Runescape Cheats And Hints

Runescape Rules - Rule 7 - Using Third Party Software

2007-10-22T09:52:00.000-07:00

Rule 7 - Using Third Party SoftwareEffective date: 7th March 2007You must not use other software to gain an unfair advantage in the game. This includes automation tools, macros, bots, or auto-typers. You may not circumvent any of our mechanisms designed to automatically log out inactive users.You also must not use any RuneScape-specific third party software which encourages breaking of our rules, or bypasses the normal navigation of our website, or automatically requests pages from our website, or which endangers user accounts.
Related QuestionsBelow are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.
Why do we have this rule? First, we don't want players to download third party RuneScape software from untrusted sources that can, and often do, contain keyloggers, trojans and viruses. Many players have had their accounts stolen because they have inadvertently installed hacking software on their machines. Even if the author has good intentions, an unintended flaw in their software could still put your account at risk. Even some supposedly reputable software has had problems in the past. There are also cases of people deliberately writing software which looks like a cool RuneScape add-on but actually just steals your password.Secondly, macroing ruins the game for everyone else. We don't want some players having an unfair advantage and filling up all the best training spots with bots. This game is designed to be enjoyed by humans, not bots. In the past, when we have not enforced this rule, we have rapidly found it quickly spoils the game, and players themselves start demanding that we enforce it. So now we enforce it thoroughly.
What type of third party software is NOT allowed? This includes, but is not limited to the following third party software:
Software that attempts to communicate directly with the RuneScape game worlds.
Software that monitors, modifies or decrypts the communications between the RuneScape applet and the RuneScape worlds.
Software that generates input to the RuneScape applet. This includes software that automatically moves the mouse pointer or generates mouse clicks or key presses.
Modified or replacement versions of the RuneScape applet. Reverse engineering the RuneScape applet is strictly prohibited. Using a modified version of the RuneScape applet is not permitted for any reason. Third party software that displays pages/content from our website(s), and which has RuneScape specific features (i.e. RuneScape toolkits) must not be used to access our website unless that software conforms with all of the other rules, and the following additional rules:
It must not encourage rule-breaking or endanger users.
It must not contain adverts or links to websites which encourage rule-breaking or endanger users.
It must not automatically make repeated page/content requests from our website or otherwise make excessively bandwidth intensive requests from our servers (each page/content request should only be in direct response to a user request each time).
It must not bypass the normal navigation of our website for users wishing to reach the game worlds. The software should initially only point at the front page of www.runescape.com, and should require the user to navigate through the website normally to reach the game worlds. The software must not contain or acquire direct links to our "Select a world" page, or to our game world pages, or to the RuneScape applet.
It must not hide or encourage the hiding of any of the adverts on our website. To avoid encouraging users to hide the advert above the game the pane displaying pages from our website must default to at least 630 pixels high (if viewed on a screen with a resolution higher than 800x600), and it must not be possible to resize it to less height than that. i.e. the page must be displayed in such a way that both the game and advert are fully visible at the same time.
It must not attempt to make it easier to enter a busy RuneScape world than it would be for users not using the software. It must not allow worlds marked as 'FULL' on the world select page to be selected. It must not contain any features to make it easier to enter or monitor busy worlds.
If the software has its own integrated chat feature, separate from the RuneScape chat, it should make it very clear to users that this chat is not part of RuneScape and is not official, endorsed or moderated by Jagex in any way. Furthermore, this chat should still be moderated (just not by us), and the moderators should not allow chat which infringes our rules of conduct. To avoid confusion with the official RuneScape chat, moderators of the external chat should not be indicated with a silver or gold crown. If the chat is IRC based, then the software should only allow access to IRC channels which conform with the above. In any case, the use of such software is not recommended. We do not recommend the use of ANY 3rd party RuneScape-related software as it is potentially extremely dangerous. Please be aware that there is software out there which claims to be a cool RuneScape add-on, but actually installs a keylogger on your computer and steals your password! You should also be aware that there is dangerous software around that won't necessarily be spotted by your anti-virus software. Scanning downloads is, of course, a very good idea, but it still doesn't 100% eliminate the risk.
What do you mean by "software"? Software means any type of software, including: downloadable software (e.g an .exe file), or web-based software (e.g a website set up to perform a similar function with flash, java, javascript or serverside scripts).
How does the new macro detection system work? Our new macro detection system monitors activity on our servers and detects suspicious behaviour. This evidence is reviewed by our team of experts who either confirm or reject the system's analysis. Jagex will not reveal the exact mechanics of how this system works because this would make circumvention easier.
Will I be able to appeal against a ban for macroing? Our policy has always been that we do not tolerate any form of cheating. We do not ban accounts lightly. Significant evidence is always collected before any action is taken against a player. We will not reveal the evidence that we have collected, since most cheats only want to know the evidence so that they can avoid getting caught the next time.
What is AFK Training? AFK training is Away From Keyboard training. While you are playing on RuneScape, you must be at the computer. Away from keyboard training is not allowed, and you should log out when you leave the computer.To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow this rule. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned. Members who are banned for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.

Runescape Rules - Rule 6 - Account Sharing/Trading

2007-10-22T09:51:00.000-07:00

Rule 6 - Account Sharing/Trading Effective date: 16th January 2007

Each account should only be used by ONE person. Account sharing is NOT allowed.You may not sell, transfer or lend your account to anyone else, or permit anyone else to use your account, and you may not accept an account that anybody else offers you.
Related QuestionsBelow are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.
Why do we have this rule? We have this rule for two reasons:
Firstly, many of the accounts people try to sell are actually accounts they have stolen, so, by buying the account you are helping them profit from their crime, and encouraging them to do it more!
Secondly, this rule is for your protection, as people who share accounts run the risk that the person using the account won't give it back, or that the person will break a game rule causing your account to be banned.
What about swapping my account with another player? This is considered account trading, so it is not allowed under the game rules.
Can I sell the 'time' I have put into the account? No. Under the game rules each account should only be used by one person. This applies throughout the lifetime of that account. In order to sell the 'time' you have put into an account, you would have to transfer or lend the account to someone else, thereby breaking the game rules.
My 'brother/sister/friend/other' borrowed my account and broke a rule and now it's banned: Please can you unban it? Account sharing is not allowed, so if you break this rule and do so anyway you will be responsible for the consequences. The offence won't be removed because you shouldn't have let someone else use your account in the first place.
I share my account with a family member and/or friend, is that allowed? No, this is not allowed. Sharing your account with anyone, including family members and/or friends, means that you are breaking a game rule and can lead to your account being banned.
I have seen an account for sale on Ebay, what should I do? Please rest assured that members of Jagex staff check all known auction sites on a daily basis to ensure that no RuneScape accounts are sold via online auctioning web sites.It should be remembered that all accounts (and items) remain the property of Jagex at all times, and we will not hesitate to remove such items from the game if we have evidence that rule breaking has taken place.To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow this rule. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned. Members who are banned for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.

Anyone who does not have a gold crown next to their name is not Jagex staff. This applies to both private chat and general in game chat.
Related QuestionsBelow are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.
Why do we have this rule? We have this rule in place so our players can identify members of Jagex staff and to ensure that players can trust members of our staff for help and support with any game related problems they may have.
Someone claiming to work for Jagex has asked me for my account details. Should I give it to them? There are three ways to recognise Jagex Staff:
Jagex Staff characters always have gold crowns next to their names.
Jagex Staff will never ask for a password.
Jagex Staff will never contact you about your account in game.We have no 'undercover' staff, we have no need for your password to check your account, and we only communicate with players about account issues via their message center.If you ever see anyone attempting to impersonate a Jagex Staff member or any other player then we would ask you to use the 'Report Abuse' button located at the bottom of the screen, and follow the on screen prompts so that we can take the appropriate actions against their account.
If Jagex Staff have gold crowns, who are the players in-game that have silver crowns? The players that have silver crowns by their names when speaking in-game are Player Moderators. Anyone that does not have a silver crown next to their name is not a Player Moderator.For more information on Player Moderators please see the Player Moderator section in Customer Support.To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow this rule.

Runescape Rules - Rule 4 - Cheating/Bug Abuse

2007-10-22T09:48:00.000-07:00

Rule 4 - Cheating/Bug Abuse Effective date: 16th January 2007

You must not use or attempt to use any cheats or errors which you find in our software.Any exploits which you find must be immediately reported to Jagex through Customer Support.
Related QuestionsBelow are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.
Why do we have this rule? We have put a lot of effort into balancing the game to make it as fair and fun as possible.Unintended bugs can spoil the effect of the game, so we obviously want to fix them as quickly as possible. Deliberately taking advantage of a bug can unbalance the game economy or devalue other players' achievements, so it is against the rules.
What if I find a bug by accident? I don't want to get banned for accidentally discovering a bug! As long as you report the bug to us straight away, don't tell anyone else until we fix it, and don't use the bug any more, then you WON'T get in trouble. Indeed, we will be very grateful. If you don't tell us, or deliberately use it again and again, then you would be breaking the rule.
How do I report a bug? You can report a bug by going to the RuneScape homepage and clicking on Report a bug/fault in the Information and Advice section.When filling out the bug report form please make sure you include as much detail as possible. This will help us find the bug and fix it as soon as possible. After the form has been filled out it will be sent to a member of Jagex staff to investigate. Please note that Jagex do not give rewards to players that report bugs.
Where can I view bugs that have already been reported? By going to the bug reporting system in the Customer Support section of the RuneScape website you will see a list of bugs that have already been confirmed. You will be able to see if the confirmed bugs are waiting to be fixed, fixed awaiting to be uploaded, or already fixed. Please note that if we feel that a bug will encourage bug abuse it will not be posted on this list. Please do not report bugs that are already on the confirmed bug list.
Are there any cheats for RuneScape? There are no cheat codes available for RuneScape, nor do we have any intention of adding any to the game. All gains have to be made fairly and via honest game play: any usage of cheats or bugs, or attempting to discover the existence of any cheats or bugs, is a direct violation of the Rules of Conduct.Please do not send in requests for such information. If you do so, your account could be banned for attempted cheating and/or for Misuse of Customer Support.To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow this rule. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned. Members who are banned for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.

Runescape Rules - Rule 3 - Password Scamming

2007-10-22T09:46:00.000-07:00

Rule 3 - Password Scamming Effective date: 16th January 2007

Asking/trying to persuade another player to give you their password for any reason is against the rules and will not be tolerated.
Related QuestionsBelow are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.
Why do we have this rule? This rule is in place to protect our players' accounts. Even if you genuinely only wanted to 'borrow' their account we obviously can't tell the difference between this and a malicious person stealing accounts. So asking other players for their password will be treated VERY seriously.
What if I try to get someone else's password but don't succeed? Have I still broken the rule? Yes, you have still broken the rule - even if you aren't successful this will almost certainly result in a permanent ban being placed on your account. You shouldn't even be trying to get someone else's password!
What if I ask in a different language? The rules apply equally to all languages, therefore you will still be breaking the game rules.
I have submitted a Password Request because I have forgotten my password. Why has it not been actioned yet? You must submit sufficient accurate information to Customer Support in order for us to issue you with your password again. If we feel the information that you have supplied is not adequate for us to consider you the original owner of the account, then we will not give you control of that account.Please do not send in multiple password requests with inaccurate information to Customer Support, unless you want to present new additional and highly compelling evidence that you are the owner. If you do so this may be deemed a misuse of Customer Support, which may then be withdrawn from your account.
Someone has asked me for my bank PIN. Is it all right if I tell them? Asking for someone's bank PIN is just as serious as asking for an account password. It allows other players access to your account. Under no circumstances should you tell another player your password, PIN number or any other personal details of your account.To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow this rule. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned. Members who are banned for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.

Runescape Rules - Rule 2 - Item Scamming

2007-10-22T09:44:00.000-07:00

Rule 2 - Item ScammingEffective date: 28th March 2007

You must not scam or deceive other players. Lying to other players for your own personal gain is not in the spirit of the game.
Related QuestionsBelow are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.
Why do we have this rule? We have this rule to help protect new players, and to help prevent the game being spoilt for others. If you don't understand why we have this rule then try to imagine how you would feel if you had spent hours achieving something and somebody else had then tricked you out of it. We want RuneScape to be fun, and being scammed is anything but fun.
What does 'scam' mean? To 'scam' means to cheat another player during a trade. Lying to other players for your own personal gain is not in the spirit of the game and will not be tolerated.
Is it a scam to claim an item is rare when it isn't? Yes
Is it a scam to switch items at the last second before pressing accept, and hoping the other player won't notice? Yes
Is it a scam to ask for lots of money for an item? It is not considered a scam to ask for large amounts of money for an item, but it is not in the spirit of the game to over price an item.It is not our intention to set limits on what players trade. It is a player's responsibility to make sure that they are paying a good price for an item.We would suggest doing research prior to future trades by using the Runescape.com Marketplace forum or talking to other players.Remember, the second trade-window is there to keep you safe from scammers. If someone is not giving you enough time to check the items being traded then we would strongly advise you to find someone else to trade with. Do not hit the 'Accept' button in the second stage of trading unless you are totally satisfied with the trade. You will not get in trouble for scamming if you choose to take your time and check that everything is as it should be.
If someone picks up my arrows is that scamming? No, if someone picks up an item that you have dropped because you no longer require the item then this is not item scamming. When you drop an item it takes a short length of time until it becomes visible to other players, so even if you drop the item accidentally you can still retrieve it again before anyone else has the chance to pick it up.You may not drop items with the intention of trading them to another of your characters. This type of drop-trading is against Rule 8 in the Rules of Conduct.
Can you trim armour? No, no one can trim armour. Armour that is trimmed has been found in-game as trimmed armour. There is no way a player can trim e.g. Asking for Rune armour to make it trimmed.
What are some examples of item scams? Some examples of item scams are:
Offering an item and then removing the item within the first or second trade screen.
Offering an item and changing the agreed price within the first or second trade screen.
Misleading players by providing false or inaccurate information, for your own personal gain.
Luring players into the Wilderness under false pretences.To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow this rule. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned. Members who are banned for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.

Runescape Rules - Rule 1 - Offensive Language

2007-10-22T09:40:00.000-07:00

Rule 1 - Offensive LanguageEffective date: 2nd May 2007

You must not use any language which may be considered offensive, racist, obscene or otherwise inappropriate. This includes swearing.If you suffer serious abuse such as receiving racist remarks, harassment or obscene and vulgar language, please report them to us using the in-game Report Abuse button which can be found at the bottom of the game window.
Related QuestionsBelow are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.
Why do we have this rule? We have this rule to maintain a pleasant environment in the game. For many people it's not much fun playing if there is someone else being rude or offensive, so please consider others when chatting. Also please remember that not everyone playing is the same age or from the same background, so may be more offended or upset than you expect.
What do you mean by offensive or inappropriate language? This includes (but is not limited to): discussion of recreational drugs, sexually explicit language, solicitation, racism or other prejudice, threatening, blackmail and swearing. It's simply a matter of common sense - try not to say anything that someone might find offensive.
Is it okay to ask for a boyfriend or girlfriend in RuneScape? No, that is solicitation and is not allowed at all. This is to ensure the safety of all our players.
What about mis-spelling an offensive word to disguise it? Is that okay? No, please don't do this. In fact, mis-spelling an offensive word or using symbols to replace letters to avoid the chat filter is considered even worse.
I was called a 'noob'. Is this offensive? Should I report this player? Calling other players a 'noob' is quite common in most online games.It's not something to worry about as it means 'new player'. Every player has to be a 'noob' at some point.The best thing to do is to ignore it.
What is flooding the chat window? Spamming/flooding the chat window is to fill the chat window with unnecessary text. This is also an offence and is disruptive and unfair on other players as it makes it more difficult for them to communicate and trade with each other.To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow this rule. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned. Members who are banned for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.

Cheats On Runescape?

2007-10-22T09:32:00.001-07:00

Looking for cheats? It won't work there are none! The only ways to ''cheat'' on runescape are through servers outside runescape.com or macro bots or autoprograms.

If a website ever promises you a free autobot or autoprogram it will NOT work and end up hacking your own runescape account.

If someone states that they can get you to level 99 by you sending them an email with your username and password do NOT believe them and do it. They will hack your account and make you look silly. This is a very common way to scam people.

IT IS POSSIBLE to go on to private servers. It may be againt the runescape rules but oh well it's just a game. A website I find works in Moparscape.com.

Thanks For reading! Please enjoy the rest of the website responsiblly.

1) A Brief Introduction...-----------------------------In the Beginning, I started playing RuneScape & I was struggling to get bybefore I made a stop at Game FAQ's to get some guidance. Unfortunately, anyuseful information I found was sparse & incomplete... but it was enough tohelp me out. About two months after I started, I started to compile my ownguide to help others who are having the same difficulty learning RuneScape.First of all, you'll need to have the following in order to play the game.* A recent version of your favorite Browser * Internet Explorer 6.x or higher * Netscape 7.x or higher * Firefox 1.5.0.x or higher* Java Runtime Environment -- Obtainable at www.java.com* 300 MHz Processor MINIMUM (If you can run XP, you should have this covered)* 64 MB's of RAM MINIMUM (If you can run XP, you should have this covered)* An online (Modem) connection (as this is an ONLINE game)To really enjoy the game, you should have the following:* Recent version of your favorite Browser (as listed above)* Java Runtime Environment (as listed above)* 500 MHz Process or faster* 128 MB's of RAM or higher* A Broadband connection (for better gameplay & less lag)* A Decent Sound Card (preferable with Quicktime stuff as well)Please be aware that RuneScape can be played using any computer on any OS that has Java installed on it. If your computer is running Mac OS 9.x or lower, you'll need to adjust the controls to support a one-button mouse (Mac OS X doessupport 2-button mice).I should note that RuneScape will be laggy (or SLOW) during major holiday events& whenever they release major upgrades to the game client. "Holiday Lag" onlyoccurs during the first 48-72 hours of the event as everybody scrambles to getthe latest holiday items (which are only avaiable for a week around the event)."Upgrade Lag" only occurs during the first 24 hours of the update as everybodywill be picking up the new version to store in their browser cache. Upgrades tothe game are usually announced in the news section & I suggest that you take aday off after major updates for minimal impact.Before you actually venture into RuneScape, you should have a general workingknowledge of Cyberslang & jargon online as you'll most likely run into themin the game.2) The Laws of RuneScape---------------------------Before you actually register or login to the game, the makers of RuneScapehave devised some rules to make the game enjoyable to everybody. If you wantto play RuneScape, you have to acknowledge the rules & abide by them.1) Only ONE ACCOUNT may be on each world at any given time. Even though Runescape allows players to make multiple accounts, those accounts can NEVER MEET on a single world at any given time. Anybody who breaks this rule will have both (or all) their accounts banned. When you create an account, IT'S YOURS FOREVER! REGARDLESS ON WHAT YOU DO WITH THAT ACCOUNT, YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT FOREVER!!! This law means that you cannot create an account to trade, sell or load up with items. The staff of Runescape do not want item mules on their servers at all! This law DOES NOT MEAN that you cannot have a LAN Party, just as long as everybody are using their own accounts.2) Do not give your password NOR your Bank PIN to anybody! Like I really have to tell you why, but the password & the Bank PIN are the only things that are keeping people OUT of your account & items. This law means that you cannot try to scam anybody out of their passwords NOR their Bank PINs! Doing so will get you banned!3) DO NOT SELL NOR TRADE YOUR USER ACCOUNTS! The two laws listed above already make the point, but this law has to be addressed because people do it. There are extremely serious problems that arise from this! First of all, ALL ACCOUNTS you made belong to you! Therefore, you're responsible for actions performed on that account! Even if you choose to sell, trade or even give your account to another person, YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE for that account! Second, it's just too easy for the person to reclaim their account by changing the password and/or Bank PIN on you & could take weeks before the original owner reclaims the account (granted they fill out the recovery stuff on their account). Third, the multiple accounts on the same world will get you in real trouble!4) Treat the chat system like it's a real chat room. This law is pretty big, but the gist of this law is to keep the chat system working for everybody. First, this means NO SWEARING! Runescape is a "Family Friendly game & swearing is VERY OFFENSIVE to some players. Player who happen to slip a swear word in (even by accident), will have that word censored out. Don't bother bypassing the censors because that's against the law of Runescape. Please be aware that the swear censor is pretty aggressive, so any character arrangement that contains a swear word will get censored as well. EX: "Hand me that bit, chuck" = "Hand me that *******uck" Second, no website addresses are allowed either. This is more of a security reason because the staff of Runescape don't want players visiting "poisoned sites" (sites that contain viruses, keyloggers or any other security bypass programs) or porn sites. Major key elements of websites are censored, so don't try bypassing this either. Third, NO SCROLLING OR FLOODING THE CHAT WINDOW! This rule is just a standard chat rule. Those who disrupt the chat window by constantly posting the same thing over & over in quick repetition will annoy everybody around them. THIS IS A REPORTABLE OFFENSE, BASED ON THE DEFINITION OF LAWS! In short, remember the Rule of Three (Do not post more than THREE lines in a row). Please be aware that this ALSO APPLIES to the PM system! So don't cycle your PM permissions either, as "PM Flooding" is a reportable offense as well.4) DO NOT SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF ITEMS! Scamming, by the Laws of Runescape, is obtaining items through false pretenses. The staff of Runescape have created a secure trade system to reduce the risk of scamming, but there's still scammers out there. Here's a few examples on what's scamming. 1) Offering non-existant items or services (like Armor Trimming). 2) Quickly switching items on a person at the last minute. 3) Trading without using the secure trading system. 4) Begging for items that you don't need. The last example there is a personal addition, but I just can't stand people who take advantage of the generosity of others who are trying to help the true newbies (who can use a help hand). People who beg for items suck the goodwill out of the people who want to help others; The Goodwill that the game could really use to make it a great game.5) No False Representation allowed! This is a dual-purpose Law of Runescape. First of all, you're not allowed to impersonate any staff member, INCLUDING MODS! First of all, Mods & staff members have a special crown-like badge next to their names. Second, staff members will only address abuse reports within the game & any account problems will be address through their website (NOT in the game). Third, staff members WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD! THEY'RE THE STAFF! THEY DON'T NEED YOUR PASSWORD TO GET INTO YOUR ACCOUNT! The second part of this Law is that you cannot submit false abuse reports. First of all, you're crying "Wolf!" (see the fable "The Boy that Cried Wolf"). Second, you're wasting the staff's time. Third, you ticking the staff off with false reports. With each false report you submit, you're driving another nail in your player's coffin!6) No Macros or ANY FORM OF AUTOMATION allowed! This law pretty much states that you have to play the game every minute you're on. If you're going to be away from the game for like 5 minutes, the staff of Runescape wants you to log off (instead of getting kicked off for idling) & they don't want you to use any type or program to keep you online. It can be pretty annoying if a person that's out-performing you is using a bot to help them out. This law works in conjunction with Law #3, as you're practically giving your account to a mechanical entity (being a macro or bot) & let it do whatever it wants with your account. The staff of Runescape have added automation-detecting measures to their game to detect the players that are breaking this rule. AT LEAST 5,000 USERS HAVE BEEN BANNED (AT ONE TIME) FOR BREAKING THIS LAW! IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK, SO PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!! Please see Section 25, Question 27 for signs of Macroing.7) In-game items can ONLY be sold using in-game money! This law is pretty apparent on what it means, but people are greedy, greedy idiots. According to the User License agreement that you ACCEPTED THE TERMS BEFORE REGISTERING states that all characters, items, building, ect. are the intellectual property of Jagex (the staff of Runescape). This means that your account, character & items below to them, NOT YOU! Since most international laws (like the US) forbid the selling of items NOT OWNED by the seller. This law pretty much restricts the selling of your items to in-game money (Gold Coins) ONLY! You're not allowed to sell your items for real money OR even for real-life services (like giving a item to somebody who made a graphic for your website). Doing so destroys the value of the in-game monetary system & there's serious security risks for spend your hard-earned dollars (or whatever your currency it) for a few lousy bytes of data. Please be aware that the Jagex DOES MONITOR auction sites like eBay for people who are violating this rule. Chances are they're the ones who are trying to ban your account on eBay. AT LEAST 1,000 USERS HAVE BEEN BANNED (AT ONE TIME) FOR BREAKING THIS LAW! IT'S NOT WORK THE RISK, SO JUST DON'T DO THIS AT ALL!!! Please be aware that other MMORPG's have this rule as well, but may not enforce this as heavily as others or ask you to use their auction system to sell the items... which still destroys the in-game monetary system.8) No use glitches or bugs in the game The law is designed to keep everybody playing the game like they're suppose to, but there may be a some bugs or glitches in the game that weren't pounded out by the time updates were uploaded to the servers. Anybody who finds a glitch or a bug should report the problem to the staff IMMEDIATELY! Anybody who constantly access an area they're not suppose to because of a bug in the game will get banned for breaking the limits of the game!9) No encouraging others to break the laws of Runescape This law is designed to punish the actual perpetrator of the rule breakers. Even if that player doesn't break the rules themselves, if they encourage another player to break the laws... they're guilty of pushing that player to the wrong side of the law. If you tell somebody to break the rules (or even HOW to break the rules), you're practically breaking the rules THROUGH them & BOTH of you get busted for it. Pretty much "Guilt by Peer Pressure"...I know there's other laws of Runescape (as there's about 15 laws), but here'sthe major ones you should know.3) Controlling Your Character--------------------------------When you log into the game, you'll be shown a pre-game screen that shows whenyou've last changed/updated your information (Passwords, personal information,ect.) as well as the "Play Now" button. Once you're in the game, thescreen is divided into the following sections. +----------------+------+ #2 #1 +------+ +----------------+ #4 #3 +----------------+------+Area 1 - The MAIN GAME WINDOW -- This is your view of the world. You'll click (& right-click) in this area to interact with the world.Area 2 - The Mini-Map -- This shows you where you are & which way your camera is facing. You'll click in this area to easily move around the world of RuneScape.Area 3 - Chat Window -- This area prints out what everybody around you have said & states a few actions that you've done in the game. Just type your message here & hit enter to talk to everybody nearby. There's a few options in this area as well +-------------+ A - Chat B - PM's C - Trade / Compete +-------------+ D - Report Abuse A B C D +-------------+The options at the bottom of the chat window is more of 3 privacy settings. * Chat - Who'll be able to talk to you * PM - Who'll be able to talk to you privately * Trade / Compete - Who'll be able to trade or compete with you.The settings are as follows: * Public / ON -- Everybody in the game can * Friends Only -- Only the people on your Buddy List can * Private / OFF -- Nobody in the game can OR you can only initiate it.The "Report Abuse" button is there so you can report any rules violation tothe admins. All you need to do is type in the person's name & what rule theybroken. When you hit submit, the last 60 seconds of your actions are savedfor "video proof" of the violation. Be aware that reporting fraudulent (orfaked) reports will hurt you.Area 4 - The In-Game Menus -- This area is a CORE SECTION of the game as this relatively small area stores a lot of information. This area can be broken up into smaller sections. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 1 -- Attack Style A -- Buddy List 1234567 2 -- Character Stats B -- Ignore List +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 3 -- Quest Lists 4 -- Inventory C -- LOG OUT BUTTON 5 -- Equipment D -- Actions 6 -- Prayer List E -- Configuration 7 -- Spellbook F -- Music List +--+--+-+-+-+-+ A BCDEF +--+--+-+-+-+-+The controls of RuneScape is a point-n-click system. To move your character,just click in the direction you want to go on the mini-map. If you want todo basic actions, just click on the item you want to grab/open/talk/attack orwhatever you can to with that item. If you want to do advanced actions, justright-click on the item you want to do something with & a small options listwill pop up. Then click on the action you want to do from that list.Here's what each page of the action window shows3.1) Attack Styles~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window allows you to select the style of attack you want to perform,based on what weapon you have equipped. By default (every time you log onto the servers), you'll use the general melee attack.If you want to use a spell for your attack, you have to select it & the attackspell you want to use here.June, 2006 Update:You can also find out your Combat Level on this page, which is a composite ofall 7 combat-related skills, which are shown on the Character Stats page.3.2) Character Stats~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you the levels of ALL YOUR SKILLS (listed in Section 6) ina fractional format. The first number is your "current" skill level, whichmay be affected by spells, beer, potions, or other stuff. The second numberis your "Permanent" Skill Level, which is your current maximum for that skill.It is possible to temporarily increase your skill level beyond your currentmaximum (like 25/20 strength). This can happen to all skills except for HP.You can see the EXP that you have for that skill by hovering your cursor overit. If you click on the skill, you can get in-depth information on what youcan do or use at that level. This information will appear in the main gamewindow.Your Overall Level is the sum of all your character's PERMAMENT skill levels.3.3) Quest Lists~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you all the quests (both free & members) that the gamecurrently has. You can click on a name of a quest to find out what you needto do for that quest (in a step-by-step method). The quest list is also colorcoordinated for your convenience , which are listed as followed:Red -- You haven't started this quest yet.Yellow -- This quest is currently in progress...Green -- You have finished this quest!You are allowed to start as many quests as you like, but it's best that youonly focus on one quest at a time so you don't get overwhelmed.June, 2006 Update: Your Quest Points are listed at the top of this page now.3.4) Inventory~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you all the items that you're carrying at the moment. Allthese items are usable & will increase your character's weight.3.5) Equipment~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This windows shows you all the items (like weapons & armor) that you haveequipped at the moment. All equipped items will affect your offense & defenseratings & will increase your character's weight.The Equipment page also shows your offensive & defensive stats in the varioustypes of attacks.3.6) Prayer List~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you all the prayers that are available for you to use aswell as show you which prayers are currently activated. Each activated spellwill drain your prayer points until you run out of prayer points. Once you'reout of prayer points, all activated prayers will automatically be deactivated.3.7) Spellbook~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you all the prayers that are available for you to use,granted that you have the runes to cast it. If you have the runes for aspecific spell (& level), that icon will be lit.You can also check at how many runes you'll need to cast each spell. Justhover your cursor over the spell you want to check the rune requirements.3.A) Buddy List~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you who's on your buddy list, which shows you who's onlinein the game as well as serves as the in-game PM system. The Buddy statusindicator is color coded for your convenience as well.Red -- This Buddy is OFFLINE... or unwilling to talk to you.Yellow -- This Buddy is Online, but on a different worldGreen -- This Buddy is Online & the same world.If the buddy is online, the buddy list will show you which world they're on.Even if they're NOT on the same world as you, you can talk to them through thePM system. If you're on the same world with your buddy, they'll appear as agreen dot on the mini-map (oppose to white) so you can easily locate themamong a crowd of people.Due to lag that may occur during the loading of a player's buddy list, thatperson may APPEAR OFFLINE until their buddy list is fully loaded. This is aminor glitch that cannot be helped. While your buddy list is loading, youcannot send nor receive any PM's.If a player adjusts their PM preference to "Friends only" (those on theirlist) or OFF, that person will appear offline on your buddy list, even ifthey're right in front of you.To PM a person, you just right-click on your buddy's name on the list & select"Send Message". Just enter your message in the Chat Window & hit enter tosend it off.Note: YOU MUST ADD THAT PERSON TO YOUR BUDDY LIST BEFORE YOU CAN PM THEM!Once that person is on your list, you can PM them & then remove them fromyour list.3.B) Ignore List~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you who's on your ignore list, which is comprised of userswho you want absolutely NO CONTACT with them. By placing them on your ignorelist, you will not receive ANY PM's from that person nor can they try totrade or compete with you.Note: YOU MUST REMOVE THE PERSON FROM YOUR BUDDY LIST BEFORE YOU CAN ADD THEM TOYOUR IGNORE LIST!Please be aware that it's better to add somebody to your ignore list than dosomething that would get you reported (or banned).3.C) LOG OUT BUTTON~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THIS IS THE MOST CRITICAL BUTTON IN THE GAME!!!This window pulls up THE log out button, which you have to click to completely& SAFELY log out of the game. When you're done playing, YOU MUST CLICK ONTHIS BUTTON! The game will log your character out of the game & safelydisconnect you from the server.IF YOU DO NOT LOG OUT THIS WAY, YOUR CHARACTER MAY STAY ONLINE FOR UP TO 10MINUTES! DURING THAT TIME, ANY MONSTER MAY ATTACK (& MOST LIKELY KILL) YOUUNTIL THE SERVER AUTOMATICALLY LOGS YOU OUT!Please be aware that if you've been fighting, you must wait 10 seconds beforeyou can properly log out using this button. This is to ensure that you're NOTunder attack while logging out as the log out process takes about 5 seconds(usually less, depending on your connection) to complete. You need to be ina "relatively safe" place to log out because it'll take a couple of secondsto log back in before you're ready to play.3.D) Actions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you how much stuff your carrying (weight), the amount ofenergy you currently have as well as stuff your character can perform.On the top have of this page, you have the walk-run buttons. When you clickon run, your character will run instead of walk while you still have energyleft. Your energy will drain based on your current agility (decrease drain)& weight (increase drain). You'll recover your energy by staying still orwalking. When your energy hits 0% or when you log out, you'll return towalking status. There's also an auto-retaliate option here, which will forceyou to attack another creature/player in response to their attack when enabled.It's best to keep it enabled so a weaker creature cannot kill you as easily.At the bottom of the page, you have a list of actions your character canperform. They vary from simple (head nods) to complex (salutes) to just plainsilly (like dancing). There are some actions that you may not be able toperform until you unlock them, like the MIME actions.June, 2006 Update: With the addition of Player Houses, the "House Actions"button is added to this page, which allows you to make changes to your house,kick out guests & generally build stuff.3.E) Configuration~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This window shows you some of the personalization that you can do to make thegame look & sound better. You can adjust the brightness of the game & thevolume of the music & sound effects. You can also make a few other changesto the game for yourself, but you may want to leave them "as is".The only modification that I highly suggest of doing is turning up the in-gamebrightness to "Very Bright" so you can see all the details in the game clearly.At "normal" brightness, reds & browns (& dark greens) can be hard to tell apart.3.F) Music List~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you're running the "High Res" version of the game (Low Res version removesthe music to lower the requirements), you can select the music that you wantto listen as well as looping options.If you prefer to use the manual "Jukebox" system, you can only select thetunes that are listed in green. Tunes listed in red are ones that you haven'taccessed before. The more you travel, the more tunes you will unlock.4) You are Here -- A Guide to Navigation-------------------------------------------Once you Complete Tutorial Island, you're given a Bronze Sword, a WoodenShield, & a few runes (as well as 25 G in the bank) before you're teleportedto Lumbridge Castle. You aren't, however, given any directions on what youshould do & all you can do is fend for yourself. If you're lucky, you mayhave a friend online (or an honorable user) to give you a hand (or two) whileyou're trying to establish yourself.The first thing you should do is figure out where you are & where to go. Forabout a week or two after leaving Tutorial Island, you should load up theWorld Map in a new browser window while RuneScape is loading up on thecomputer. The World Map is an interactive map that runs on Java (just likeRuneScape). The World Map will point out the points of interest as well asan interactive legend, which means that all points that match the symbol youclick on in the legend will flash. The World Map will NOT POINT OUT whereyou are, so you will have to find where you are by matching the mini-mapwithin the game with the world map.Before you start comparing the mini-map with the world map, rotate the cameraso that the compass by the mini-map has North facing up. Then, try to matchup the landmarks in the mini-map to the same landmarks on the world map. Ifyou haven't gone too far from Lumbridge Castle, drag the world map to theLumbridge area to give you hand on finding out where you are. Drag the worldmap to find the areas that interest you, then figure out the best path totravel. Since the mini-map & the compass will rotate to match the directionof the camera is facing, you will have to mentally rotate the mini-map tokeep track of where you are. Once you start getting the world of RuneScapedown, you'll eventually stop relying on the world map as often. You willwant to load up the World Map if you're planning to heading off to areas thatyou're not familiar with. You should also be aware that the World Map DOESNOT COVER above nor below ground areas.Finally, should you get lost along the way, always try to ask somewhere forsome help. Fellow users will usually stop to answer your inquiry, but someuser will be kind enough to take you to your destination. Should a user takeyou to your destination (or tell you to follow them, which is done byright-clicking on the player & click on follow), it's customary to give theassisting user a tip around 25 G or more upon arrival at your destination asthe assisting player went out of their way to help you.For now, you may want to check out the "Lumbridge Guide" to help newbies withsimilar questions like where to go & what to do now in the game. You'll seea "?" icon on the mini-map near Lumbridge Castle & the guide is a wizard-likeguy with a bunch of scrolls in the bag he's carrying. Everybody is welcomedto talk to him, but his main purpose is to help out new players to getstarted in the game.5) Working Your Bank Account-------------------------------Your bank account is your personal "security box" to store everything thatyou want to keep safe. To access your bank account or it's options, makeyour way to any bank (noted with a "$" icon) & click on an open teller window(don't mind anybody who actually at the window as you can walk through othersin the game). You'll be presented with the following options:* "I'd like to check my Bank Options"* "I'd like to access my Bank Account"Pretty much the only Bank Option you'll have is to deal with your Bank PIN.Your Bank PIN is a second password that is comprised of 4 digits, but thenumbers on the Bank's keypad change after key digit is entered. This is toforce you to enter a password that you'll remember & NOT just any simplepattern. The Bank PIN ensures that if anybody should happen to get into youraccount, they would not be able to take any items out of your bank accountunless they know your PIN. You'll only need to enter your Bank PIN once persession, or any time you reconnect to the game servers. Having a Bank PINIS OPTIONAL, BUT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED TO HAVE!You should also be aware that it normally takes 3-7 days for any changes toyour Bank PIN to go into effect (pending on the player's preference). Thismeasure is to allow players to change their mind (or counter a hacker'sactions) & cancel the new Bank PIN. If you can't remember your Bank PIN forany reason, the staff of RuneScape will remove your Bank PIN 7 days afteryour request. If you cancel your bank PIN in the game after confirming yourPIN (to confirm that you know the PIN), it'll be removed IMMEDIATELY.As I've said before, you Bank Account is like a Security Box as you can saveanything you want in there. All the items you store at the bank will bestacked, so if you wanted to store 5 trout (which takes 5 slots in yourinventory), it'll only take up one slot in the bank. When you take items outof the bank, you have the option of taking the item itself OR take them asa note. "Bank Notes" are used to trade large amounts of an item withouttaking up all your inventory slots.In a few banks, you may find a Deposit Box (looks like a column with a slotin it). The Deposit Box is designed to allow players to deposit items intotheir bank account WITHOUT having you to access your bank account (& enteryour Bank PIN). It's a good item to use when you want to quickly unload itemsto your bank account (like fish or coal).6) A Brief Description of Your Skills...-------------------------------------------As you play the game, you will gain experience in various skills.This section is designed to give you a brief description of each skill & whatit does.

This section includes tools you'll need, events that may happento you & a few secrets to help you train your skills.Please be aware that this part of the guide DOES NOT INCLUDE MEMBERS ONLYSKILLS. This is because I'm not a member at the time of this guide waswritten & most of the beginners are usually free players. ====================================================================== 7) Fighting for Your Life -- A Combat Guide----------------------------------------------The key to surviving in RuneScape, besides knowing how to earn money, isdefending yourself in battle. Sooner or later, you will have to do battlewith the monsters &, heaven forbid it ever happens, fellow players in thegame. Combat skills (as an overall average) is something that others will beable to see, defines what you can carry into battle & others will eventuallyjudge you from it. Before you get your head served on a silver platter, youshould get some knowledge prior to battle as "There is no knowledge that isnot power."7.1) The Combat Styles~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~With other MMORPG's, there are different combat styles to suit what peoplelike to use. Each style has their advantages & disadvantages, but there'sno one "Ultimate Style" in the game. In RuneScape, there are three typesof combat styles, which are Melee, Ranged & Magic.7.1.1) Melee Fighters (Knights)*********************************Melee Fighters (commonly referred to as Knights) like to put their trust intheir strength & their equipment. Knights like to use swords, maces, warhammer & axes to attack their enemies & like to swear strong, heavy armor fordefense. You don't need arrows, runes, or even a weapon to fight as a knight!7.1.2) Ranged Fighters (Archers)***********************************Ranged Fighters (commonly referred to as Archers) prefer to keep theirdistance from the enemies instead of getting up close & personal. Archershave moderate costs as they have to buy a bow (or crossbow) as well asperiodically replenish their supply of arrows. Since Archers need to keeptheir distance from their target, their armor selection is usually restrictedto leather armor & other forms of light armor.7.1.3) Magic Fighters (Mages)********************************Magic Fighters (commonly referred to as Mages in the general term) prefer touse the mystical arts over the traditional forms of combat. Training as aMagician is the hardest & most expensive form as you'll need to replenishyour supply of runes to cast your spells, which take up inventory space.You can make some of your runes & buy an elemental staff to help reduce someof the costs, but you'll still have to pay the hefty prices for most of themid & high-level runes. The Mage's armor is extremely restrictive as theirarmor must allow their magical forces to flow through them. Mages usuallycast their spells & attack similarly to Archers, but Mages don't have tokeep their distance from their enemies.7.2) The Combat Hierarchy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The hierarchy between each combat style is pretty much a "Rock, Paper,Scissors" system with each style being strong against one style & weak againstthe other. The cycle of combat is show below: +-------<- Knights -<--------+ v (Melee) ^ Archers ->--------------->- Mages (Ranged) (Magic)7.2.1) Knight's Hierarchy****************************+ Knights are STRONG against Archers... + Knight's heavy armor will resist the damage of the arrows. + Knight's weapons can easily cut through Archer's armor. - Knights must get close to Archers to attack.- Knights are WEAK against Mages... - Knight's armor impedes the flow of magic, therefore making their heavy armor INCREASE the damage of the magic. - Knights must get close to Magicians to attack. + Knight's weapons can easily cut through Mage's armor.7.2.2) Archer's Hierarchy****************************+ Archers are STRONG against Mages... + Archer's light armor reduces the damage inflicted by magic. + Archer's arrows can easily penetrate Mage's Armor - Archers do not have any distance advantage as normal.- Archers are WEAK against Knights... - Knight's heavy armor resists the damage of the arrows. - Knight's weapons can easily cut through Archer's armor. + Archers can keep their distance from a Knight7.2.3) Mage's Hierarchy**************************+ Mages are STRONG against Knights... + Knight's heavy armor INCREASES the damage inflicted. + Mages can attack from a distance. - Knight's weapon can easily cut through Mage's armor.- Mages are WEAK against Archers... - Archer's light armor resists magical damage - Archer's arrows can easily penetrate Mage's Armor. + Archers do not have any distance advantages as normal.7.3) Attack Strategies~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As each combat style has different ways of preparing for battle, you'll haveto gear your character towards one specific combat style as your primaryattack method. You can then select a secondary style to train in as well tohelp balance out the pluses & minuses of the battle hierarchy if you wish.You could try to train in all of the battle styles if you want, but beprepared to spend a lot of time & money training skills that you may not usethat often.7.3.1) Knight's Path***********************As I've said before, Knights are the most common combat style as it's theeasiest path to take as it's simple to understand & it holds the most gearfor free players. As your melee skills increase (attack, strength & defense),you'll be able to pick up more powerful gear & fight more powerful enemies.A Knight's expenses are usually for equipment upgrades as they progressthrough the skill levels as well as purchasing food to prolong their trainingsessions. Be aware that the market prices for the higher level items willdramatically increase with the materials. Knights can try to reduce theirexpenses by making the items themselves with mining & smithing skills.Weapon / Armor Selection:+----+----------------------------------------------------------------+ LV Suggested Weapon / Armor +----+----------------------------------------------------------------+ 01 Iron Weapon / Armor of your choice 05 Steel Weapon / Armor of your choice 10 Black Weapon / Armor of your choice* 20 Mithril Weapon / Armor of your choice 30 Adamant Weapon / Armor of your choice 40 Runite Weapon / Armor of your choice** +----+----------------------------------------------------------------+ * - Black items can only be purchased. ** -- Quest Completion Required to properly equip some Runite Armor +---------------------------------------------------------------------+7.3.2) Archer's Path***********************The way of the Archer (or Ranger) is the middle road of the three paths as itcosts more than the Knights, but less than the Mages. Unlike Knights, anArcher's defensive gear is more restricted to light-weight items like leatherto keep your movements unrestricted & your distance, as it's your key defenseagainst others.Archers expenses are usually for arrow replenishments, then equipmentupgrades. Archers have to choose between upgrading arrows OR bows, both willdecide on how much damage you can inflict. Archers can decrease their costsby making the arrows & the bows themselves with fletching skills. However,fletching is a skill restricted to members only & most free players do nottake this path because of it.Archers have three types of ranged weapons: Shortbow, Longbow & Crossbows.Research shows that crossbows are a disappointing weapon in general & shouldnot be used. The main difference between the shortbow & longbow is the speed(short) & distance (long).Suggested Weaponry:+----+----------------------------+----+-------------------+ Lv Suggest Bow Lv Suggested Arrow +----+----------------------------+----+-------------------+ 01 Regular Bow of your choice 01 Iron Arrows 05 Oak Bow of your choice 05 Steel Arrows 20 Willow Bow of your choice 20 Mithril Arrows 30 Maple Bow of your choice 30 Adamantite Arrows +----+----------------------------+----+-------------------+ Note: List only includes what Free Players can use. +----------------------------------------------------------+Suggested Armor:+--------+--------+-----------------------------------+ Def Lv Rng Lv Suggested Armor +--------+--------+-----------------------------------+ 01 01 Vambraces (Arms) 01 01 Cowl (Head) 01 01 Leather Body (Body) 01 01 Leather Chaps (Legs) 10 01 Hard Leather Body (Body) 01 20 Coif (Head) 20 20 Studded Leather Body (Body) 01 20 Studded Leather Chaps (Legs) 01 40 Green Dragon Vambraces (Arms) 40 40 Green Dragon Body (Body) 01 40 Green Dragon Chaps (Legs) +--------+--------+-----------------------------------+ Note: List only includes what Free Players can use. +-----------------------------------------------------+7.3.3) Mage's Path*********************Those who seek the mystical ways of the Mage first should be prepared for anuphill battle as this is the most expensive path in the game. Magicians mustwear specialized clothes in order to enhance their magic power outward, whichmakes their armor extremely restricted. Wearing heavy armor (like Knights)will not only inhibit your magical powers, it will conduct & amplify magicalattacks from others. Unlike Archers, who carry their arrows in as part oftheir equipment, Mages must carry their runes in their inventory.On the defensive side, Free players can only obtain a Wizard Hat & Robe.Most players usually complete the wizard look with a skirt. These items canusually be obtained (except for the skirt) from fighting wizards or you canbuy these items off of other players (at extremely high prices). If you'replanning on buying these items, expect the spend 1,000gOn the offensive side, Free players can buy elemental staffs for about 1,500geach in Varrock. The elemental staffs give you an unlimited supply of runesfor that element. Even you may want to obtain all four elemental staffs, youwill only want to carry the staff for the element that you'll be using themost for your spells. When you're starting (Lv 1), you'll probably use anAir Staff. Around Lv 13, you'll probably switch to a Fire Staff.Regardless on what staff you use, you'll need to keep runes on hand.Suggested ATTACK Spells (& Runes) to use:+----+--------------------------+-------------------------+ Lv Suggested Spell Runes Needed +----+--------------------------+-------------------------+ 01 Wind Strike 1 Air, 1 Mind 09 Earth Strike 1 Air, 1 Mind, 2 Earth 13 Fire Strike 2 Air, 1 Mind, 3 Fire 23 Water Bolt* 2 Air, 2 Water, 1 Chaos 29 Earth Bolt* 2 Air, 3 Earth, 1 Chaos 35 Fire Bolt* 3 Air, 4 Fire, 1 Chaos 41 Wind Blast** 3 Air, 1 Death 47 Water Blast** 3 Air, 4 Water, 1 Death 53 Earth Blast** 3 Air, 4 Earth, 1 Death ?? Fire Blast** ??? +----+--------------------------+-------------------------+ * -- Free Players must buy Chaos Runes, which are expensive to buy. Use weaker spells, if needed ** -- ALL PLAYERS must buy Death Runes, which are very expensive to buy. Use weaker spells, if needed There's no shame to use Fire Strike as your primary attack as you can make all those runes for that spell +---------------------------------------------------------+October, 2006 Update: The makers of Runescape have created a specialteleportation spell that everybody can use. The Teleportation spell willtake you to your "home spot" (which is Lumbridge for most users), but thereare a few restrictions with it. 1) It takes a while (about 1-2 minutes) tocomplete the spell, 2) Cannot be used in battle (as combat interupts thecasting of the spell), 3) Takes 30 minutes to regenerate.7.4) Guaging Your Combat Level~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Your "Combat Level" is a composite of all your combat skills, which includeyour primary attack skill (Attack, Range or Magic.. whatever skill is higherat the time), Strength, Defense, Prayer & HP skills. To check your CombatLevel, click on the stats tab & look at the lower part of the window for the"Combat Level" listing. Do not be surprised if your combat level is statedhigher than any of your actual levels. Again, this is a composite level &all 6 parts that comprise this level are greater than their separate parts.If you're within reasonable combat range with a monster, the monster's combatlevel will be displayed. RuneScape uses a visual system to give you a hintof your survival chances by giving you a "color". The colors on this systemis as follows...* No Display = "Nice Knowing You!" (Practically NO CHANCE of surviving)* Red Text = You have little chance of surviving...* Orange Text = You have a fair shot (33-50%) chance of surviving.* Yellow Text = You have a 50/50 chance of surviving.* Green Text = You'll most likely survive the fight.Please be aware that the "Combat Color" is based on ideal battle conditions,like being at full health, & your primary combat skill. Here's a few examplesof things you may run up against.EX 1) You have Lv 15 Combat (Melee-based) & you're planning on fighting Lv 10Dwarves. You'll probably be able to take on about 2 Dwarves without any food,but fighting 3 or more in one go could kill you. -- Moral: Know your limits!EX 2) You have Lv 23 Combat (Melee-based) & Lv 12 Magic fighting a Lv 7 DarkWizard. You'd be able to kill the wizard fairly easy when fighting as aKnight, but your survival chances drop to 50/50 or less when fighting as aMage. -- Moral: Stick to your primary combat skill when needed. 7.5) Usage of Prayer~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The prayer skill, albeit obscured by other combat skills, can be a usefulskill to supplement your combat skills. Prayers require you to bury bones toincrease your experience & eventually your level. Like Hit Points, yourprayer points indicate on how much "Divine Power" you have. The drain ratefor each player will vary & the more prayers you use (you can stack prayerson top of each other), the faster your prayer points will drain. In orderto restore your prayer points, you'll have to pray at an alter (any alter yourun across will work) OR drink a prayer potion.Here's a partial list of prayers you'll learn & use:+----+---------------------+-------------------------+-----------------+ Lv Prayer Effect Drain Rate +----+---------------------+-------------------------+-----------------+ 01 Thick Skin Increases Defense 5% 4 pts / minute 04 Burst of Strength Increases Strength 5% 4 pts / minute 07 Clarity of Thought Increases Attack 5% 4 pts / minute 10 Rock Skin Increases Defense 10% 2 pts / minute 13 Superhuman Strength Increases Strength 10% 2 pts / minute 16 Improved Reflexes Increases Attack 10% 2 pts / minute 19 Rapid Restore Doubles Restore Rate 12 pts / minute Except HP & Prayer 22 Rapid Heal Doubles HP Restore Rate 6 pts / minute 25 Protect Items Protects ONE EXTRA Item 6 pts / minute At Your Death 28 Steel Skin Increases Defense 15% 1 pt / minute 31 Ultimate Strength Increases Strength 15% 1 pt / minute 34 Incredible Reflexes Increases Attack 15% 1 pt / minute .. ... ... ... +----+---------------------+-------------------------+-----------------+ * Drain Rate is subject to error... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+7.6) A Beginner's Bestiary~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As you travel around the world of RuneScape, you'll run into various creaturesthat you can fight & some that may attack you. Here's a starter's Beastiaryof creatures that you'll probably be interested in. This section onlyincludes characters (up to Lv 40) that you'll spot.+-----------+----------------+-------------+---------------------------------+ Combat Lv Creature Attack Type Drops +-----------+----------------+-------------+---------------------------------+ 01 Chicken Passive Bones, Feather, Raw Chicken 01 Rat Passive Bones, Rat Tail 02 Imp Passive Ashes, Beads, Random Stuff 02 Cow Passive Bones, Cow Hide, Raw Beef 02 Cow Calf Passive Bones, Cow Hide, Raw Beef 02 Man Passive Bones, Coins, Random Stuff 02 Ram Passive Bones, Random Stuff 02 Woman Passive Bones, Coins, Random Stuff 03 Goblin Passive Bones, Coins, Random Stuff 05 Goblin Passive Bones, Coins, Goblin Mail, ect. 05 Highwayman Lv Aggress.

Note: Monster (Level) Variant is noted with a number at the end (like x.1) to differentiate similarly named creatures, although some monsters may have more visible differences (like color or weapons) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+7.7) Fields of Honor -- A Combat Review~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When working on your combat skills, here's a few areas that are pretty goodto train with limited health risks.-> Chick / Cow Ranches - Lumbridge <-*************************************Suggested Levels: Lv 3 - 30Location: NE of LumbridgeCreatures Encountered: * Lv 2 Cow * Lv 2 Cow Calf * Lv 1 ChickenThis is one of the most popular training spots in RuneScape as it's close toLumbridge (where all new players start at) & it's the closest place to theAl-Kharid tanner. Despite the crowds, the low level animals there will givebeginners a decent challenge & they'll always drop uncooked food & items thatothers can use.For beginners, it's suggested that you carry an axe & a tinderbox so you cancook the food you pick up as well as eat it to recover your health. If youneed to, pick up any stray meat (stuff that others didn't pick up) as well torecover your health as some players don't bother picking stuff up.-> Falador Ranch - Falador <-*****************************Suggested Levels: Lv 5 - 30Location: SSE of Falador, N of Port SarimCreatures Encountered: * Lv 5 Highwayman (outside the ranch) * Lv 2 Cow * Lv 2 Cow Calf * Lv 2 Imp (outside the ranch) * Lv 1 Chicken * Lv 1 DuckThis Ranch is similar to the Lumbridge Cow / Chick Ranches, but they're joinedtogether & a smaller area. This area isn't as crowed, but it does get sometraffic as it's very close to Falador & it's close to the Crafter's Guild(where there's another tanner, but only those with Lv 40 crafting & a brownapron equipped can access).The level suggestion is slightly higher due to the Highwaymen, who will attackthe lower-level players. You can, however, run away from them with verylittle damage.-> Barbarian Village <-************************Suggested Levels: Lv 15 - 40Location: Barbarian Village (NE of Falador, W of Varrock)Creatures Encountered: * Lv 10/17 BarbariansThe Barbarian Village is a decent area to train once you get your levels up,but it's not as friendly as it was before. Due to recent updates to the game,the barbarians who live there have gotten A LOT STRONGER (+2 to +9 levels thanbefore). Unless you have some food on hand, or help (as it's a multi-combatarea) when you're in the lower levels... you probably want to pass on this.If your Fishing & Cooking Levels are at least Lv 20, you can go fishing nearby.-> Goblin Village <-********************Suggested Levels: Lv 5 - 35Location: Goblin Village (NNE of Falador)Creatures Encountered: * Lv 5 GoblinGoblin Village is one area that you'll have to visit for a quest. The Goblinsin the area are fairly passive (they won't attack unless you attack them) &they occasionally drop Goblin Mail, which you'll need for one quest & they'reworth around 15 G a piece. Players on the low-end of the suggested rangeshould bring some food with you.-> Dwarven Mine North <-************************Suggested Levels: Lv 10 - 40Location: Dwarven Mines, North Entrance (NNE of Falador, WNW of Barbarian Village)Creatures Encountered: * Lv 10 Dwarf * Lv 14 ScorpionDwarven Mine's Northern Entrance is the suggested entrance for low-levelplayers as the Dwarves around the area are passive & there's not a lot ofscorpions in the area until you get close to the Southern Entrance. Dwarveswill usually drop some low-level items that you can sell at the general storesfor some gold. It's best to carry some food, especially if you're on the lowend of the suggested levels.-> Dwarven Mine South <-************************Suggested Levels: 25 - 45Location: Dwarven Mines, South Entrance (in NE Falador)Creatures Encountered: * Lv 14 Scorpion * Lv 32 King ScorpionDwarven Mine's Southern Entrance is better geared towards mid-level playersas there's plenty of Scorpions & the King Scorpions are a pain for most of theplayers in the mine. It's suggested that you bring some food while training,especially for the low-level players. I should note that scorpions don't dropANYTHING... which doesn't make them the best for combat training.-> Draynor Sewers <-********************Suggested Levels: 20 - 40Location: W of Draynor (west entrance, marked with a "!") & W of Draynor Jail (east entrance, marked with a "!")Creatures Encountered: * Lv 13 Zombie * Lv 24 Zombie * Lv 22 Skeleton * Lv 25 Skeleton * Lv 26 Jailman (outside Eastern Entrance)Draynor Sewers is a little known gem for mid-level players as it contains adecent mix of mid-level creatures to fight. The creatures usually drop somegold, but they may drop a decent item or even the occasional rare rune (likelaws & chaos).Due to the damage that can be inflicted, it's suggested that everybody carriessome food with you, even though you're relatively close to a bank. Those whoare running low on health should take the west entrance to avoid gettingattacked the Jailmen upon leaving the Sewers.-> Varrock Sewers <-********************Suggested Levels: 15 - 40+Location: E of Varrock Castle (marked with an "!")Creatures Encountered: * Lv 1 Rat * Lv 6 Big Rat * Lv 13 Zombie * Lv 14 Scorpion * Lv 19 Ghost * Lv 22 Skeleton * Lv 24 Zombie * Lv 25 Skeleton * Other Unknown CreaturesVarrock Sewers is one of the few "multi-combat" areas where people train, soit means that multiple players can attack one monster, but multiple monsterscan attack you in return. While it may be a little extreme for mid-levelKnights, but there's great spots for Archers & Mages to train as there'susually water or bars separating them from the monsters.Knights should carry a good amount of food on hand, especially if themonsters gang up on you while Archers & Mages can get away with less becausethey're not in direct melee combat.If you actually make it into the far depths of the sewer, there are some highlevel creatures that you can fight.-> Scorpion Mine <-*******************Suggested Level: 15 - 30Location: N of Al-KharidCreatures Encountered: * Lv 14 ScorpionScorpion Mine is one area that's better geared towards Archers & Mages sinceit's an open-air mine. Archers & Mages can stand on the sides overlookingthe mine & attack the scorpions in the area without endangering themselves.Knights may want to consider skipping this area unless they're mining asscorpions do not drop anything. If you're a low-level knight, take at leastthree pieces of food with you as the scorpions will most likely attack you.-> Edgeville Sewers <-**********************Suggested Level: 30+Location: Edgeville / NE of Barbarian VillageCreatures Encountered: * Lv 24 Zombie * Lv 28 Hill Giant * Lv 28/48 HobgoblinThis area is like THE TRAINING PLACE for all mid & high level players. Whilethe southern entrance to the Edgeville Sewers REQUIRE the Brass Key (availablewithin the sewers near this entrance) to get in & most players charge 50-200 Gfor one. Most players drop in here to train on the Hill Giants that are nextto the southern entrance as they contain fairly good drops like mid level runes (like Cosmics & Natures).Due to the popularity of the area, you'll have to fight other players in orderto fight a Hill Giant... especially against Mages & Archers.-> The Stronghold of Security <-********************************Suggested Level: 15-90+Location: Barbarian Village (Marked with an "!")Creatures Encountered: * Lv 5/13/16/25 Goblines * Lv 11/14 Wolves * Lv 12/27 Minotaurs * Lv 24 Spiders * Lv 26 Giant Rats * Lv 28/35/41 Flesh Crawlers * Lv 30/44/53 Zombies * Lv 49/64/68 Catablepons * Lv 50 Giant Spiders * Lv 59 Scorpions * Lv 68/85 Skeletons * Lv 75/82/86 Ankou * Lv 76 GhostsThis place is one of the newest places in the game for free players & there'screatures that are suitable for lower to high-level players. There are piecesof a special weapon (Skull Staff) that includes 5 charges to teleport you tothe entrance of the Stronghold. Each piece (4 in total) is dropped by acreature from each level of the stronghold... so only the high level playerswill be able to obtain all the pieces themselves.There's more information listed in section 15.A.-> THE WILDERNESS <-********************Suggested Level: 50+ (Actual Range UNKNOWN)Location: N of Varrock, Edgeville, Dwarven Mines, ect. (Just "DUE NORTH" of everything)Creatures Encountered: * UNKNOWN CREATURES (too many to list) * OTHER PLAYERSThe Wilderness is the UNKNOWN Frontier... The further you go into theWilderness, the more perilous it gets & the threat of other players attackingyou only ups the ante. You will need to take a lot of food as well as anescape route (like runes to teleport back to Varrock, should you have Lv 25Magic) should you get attacked by other players... Hopefully players that can'tcast Teleblock (which prevents their victims from teleporting, which is anULTRA-HIGH Level spell).This area is NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART!8) Organization for Carry-All Users--------------------------------------Even though I prefer to practice the "Minimalistic" ideal for inventorycontrol, there are some people who prefer to practice the "Boy Scout" ideal &carry items with them so they can be ready to do anything they want (or comeacross). Here's a good idea on how to organize your items from my RuneScapeBuddy Karl Li so you can be ready for practically anything. Please be awarethat I'm going from the top, downward on your inventory page.8.1) First Row~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Coins/Money -- aka "Your Wallet", for those "On the Fly" purchases * Bow -- If you switch between Ranged & Melee combat * Food (Minor) -- To heal yourself during minor fights * Food (Major) -- To heal yourself during major fights Notes: 1) You can carry your arrows in your quiver & therefore keeping them out of your inventory. 2) It's suggested that you keep about 10% of your gold on hand & keep the rest of it in the bank. If you're a magician, you'll want more on hand since higher level runes cost more. 3) Minor food is something for a quick health-fix (Chicken, ect.) & Major food is something for large health recovery (Salmon, Lobster, ect.). THIS DOES NOT APPLY FOR TREKS INTO THE WILDERNESS!!! Take as much high-recovery food as you can when going into The Wilderness.8.2) Second Row~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Axe -- To chop down trees for timber * Tinderbox -- To light fires (w/ logs on hand) * Pickaxe -- For mining ores * Hammer -- For making tools out of metal bars8.3) Third Row~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Log (1) -- To make a fast fire * Log (1) -- To make a fast fire * Log (2) -- To make a long fire * Log (2) -- To make a long fire Note: The notation of (1) & (2) refers to the different types of logs as each type of log lights & burn at different rates. The first type of log should be a lower level log to quickly start a fire & the second type of log should be a higher level log to start a longer-lasting fire to give you more time for bonfire cooking.8.4) Fourth Row~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Fishing Net -- For fishing smaller, lower level fish (like shrimp) * Fishing Rod -- For fishing larger, higher level fish (like trout & tuna) * Needle -- For crafting leather items * Thread -- For crafting leather items Note: 1 spool of thread will make 5 leather items. Since the game doesn't tell how many items are left on 1 single spool, it's suggested that you carry multiple spools for this reason.8.5) Fifth Row~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Fishing Bait / Feathers -- For Baited of Fly Fishing (based on rod)9) Timber the Lumberjack -- A Woodcutting & Firestarting Guide-----------------------------------------------------------------Woodcutting is one of the obscured skills in the game as a free player as allyou can really do with the wood you cut is light them up, but members will beable to turn logs into ranged tools. Firestarting is another skill thatallows you to ignite a specific type of wood, so it goes hand-in-hand withWoodcutting.To cut wood, you'll need a regular axe. Battle Axes may be used as well tocut wood, but it's not a good idea to try. To light the logs that you'vechopped, you'll need a tinderbox. A tinderbox contains flints that you useto make sparks to start the fire. Tinderboxes are usually available at anygeneral store & costs about 5g or less.Here's the general level list of trees that you can cut (& burn) at a specificlevel.+----+-----------+ Lv Tree Type +----+-----------+ 01 Normal 15 Oak 30 Willow 45 Maple* 60 Yew 75 Magic* +----+-----------+ * Members Only +----------------+March, 2006 UPDATE: Members with a minimum Woodcutting level of 12 can craftlogs into canoes for water travel. Canoes are one-way trips & the distanceyou can travel will vary with the wood you use. You can even make it to Lv35 wilderness with the best canoe. However, since this is a special member'sskill... this is as far as I'll be able to say.9.1) A Tree-Trimmer's Toolbox~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Like all other skills, the tool you use will determine how efficient (fast)you are in chopping down a tree. Even though you can get away with using justone type of axe throughout the game, it'll take you a long time to chop thehigher level trees & rival players may get the wood before you. Here's thelist of axes you'll be able to use.+----+------------+-------------+--------------+ Lv Axe Type Shop Prices Street Price +----+------------+-------------+--------------+ 01 Bronze N / A 5 G 04 Iron N / A 40 G 06 Steel N / A 150 G 21 Mithril N / A 600 G 31 Adamantite N / A 2,000 G 41 Runite N / A 20,000 G +----+------------+-------------+--------------+Please be aware that your Woodcutting Skill MUST be at this level to use theaxe AS A TOOL. To actually equip the tool & use it AS A WEAPON, your attackskill is actually one level less that the usage requirement.9.2) I Didn't Start the Fire... Yes I Did...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Starting a fire isn't that hard, but it does take some skill. First of all,you'll need a tinderbox on hand to light the fire. Second, you need to havea log to light, either in your inventory OR on the ground. All you have todo is the use the tinderbox on the logs to ignite them.Your Firestarting skill will determine how long it takes for you to start afire & what you can light. The list of woods you can burn is listed inSection 9. If your Firestarting skill is at Lv 15, you can easily ignitenormal wood but it'll take you some time to light up an oak log.Firestarting skill is somewhat useful as you'll be able to cook any meat orfish you pick up without having to find a stove to cook on. The better thewood is, the longer the fire you started will last.9.3) Tree Incidents -- Random Events~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are some things that will happen in the game that will most likelyannoy the hell out of you & there's little you can do about it! Here's a fewthings that can happen while you're chopping down trees.9.3.1) Tree Sprites**********************Tree Sprites are plant-like creatures that don't appreciate you clear-cuttingtheir home. They'll attack you (their combat is based on your own combatlevel) until you defeat them OR until you leave.9.3.2) Ents**************Ents are tree-like creatures that don't like getting picked (or chopped).If you run into an Ent, LEAVE THEM ALONE or your axe may get broken.You can take your broken axe to Bob's in Lumbridge to get repaired for a fee.9.3.3) Losing Your (Axe) Head********************************From time to time, you may find that the head of your axe will fly off itshandle & will land a few feet away from you. It's fairly annoying, but allyou have to do is retrieve your axe head & place it back on your axe handle.You will need to quickly retrieve your axe head as it'll be visible to othersafter a few minutes. If you find an axe head without a handle, you can takethe axe head to Bob's Ax Shop in Lumbridge (just south of the castle's gate)to get it fixed for a fee.9.3.4) Fallen Finds (Members)********************************This random event will only happen on Member servers, but it's listed here tocomplete the list. While cutting down trees, you may see a bird's nest fallout of the tree you're chopping. These nests will usually contain some randomitems, but you'll most likely find seeds that you can use for farming.9.4) Clear-cut Woodcutting Review~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As there's plenty of trees in RuneScape, there are some areas that are betterthan others for chopping wood. Here's a few spots where you can practicebeing a lumberjack. If you need help working on your firestarting skills,just take your tinderbox along with you.-> Lumbridge Area <-********************Suggested Levels: 1 - 30Location: Around Lumbridge CastleTrees Available: * Normal Trees (Lv 1) * Oak Trees (Lv 15)Lumbridge is a pretty good area to start on your lumberjack routine as there'san abundant amount of regular trees in the area & a few oaks here. This areais usually overcrowded with low-level players, so it may not be easy to getsome oak logs.Most starter lumberjacks will either sell the logs at the nearby general store(which is usually overloaded with wood) or work on their firestarting skills.-> Draynor Area <-******************Suggested Levels: 30+Location: Just South of Draynor BankTrees Available: * Willow Trees (Lv 30)The Draynor Area is THE HOTTEST SPOT for mid-level lumberjacks as the areanear the Bank is loaded with Willow Trees. This area is usually crowded withlumberjacks most of the time, so scoring some willow logs may be difficultdue to the competition, but you'll probably get a few logs out of each treebefore it's fully cut.-> Falador Area <-******************Suggested Levels: 15+Location: Just South of FaladorTrees Available: * Normal Trees (Lv 1) * Oak Trees (Lv 15)The Falador Area is a decent area for lower-level lumberjacks as it containslow level trees (mostly Oaks, some normal trees) & is just a short walk tothe Eastern Falador Bank. You'll need some combat as you may run across a fewHighwaymen in the area. 10) Feeding for a Lifetime -- A Fisherman's Guide----------------------------------------------------As the old saying goes, "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day... Teacha man to fish & you feed him for a lifetime." Fishing is one skill that someplayers may neglect, but it has a good moneymaking potential once you get itup to a moderate level. When a player who's buying food is confronted withhigh-level Baker & a high-level Fisherman, the player will most likely buyfrom the fisherman first.It's fairly easy to go fishing once you know how. First of all, you need tograb the fishing gear for the fish you want to catch. Next, you'll need tohit a Fishing Spot (areas marked with a fish on the map). Once you're ata Fishing Spot, locate a fishing "Hot Spot" (a spot on the water that looksactive) & click on it to start fishing. If you have multiple fishing toolson hand, you may have to select the tool you want to use first. All you haveto do once you start is sit back, play around with the camera (so you don'tget disconnected) & wait for the fish to come to you.10.1) Tackling Your Toolbox -- An Equipment Guide~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As you'll commonly need different stuff to catch different fish in real life,the same holds true in RuneScape. You'll need different equipment to catchdifferent fish in the game. Here's a short list of tools you'll be able topick up & use as well as the fish that can be caught using those tools.All the items listed here can be purchased at the Port Sarim Fishing Store.Please be aware that anything listed next to the tool is an item you'll needto use that tool & must be obtained separately.The level listed next to the fish is the level required to catch it.+----+------------------------------+-------------------+---------------+ Lv Tool Fish Available Cooking Rq'ed +----+------------------------------+-------------------+---------------+ 01 Small Net Shrimp (Lv 1) Lv 1 Anchovies (Lv 15) Lv 10 05 Fishing Rod (& Bait) Sardines (Lv 5) Lv 5 Herring (Lv 10) Lv 10 Pike (Lv 25) Lv 20 20 Fly Fishing Rod (& Feathers) Trout (Lv 20) Lv 15 Salmon (Lv 30) Lv 25 35 Harpoon Tuna (Lv 35) Lv 30 Swordfish (Lv 50) Lv 45 40 Lobster Pot Lobster (Lv 40) Lv 40 +----+------------------------------+-------------------+---------------+ Note: List only includes fish that can be caught by free players. There are better tools & fish for members, but ONLY A FEW. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+Please be aware that when you can fish for the higher level fish with thesame tool, you'll randomly catch a few higher-level fish. For example, ifyou have Lv 30 Fishing & using the Fly Fishing Rod, you'll catch salmon around20% of the time (about 1/5 fish) & the rest will be trout.10.2) The Perfect Storm... & Other Unenjoyable Events~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Like the movies, there's always something that can ruin your enjoyment.RuneScape is no exception as there's 3 fishing-specific random events thatcan happen.10.2.1) River Trolls***********************Like other skills you work on, if you fish too long in one area, a River Trollmay pop up & say "Fishies be mine, leave dem fishies!" shortly before itattacks you. The troll's combat level is based on your combat level (whichwill make the river troll between Lv 29 & 120), so you'll most likely want torun away for a minute or two since you may not be able to defeat it.10.2.2) Whirlpools*********************Whirlpools are another annoying even that will destroy a fishing spot for afew minutes. If you're foolish enough to fish while there's a whirlpool,you'll lose your fishing gear & you'll have to buy a replacement.10.2.3) Big Fish*******************If you've ever seen "Big Bass" from Super Mario Bros. 3 (or Super Mario 64.It's the big fish that would eat you when it has a chance), you have a goodidea what happens here. The Big Fish, which is big & green, will eat yourfishing gear & spit up your gear somewhere in the area. All you can do isstop fishing immediately & wait for the fish to pass by before resuming.If you happen to get your gear eaten, look around the area nearby or justbuy a replacement, which would probably save you time in the long run.10.3) The RuneScape Angler -- A Fishing Review~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When fishing, you'll probably want to know where the good fishing spots areso you aren't wasting time fishing in poor areas. Here's a review of a fewgood spots.-> Southern Draynor <-**********************Fishing Type: OceanFish Available: + Shrimp (Lv 1) + Anchovies (Lv 15) + Sardines (Lv 5) + Herring (Lv 10)Southern Draynor is like THE starting spot for beginning fishermen as it'snearby a bank & a lot of players who are working are training on the willowsin the area for Woodcutting & Firestarting, so it's pretty easy to find a fireto cook your fish.-> Lumbridge River, Near Lumbridge <-*************************************Fishing Type: RiverFish Available: + Trout (Lv 20) + Salmon (Lv 30) + Pike (Lv 25)Lumbridge River near Lumbridge is a fairly decent spot to fish at once youget up to Lv 20 as it's a pretty quiet fishing spot, despite the trainingthat's going on by low-level players. Fires aren't as abundant here & thenearest bank is in Al-Kharid. If you've completed the "Rescue Prince Ali"quest, it's a pretty good fishing spot as there's a stove you can use nearthe bank. Otherwise, you may want to pass on this spot since you'll bepaying around 20g per run in tolls.-> Lumbridge River, Near Barbarian Village <-*********************************************Fishing Type: RiverFish Available: + Trout (Lv 20) + Salmon (Lv 30) + Pike (Lv 25)Lumbridge River near Barbarian Village is a pretty popular fishing spot forriver fishing. There's two fires in the Barbarian pub that you can use tocook your fish & you have a choice of two banks (Edgeville & West Varrock) tostore your fish, which is a fair walk. The one upside with this spot is thatyou don't have to pay any tolls.-> Southern Al-Kharid <-************************Fishing Type: OceanFish Available: + Shrimp (Lv 1) + Anchovies (Lv 15)Southern Al-Kharid fishing spot is located just south of the Al-Kharid bank.There's a stove available to cook your fish just north of the bank or a fairwalk eastward. Since this area contains only low-level fish, it's not thatpopular with players. Low Level fishermen usually skip this area becauseit's relatively out of the way.-> Karamja <-*************Fishing Type: OceanFish Available: + Shrimp (Lv 1) + Sardines (Lv 5) + Herring (Lv 10) + Anchovies (Lv 15) + Tuna (Lv 35) + Lobster (Lv 40) + Swordfish (Lv 50)Karamja is THE ONLY spot you can fish for tuna, swordfish & lobsters on freeservers & all the high-level fishermen stop here to fish. You can also usethis area to fish the low-level fish as well, but with other areas are bettersuited to train the beginner fishermen.There are about 4 downsides to fishing here.1) It's fairly crowded, so expect multiple people fishing at the same time. So expect some fishing delays (longer than normal)2) It's a fairly remote place on the free servers. So it'll take a while to travel between here & the nearest bank (East Falador)3) It costs 60G per round trip. However, you can earn boat fare by packing bananas (30G per crate) or selling fish at the Karmaja General Store.4) No Range or good firewood trees nearby. So you'll need to bring your own firewood (like Oak or Willow) to cook your catch. There's a regular tree near Luthas's House, but it won't burn for long.11) Dinner! -- A Cooking Guide---------------------------------Cooking is one skill that EVERYBODY will need to know as it turns raw meats& ingredients into edible, health-restoring food. However, this skill may beunder appreciated by some players as they prefer to buy cooked food from otherplayers. To help make you more independent, this is a skill that you'll needto work on.11.1) Basic Cooking~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Like I really need to tell you, cooking involves one crucial ingredient: FIRE!Whether it's a bonfire or a stove, you need a source of fire to cook your food.For basic cooking, all you do is cook raw meat, chicken & fish over an openfire. Once you get a fire started, click on the raw piece of food (meat,chicken or fish) & then click on the fire. A mini-menu will pop up in thechat window asking what you want to cook (or more importantly, HOW MANY youwant to cook). If you click on the one, you'll only cook one piece. If youwant to cook multiple items in one go, right-click & select the number youdesire or just click "Cook All" to make it easy on you.As you cook, you will notice that some of the food that you've cooked is burntby accident. At low levels, expect this to happen frequently as it's a signof your inexperience. As your cooking levels increase beyond the minimum forthat piece of food, the less likely you'll burn it. This means by Lv 15Cooking, you'll be able to Shrimp without burning a lot of them (you mightburn like 1-2 at the most), but you'll burn about 8-12 Trout at that level asyou're just started with Trout.11.1.1) Meat Cooking Table*****************************This table shows what level you'll need to start cooking a specific meat as wellas the healing potential. Please be aware that this list only goes up to Lv 45as Swordfish is the highest healing "simple" food. However, members usually gofishing for Shark when they have the fishing & cooking levels.+----+-----------------+---------+ Lv Meat HP Rec. +----+-----------------+---------+ 01 Raw Beef 3 HP 01 Bear / Rat Meat 3 HP 01 Chicken 3 HP 01 Shrimp 3 HP 01 Sardine 4 HP 05 Herring 5 HP 10 Mackerel 6 HP 15 Anchovies 3 HP 15 Trout 7 HP 18 Cod 7 HP 20 Pike 8 HP 25 Salmon 9 HP 30 Tuna 10 HP 40 Lobster 12 HP 45 Swordfish 14 HP .. ... ... +----+-----------------+---------+11.2) From Butcher to Baker~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As you work up your cooking skills, you consider try your hand at baking.Baking is a slower & more labor-intensive task as it requires you to use twoor more ingredients (even if it's just flour & water) & you have to use astove to cook your baked goods. However, Baked goods usually heal more thanplain meat. As the recipes will be listed in the next section of the guide(11.3), here's how to get the flour you'll need for most of your baking needs.Please be aware that you'll need pots to store & carry the flour.First thing you need to do is grab some grain. Head to a wheat field (whichare available south of Varrock & near the windmill between Lumbridge & Draynor)& pick up as much as you like. Next, you'll have to head to a windmill. Theonly windmill that's accessible to everybody is the windmill between Lumbridge& Draynor. Just head north when you reach the T-crossing.Each Windmill is a 3-story building. The first floor (entrance) is where youpick up your flour. The 2nd floor is the grinding floor, where the grain isground into flour (boring...). The 3rd floor is the control center of thewindmill. You place a piece of grain in the hopper & then you pull the leverto grind the grain. You'll be moving between the hopper & the levers a lotsince you have to place each piece of grain into the hopper before you cangrind it. Once all the grain is ground into flour, head back to the firstfloor to pick up the flour. Please be aware that you'll need pots to storethe flour. If you don't have any pots on hand, head to the nearest generalstore & buy a few OR if you're near Lumbridge, you can nick a few pots fromthe kitchen. Don't worry about leaving your flour unattended as it'll bewaiting for you when you get back.Once you have the empty pots, just click on the flour hopper to fill the pots.11.3) Mastering Your Cookbook~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In order to become a master chef, you need to know how to prepare the foodyou want for make.

All you need to get in isLv 32 Cooking & a Chef's hat. The Guild master lobbied for white aprons aswell, but dropped it after several guild members had their weapons pointed athis throat. The Chef's Guild has almost everything you need to make ApplePies & Wine. The guild also have tools you'll need to make cakes & it's theonly known spot to score chocolate bars (apart from the food stores)The Chef's guild has it's own Windmill to make your own flour, but the closestwheat field is south of Varrock. Just plan ahead & take any extra ingredientsthat you'll need (milk, eggs, ect.) when cooking here.12) "Twenty to Life" -- A Miner's & Blacksmith's Guide---------------------------------------------------------Mining & Smithing skills pretty much go hand-in-hand with each other. Miningallow you to obtain the ores from the mines & Smithing allows you to refinethe ores into bars & craft the bars into equipment. Like all other skills,you'll be restricted to the most basic ores first & you'll have to work yourway up to the more valuable ores.In order to prevent some frustration with mining & smithing, mine ONLY theores that you can actually use as your mining skill will most likely be a lothigher than your smithing skills. Mining the higher-level ores like Mithril& gold will be useless to you unless you have the smithing levels to refinethem. You could try selling off the ores to others, but usually those whobuy ores are usually rich & too lazy to actually mine it themselves.12.1) Mining Your Way to China~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~First of all, you'll need a pickaxe to mine the ores. Then you'll have tohead to a mine (which are the brown pickaxe icons on the map. The gold iconis the Mining store). Some mines are pretty safe as there's no aggressivemonsters to attack you, but there are other mines that can be pretty tough towork due to the "company" that's there.If you're unsure what ore a rock has, you can prospect it to find out. Thisis helpful so you know what that rock holds. That way you're not trying tomine a rock that's above your skill level. There's also a visual clue towhat ore is in the rock by it's color.Dark Grey = No Ore currently AvailableTan = ClayLight Brown = CopperGrey = TinDark Brown = IronLight Grey = SilverDark Green = CoalYellow = GoldViolet-Blue = MithrilGreen = AdamantiteBlue (?) = RuniteNOTE: Please be aware that it may be hard to distinguish Dark Brown & DarkGreen. I originally had both Iron & Coal listed as Dark Brown until DaleronHastur pointed this out. Upon a very close inspection (my nose was almosttouching the screen), there is a color difference that I wasn't able to tellat normal viewing distance... and the fact that I have slight red/greencolorblindness. If you can tell the difference between Dark Brown (HTMLcolor #5C4033) & Dark Green (#006400), you're not colorblind in the red/greenspectrum.You should be aware that players will a better pickaxe & higher mining skillwill usually out-mine a lower skilled player should both of them try to minethe same rock. If there's others (1-2 others) in the area that's mining thesame stuff as you, it can be beneficial to strike up a verbal agreement withthem. Sharing the mine's resources can benefit everybody instead of helpingthe best-skilled miner for a specific ore. UNFORTUNATELY, most players justmine any rock that has ore as they please, regardless who else is there.March, 2006 Update: As part of the graphical modification in the game, morerocks in the various mines (pretty much Rimmington, Barbarian Village & theCrafter's Guide are the most noticeable) are going more subtitle. The miningrocks now show streaks of color in relation to the ore in earth-brown rocks.12.2) A Beginner's Mine List~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Here's the list of all the possible ores you can mine.+----+------------------------+----+-------------------------+ Lv Ore Lv Ore +----+------------------------+----+-------------------------+ 01 Clay* 20 Silver* 01 Copper 30 Coal 01 Tin 40 Gold* 01 Rune Essence** 55 Mithril 10 Blurite*** 70 Adamantite 15 Iron 85 Runite +----+------------------------+----+-------------------------+ Notes: * -- Crafting Item ** -- Must Complete the Rune Mysteries Quest to get access *** -- Quest-Required Ore +------------------------------------------------------------+If you're planning on picking up the best pickaxe you can get your hands onbefore you start mining, DON'T! Just like combat skills, you can only use apickaxe that corresponds to your mining level. It would be pointless to spendthousands of gold coins for a rune pickaxe when all you can use is iron.Here's a general price list for the pickaxes. Please be aware that prices(especially street prices) will vary.+----+--------------+------------+--------------+ Lv Pickaxe Type Shop Price Street Price +----+--------------+------------+--------------+ 01 Bronze 5 G! 1 G 01 Iron N / A 50 G 06 Steel 500 G 250 G 21 Mithril 1,300 G 1,000 G 31 Adamantite 3,200 G* 3,000 G 41 Runite 32,000 G* 32,000 G +----+--------------+------------+--------------+ * - Subject to verification ! - You can usually find this for free +-----------------------------------------------+Again, please be aware that levels listed is what you need to use the toolwithout equipping it. To equip the tool AS A WEAPON, your attack skill needsto be one level lower than listed above.12.3) Heads Up! -- Random Mining Events~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~While working in the mines, you may run into some unexpected things in theprocess. You should be aware of these random events that could happen whileyou're mining. Please note that are are more random events inside the gamethan these, but these are mining-related.12.3.1) Finding a Gem************************This is actually a good random event. While mining for ore, you'll eventuallyfind a random uncut gem (Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby or even Diamond for freeusers). You won't get much money for uncut gems, so try to take advantage ofa BONDED Craftsman to cut the gems for you if you don't have the craftingskills (Lv 20 minimum) to cut the gems yourself.You can either sell the games to other players for money or store them in thebank until you're ready to use them in making gold jewelry. Sapphires are themost common & least valuable gem, which normally goes for 50 - 500 G / ea uncutwhile cut gems are generally worth less (people like cutting their own gems).I don't really have to say it, but the better the gem, the more it's worth.12.3.2) Losing Your (Axe Head)*********************************This is an annoying random event, but it'll stop you from mining for a whileas you'll need to pick up your axe head & reattach it to your axe handle tofix it. Once the pickaxe is fixed, you can resume your mining.Please make sure that you recover your pickaxe head PROMPTLY! If you don'tpick it up after a few minutes, it'll be available for everybody to grab.If somebody else picks up your pickaxe head, you may have to pay anotherplayer to reclaim it, which may cost thousands of gold pieces.If you find a pickaxe head without a handle, you can take it to the DwarvenMines' Mining Store & get it fixed for a fee.12.3.3) The Steaming Rock****************************This is not an immature joke & it can be a serious problem when it appears.Whenever a rock starts smoking or steaming, STOP MINING THAT ROCK IMMEDIATELY!That rock is about to explode & it will kill (or seriously injure) the minerwho tries to mine that rock as well as possibly destroy their pickaxe, shouldthey survive the explosion. All you can do is wait for the rock to stopsteaming before you proceed to mine it.It goes without saying that it's EXTREMELY BAD TO DIE IN A MINE as your fellowminers will loot your corpse & sell it at the nearest general store, if theydon't keep the items they picked up for themselves.12.3.4) The Rock Golem*************************This is a potentially dangerous event. A Rock Golem will only go after aspecific person when they appear & will have a combat level based on theperson it's attacking. Should you be the target of the Rock Golem, just runaway from the area for a few minutes as you'll be fighting on the losing sideof the one-sided battle.12.4) "Better Holes & Mineshafts" -- A Mining Review~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There's many mining spots in RuneScape, but some are better than others.Here's a review of some of mining spots in the free area of RuneScape.12.4.1) Rimmington Mine**************************Location: South of FaladorNearest Bank: Eastern FaladorOres Available: * Clay * Copper * Tin * Iron * GoldThis mine is more geared towards lower level miners (Under Lv 30) as it lacksthe higher level ores, except for gold (for crafting). There's no monstersin the area & it's not that crowded (compared to other mines), but there's areasonable walking distance to the nearest bank. I would recommend this minefor beginners & those who are mining gold.12.4.2) Dwarven Mine***********************Location: South of Ice Mountain & NE FaladorNearest Bank(s): Edgeville & Eastern FaladorOres Available: * Clay * Copper * Tin * Iron * Coal * Gold * Mithril * AdamantiteThis mine is the MOST POPULAR MINE on the free servers! There's so muchtraffic here that there's TWO ENTRANCES to the mine. The northern entrance(south of Ice Mountain) is more for the low level players as there's onlydwarves (who are passive) while the southern entrance (NE Falador) is litteredwith scorpions & the King Scorpion & is more geared for higher level players.The Dwarven mine contains practically all ores (except Silver & Runite),making it practically a one-stop shop for all your mining needs. Because ofthe ores available here, the Dwarven mine is VERY CROWDED & it can be hard tomine ores against higher level miners. If your combat level is around Lv 20,you should be able to handle the scorpions, but you'll need around Lv 30combat to handle the King scorpions with a few pieces of food on hand.The Dwarven mine includes the Miner's Guild (Lv 60 Mining required), a fewanvils (to shape the bars) & the only mining shops on the free servers. Thismine is suggested for players with decent combat skills & moderate (Lv 20)Mining would do fairly well here. If you're a member, you can use Dwarvenmine to reach the Keldoran mine (where the "superfurnace" is) for a small fee.12.4.3) Scorpion Mine (aka Scorpion Pit)*******************************************Location: North of Al-KharidNearest Bank: Al-KharidOres Available: * Copper * Tin * Iron * Silver * Coal * Gold * Mithril * AdamantiteThe Scorpion Mine is a good compliment to the Dwarven Mines as it has all theores you'll want to mine, except Runite. You can take all your ores toAl-Kharid to smelt & store, which makes this mine fairly crowded.The only minor problem with this mine are the scorpions. As long as you havearound Lv 20 combat & a few pieces of food, you should be able to handlethis mine just fine. All you'll have to fight are your fellow miners.12.4.4) SE Varrock Mine**************************Location: South of Varrock's Eastern GateNearest Bank: Eastern VarrockOres Available: * Clay * Copper * Tin * IronThis mine is practically a beginner's mine as it contains ores that only thelow level miners can use & is ALWAYS CROWDED with people. The mine has noaggressive monsters in the area, so you don't need any combat skills.The iron ore is usually fought amongst the miners, so the higher level minersusually get them.This mine is more power miners since you have to go to Al-Kharid or Lumbridgeto smith the ores & others just prefer to bank their ores & go to Al-Kharid ata later time for power smithing.If you're a beginner, you may want to visit this mine... otherwise, skip it.12.4.5) SW Varrock Mine**************************Location: West of Varrock's Southern GateNearest Bank: Western VarrockOres Available: * Clay * Tin * Iron * SilverThis is a decent mine for those who have Lv 15 mining or higher as the tinore is pretty useless without copper. The Iron & Silver is fairly sparsehere, but it may not be crowded because a few upper-level miners hog the ores.12.4.6) Barbarian Mine*************************Location: Barbarian's VillageNearest Bank: EdgevilleOres Available: * Tin * CoalThis is one of the worst mines in the game. The Tin's useless due to thelack of copper & there's only 4 coal rocks, which are ALWAYS COVERED by atleast one mid-to-high level miner. Just move on as you'll be wasting yourtime trying to mine the coal from these miners.Due to updates to the Barbarian Village, the rocks in the mining area havebeen moved & the barbarians around the area are harder than before... thismakes this mine even less desirable than before.12.4.7) Wizard's Mine*********************Location: East of Wizard's TowerNearest Bank: Draynor VillageNOTE: Due to modifications to the game, this mine was moved & has beenrenamed to suit it's new location.Ores Available: * Coal * Mithril * AdamantiteThis mine is pretty good for the mid-to-high level miners (Lv 30 mining) asit has a good amount of Coal, Mithril & Adamantite rocks to mine. Since itis relatively far from a bank, some players may skip it. However, it has areasonable crowd & probably one of the best spots to mine coal... apart fromthe Mining Guild area.12.4.8) Edgeville Mine*************************Location: Sewers of Edgeville / NE of Barbarian VillageNearest Bank: Edgeville / Western VarrockOres Available: * Copper * Tin * Silver * Coal * Mithril * AdamantiteThis mine actually resides in the sewers of Edgeville & has two entrances.The one is located in Edgeville & the other entrance is located NE of theBarbarian Village, which is over the Lumbridge River. However, the southernentrance is LOCKED & you need the brass key to access it (which can be boughtoff another player for 50-200 G).Unless you have good combat skills (Lv 35 general combat) & some food on hand,you should avoid this mine. Most players visit the Edgeville sewers as atraining ground. You'll most likely have to confront Lv 24 Zombies, Lv 28/48Hobgoblins & Lv 22/25 Skeletons WHILE MINING! Unless your desperate for someof the higher-level ores (coal & up), don't bother visiting this mine.12.4.9) Skeleton Mine************************Location: Lv 9 Wilderness, NE of EdgevilleNearest Bank: EdgevilleOres Available: * CoalWhile this mine is located in the Wilderness, there's not a lot of traffic tothis mine. You won't get a lot of PKers, but there's plenty of skeletons(hence the name) to bother you. Unless you really want (or need) coal, Iwould suggest passing on this mine.12.4.10) Hobgoblin Mine**************************Location: Lv 32 Wilderness, North of EdgevilleNearest Bank: EdgevilleOres Available: * Iron * Coal * Mithril * AdamantiteDeep within the Wilderness, this mine becomes an occasional target for PKers& the hobgoblins in the area will keep you distracted from mining. This mine,however, contains a good lot of ores. It's probably best to carry some runesto cast teleport to make your return trip short & safe.12.4.11) Runite Mine**********************Location: Lv 48 Wilderness, North of EdgevilleNearest Bank: EdgevilleOres Available: * RuniteThis is the ONLY MINE that contains Runite for free players! With this inmind & being in the Wilderness... it makes it EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to mine asyou can expect to see PKers here. If you have a Members Subscription, lookelsewhere for Runite as research shows that there are safer mining places forRunite. If you're a free member with high mining, smithing & combat skills(ESPECIALLY THE COMBAT SKILLS), you'll just have to go for it! Just make surethat you have some food on hand as well as the runes to teleport before makingthe trek out there.12.4.12) Lumbridge Mine**************************Location: South of Lumbridge (near swamp)Nearest Bank: Al-Kharid / Draynor VillageOres Available: * Clay * Bronze * TinThis is a new mine that has replaced the old Lumbridge Swamp Mine. This mineis designed specifically for new players to get started on the mining skill.There's not much here for any skilled miners, but it's perfectly fine fornew users to get started...12.5) Smithing up a Sweat -- Beginner's Smelting~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Even though you can eventually mine your way into fortune by selling the oresyou mine to other players, but you can make more money by refining the oresyourself into usable bars. All you need to smelt your own bars are the oresneeded for that type of bar & a smelting furnace. You can find the furnaceson the map, but the most commonly used furnaces on the free servers are inFalador & Al-Kharid.+----+-------------+-----------------------+ Lv Bar to Make Ores Needed +----+-------------+-----------------------+ 01 Bronze 1 Copper + 1 Tin 15 Iron* 1 Iron 20 Silver** 1 Silver 30 Steel 1 Iron + 2 Coal 40 Gold** 1 Gold 50 Mithril 1 Mithril + 4 Coal 70 Adamantite 1 Adamantite + 6 Coal 85 Runite 1 Runite + 8 Coal +----+-------------+-----------------------+ * - Iron has a 50% chance of failure ** - Silver & Gold is for crafting only +------------------------------------------+If you're planning on smithing multiple bars in one go (which becomes lessable with the higher-level bars), just click on the furnace to bring up thelist of possible bars. Then right-click on the bar you want to smelt &select the multiple of bars you want to make (using the "Make X" option wouldbe the best method). You'll keep smithing bars until one of the followinghappens.1) You complete the amount you've requested2) Your Smithing level goes up3) You run out of smithing supplies4) A Random Event occursIf you're in an area that's pretty inconvenient to reach a smelting furnace or abank, you can use the "Superheat" spell (requires 1 Nature & 3 Fire runes forthose who have Lv 43 Magic) to smelt the ores (& coal, if needed) right whereyou're at! The "Superheat" spell also carries a 100% guaranteed smelting ratefor all metals, so you can guarantee that each iron ore will become an ironbar by using that spell. Since the "Superheat" spell costs around 200g peruse (based on the cost of the Nature runes only, since those who will actuallyuse the spell will have a fire staff), it's best to save this spell for thehigher-level metals like Mithril, Adamantite & Runite due to their relativelyhigh coal requirements.On members servers, there's a special furnace called the Keldoran Furnace thatrequires only HALF the coal to smelt your ores. HOWEVER, this furnace doesrequire the assistance of 5 players to operate & maintain the furnace withtheir respective skills (Strength, Agility, ect.) for each station at Lv 30or higher. Everybody who keep the furnace operational will receive smithingexperience as well as the skill that station requires.12.6) Anvil by Acme, Equipment by You~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Once you have the bars from smelting, you can turn the bars into usableequipment. You will need a hammer, the bars you want to smith & access to ananvil to work on. On the World Map, just look for the Anvil Symbol. The mostcommon areas to do all your smithing are Varrock & Doric's House, which isnorth of Falador (Completion of "Doric's Quest" required to use them) on thefree worlds. There are anvils in the Dwarven Mines & Draynor Sewers, but theyare really out of the way to be useful for most players.To bring up the smithing window, just click on the bar you want to use & thenthe anvil. All the possible items that you can make at the time will belisted in white. You should also be aware that some items will requiremultiple bars, so you'll need to check that requirement as well. To help youout, the game uses the Red/Green indicator with the bar text (green = you haveenough). Like all other skills, you'll be limited to what you'll be able tomake at the start of each bar you can smith, you'll eventually be able tosmith more items as your skill level increase. You can then sell your itemsto other on the street or sell them to the shops. Unless you're sellingsteel items or better, you sell your items to the shops or give them to thelower-level players... if you feel generous.Please be aware that Silver & Gold are "Crafting Metals", which can only beused in crafting jewelry & not combat equipment. Because of this, they'redependent on your crafting skills instead of your smithing skills after yourefine them into bars.13) Stitching Time -- A Craftsman's Guide--------------------------------------------Crafting is a nice skill to have as it can be useful in generating funds, butit's one skill that doesn't have much use outside the members servers. Youshould still develop this skill as it can be a steady income source once youreach Lv 40.13.1) Creating with Clay~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Before you can do any fancy craft work, you have to get your hands dirty withclay. First you need to mine for hard clay, which you can pick up in the SWVarrock Mine & the Dwarven Mines. Once you have your inventory full of clay,swap your pickaxe with a bucket. Fill up your bucket with water from a wellor a fountain & then use it on the hard clay to soften it up. Repeat thisuntil all your clay is soft.Now, head towards the Barbarian Village (avoid talking to any barbarians, unless you can defeat them) as it's the only public on the free servers thathas a potter's wheel & a pottery furnace. Click on the potter's wheel & amenu will pop up in the chat window. Select the item you want to make (orjust right-click it for the multiple crafting options) & off you go. You'llonly be able to craft pots at the start, but you'll eventually progress topie plates & bowls. Once you've formed the play into the items you want,it's time to fire them up into hard, usable items. Just click on the potteryfurnace & select the same option you used on the pottery wheel to fire up theitems. Please be aware that some items will crack inside the pottery furnace& will break before you get them back. Once the items are fired, you can usethem to store flour or for cooking.Clay pottery is nothing more than busywork as the pottery is practicallyworthless. You might be able to get a coin or two for a pie plate or bowl,but that's ALL you'll get. Either drop the pottery that you don't need ORstore the pottery in the bank for future cooking.13.2) Branded for Life -- A Leather Worker's Guide~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Once you get your Crafting Skill beyond Lv 7 & have around 100 G on hand, youcan start getting into Leather work. Again, you'll start with a fairlylimited menu of leather items, but you'll eventually work your way up intomore intricate leather items.First thing you'll need to do is make the leather. If you haven't guessed itby now, you'll need cow hides. The best spot to get cow hides is the CowRanch near Lumbridge. Just enter the cow pasture & attack any cow that's notfighting another player. When you kill a cow, it'll drop three items: bones,raw beef & cow hide. Again, it doesn't hurt to grab & bury the bones toincrease your prayer EXP, but it's the cow hide that you really want.If you're running low on HP, cook some raw beef & eat it as needed. Once youhave like 20 or so cowhides, it's off to the tanner. The only publiclyaccessible tanner on the free servers is in Al Kharid. There's two ways toget there: The Quick Way (costs 10 G) or the free way. The quick way isthrough the toll gate. If you haven't completed the "Rescue Prince Ali"quest yet, you'll have to pay the 10 G toll. If you don't want to pay thetoll, you have to follow the road north & turn to the right to get to the gapin the desert fence to reach Al-Kharid.Once you've reached the tanner, you'll have to pay him 1 G per cow hide toturn it into soft leather. Don't bother spending the 3 G for hard leather atthis time as you won't be able to use it until your Crafting skill is aroundLv 30. Once you have the soft leather, it's time to pull out your needle &thread. If you don't have these, you can visit the crafting store nearby &buy them for 1 G a piece. Needles will last you a lifetime, but you can onlymake 5 items per spool of thread, so you will want to buy your thread in bulkso you won't run out while you're crafting items. Since thread is such acheap item, you can easily buy 10 spools of thread without breaking seriouslyhurting your pocketbook.To craft the leather into usable equipment, click on the needle & then theleather to bring up the crafting menu in the game window. Then click (orright-click to make multiples) on the item you want to make to craft the item& each item requires 1 piece of leather & 1/5 spool of thread. At the start,you'll be restricted to gloves & boots, but as your crafting level increases,the more items you can make.Unless you're training as an archer, you'll most likely want to sell theleather items you've crafted. You will not get a lot of money for the leatheritems you make, but you'll at least break even or make a small profit.13.3) Silver & Gold -- Jewelry Maker's Friends~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Unless you have your Mining & Smelting skills at Lv 20 or higher (Lv 40preferred), you'll want to skip this section at this time as you won't be ableto make much use for this section. Silver & Gold are the special craftingmetals that can be used to make jewelry, which can be enchanted later.If you're planning to work with Silver, you'll need your mining & smeltingskills at Lv 20 & Gold requires Lv 40 of these skills. However, the craftinglevel need to use these bars are lower.To make any type of jewelry, you'll need the proper mold. For Silver, themolds that are available are: Holy Mold, Unholy Mold (MEMBERS) & Tiara Mold.For Gold, the molds that are available are: Ring Mold, Necklace Mold & AmuletMold. To craft in Silver, you'll need around Lv 20 Crafting to start.However, you only need Lv 5 Crafting to start crafting Gold.To craft in Silver, you take the mold of the item you want to make & thesilver bars. Click on the Silver bar & then on the smelting furnace tobring up the "Silver Crafting" Menu in the chat window. Just click (orright-click for multiples) on the item you want to make. For "Holy Symbols",you can string them by using a ball of wool (see next section) & then get themblessed at the Monastery.Tiaras were added to the game in June, 2005 & have gained in popularity tomake as they can be infused with talismans to make "wearable talismans" soplayers can reach the rune alters without have to keep a talisman in theirinventory. Tiaras require Lv 23 crafting to make. See Section 14.3 for moreinformation about Tiara infusion.To craft in Gold, you take the mold of the item you want to make & the goldbars. Click on the gold bar & then the smelting furnace to bring up the "GoldCrafting" Menu in the game window. Just click (or right-click for multiples)on the item you want make. If you want to include a gem with your goldjewelery, you have to take it with you to the smelting furnace. Please beaware that the more valuable the gem you use, the higher your Crafting skillneeds to be. For gemless jewelry, you only need around Lv 5 Crafting. If youwant to make Sapphire jewelry, the requirement goes up to around Lv 15 & itincreases higher each gem. Gemmed jewelry can later be enchanted by magic,which will make it more valuable. Free Players can only equip enchantedamulets, but members can equip enchanted rings & necklaces.Gemmed jewelry also gives you more crafting experience & more money thangemless jewelry, so try to get some gems (buy uncut gems when possible to savemoney & cut them yourself) before you make any jewelry. If you have friendsthat want a piece of jewelry & have the gem, but not the gold (or the craftinglevels to make it themselves), you may want to be nice & make the jewelry forthem for the experience.13.4) Sheer Busy Work -- The Other Crafts~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The other craft work you can do is pretty much busy work. They're helpful toknow how to do, but you won't use these crafts that often. They're Spinning& Gem Cutting.Spinning is a pretty easy skill to learn, but it's somewhat time consuming.You first have to obtain the material you want to turn into a thread, which iseither wool or flax (Members). To obtain wool, you need to grab a pair ofsheers (costs around 5 G) & head to a sheep pasture. One of the most easilyaccessible sheep pasture is just north of Lumbridge Castle. Don't be toodiscouraged if the sheep get away from you while sheering them, just tryagain until you get them. Once you have the raw wool, take it to a spinningwheel (they're marked on the map). For your convenience , the nearest spinningwheel to the Lumbridge Pasture is the 2nd Floor of Lumbridge Castle. Justclick on the spinning wheel & then click (or right-click for multiples) thefiber you want to spin. The balls of wool can be used to string amulets &symbols as well as to make rope, fishing nets & even wigs. Flax & otherfibers are a members-only option & is mainly used to create bowstrings forfletching (by spinning flax, which requires Lv 10 crafting) & other items.Gem Cutting is another rarely used crafting skill because finding uncut gemsis pretty rare for free players & you need Lv 20 Crafting to start cuttinggems (starting with sapphires). It's cheaper to obtain uncut gems & cut themyourself instead of buying the cut gems from the market. Uncut gems can costaround 200 G a piece while cut gems can easily go over 2000 G.14) Next on The Frugal Magician, RuneCrafting!-------------------------------------------------Once you've completed the Rune Mysteries Quest, you'll be able to mine runeessence & make your own runes. In order to make your own runes, you'll needtwo things: some rune essence (the "Blank Slate" of runes) & the talisman ortiara of the rune you want to make.When you complete the Rune Mysteries Quest, you'll be given the Air Talisman,which is the entry-level rune to craft. Each Talisman has two functions.The primary function of the Talisman is to act as a key to that Rune Alter.Without the talisman, you can access that alter. The secondary function ofthe talisman is to act as a compass to that Rune Alter. By right-clicking &selecting the "Locate Talisman", it'll tell you what direction you should go.Be aware that you'll periodically need to use the locate function so you canget closer to the Rune Alter. Once you know WHERE the Rune Alter is for thattalisman, you can later infuse it into a tiara. Tiaras are a wearable formof talismans & will be discussed in the next section (14.1).To reach the Essence Mine, you'll have to talk to a trusted keeper of the mine(the Rune Shop in East Varrock & the leader of Wizard's Tower) to get teleported to the mine. Once in the Essence Mine, you'll have to make yourway to a rune essence lodestone & mine it as much as you can carry. To leavethe Essence Mine, just take an exit portal (marked on the map with an arrow)to return from where you teleported from.To make runes, you need to take the talisman (or wear the appropriate tiara) &some rune essence to the "Rune Gate" (it looks like a weird group of stonesthat emanating a strange force). You must use your talisman on the Rune Gateto teleport to the Rune Alter. If you're wearing the tiara, you just have toclick on the Rune Gate to reach the alter. To craft the rune essence to thattype of rune, just click on the rune alter & all the rune essence in yourinventory will be crafted at once. All the runes you craft will stack intoone inventory slot.As your rune crafting skill increase, you'll be able to craft other runes aswell as making multiple runes as starting as low as Lv 11 (with Air runes).The ability to make multiple runes from a single rune essence will depend onyour rune crafting level & the type of rune. The higher the requirement tocraft one rune, the harder it'll be to make multiples.As of June, 2005, Members have the ability to make Combo Runes, which arerunes that have been crafted twice. These special runes only take up one slotin your inventory, but will count one for each basic type of rune that it wasmade from. To make a combo rune, you'll need the runes of one type & the runeessence to make the other type of rune for the combo rune. For example, ifyou want to make Mist Runes (Air & Water), you'll need around 26 Air runes &26 Rune Essence (to maintain the 1:1 ratio) for the Water runes or vice versa.The Rune Alter will automatically try to make the combo runes if when you makethe runes for the second part of the combo. However, there's a 50% chance offailure when trying to combine runes.I am sorry to report that I do not know what happens to the failed combinationattempts. The most probable result will be that you'll have runes of for bothtypes that didn't combine, but there's a possibility that the failed attemptswill destroy themselves. If you're a member & knows what happens with thefailed attempts, please contact me & I'll make sure you're added to thisguide as a correspondent.APRIL 20, 2006 UPDATE -- The makers of Runescape (& their infinite stupidity,in my opinion on this) have altered the nature of Rune Essence to curb peoplefrom breaking the Macro AND In-game purchase LAWS. People were using macrosto mind rune essence (violating the law the first time), sell the rune ess forgold, THEN sell the gold they made for REAL CASH (violating the second law)!Since the staff of Runescape are monitoring trades for unbalanced trades (asin one player giving another player stuff).As of the date listed above for this update, Rune Essence is hereby separatedinto two classes: Normal & Pure. Normal Rune Essence is the most common (asin free) & is restricted to the lower 6 rune alters (Body & lower). PureRune Essence can only be obtained by members (guaranteed for those with Lv 30mining), but it can be used with any Rune Alter (Chaos to Death). At thistime, there's been no major changes with the price of Normal Rune Essence.The largest potential change in prices is a +5 G / ea. change (bringing thestandard price to 25 G / ea.)14.1) Here's Ms. Air 2005 -- The Tiara Infusion Guide~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Once you get RuneCrafting down, you can turn your Talismans into Tiaras tomake it easier for you to get to the Rune Alters without having the fumblearound with a Talisman. In order to craft the specialized (Rune) tiara, youmust have a regular Tiara & the Talisman for the alter you want to make.Once you have the talisman & a regular (uninfused) tiara in your inventory(as well as some rune essence, to justify the trip), head to the rune alterthat corresponds to that Talisman. Once you're at the rune alter, you justclick on the talisman & then click on the rune alter to infuse the talismaninto the tiara. The alternate method is to right-click on the tiara, select"Use Tiara" & then click on the alter. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOUR TALISMANWILL BE PLACED INTO THE TIARA! You'll need one talisman & one tiara forevery Rune Tiara you wish to make.In order to make the tiara for a specific talisman, you MUST be able to craftthat type of rune. If your RuneCrafting Level is only at Lv 10, you'll beable to infuse tiaras up to Earth, but you won't be able to make Body Tiaras.The game will not allow you to infuse tiaras (or craft runes) beyond yourcurrent RuneCrafting Level.14.2) Rune Alter Locations for the Lost~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you, for some unknown reason, cannot find the Rune Alters yourself byusing the Talismans (or you're just too lazy to locate the alters yourself),here's the general locations for each of the Rune Alters that everybody (FreePlayers) can access. I am sorry to tell you that I cannot pinpoint thelocations of the alters in writing (this guide doesn't have pretty picturesof the map to help you), so please use the location function with thetalismans (by right-clicking on the talisman & the click locate) to helppinpoint the location.14.2.1) Air Alter********************Lv 1 RuneCrafting RequiredThe Air Alter can be found South of Falador & NW of the Southern FaladorT-intersection.14.2.2) Mind Alter*********************Lv 2 RuneCrafting RequiredThe Mind Alter can be found ENE of Goblin Village, West of the Black Knight'sFortress & North of Falador.If you're going to the alter from Falador, you'll have to go west & up thestaircase so you're at the right level before you can reach the alter.Please be aware that March, 2006 update has pushed the Mind Alter close enoughtowards the Wilderness enough that YOU WILL GET A WARNING about it. As longas you don't go too far from the grave-marker-like pillar (it has a cross-likecarving on top), you'll be OK.14.2.3) Water Alter**********************Lv 5 RuneCrafting RequiredThe Water Alter can be found in Lumbridge Swamp, which is south of Lumbridge,East of Wizard's Tower & SE of Draynor Village.Due to a wall that's constructed on the southern side of Lumbridge, you mustreach the alter from Wizard's Tower / Draynor.14.2.4) Earth Alter**********************Lv 9 RuneCrafting RequiredThe Earth Alter can be found ENE of Varrock Square & NE of Varrock's Easternentrance. If you follow the road northward from Varrock's Eastern Gate, theEarth Alter will just be a little ways East of the road's end.14.2.5) Fire Alter*********************Lv 14 RuneCrafting RequiredThe Fire Alter can be found NNE of Al-Kharid, SE of the Scorpion Mine & justa little north from the Duel Arena Entrance (Members area).14.2.6) Body Alter*********************Lv 20 RuneCrafting RequiredThe Body Alter can be found WNE of the Barbarian Village, South of theMonastery (Prayer Guild) & ESE of the Dwarven Mine.14.2.7) The Member Alters****************************Beyond Lv 20 RuneCrafting, Members can craft some of the Mid-Level Runes thatFree Members will pay up to 1,000 G a piece. Since Free players cannot accessthese Rune Alters, I'll abridge the information of the member-created runes.The list below is a general market guide for these mid-level runes.+----+--------+----------------------+-------+------------+--------------+ Lv Rune Common Usage Lv RQ Shop Price Street Price +----+--------+----------------------+-------+------------+--------------+ 27 Cosmic Jewelry Enchantments 7 50 G 200 G 35 Chaos Mid-Level Spells 13 125 G 100 G 44 Nature Instant Smelting 43 200 G 200 G 54 Law Teleportation Spells 25 125 G 1,000 G ?? Death Hi-Level Spells 41 200 G 200 G +----+--------+----------------------+-------+------------+--------------+ Notes: 1) Lv RQ is the LOWEST LEVEL your magic skill must be to make good use of that rune for their most common use. 2) Shop Price is the approximate price that general stores charge for their last rune. Shop Prices will vary based on their stock. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+April 20, 2006 Update: As part of the Rune Essence adjustment, Members arenow required to use PURE Rune Essence to make the mid & high level runes.Members must have Lv 30 mining to start mining pure rune essence. Pure RuneEssence has a rough market value of 50 G / ea. ============================ PART THREE ============================== ~THE BOOK OF SURVIVAL~This part of the guide is designed to help you survive & make it on your ownin RuneScape by revealing some of the unknowns that you may find. This partis most helpful for those who have managed to work on their skills & need alittle help with the human element as well as some of the chaos that thegame may throw at you.You'll usually find some nice gems in this section. Regardless if you're anewbie OR a veteran, this part of the guide will make you want to keep a copyof the entire thing (which is a nice form of flattery). ====================================================================== 15) I'm on a Quest... to Complete Other Quests--------------------------------------------------Eventually, you'll get bored enough that you'll want to go on quests. Someof the quests available in the game can be difficult to complete, but othersare pretty simple while some are just time consuming. All the quests willgive you quest points, which you'll need to enter the Champion's Guild &even the Hero's Guild on the member's servers, & some of the quests will giveyou some other rewards as well. Usually, the harder the quest you partake,the better the reward you get. This section contains only the quests thatfree players may partake.Before you actually start up any quests, PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THEWORLD OF RUNESCAPE! Don't go crying to me if you get yourself lost in thegame while you're working on a quest. I can't guide you through the questsin person. I can only show you the way to complete each quest, but you stillhave to complete the quests yourself.Since I cannot give you images of the map (as this is only a text guide), Iwill give you points of interests so you can use the World Map to help youfind these locations.15.1) Black Knights Fortress~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DIFFICULTY: HARDStarting Point: Falador Castle12 Quest Points RequiredSkills Required: * Some Combat (Lv 40 or higher preferred)Items Required: * Cabbages * Some High-Healing Food (like Tuna/Lobsters) * Iron Chain Mail * Bronze Med HelmEnemies Encountered: * Lv 31 Black KnightsPoints of Interest*********************+ Falador Castle is located in West Falador+ Black Knight's Fortress is North of Ice Mountain+ The Monastery (Prayer Guild) is NE of Dwarven Mine & East of Ice Mountain+ Chain Mail Shop is located in South Falador+ Helm Shop is located in NW Barbarian VillageWalkthough*************First obtain the iron chainmail & a bronze medium helmet.

These quests will vary in difficultyfrom Easy to EXTREME & one quest allows you to start training in Herbology.Since I don't have access to the Member Servers, this is where I leave thequest walkthough.16) Marketing Yourself -- A Moneymaking Guide-----------------------------------------------Once you've built up your skills, it's time to make a profit from them! Thissection is all about helping you line your pockets with gold. Here's a fewthings you can do to earn some money.WARNING: DO NOT MAKE A CHARACTER JUST TO PERFORM ONCE TASK REPEATEDLY!THE RUNESCAPE STAFF ARE CRACKING DOWN ON "SKILL PURES" (characters that arepurely trained in one skill area), SO YOU WILL NEED TO DIVERSIFY YOUR SKILLSOUT TO AVOID ATTRACTING ATTENTION OF THE ADMINS! "SKILL PURES" ARE A CLEARNWARNING SIGN OF A MACROER!!!Skill-Pure characters are usually used in conjunction with another high-levelcharacters (one that's more developed in the skill levels), which may makethe admins ban BOTH ACCOUNTS.16.1) Rune Essence Miner~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Requirements: About 5-15 minutes (per 100, pending on your skill)Operating Overhead: 0 GItems Required: * A Pickaxe * Completion of "Rune Mysteries Quest" * Lv 30 Mining or higher (Members, for Pure Rune Ess)There's people (usually mages) who craft large amounts of runes & don'twant to spend the time to mine the Rune Essence themselves. These playersalso buy in bulk, trying to pick up anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 notes worththe Rune Essences (item notes are required to transport large amounts ofitems that can't be stacked within inventory).To take advantage of this, go to the Varrock Rune Shop & talk to Aubury ORgo to Wizard's Tower & talk to the head Wizard to teleport to the Rune Essencemine. Once in the mine, go to one of the Rune Essence Lodestones & mine untilyou fill up your inventory. Take the nearest portal back to where you camefrom & head to the bank to drop off the Rune Ess you've mined. Repeat thisprocess until you feel like you have enough Rune Ess to sell.The best place to do your mining is in East Varrock as it has the shortestdistance between the Bank & the Rune ShopWhen you're ready to sell the Rune Essences, head to the bank & withdraw allthe Rune Essences at you want to sell as item notes. You must withdraw theessences as item notes so you can hold more than 28 of them. You can eitherwait for a buyer to show up or advertise that you're selling Rune Essences.You can either set the price you're willing to sell or let the buyer set theprice. You should, however, make sure that the per-item price you're gettingis at least 10 G a piece. The buyer will also make sure that you're priceisn't over 30 G a piece. Most players sell Rune Essences around 20 G each &Pure Rune Essence around 50 G eachPayout: 10 - 30 G / ea. or 1k - 3k G per 100 50 - 75 G / ea. or 5k - 7.5k G per 10016.2) Cape Makers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Requirements: 30 - 60 minutesOperating Overhead: 100 - 200 GItems Required: * Numerous Capes * Various DyesThis is one of the more laborious ventures, but you can make some quick moneyby selling various colored capes to others. People like to customize theircharacters by wearing different colored items & many will pay large amountsof money (upwards to 4,000 G) to buy them. These items are Capes, Gloves &Boots (members only?) that people like to buy. Unlike the Gloves & Boots,Capes are the easiest to make... granted you're willing to take the time.First thing you must do is obtain some capes. You can either buy them at ashop for 2 - 8 G a piece OR fight Lv 5 Highway Men south of Falador for free.Please note that most of the capes you buy will be red & most of the capesyou pick up from the Highway Men are Black. You will need at least 6 or 7capes to make a set of colored capes.Next, pick up the ingredients to make the dyes you need to color the capes(See Section 15.7 for information on making dyes). Please note that you willnot need any red dyes except for making Orange & Purple dyes if you've boughtyour capes. You will also make to make sure that you keep a few Black capesuntouched if you have some as you can sell it with your dyed capes.After dying your capes with the various colors, you're now ready to sell themin the street markets. You should keep a mental note that you'll need tosell each cape for a minimum of 30 G a piece to break even. However, you donot want to announce a fixed price for the capes as it can damage your incomepotential. If you allow the buy to name their price, you can make moneywhile appearing to save the buyer some money as well. You should only tellthe buyer your minimum price after they present you an offer that's underyour production costs. The only exception to this are for purchases of yourred & black capes, because they have a low to no production costs.The standard procedure to selling the capes are, show the buyer one of eachcolor of capes & ask them what color(s) they want. Remove the capes that thebuyer doesn't want & ask for their offer. If their offer is above 30 G percape, you can accept the deal OR ask for more. Please be aware that you onlymake money if you can close the deal with the user.Payout: 50 - 2000 G per cape (based on what the buyer's willing to pay)16.3) Smith for Hire~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Requirements: 60 minutes or moreOperating Overhead: VariesItems Required: * Ores (Iron or better) * Coal * A Pickaxe * A HammerThis trade is one that requires moderate to high levels of mining & smithingas you'll need to be able to work with steel or better to become profitable.This trade is pretty basic as all you do it mine the ore, smelt it & shapethe bars into usable equipment that others will want, including weapons &armor.Steel equipment is desirable for low level users (Lv 5 & up), but you'll beable to make big money once you get into Mithril & Adamant. Rune stuff isthe biggest money maker, but it carries the highest risks as you must ventureout into the high-level wilderness to mine it.Please note that a "Full Armor Set" is comprised of a Full Helm, Kite Shield,Leggings & Plate mail.Payout: 80 G to 220k G, based on item & metal. See Section 18 for a more detailed price guide for the items you've made to sell.16.4) Fisherman's Market~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Requirement: VariesOperating Overhead: VariesItems Required: (Varies with the type of fish) * Fishing nets * Fishing rods (normal / fly) * Lobster pot * Harpoon * Feathers / BaitTo make money this way, you'll need to get relatively high fishing & cookinglevels (Lv 20-50) to make any decent money here, but you'll want to fishTrout, Salmon, Tuna, Lobsters & Swordfish. After you catch the amount of fishthat you want, you'll have to cook the fish before selling them. People willonly take cooked fish because they want "Ready-to-Eat" items because theydon't want to waste 100g on a fish just to burn it (& render it useless).Please be aware that the higher level fish will get more money, except forlobsters... which will yield more since it's a high-demand item.Payout: Varies by fish, See Section 18.5 for more detailed information.16.5) Rune Crafters~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Requirements: 30-60 minutes (varies on rune)Operating Overhead: about 20 K - 50K GItems Required: * Rune Essence (1000 or more) * Pure Rune Essence (1000 or more -- Members) * Rune Tiaras OR Talisman (the type of runes you're crafting) * RuneCrafting Skill (varies on the rune you're crafting) * Knowledge of the Rune Alter LocationsNOTICE: This is moneymaking opportunity is more geared towards Members thanfree players as Members can get access to the higher-level Rune Alters.Members should be cautious of making Combo Runes due to the potential failurerate (50% failure) of combining. Due to the unknown hazards that are involvedwith the member alters, please take precautions before trekking out!This venture is geared towards the pocketbooks of the magicians of the gameas all you do is make the various types of runes for them. First thing thatyou'll have to do is obtain large amounts of Rune Essences (a minimum of1000 ), which can be easily obtained by purchasing them from other players atthe price of 20-30g a piece.Next, toss a rune tiara on your head (or grab a talisman), fill up yourinventory with rune essences & head to the Rune Alter. Return to the bankto dump your newly crafted runes & pick up another load of rune essences.Repeat this cycle as many times as you like or until your rune essence stockis exhausted.When you're filled up with runes to sell, hit the markets to sell your wares.Please be aware that unless you're a member & selling high-level runes orcombination runes to free players (or fellow members), you may be taking aLOSS ON THIS VENTURE unless you've mined your own rune essence.Payout: 2G - 1000 G / ea. -- See Section 18.4 for detailed prices.Note: Cosmic, Nature, Law, Chaos & Death runes can only be crafted by membersas those rune alters are beyond the boundaries of the free players & requirepure essense to make them. These specific runes, however, are desirable by freeplayers as they're used in high-level & teleportation spells. Please be awarethat the mid-level runes require Pure Rune Ess, therefore require more operatingoverhead & hence, higher costs.16.6) Coal Miner~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Requirement: 30-60 minutesOperating Overhead: 0 GItems Required: * Lv 30 Mining (or higher) * PickaxeThis business venture is similar to Rune Essence Miner, but instead of miningRune Essence, you're mining coal. Mid & High-Level Smithers require largeamounts of coal to smelt their ores. For those making Steel bars will onlyneed 2 pieces of coal per bar, but those making Rune bars will need 8 piecesof coal!Since the Mid & High-Level Smithers are driving the demand for coal & thatthere aren't a lot of good places to mine coal (only 3 safe spots on the freeservers out of like 6 spots, excluding the wilderness), it's hard for thesmithers to obtain large amounts of coal. Therefore, they're willing to payothers for large amounts of coal, usually in units of 100. All you have todo is find a good mining spot (usually an area that's not too crowded withpeople) & mine coal until your inventory is full, drop off your coal to thebank, then return to the mine area & repeat the process until you reach yourspecific target number.When selling coal, go to either Falador's OR Al Kharid's Bank & withdraw allthe coal you want to sell in NOTE FORM before you start advertising that youhave coal for sale.Payout: 100 - 200g / piece of coal16.A) FAQ's for the Broke & Brokers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Since there's a lot more marketable ideas than listed here, I've complied aspecial list of FAQ's specifically for the people who are trying to increasetheir pocketbooks.Q.1) What are Brokers?A.1) Brokers are people who buy & sell items. Pretty much, they buy items at a low price & then sell those items at a higher price. In Runescape, people who are selling items in the street market are, in the basic sense, brokers in a specific commodity.Q.2) What commodities do brokers usually deal in?A.2) Brokers will usually deal in a commodity that's usually in (high) demand. Stuff like Rune Essence, Lobster, Coal & even Iron Ore are the most commonly purchased commodities... but this isn't all of them.Q.3) Where should I buy stuff?A.3) Usually the best place to buy is where the commodity is obtained at. However, this is now always the case. Some banks near the commodity are used to sell that commodity. The reason why the place where the commodity is available to buy the commodity is that supply is high, while the demand is low... which makes the place ripe for decent deals! Those who'll need the money will usually take any offer you give & it makes it easy to blow off unfair deals. For example, you should be able to buy Cow Hides at a Cow Ranch for 3-5 G a piece. Your upper buying limit should be 10 G / ea before blowing deals off.Q.4) Where should I sell stuff?A.4) Usually the best place to sell your commodities are near banks or places where the commodity will be used. Banks are usually the best since people can quickly access their money & make purchases. The other reason is that the demand is relatively high & supply is limited... which allows you to increase the price to maximize your profits. For example, if you're selling Cow Hides at Al-Kharid Bank (near the Tanner), you can get between 10-20 G / ea before people refuse to buy from you.Q.5) People are demanding outrageous prices! What gives?A.5) In a word: Capitalism! Any place where players can freely trade between each other, players are allowed to set prices that they see is fair. While somebody who charges 100 G for 1 Cow Hide see it as fair deal, another player may believe it's a total rip off! Pretty much people who are greedy usually try to gouge you, while people with some decent business sense will give you a relatively fair deal. Good Merchants & Brokers will try to be competitive while keeping a decent (or small) profit margin. Please be aware that rarer commodities (like Trimmed Armor & colored gloves) will cost more because the supply is VERY LIMITED!Q.6) What price should I set for my commodity?A.6) Pretty much set your selling price slightly higher than your purchase price OR your production cost. You should limit your mark-up to no more than 25% of cost of your commodity; however, you may be able to get away with a higher mark-up for low-cost items. With Rune Essence, if you buy at 20 G / ea... you should sell your stock at 25 G / ea, giving you a 5 G (or 25%) profit. With Cow Hides, if you buy at 5G / ea... you should sell your stock at 10 G / ea, giving you 5 G (or 100%) profit. Again, it's totally up to you to set your own prices... However, you can look in section 18 or a Runescape website (in section B) to help you figure out a price that most people will accept.Q.7) How much do I need to become a broker?A.7) It depends on the commodity you're working with & how you want to start. * If you want buy your commodity first, start with 5,000 G to give you a fair start. * If you want to sell your commodity first, get about 100 units of that commodity & turn it into bank notes. * If you want to be a full broker, get 5,000 G & 100 units of the item your trading in. That way you can buy & sell at the same time. When playing a broker, space out your buying & selling phases based on your inventory. If you have a lot of money, start buying! If you have a lot of items, start selling. Just remember that your selling price MUST BE HIGHER than your buying price! This way you can let your money grow in the process. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING when playing a broker is to buy & sell your items in NOTE FORM! Bank Notes, regardless of quantity, only take up 1 slot in your inventory for each type of bank note.Q.8) What should I be aware of when buying / selling stuff?A.8) First of all, know how much an item cost by find the street value is. This can usually be found on a Runescape Website (listed in Section B) or a compiled item guide. Second, know how much POTENTIAL PROFIT a "refined" item can make. For example, a Hard Leather Body (made from Cow Hide) can be sold in a general store for at least 17 G / ea. (or more). HOWEVER, it costs 3 G to get the Cow Hide tanned & 0.2 G (1 G / 5) for thread. This gives a Hard Leather Body a potential profit of 14.8 G / ea. Since a person must make some profit off the selling of the Hard Leather Body, the maximum reasonable selling price would be 12 G / ea. (giving the buyer a profit potential of 2.8 G / ea.) Finally, take into account of the item's potential use. For example, Rune Essences have the potential of becoming Law Runes (worth around 500 G / ea.) while Cow Hides only have the potential be becoming Hard Leather Bodies or other lesser leather goods. The more potential an item has, the more people are willing to pay a higher price. People who set outrageous prices for some items usually forget the last two items. Somebody selling Cow Hides for 100 G / ea. is pretty much stealing 85 G from the buyer (which is the NET LOSS on the item after refining it). It's NOT THE JOB of a broker to make OTHERS broker (as in poorer) in the process. A Broker's Job is to help the economy WHILE raking in a small profit in the process. In short, take the Wall Street ideal: "Buy Low, Sell High; Take a PIECE of the pie!" (not 5 or more whole pies).17) Cloaks & Daggers -- A Street Market Guide------------------------------------------------OK! So you have some coins (like a couple hundred or so) that's burning ahole in your pocket? Here's a few things that you should be aware of so thatyou won't depart with too much of your money.17.1) Know What You Want to Buy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you don't know what you want, you'll probably do better going to a generalstore because Street Market vendors only have a few items for sale... Unlessthe person is having a "Bank Sale", where the person is selling various itemsjust to clean out their bank space.You can either advertise what you want to buy OR wait for somebody to announcethat they're selling the item(s) you want. Usually, if both the buyer & theseller announce that the same item, they'll eventually catch each other's eye& start dealing.17.2) Know Where to Buy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When buying on the Street Markets, knowing where to go can really increaseyour chances to finding what you want. Street Merchants usually hang outnear banks throughout the game as they can keep their on-hand inventory downto a minimum.You can also find street merchants in Varrock Square (the big fountain betweenthe two banks) & a few merchants in Falador Square (the area round the statuebetween the two Falador Banks). Unless you're in Varrock or Falador, you'llwant to stay near the bank to make your deals.17.3) Stick to Your "Home Worlds" Whenever Possible~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When buying on the Street Markets, it's best to stick to the Worlds that younormally play on to buy your items. It may take longer to find your item,but you'll have an easier time finding the item you want on your own worldsthan trying to make a deal on a "Trade World"."Trade Worlds" (like World 1 & 8, for example) are worlds in Runescape thatare around 1900 players where most players are trying to sell items. Whileit may easier to find the item you want, it may be hard to start the tradedue to the number of people advertising what they're buying or selling.If you think of each person advertising their wares as a pop-up ads & you cansee how badly it can be trying to start a trade.Trade Worlds may also have higher prices than your Home Worlds because of allthe money that's floating around.17.4) Have an Idea of the Price~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Street Merchants (or at least the good ones) know how much their itemsare worth or know much it costs to make/obtain the items they're selling.HOWEVER, merchants usually let their buyer name their price in hopes ofgetting more for the item than normal. However, since prices will vary frommerchant to merchant, you will usually want to consult a price guide for agood idea. You could also check the stores for a price check on an item youwant to buy, but it's not a great method as players RARELY sell any of thegood items to the stores & if somebody does so, the item is sold quickly.In short, street market prices will vary from 3x Shop prices to a price that'sin between the shop's buying & selling price. See Section 18 for a list ofprices for various items.17.5) Drive the Hard Bargain~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Once you haven an idea about the price, try to stay close to your target priceas others will try to rip you off by charging double, if not triple the pricethan what you'd expect. A key skill in the street market is haggling withthe merchant to get a price that both of you can agree. If somebody is askingfor double the item's value, you may be able to get the person to drop theirprices by 25% or so (which would be around 150% instead of the 200%). If youset a hard price (meaning that you won't increase your offer), you may losethe deal with some merchants, but you those who REALLY want to get rid oftheir merchandise, they may accept it.As a last resort, walking away from a deal may give you the upper hand onsome merchants as some may run after you just to seal the deal. This is arare occurrence however as I have only experienced getting the price I wantedfrom this & most merchants prefer to stay near their respective marketplaces.Sometimes, you may find a better deal with a different merchant.17.6) AVOID "QUID PRO QUO" DEALS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Quid Pro Quo" deals are usually complex & are very easy to get ripped off onwithout knowing it. You are essentially trading one item for another insteadof buying or selling an item. Since you're not dealing with any base unitsthat have been created in the bartering system (which are gold coins), it'seasy to wind up with an unfair deal.There are only two exceptions to this rule. 1) Dealing with Rune Essences instead of gold coins -- Rune Essences have a base value of 10g a piece (20g is the standard street value) & are generally safe to accept in lieu of gold as long as you establish a base value for them. Please be aware that Pure Essence is worth DOUBLE than regular Rune Essense. 2) Trading Raw materials for finished goods -- This type of trade is usually done with craftsmen who offer their services for free. If you can cut gems (like sapphires), you can trade a cut gem for an uncut gem of the same type (sapphires for sapphires, rubies for rubies, ect.) without much thought. The same can be done with ores/bars (2 iron ores for 1 iron bar) & bars/items (2 bars for 1 full helm).Unless the merchant is specializing in "Quid Pro Quo" deals at the moment,the merchant will usually kill the deal & state that they're a "Cash Only"merchant before starting up another trade. It's best to ask the merchant ifthey'll accept a trade of raw materials for their finished goods. If you givethe merchant the exact amount of raw materials needed to make the finishedgoods (usually in notes), they'll either give you the finished item for freeOR give you a reduced price (like 1-2K +5 Addy Bars for an Addy Plate) for theitem which is the cost of their time.When in doubt, keep things simple by sticking to pure, liquidable (as an asset)cash.17.7) Search for Bargains by Buying Indy Items~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As you may NOT KNOW with some items, namely full armor sets (Full Helm, KiteShield, Plate Body & Leg Plates / Skirt Plate) seem to have prices that areUP TO 65% HIGHER than their individual items! This premium is more of a"convenience fee" as the person who's selling the full armor set has done thelegwork earlier in obtaining (or crafting) the armor pieces for that type ofmetal.If you're willing to spend more time in the street market to buy each pieceindividually, you can save some of your hard-earned cash. You will not beable to save ALL the money due to market inflation, but you can get the armoryou want for less than what's stated in the market guide in the next section.18) The Little Black Book... of Street Market Prices-------------------------------------------------------Wondering if you're getting scammed by others on a deal? This section wasdesigned to help point out if you should be working harder on making a gooddeal.

Here's a small guideto make sure that you don't become a victim of a scam.You should be aware of the "Golden Rule" of RuneScape: "Only Risk what youcan afford to lose"... meaning that you not give anything to others that youcannot afford to replace.19.1) Free Armor Trimming~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are some people that will state that they'll trim your armor for free.THIS IS A SCAM!!! AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS! There's no way that anybody cantrim armor, regardless what their crafting & smelting levels are. There'snowhere inside the game that states you can do this! The only way to gettrimmed items is to actually buy them off another player because only memberscan obtain them through Treasure Trails.Please Report All occurrences of this to keep scammers like these down.19.2) Free Gem Cutting~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are some people that will state that they'll cut your uncut gems forfree.This is a QUESTIONABLE DEAL as some players may take your gems & split whileothers will cut your gems & return them. If you are planning to allow someoneto cut your gems for you, ALWAYS ASK FOR A SECURITY BOND of at least 50 G peruncut gem (the rarer the gem, the more you should ask for) OR ask them to giveyou a cut gem for your uncut gem. This way you don't have to wait for them tocut your gem. Bonded Craftsmen use their money OR the cut gems as form oftrust & should the bonded craftsman decides to split with your gems, you won'tbe left empty-handed.19.3) Free Ore Smelting / Item Smithing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are some people that will state that they'll either smelt your ores ormake an item for you if you given them the ores/bars required to make it.This is another QUESTIONABLE DEAL as some players may take your ores/bars &split while others will honor their word. Again, when in doubt... ASK FOR ASECURITY BOND to cover the cost of the materials. You may ask for the personto trade you the finished item for your raw materials. This way, you don'thave to wait for them to make the item they're willing to work on. Again, ifyou ask for a security bond BEFORE giving them the items, you won't leaveempty-handed if the deal goes sour (like them running off).This offer is nice if you would like better equipment, but you don't have thesmithing skills to do it yourself... but it's generally safer to do it thework yourself & you'll get some smithing experience out of it in the process.19.4) Free Jewelry Enchantments~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are some magicians that will offer to enchant your jewelry for free.This is a HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE DEAL for two reasons:* 1) The cost of the Runes for the spell can easily cost 500 G or more!* 2) Free users can only wear enchanted amuletsDue to this, you must request a SECURITY BOND of 2K to cover the costs of theamulet, should the magician runs. You should do it yourself to save yourselfthe trouble & you'll get some magic experience in the process... but expectto spend 500 G for the runes (mainly, the cosmic runes).The best route would be to give trade your unenchanted jewelry for it'senchanted counterpart, which is essentially what the magician is offering to do.19.5) "Account for Sale"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sometimes, a player will offer to sell his account for in-game cash.THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM & VIOLATES THE RULES OF RUNESCAPE! REPORT ALL INCIDENTSTO THE ADMINS!!!The player that is selling the account has most likely stripped the characterof all items (including the bank account) & usually has some way of recoveringthe account. The seller may use the password recovery system a week or twoafter selling the account to take everything that the buyer has done.The player may have established a Bank PIN for that account as well, whichmakes it nearly impossible (1 in 10,000 chance) of getting into the bankaccount for the character. Making the Bank useless for at least a week.AGAIN, REPORT ALL INCIDENTS OF ACCOUNT SELLING! IT'S AGAINST THE RULES!!!19.6) "Password Blurt-Out Protection"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are some players that state that Jagex (the company that created &maintains the operation of RuneScape) doesn't allow you to say your passwordinside the game.THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM & VIOLATES THE RULES OF RUNESCAPE! REPORT ALL INCIDENTSTO THE ADMINS!!!Since passwords can be anything (like "Goblin Mail" as an example), Jagexcannot keep a custom filter to prevent everybody from blurting out theirpasswords. Most of the players who try to do this try to make you believe bydoing a fake demonstration by posting "****************". If you do believethem, you will essentially give them your user name & password (or Bank PIN)though the game... which also gives them the ability to completely stealyour user account & use it for whatever they desire. This may include...* Loss of items & equipment -- on hand & in the bank* Abuse of your count by breaking the rules under your name* Attacking people on your friend's list* Other stuff not listed hereAgain, your password is the ONLY THING keeping others off your account! Youshould NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD OR YOUR BANK PIN TO ANYBODY, INCLUDEPEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE PART OF THE RUNESCAPE STAFF!!! The Staff of RuneScapewill NEVER ASK YOU FOR YOUR PASSWORD, INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE GAME as theyhave complete access to your account & therefore do not need your password atall! The staff of RuneScape have the power to actually change your password,if they really wanted to!IF ANYBODY ASKS YOU FOR YOUR PASSWORD OR YOUR BANK PIN OR CLAIMS THAT YOURUNESCAPE WILL BLOCK YOUR PASSWORD OR YOUR BANK PIN FROM ANYBODY'S VIEW,REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY! PASSWORD THIEVES ARE NEVER TOLERATED ON ANYRESPECTABLE WEBSITE!!!19.7) Taxi Service~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are a few people that will take you to the destination of your choice,by letting you follow them, either for free or for a price (up to 100 G).This service is questionable, but relatively safe as it's a low-risk deal.The two pitfalls with this service are "pay-n-dash" & Wilderness-baiting.Pay-n-Dashers are people who claim to take you to your destination, but willrun away (or change worlds) right after you pay them. To prevent this fromhappening, it's best to hold your money until services are rendered... (likenormal taxi services) OR only pay half of the required fare at the start &half at the destination.Wilderness-baiting are people who will take you into the Wilderness INSTEADof your destination & will try to kill you once you're in The Wilderness.Since The Wilderness is such a dangerous place, the makers of RuneScape willwarn you shortly BEFORE you enter The Wilderness & the "Skull & Crossbones"icon will appear in the lower-left corner of the game screen (warning youthat you're in the wilderness & vulnerable to PKers). To prevent this, havean idea on WHERE YOU'RE GOING FIRST! If your "driver" tries to take a turninto The Wilderness, break the deal & save yourself!19.8) Hired Workmen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There are a very few people what will offer to give you large sums of money(like 75K G) if you work on something for them (like mining Rune Essence) fora week. Please be aware that only the higher-level players will ever makethis offer.This is a questionable deal as there can be plenty of ways for both playersto break the deal & possibly scam a player out of either items or money. Youshould also be aware at how much work that may be involved as well! Usingthe example of 75K a week for mining Rune Essence, you'll be essentiallyagreeing to mine anywhere between 2,500 & 3,750 Rune Essence for that week(or roughly 358 - 535 Rune Ess per day). Considering it takes at least 2.5minutes per load of 27 Rune Ess with a Rune Pick or about 5 minutes with otherpicks (& a lower mining level), you'll have to mine between 4 & 11.5 hoursthat week (or 33 minutes - 99 minutes a day) to make your quota. Should youmiss your quota, you may not get the entire amount (IF ANY) promised by youremployer.PLEASE BE AWARE THAT VERBAL CONTRACTS CANNOT BE UPHELD NOR ENFORCED INRUNESCAPE! This means that either player may break the contract withoutnotice & without legal restitution, so it's possible that person you'veentered in a work contact with may cancel or forget about the deal before it'scomplete. In short, DO NOT GIVE ANY PLAYER ANY ITEM WITHOUT GETTING SOMETHINGIN RETURN! You may be able to report a player for scamming immediately afteryou lose your items (with 60 seconds of the act), but the admins will notgive you any restitutions for your lost items.If the player you have agreed to work for fails to present the proper payduring the trade, BREAK THE DEAL & HOLD ONTO THE ITEMS! Remember, VERBALCONTRACTS ARE NOT LEGALLY BINDING, so if they don't hold up their part of thedeal... you don't have to hold up your part of the deal. You can then sellyour items you've obtained to others who're willing to pay your price.Overall, if you're a casual player or have a low boredom threshold, you maywant to pass on these offers & stick to "Freelance workers" for greaterflexibility as you get to set your own work hours & prices.Recent rumors that I've heard by local Runescape players is that you're onlyallowed to perform certain actions continuously for 6 days without running therisk of getting banned. While this rumor was never confirmed, the use ofmacros & bots have been cracked down upon by the Runescape staff.19.8.1) Hired Workman Alternative************************************An alternative to a set contract (like 75K per week) is when a person givesyou a "Standing Offer", which is an open-ended work contract. This type ofwork contract guarantees you a specific price on an item on a "per item"basis.For example, a person who wants Rune Essence may give you a standing offerof 25 G per Rune Essence. So if you mine 200 Rune Essence under that workcontract, you'll make 5,000 G. Another example is that somebody wants goldore & gives you a standing offer of 200 G per gold ore. If you mine 500 goldore under that work contract, you'll make 100K.The upside with this work contract alternative is that it's open-ended, sothe more you work, you more you can earn. There's no hard quota to reach,although the buyer may ask you for a set amount. This contract also allowsyou a lot of flexibility as you can set your own hours. This type of contractdoesn't force you to sell the items you mine/make to one person. If somebodyelse makes the same or better offer (one time or standing offer), you cantake advantage of it without jeopardizing any other offers.The only downside with type of working contract is that the person who madethe offer may break it without warning. HOWEVER, since you still have theitems you've obtained for the contract, you can go to somebody else to sell.Just make sure you get the cash for the items your selling AT THE TIME OFTRADING (don't go for the "Buy Now, Pay Later" deals as they're usually scams).20) Randomcadabra! -- General Random Events----------------------------------------------One thing that makes the game interesting this that strange things CAN happenwhile you're playing the game. These are called random events as they willhappen at random intervals to every player. Some events can be beneficial toyou while others pop up to annoy (& possibly kill) you. While other randomevents are specific to certain skills (like mining), the events that arelisted here can happen anywhere at any time to anyone in the game.20.1) Shade / Zombies~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Shades (Vengeful Spirits, looks Death) & Zombies (the Undead) are pretty muchattracted by the same thing: graves. Any time you bury bones, there's achance that either a Shade or a Zombie will appear to attack you.Since their combat level is based on yours (& always higher than you), thebest advice I can give you is RUN!!! You can fight if you want, but it'syour funeral here... Shades & Zombies will eventually vanish after a youleave the area for a minute.20.2) Niles, Miles & Giles (The "Notaries")~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After retiring from the "certificate" (Notes) business, these three formerbusinessmen wander the world, giving items to the players they meet... grantedyou can help them out. If you're wrong, you're items will be noted.DO NOT IGNORE THEM! If you don't talk to them when they appear for you, theywill try to convert your inventory items into bank notes. This could be veryannoying if the item you need is a bank note, where you have to go to thebank to retrieve that item.20.3) The Drill Demon~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Demonic army is forming & you've been (forcefully) drafted! Prove yourworth by following the Drill Sergeant's order & you'll receive a part of theuniform...Ignore the Drill Sergeant's order & you'll be stuck there...20.4) The Drunken Dwarf~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Drunken Dwarf is a merry wander, who's willing to share a beer & a kebabwith the people he visits. However, the Drunken Dwarf is a little moody tothose who ignore him... Those who don't accept his goodwill will find himchucking rocks at you, or even teleport you to a different area!20.5) The Freaky Forester~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This strange man may teleport you a forest clearing in a distant area. Allhe wants from you is to help him kill the pheasant of his choice. Assist him& you may pick up some of his rustic clothes.20.6) The Frog Prince(ss)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Like so many fairy tales & legends, this fun random event is pretty simple.Just kissing the frog will transform back into their true form & will rewardyou with a frog token, which you can trade for froggy items at the Varrockclothing store (NOTE: 1 piece / set per token)Just don't ignore them or you may become them.20.7) The Genie~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This enjoyable random event has a genie giving you a magic lamp. This lampwill grant you a wish to improve one of your skills. HOWEVER, if you ignoreMr. Genie, he may teleport your items (or yourself) away from where you were.The magic lamp will give you 10 exp per level in the skill you select. Forexample, if your Cooking Skill is at Lv 10, you'll get 100 exp for cooking.Magic Lamps are rumored to have a short lifespan (only a few minutes untilthey disappear) & they're untradable... so use it on a skill you're workingon.20.8) Rick Turpentine (the Reformed Thief)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rick Turpentine has finally seen the errors of his ways & willing to settleup his debts on society by give you back by coins & possible a few gems.HOWEVER, Rick seems to have a short temper & will fall back into old habits(attacking you WHILE stealing) if you ignore him.20.9) Cap'n Hand (the Lost Pirate)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Cap'n Hand has appeared to a little lost, but he's willing to give you someof his booty (coins & possibly gems) to those who are willing to talk to him.However, Cap'n Hand is an impatient fellow & usually armed. Those who ignorehim will face his rage!20.10) The Mysterious Old Man~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Mysterious Old Man is a true mystery as there's FOUR possible events thatcan occur with him & ignoring him can be hazardous to your health. The eventsthat may occur are...1) He just gives you free stuff (like a gem)2) He gives you a Strange Box, which you must solve the riddle to receive your reward. If you ignore the box or answer incorrectly & the box will multiply & fill up your empty slots of your inventory.3) He teleports you to a Maze -- Just find the center of the maze as fast as you can to return where you were & receive a reward. The longer you take in the maze, the smaller your reward will be.4) He teleports you to Mime School -- Just follow the Mime's lead & you'll graduate with the Mime emotes & possibly a part (if not all) of the mime costume.20.11) The Quiz Master~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You've been invited to participate in Runescape's hottest quiz show, Odd OneOut! All you need to do select the one item from the group that doesn'tbelong there. Get enough questions right & you'll leave with a reward!However, what do you take: the cash prize (1000 G) OR the mystery box?20.12) THE EVIL CHICKEN!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The EVIL CHICKEN usually appears to attack people who've been hanging aroundan area a little too long. Since their combat level is based on yours, thebest thing you can do is RUN!!!20.13) The Swarm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The swarm of insects seem to group around people who stick around an area alittle too long & can be pretty annoying as they nickel & dime you to deathwith 1-2 pts of damage.Since you can't defeat the swarm, just leave the area until they disperse.20.14) EVIL BOB!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It seems that Runescape's favorite character (Bob the Cat) has an evil twinin an alternate (bizarro) universe & it seems that he wants YOU to be hisslave. The only way to escape from Evil Bob's Island is to serve him.Once you talk to Evil Bob, he'll tell you to catch some fish for him. Grabthe fishing net nearby & talk to the female servant to point you to the area(with a statue) of where you need to fish... SO PAY ATTENTION!!!Once you've caught a fish, you'll find out that it's already cooked (what doyou expect in an alternate universe?). Just use the "Uncooking Pot" nearEvil Bob to uncook it before you give it to him. If you give him the rightfish, he'll find it delicious & will start to get drowsy. After Evil Bobeats several of the correct fish, he'll eventually fall asleep & give you anopportunity exact by using the portal.For your troubles, you'll receive either 650 fishing or magic experience,depending on what you were working on at the time.20.15) Leo the Gravedigger~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Leo the Gravedigger is awfully near-sighted & happened to misplace 5 coffinsin his graveyard. He needs your help to place those coffins into their propergraves. You'll need inventory space to work this random event. If you don'thave the room, you can temporarily drop off some of your items in the nearbymausoleum.You pretty much have to open up the coffins to find clues to where that coffinshould go. For example, if the coffin contains a pickaxe, you should placethat coffin in the grave that the headstone matches.Once you thing you have everything completed, check with Leo for positions &will let you go with your reward. You'll receive a piece of Zombie Clothingor even unlock the Zombie emotes!20.16) Pious Pete (the Acolyte)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pious Pete has been trying to keep his candles lit, but he keeps gettingdazzled by the light every time he tries. So he needs your help for his &he has access to the monastery's treasury to reward those willing to help him.Pretty much all you have to do is move the taper to light the candles. Youdon't need to worry about the burnt out candles, as Pete will sort them outlater.20.17) Prison Pete~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Another problem from the another alternate universe of Runescape (calledScaperune). A sinister cat (Evil Bob, perhaps?) drags you off to Scaperune &locks you in a very strange jail with Prison Pete.The keys of the prison portals are hidden inside the little ballon animalsthat are wandering around the prison floor. Just talk to Pete & then pullthe big lever to see what animal you need to pop. Just pop the right balloonanimal to get the a key, which Pete will try on all the doors. Just keeprepeating this process until you find the key to the exit.20.18) The Sandwich Lady~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Need a snack? The Sandwich Lady will visit to give you a tasty treat! Justtake the snack from the tray that she tells you (like an apple pie) or she'llget very angry with you for being greedy (by taking something she didn't tellyou could have).20.19) The Abyss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~While Teleporting is the fastest way to travel, it's not perfect & there's anoccasional glitch in the Runescape Teleportation Matrix (which is the magicalsuper-highway). This glitch cause you to wind up in The Abyss, which is asmall pit where errant magical travelers are dropped into. All you need todo is find the one odd level (the one that's not like the others) to proceedon your way. If you pull the wrong level, you'll take 1 HP of damage & you'llhave to try again.When you do wind up in The Abyss, you lose access to all the upper tabs inthe user system. This means that you will not be able to use any magic orany teleportation items while you're in The Abyss... as you're not supposeto be IN The Abyss under normal circumstances. You can, however, still talkto people on your buddy list.The Magical Transportation system (or the "Abyssal Services") will apologizefor any inconvenience the glitch may have caused. They will send you to youroriginal destination (before the glitch occurred) & they will refund the runesyou previous used or give you some rune essence for your troubles.Please be aware that teleportation to & from the Rune Ess Mine are subjectedto this glitch, even though you didn't cast the spell yourself (including theportal back). Since you didn't cast the teleportation spell, you won't getany free law runes, but you will get some NOTED Rune Essence instead. Thisrandom event will most likely happen to you when making Rune Ess Mining runs(as the teleporation usage is a lot more frequent) than using the occasionalteleportation spell as Law Runes are expensive on free servers.20.20) The EVIL TWIN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In this Random Event, you're teleported to a guilding with a girl that'shaving a crisis thanks to her evil twin. Your job is to catch the evil twin& put them behind bars.However, before you start on this task, you must take a good look at the"good twin" because you won't be able to see her once you start. Once youstart, you have to go to the "Magic Claw" control panel... which is prettymuch those "crane games" that you've seen so many people waste their money on.You have TWO CHANCES on catching the evil twin.Once you've succeeded or fail to catch the evil twin, you talk to the goodtwin to get your reward (or not) & returned back from where you came.20.21) The Security Guard~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTE: THIS ONLY OCCURS IN THE STRONGHOLD OF SECURITY!This Random Event happens when you DO NOT HAVE YOUR PASSWORD RECOVERYQUESTIONS SET! The Security Guard will not leave you alone until you actuallydo this or you leave the Stronghold of Security as it's a critical part ofaccount security.20.A) Random Member Events~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Runescape Members have a couple of events that are unique to them, here's ashort list of events that can occur with Members.* Watchmen -- The policemen who are after thieves...* Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde -- Pretty Obvious event, even when you ignore him!* Pirate's Combo Lock -- A pirate discovers treasure in your field!* Strange Plants -- Free restorative fruit, if you act quickly...* Poisonous Gas -- Anti-theft measure...* Pillory -- Escape from Jail!Check the Runescape's Knowledge Base for more information...20.B) Tangle Vines (DISCONTINUED)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTICE: This random event has been REMOVED from the game before this guidewas written due to the complaints from players about this event. It is onlyincluded in this guide as a historical reference... which may still exist inRuneScape Classic (the original version of the game), which this guide maynot properly cover.Tangle Vines are vines that randomly pops up on the ground & can seriouslycripple your travels AS WELL AS A POTENTIAL KILLER! When Tangle Vines appeararound you, STOP MOVING ALTOGETHER!!! Any movement within the vicinity ofthe Tangle Vines WILL INFLICT DAMAGE to anybody that moves. The Tangle Vineswill vanish after 30-60 seconds, which you can then resume your travels.21) Clan Search -- Finding a Clan that's Right for you---------------------------------------------------------While playing the game & earning experience in the various skills, you maystart thinking of playing RuneScape with others. Clans are one option thatyou may want to explore. Clans are a group of people that come together inthe game under a common ideal, belief, or an interest. You may try to findclans from by asking around OR you may get invited to one. Before youactually get committed to a clan, you should really check into the specificsabout the clan. Here's a few things you should find out.NOTE: CLANS ARE NOT OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED BY THE STAFF OF RUNESCAPE!21.1) What is the Clan About?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Every clan is tied to something. You should try to find out what ideal theclan has or exactly how the clan formed. Knowing how the clan is formed willgive you some idea on what they'll do in the game & what you may be requiredto do.21.2) What are the Clan Requirements?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Since each clan is bound to different ideals, how to actually get into theseclans will greatly vary as well. Some clans may have an open-door policy(meaning anybody can join) while others have a little more restricted policyor is a clan that you can only join "by invite only".Open-door clans may be preferable to most players as their clan's ideals maybe pretty broad & may serve a "social purpose". They may be good for meetingother people who play the game, but that's about it.Restrictive Clans may be more focused around an ideal & may have a requirementthat may be outside the game. Some restrictive clans can be formed around aspecific website & all that's required is to become a productive member ofthat site. This type of restriction is minor & may serve a more focused"social function", but the restriction that's placed usually creates a bond.Other restrictive clans may require that you have a certain proficiency in askill or that you have a certain item. Clans that have this restriction willusually have them listed on their website, if they choose to be public.These clans can develop strong bonds with their members, but may have a higherdemand on their members. Just be aware that you know what you're gettingyourself into before trying to get in."Invite Only" clans are pretty exclusive clans as they only allow those whoare "worthy" in their member's eyes. Please be VERY CAUTIOUS about theseclans as they may have a dark purpose that you may not to support! You willusually want to get some outside views about these types of clans to see ifthey're reputable.21.3) What is the Clan's Reputation?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The best way to learn about a clan's reputation is to check with other playersabout the clan you're planning to join. Please be aware that small clans maynot be on the radar with other players, but the large clans may have beenheard of by the mid & high-level players. If the clan has a fairly good rep,it should put your mind at ease as there's no reservations against them.If the clan has a neutral or no rep, proceed with caution as they might beperforming a few shady things. Needless to say, a clan with a bad rep shouldbe avoided like the plague as they're most likely doing stuff that seems tobe objectionable with others OR that some of their members are on the Game's"Banned List".21.4) What do I need to get into the Clan?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Again, since each clan has different requirements, you may have to do certainthings to get in. Usually with Open-Door Clans, just getting the clearancefrom the Clan master is all that may be needed. The restrictive and "InviteOnly" clans may require you to perform a task or two.The least restrictive clans may only require you to join their clan's website(which may be open-door as it is) & keep up-to-date with things that are goingon their website. The "Invite Only" clans may require a test of skillproficiency OR a test of trust.PLEASE BE AWARE THAT "TESTS OF TRUST" MAY ACTUALLY BE A SCAM! DO NOT HANDANYTHING OVER TO ANY OTHER PLAYERS THAT YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO LOSE!!! YOUMAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER THE ITEM OR EVEN BE ABLE TO PROPERLY REDRESS THEPROBLEM TO THE ADMINS WHILE DOING THIS!!!21.5) OK, I'm in... Now What?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Once you get into a clan, you may be required to participate in clan events.These may be something as simple as posting on the clan's boards (if theyhave a website) or as demanding as performing a group event in the game ona weekly, bi-weekly or a near-daily basis.The worst (& darkest) event that your clan may require you to do is to lurepeople to the Wilderness, kill them & loot their bodies. Even though PKingis allowed in the Wilderness, it's "bad form" to lure others (includingnewbies) to the Wilderness just to loot their dead bodies. This is usuallysomething that some people just refuse to do because it's practicallylegalized theft by murder.21.6) Stop the Clan! I want out!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As you find out the true nature of the Clan, you may find yourself with theurge to get out the clan. Getting out of the clan can be as difficult asgetting into them. It's for this reason why finding the right clan for youis important! Unless the clan has "exit policy" in place, you can generallyconsider yourself enrolled with the clan FOR LIFE. Most of the "social clans"will allow you to leave the clan easily with little in-game repercussions.However, the more restrictive the clan, the harder it is to get out withoutany serious repercussions... like having your former clan members purposelyattacking you.Please be aware that other players / clans will consider you as a sympathizerfor your former clan. This does mean that it'll be harder to join anotherclan, especially a rival clan because of your previous connections.If you really want out of the clan, here's a few things you should do.1) Contact the Clan master that you want to leave.2) Contact the Clan members you normally fraternize with that you're leaving the clan (you may need to explain why).3) Remove all Clan members from your friends list (excluding actual friends).If problems occur with your former clan members...4) Add the clan members (that are bugging you) to your ignore list.5) Report the clan members that are harassing you (as it is against the rules to harass other players).If that doesn't work, consider starting a new character... liquidate thebank inventory of your old character & give it to your new character. Youmay be breaking the rules momentarily, but it'll give you a head-start on yournew character since you'll have a decent bankroll.22) Final Beginner's Tips & Advice-------------------------------------OK! You're pretty much done with this guide, except for a few questions & astupid glossary of terms that you probably should know already, here's a fewfinal tips & some advice to help make your time in RuneScape more enjoyable.22.1) Carry ONLY what you need~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You can only carry 28 items in your inventory, excluding the stuff that you'rewearing. Therefore, you'll want to keep only the items you need to completewhatever task you're doing. There's three reasons behind this:1) You keep your weight down, which allows you to run further.2) It allows you to pick up items that you really want or need.3) You have a lower risk of losing most of the stuff you have if you die.You should also make it a habit of visiting the Banks often to drop off itemsthat you don't need, but want to keep OR pawn off the unwanted items at ageneral store for some coins.22.2) Keep your money in the Bank until you're ready to buy stuff~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Money, no matter how much you carry, takes up space in your inventory & themore you have... the more likely you'll become a target against others. Ifyou die in the game, you lose practically EVERYTHING in your inventory & youprobably won't be able to return to your grave & recover everything you had.If you must keep some cash on you, try to limit it to about 10% of your bankaccount or less. This way you can buy some smaller items on the fly, but youwon't be able make any large purchases (like weapons / armor).Pretty much the reason for this is so that you can finance your own "Lifeinsurance policy"... just in case the unfortunate event happens.22.3) Work hard for your money & Buy hard with your money~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It hard to make money in RuneScape, especially for beginners & you shouldwork hard to make sure that you're getting your money's worth when buyingitems. You have probably heard of the old cliche‚ proverb "A fool & his moneyare soon parted" & in RuneScape, there's no exception. People will rip youoff, either by gouging you with their prices or ripping you off with theiroffers.Again, get an idea on the price tag on items (either using a price guide orby asking friends or peers on a board) before buy or sell items to get a goodidea on what the market demands are. If the offer for the items you'reselling are too low, ask for more or state your minimal price. If the askingprice of the item you want is too high, try to haggle the price down. Onething that merchants REALLY HATE is trading items & it's the fastest way tokill a deal if you offer other items in lieu of gold coins. Usually the itemsthat the player is trying to push on you is probably worthless garbage thatyou'll get like 10 coins or less OR it's an item that you cannot use.Finally, if you can't get the price you want for the item. There's no shamein killing the deal & trying another player. You may find better luck withanother player who's willing to sell you the item at a price that's more toyour liking.22.4) Keep a large amount of "Emergency Cash" in the bank~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As I've said before, it's hard to make money in RuneScape if you're new tothe game. It can be even harder for somebody that recently died & unprepared.You may consider it "hoarding", but in the unlikely event that you do happento die in the game, you should store enough cash (if not more) to cover thecost of all the items that you've lost due to your death.You should keep track of price for all the equipment that you buy & then addhalf to that total (so it's 1.5 times your purchase prices), this is to allowfor possible in-game inflation for items as well as to cover the greed of theselling merchants. If you haven't done this, here's a list of estimates forgeneral combat equipment (see section 18 for more detailed prices on separateitems).Bronze Melee -- 300 - 500 GIron Melee -- 600 - 1,200 GSteel Melee -- 3,000 - 6,000 GBlack Melee -- 15,000 - 30,000 GBlack (t) Melee -- 150,000 - 300,000 GBlack (g) Melee -- 350,000 - 700,000 GMithril Melee -- 20,000 - 40,000 GAdamant Melee -- 40,000 - 80,000 GAdamant (t) Melee -- 300,000 - 800,000 GAdamant (g) Melee -- 400,000 - 900,000 GRune Melee -- 250,000 - 500,000 GRune (t) Melee -- 500,000 - 1,000,000 GRune (g) Melee -- 600,000 - 1,200,000 G"God" Melee -- 3,000,000 - 5,000,000 GGeneric Mage -- 10,000 - 500,000 GGeneric Archer -- 10,000 - 250,000 GAgain, these are only rough estimates on what you should have saved in your bankaccount & doesn't include high-value items (like Pickaxes & Woodcutting axes),so you may want to add an extra 40,000-100,000 G on top of this.22.5) Don't Drink & Fight~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Even though there's plenty of alcoholic drinks available in the game, withsome of drinks temporarily boosting a skill (like strength, magic or mining &smithing skills), all alcoholic drinks do come with a price beyond gold.With every drink to down, your attack skill will temporarily drop as well.Since your attack skill is needed for melee attacks, you'll inflict lessdamage with each drink you down.IT'S EXTREMELY BAD TO HAVE 0 ATTACK! 0 Attack means that you will not be ableto inflict any melee damage against anybody. This also means that if have tofight, even if it's against a low-level enemy, you won't be able to properlyswing your weapon in your drunken stupor to scratch them. All you can do iswait for your attack skill to slowly return (while your boosted stat willreturn to normal) before you can actually return to battle.The key is moderation & knowing your limits. A good rule of thumb is thatyou can one drink for every 5 levels of attack you normally have. Usingthis rule will allow you to keep some of your attack skill should you beforced to fight. If you're a Mage or an Archer, this may not totally applyto you unless you run of out runes/arrows, but you should still practice inmoderation.22.6) Magical Training can be Useful~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Even if you prefer to be a Knight or an Archer, working on your magic skillsdoes have it's advantages. Even if you stop training once you get to Lv 25,being able to teleport can save your life when you're getting ambushed byPKers in the Wilderness or about to be killed by high-level monster.You can also use magic to save some time or money by doing the work yourselfas others may charge you a lot more for the same services.October, 2006 Update: The makers of RuneScape have added a special "No Runes"teleportation spell to your "home area" (which is Lumbridge for free players)which is available for everybody. Please be aware that the spell is slow tocast, so any combat will interupt & cancel the spell. It also takes 30minutes to recharge, so you cannot abuse the spell easily.For those who need a quick exit out of an area, using a regular teleportationspell is still preferred.22.7) Don't Annoy Other Players When Possible~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What people hate most are players that are total jerks & those who use theirskill levels to muscle other players out of stuff. I know that some ores arerelatively hard to come by (due to low quantities), but if there's plenty ofthe ore around & more than one player who wants them... try to pound out anagreement with them. Pretty much work out an agreement that everybody can getsome of the ore without people fighting over it.One unspoken agreement that most players take is the "Open Ore" policy, where anopen player take the next available ore & leave the players that are busy miningan ore alone. When the a player that finished mining an ore will take the nextopen ore that's available... This policy also allow players to "park" at an ore& wait for it to become avaiable.Next, respect other people's property. People usually work hard to obtain theitems they have. It's very disrespectful to ask (or demand) to give you an itemof value (like an Addy Kite Shield) without fair compensation. On the flipside,it's also disrespectful for a player to show another player items they want &not pound out an acceptable deal at all. I'm not saying that those who areselling items disrespecting you for declining your offer, it's just those whoshow & don't accept ANY OFFER are the annoying ones.Third, don't rely on a stranger to answer "calls of help" in the game. You haveno idea of that person's life other than they're online at the same time as you.You don't know what they're doing or how long they're planning on being online.Unless you're both doing the same thing at the same time, your call with eithernot be answered, seriously delayed (like minutes before they reach you) or theysudden drop out for some reason before you no longer require their assistance.If you're going into an unknown area, either get really prepared OR get a friendto assist you.Finally, avoid using the word "Noob" to everybody under your skill / combatlevel! It's EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL to anybody over Combat Lv 10 (although notas disrespectful for those under Combat Lv 5) to call them this! Only Elitists(people who think they're better than everybody else) call others noobs & areon the road to getting ignored. A good measure of a person's character is nothow they treat their equals or superiors, but how they treat their inferiors(others that aren't up to their level). 23) The Wilderness -- Going Where Few People Dare to Go----------------------------------------------------------The Wilderness a vast area where only those who are strong enough venture.The Wilderness is a dangerous place as there's not only strong, high-levelmonsters there, but there's other players that would love to meet you with ablade through your chest (or your back, depending on their style). In orderto help prevent low level players from accidentally wandering into theWilderness, the makers of RuneScape have included a warning prompt that willappear once per session when you're reaching the border of the Wilderness.Once you're in the Wilderness, a Skull & Crossbones icon will appear in thelower-left corner with a level counter underneath it. The level counter tellsyou how far you're in the Wilderness & the gives you the combat level rangethat can attack you. If your combat level is 20 & you're in Lv 5 Wilderness,you can get attack by anybody with a combat level between 15 & 25. If youhaven't figured it out, the further you go in... the more people that canattack you.The Wilderness is the only place where PKing is legal. However, the firstperson that attacks another player will receive the "PK icon" (which is theSkull & Crossbones) over their head for 20 minutes. During that time, theywill lose EVERYTHING THEY HAVE if they're killed... which includes allarmor & weapons they have on hand. Some PKers will, however, place everythingin the bank & commit suicide in order to remove their PK icon. Others willleave the Wilderness & do something peaceful (like mining Rune Essence).If you're wondering why anybody in their right mind would actually go intothe Wilderness, there are a few things like Runite Ore that's available onlyin the Wilderness for free players. As another old saying goes, "NothingVentured, Nothing Gained." The same goes for the Wilderness, however, youwill really want to prepare yourself (with high HP-recovering food, runes tocast a teleport spell, ect.) before you go out... or you'll return to town6-feet under.24) Beyond the Mist -- Member's Benefits-------------------------------------------OK! So you've had your fill of the free stuff... and you're not too sure onwhat stuff you'll be able to do once you've become a member? Here's what themember's version of RuneScape has to offer once you start paying the memberfees ($5/mo. using a credit card or $7/mo. w/o a credit card, in US funds).* Access to the Member's Servers -- meaning less traffic, less lag & better connections to the servers... as well as no ads!* Expanded Bank Space -- meaning you can store a lot more than 7-8 lines of items in the bank.* Access to the ENTIRE WORLD -- You'll be able to explore areas you haven't been to before, including new towns, shops & guilds!* MORE QUESTS -- Giving you a lot more stuff to do in the game besides working on your skill levels... There's like 80 extra quests here!* Expanded equipment -- Giving you more & better items to help improve your offense & defense with specialized items* Expanded character customization -- Allowing you to personalize yourself with different & colored items not available for free players.* Expanded skills -- Giving you more skills to work on & use, some that can be very beneficial!* The ability to have your own house & farm -- A member's exclusive part of the game is farming. The ability to grow your own food for cooking ingredients or even herbology for less. Members can now build their own house & use it however they like... within legal reasons...* Treasure Trails -- You'll be able to go on a treasure hunt for valuable goods that you can sell to other players (sometimes at high prices)!* Full access to the RuneScape Forums -- You'll be able to make posts AND participate in polls on the forums instead of just reading them!All this can be yours for the low monthly cost of $5/mo. with a valid creditcard or about $8/mo. with alternative payment methods. Please be aware thatyou can get access to the member servers within an hour with a credit card,but it can take 2 weeks to get access with alternative methods. Please beaware that $5/mo. rate is a reoccurring charge (meaning that RuneScape willrepeat) on your credit card until you cancel it. Alternate payment methodsallow players to buy blocks of 1 months or longer ($20/3 months, $80/yr).All prices listed here are in US funds & will vary per country (either in USDollars or Euros, as RuneScape was created in England). Please check theRuneScape website for the exact prices for you.NOTICE!: All membership subscriptions are non-refundable once payment hasbeen received! If you're paying with a credit card, you can cancel themonthly membership renewals, but you cannot cancel your membership for thecurrent month. If you're paying through alternate methods (which may includemultiple months), you cannot get a partial refund. Unless you can commit tobeing a member for a month or longer, don't subscribe!Please be aware that if you're banned from the game for ANY REASON, all yourmember benefits will be terminated immediately & no refunds will be given...unless you can successfully appeal your ban... & you may still recover yourmember benefits.RuneScape regulations state that ONLY FAMILY MEMBERS can pay for yourmembership subscription if you can't pay for it directly. It's easier topound out payment agreements with your family than friends or strangers, asyou'd be frustrated if you were suddenly cut off when that friend/strangerstops paying the reoccurring charge.25) Potentially Stupid (& Not-So-Stupid) Q & A-------------------------------------------------You're probably asking yourself "Who would be stupid enough to ask some of thesequestions?" Believe it or not, there's always some idiot that seems to ask atleast one of these sooner of later. Since I'm not online all the time to answerthese questions when they come up, I've decided to post some of the more commonquestions that are most like would come up.These questions are not in any particular order, I just add them as they comeup in my life as a guide writer for this game.Q.1) Can I change my [Gender/Skin/Hairstyle/Beard/Clothes] after starting?A.1) YES, you CAN change the "base look" of your character (as in no armor) after you start playing... HOWEVER, it's going to cost you! Here's the quick information on where you make the changes. Gender / Skin -- The Makeover Mage (WSW of Falador) -- 3000 G Total Hairstyle / Beard -- Barbers (Western Falador) -- 1000 G/ea. Color changes are included in the cost. Clothes (Tops / Bottoms) -- Clothing Shop (Varrock Square) -- 500 G/ea. Color changes are included in the cost. Unless you hate wearing armor all the time or you made a serious mistakes when making your character, most people will not notice the differences you make here.Q.2) Can I have more than one account?Q.2) You ARE allowed to have more than one account, but there are some rules that you must acknowledge here. 1) Member Benefits only apply to ONE ACCOUNT -- This is to prevent players from sharing benefits with others. 2) Your accounts cannot be on the same world at the same time -- The makers of RuneScape hate "item mules" (accounts created for the sole purpose of holding items) & they not want you to be trading items inbetween them. Doing so violates the Laws of Runescape & BOTH of your accounts can be banned. 3) NO SHARING of accounts with others -- This is more of a personal safeguard as you cannot be sure if the other player you're sharing with is trustworthy. This can also fall under the rule stated above & it's expressly forbidden by the Laws of RuneScape. When in doubt... don't do it with your accounts... See Laws 1-3 in Section 2 for more information.Q.3) Is there a benefit of having multiple player accounts?A.3) There's no direct benefit of having multiple accounts as there's more for you to keep track of, but some do this as an organizational deal so they can focus on one individual attack type. This is also a way to keep your bank accounts relatively open as you're not storing stuff for every attack type. It's hard to keep stuff for two attack types on a free account without running short on space. Unlike other MMORPG's (like Diablo & Diablo II), your account isn't necessarily dedicated to one attack style.Q.4) Can I delete an account that I will no longer use?A.4) I'm sorry to state that once you create an account, you cannot delete it. The main reason for this is to protect the reputation of the former user from hackers & other "less reputable" users. If you leave an account inactive for 6 months, the staff of RuneScape may reset your account (as in delete everything you have, set your skills back to Lv 1 & 10 HP AND send you back to Tutorial Island). This is about as close as you'll get. It's unknown exactly when an inactive account is actually deleted, but I know it's longer than 15 months. For Runescape Classic players (now restricted to Member's only), any free player that doesn't play for 6 months will lose their Runescape Classic account PERMANENTLY!Q.5) Can I beg others to give me free stuff?A.5) It would be in your best interest NOT to beg other players for free stuff. Begging for items totally undermines the game's "Captialism" ideal as most people are usually wanting something for nothing... Most of them usually have marketable skills, but are too lazy to use them. In short, most beggars are taking advantage of the goodwill of others that have spend their time (& possibly some money) to produce the items would help real beginners in order to line their already gold-lined pockets. In the HIGHLY UNLIKELY EVENT that you've died & you're stupid enough NOT to have a "Life Insurance" plan (keeping enough gold to cover the costs of the items you've lost), grab a bronze pickaxe or some fishing gear & work your way back to your former lifestyle. See Section 13 for moneymaking ideas. It will be time consuming, but at least you're not begging for items. If you're feeling REALLY GENEROUS & you want to really help out some real beginners in the game, take the items you want to give (like bronze & iron stuff) to Lumbridge Castle. Give them to players that are at Combat Level 5 or lower (actually Combat Level 3 is best). PLEASE BE AWARE that begging under false pretenses can be classified as item scamming & is a reportable offense!Q.6) Why can't I say certain words in the game?A.6) The makers of RuneScape are EXTREMELY STRICT on what is said in the game & they've created an EXTREMELY STRICT language censor to block any word that might be remotely offensive, including "workarounds" so you can't add spaces or punctuation to bypass it. The language censor also blocks you from giving out web addresses as well to prevent some "questionable" sites from infecting your computer with spyware or a keylogger. RuneScape is an international game with origins in England. There are some words or letter combos that may seem innocent for use (in the US or Canada), but it may be offensive in other countries & the makers decided to censor it. Please be aware that your 1st Ammendment rights (in the US) DO NOT EXTEND TO RUNESCAPE! The makers of the game have the rights to censor anything that goes through their site. I should note that two unrelated words may get partically censored. Like the words "Give me that for a bit, Chuck." would come out "Give me that for a *******uck." Finally, USE YOUR HEAD!!! Even though this is a game, it is not a consequence-free environment! You can offend & hurt people within the game & they could make your life miserable in the game... I have no idea on what they could do, but it could really bad.Q.7) How do I report somebody who's breaking the rules?A.7) The makers of RuneScape have a "Report Abuse" button at the bottom-right corner of the chat window. If you see anybody breaking the rules, jot down the offender's name & click on the "Report Abuse" button. Then type in the offender's name & click on the appropriate violation to report them. When you send in a abuse report, you're sending the administrators a snapshot of the last 60 seconds from your perspective (so they can see the violation). Once they get enough evidence against a person, they will ban the person. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ABUSING THE SYSTEM (by sending fraudulent abuse reports) can come back & ban you instead. Finally, don't tell the player you're reported on of your actions. It just enrages the player & could make things a lot worse. Also, DO NOT SEND "PROXY REPORTS" (reports done at the request of others) as you MUST catch the violation yourself to properly report it.Q.8) I think somebody's been hacking into my account... What can I do?A.8) First of all, contact the admins IMMEDIATELY through their support system! This will make them aware that somebody other than you may be accessing your account & they'll keep a closer eye on the details (like the IP addresses of the users logging in). Second, change your Password, Bank PIN & recovery questions on your account. This will help deter the unwanted users from attempting to get on your account. Third, SECURE YOUR COMPUTER! Use an anti-virus program, anti-spyware program & even a firewall will help prevent hackers from stealing your account information. Sometimes, outside programs could be leaking the information you're trying to protect. Actually, to re-secure your account, here's what you should do: 1) Scan your computer for viruses & spyware 2) Contact the admins 3) Chance your password, PIN & recovery questions.Q.9) What is a Macro & how can I tell if a player is using one?A.9) Macros are program scripts that automate repetitive or undesired tasks. Most Macros are used with Office applications (like MS Office or Open Office), but they can be made & used with other apps. For Runescape, they're forbidden as you're giving a computer access to your account. Here are some signs that a player may be using a macro: 1) The player has a Combat Level of 3 2) The player's "base look" is a bald man with plain clothes 3) The player isn't wearing any armor at all (or "default stuff") 4) The player is doing high-level tasks that is way outside their other relative skill levels. 5) The player is ignoring everybody & avoiding random events 6) The player is highly repetitive in their actions The more of these signs you see, the more likely the player is using a macro... but it isn't totally foolproof. However, it's best to test a player out before you submit a report. Most players usually don't talk when they're working as it may give others a chance to take whatever they're trying to obtain. Some players usually don't wear any armor in order to keep their weight down (& allow them to run longer), but these are usually higher level players.Q.10) Why won't RuneScape load up for me?A.10) There's 3 possible reasons behind this: 1) You don't have Java installed on the computer. Go to www.java.com to download it. This is most likely the case for players that are Firefox, Netscape, Opera or Mozilla as well as portable apps users. 2) The computer (or network) Firewall or security system is prevent the java applet from loading. If any prompts show up on your computer when loading up the game, you'll need to hit YES for it to load. If you are using the "NoScript" extention with Firefox under maximum settings, you'll have to allow Runescape.com to get it to load. 3) The Runescape servers are flooded with loading requests or they've shut down the game servers for updates. This most likely happens over Christmas when there's extremely high number of players on at one time. All you can do is wait a couple of minutes & try again.Q.11) Why won't RuneScape let me log in?A.11) There's 4 possible reasons behind this problem as well: 1) The world you're trying to get on is full or experiencing very heavy player loads. Each world can only support 2000 players at one time. When a world is around the 1900 or more players, you may have to wait until somebody gets off before you can get on. Just wait a couple of seconds (10-15s) & try again. 2) You've just left another world OR you didn't properly sign out on another world. Just wait a couple of seconds (like 15s) & try again. Most cases, the world's server will delay your sign-in for the time needed to transfer your account data to your new server. The server will actually have the running timer for you before you get logged in. 3) The world you're trying to get on is OFFLINE. It's unlikely, but it can happen when they're working on the servers. Just try an different world in the meantime. 4) You've been banned from the game due to Law Violations either in the forums or in the game. The only thing you can do is submit an appeal & pray that they unban your account.Q.12) Why do some players have crowns next to their names?A.12) The crowns are actually "Staff Badges", meaning that the player is either a Mod or an Admin for the game. Moderators (Mods) are denoted with a Silver Crown. They have the power to mute players & they can using their status to get a player banned. Administrators (Admins) are denoted with a Gold Crown. They have the power to ban players from the game. If you happen to see a Mod or an Admin in an area, please be on your best behavior as they can make short work of outlaws.Q.13) How can I do those cool text effects?A.13) The makers of RuneScape have managed to put in special text effects in the game to make your messages stand out a little more. To use them, you must enter them at the start of your message. Here's a partial list of effects you can use: * White: -- Makes your text white * Cyan: -- Makes your text light blue * Green: -- Makes your text green * Red: -- Makes your text red * Wave: -- Makes your text wavy * Wave2: -- Makes your text move in a wave * Flash: -- Makes your text flash in different colors * Flash2: -- Makes your text flash in different collors, but slower * Scroll: -- Makes your text scroll, like a news ticker Please be aware that yellow is your default text color. If you want to stack text effects, you MUST place the color first before the action effect, like: * Green:Wave:Testing! Please note that you MUST NOT HAVE ANY SPACES between your text effects AND the colon! If you place a space, the game will not acknowledge the text effect & will post it as part of your message.Q.14) What this Crossed Swords icon in the lower-left corner of the main game window mean?A.14) The Crossed Swords icon means that you've in a "Mass Combat" area. This means that the standard rules of combat (one player per creature) doesn't apply in that area. It allows two or more players to attack the same creature. However, it also means that two ore more creatures can attack one player. These areas CAN be more dangerous than normal, but you can get assistance as well. Please be aware that in these areas, only the first person that deals a hit on the creature will get the spoils. Reguardless on how much you assist another player, it's still "First Blood, First Serve".Q.15) What's this skull icon with a level number underneath it in the lower-left corner of the main game window mean?A.15) The Skull icon means that you're in... THE WILDERNESS!!! The level number below it indicates how deep you're in. The higher it is, the deeper you're in the wilderness. Please be aware that the higher that number is, the more players can attack you. If you're in Lv 10 Wilderness with Lv 30 Combat, any player with Lv 20 to Lv 40 Combat can attack you. Please check Section 23 for more information.Q.16) What's this timer in the lower-right corner of the game window?A.16) That timer means that the admins have initiated the SERVER SHUTDOWN SEQUENCE! That's how long you have to LOG OFF THAT SERVER before you lose all progress done in your current gaming session, or worse... your entire account! WHENEVER A SHUTDOWN TIMER SHOWS UP, FINISH WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING & LOG OUT IMMEDIATELY!!! YOU CAN THEN GO TO A DIFFERENT WORLD!Q.17) What world(s) should I play on?A.17) Generally, you'll want to play on the worlds that would give you the best connections... or the worlds that are the closest to you. These are what I call "Home Worlds" as they're the ones that will give you the best connection, which means less lag. If you have a friend in the game that doesn't use the game home worlds, select a world that works well for both of you.Q.18) Why to the show owners give pay me less than what they said when selling items & charge more than what they said when buying items?A.18) The in-game shops work PURELY on the laws of supply & demand as well as they do all their transactions on a "per item" basis. When you buy or less multiples of an item, the game is understanding the command as "Buy / Sell this item x times", where x is either 1, 5 or 10. When the shop's supply of an item changes, the price is readjusted & you're given or charged the value of the item at that instance. Under the law of supply & demand, as their supply goes up, their prices (buying & selling) go down. When their supply goes down, their prices go up. For example, you have 17 Unblessed Symbols & the shop has none. When you check their buying price, they state they'll pay 80 G for one. After you sold one & check again, they'll pay 74 G for the next one. To speed things up, the shop's buying algorithm for Unblessed Symbols is 80 - 6x, where x = the number of symbols on hand. This means that if you sold 10 Unblessed Symbols, instead of getting 800 G, you would only get 530 G (80 + 74 + 68 + 62 + 56 + 50 + 44 + 38 + 32 + 26 = 530) & the next Unblessed Symbol would be bought at 20 G. Fortunately, the shops do have an absolute minimum value they give to items, so you can't get buying price of every item to 0 G. The same goes for the selling price of the items the shop has. Let's say you're buying feathers & the shop has 1000 of them. The shop would start selling them at 1 G / ea., but when they have 900 left, the price would go up to 2 G / ea., 3 G when 800 are left & so on. While the price of feathers doesn't go up as fast as other items, it's a fair example of the increasing prices. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT STREET MERCHANTS DO NOT WORK ON THIS MODEL! Street Merchants are players who are selling items & they usually don't change the prices as their supply decreases & vice versa. When a street merchant says they're selling Rune Essense at 20 G / ea., they will sell you 1,000 Rune Ess for 20,000 G... but some merchants may give you a discount when buying in bulk.Q.19) What is a full armor set?A.19) A full armor set is a complete set of armor in a specific metal. It's practically a one-stop purchase as it includes all the armor a player would want in a specific metal. Full armor sets include ALL of the follow items: * Plate Body * Full Helm * Leg Plates / Plate Skirt (depending on the gender) * Kite Shield Please note that sets may include a Med Helm &/or Square shield instead of the items listed above. These are less desirable (as they provide less protection in comparison) & market demands a lower price than normal for these items. Please see section 18 for price ranges on full armor setsQ.20) What are trimmed pieces & why are they desireable?A.20) Trimmed pieces are armor pieces of a specific metal that has a different color lining the seams (or trim) of the item. The color or style of the trimmed article is different than the usual color of the item. Trimmed pieces are noted with one of three suffixes: (t) denotes Trimmed articles & the most common of the trimmed pieces. The trim on these articles are usually a different color than the original article, depending on the metal. (g) denotes Gold Trimmed articles & more desireable articles. The trim on these articles are done in gold for all metals, hence they're more desireable by players. (h) denotes Herald (or Harlequin) Trimmed articles & the rarest, most desirable of the trimmed articles. Herald trim uses a kind of color pattern similar to a "coat of arms" look. Unfortunately, Herald trim can only be found on Kite shields. The main reason why trimmed armor is desired by players is that it's fairly rare on free worlds & it adds a touch of customization to their characters. Those who wear trimmed armor are usually those who are fairly wealthy & like to show off a little bit. BE AWARE THAT TRIMMED ARTICLES CANNOT BE MADE BY PLAYERS! THEY CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED BY MEMBERS WHO THEN SELL THEM TO THE FREE WORLDS! ANYBODY THAT CLAIMS THEY CAN TRIM ARMOR SHOULD BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY!Q.21) Why do some people want more than what's stated in your guide for a specific item?A.21) Quick Answer: CAPITALISM! The LONG answer is that there various reasons for the discrepancies between their price & the prices listed in this guide. There's a mix of guide error, market support (demand) & natural greed. Some people try to squeeze as much money out of people while others are just trying to break even or make a little money on an investment. Again, I must stress that the prices listed in this guide are just a GUIDELINE to the prices as they will fluxuate as the demands of the players vary. It's easy for rare items to go for more than what's stated here, so don't get upset if the price of an item you want is a lot higher than you planned. The only advice I can give you is to drive a hard bargain & attempt to drive the price back down. You may lose some trades, but you will get the item(s) you want at a price you're willing to pay.Q.22) Where can I get a (Rubber Chicken / Wooly Cap / ect.)?A.22) As newer players will hate to hear this, but these "unique" items are special holiday items that can only be obtained by completing the holiday task for that year. The holidays that are celebrated in RuneScape are Halloween, Christmas & Easter. Each holiday celebration lasts about a week the holiday is in (from Sunday to Saturday, GMT) & the rewards are generally NEVER AVAILABLE AGAIN! These special items are usually UNTRADABLE & IRREPLACEABLE, so you must be online that week & complete the tasks to get those items. In more recent events, Diango (the Toy Merchant of Draynor) has made special arrangements with the holiday characters to allow players to replace old holiday items that you have have destroyed (as you cannot drop the items on the ground), but there's no guarantee with them. IF an item is replacable with Diango, the character that gives your the item will tell you about it. There are other, non-holiday items (like Frog Masks) that can only be obtained through specific random events. These are replaceable, but it may take a long time (like weeks, months or even years) before you get that even again.Q.23) Can a broken axe / pickaxe be repaired?A.23) YES, you can get your axe / pickaxe repaired for a fee as long as you have the axe head. For Woodcutting Axes, you'll need to go to Bob's Axes in Lumbridge. For Pickaxes, you'll need to go to Nurof's Mining Store in Western Dwarven Mines (NOT the store next to the northern entrance). Show the appropiate person the axe / pickaxe that you want repaired & they'll give you a quote to fix it (based on the metal). Once you pay them, they'll fix your axe / pickaxe. I suggest taking 2,000 G with you to cover the repair cost as it'll cost around 1,100 G to repair a runite pickaxe. If you don't have the axe head (only the handle), you'll have to look around the area where you were working OR you'll be out of luck & you'll have to pay full price to replace that axe / pickaxe. Q.24) What's better: Talismans or Tiaras?A.24) Both have their pros & cons, but it's more of a matter of preference. If you're new to Runecrafting, you may want to use talismans until you can remember the locations to the Rune Alters. If you're an expert Runecrafter, tiaras are the way to go so you can make more runes per trip to the Rune Alters.Q.A) Why are there spelling errors in this guide?A.A) When it comes to writing my guides, I take the "low tech" approach as I use the older, more basic programs like MS-DOS's edit or Linux's GEdit programs. These have the column counter & a way to keep me from going over the 80-character limit per line (which Game FAQ's mandate for all of their guides). The downsides is that they don't have any spell checker with them. When I want to spell-check a guide, I have to use Open Office Write (as MS Word doesn't touch plain text files for some idiotic reason) & their spelling dictionary isn't as complete as Microsoft's. I also don't like adding a bunch of custom words to the dictionary as well, especially when I'm not totally sure of the spelling. It's a pain to do the spell checkings as it's a 10 minute job to catch 3 words. Finally, I normally do most of my writting at night, when I'm fairly tired & I'm unwilling to proofread a 100-plus-page guide as I would most likely fall asleep on the keyboard & wreck the guide (either in print or on screen). So if you catch any spelling errors, please just forgive them.Q.B) Why are you using letter instead of numbers here?A.B) Numbers are for important stuff. Letters are for unimportant crap that I place in here for reference... like "Appendix stuff".Q.C) What's up with the metal in the version name?A.C) I'm using the "Olympic Metal" system to denote how finished the guide is at that time. I decided to do this because I NEVER USE the word "FINAL" as a version, especially as RuneScape is an ever-developing game. Bronze versions are very rough (like betas), Silver versions are fairly complete & Gold versions are complete & polished. I am planning on doing a "Platinum Version" in the future, when time allows as it will include images (like maps) & will be presented in Adobe Acrobat Format (PDF). The entire guide will be redone in MS Word or Open Office Write & would definately be something that could go to a publisher (or a copy store) & be a great reference book.Q.D) Can we be friends in RuneScape?A.D) Unless we can be friends OUTSIDE fo RuneScape (like another site or in real life), it's highly unlikely that it'll happen. More or less any player that add to my friends list usually gets tossed after 2-4 weeks (or 3 months at the longest) as we're rarely online at the same time. I do have a life outside of RuneScape (as well as Game FAQ's & other sites that I regularly visit) & if you're not more a part in my online world, you'll eventually fade into obscurity & eventually drop off my list. It's just a sad fact of my life... either live with it or you can fight your way in. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IN-GAME ASSISTANCE IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO BECOME FRIENDS! I may perform "random acts of kindness" with other players, but that's all it is. It's not that I like you, it's just that you caught me feeling generous. CAUTION: Anybody who gets on my ignore list practically has no chance of getting off that list. There's probably a 0.1% chance of it ever happening to you, so don't get on that list.Q.E) May I use your guide on my website?A.E) As outlined in Section D (Copyright Information & Licensing), you must get my permission first before you do so. Please be aware that I may choose to perform a quick "background checks" of your website (or web server) before giving an OK. I'm hesitant of sites that have bad reps using my guides. Please be aware that sites that have a usage license with me will get version updates directly from me. You are allowed to use this guide (in print or digital form) for PERSONAL USE without permission... just as long as you don't rip off any information for your guide(s).26) The Newbish Glossary---------------------------Another idiot-friendly section (remembering that there are more idiots onlinethan I'd like to acknowledge) with terms that you'll most likely hear withinthe game.

Skill Guide - Fishing

2007-10-21T13:57:00.000-07:00

Introduction
The fishing skill is one of the few non combat skills that allows you make something from nothing by collecting fish as a raw resource, similar to woodcutting and mining. Everyone needs food to fight with and fish are the most popular source making it a very beneficial and profitable skill to have.
In this guide you will find out about each of the basic tools for catching fish and the locations in which you can do so.
If you are just starting out in Fishing you may want to pay a visit to Finlay the Fishing Tutor on the beach, south of the graveyard in Lumbridge to learn about the different kinds of fish. He will give you a free small fishing net if you lose yours.
Return to Top
Basic Tools
Net (Level 1): When you first start fishing, the only thing you can catch is shrimp. These small creatures can be found in many parts of the sea in RuneScape. One of the best places if you want cooking experience as well, is on the seashore near Draynor Village. Just a little Southwest of the bank there's a fishing spot where you can catch shrimp, and there are lots of trees around to get wood for your cooking fire. To catch shrimp, you'll need a "Small Fishing Net", that can be bought in the Port Sarim fishing shop for 5 gold pieces. You can also catch anchovies with the net at level 15.
If you are a member and have completed the Swan Song quest you might want to dust off your small net and put it back to use catching monkfish (level 62) at the Piscatoris Fishing Colony. Not only do they heal 16 each after cooking, also give more fishing experience than sharks!
Baiting at sea (Level 5):Once you catch enough shrimp and your fishing level reaches 5, you will be able to catch sardines. To catch sardines, you'll need a fishing rod and some bait. A fishing rod costs 5 gold pieces. Bait prices are based on how many the store has in stock. The shop will normally be stocked with 1500 units of bait, and they cost 3 gold pieces each at that amount. You can also catch herring with bait and a fishing rod, but you will need level 10 fishing to catch them. You can catch both sardines and herring from the sea. To use your fishing rod and bait, first make sure you have both in your inventory. Then right-click on the fishing spot and select the second option, which is 'Bait'. You will use one bait each time you catch a fish.
Baiting in river (Level 25): You can also Fish with bait in the rivers of RuneScape, but you won't catch sardines or herring as these are sea fish. When you fish with a fishing rod and bait in a river, you'll catch pike. This fish heals 8, and you need level 25 to fish it. Again, get a fishing rod and some bait, and start fishing. Bait is the second option when you right click on the river fishing spots.
Note: You can also get bait from killing zombies and banshees.
Big Net (Level 16/P2P):
When you reach level 16 you can begin big net fishing. As well as catching mackerel you may find other things washing into your net such as oysters, seaweed, leather gloves/boots, or every once in a while a casket which can contain coins, gems, talismans or even a half of a key. Wearing a Necklace of Skills will increase your chances of getting a casket. Then when you get to level 23 you will also begin to find cod in your net.
Once you reach level 46 you can start catching bass with your net or big bass if you're lucky enough (which can be stuffed and mounted using the Construction skill). Although you might want to carry on catching lobsters at this point because you will still catch quite a few seaweed and old boots which aren't very appetising.
Feathering/luring (Level 20): Next up is fly-fishing. You will need level 20 fishing to catch trout, and level 30 fishing to catch salmon. To go fly fishing, you will need a fly fishing rod and some feathers. Like all other F2P fishing equipment, both can be bought in the fishing shop in Port Sarim. You can fly fish only in the RuneScape rivers. You cannot use your fly-fishing rod and feathers on fishing spots in the sea. To fly-fish, simply click on the fishing spot and to select "Lure". You will use one feather each time you catch a fish.
Note: You can also get feathers from killing chickens.
If you're fishing and cooking for experience, then Lumbridge is probably the best place to be. Just fish, get some wood, start a fire, cook your fish then either drop or eat. Fly-fishing is probably your best bet for power fishing because it has a high catch rate and can earn you over 50% more experience per hour than catching monkfish, even at level 90+!
If, however, you want to bank the fish instead of eat/drop it, then Barbarian village is probably the best place for you. Fish, cook them in the barbarian house farthest to the North (there's 2 ever-lasting fires), and go North into Edgeville and bank your fish. Many pk'ers like trout and salmon because they heal 7-9 hp, and if they're only 5 hp down it's a waste eating a whole lobster or swordfish.
At level 38 members can catch rainbow fish by using stripey feathers rather than regular feathers. Stripey feathers can be obtained by snaring tropical wagtails (hunting level 19). Rainbow fish can be used raw to hunt barb-tailed kebbits, or cooked and eaten to heal 11hp.
Harpooning (Level 35): Next up is the big boys (well, fish actually). Get your Harpoon (Port Sarim fishing shop, costs 5 gold pieces) and head off to the beautiful island of Karamja (take the boat from Port Sarim). Go down to the fishing dock, located North of the banana field. The trip to Karamja will cost you 30 gold pieces by the way, and another 30 to get back. Here you'll be able to catch tuna with the harpoon. Simply right click on the fishing spot and select "harpoon". Tuna is good for training on low level monsters that won't hit you that hard. For example, Karamja Volcano has red spiders and skeletons which are good for training. There are also Lesser Demons, but you might need some better food for them.
Next on the harpooning chain is swordfish. You will need level 50 fishing to fish these. They heal 14 hp, and you catch them the same place you catch tuna. Depending on your fishing level, you will most likely get more tuna than swordfish when harpooning for them. Like the tuna, you also need a harpoon to catch swordfish.
Members who reach a lofty level 76 can start catching the bone-crunching sharks. They heal an amazing 20 hp, and you catch them the same place you go big net fishing.
Note: If you are p2p, you can obtain Barb-tail harpoons from Barb-tailed Kebbits (level 33 Hunter) or buy from other players. A barb-tail harpoon is wieldable, which frees up 1 more inventory space. That's handy isn't it?
Caging (Level 40): You can also fish lobsters on Karamja. However, to do this, you will need a "Lobster Pot" to do this (don't ask WHY they call it a pot...makes more sense to call it a cage. A pot is for cooking! Oh well...). The lobster pot will cost 20 gold pieces from the Port Sarim fishing shop. Lobsters are a great way of making money. Many people prefer lobsters for training food, because you only need level 40 to fish and cook them, and they heal 12 hp. Cage is the first option when you click on the sea fishing spot.
Heavy Rod Fishing (Level 48): When you reach level 48 fishing and have completed enough Barbarian Training, you will be able to catch Leaping trout. At higher fishing levels you can catch Leaping salmon and even Leaping sturgeon (there are strength and agility level requirements as well). You will need a Heavy fishing rod, as well as bait to catch these fish. A Heavy fishing rod can be found under Otto's bed. You can use any of these items as bait(from left to right of the picture): Bait, Feather, Fish cutoffs, Caviar, Roe. As a bonus to fishing experience, you will also gain a small amount of Strength and Agility experience. The Leaping trout and salmon are no different then their fly fishing counterparts except that these fish cannot be cooked. But if you use a knife with a leaping fish, you will obtain 10 cooking experience as well as one or more of the following: Fish cutoffs, Roe (Trout, Salmon), Caviar (Sturgeon). But sometimes cutting up the fish will give you nothing. The Roe and Caviar can be used on 2 dose potions to enhance them. A dose of these potions will heal a few HP as well as the normal potion effect.
Fishing without a Harpoon (Level 55): With 55 Fishing and more Barbarian Training, members can use their own bare hands to capture fish! This is exactly like Harpoon fishing, but you will get some Strength exp as well. Take note that to do this, you must have a Strength level equivalent to the fishing level that is needed to normally catch this fish. For example, Tuna requires 55 Fishing and 35 Strength to capture.
Vessel (Level 62/P2P): When you have completed Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest and have the appropriate fishing level you can catch your own Karambwan which heals 18 each if cooked properly. First you need loads of Karambwanji for bait. Use a small net to catch them in the lake just south of the Tai Bwo Wannai village fire ring. When you think you have enough, grab your vessel and head across the log bridge and up to the north shore. Use a Karambwanji with your vessel to load it, then click on a fishing spot and away you go! Remember, you have to reload your vessel after each catch. Players who have at least started Fairy Tale Part II quest to access fairy rings, can use code CKR for the Karambwanji lake, and code DKP to reach the Karambwan fishing shore. Note: If you've lost your vessel you can buy a new one from Tiadeche in the village; he will also buy raw Karambwan from you.

Quest Guide - Pirate's Treasure

2007-10-21T13:25:00.000-07:00

Red beard Frank

Difficulty level: Medium
Start location: Talk to Redbeard Frank - the pirate on the dock outside the Port Sarim pub. Ask him if he knows anything about treasure - as any good pirate does. Redbeard Frank knows where the secret pirate treasure is hidden. It may require some work to persuade him to let you know where, though.
Required:
Items: 120 gp, spade, a white apron (buy from Varrock clothes shop or pick up free in the Port Sarim fishing shop).
NPC: Redbeard Frank, Zambo, Luthas, Customs officer, Wydin

1: Getting the rum
Talk to the sailors on the docks and purchase passage to Karamja for 30gp. Cross the gangplank to begin the voyage. Once you've disembarked go straight to the pub (as any normal person would in the sweltering heat of a tropical island!) It's the first building on the left (south) of the path. Trade with Zambo, the slightly drunk bartender, and buy a Karamjan Rum for 30gp.2: The beginnings of a plan
If you talk to the customs officers on the docks, they'll tell you that Asgarnia has banned the import of spirits. If you try to go through with the rum the officer will confiscate it.
In a small hut near the dock you'll find Luthas, the owner of the adjacent banana plantation. Have a bit of a chat about the customs officer and he'll tell you that he knows her and that his exports don't get searched! Ask him for a job and he'll employ you to pick bananas and pack them into the crate outside.3: Getting the rum to the mainland
Go outside and put the rum into the crate. Then go to the banana plantation and pick 10 bananas and put them in the crate too. (Use the "fill crate" option to add them all at once.) Luthas will pay you 30gp for collecting the bananas. Talk to Luthas again and ask him where the bananas are going - he'll tell you that he sells them to Wydin, the owner of the food shop in Port Sarim. Go and talk to the customs officer and sail back to the mainland (costs 30gp again.) Note: If you just teleport off Karamja, the bottle will break.4: Getting the rum to Frank
You need a white apron now - if you forgot, just go into the Fishing shop north of the Food shop and get one off the wall. Go to the food shop and ask Wydin if you can have a job. Once you're employed, you can go into the back of the shop and get the rum out of one of the crates. Take it to Frank and he'll tell you about the treasure.5: The chest
After Frank tells you his tale he gives you a key to the chest in the Blue Moon Inn. The Inn is in central Varrock, south of the general store. Open the chest (upstairs, end of the hallway) and inside you'll find a note. One Eyed Hector wasn't known for his handwriting, but it says, "Visit the city of the White Knights, in the park Saradomin points to the X which marks the spot."6: The treasure
In Falador park the statue of Saradomin is pointing to an X created by paths, walk to the center and click on the spade to dig with it. Be aware that the Gardener will attack you when you try to dig.
Reward:
A gold ring
Cut emerald
450gp
Ability to right click "pay-fare" for the trip to and from Karamja.

Quest Guide - The Knight's Sword

2007-10-21T13:22:00.000-07:00

Ice Giant.

Difficulty level: Medium
Start location: Talk with the Squire in the white knights castle, located in central Falador.
Sir Vyvin's squire is in trouble. He has accidentally lost Sir Vyvin's ceremonial sword. Help him find a replacement without Sir Vyvin finding out.
Required:
Skills: Level 10 mining, able to run through high level monsters, or have protection (friends/prayer) to use against them.
Items: Redberry pie, pickaxe and 2 iron bars.
Monsters: (run past) Ice Warrior (57), Ice Giant (53)
NPC: Squire, Reldo, Thurgo, Sir Vyvin

1: Reldo: After talking to the Squire, head to Varrock and talk with Reldo in the palace. Ask him about the Imcando Dwarves. Once you have done this, go make a redberry pie if you haven't done that already.
2: Thurgo: When you have the pie, go as far south of Port Sarim as you can (until you see the sea, further south than Rimmington and south of a chapel) and find the dwarf called Thurgo. (His hut is on the beach west of a dungeon entrance.) Ask if he'd like some pie, and then speak with him again about making a special sword.
3: Getting the picture: Go back and talk with the Squire. He'll tell you that Sir Vyvin has a portrait of his father with the sword. Go to the third floor of the Falador castle and locate Sir Vyvin. Either get a friend to talk with him (choosing distraction) then search the cupboard on the wall. You can also leave the door open and wait for him to go out of the room. When he does, close the door and then search the cupboard. Either method works.
4: Dwarf: Once you have the portrait, go back to the dwarf. He'll tell you that you need to get him 2 iron bars and a blurite ore. The iron bars shouldn't be a problem, however the blurite ore is a bit tricky. You might want to bring a friend to protect you in this part of the quest, unless you think you can take on a level 57 monster. Go down the ladder just east of Thurgo's house, and then north and east past the muggers and hobgoblins, all the way into the icy area.

Once you're at the ice warriors, look around for some blue rocks near the back of the cave. Mine one of them, and get out again. When you have the 2 iron bars and the blurite ore, you can go back to Thurgo again. See "Getting a second sword" below for instructions on how to get a second blurite sword you can keep for yourself.
5: Finishing: When you have the sword, simply head back to the Squire and get your reward :)
Getting a second sword: When you go back to the Squire with the blurite sword, he will take it from you. If you want to have your own blurite sword that you can keep, you have to ask Thurgo to make one for you before you return to the Squire.
When you go into the ice cave to get the blurite ore, get an extra ore. You will also need another 2 iron bars (4 total). When you speak to Thurgo, he will take 1 blurite ore and 2 iron bars to make your first blurite sword. After he gives you the first sword, drop or wield it before you speak to him again. Then speak to him quickly before it disappears. Thurgo will make you another sword. Then all you have to do is pick up the one you dropped if you did drop it.
Drop the second sword, keep it wielded or bank it before you speak to the Squire for your reward. Be sure to drop or wield one of the swords before you speak to him. You can pick it up after you get your reward if you dropped it. If you keep both swords in your inventory when you speak to the Squire, he'll take both of them.
Reward:
12,725 smithing exp.

Enter the Manor to the north of Veronica and climb the stairs, at the main staircase turn left to find a smaller spiral staircase, climb this. Talk to Professor Oddenstein who will tell you that Ernest has been turned into a chicken as part of his experiments.

You will then offer to find the parts he requires: the pressure gauge, a rubber tube and his oil can.3: Rubber Tube and Pressure Gauge
Descend one flight of stairs to the first floor (second floor for Americans) and pick up the fish food in the room south of the stairs. Then descend to the entrance level.

Now walk to the east end of the mansion, here you should find a spade (take it) and a back door. This back door is the only way of leaving the mansion. Make sure you have your poisoned fish food and a spade and head outside.
Walk around the manor to the western side where you will see a compost heap. Search this heap to find a key (you need a spade). Now continue to the fountain in the southwest corner of the gardens. Use your poisoned fish food on the fountain then search it to find a pressure gauge.
Now enter the mansion again by the front doors. To the north of the stairs you will see a small room with a locked door. On the floor of the room there is a rubber hose guarded by a level 22 skeleton. Use your key to open the door. You do not have to fight the skeleton; you can just run in, grab the hose and run out.4: Oil Can

Quest Guide - Dragon Slayer

2007-10-21T13:03:00.000-07:00

Elvarg The Dragon

Difficulty level: Hard
Start location: Just outside Varrock, in the Champions guild. Speak to the Guild Master to start.
Required:
Skills: 32 quest points. Be good enough to beat a level 83 Dragon and a lesser demon(s).
Items: 3 planks, 90 steel nails, Hammer, 2000 gp, Unfired bowl, Wizard's mind bomb, Lobster pot, a piece of silk, and a good HIGH hitting 1 handed weapon.
Suggested:
An extra 10,000 gp is optional for one part of the quest. Bring good food for the final battle.
Monsters: Worm brain (level 2), Giant Rat (level 3), Ghosts (level 19), Zombies (level 24), Skeletons (level 25), Melzar the Mad (level 43), Lesser Demons (level 82), Elvarg the Dragon (level 83).
NPC: Champions Guild Master, Oziach, Oracle, Klarense, Ned, Duke Horacio

1: To start off
To start off, talk to the guild master in the Champions guild. Ask him about obtaining a Rune Plate mail, he will tell you that he has a friend, Oziach who can help you out with one. He can be found in a small hut just left of the entrance to Edgeville. He will tell you that you may be in the Champions but you may not be worthy of the title "Hero". He will set you off on a quest to kill the green dragon Elvarg on Crandor Isle. You will need to collect 3 map pieces in order to get to the isle. Return to the Champion's Guild, where the Guild Master will give you the key to Melzar's Maze. Ask the Guild Master all the questions you can in order to be able to proceed through the quest. You may want to drop the key and get a second one from him - some players like to train in the Maze.2: The first map piece
By far the hardest, bring maybe a couple of lobbies if you are low level as you need to fight a level 43 and level 82 lesser demon here. This is basically south west of Falador (north west of Rimmington). Make sure you have the key the guild master gave you.
Click here to see theMelzar's Maze Map
Make your way in and start killing some rats till you get a red key. Then go into the door in the north west corner and go up the ladder. Now you should be in a room with ghosts, kill them till you get the orange key. Then go though the door 2nd from the left, then up the ladder.- to Melzar the mad
Keep killing skeletons until you get a yellow key and go into the most SW door, then follow the corridor around, then down the ladder. Kill some zombies till you get the blue key and go through the door leading to Melzar the mad (most Northern door). He will say all sorts of weird things but kill him and then go through the door leading to the Lesser Demon. The last part of the map can be collected! Kill the lesser and collect your green key. Go through the door and search the chest to get the map piece. If you die in the maze, you can talk to Oziach again about the first map piece to get another key and try again.3: The second map piece
For this you need: Unfired bowl (use soft clay on potters wheel - see crafting guide), Wizard's mind bomb (obtainable in Falador pub for 3 gp), Lobster pot (Port Sarim fishing shop 20 gp), and a piece of silk (Al-Kharid for 3 gp). Once you have all of that, go and speak with the Oracle on Ice Mountain, and then take the items down to the Dwarven Mine and use each on the door to the room in the north east corner, just before you go into the scorpion room. Enter the room and search the chest and voilá, another piece down and 1 to go. 4: The third map piece
Right let's do the easiest first. There are two ways of getting this. The first is the hardest, but by far the cheapest. Go to the Port Sarim jail. You can either kill Wormbrain with magic or with range. Then use the Telekinetic grab spell on the piece of map he drops. If you're only level 31 magic you can drink an extra Wizard's mind bomb, which can be bought from the Falador bar, to get your magic high enough for the Telekinetic grab spell. If this is all too much effort for you or if your magic level is too low, you can simply buy the map for 10,000gp from Wormbrain.5: Obtaining a boat
Firstly you will need 3 planks (spawn on Entrana), 90 steel nails, hammer, and 2000 gp. Talk to the guy Klarense at the very end of Port Sarim harbour and offer to buy the boat; he will ask for 2k gp. A boat for 2k gold? BARGAIN! Oh, one problem - it's got a big hole in it. To get the planks you need to go to level 17 wilderness by the graveyard, or if you're a member, you can go to Entrana (speak to any Monk on the dock south of the pub in Port Sarim) or to the Barbarian Outpost where you'll find 4 respawns. If you have a Games Necklace, you can teleport there quickly. For the nails you need to smith 6 steel bars into nails, or buy them from another player (members may buy them from the Sawmill Operator north east of Varrock). Now go back to your boat and patch it up with your hammer and materials. 6: Preparation
Before you go to Draynor, use the three map pieces with each other, and you'll have a full map. Now go to Draynor and find Ned the Fisherman and ask him if he will take you to Crandor. He will say yes and he will meet you at the boat. Plan on using your Home teleport to Lumbridge, or take the required runes for a teleport or an item that lets you teleport as the only way off the island is through Red Deadly spiders or dead. Oh, and take some cooked lobsters eh? Also, remember a good one-handed weapon (NOT a 2h nor a regular bow), and a dragonfire shield (you can get this from Duke Horacio upstairs in Lumbridge castle). So go to your boat and off you go. 7: Slaying the dragon
You will crash into rocks when you stop and your boat will be ruined, so don't plan on taking it back.
Click here to see theCrandor Island Map
Get off the boat and make your way past all the dangers and into the dungeon. You'll be at the northern end of the dungeon.
Click here to see theKaramja Volcano Dungeon Map
Go ahead and into the fray of the green dragon's lair. He will hit no more than 13 on people with 40-45 defence (using the dragonfire shield, that is!) Just use the tactic, run heal attack over and over and you'll eventually win. The dragon uses long range fire breaths, so ranging or maging it isn't recommended, at least without wearing the anti-dragon shield. If you happen to die during the fight, you have to fix the boat to sail off away. Because of that it's recommended to go look for the secret door before fighting the dragon if you're not sure that you can beat the dragon.Returning later
When you've killed the beast, you automatically cut of its head. Then, you can just run south through the Lesser Demons (level 82), and go out south through the "odd looking wall". You can now return through this wall at any time. When you get to the Deadly red spiders (level 34)(don't keeping walking south into more demons), head east towards the gold rocks and then south to the dangling climbing rope, where you can climb out. The isle is good for training higher levels; the lessers and skeletons are good experience.
After you escape the dragon's lair, you must take the head to Oziach to prove you have killed it.
Reward:
18,650 Strength and 18,650 Defence xp.
Ability to wear Rune platebody and green dragonhide body armour.
