Blaze The Movie Fan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I went to the RuneScape wiki and this is the description: "When an un-noted item is used on it, it will convert all items of the same type into notes at the cost of equivalent magic notepapers. To use it the chosen item must be used on the magic notepaper and all items of that type in the players inventory will be noted." How exactly is that useful? Usually when I'm training a skill, it's so easy to go to a bank, that I won't need to make all the items in my inventory noted as I can just go to the bank. Can someone explain to me how exactly this item is useful? Making all items in inventory noted seems pointless to me as I can just bank the items instead.

Saradomin_Mage Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Lets you stay at some place slightly longer without having to bank. Frost Dragons are a good example, as they're not that convenient to reach and if you don't have a yak, you can use magic notepaper to stay there longer while you collect more bones. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze The Movie Fan Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Wait a minute, I think I now have it. In the past I found it uncomfortable that I only could kill four steel dragons per trip since I always pick up their steel bars. But with this item I can make the steel bars noted so I can kill more steel dragons each trip. Yeah, that's what I'll try doing the next time I attack steel dragons.

Major Dash Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Why are you picking up steel bars? You'll make more money if you just pick up the bones and leave the bars on the ground. 1 “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”“Mmmhmm.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squakus Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Why are you picking up steel bars? You'll make more money if you just pick up the bones and leave the bars on the ground. It's his play style to partially DIY certain things. It may be more efficient to do things differently (like leaving bars and getting more kills per trip for better gp/hour) but it's his choice, and should be respected as such.

It has steel dragons and an anvil, so you can smith them into throwing knives (or whatever) on the spot. 3 Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If steel titans are ever getting more useful again I might go there (they require steel plates). Surely I can kill 4 steel dragons faster than I would smelt 20 iron + 40 coal into 20 steel bars for example. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmser Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Just my two cents:I've been using my notepaper to bank abyssal charms. They drop faster then I can yak bank them, and they are about 3.5k profit a charm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilute atom Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Do you have to note items individually? or will it note all the frost bones in my inventory?I haven't used mine yet but want to know before I head there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze The Movie Fan Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 You know, guys. It's fine. You tell me there are better ways to use this item, and I do appreciate that. I wanted to know if the item can be used, and you told me exactly that, and I am thankful. :-D Nah, I'm not gonna get upset over any of the advice I got, or ignore it. I might have done it in the past, but I don't wanna be like that anymore. So thanks a lot for all the replies, I do appreciate them. As for how picking up steel bars is stupid. Yeah, it might be a better idea to leave them on the ground. But the truth is I wanna do in the game what I find most fun, not necessarily what's the smartest thing to do. And picking up the steel bars and make them into steel platebodies is a lot more fun than leaving them there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Something to remember in H&A is that more people than the OP are going to read it - so while the advice may be directed at you in some ways, the best general advice also has to be given for the other readers. People aren't saying habits are bad to criticize you, but to help other readers understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
