Fact: Most places and/or people (Npcs) in runescape names are somewhat a joke.

 

 

 

Example: Sir Amik Varse = Ceramic Vase

 

 

 

Like the island on the south-east of the map 'Mos'Le Harmless' = mostly harmless

member items used to not weigh anything in free now they do

[dspider0]

The maximum amount of money you can have/carry is 2^31 -1.

 

= 2,147,483,647

 

 

 

funny number don't you think? :-k

 

 

 

EDIT: as the next post points out, the number is related to runescape being programed in java. It's not some arbitrary number that was just made up.

 

The money is stored as a "long" in java programming. A long is made up of 32 binary digits, with the first one specifying if the number is positive or negative. This would make 2,147,483,647 be 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 in java binary. Obviously, one cannot be added to this. If you have a correction, feel free to add it... I'm just in year 1 of computer science.

 

 

 

it would also be 7FFFFFFF in Hexidecimal, and 17777777777 in Octal

Fact: Most places and/or people (Npcs) in runescape names are somewhat a joke.

 

 

 

Example: Sir Amik Varse = Ceramic Vase

 

 

 

Like the island on the south-east of the map 'Mos'Le Harmless' = mostly harmless

Or the guy in the Knight's Sword quest: Sir Vyvin--(surviving)

I think that's a reference to "Hitch Hiker's guide to the Galaxy", in which Ford Prefect worked 15 years only to get those two words, "Mostly harmless", written about planet Earth :lol:

 

 

 

EDIT: I googled it, as I've only listened to the original radio series(in finnish too..), and found out 'Mostly harmless' is also the title of the 5th book in the series that Douglas Adams wrote after the radio play

 

 

 

I don't know any useless facts myself though :cry:

[frogmann2]

Boots are always dropped in pairs. No matter what, you'll never get 3 boots.

 

 

 

or one boot :lol:

 

 

 

You can get odd number of boots if you fish a boot while big net fishing or the trawler mini-game.

There are two different types of Cabbage. One comes from a regular cabbage patch. When you eat it, the chat box says "Cabbage, Yuck!" If you eat the cabbage from the black knights quest, it says "This cabbage taste better then usual." When you stick both of them in the bank, it takes up two bank spaces. Different cabbage people, IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!

Actually, it's sorta explained in the Black Knight's Fortress. In Draynor Manor, a witch lives there, and she grows "Magic" cabbage.

 

I heard if you sell the Draynor Manor cabbage to that guy in Zanaris, it says, "You sell a magic cabbage"

It also gives you a couple bonus strength levels. Maybe the witch waters her cabbages with strength potions... :mrgreen:

Cyclopes will be the plural of cyclops. Cyclops's doesn't look or sound right, does it?
