fluxsmith Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodveld Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 You could have sold it to him for 20k then bought a new axe for the same price... :^_^: I drew that smilie, btw, along with a few more used by this site.Classic bloodveld for lyph3!

HaMMerTjE Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 You could have sold it to him for 20k then bought a new axe for the same price... what he said.. now he can buy a iron or even bronze axe, use it till the head flies off and get a free axe..

willyhenriksen Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 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 R.I.P.

jekyll101 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albosky Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 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: I like to fart silently but deadly in movie theatersArd Choille says (11:41 PM):I wouldn't dare tell you what to do m'dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

yurpsie Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzNbLuE Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 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...
