[hide=I]I: Locating the cabbage

 

 

 

Before you go about your cabbage bombing, you will need, of course, cabbage.

 

 

 

Here are some of the places that you can find cabbage:

 

 

 

1) The Main Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: SE Falador/NW Draynor

 

Cabbage: 83 ((7x12)-1)

 

Nearest Bank: Draynor

 

Comments: This is the patch the OoC uses to pick cabbage the most. Features include a tree named John, a broken cart, and the Stile.

 

 

 

 

 

2) The Lumbridge Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: North of Lumbridge

 

Cabbage: 74 (8x9)-2 (Main Patch) + (5-1) (Extra Strip)

 

Nearest Bank:Lumbridge

 

Comments: The old cabbage patch, where the OoC picked in RSC. A plow, a few crows, a Plant, and Bald Spots. We need a cabbage doctor!

 

 

 

 

 

3) The Varrok Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: South Varrock, East of the South Gate

 

Cabbage: 6. Checkered

 

Nearest Bank: Varrock East

 

Comments: Looks like a dead body. Or a fish. Depends which way you look at it. It's very very small.

 

 

 

 

 

4) The Monastary Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: The Monk's Monastary

 

Cabbage: 12 (3x4)

 

Nearest Bank: Edgeville

 

Comment: Very well looked after by Peaceful Monks. Note the flowers growing around it. Living in luxury.

 

 

 

 

 

5) Melzar's Maze Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: East of Meltzar's Maze

 

Cabbage: 15 (3x5)

 

Nearest Bank: Falador

 

Comment: These are the finest warrior cabbages. Waging war with the the vegetable of whose name I cannot speak planted next to them.

 

 

 

 

 

6) The Draynor Manor Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: East Draynor Mansion Ground

 

Cabbage: No Real cabbage. 7 fakes ((3x2)+1)

 

Nearest Bank: Draynor

 

Comments: Evil cabbage. Do not touch. Keep 100 feet away at all times. Rumored to like potatoes. You cannot pick these, as they are respawns. Nightshade, an item used in deadly poisons, may be grown next to them. They do not taste like normal cabbage, and cannot be stacked with them. They are a no-go.

 

 

 

P2P Patches:

 

 

 

 

 

1) Taverly Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: South Taverly

 

Cabbage: 9 (Random)

 

Nearest Bank: Falador or Catherby

 

Comment: Not much here. These cabbages are close to Gunthix, as the druid's worship him.

 

 

 

 

 

2) Sinclair Mansion Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: Sinclair Mansion Grounds

 

Cabbage: 4 (4x1)

 

Nearest Bank: Seer's Village

 

Comment: Mystery Solving Cabbages. They Solve mysteries.

 

 

 

 

 

3) Edmonds Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: Edmond's house in East Ardounge. North of the castle.

 

Cabbage: 5 (5x1)

 

Nearest Bank: Ardounge

 

Comment: In Edmond's Scruffy Back Garden, 5 cabbages lurk next to a hole in the ground.

 

 

 

 

 

4) Grail Island Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: Grail Island, from The Holy Grail quest.

 

Cabbage: 31 Cabbages arranged a bit like a 9 or a 6 and its reflection. No solid pattern

 

Nearest bank: Shilo Village

 

Comment. You need the magic whistle to get here. Not good for picking really, as the nearest bank is far away. Really random shapes. But these cabbages found the holy grail.

 

 

 

 

 

5) Fremmenik Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: Relleka

 

Cabbage: 7 in a line

 

Nearest bank: Seers

 

Comment: Don't know how they can stand it. Well they must be able to because they're barbarians. Woo.

 

 

 

 

 

6) Miscellania Island Patch

 

 

 

 

 

 

Location: Miscellania Island. Step of the boat and you'll see.

 

Cabbage: 91. Scarily bundled together.

 

Nearest Bank: Etceteria (On Miscellania)

 

Comment: Big. Big. Big in terms of cabbages anyway. Biggest in fact.

 

 

 

Well, those are all the places you can find cabbage, have at it :P.[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=II]II: Formulating a Plan/bomb preparation

 

 

 

1) Selecting a leader: Every good cabbage bomb needs a leader. His job is to pick the location, make sure the particpants are spread out enough, and giving the final signal to commence the bombing.

 

 

 

2) Find willing participants: To have a cabbage bomb you will obviously need some help in order for the bomb to be effective. I suggest that you have atleast 6 participants in each bombing to avoid looking stupid.

 

 

 

3) Loading up: In order to have a cabbage bomb you will need some cabbage, naturally. Fill up your whole inventory with Cabbage.

 

 

 

4) Select an area to bomb: Select the area you want to bomb in, preferably a crowded place to be noticed and listen to the shock of the onlookers. Places will be listed in Step III.

 

 

 

5) Join your leaders clan chat: Join the leaders clan chat, and inform all those who haven't aswell. This is an essential step because the signal will be given in the clan chat.

 

 

 

6) Listen to the Leader: Once you have arrived an your prefered area, spread out and make sure nobody is too close to you in order to have an effective bomb. Next, wait for the leader to give the signal in the clan chat, Do not go before the signal!

 

 

 

7) Bomb: naturally, the next step would be to bomb. More instructions on how to properly bomb later on in the guide.[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=III]III: Suggested bombing locations

 

 

 

Here are some great places to bomb your cabbage:

 

 

 

Falador:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Falador is the most common place that is bombed - it's a large city and it's practically next to our patch. Almost always, the center is bombed. Have people go into the buildings, and use the bridge. The park/east bank is also a good place for a scattered bomb as people are always just walking by...

 

 

 

Reload at Main Patch.

 

 

 

 

 

Lumbridge:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lumbridge is usually bombed afterwards. The green areas are good areas to bomb. The entrance to the castle is a good spot for a checkered pattern. The 3 main areas of the Lumbridge bomb is the castle, the courtyard, and the village. With enough people, you can get each area. The Cowpen and the Sheep pen can also be great places to bomb, just look out for all the cabbage stealing newbies! In the past we've done larger bombs that included the General Store and the goblin forest.

 

 

 

Reload at Lumbridge Patch.

 

 

 

 

 

Varrock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because the city is so immensely big, Varrock isn't usually bombed a whole lot, but still can have some potential. The entrances to Varrock and around the two banks are good places to bomb. Like Falador, if you're bombing the center or the GE, make sure people are located around and inside the buildings.

 

 

 

 

 

Draynor:

 

 

 

]

 

 

 

Despite it's size, it has a lot of bombing areas. The major bombing area is at the center, by Diango. Locations at the woodcutters and by the bank are also good places to startle a few passersby.

 

 

 

Reload at Main Patch.

 

 

 

 

 

Al-Kharid:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Al-kharid has many places that are great for huge bombs. The main road going through town is mainly bombed, however big bombs have been done in the mine to the North of the town of Al-Kharid. The area in red is great for drag bombs, which I will cover later.

 

 

 

 

 

Edgeville:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edgeville is quite a petite town, but it is still fun to bomb. The good part about Edgeville is that you can bomb pretty much the whole town with enough people ^_^. The close by Monastary is also fun to bomb now and then, being just the perfect size.

 

 

 

 

 

Karamja (Musa Point):

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karamja can be a fun place to bomb, you have the docks, the banana grove, and the General store/Bar area as the focal points. On the P2P side there are the fishing beach and town area to bomb. The downside is that there are no nearby cabbage patches, but hey, you can hang out and get a tan instead ^_^.

 

 

 

 

 

Port Sarim:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Port Sarim is limited in decent spots to bomb, but it has one big one, the docks. the Jail and Bar are also good fun (and the beer afterwards is just as good :P). And then there is the church for small bombings.

 

 

 

 

 

Rimmington:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah, Rimmington, one of my favorite places to bomb. Some of the plusses to Rimmy are that there aren't much people there, and it has that nice big town center to code in cabs! The Rimmy mine is also a classic spot to bomb.

 

 

 

 

 

Barbarian Village:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Barbarian village is small, but this works as an advantage in thsi case as you can practivally bomb the whole town with only about 10 people, if that.

 

 

 

 

 

P2P Spots

 

 

 

 

 

Taverly/Catherby:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taverly is relatively boring in terms of bombing, but it has the Druid's circle, and the main town area's. Catherby has the famous beach area which is always fun to bomb and confuse all the fisherman :D.

 

 

 

 

 

Burthorpe:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Burthorpe, always fun to bomb the guilds and the game room. You can also bomb the town area if you so feel fit ^_^.

 

 

 

 

 

Ardouge

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ardourge obviously has maaaannnyy spots to bomb seeing as it's so large. The town centers, Castle, and zoo are favorites.

 

 

 

 

 

Yanille:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yanille can always be fun to bomb, not to big, not to small. Favorite spots are the bank, magic guild, and the town area.

 

 

 

 

 

Rellekka:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rellekka, although a bit barbaric (pun intended), can be quite fun to blanket with cabs. It has plenty of docks and open area's to bomb. It also has a cabbage patch to reload in :)![/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=IV]IV: How to Bomb Cabbage

 

 

 

Bombing can almost be seen as a work of art, everything must smoothly flow together to make it perfect. I know your probably thinking Cant we randomly drop the cabbage wherever? The answer is that you can, and feel free to, but your bomb will look like crap. In this section I will tell you how to properly bomb.

 

 

 

The biggest and most important factor in a successful bomb is spacing. If you dont space out much, your bomb will turn out crappy and just look like a red blob. However, if you do space out nicely, your bomb will turn out pretty good. Look at this Diagram as an example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some more examples of cabbage bombs, and what is good and bad about them:

 

 

 

 

Example 1 is an example of a carpet bomb. As you can see, while the minimap is thick with red dots, it covers less than half the minimap, with random sprinkles filling the other half. There were many, many people attending the event (many more than you can tell from the dots) but they didn't spread out at all, causing tons of overlap.

 

(This bomb wasn't OoC hosted ;) )

 

 

 

 

While this bomb covers most of the minimap, the checkered and carpet patterns causes parts of the bomb to look blocky. You can tell were one person's area ended and where another person's started :o

 

 

 

 

An example of how line bombing can be used to wrap furniture.

 

 

 

 

Here the bombers spread out a bit too much, causing empty spaces. Maybe the bomb had already begun to dissipate. *shrug*

 

 

 

 

Example 5 shows carpet bombing around the center, and checkered bombing at the top left and some at the bottom. The carpet and traces of line gives the bomb a bit of a hard edge. Lots of people there so there was probably lots of overlap.

 

Example 6 looks random but I think it's in its later stages and is falling apart. Some empty areas divide different people's areas.

 

Example 7 has line around the building, carpet starting from house portal going northwest, checkered in the south, empty in the crafting store, random middle and west of it, and sprinkles around the edge.

 

Example 8 show random and carpet in a closed space.

 

 

 

This Video that I made shows a well spaced bomb (although its only 1 man you get the point):

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=V]V: Different types of Cabbage bombs

 

 

 

There are all types of ways that you can bomb cabbage, here are a few types:

 

 

 

1) Random (Standard): The mini-map will have red dots (of cabbage) placed in seemingly random locations. These dots gather around a central point in the bomb. This is the most random and the best looking bomb if everyone is able to execute is properly.

 

 

 

2) Carpet: For the most part the carpet bomb is a bit too organized and looks like a block of cabbage put on the ground in a polygonal fashion using a ruler. This pattern is used most by new bombers, or people who have just decided to join into the bombing during our "campaigns". Try avoiding carpet bombing if it makes the bomb look artificial.

 

(An exception to this rule is when you are in a tightly packed area, making it difficult to space your cabbage OR when you have so many people bombing that it is impossible not to fill the entire minimap with a solid carpet of cabbage)

 

 

 

3) Line: Like the name says; cabbages placed in lines. Usually used to wrap around obstacles like walls and furniture. (Try to avoid using these if you can)

 

 

 

4) Checkered: The name says it all. Often used in bombs with few people to cover a large open place. This type of bomb is a nice sight to see.

 

 

 

5) Drag: A drag bomb is a fun game to play, that is also a bomb. You perform a drag bomb by getting 5-6 companions (the number doesnt really matter, but I suggest around this amount) and lining up all facing the same direction. Then, make sure it is a long, straight, flat area with no obstructions to get in your way. One person will then say Go! and you will all bomb in a straight line and whoever bombs all his/her cabs first wins!

 

 

 

Here are a few other bombs for you to gander at:

[hide=VI]VI: Problems you may encounter

 

 

 

Any cabbage bombs enemy is the cabbage stealer. These are the people that see your beautiful bomb and decide they ought to destroy it by taking all the cabs (I guess they think theyre cool or something, I dont know).

 

 

 

There are 3 steps you can take to handling this problem:

 

 

 

1)Scream and yell at the person with lots of insults and censor evasions (hard to avoid but not recommended)

 

 

 

2)Ask them why they are doing it. You will most likely get some what they think is to be witty answer such as cuz I can noob, why not?, but I need them, lol, or the infamous cuz im hungry. (not recommended either)

 

 

 

3)Ignoring them. Ignoring them can be a wise and easy solution, although you can talk to them a bit to slow down their process, trading the person also works. (recommended)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You may also getting a lot of other cool people calling you noobs for bombing cabbage, but we all know that their just jealous. Ignoring these types works effectively aswell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To end this guide I would like to show you all a good quote about cabbage bombing.

 

 

 

Of course, in the end it's not the quality of the bomb that counts, but the amount of fun you have trying to make it as awesome as possible. :)

 

 

 

Well, that ends this guide, I hope that you all found it very useful![/hide]

Special Thanks go out to Dragonah, Ignite 168, Battypenguin, Sunmann99, and Blipo. They created and put together the first guides that I based this guide off of. Also a big thanks to Thing1116 who got all of the pictures of the P2P cabbage patches <3. And thanks to all those that I forgot to put in. thanks guys :)![/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

That is all, Kah bah gee!

[UnknownRemoval]

Sweet, great use of pictures to convey what happens (nice examples :), but I would go into more detail about the actual Cabbage Bombing, whether there are any events (OoC does some?), and give some tips and advice on timing etc.

 

But overall, nice. I seen a few of these before, thought I was going mad. #-o

Any kid can fight waterfiends, kill mithrill dragons, or merchant. But not all of them can do it in the most effective way. Thats whats this guide is about.

[Pirate_Felix]

10/10 no doubt.

All of the compliments are appreciated, keep 'em comin! :D

[Lore]

Easily one of the best guides on Tipit

[Ryuuka]

two words...

 

 

 

BOMBS AWAY!

[AndyPandy]

Excellent guide, more detailed than many guides on here, and it looks like awesome fun!

[totalpwnage]

Definitely posting a link to this thread to my clan's forums to suggest as an event.

 

 

 

I might post my pics of me and my friend's old newcomer map bombing at an RoT barrows event. Its the most fun way to call people noobs :P. (That, and trading level 120+ people and putting up a newcomer map and hitting accept, rofl)

 

 

 

But this is a crazy detailed guide. For something done for pure fun to waste time and all, you really put some good work into this.

Nice guide on a small subject. I'd say 11+/10.

 

 

 

I'd say this would be good for the Archive of Wisdom. :

[duncdar2]

Ha, well then for cabbage locations nice copy/paste... 9/10

Those are all either my or thing's pics, not a copy paste. Gf.

[ajpablo]

Yuck, I don't like cabbage.

[Raawwwwrrrr]

wow, who knew bombing cabbage could be so complex.

 

you've obviously grasped the concept very well, infinity/10.

 

I might even join one of your bombings, do you just do cabbage?
