Getting strange rocks

[Merre]

Ok so far I've gotten almost all the rocks...

Some only took a few minutes like fish, cook & craft. Others seem to take ages.

I guess there's no time table for them and they're just random but I do have my doubts.

 

Yesterday I was running around 20 minutes in my house, no rock. Some elders here posted in a topic that

a) the rock doesn't spawn in invent, but near the portal (d'oh as I ran around everywhere except near the portal)

B) it won't work if u tele to house, you have to enter your home via the portal...

 

I don't know if this is correct, but in the meantime I've gathered hunter & smith a little bit earlier and now I'm at my house again.

I didn't tele straight to house and I've been keeping an eye on the portal.

Almost 15 minutes have passed, still no rock :blink:

 

Another rock that isn't coming my way is the runecraft one.

Someone told me you don't get strange rocks from making natures/death whatever, but that u had to mine ess to get that one.

Didn't sound logic to me, but I mined 2k pure ess and no rocks.

Then I did 60 (!) runs of nature & death rune crafting, no rock...

 

Any advice here on construct & rc? If I get these I'm done :)

 

Update: after exactly 16 minutes of waiting I got a rock, near the portal. Without sound, the other rocks I got made a special sound the moment the rock appeared. This one appeared in silence, one left for construct :)

I'm personally altaring bones for prayer while I wait for the construction stone

 

fletching ammo, alchemy are also viable in your house

if you want to, you can always have your butler deliver you logs for you to fletch into longbows(u), and just drop the longbows(u) or something

For con, you MUST stay by the portal and you can teleport in if you want. That's what I did, but to be safe, tele to your house, leave and reenter, then just camp by your portal. Alch or something so the time isn't a total waste.

Well I'm just camping in the first room near the portal atm...

Over half an hour has passed after I got the first one and still no second rock :'(

I like it when Jages invents new XP bonusses, but I have to say I have doubts about getting XP while not actually training the skill.

IMO you should only be able to get the strange rock while gathering XP.

Standing in your house isn't my idea of playing RS! <_<

 

EDIT: Ok I just got the second stone after +1hour! Luckily I went to get some alching bows and alched alot in that time.

Anyway, last thing I'm doing now is runecrafting some more. 8 runs so far (2 charged glories) and no rock...

But I won't quit :)

I just got my Runecrafting rocks last night, so I can confirm that you can do it while at the Nature Atlar. The first rock was received in a couple Graahk runs, and the second run was probably received after about an hour of Rcing.

Might be a decent id, since I've been making 1.2k laws & almost as much deaths. Will change to nats I guess...

And btw I hate purple ;)

I really doubt it matters which runes you make, at least the normal ones. And it took me around 3k ess to get the second rock. So just keep doing whatever you prefer.

 

And you lie, everyone loves purple.

easy way to get the rc rock: craft 1 ess at a time. bring a full load and drop what you can carry. craft 1 at a time. for me it was pretty fast
