]

What im wondering is does doing thisminigame give any decent exp? If you light up all your best beacons simultaniously you do get a fair amount of exp, think i got like 15k from doing the first 7, but im wondering if this can be sued to train or not?

[snewham]

Do magic logs make them last longer than say maple? and what kind of time difference am I looking at?

 

 

 

thanks

Yes magic logs last longer, for some reason I'm feeling the exact times might depend on fm level.

No they don't -.-

Actually it depends on just the wood type. Blaze says normal logs last 10 minutes, and magic logs last for 20 minutes if you ask him if types of trees matter after the quest.

[The Observer]

I might put my 99 Firemaking to the test. When I become a member of course. Whenever that may be...

[XxTearGodxX]

Beacon Lighting = RIP OFF!

 

 

 

My Starting Experience: (Before I put 20 MAGIC LOGS into the Beacon & lit it on fire). 2,892,373.

 

 

 

My Ending Experience: (After I put 20 MAGIC LOGS into the Beacon & lit it on fire). 2,894,281.

 

 

 

What my Ending Experience should have been: 2,898,733.

 

 

 

318 x 20 = 6,360 exp now 6,360 + 2,892,373 = 2,898733. I'm missing 4,452 exp

[Aneron]

just lit all 14 with yew logs (giving the first 7 people 5 logs to keep it going) and got my adze lol. may train woodcutting now.

 

 

 

if I'd known normal logs last 10 minutes I would have done those haha

 

 

 

the adze is nice, and the other gear is fairly useful too, but I'd hoped for more than a one time marathon out of this update... oh well can't complain, firemaking just got its first update ever since shade burning lol (barbarian firemaking and firemaking familiars worse are worse than the regular way so they don't count )

[gspbeetle]

 

In other news...

 

 

 

Various dyes have had their Grand Exchange price ranges adjusted to allow for a built-in 'delivery' cost. This compensates those players who have taken the time to gather dyes in larger quantities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

huh? only dyes? how about other stuff? GE price must be around shop price is a stupid idea to start with anyway..

 

 

 

Stupid jagex, we want FREE TRADE!!!

 

 

 

Take that stupid price celing and price floor away!

[Suiku]

 

Stupid jagex, we want FREE TRADE!!!

 

 

 

 

No we don't, LOL

[Chicken102]

 

Stupid jagex, we want FREE TRADE!!!

 

 

 

 

No we don't, LOL

 

EXACTLY, with the Free Trade back, not only will macroers be at charge yet again,

 

but Item scamming will come back :shame:

Let's put it this way. You can have your free trading back, but in doing so will RuneScape will be forced to close. Harsh reality, I know, but they will be sued with Credit Card Fraud, and other economical problems.

 

 

 

On Topic: Not a bad reward for such an easy quest, pity I am not a member though.

[killotroll]

Beacon Lighting = RIP OFF!

 

 

 

 

What?

[cat666]

Yes we do want free trade back, just without the scamming and RWT.

 

 

 

GE is perfect, just remove the price ceilings, or increase them to a decent level. The RWT's won't be able to use it to transfer money/items to specific accounts and the players will then set the costs again.

 

 

 

There are too many items which just won't sell due to the lowest price still being too high (high alch price). If people want to sell these for less than the alch price then they should be allowed to. It doesn't feature in the cost of the nature rune anyway, so what's the issue?
