Let's not sell axe handles!

Featured Replies

Jagex has made axe heads fall of rediculously often. To make matters worse, they are miniscule in size. Last night I was cutting maples in Seers and some louse picked up my rune axe head before I could locate it. He then had the gall to try to buy my handle for 20K.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rather than sell my handle to a head thieve for any price, I dropped it out of his sight, and told him I'd done so after it disappeared. If everyone would do them same, no one would have any incentive to steal axe or pick heads!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's have a boycott on handles!

You could have sold it to him for 20k then bought a new axe for the same price...

Classic bloodveld for lyph3! Although I do like the new ones.

It's no problem to get axe handles: get a bronze axe and chop the best trees you can, the head will fly of very soon and voila! you have an axe handle

20k for a handle?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you can buy a rune axe for 15k? And you get get a handle from chopping with bronze.

You have like a minute to pick up your axe head before anyone else can see it... Which is more than enough time if you are paying attention to the game and not afk.. :roll:

I was actively looking for it. They're too small, and they fly too far.

Look on the minimap? It shows a red dot where the axe lands...

Just look at the mini map for the red dot. It will never fly off so far it goes off the mini map...

The axe head has never flied out of range for the minimap when i've been cutting...

Actually , be weary of this "scam" , alot of these useless axe head thieves watch where your head lands and they stand on the spot , thier white dot cancels out the red dot on the minimap making it quite hard to find your axe head. the "scam" started when people were trying to score a dragon axe the cheap way :roll:

ohh, I've never encounered this... So if you can't see the red dot, check under other players! Good advice :D

What if someone is training firemaking and there is lots of red dots of ashes?

Check them all, it only takes a few seconds... Plus, if you are paying attention, you will see what direction if flies off...

Turn on your sound next time so you can hear when the axe head flies off.

This didn't start then. Back when i use to woodcut for money (before dragon axe was out) someone did this to me. I've seen it happen to others before then as well. It's nothing new at all.

Thats why I keep 7 axe handles and 2 pickaxe handles in my bank so I can pick up free rune axes from those irritating autoers!! And JAGEX isn't banning any of em, eventhough I reported them a dozen times

ya its rough especially in draynor if someone is lighting fires. Your axed head can get lost quick. I d hate to lose my dragon one. They should put just axe heads in bobs shop in lumby even dragon axe heads but not the handles. That way you cant just buy it without buying the axe first or getting from a drop

and its rather hard to spot a cyan lil shape on the floor with some1's feet around if your not actually concentracting on their feet. i know ive seen it.

It's really not that difficult. Check the minimap for red dots, if there are many of them (ex. from firemaking) then manually look for it. You have plenty of time before it appears. I've cut from ~40 woodcutting to 89 since RS2 came out and have yet to lose a single axe head. You're given plenty of chance to get it back...
