brad1431 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I dont summon much, but how do you use a Macaw pouch to get herbs, I have NEVER EVER used scrolls, so if that is the answer please explain how to get and use scrolls. THanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Eye Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Simply Summon it. Having it out causes a constant-effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1431 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Simply Summon it. Having it out causes a constant-effect. Interesting, I summoned it for about 15-20 minutes and it didnt create anything? How long til it creates an herb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Eye Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Oh. Well, its constant effect improves the quality of herbs you get from monster drops. So, for instance, if you had it summoned when you were fighting Aberrant specters, the herbs that they dropped would be slightly better than they would normally be. If you want to create herbs, you need to use buy/create scrolls and use its special ability. There's also a chance that it can Forage (randomly find) an herb while you're running around skilling/doing combat, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I want to know about the second part, how do I use it while fishing or cooking to create herbs, mind you I have NEVER EVER used scrolls before so it that is how to do it, please explain how to get and use scrolls, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Eye Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Well, you can always try buying scrolls from another player or from the Grand Exchange. You can also make them yourself; to do this, you would need some Macaw pouches, and then head to a large Summoning obelisk (Taverly, Piscatoris, etc.) Using the Summoning obelisk, you can convert 1 Pouch into 10 Scrolls (so if you had 10 Macaw pouches, you would get 100 of it's special ability Scrolls.) Once you have Summoned a Macaw and have some Scrolls in your inventory, you pull up the Familiar Interface: If you click on the section labeled "1" in the above picture, your familiar will use its special ability. Also, if you're fairly new to Summoning or are still confused, I suggest checking out Tip.It's Summoning Guide: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=summoning_guide.htm :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 One scroll is used every time the familiar looks for an herb. So to use it multiple times you need to make multiple scrolls.

Sy_Accursed Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I feel now would be a prudent point that someone bothered to tell you Macaw scrolls are a waste of time.The only decent use of a Macaw is if your gonna power train on something like Chaos Druids (drops herbs near enough 100%) as it improves the rarity of herbs you get (so you'll get less guams etc and more useful ones) Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you want to use scrolls to forage, you're better off with a fruit bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Yeah Macaws natural foraging ability is rubbish, you're lucky if u get 1 herb in the entire time it is out.The scroll ability is useless too it fails alot and gives naff herbs.

You must have been told the Magpie was better, since it forages items at a much faster rate than the Macaw does. Summon a Magpie, let it chill. When it's about to disappear, dump all its items into your bank. ~It's Super Effective!

ALWAYS use a granite lobster when fishing, it improves your catch rate and forages fish of its own. [hide=Siggy credits]The Awesome, Epic, Amazing, S3xah A-10 Sig By Unolexi!

brad1431 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Do I have to use a scroll with a magpie, or just have it summoned like a granite lobster? And Thanks for the advice, I didnt think it was better, but last night I was fishing monks and I was the only one with a granite lobster everyone else had a macaw, so I wanted to see what it was about.

gorofujita Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Macaw will automatically forage for jewelery i think but in any case it is automatic.And you do not need scrolls. You just summon it, and it will forage things while you are fishing/cooking/skilling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
