29-Jan-2010 - RuneScape Machinima Competition 2

2010-01-29T17:00:00.001-08:00

Everyone loves a good YouTube video, right? Well, following the success of our last machinima competition it's fair to say many people love to make them too. To that end, we will be launching the Orb of Oculus camera tool next week to allow even more creativity for RuneScape filmmakers, which should come in handy for those looking to enter the competition!

The first machinima competition was pretty straightforward: make a short machinima using RuneScape. This time, however, we're introducing a theme to spice things up a bit. We want you to make us an advert for something within RuneScape!

It could be anything from a location to a shop, a monster or an item, or even a whole skill. Alternatively, you may want to advertise a RuneScape business (e.g. your restaurant or wrestling federation) or a tournament you have planned. In short, you can advertise just about anything, so long as it exists within RuneScape.

The winner will receive lifetime membership to RuneScape, a tour of the studio to meet the people who make RuneScape happen, and an invitation to a Jagex event to be held later this year. The event is very much in the planning stages at the moment, but we'll be sure to elaborate as the event takes shape. Meanwhile, four runners-up will each receive lifetime RuneScape membership.

If all of this has got your creative juices flowing and you think there’s a place for you in Gielinor's advertising agency, then you should visit this dedicated competition thread for more details, competition rules, J-mod support and an FAQ. Alternatively, you can see the rules and an example advertisement made by last year's winner, Excl, on our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/runescape.

We’ll be posting a selection of entries on the channel throughout the course of the competition too, so if you love your machinima, show your support of the RuneScape video-making community by subscribing to the channel and telling them!

The best of luck to you all. May the competition commence!

29-Jan-2010 - Clan Blog and Clan Celebration Month

2010-01-29T16:59:00.001-08:00

Today, we’ve published the second Clan Submissions blog, a semi-regular blog post with content driven by the clan community, for the clan community. There are a number of different things included in each one, such as artwork created by clans for forums and websites, interviews with people from the clan community and reports from the field of battle.

The new issue of the Clan Submissions blog includes an interview with the oldest clan in RuneScape (The Sabres), a report from Josh1319 about ‘The’ Clan’s 10th Birthday Party (which some J-Mods attended), and some fantastic artwork. If you missed the first Clan Submissions blog, check it out here, and let’s not forget the new knowledge base article about clans either.

We’re also proud to announce our first in-game clan festival, with the Clan Celebration Month going ahead in February. Each week during February there will be a series of themed events to capture the different areas within the clan community. We couldn’t capture everything in only four weeks, but with skilling, combat and specialist weeks, and an introduction to clans week, we’ve got a lot of fun ahead of us! If you’re interested in clans, want to explore different areas of the community or are looking for some fun, check out our Clan Celebration Month forum thread to see what events are the right ones for you.

28-Jan-2010 - RuneScape Q&A – Mark Gerhard

2010-01-29T16:58:00.000-08:00

We’ve read through all of the questions and sent them on to the relevant teams here at Jagex. Now it’s time for the first batch of answers from Jagex’s CEO, Mark Gerhard.

The questions answered in this batch deal with matters about RuneScape and Jagex as a whole. We’ve posted the questions and answers on this forum thread, so you can discuss the answers.

Mark Gerhard's (Mod MMG) live Q&A session will be held on this forum thread tonight, running from 8-10pm (GMT).

Remember that this is just the first batch of answers, and that other questions will be covered in different teams’ Q&A sessions.

I’d also like to emphasise how important these sessions are to us. While we’re all busy working on RuneScape and other Jagex games, we know it's important to make time for our players to share their views and ask us questions on a whole range of areas. After all, you are the community, and we want to know what you want to know.

19-Jan-2010 - Barbarian Assault Improvements

2010-01-24T00:34:00.001-08:00

Some time ago, we released the minigame Barbarian Assault. From your feedback (and from playing the game ourselves) it’s become clear that the rewards were not quite up to scratch, so we have devoted some time to improving them. Although our focus has mainly been on the rewards, we also took this opportunity to alter some small aspects of the minigame itself (though we do also have a long list of other ideas for potential future updates).

The list of changes is extensive, but here are some of the main ones to whet your appetite:

New Penance horn that lets you gain double XP in Agility, Firemaking and Mining (in a similar fashion to the tools from Stealing Creation).
New colours of abyssal whips.
New Penance trident weapon.
Penance armour stat improvement and Prayer restoring set bonus.
Penance gloves now reduce more weight.
Gamble points rebalanced (they still include a rare chance for dragon armour).
Ability to show off your achievements in the roles of attacker, defender, collector and healer.
High score tables for the attacker, defender, collector and healer roles.
Waiting rooms increased in size.
Additional wave room ticket system for saving progress through battles.
Blue penance eggs now reduce the target Penance’s stats and deal damage.

If you speak with Commander Connad at the Barbarian Outpost (you can teleport directly there with a games necklace) he’ll show you all the new rewards, which are also listed on the Barbarian Assault KB page.

Bring on the Penance!

19-Jan-2010 - Agility Benefits for Fishing, Hunter and Thieving

2010-01-24T00:33:00.000-08:00

Agility has long helped adventurers excel in other skills in subtle ways – e.g. letting them run for longer while crafting runes or letting them take shortcuts to get to resources faster. Today, Agility steps up in its role as a support skill in a more direct way.

Adventurers keen on Fishing will be interested to know that a high Agility level now gives them a small chance to catch two tuna, swordfish or even sharks in one go. There’s no additional experience when this occurs, but who could say no to a free shark or two?

Similarly, adventurers with high Agility and Thieving levels now stand a chance of pickpocketing double, triple or even quadruple the usual amount of loot from unsuspecting targets.

Finally, those with exceptionally high Hunter and Agility levels can now return to the butterflies they once lumbered after with their big clumsy nets and show the amateurs how it’s really done, by catching butterflies in the palm of their hands before releasing them (just to prove they didn’t smush them). Such a display of skill and finesse will be rewarded with a large dose of Hunter experience and a little extra Agility experience too.

11-Jan-2010 - Nomad’s Requiem

2010-01-11T16:35:00.001-08:00

Soul Wars has a dark underbelly that Nomad would rather you didn’t see. His disappearances have become more and more frequent of late, and each time he returns looking...different. It seems he has been working on something with dangerous implications for the whole of RuneScape, and there is a chance – but only a chance – that you can stop it.

Our second Grandmaster quest is wildly different from While Guthix Sleeps; instead of searching the world for answers, Nomad’s Requiem is set wholly beneath Soul Wars. Don’t be foolish enough to think that this makes it less challenging, however. Indeed, expect quite the opposite: this quest is densely packed with intricate puzzles, punishing environments and at least one battle that will push you harder than almost any other on RuneScape, whatever combat level you’ve reached. You have been warned!

Those who persevere and complete this quest will be rewarded with Zeal Points (among other things), which are stored at Soul Wars and can be spent in your own time. Zeal Points can be traded in for varying amounts of XP in any combat skill (except Summoning), Slayer XP, charms to train Summoning, or a pet Slayer creature. For a more detailed explanation of how Zeal Points work, check out the Soul Wars rewards on the Knowledge Base.

Mod Rathe
RuneScape Content Developer

Summary:

Where to start Nomad's Requiem:

Speak to Zimberfizz at Soul Wars.

Requirements to complete Nomad's Requiem:
King's Ransom (including the Knight Waves)
75 Magic
70 Prayer
66 Mining
65 Hunter
60 Construction
Must have fully completed the Soul Wars tutorial
Must have completed at least one game of Soul Wars (win, lose or draw)
Having very high (85+) stats in all combat disciplines is advised, unless you’re particularly good at combat

In other news...

We have improved how Zeal earned from playing Soul Wars is cashed in. If when spending 10 or 100 Zeal you gain a level in your chosen skill, then your new level will be taken into account as soon as it is earned, and the remainder of the 10 or 100 Zeal will be applied based on your new level. Remember that if you spend 100 Zeal at a time, you receive a 10% bonus to any XP gained, so now it is better than ever to save up your Zeal.

We've adjusted the apparent lag when using your inventory and clicking and dragging items around. This also means you won't drop the wrong item selected if you'd clicked too fast. Additionally, a slot will not remain highlighted when it shouldn't.

The tooltip description for the Soul Split curse has been corrected to reflect the actual amount of hitpoints restored.

You can now set an option to not offer the ability to switch between prayers and curses when recharging your Prayer at an altar. A few altars originally left out, including the ones found in the God Wars Dungeon, now offer this switching facility.

We've added a huge amount of drop sounds to items. It's a nice little feature that should let you realise if you've dropped something by accident that you didn’t mean to.

The Christmas 2009 holiday event has now been removed from the game.

31-Dec-2009 - New Year Message

2010-01-11T16:34:00.000-08:00

A very happy New Year to you all! We hope that you are filling your boots with good cheer and Party Pete-like celebrations.

During the first half of 2009 we learnt a whole lot from our community and focused mostly on improving our underlying technology and switching back to weekly updates. While this was possibly less exciting to some, it was very necessary to set the stage to make possible the updates we had planned for the second half of the year. Looking back at 2009, there have been some pretty big updates. A few highlights include:

Finishing the goblin storyline with The Chosen Commander.
High-level training updates for several skills with the Living Rock Caverns, the Agility extensions and the Woodcutting sawmill.
New rewards for skills, like the ancient curses, the extreme potions and the dragon pickaxe.
The Evil Tree.
Cool quests like Curse of Arrav, Blood Runs Deep, Hunt for Red Raktuber and The Temple at Senntisten.
The Objective and Advisor systems.
And let’s not forget about new support for resizing the game window (even in Standard Detail mode) - no more playing in a tiny window!

So, what is the new year going to bring? For one, we want to continue producing quests at the rate and quality that we have been, which means expanding the most popular storylines and bringing a couple to dramatic conclusions. We’ll also be casting a critical eye over our existing skills, searching for holes, and filling them with new training activities and rewards. That’s before we even mention the new skill that is coming in 2010! And yes, there will be new combat equipment as well, and also a new Grandmaster quest – but more on that closer to release.

Of course, we haven’t planned every single update yet because we want to take on board your ideas for RuneScape content as well, and naturally give ourselves the spare resources to make it happen. RuneScape’s success over the last decade wouldn’t have been possible without your passionate input, and we promise to continue to solicit and take on board your feedback. So, go to the forums and get your ideas seen, heard, then - in some cases – even played in 2010!

We hope you have a great one!

Andrew, Mark Gerhard and Mod Fetzki

2009-10-26T17:17:00.000-07:00

2009 Hallowe'en event CHEATS and HINTS

The 2009 Hallowe'en event, also called Web of Shadows, is a currently on-going holiday event that was released on Monday 26 October 2009. The event takes place in the Grim Reaper's house. To access the event, the player can enter the black Player-owned house portal located South of Falador and east of Rimmington, at the same location that the portal was two years ago during the 2007 Hallowe'en event. See the holiday event icon on the world map and minimap.

Official quest description: Just when you thought it was safe to go into the bathroom...

Release date: 26 October 2009

Start: East of Rimmington, North west of Port Sarim.

Difficulty: *****

Some energy potions for running around the Grim Reapers house might be useful for players with low Agility.

When she gives you affection, you better wear protection!

edit Event Walkthrough

[edit] The Grim Reaper's House

The aim of the event was to spin webs around the house of the Grim Reaper, Death. First, talk to the Grim Reaper. He will tell you he has a spider in his bath, and wants it removed. Go upstairs and talk to the spider. He will tell you, in one or two word answers, that the Spider Queen has sent him, and that he will only move if the spider queen tells him to. Go down and report to the Grim Reaper. He will create a web-like portal for you to teleport to the Spider Realm. Enter it, and you will find yourself on the first floor of a four floor dungeon.

[edit] Spider Realm

[edit] First Floor

On the first floor, players will find themselves on a small unstable web. The player must cross web strands to reach the ladder at center of the web, however, only certain web strands can support the player -- If the player crosses a wrong strand, they will fall down and be taken back to the beginning of the web. The player must use trial-and-error to find the correct strands and make their way to the center of the web. Note that there is only one correct path that the player may take, and it is different for every player. (This puzzle is similar to the "Where am I?" puzzle of Lunar Diplomacy, or the "Pit and the Grid" puzzle of Underground Pass, albeit in a much more simple form)

Unstable Web - Entrance to Land of the Spiders.

[edit] Second Floor

A player swinging across a web.

On the second floor is an Agility course style level, requiring the player to swing on webs, cross monkey bars, or tip-toe across web strands. The player must reach the ladder on the northern-most web.

[edit] Third floor

When the player reaches the third level, they can find the Spider Herald. After the player mentions that they are helping the Grim Reaper, the Spider Holy will allow the player to climb the ladder to the level leading to the Queen Spider. There are many other spiders there such as the royal fly catcher, and master web spinner.

[edit] Fourth Floor

The Spider Queen will tell the player that the Grim Reaper offended the spiders by sweeping all webs from his house, upsetting the order of Hallowe'en set by Guthix. The Queen will refuse to move the giant spider from the Grim Reaper's bathroom until his house is again filled with spider webs.

The Queen will instruct the player to talk to the Spider Herald again, who will give the player a companion named Eek. The player is then instructed to return to the Grim Reaper's house, and to fill the house with webs with the help of Eek.

[edit] The Grim Reaper's house (again!)

Talk to the Grim Reaper. After a short conversation with the player and Eek, you will be instructed to place webs all around the Grim Reaper's house. The player will need to hold Eek in their hand, and then left-click any furniture in the house that has the Web option. A total of sixty-four items will need to be webbed in order for the Queen Spider to be satisfied. Eek will also inform the player upon entering any room exactly how many items in that room need to be "webbed". The player can also Talk-to Eek at any time to determine how many items that need to be webbed are remaining in the current room.

Muncher the dog, one-hit-KO'ing a player.

It is advised to travel from room-to-room, looking for any object that Eek can web, and then moving on to the next room when Eek has informed you that the room has enough webs in it. Items that the player should look for are candlesticks, chairs, tables, beds, footlockers, wardrobes, bookcases and fireplaces.

Note that in the room with Muncher, the Grim Reaper's dog, the player will not be allowed to spin any webs until Muncher is satisfied - attempting to do so will result in Eek being scared by Muncher and unable to spin the web. You can right-click Muncher (or simply click Interact to open a dialog box); the player should Entertain him and then let him sniff Eek, so that Muncher can see that Eek is harmless. After Eek states that Muncher likes her, the items in Muncher's room can be webbed by Eek.

Once sixty-four webs have been spun in the house, the player will need to talk to the Grim Reaper to let him know the task is complete, and finally to the Queen Spider to remove the giant spider from the Reaper's bathroom and to claim their reward.

edit Rewards

The rewards for completing Web of Shadows are (Talk to Spider Queen for rewards):

Eek the spider
A Web Cloak
Trick, Scared and Zombie Hand emotes if you did not have them previous to this event.

edit Music

Music tracks unlocked:

Trick or Treat?
Itsy Bitsy....
Poison Dreams

edit Trivia

Eek the Spider can be put in your menagerie.
When talking to Eek the Spider about whether or not you are scared of spiders, saying "Yes, I'm scared of spiders" will result in her in-chat name temporarily changing to "Eek the Eight-Legged Mouse".
Within the first couple of minutes on the log-in confirmation screen, Eek the spider could not be seen and the spider was invisible.
The name of the Halloween event, "Web of Shadows," may be a reference to the Spider-Man video game of the same name, or the Lego Bionicle movie "Web of Shadows."
Around Death's house are grandfather clocks called "death clocks", a possible reference to the fictional death metal band 'Dethklok'.
It is impossible to fail an obstacle on the second floor of the spider maze.
With this quest, Jagex introduced new chat head. It appears when player asks the Spider Queen: "What about me?"
If the player blows a raspberry at Muncher, the dog, he will hit to whatever the player's HP left is. If you have 99 hp left, he will hit a 99 or if you have 50 he will hit a 50. This will 'kill' the player, who reappears in room containing the portal from the Grim Reaper's house. The player does not lose any items. If you are poisned at the time you enter the house, and happen to die, you will respawn back in your respawn point.
If the player dies while in the Grim Reaper's house, they will respawn at the house's entrance.
When walking around with Eek, you will appear to have no shield if you are wearing one. When you walk, your shield will appear.
Eek the Spider and the Halloween Cape can both be stored in the Toy Box of your Costume Room of your POH (Player Owned House).
The character in the banner is wearing the Agile top and legs.
Eek is a female. When released, the player is given a notice saying, "Eek the spider scurries away. You can pick her up again from Diango in Draynor Village."
When walking the spider web, it is possible to walk through air. This happened when you clicked diagonally to the web.
If you look on the world map while in the dungeon it shows no "you are here" arrow but gives a blank map showing lumbridge.
If you try to rest while on an obstacle on the second floor, it says "You can't rest in that form."
Wielding a Toy Kite while navigating the maze causes it to glitch and appear as if it's floating.
Death (Grim Reaper) is rolling a Death rune around the fingers on his left hand.

STORY

Starting:
TFC - 37
The Migrants - 20

War Summary:
TFC and TM stepped inside the portal with TFC outnumbering TM 2:1. TFC expected for TM
to pull the same numbers as us on this war but shamefully it didn't
happen. The clash of the 2 clans began and both knocking their targets
at the same time but TFC ko power was stronger than TM's and TFC trying to get the gap as high as possible. 10 minutes into the fight, TFC took it's gap to 2:1 kills of TM. TFC didn't look back from their and keeping the gap to 2:1. As the gap widens TFC decided to split into 2 group pilse for fun hehe and it was fun. About 10 mins after splitting into 2 piles TFC's ko power lessen and with TM catching up. TFC
made regrouped @ nw arena to go for a single pile again. This time the
ko power was back and making the gap to 2:1 kills again. As TM didn't pull their numbers like the fight in PvP, TFC didn't get to unleash their beast within them to see if we can perform well with them. Thanks for the fight TM

Ending Kills:
TFC - 110
The Migrants - 63

ALL TM MEMBERS!! change ur name and PUT "TM" first before ur NAME ok!!!

► 01-Oct-2009 - Display Names

2009-10-01T17:40:00.001-07:00

Members are now able to change their display name to something different from their username. This display name is the name by which other players will see you in all Jagex games and across all website features – from the hiscores to the forums. Your username will always remain the same, regardless of what you change your display name to, as this is what you use to log into the game and website. (NB: Everyone’s initial display name is the same as their username.)

Changing your display name
The ability to change display names is currently only available to members of either RuneScape or FunOrb. To change your display name, visit the Account Management section of RuneScape or FunOrb and select ‘Change your display name’. You can then change your display name to anything that is not currently in use by or ‘held’ for (see next paragraph) another player. (NB: Once you have changed your display name, you will be unable to do so again for 28 days, even to revert back to your previous display name, so make sure you are happy with your new name before confirming the change.)

After these 28 days, you will have a period of time in which you can revert back to your previous display name, should you wish. You will have at least 7 days after the 28 days to revert to your previous display name, as it will be ‘held’ for you and unavailable to anyone else in this time. Depending on how long that name was in your possession before you changed it, you may have more than 7 days to revert to your reserved name.

When you change your display name, an icon will appear next to it on your friends’ Friends Lists. This will inform your friends that you have just changed your name and, by hovering their mouse cursor over that icon, they will see what your previous display name was. It will take a while (up to 15 minutes) for your display name to be updated across the website, so your previous display name may still show on the hiscores or forums for this short time.

Offensive display names
Display names allow us to remove names we deem offensive. Previously, we were only able to ban accounts with offensive names; now, we will simply remove the offensive name from the account. Should this happen, you will receive a temporary display name in the form of a random string of numbers (such as “[#123456789]”), and you will not be able to log into the game until you choose a new name. Players who repeatedly choose offensive names will lose the privilege of being able to change their display name for one year, and will instead be assigned one by a Jagex moderator.

Finally, please be patient with the system at this time, as it will be under a lot of load by many players trying to access it. If you do not get a response, please try again at a later time.

► Clan of Bathala or C0fb Clan is closing

2009-09-17T17:53:00.000-07:00

eto ang last speech ni boss dirck41 sa mga members nya.. masyadong mahaba at english ang kanyang mga sinabi..bleed nose tuloy ako. haayyzz.. wala po bang tagalog version nito boss dirck??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To all CoB Clanmates and Friends,

I am writing this message in behalf of the CoB Management Team to let all of you know about the decision we have made concerning the verdict of the CoB clan and I apologize to those who haven't been given a heads up by the time this decision was made. But before that..

I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication for this clan that it is impossible for me to get to see you all with the difference in our timezones and my hectic schedule. I truly am humbled to have fought alongside with such a group of comrades to defend the glory of this clan (and for the past clans that we've been together) and I am so proud of the achievements that everyone of you have accomplished both in the clan's operation and (for quite a lot of you) for your own personal accomplishments.

To those who have been and those who have acted as team leaders on my absence, the efforts and contributions have been outstanding.

I have learnt so much within my time of managing and keeping this clan stay on its feet and now possess a greater understanding of the difficulties that most of you encounter. To those of you that I had the opportunity to assist and or set goals for, I commend each of you for your achievements and hope that you continue to succeed not only through your RS life but also in your real life journeys.

I know it's unfair, especially to those who have been loyal to this clan that are still supporting and those who have just joined. The CoB clan has had it's prime and I feel bad for those who didn't get to be a part of it. Due to some circumstances that occured, we realized that CoB has reached its limit. Therefore, it is about time we end this clan for good. Many thanks to all who have been a friend and who have been supportive of the Children of Bathala clan in the long run. It is very much appreciated.

We now declare the end of CoB and leave without any regrets and with a great confidence in the people who have been a part of it, knowing that they are capable of overcoming any hurdles that will come up, singularly, and more importantly, together. We have managed to assemble a competent and practical clan (that some regard of as their second family) that provide good support to each other. This provides me with a sense of pride and gratitude that is indescribable.

Thanks, regards and best wishes,
Dirck41 and Team

11th September 2009 - Machinima Competition Results

Before I get to the opening of any golden envelopes, allow me to go misty eyed for a moment while I reminisce...

Tehnoobshow helped us in launching this competition on our YouTube channel. It wasn’t long before it became clear that August would involve a lot of pizza, popcorn, salami, beer, buffering and general YouTubery.

I can honestly say that I witnessed pure player genius. We laughed so hard we cried (sometimes, I just cried), but, all things told, we were blown away by both the quality and quantity of player videos, which left the judges with the very difficult task of trying to shortlist the submissions. Their mission was to choose their favourite five videos to go into a player polls. They really struggled to reduce the list to six finalists, given the awesome list of videos that were submitted.

The poll has now closed, the judges are hopefully speaking to each other again, and we now know who our grand prize winner and runners-up are. Ladies and gentlemen (and trolls): the winner of the RuneScape machinima competition is...Excl!

Congratulations to Excl, whose video really captured the trauma that so many video makers went through during this competition. Excl wins some signed Jagex goodies, a lifetime RuneScape membership, and an all-expenses-paid trip to Jagex Games Studios! So, pack your bags and dig out your passport, Excl – you’re coming to visit us!

That leaves Arrow gun 99, Bumbum007, Jinsr44, KKcomics and MommaKitty as runners-up. They each win signed Jagex goodies and a lifetime RuneScape membership, so a big congratulations to them too!

We’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who entered and made the competition the event it was. Congratulations, everyone, you truly raised the bar for RuneScape machinima. =) Please do subscribe to our YouTube channel and keep sending us your RuneScape videos!

We’ve got plenty more competitions up our sleeves, but we’ll save the details for the next Community Management blog.

Finally, in the spirit of inviting players to party with us, we’re also asking Excl and a handful of the top players (both free and members) to also join us at our next Studio Jolly later this month.

Take care and have fun!

CEO, Jagex

► Ang tula ni Joey De Leon para kay Willie Villame

2009-09-13T02:10:00.000-07:00

Wala na sa piling ng mga Pilipino,
Tinig ng awiting Mga Kababayan Ko,
At lumisan na rin noong isang Sabado,
Inang nagpalipad sa awiting Bayan Ko.
Ako’y sumasaludo, paalam Pangulo,
May isa ‘kong lihim, kay tagal itinago,
Sa lahat nang inabot kong mga namuno,
Tanging ikaw lang sa luha ko’y nagpatulo.

Marami ang nalungkot sa iyong pagyao,
Magalang ang lahat at puno ng respeto,
Nagpasalamat pa nga Kapamilya sa ‘yo,
Dahil kanilang himpilan naibalik mo.

* * *
Subalit ano itong nabalitaan ko?
Nangyari noong Lunes, a-tres ng Agosto,
Habang inililipat ang mga labi mo,
Ika’y parang nabastos sa isang TV show.

At ang napakasaklap at masakit dito,
Ang nambastos pa’y kapamilya ng anak mo,
Napanood ito ng tao at publiko,
Kakaunti na nga, ngunit lahat nahilo.
Sabi ng TV host na mainit ang ulo
Pagkakita sa video na kanyang kasalo,
“Sandali, meron akong ano… sa’ting ano…
Hindi naman sa ano,” nagkaanu-ano!
Ayon sa Internet, meron pa s’yang nasambit,
“Sana pakitanggal muna ‘yan sa’ting traffic…”
At ‘di maaalis sa iyong pag-iisip,
Ang parada ng patay ang pinaliligpit!
At dagdag pa daw ng naghahari-harian,
“I don’t think na dapat n’yong ipakita iyan…”
Nasaan naman ang paggalang, o nasaan?
Mga sinasabi natin minsa’y pag-ingatan.

At ‘di pa nangimi nang sumunod na araw,
Pinilit pa ring ginawa n’ya ay tama raw,
Mga nakarinig ‘di na nakagalaw
At ayon sa iba sila na la’y napa-wow!

“… Pero ako, totoo ‘ko eh … “, sabi kuno,
Totoo nga at totoo ring walang modo,
Pwede namang sabihin itong pa-sikreto,
Kaya’t wala na rin mga paliwanag mo.
“Kung ganyan, pakita na lang ‘yan!”, ang hamon pa,
Para bang ang prusisyon nila-“lang - lang” lang ba,
Ang pangasiwaan ay pinapili pa n’ya,
Sumunod ang himpilan, nung August 5 wala s’ya.

May mga komentong pwede nang pang-harapan,
“On camera” baga sa TV ang tawag d’yan
At kung sensitibo man ang gustong bitawan,
Pagpasok ng commercial, hintayin mo na lang.

Matutong magbaba muna ng mikropono
At saka idikta lahat ng iyong gusto,
Lagi kang mataas lahat daw takot sa ‘yo,
Ratings lang ang mababa — totoo ba ito?

The breaking news breaks your heart — at ‘yan ang bawi mo,
Nang mahalata mong sumablay ang pasok mo,
Pero sigurado ika’y maa-abswelto,
‘Di ba ikaw rin ang may-ari ng network n’yo?
Nung Hueves nag-apologize sa diario naman,
O, akala ko ba wala kang kasalanan,
Tapos ng angalan, sunod paliwanagan —
COMPLAIN before you EXPLAIN ka na naman!
O ito kaya ay isa na namang “glitch” lang,
Tulad ng “two-zero” ‘di na natin nalaman,
O ito ay maliwanag na kabobohan?
Sa tingin ng marami, mahirap lusutan.

Ang sabi ng iba — istupidong mayabang,
At giit ng iba — istupidong mayaman,
Mayaman man o mayabang ang tiyak diyan,
Napakayaman n’ya sa kaistupiduhan.

Buti pa ang apat na honor guards ni Cory —
Sina Malab, Laguindan, Rodriguez, Cadiente,
Walong oras tumayo sa ulan at viaje,
Ang lahat ay tiniis at walang sinabi.

Samantalang ikaw na may bubong sa ulo,
Komportable ka lang sa malamig na studio,
Nang kapirasong libing sa TV sumalo,
Angal at inis ang sumambulat sa iyo.

Maaari din namang pabayaan na s’ya,
Subalit ang nangyari’y mabigat talaga,
Namayapang pangulo’y huling paalam na,
‘Di mo pa pinagbigyan … hoy, NAG IISA KA!!!

At nais ko lang sabihin at ipagyabang
Sa mahigit na s’yam na libong tanghalian,
Sa limang pangulong sa Bulaga’y dumaan,
Kahit isa wala kaming nilapastangan.

► How not to get banned if you are using RSBOT or other macro programs

2009-09-09T17:20:00.000-07:00

from rsbot.org

After Jagex announced their macro detection update a lot of people were naturally concerned about the future of their account. This post aims to address these issues and provide information on staying safe.

It is not told what systems are used to detect macros in RuneScape. It is very common for computer games to use anti-cheat software like PunkBuster or NProtect. These work by scanning your files and running processes. In essence they are like trojan horse or rootkit viruses, but you legally agree to them when you install or sign-up to the game. World of Warcraft even uses a custom designed mechanism. Since this is an industry standard practice it is safe to assume Jagex also has these advanced and unavoidable checks in place for RuneScape.

Knowing this there is good reason to believe when they say "We have reviewed all the macro programs available, and there are none we cannot detect." This means every bot and macro is unsafe - iBot/Nexus, ****, **********, SRL SCAR, SeedBot, SconBot, RSBot and all private or lesser known ones. Here at RSBot we respect our users by being open and honest, if other cheating communities tell you their bot is undetectable they are lying.

Tips for staying unbanned

Most people agree that cheaters play a major role in the game economy as well as giving Jagex more membership sales. Provided you are a responsible and non-disruptive player there is no reason for your account to be banned, regardless of whether they know you use bots. Here is a helpful guideline:

* Limit yourself to botting for a maximum of 8 hours per day
* Only use reliable scripts that have been well tested, like the ones that come in the official download and SVN
* When trying a new script check back on your computer every few minutes to be sure it is working smoothly
* Play legit from time to time - do a quest, go on PVP worlds and make good posts in the official forums
* Do not start botting on more than one account, especially not low level skillers
* Buy membership with a credit card if you can
* Abide by the other game rules so you do not get black marks for offensive language, item scamming et al.

Frequently asked questions

* Loads of people are saying RSBot got their accounts banned, so is it really safe?
o There are people who have been using RSBot on their main accounts for many months without getting warned or banned. It all depends on how you use the bot - cutting Yews 24/7 is very likely to get you banned, using it responsibly as mentioned earlier will not. RSBot is a very powerful tool and it is easy to get carried away if you do not have self-control. Since we have a large community we have a large number of stupid kids that do not know this. If they got banned it was their fault, not the bots.

* RSBot uses BCEL, other bots use reflection. Which one is better?
o The short answer is BCEL. As explained earlier both methods can be detected by Jagex, so neither one provides advantages in terms of safety. However, reflection is a CPU and memory intensive process. This means most people will find that reflection bots heavily lag their computer. BCEL is a much cleaner method which modifies the low level core of the client, resulting in better performance and less CPU requirement.

* Is it a good idea to try out other bots and macros?
o If you have already used RSBot or another cheating program chances are you have already been flagged. Trying more bots will only add fuel to the fire. If anything you should be toning down your cheating activity, not increasing it. If you plan to move away from RSBot to other ones bear in mind you carry a great risk.

* Will RSBot ever die?
o The beauty of open source is that a project like this can never die. Since RSBot was created there have been contributions by over 20 experienced Java programmers and high quality scripts created by many talented people from the community. Despite the bad news from RuneScape our community continues to grow and has become the centre of RuneScape cheating. We won't go down without a fight :)

► TO ALL RSBOT USERS.. READ

2009-09-02T23:59:00.001-07:00

An update will be ready by the 10^th September, the new applet and engine has little effect on the bot. Please wait patiently and do not post about it.

loooll

-------------------
by anonymous:!!!

There will be a massive ban, I'm not sure if its on that update but there will be one soon. Apparently jagex is trying to find out a way they can find non Rs website clients. So just like Aryan, there will be a massive ban soon. Unless RSBot 2 comes out soon, none of us will be able to bot without getting banned. Btw, when the update comes out and you turn out to be banned when you log in, DO NOT APPEAL AS SOON AS YOU SEE YOU'RE BANNED, THEY'LL PROBABLY AUTO BAN EVERYONE APPEALING FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER UPDATE.

► 2nd September 2009 - RuneTek 5 Game Engine

2009-09-02T17:24:00.000-07:00

This week sees the release of a massive upgrade to several elements of the RuneScape game engine. These include the RuneTek 5 graphics upgrade described in last week’s developer blog as well as key parts of the game server and RuneScript systems.

The graphics engine update brings with it a complete revamp of the Standard Detail option, bringing resizable window (for everyone) and fullscreen (members only) modes, as well as optional new features that include:

* Distance fogging and sky colour.
* Ground blending and path smoothing.
* Underwater visibility.

We've also improved High Detail mode with shadowing across all world levels (if your computer can support it) and an improved minimap in both versions. You'll also be pleased to know this upgrade has allowed us to fix several long-standing bugs, including:

* Mis-clicking in heavy load areas (such as the Grand Exchange) causing unwanted actions.
* Progress bars on Grand Exchange interfaces not working on several graphics cards.

Less visibly, we've also taken the time to heavily update parts of the server action and scripting systems. This follows on from work we did earlier in the year which Andrew described in this blog. The aim behind this batch of changes was to try to make the timing of actions more consistent across the game, which will help to make future content bugs less likely. We have done weeks of additional testing on these server updates, however, they are quite extensive and incredibly wide-ranging, so if any bugs have managed to slip through the net, we encourage you to submit a bug report.

All told, we have written or re-written around 50,000 lines of the game engine over the last few months to really improve these key areas and allow us to create a whole new set of exciting upgrades over the coming months and years.

This update to the game engine has allowed us to pull both the SD and HD versions of the game into the same applet. As such, we have updated the home page of the website so there is now only one ‘Click here to play’ button. If you wish to switch between using free or member worlds, this can be done using the ‘World Select’ feature, which can be found on the game applet's main menu.

Whether you see an advert above the login screen or not is dependent on whether the last world that you logged in was a free or a members’ world.

Mod Chris E
Game Engine

In other news...

One thing the new engine has allowed us to do is create context-sensitive cursors. If you choose to turn this option on in the Game Options menu, your mouse cursor will display a small icon of the default interaction with any object, location or NPC – e.g. “Open Door” will change your mouse cursor to an icon of a door opening. These cursors have not been added for every default interaction just yet, but we will be looking to expand upon them in future.

The Special Attack bar in the combat interface now also displays the amount of special attack energy you have remaining as a percentage.

We’ve made some changes to the World Select page. Firstly, you’ll notice we’ve removed some of the information to clean it up a bit. The Quick Chat and PvP columns have moved into the more general ‘Activity/Location’ column. This column will now only specify a flag and country if the world doesn’t have a theme, and we’ve created a RuneScape flag to go with the latter. On the right-hand side you’ll notice a ‘Ping’ column. This displays the response time between you and the servers – lower is better, so this should help you find a lag-free word near you. Note that some of your preferences may have changed if you were previously sorting by some of the removed columns. Simply select your new preferred choice(s) and it will store those for next time.

Mobilising Armies themed worlds now come in two varieties: worlds where games require four players for a game to start, and worlds where games require 20 players to start. Visit the Themed Worlds page to see how many players are required to start a game on each world.

► Crimson Raiders Defeat Eternal Honor, PvP 6 Day Prep Pkri

2009-08-31T18:34:00.000-07:00

POSTED BY: Tj040 clan of Crimson Raiders

On Sunday Eh came to us asking for a 5 hour cap war and they didn't seem to think we'd expect, and not surprisingly to us, we did, since we were going to ask. So the prep's started and from the start we had a better signup than Eh so hopes were high, but we knew that Eh had better organization so we had to be ready. We practiced well over the week and we knew Eh would not end especially after their performance with Cor.

The war started and in about 20 minutes (I wasn't there at this point, what I heard). Eh's pile began to weaken and Cr's was strong, probably due to the numbers, but it was stronger. About an hour into the fight Eh came even and for 45 minutes Eh had the lead or it was tied. Then Cr's lates began to arrive and it was game over. Around the two hour mark Cr's numbered went over 75 and Eh below 60 (vent wise). At our peak we were at 85. So the pressure with our 10 snipers went on hard and our main pile did work on them keeping Eh below 100 options from the 2.5 to 4.5 hour mark.

The last 30 minutes it became almost even with Eh's vent going from 56 to 69 in the last 30 minutes and so it became tough. Our trial's we took off the lineup and our main guys stepped up and kept it together. Time ended at 10 past 9 east and both clans took ending.

Cr Start: 220 (83 On Vent)
Eh start: 180

Cr End: 210
Eh End: 174

^ Cr End

^ Eh End

^ Lol.

Let's keep the topic clean, both clans saw each other clan at up and down points and it was a fun fight. Keep it clean and keep no grudges, especially to have rematchs in the future since it was a great fight.

12 kills - 24 Deaths

Thanks for the Ac's Cor, Tr, and I think Eos.

► 21st August 2009 - The FunOrb Digest

2009-08-23T17:03:00.002-07:00

Since we announced Armies of Gielinor back in January, there have been a number of updates to our sister site, FunOrb. This includes Kickabout League: a fast-paced, arcade-style football (aka soccer) game, with online, real-time multiplayer for up to eight players.

You might not think a football game could have much in common with a fantasy RPG, but Kickabout League encourages you to gain experience for each of your players, buy trinkets to give them new abilities, customise your team’s look, and even trade them on a Grand Exchange-style online auction system. It can also get quite brutal as you pummel, dodge and foul your way up the highscores to the top of the Diamond Division.

Last week saw the release of Steel Sentinels, in which you pilot hulking mechs in frantic multiplayer battles with up to twelve players. The game also features an extensive single-player campaign mode that gives you access to twelve classes of sentinel, including the flight-capable Hurricane-class and the devastating Valhalla-class. Each sentinel can be fully customised and armed with an array of lethal weapons, including guns, rockets, missiles, lasers, plasma launchers, lightning beamers and others even more destructive.

Armies of Gielinor has seen a few updates in that time, too. There are now team games for up to eight players (with team chat); some well-known RuneScape items (e.g. rune armour and rings of life) to boost the effectiveness of your army; a prestige system to show off how skilled you are; plus a host of other tweaks and improvements. The FunOrb team is currently hard at work on a single-player campaign mode.

Then there’s Virogrid, a spiritual successor to the old Jagex game Slime Wars, plus updates to Zombie Dawn (a batch of levels set in the UK), Zombie Dawn Multiplayer (new maps, including a competition winner’s design), Miner Disturbance (a Super Volcano), Brick-a-Brac (new levels) and Escape Vector (new game modes).

Finally, we’ve recently published the results of the FunOrb Q&A session on the FunOrb forums. Click here to read the initial answers and live Q&A.

You can head on over to the FunOrb website to play the above games, and many more, for free, using your RuneScape login details.

► 18th August 2009 - Menagerie, Familiar Controls and Butlers

2009-08-23T17:02:00.001-07:00

First off, all combat familiars will now follow you into a fight much more promptly. We’ve also updated the Summoning status globe (the button near the minimap) so that you can configure what happens when you left-click on it. One of the many options will allow you to send your familiar into action against an NPC (or another player on a PvP World) with just one quick click.

If you want a place to keep your pets, you can now do this with a new room for Construction - the menagerie. It’s a pet-owned house to complement your player-owned one, if you will, in which you can store a number of fully grown pets of any kind. You could create a haven for all three god birds, for instance, or build your very own little dragons’ den.

While we’re on the subject of houses, your butler has learned when it’s time to talk and when it’s time to get on with it. So, when you are training and need the same materials you just used, you won’t need to explain what you’re after. If they come back from the bank with logs, you can send them straight to the sawmill. And if the butler’s payment is due and you don’t have any money on you, they can fetch it from your bank the next time you send them there. They also follow you around unless told otherwise. Other features include a ‘Make-x’ option for flatpack furniture and teleport tablets, and some options for the Teleport to House spell. You can set the spell to deposit you outside your house’s portal or into your house (with building mode switched on or off). More details for these updates can be found on the Knowledge Base.

In other news...

All longswords, as well as the rune and dragon scimitars, have received a slight graphical adjustment, as well as having their inventory icons modified to match.

In a similiar fashion to Soul Wars and the Fishing Trawler minigames, we've added an activity bar to the Great Orb Project. As expected, your activity is maintained when contributing, but if the bar drops too low you'll be removed from the game.

► 18th August 2009 - Mobilising Armies Polish

2009-08-23T17:01:00.000-07:00

Since the release of Mobilising Armies, we’ve been in-game and scanning the forums to see what has worked well and what hasn’t. As can be expected from a project of this complexity, some things didn’t quite pan out how we intended. So, we’ve made a few amendments that we hope will create a better gaming experience:

The Conflict scenario has changed from 4-player to 2-player
The idea of the Conflict scenario was for players to consider a variety of tactics and to really engage in an all-out battle to the death. There turned out to be one unwanted and dominant tactic, however: wait for the other teams to beat each other up, then join in later when you have the advantage. Although you could argue this was a legitimate tactic, we didn’t feel that doing nothing for a few minutes was any fun. We considered a great many options to fix this, but decided to change this scenario (and only this scenario) to make it 1 versus 1.

Squad levels removed
Mobilising Armies was built with five levels of squad that you could purchase as your Rank increased, which allowed larger amounts of reward credits. The issue with this was that it led to far too many waiting rooms (4 scenarios x 5 ranks = 20 rooms) and, with each room requiring 20 players, we needed 20 x 20 players for a game to start in each room. Even if games started more quickly, there would not be enough players available, so to simplify the waiting rooms, we have changed it so only one level of squad is available. If you previously had higher-level squads in your inventory or bank, you will find them gone and your credits reimbursed as investment credits. This will hopefully make it easier for people to experience all four scenarios.

Waiting room system improved and five simultaneous games
Twenty players are required for a game of Mobilising Armies to start, and, when a player doesn't get picked, they get an increased priority for the next game. Originally, only four out of those twenty players were picked to join a game at a time, but we improved this a little while back so that three games started at any one time. This was only a temporary fix, so five games will now start simultaneously, as soon as there are enough players.

Selling reward items back
When buying rewards, many players felt the best idea was to save up their reward points until they had increased their Rank and unlocked the best rewards, neglecting the earlier rewards. We want you to make use of the lower-level rewards, so you can now sell reward items back to the reward shops in the officers' tower for 100% of their initial cost. This should encourage you to buy the rewards as and when you can afford them, since you can upgrade them at no extra cost. The only exceptions to this are the resource locators and quest kits (which remain a partial trade-in), and spoils of war.

► 11th August 2009 - RuneScape Machinima Competition

2009-08-11T17:46:00.000-07:00

Did you know that “RuneScape” is one of the top five terms searched for on YouTube? As such, we like to check out the latest films made by the many RuneScape movie boffins out there. They’re so good, in fact, that we’ve teamed up with one of RuneScape’s most talented machinima (films made with game engines) masterminds, TehNoobShow, to launch a competition to seek out the most entertaining player-made RuneScape video known to humankind. The rules are simple: create an original video short (around two minutes) that’s both entertaining and creative, in the RuneScape game.

The competition launches today, and you have until the closing date of 25th August to submit your videos on the YouTube website. When the entries are in, Andrew, Mark Gerhard and some video-hungry members of the Community Management team will then shortlist five finalists. Those five videos will then feature in a RuneScape weekly poll, allowing the community to choose their favourite.

The video with the most votes will be declared the winner and will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Jagex Games Studio, from wherever they are in the world, and, once here, they will get to meet the developers and creative types that bring RuneScape to life. We’ll then send them off with an armful of signed Jagex goodies. The four runners-up will bag some membership, autographed t-shirts, mugs, mouse mats, mice and other stuff.

Please note that all videos must be made within RuneScape (live action isn’t machinima), and must be submitted via YouTube. We cannot accept entries sent to the Postbag or Gallery email. For a full list of rules and conditions, and to see an example video from TehNoobShow, subscribe to our YouTube page at www.youtube.com/runescape. If you’ve a question about the competition or are looking for some tips on making your own video, check out this forum thread. We can’t wait to start checking out the contents of your creative brains.

2009-08-10T17:27:00.000-07:00

The Odd Old Man is again in need of a hand, but this time it’s not all going to be about bones. Apparently, he has new needs that will require adventurers to seek the hides, pelts and skins of creatures commonly found in the Fremennik Province.

Players will be able to allow the Odd Old Man to take his plan fur-ther. More experienced players will then be able to help him the rest of the way, getting extra rewards and uncovering the truth behind one of RuneScape’s most guarded secrets – just what is in that mumbling bonesack?

Where to start Fur 'n' Seek:

Speak to the Odd Old Man near his shack between Varrock and Paterdomus.

Requirements to complete Fur 'n' Seek:

► Knights Of Order Defeat Eternal Reign, 3 hour fight.

2009-08-03T17:31:00.000-07:00

POSTED BY Aoshi153 of Knights of Order

ER came to us searching for a PKRI and we accepted without much hesistation because they had plenty of people that disliked us. With this oppurtunity we wished to destroy and shut their mouths for good. ER had 55 members when they declared and grew to 65 in about a day. Our spy got ahold of their sign ups and they had about 50ish yeses with not a single person saying that they weren't able to attend. With this information we pumped the fight even more and did our best to dominate the fight from start to finish.

ER pulled less than us, which made us confident that the victory was in our grasp because we expected 150+ from them. It was evident that KO dominated the battlefield with swift ko's, strong spam towers, and great binds. ER was left to regroup in the first 15 mins and this continued throughout the entire fight. The last hour and a half consisted of ER regrouping with 30 opts in an attempt to outlast us. There was also an instance where they regrouped on another world...Regardless, their leaders finally gave in and called off returning leaving KO victorious.

Starting:
KO - 138

ER - 135 (according to turk)

Ending:
KO - 129

ER - Walked out with 15 opts.

Thanks for the fight and I apologize for any flames, but we were really into the intense and epic battle. THANKS FOR THE AC, EH!!!!!

► 28th July 2009 - Poison Arrow Pub and Aquanite

2009-07-28T17:41:00.001-07:00

From time to time, we like to open up a forum thread to give you, the players, the chance to come up with specific ideas to add to the game. We then put our favourite ideas into a poll and let the community vote for their favourite. This time, it was to name and fill the vacant pub in Ardougne, and to name a new Slayer creature.

This isn’t because we run out of ideas – far from it! - it’s so you get a chance to genuinely contribute to the content in the game. Of course, we read as many suggestions as we can every day, but running forum threads, discussing your suggestions and knowing that there would be a definite result at the end of the work is a great way to add content to the game.

So, this month, we’re delighted to add the Poison Arrow pub to Ardougne and the aquanite Slayer creature. The pub is just south of Ardougne’s east bank and is filled with a host of suggestions that all came from you! The aquanite is a level 78 Slayer creature that deals magic damage, so do take care if you’re going to visit. You’ll find them at the end of the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon, past the kurasks – you can’t miss them.

► 28th July 2009 - Animation Pack 1

2009-07-28T17:40:00.000-07:00

Recent additions to the RuneScape engine have allowed us to make some improvements to the game’s animations.

As you can see by the heading, this release is called Animation Pack 1, as this will be an ongoing project. These improvements will take time, however, so we have grouped the animations that we're improving into packs, so we can release them as we complete them, rather than keeping you waiting.

This pack focuses on some of the most popular melee weapons and their animations (abyssal whip, the godswords, Zamorakian spear, Saradomin sword, Dharok’s axe, and dragon and rune longswords and scimitars), tweening (animation smoothing), and updates to the Agility animations.

We hope you enjoy these updates as much as we've enjoyed creating them; make sure to keep an eye out for future animation updates.

For a more in-depth look at these improvements, check out this recent dev blog. It takes you through the process in more detail.

► 21st July 2009 - The Curse of Arrav

2009-07-21T18:07:00.001-07:00

In your adventures you may have heard of an unusual gathering in the north - a gathering of powerful and dangerous creatures called the Mahjarrat. Ali the Wise has received news from one of his contacts of a tunnel underneath the area where the Mahjarrat are supposedly gathering. It’s not a natural cave, either: someone deliberately made it. But who? What connection did they have to the Mahjarrat now gathering above? Have they left any clues behind? Some exploring may be in order!

This quest is a continuation of the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest series. It’s also a sequel to a previous quest I wrote - Defender of Varrock. I’m glad that I got to expand on some of the themes I started in the previous Arrav-based quest. There is more to come, though…

► Divine Forces Versus Runescape Dinasty - P2p Fight, ~1.5 Hour Deep Wildy P2P Fight.

2009-07-20T17:53:00.000-07:00

POSTED BY XshinobizX CLAN OF Divine Forces

We had a Pktrip going led by Tacoman55/Dennisnator0 & many other DF that was not mandatory (around 60 options) and we heard RSD was out so we went to Membergates & called more DF. We did not make it mandatory until RSD rushed because we did not know if they were really rushing us or not. At about 10:20 PM EST, RSD rushed us into our 90 options at Membergates. The fight started out pretty balanced. I admit RSD had a good start but we picked it up & the fight wasn't looking to end anytime soon until we made one big regroup and started clearing them at East of spiders. We made them go to Greaters. At the Greaters spot, they started hitting anyone who came near them and took a large regroup. So we just rushed there but as time went on, we weren't realizing that they were barraging us with all of their mages. However we easily went through that tactic and started camping on their mages. In fact I know one of their mages got around 23 deaths which is quite high for a 90ish minutes fight if I'm honest.

While we were taking over Greaters, RSD numbers weren't growing while ours were growing just a little bit (barely got a few people the last 30 minutes of the fight). If I'm honest, it was all about Organization. I'm glad we proved RSD that we can easily take them in P2P, once again. Thanks for the fight RSD but I know we both can admit that you could have ended this fight much sooner.

I must thank RoT for ACing our fight. Thanks for repaying us for earlier in the day, we appreciate it.

Divine Forces Starting: ~90 Options
RuneScape Dinasty Starting: ~90 Options (I know they had more but meh I'll keep it like this)

Divine Forces Ending: ~165 Options

Once again, good fight RSD. We performed well DF, have a good night

POSTED BY h0tgun Clan of Eternal Reign

For triforce + other people saying we crashed when we clearly didn't

So after fighting UBH in 15v15 ranged only we decided to go out on a PK trip. Which turned out to be a hard night with many clans all showing up to try to take us down, This wasn't as easy as somepeople might of thought

ER starting 72 Opts (No picture )

We started with clearing some 1 item Triforce kids from Triforce vs Golden sun ( Not crashing hitting 1 itemers watching!) 3x Tried to Hit us but they where unorganised and we made them regroup then Golden Sun decided to hit us so we carried on fighting whoever came our Way 3x returned to make this 2v1 then Triforce came to make it 3v1 but even with the ods stacked against us we managed to clear the battlefield

Some Pictures of clans in single

3x In Single

Triforce in single

In the middle of all this happening VR came to our world and killed a few from both clans but hopped after realising we where in a fight Thanks VR

After a short fight 3v1 All 3 clans left and emerged Illusion to try pick up the peices after a short 10 min fight 3x returned from there single regroup to make it 2v1 once again.

We called Dragonwood to come help they massed up and teamed with us to make it even. Then yet another clan decided to join the fun Shadow elves Rushed us and there was about 5 clans all attacking eachother everybody left after fighting SE alone for about 5 mins we decided to end considering the ML/Opts difference.

ER Ending
15 people + Returners (25~ on vent)

Shame no clan gave us a real 1v1 but thanks to all the clans who showed up to make our night fun! We didn't crash anybody and if we did ill be looking foward to see'ing the proof.

Review:

Illusion starting: 19 (57 options) (Cut from 24 (72 options)
Darkness Awaits starting: 19 (57 options)

We had a decent pull out of our prime timezone. We were disheartened to have to cut 5 people but we were determined to make an impression.

Our newly appointed FI Leader (Wynkster) was taking the reigns for this fight. We rushed in and got a KO right at the start followed by a number of other KO's and decent piles. We were 18-14 after just a few minutes. Great leading by Wynkster, thanks to Horatio for taking over after he was piled.

We had amazing binds, great sniping and superb antisniping. Big respect to Wynkster, Davyboy and Snoogans for some legendary tanking which handed us the win.

Thanks for the fight DA, looking forward to facing you again in the future.

► The Blacknights Vs Gladiatorz, Blast from the past :#!!! (Uncapped Pkri)

2009-07-17T19:43:00.000-07:00

POSTED BY Paul18243 CLAN OF Blacknights

Blacknights vs Gladiatorz

I heard word that Gladz was pking in world 32 around Bh. Knowing this is close to a once a year opportunity, Bk called a muster and left with 45 options to seek Gladz. The history between both Bk and Gladz made the fight extremely important to both of us. Knowing upon this, we expected a great long fight. Both Bk and Gladz haven't had this kind of fight in nearly 2 years and after agreeing to the terms of the fight, the pkri began at around 6:08 pm est.

Blacknights starting- 54 options

Gladz starting- 80+ options

At the start of the fight going in outnumbered, Bk had to rely on our hybrids and ko opportunities to be able to maintain pace with Gladz. As this happened we quickly matched Gladz and at this point of the fight we were at every pace with them as both Bk and Gladz had similar options in their main piles.

At around 45 mintues into the fight our main pile began to get heavily sniped by 5-8 people, knowing this was going to hurt us without retaliation, we sent 4 snipers over to match the damage that we were getting sniped. This gave us the chance to recover and once again keep up with Gladz (still being out numbered). This portion of the fight was the most intense as both piles collided several times and pile after pile both clans were hungry to prove who was better. This kind of fight lasted the last 3 quarters of the fight as there was no clue who was going to pull off with the victory. To our benefit our members began to return with binds taking over the fight very quickly. This was a big change of events and quickly the snipers Gladz sent began to disappear 1 by 1. There was only thing left to do, and was finish off Gladz' main pile immediately. In great pride we finished Gladz off at around 1 and half ours of brutal fighting, The Blacknights pulled off with one of the greatest victories we have had in a while.

Bk ending-

Gladz ending-

I am greatly proud to all of the Bk members that were here today showing great pride for Bk and thank you for the fight Gladz and huge props to 'The' Clan for an excellent ac.

► 17th July 2009 - Worlds Down

2009-07-17T18:31:00.002-07:00

ear players,

We'd like to sincerely apologise for the fact that some of our worlds are offline. We have been forced to take them offline due to a problem at one of our ISPs, Navisite.

The worlds affected:
4, 5, 7-9, 13-14, 17, 19, 21-22, 26-30, 37, 42, 47-48, 56, 62, 64, 70, 72, 100, 113.

We are informed that the problem is caused by the ISP's routers being overloaded. It is not a problem with our own systems, or with us having inadequate bandwidth.

Unfortunately, because the problem is caused by limitations of a 3rd party's systems, as opposed to our own, it's out of our control.

We are however working really hard to bring these worlds back online by making use of our other data centres around the world. We are also looking for a more permanent solution, which will probably involve switching to a different ISP. Once again, our sincerest apologies for this disruption.

► 17th July 2009 - Bounty Worlds (+1 Item

2009-07-17T18:31:00.001-07:00

With the recent disabling of Protect Item prayers on PvP Worlds, a lot of players feel that we had rendered their high-value weapons (godswords and dragon claws, in particular) worthless. While no changes had been made to the weapons themselves, the amount of wealth you had to risk in order to use those weapons was considered prohibitively high.

We obviously don’t want you to feel like your investment is wasted; we appreciate how much work some of you have put into getting those items! But, we also don’t want to undo changes that we feel are good for PKing as whole.

So, we’ve come up with a way of hopefully achieving both goals. Today we are introducing a new type of Bounty World. These ‘+1 item’ worlds still won’t allow you to use the Protect Item prayer, but, instead, everyone will always keep their most valuable item protected.

On these worlds, to gain drop potential you (as usual) have to be risking 75k (or 25k on a free world). Because you always keep your most valuable item on these worlds, this means you have to risk 75k of items in ADDITION to your always-protected item.

This has the following advantages:

a) It still achieves our original intentions of making it harder to gain drop potential and participate in rewarding combat without actually really risking something;

b) It stops high-value weapons being made worthless and still maintains that type of gameplay for people who enjoy it;

c) Conversely, people who feel the new, more powerful weapons unbalanced PKing, without any risk to the wielder, have a different type of world that they can enjoy too.

NOTE - Our ISP issues have meant that world 32, the planned +1 item Bounty World for free players, is not currently available. We sincerely apologise and hope to get this world back online as soon as possible.

► Dks Day Out, Based on a true story. Featuring DF SE VR TPH + MORE

2009-07-16T19:29:00.000-07:00

POSTED BY Ktv5968 CLAN OF DK

(written by Bloodarrow42)

It was a dark day in the world of RuneScape, as I woke up for my last day of playing RunEscape before going on vacation, members were anxiously waiting for a Player Killing trip, so we quickly gathered up on server 32, after about 10 minutes, we quickly head out, to hit a newly formed alliance who call themselves Tp. (Basically a bunch of teams collided together who can pull 399 opts) We had caught Tp off guard, our 30 options of DK members spent our time chasing Tp all over the wilderness, made them hop, and continued to harass them and steal their rune until we had to gather for our official pk trip.

Dk starting: 30 opts
Ph starting: 120?
----------------------------
Dk Ending: 100 opts
Ph Ending: 12 opts of 90s

After washing our scimitars from the leftover blood of Tp, we waited for more clan mates to arrive for our official pk, our African American leader Derek had led us to Moss Giants where we met up with The Infamous Ktv5968, a legendary west coast rapper and thug. FRom here we started listening to Black people Music. The crowd went crazy, and the spirits were high, and so were we.

We hopped a couple servers looking for action, eventually we received intel that VR had been out and heading our war. Derek commanded DK to stand East Gds, as we waited for Violent Resolution to rush us. Immediately as they rushed, the battle began, bodies had dropped to the floor all over, and blood was flooding the battlefield. The fight commenced for maybe around an hour, and in between, Tp had wanted payback for us chasing them out of the wilderness. Multiple times Vr had helped clear Tp, and we thank you for doing so. The first half we had probably controlled the fight, and slowly Vr evened it out, near the end Vr took a slight advantage, and TP thought it'd be cool to kill our returners. VR AND DK both aced the fight while in intense combat with eachother.

The immense ownage that burst from this fight caused W32 to quake and rumble. The Grounds of RuneScape could not handle all the killing returning and intense ownage that DK and VR were fighting eachother with. Intel reports that World 32 spoke out and begged for DK and VR to stop the fight. BUT WE DIDNT. THe pain was so immense that the server for world 32 began to shut itself off. (The ownage was so overwhelming it caused a chain reaction that caused all US servers to crash, and it eventually reached out into Germany and France.)

The world was about to collapse and in a desperate attempt to save it DK decided to end.
Congrats to VR for the Win. Was a good fight.

Dk Starting: 180 opts
Vr Starting: 120 opts?
----------------------------
Dk Ending: 210+ Opts
Vr Ending: 190 opts?

After shocks were felt all over as millions of warriors had disconnected from battle. Even other no namer rainbow clans that were pking like the Divine Forces felt the quake and had to end there fight with the Great Shadow Elves

Today was a day that showed what happens when 2 unstoppable forces like DK and VR go head to head. Chaos.

Good fight All Clans, personally had like 10 kills, 4 assists, 0 deaths.

POSTED BY Final_Nova CLan of New Age Assassins

-±†-NEW AGE ASSASSINS-†±- [110+]

Tonight we decided to mass up and originally the plan was to do some Luring, we we had mostly mages and rangers:

The Red box around the screen is hypercam, we should have vid out soon.

Anyways, we started in w137, Luring was pretty simple:

We came across Relentless Corruption, a 110+ clan.

Within seconds their team was wiped out by our barrage piles. The rest that were with them scattered and managed to flee.

We went back to the area and started to relure, we dragged up a clan which then got rushed by ROT in the back. We barraged but ROTs numbers were far too great and we were overrun. Managing to withdraw while only losing a few people, we regrouped at the wilderness volcano. Although we had taken some losses, our barrage pile might have managed to get us with even losses, but still we were defeated.

After the regroup we decided to move around a bit instead of luring. We came across a few small teams, but none of whihc matched our numbers and were quickly defeated.

During this we hopped to world 86.

We then decided to rush clan wars. We ran forward and into CLW, but no one was there...then B4L teleported in. With a lot of magers and clan wars being single, we decided to run north into multi and dd. Few B4L followed us...

Then we heard some of them were at the west side, we rushed around and the fight started:

B4L hugged single, we stayed in multi and a few NAA attempted to lure them out. We sustained a few casualties doin this, but managed to kill the few of them that dared to leave single for more than a split second. By this point we had around 25 with the numbers falling as we had by this time been out for a few hours.

After leaving, because being attacked from multi gets boring after a while of doing it and its pretty sad, we remassed at wilderness volcano and decided to mass telepot to fallador, we rushed in and killed a few small teams and decided to call it a night.

► 15th July 2009 - Faruq's Tools for Games

2009-07-15T17:19:00.002-07:00

Knowing that many of RuneScape's adventurers sometimes like to kick back and enjoy time with their friends and clan-mates, Al Kharid's newest resident, the mysterious entrepreneur Faruq, has brought to market a selection of curiosities to help pass the time between grand escapades.

If your clan needs fair ways of making decisions, then Faruq has something for you. If you want to have a race without any cheating or need something to mark the route, he can help. Whether you’re planning a scavenger hunt, a race, a seeking game or any kind of adventure within the adventure, Faruq asks only that you look at his wares, because he might have just what you need.

To peruse Faruq’s Tools for Games, check out the stall he has set up next to Ali Morrisane in Al Kharid market.

This is an unusual update for us, because, unlike just about everything else in RuneScape, we haven’t planned out what you should do with it. During development, we thought of things you could do, of course, but I’m eager to see what else you can come up with yourselves.

To make the tools, we sought suggestions from the forums, fan sites and various corners of Jagex. It all helped shape the project, and some of the players who made suggestions when the developer blog went out should find certain objects very familiar: congratulations on making your mark on the game!

► 15th July 2009 - PvP World Changes

2009-07-15T17:19:00.001-07:00

Players who enter a PvP or Bounty World will now automatically become skulled and unable to use the Protect Item prayer. The skull will not disappear over time or when a player dies, unless they go to a non-PvP world, in which case the skull behaves like normal. Note that this means you will always lose everything you are carrying if you get killed by another player, and that there is no way for you to keep any items on death while in a PvP or Bounty World.

Additionally, on members’ worlds, your victims must now lose at least 75,000 coins’ worth of items (increased from 25,000) for your earning potential to be applied to the drop. On free-to-play worlds, the amount the victim must lose remains at 25,000 coins.

Please note that you will have to be in a safe area before you can next log into a PvP or Bounty World. You will need to log into a non-PvP/Bounty World in order to move to a safe area. This is to ensure nobody logs in risking more than they are aware of. A message will explain this on login if you try to enter these worlds. This only applies to your next PvP/Bounty World login; from then on, you will be able to log in as normal.

When Brogan first built Mobilising Armies, his squads were entirely human; yet, as anyone who's played our latest minigame will know, only elves, goblins and dwarves are available to a budding commander.

The latest entry in the Lores and Histories brings together three entries from Brogan's journal, each looking at how humans were edged out of the command centre, and why Brogan embraced the use of elvish, goblin and dwarven troops.

► Wg's Night Out ( Lordship Loses Control ), Featuring Distortion, Wicked Fury, TNC + Others

2009-07-14T19:04:00.000-07:00

POSTED BY Darkzero101 CLAN OF Wilderness Guardians

Following our victory last night against Distortion, we decided to continue on our winning streak.

We massed for a short preparation raid, and went out with about 14 people.
There were two or three non-WG with us.

We then picked up to about 17 people before our first fight.

We fought many clans so forgive me if there are small mix-ups.

Oh before we got into our first fight we stumbled across some DF... not as a clan, probably just friends PKing.

We took town a lot of them and they took down almost as many of us but we started with less people and we had to retreat.

Our first official fight started with...

The Cluster

We went to CWA where we found Wicked Fury... and pushed them back.

We pushed them into CWA but then DF came from the North and flanked us. We fought them off and we both took massive hits.

Then Distortion came in and we were stranded in CWA... I don't know if Welfarers joined. It is possible.

In any case we had to pull out of the carnage.

We're not claiming a win for this cluster. Just acknowledging it and posting our views on it.

Distortion

Well, since last night, we'd had some beef with Distortion.

They started flaming us on RS, so we didn't want to fight them, as we don't fight clans who disrespect us.

Nonetheless they followed us, and found us east of the Spirit of Summer Ruins.

Distortion Starting:

(Taken a few minutes before)

WG Starting: ~60 options

We saw them walking in from the west so we smashed them without a single death on our side.

Start of the fight as they came in:

And here's the last Distortion member.

Distortion Ending: 0
Wildguard Ending: ~60

____________

After that Distortion wanted a rematch, and again, we told them we wouldn't.
Simply because they were rude to us, not because we were weaker, as we'd just proven.
Unfortunately Distortion got cleaned out by RoT.
Pkay Outlaw agreed to a rematch, so we waited for them at the dwarves and they did not show up.

Ok so it was a bit anticlimactic at that point. We went browsing, hunting for Welfarers, but they kept running into CWA.
We couldn't call it a win.

GK and TNC+Friends

GK came up to us and said they wanted to help us take down TNC.
We declined their offer but there was a little confusion and we ended up killing a few of them.

Anyway, we went up to dwarves, and attacked all the white dots.At this stage we had about 66 options.

As you can see there were others like Ismael, who were also randoms fighting for them.

We cleared the scene, and after that, decided to end following a successful night.
No WG is to flame on this topic, or else be disciplined.

Earlier Team X Approached the leader of Australian Army Edward5010 for a 1 hour cap PvP PKRI, The Rules are as follows :

Gdz-Spiders Bounds
1 hour and 10 Min Mass
NO FRIENDS
Pk Team X Defends
1 Hour Cap
All Styles

After an hour and 10 minutes both sides were ready to start the PKRI, before we started we already had word that AA had brought friends so we were cautious of this effect.

Pk Team X Starting: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9458/13july09083106.jpg

Australian Army Starting: ???

It started with AA rushing us at West Tree with us piling Edward5010 first, after ownage Blast Unit and Range Unit X brought forward it was KO after KO which made AA+Friends end in 10 minutes time, (Appreciated if you didn't bring friends, pics will be posted)

I don't know what to say, i was expecting more from Australian Army but our binding was on song today which gave us the advantage over AA.

After 5 minutes we quickly sent out 2 snipers who did a great job hitting up AA binders and blasters since it was a low option fight, atleast you stuck out their and fought.

After AA were walking down to BH X decided to follow and Round 2 had started at bounty hunter but with AA either running in or being straight KO the fight was over in a flash.

Props for the unfair fight AA, Cya at your future events <3! href="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/47/090713000209.png" target="_blank">http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/47/090713000209.png

POSTED BY pkay outlaw CLAN OF Distortion

The fight began with me approaching Don777 for a war, then we accepted and headed for the rules.

Rules:

No Cap - Till one quits
No 1 item - Or automatic leave
No Bounds

GOD Starting: 141 opts

TNG+TA Starting:

The fight started with GOD defending gdz and TNG rushing from the west, and TA rushing from the east.
We got a swift barrage pile on TA, and half of them scattered, while we were steadily holding off TNG from our west.
The fight was jumped around from newgate to gdz to dwarves. It got down to TNG+TA just hugging single after every rush @ dwarves, and just running off.

The 1 itemers were insane, and were too many to count.

Near the end of just wiping TNG+TA every rush @ dwarves, Rot rushed from the Gap.

Teamed with TNG+TA, but after they accknowledged to just 1 item rot, we left and took ending.

► What monsters in Runescape can drop somewhat decent items and are around my level?

2009-07-13T22:57:00.001-07:00

I am a level 83-90 Runescape player with 66-70 att, 67-70 str, 63-70 def, and 35-40 slayer.

I am looking for decent level monsters that drop somewhat valuable items.

(If there are monster below level 120 that drop decent items please tell me!)

If you could help me I would be grateful.

THIS IS MY ANSWER. any possibe answer too?

Do the flesh crawlers.. they are around lvl 40 and only have 25hp so you could easily 1 hit em if potted or 2 hit if not and also they only have a max hit of 1 so if you have 60+ def you wont need very much food. They are probably the best xp u can get with training combat stats because you are constantly fighting ( i usually get about 50k xp an hour with a strength lvl of 85 ). They are an agressive monster so just turn on auto retaliate and you can afk for about 3-5 mins. For me i usually just watch youtube and check back every 2 mins and pick up loot. Also id like to note that after about 10 mins or so they stop attacking so you need to reset. So go run to the other side, bank or something like that so they become agressive again.

For the loots... They drop about 40-60 fire runes about 75% of the time and herbs all the time including ranarrs, kwuarms, and dwarf weeds which are all 2-8k. They also drop 3-7 noted iron ores alot of the time and 5 nats. Fire runes take along time to sell so make sure u sell them in either worlds 1, 2, or 3 and they should all sell within a week.
I have like 680k fire runes im trying to sell lol.

I train all my accounts there and usually can make between 150-250k per hour there! Good luck and i hope you use this technique.

2009-07-13T22:48:00.000-07:00

i was selling runescape picture WITH A FREE GIFT (and all buyers know the free gift is the account) so i sold runescape pictures and a free gift for $100. what would happen if i recovered the account? it has been 50 some days since the transaction.

Additional Details

lol they cannot take you to court. the only way i could go to court was if for some reason he raised a dispute and paypal or ebay took me(which he can;t because he got what the listing said he would get)

i never specified what the free gift was. i advertized runescape pictures with a free gift. and that is what he got.

► How does members credit work on runescape?

2009-07-13T22:42:00.000-07:00

I am thinking about becoming member on runescape and i was wondering when i log into runescape it says 0. Days of member credit. And how does that work

POSSIBLE ANSWERS
1. You have to buy a month(5$),3 months(22$),half a year(i think 40$), or a year(60$)
i buy the 3 month ones at target so that i don't need to use my mom credit card. i think its easy. but where it says zero when you log in, say you got a month member ship ,well then it will say 30 days, instead of zero and it will count down each of the days until you have 0 again..

► How do runescape gold sites make the trade? How they transfer the Runescape Gold to another Player?

2009-07-13T22:39:00.000-07:00

I am wondering how "Runescape Gold Sellers" on the internet make the trade. They obviously can't drop trade items so how do runescape gold sellers trade the purchased gold/item(s) to buyers runescape account. I am not planning on buying any but i am just curious

Possible Answers

1. They Can't.

Prevously, before the trade limit, you could pay 5 dollars for 1 million gp. With the intorduction of the Trade limit, though, this entire business has died. There are no ways to transfer that amount of Gold with Jagex noticing.

BTW: Today, the trade limit was raised to 5k (previously 3k) and also, Non-members who have 32 Quest Points can now Trade 10k.

2. They will either do what the first person said, which is referred to which is called "junk trading"
Or they store all their money on an account, which they will log into your account, and their account with the money on it, and go to Bounty Hunter, and do the trade in there.
It's very risky.

3. They're going to use trash items, like trade you the money for 1 million needles, but thats the thing, those Gold Trading sites are out of business, they made the trading system very messed up in Runescape....

4. MERON PA BA?? IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE ANSWERS?? LOL. .

► Triforce + 3xtermination Vs Darkness Awaits + Dark Dynasty

2009-07-13T20:00:00.000-07:00

POSTED BY .:Dom:. CLAN OF Triforce

Well earlier in the week I came up with a crazy idea of doing this 2 v 2 battle. So I first ran it by Triforce officials, seeing what they thought. We came to the conclusion it would be fun and lets go for it. So I met up with Venomous(DA), Azncool(DD) and Hutch(3x) to set up the rules.

The rules:
CWA PKRI 2hr cap
Turrets arena
Range/Melee/Binds only
Rings Allowed
No corrupt
Post allowed
Tri + 3x use team 43 cape
DD + DA use team ** cape

We figured we would do CWA, seeing how 4 clans in PvP screams crash us. Plus I wanted this to be geared more as a fun event for all 4 clans, then some serious fight.

Starting for both sides:

I was only there the first ~45 minutes because I had work. The entire time I was there, we had 5-10 members more than them, but the kills were dead even. Phoenix, Red Fat, Blackjack, and King Leif led us to victory though. With us keeping a steady main and sniper pile, D was losing members. Our binders/rangers kept D from tanking us much, and securing us the win!

The ending kills:

I personally had 2 kills, 0 assists, and 1 death. Logged when I had to leave. Was sniping FI leaders hoping they would pile me, but they just wouldn't and I had to go.

Was a very fun fight DD + DA. I knew it would be interesting to do, and I'm glad it worked out. As for 3x, we worked well together, global muting the channel was definalty the best thing we did lmao.

► 10th July 2009 - The Jagex Anti-Hijack System

2009-07-12T23:21:00.001-07:00

While Jagex is a clear industry leader in making our games and infrastructure secure, some of our players’ personal computers have proved vulnerable to account hijacking in the form of viruses, key loggers, phishing websites or players simply revealing their Jagex password. Given these challenges, we are determined that your account remains secure at all times, even if your personal computer has been compromised or somebody else knows your password. We think we have found a solution to these problems: the Jagex security key.

This key looks a bit like a USB dongle, which you will be able to put on your key ring or store in a secure location. The key will reveal a six to eight-digit code that changes every few seconds and is completely unique to you. Type this code into a Jagex login page and you will be able to guarantee that you are secure from any hijacking attempt.

For the techies out there, the key is an ‘Enterprise two-factor authentication solution’. We’re really enthusiastic about its potential to stop hijackers and phishing sites in their tracks, but since this will require significant investment and resources, we aren’t going to make any final decisions without talking to you first. We would like you to head over to the poll system, on the left-hand side of the RuneScape front page, and answer two questions: would you be interested in buying one of these security keys, and what is the most you would be willing to pay?

With the Jagex security key, we would be so confident that your account is secure that we could consider adding expanded bank space to those accounts that are protected by the Jagex security key.

NOTES – it would not be compulsory to buy the security key. It would be an optional means for you to keep your account genuinely secure. The Jagex security key would be available to all countries for a single one-off price. The security key would be available to both free players and members.

While we are enthusiastic about the Jagex security key, there are still a number of variables that could determine whether we can roll this out, ranging from technical challenges and, naturally, players' interest in the device.

Please give us your feedback in the Jagex Store Feedback forum.

Thanks,
Mark Gerhard

► Witch's Potion (F2P Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T20:07:00.000-07:00

Official quest description: Become one with your darker side. Tap into your hidden depths of magical potential by making a potion with the help of Hetty the Rimmington witch.

Release date: 6 April 2001

Start: Talk to Hetty in her house in Rimmington, south of Falador and west of Port Sarim.

Difficulty: *****

Length: Short

Members only: No

Requirements: None

Items needed: Burnt meat, an eye of newt, an onion and a rat's tail.

Monsters to kill: Rat (Level 1)

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Walkthrough

The place where you start the Witch's Potion quest.

Hetty

Talk to Hetty and tell her you want to know more about the black arts. She will tell you she needs four ingredients. You need to get a rat's tail, burnt meat, an eye of newt, and an onion.

Getting the ingredients

Rat's tail: Simply find any normal sized rat in Rimmington and kill it.

Burnt meat: Kill any creature that drops meat (for example one of the cows in Lumbridge farm or one of the rats in Rimmington). Perhaps the closest area is the field just north of Port Sarim which has many cows. (The field is north of the farming shop which has a sheepdog in it.) Then, "burn" the meat. Use a cooking range (for example the one right above Hetty's house) or cook it on a normal fire with logs (you will need a tinderbox and axe to do this). If you have too high a cooking level to burn it, simply use the cooked meat with the fire/range and your meat will always end up being burnt.

Eye of Newt: You can buy an eye of newt from the Magic shop in Port Sarim or at the Grand Exchange. Any magic shop is labelled with a small Fire rune on your minimap.

Onion: Either pick one, or farm one. Onions can be found in a field northwest of Rimmington or in the field behind Fred's farmhouse to the north-west of Lumbridge, beside the road leading to the crossroads at Draynor Village.

Suggested Route

Note: You don't have to start the quest to obtain all the ingredients, except for the rat's tail

Start in Lumbridge, kill a cow and take the meat. Burn the meat in a range or a fire in Lumbridge. It's easy to find a fire here, as many new players will burn logs next to the Woodcutting Tutor as they cut.

Pick an onion in the Fred the Farmer's garden.

Take 3 coins out of your bank in Draynor Village.

Stop in Port Sarim an buy an eye of a newt in the magic shop.

Go to talk to Hetty and ask to start the quest.

Walk back outside Hetty's house to kill a rat and take its tail.

Go talk to Hetty and give her the ingredients.

She'll put them in her cauldron and tell you to drink from it. Drink from the cauldron to complete the quest. Congratulations, quest complete!

Reward

1 Quest point
325 Magic experience.

Music

Music tracks unlocked:

None

Trivia

In RuneScape Classic, it is not possible to use cooked meat with a range to burn it, so high Cooking level players have had major troubles in obtaining burnt meat.
The cauldron is the only one in RuneScape that allows players to drink from it.
With the introduction of the Grand Exchange, players may buy most of the ingredients that Hetty requires.

► Vampire Slayer (F2P Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T20:05:00.000-07:00

Official quest description: The people of Draynor Village live in constant terror. Their numbers are dwindling, all due to the foul creature lurking in the manor to the north known as a vampire.

Release date: 28 January 2001

Start: You can start this quest by talking to Morgan in Draynor Village.

Difficulty: *****

Length: Short

Members only: No

Requirements: Able to defeat a combat level 34 vampire.

Items needed: A hammer, stake (obtained during quest), garlic (also obtained during quest), and 2 coins or a beer.

(Varrock Teleport, and Charged Amulet of Glory can also help make the quest even faster, but are not needed)

Monsters to kill: Count Draynor (level 34)

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Walkthrough

To start the quest, talk to Morgan in Draynor Village. The building he is located in is just north of Ned's building. He will tell you that a vampire is causing distress by killing the inhabitants of Draynor Village. He asks you to kill it. He will tell you to go to the Blue Moon Inn and talk to Dr. Harlow who he says was a former vampire slayer.

Before heading to Varrock, go upstairs in the same building you talked to Morgan in and go to the west side of the room and you will see a cupboard. Open it and search it to receive garlic. Next, obtain a hammer. You can buy a hammer from a general store for 1gp, or withdraw one from your bank. (there is a bank in Draynor Village, the same place that you started this quest).

Now head to southern Varrock. Go to the Blue Moon Inn which is located there. When approaching from the south entrance, you will see first a cottage to the east, and directly north of it, an inn with a blue moon sign. This is the Blue Moon Inn. Once inside, talk to Dr. Harlow. Tell him Morgan needs his help. He will want you to buy him a beer. Talk to the bartender in the room, buy a beer, and then talk to Dr. Harlow again. He will talk about vampires and give you a stake.

Now that you have the required items, you must now fight the vampire. Make sure you at least have garlic, a hammer, and the stake. (a weapon, armour and food might help as well). Go to Draynor Village, and then head north to Draynor Manor. Inside, go east towards the large stairs that lead downwards. Go down them. There will be a coffin in the centre of the room. Open it and the Count Draynor (The level 34 vampire) will come out of his coffin and attack you. If you have garlic, he will become very weak and can be more easily defeated. (Despite this, it is still useful to note that if you don't have any, every time you hit a "0" on him, Count Draynor will heal 1 hit point of health.) There is also a known safespot in the Count's lair (if you stay there too long then he will go back into his coffin): just lure him so that he walks into one of the red banners around the walls of his crypt and stay directly behind the banner adjacent to his own. This can give you time to heal, take other necessary actions before attacking him again or to use numerous sneak attacks on him ("hit-n'-run" sort of strikes). The best way to kill him is by using the fire strike attack, for low levelled players, so make sure you have lots of runes!

If or when you defeat him, you will automatically stab him with the hammer and the stake. When he is dead, you will have finished the quest. If he disappears before you have the chance to stake him, you simply need to kill him faster, as he disappears after a period of time.

Reward

3 Quest Points.
4,825 Attack experience.

Music

Tiptoe

Trivia

In RuneScape Classic and in early RuneScape 2, Dr. Harlow was originally located at the Jolly Boar Inn. Jagex later moved him to the Blue Moon Inn.
Note: In the RuneScape Classic version Count Draynor was a level 43. This was switched when RuneScape 2 was made.
Count Draynor, the vampire, is actually a spoof of Count Dracula.
The Attack experience gained from this quest will level a character's attack from 1 to 20.
Combat skill experience gained while fighting Count Draynor is reduced dramatically, the reason may be due to the fact that a high level player could intentionally not bring a hammer or stake with him while fighting the vampire, thus making his health limitless, resulting in fantastic training for the player, especially since the Count Draynor is very susceptible when you have Garlic in your inventory.
This was the first ever quest to be released in RuneScape after the beta testing period, thus making it the second quest in RuneScape's history.
There is a woman upstairs in Morgan's house. Most Players think that she is his wife.
Players may obtain an unlimited supply of Garlic from the cuboard after beginning the quest. This may be sold for a minimal profit as it currently trades for 15gp each.

► Shield of Arrav (F2P Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T20:04:00.000-07:00

Official quest description: Varrockian literature tells of a valuable shield, stolen long ago from the museum of Varrock, by a gang of professional thieves. See if you can track down this shield and return it to the museum. You will need a friend to help you complete this quest.

Release date: 4 January 2001

Start: Varrock library. Talk to Reldo, the librarian or Charlie the Tramp.

Difficulty: *****

Length: Medium

Members only: No

Requirements: A trustworthy friend or partner, and if you want to join the Black Arm Gang, the ability to kill a level 26 enemy.

Items needed: 20 coins if you want to join the Phoenix Gang or 2 coins and 2 Phoenix crossbows if you want to join the Black Arm Gang.

Monsters to kill: None

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Walkthrough

It is important at this time to decide which gang you wish to join. This choice is important for two reasons:

You need a member of the opposite gang to cooperate with you in order to complete this quest.
This choice will show up for future quests if you decide to become a member. Most notably, the Heroes' Quest has gang related activities where item trading between both gangs is also an important feature.

Being a member of the Phoenix gang is more complicated and expensive to complete, but gives you a larger headquarters and access to the Phoenix crossbow directly. It also requires you to defeat combat level 23 personality in close combat in order to help the Black Arm gang member complete his tasks.

The Black Arm gang is recommended if a player has lower combat levels, and is a cheaper alternative with close cooperation from a Phoenix gang member.

Phoenix Gang

Talk to Reldo, located in Varrock's library, in Varrock Palace. Ask him about a quest and he will tell you there's a book on something in the library. You have to now search the book case with a blue book. When you've found it, read or skim through it.(The book is blue.) After you've read the book, talk with Reldo and ask him where you can find the Phoenix Gang. He doesn’t know, but he says the fur trader Baraek might.

Baraek is located in the centre of Varrock. He buys and sells furs, and his stall is marked with an icon of a bear fur. Talk to him and ask about the Phoenix Gang. He will want you to give him 20 coins for info. Give him 20 coins, and he will tell you it is located in the south-east corner of Varrock.

The hideout is near the south-east corner of Varrock. It is a bit south of the rune shop. Look for a red exclamation mark (!) on your map to find the hideout. When you've found the red exclamation mark, you will see a ladder. Climb down it to enter the Phoenix Gang's hideout.

Inside the hideout, talk to Straven. If you ask to join, he will mention the Varrock Herald newspaper. This is a cover up. There should be an option that you can tell him that you know who he is, that he is part of the Phoenix Gang. If this option isn't there, go back to Baraek and ask him about the Phoenix gang again.... you missed getting all of the information from Baraek.

Straven will want you to kill Johnny the Beard (combat level 2). He is located in Varrock's Blue Moon Inn. This bar/restaurant is located near the south entrance of Varrock. Go inside the bar and find Johnny the Beard and kill him (he may need to respawn). It should be noted that some players may just attack Johnny "for fun" or to simply be annoying. If that happens, you might want to switch worlds and find a world that doesn't have this happening.

Johnny will drop a report which Straven wants. Grab the report and bring it back to Straven. Talk to Straven while having the report in your inventory, and you will become a Phoenix Gang member allowing you to enter the hideout. Straven will also give you the Weapon store key. You have to give this key to your partner from the Blackarm Gang. Do not worry about the thieves walking around if you are at a low combat level; they're not aggressive to any players as long as you don't attack them first.

Look around for a chest in the south-west corner of the hideout to find one half of the Shield of Arrav. You can only grab one shield at a time.

Black Arm Gang

To join the Black Arm Gang, talk to Charlie the Tramp located near the south entrance of Varrock. Ask him what’s down the alley, and he’ll tell you that it’s the Black Arm Gang’s hideout. Go down the alley and enter the building. Look for a woman named Katrine and talk to her.

Tell her you know about her gang and that you won't give your source. Tell her to prove that you're trustworthy and she will give you a task to join her gang.

Katrine wants you to steal the Phoenix Gang's stuff. She wants two of their crossbows. However, you will need a partner or friend to join the Phoenix Gang for this part of the quest.

When your partner/friend has joined the Phoenix Gang, he/she will be given a key. Ask for this key. When you have it, go to the Phoenix Gang's hideout outside. Look for a door that is locked. When you've found it, use the key with the door and climb up the ladder.

You will have to kill the Weaponsmaster on this floor. If you try to pick up the crossbow without killing the Weaponsmaster first, he will prevent you from doing so. Once he is dead, take two Phoenix crossbows. When you have both of them, go back to Katrine, and she will make you a member of the Black Arm Gang. Go upstairs in the hideout and look for a cupboard, which contains one half of the Shield of Arrav.

Finishing Up

Take your half of the shield to King Roald. He will say that you need a certificate for the reward and that you need see the Curator in Varrock Museum, north of the east bank. Go and see the Curator, then use your half of the shield on him.

When you talk to the Curator, he will give you 2 halves of the certificate. Your partner, who has the other half of the Shield of Arrav, will get the other halves of the certificate. Trade 1 half of the certificate with your partner for the other 1 half. When you have both halves, use one of them on the other, to get a full certificate.

Take that certificate to the King to get your reward. Quest completed.

Notes

If a player cannot find someone to trade the certificates with, they cannot finish the quest.

If a Phoenix Gang member tries to talk to Katrine, she spits on them and does not allow them to join the gang. If a Phoenix Gang member tries to kill the Weaponmaster to obtain the crossbows, the player is told that he or she cannot attack a fellow gang member.

A Black Arm Gang member can enter the Phoenix Gang Weapon Storage with a key from a Phoenix Gang member.

If working with additional players who want to get the half of a certificate from you, it would be wise to take the half certificates to the bank, store them, grab another shield half from your respective gang house and present it to the Curator. There is no practical limit to how many certificate halves you can have, but it is a tedious process going back and forth to the Curator and the gang stronghold. You can have only one shield half in your inventory at any given time. Also, keep in mind that once you have completed this quest, you can no longer obtain the shield half any more, although you can continue to keep certificate halves in your bank account indefinitely after you have completed the quest or trade for them with other players.

Reward

1 Quest point
600 coins
You can talk to Historian Minas in the Varrock Museum to receive 5 kudos.

Looking Back (at Varrock Museum)

Trivia

Shield of Arrav was one of the 6 quests available during RuneScape's launch.
In the beginning, a bug allowed the player to join both gangs. Katrine would appear angry at the player, but the player would still be able to enter the Black Arm Gang. The Phoenix gang doorman would also attack the player.
Before the previous bug was fixed, there was a second key used to enter the Phoenix gang basement (not the weapon storage). After the fix, this key was removed from the game.
In RuneScape Classic, the certificate for 600gp is technically 'discontinued' due to the fact you only get it once, and there can't be any new RSC accounts created.
The shield is currently on display at the Varrock Museum after you speak to the curator on the second floor and tell him how you recovered the shield for the museum.
In the early days of RS2, it was possible to buy the certificate from the general store and skip the majority of the quest. The bug has been fixed.
If you complete the quest and give the King another certificate, he will get mad and say you already gave him one.
With the development of the Grand Exchange and the updates to the stores, the shield halves are no longer tradeable between players.
Shield halves themselves used to be commonly sold in the Varrock general store as a method of earning some modest amounts of money for new players. A player could also "drop" the shield after grabbing the shield from the chest or cabinet, allowing a player to have as many as a dozen shield halves at the same time.
Due to the tradability of the certificate halves, it used to be possible to buy both halves from two different players, allowing one to complete the quest without joining either gang. Using this method on Heroes' Quest, the King will yell at the player stating that those aren't their certificates.
The Black Arm Gang is probably a reference to the Black Hand Gang which was a secret Serbian society that assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. Many blame them for starting World War I.

► Sheep Shearer (F2P Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T20:02:00.000-07:00

Official quest description: Fred the Farmer's sheep are getting mighty woolly. He will pay you to shear them.

Release date: 4 January 2001

Start: Northwest of Lumbridge, there is a person named Farmer Fred inside the house surrounded with chickens. Go inside and talk to him.

Difficulty: *****

Length: Very Short - Short

Members only: No

Requirements: none

Items needed: 380 coins or 20 Balls of wool for quick way, Shears for long way.

Monsters to kill: None

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Walkthrough

The starting point of the quest. Fred the Farmer is the man with the straw hat.

The sheep pen beside Fred the Farmer's house.

Quick way

The easiest way to complete this quest is to talk to Farmer Fred and buy 20 balls of wool at a general store or Grand Exchange for 220 coins, then just give them to him and the quest is complete. Note that he will not accept noted wool, but only the actual item(s).

Long way

If you feel like actually doing the work, follow these instructions: First, grab the shears off the table in Farmer Fred's house. Next, talk to him. Tell him that you're looking for a quest. He will give you one, and you will need to get him 20 balls of wool. Leave his house and enter the fenced area on the east side of his house, which is the sheep pen. You can either use your shears with the sheep or left-click on them to shear them. Sheep with wool will look puffy, and sheep without wool will look skinny. If a sheep has no wool, wait a few minutes and the wool will eventually appear on them. Sometimes they will run away from you if you try to shear them; just keep trying and you'll eventually get their wool.

The spinning wheel on the second floor of Lumbridge Castle.

Once you have 20 pieces of wool, you must now spin them into balls of wool. Enter Lumbridge Castle and head to the second floor. In one of the rooms is a spinning wheel. Click on it and spin the 20 pieces of wool you have. When they are all balls of wool, go back to Fred the Farmer to finish the quest. If you do not have the space to carry all 20 pieces of wool, you can make smaller deliveries until you reach the required total.

Diversions

There are two diversions in this quest.

Rams. Rams look very similar to sheep. If you left-click them, you'll attack them, as they cannot be sheared. If you're a very low-level player, it's best to be careful and try not to attack them.

The two penguins disguised as a sheep.

"The Thing." Fred the Farmer will warn you about "The Thing" and tells you to be wary of it. In the sheep pen, one of the sheep has an option to talk to it. This is "The Thing" Fred the Farmer mentioned. It is two penguins in a disguise. They have a role in the Cold War quest. If you've tried to shear "The Thing", the penguins will squeak and run from you. You can talk with Fred the Farmer about "The Thing" and have an interesting conversation.

Reward

1 Quest Point.
60 coins.
150 crafting experience.
Able to work for Farmer Fred (not mentioned).

Music

Music tracks unlocked:

(unknown)

Trivia

Sheep Shearer was one of the 6 quests available during RuneScape's launch.
With 150 crafting experience, it holds a record of the smallest experience reward for any skill given as a quest reward. In addition, 60 coins is currently the smallest monetary reward of all quests.
Note you also get 2.5 crafting experience per ball of wool you spin.
It is currently the easiest quest in RuneScape.

► Rune Mysteries (F2P Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T19:58:00.000-07:00

RuneScape uses the British convention for floor numbering: Ground floor, first floor (immediately above the ground floor), second floor, etc.

Rune Mysteries is one of the most vital quests in the game. With proper teleportation methods, this quest is very easy and short, but for many new non-members without teleports, this quest can be very "annoying".

Details

Official quest description: Recent research at the Wizards' Tower has found a way to create Runes for the first time in centuries. Assist the head wizard Sedridor in his research and he too may teach you these secrets!

Release date: 1 December 2003

Start: Lumbridge Castle. Go to the second floor and talk to Duke Horacio.

Difficulty: *****

Length: Short

Members only: No

Requirements: None

Items needed: None

Monsters to kill: None

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

As before, this quest can take a while without teleports and if you're not a member. But, this quest can help you understand runecrafting which will help you level up with a lot of skills.

Walkthrough

The Duke Horacio, located in the 2nd floor of Lumbridge castle, will give you an air talisman and tell you to bring it to the head wizard in the Wizards' Tower. Go to the Wizards' Tower, which is south of Draynor Village, and go downstairs to the basement.

Wizard Sedridor is the head wizard. Look for him in the basement and then talk to him. He will take your air talisman and give you a Research package, which you have to deliver to Aubury in Varrock. Aubury is south of Varrock's east bank, inside Aubury's Rune Shop.

After you talk to Aubury twice, he'll want you to deliver some notes to Wizard Sedridor. Go back to the Wizards' Tower and go down into the basement and talk to Wizard Sedridor.

Wizard Sedridor will return the air talisman and will explain to you the Runecrafting skill. Congratulations, quest complete!

Rewards

1 Quest Point
Access to the Runecrafting skill.
Access to the Rune essence mine
Air Talisman

Music

Music tracks unlocked:

Once you go to the Rune Essence mine (after the Quest) , you unlock the music track "Rune Essence"

Trivia

This was the last quest to be added to the free play version of RuneScape, besides Learning the Ropes and the holiday quests.
It's possible to train Runecrafting without actually completing this quest, but you can't mine Rune Essence. This is because of the introduction of the Grand Exchange, because you can trade rune essence or pure essence without having to have completed the quest
If you drop the talisman given to you by Duke Horacio and talk to him, he will give you another, and the first will remain on the ground. This continues as long as the player has inventory space, at which point they can be sold at the Grand Exchange, Low or High alchemied, or sold at the Lumbridge General Store. Please note that they cannot be banked, or Duke Horacio will not give you any talismans, but you can note them, drop the notes and ask for more.

► Romeo & Juliet (F2P Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T19:56:00.000-07:00

Start: Speak to Romeo in Varrock square

Difficulty: *****

Length: Short

Members only: No

Requirements: None

Items needed: One bunch of cadava berries.

Monsters to kill: None

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Romeo can be found in or near Varrock square. Speak to him and he asks you to talk to Juliet.

Speaking To Juliet

Talk to Juliet, she is located in the second floor of the house(usually standing on the balcony or sometimes in her bedroom) directly out of Varrock west gate, just west of the bank. She will give you a letter to give to Romeo.

Father Lawrence

Romeo reads the letter and doesn't know what to do. He suggests going to Father Lawrence, who is located in the church north of Varrock's east bank. After a bit of an argument, he mentions a cadava potion, and asks you to speak to the Apothecary just west of Varrock's south gate. He is in a little house, with the symbol of a purple potion, right at the back of the sword shop.

Juliet's final moments.

The Potion

Speak to the Apothecary and he will tell you he needs cadava berries. They can be found near the Varrock East Mine. You will need to pick them from the bushes with the pink berries. The red berries are redberries, and cannot be used for the quest. Alternately, you can grow a cadava bush and pick berries off it. You may also purchase them on the Grand Exchange. When you have them, return to the Apothecary and he will give you the potion. Drinking this potion will result in temporarily knocking yourself out.

The Plan

Now, head back to Juliet and give her the potion. You will now see a cut scene of her "dying", though she really falls into a coma. Go back to Romeo and tell him that he must rescue Juliet from the crypt. Apparently, he needs someone to accompany him.

Romeo seeing Juliet.

To The Crypt

You will now see another cut scene of you entering with Romeo. When he sees Juliet's cousin, Phillipa, he forgets all about Juliet and falls in love with her. You have now completed the quest!

Reward

5 Quest Points.
a vial if you drink the potion and give another berry to Apothecary

Trivia

Romeo & Juliet was one of the 6 quests available during RuneScape's launch.
After the release of Defender of Varrock, Juliet's father (Draul Leptoc) will enter the cutscene where she drinks the Cadava potion.
Before, there was no cutscene, the quest would end with Juliet dying.
This quest has a reward of 5 Quest Points, the third most possible for a quest, exceeded only by the 6 from Merlin's Crystal and the 10 from Recipe for Disaster. However, it is extremely easy compared to other quests that have the same reward.
It is tied with Goblin Diplomacy for the largest amount of quest points that can be gotten for a reward from a Free to play quest. It is also the only quest that only gives quest points.
After the quest you will see that Juliet is still in the house, but she will yell at you.
This is the first ever quest released in the History of Runescape.
Juliet's father, Draul Leptoc, is actually an anagram of Lord Capulet, who was Juliet's father in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet
If you talk to Romeo after the quest, when he says he is with Juliet's cousin, a heart will appear on top of him.
During the quest, Romeo will tell you that Father Lawrence bores the 'Carrockian vitizens', as opposed to Varrockian citizens. (Spoonerism)
When you go to the Apocethary, he will mention the ingredients "Wing of Rat, Tail of Frog, Ear of Snake, and Horn of Dog." None of these animals actually have these body parts, possibly because Apocetharies all over RuneScape have removed them.
In the crypt, the pillars, when right clicked, read "pillar" (not capitalized)

Trivia

The Restless Ghost was one of the 6 quests available during RuneScape's launch.
This quest is useful for new players, as the Prayer XP gained allows the level to rise from 1 to 9 (or from 7 to 13).
The title "The Restless Ghost" is a pun of "The Headless Ghost".
In RuneScape Classic, it was possible to summon skeletons by dropping the skull and picking it up again. Some players used this method to kill low level macro users.
In your inventory, select "Use" and when it is bordered white, the skull appears to be grinning with its mouth closed and the eyes seem to be smaller.

The Ghost's Skull
The skeleton has been known to disappear in the middle of the battle.
The ghost still speaks in coherent words, regardless of whether you are wearing the Ghostspeak amulet or not, during the end cutscene.

Monsters to kill: None

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Walkthrough

Setting up

The recommended inventory for starting the quest.

Note: All of the items in this quest can be bought at the Grand Exchange quite easily. Still, if you wish to gather the resources yourself, they can be obtained quite cheaply or without spending any money at all.

Ideally, players should begin in Varrock, where you can buy or withdraw the items from the bank. If you intend to gather these items yourself, you will need:

A pickaxe for mining
A hatchet and tinderbox to create a fire (or search for somebody in Varrock building fires).
Shears to cut some wool (purchased from a general store if you don't have them already)
A container that can hold water such as a bucket, a bowl, or a jug (not a vial, though).
A few coins to purchase items that can only be obtained from NPC stores or the Grand Exchange.

Fill the water container from any source of water such as a fountain or sink. There are several throughout Varrock, so look for the () icon on the mini-map for one that is close by.

If you can't find Ashes already, cut a tree, light the logs and then wait for it to burn out, while banking the axe and tinderbox you no longer need. Alternatively, you can kill an Imp and take the Ashes it drops. You should also withdraw some cash, to pay for the required items and toll gate crossings.

Buy the pink skirt at the clothes shop, then leave by the south city exit. Buy the 3 (or 4) beers (2 coins each) at the Blue Moon Inn on the way out.

At the Varrock East mine, you can mine one Tin and one Copper to make the bronze bar, and pick one Redberry from the nearby bushes. At the west mine, you can mine one piece of clay then go to the sheep pen just to the south of Varrock and shear seven sheep with shears.

If you have not already started the quest, then go south into the Al-Kharid desert area, passing the scorpion mine, down to the palace and begin the quest, otherwise take the road south towards Lumbridge. Cross the north bridge to the forge, and smith a bronze bar there, or use the Al-Kharid forge if you are there.

Go to Lumbridge Castle and spin all the wool, then take a pot from the kitchen and a bucket from the basement if you need them. Fill the bucket with water, wet the clay with it, then fill it again.

Follow the road north out of Lumbridge, then go to the Farmer Fred's house. Behind his house there is a garden with 12 onions. Pick two onions, then back to the road for the grain field and mill to make the flour.

At this point, you should now be carrying:

7 balls of wool (from shearing sheep and spinning the wool) or 3 balls of wool and a rope
Ashes (make or find a fire, once it burns out you should get ashes or kill an imp)
Bucket of water/Jug of water
Pot of flour (respawn in the Cooking Guild)
Bronze bar (mine tin and copper)
Soft clay (use clay with a bucket, jug or bowl of water)
2 Onions
Redberries (found south of Varrock, North of Lumbridge's windmill by Gnomecopters, or bought from Port Sarim Food Shop)
3 beers (normal beer)
Pink skirt (from Varrock's clothes shop)

The quest

You begin your quest in the palace of Al-Kharid by talking to (Chancellor) Hassan.He will be in the back room of the palace. He will direct you to a shifty looking fellow outside the northern perimeter of the palace, who goes by the name of Osman. Osman will in turn tell you to find and speak to his daughter Leela, who can be found strolling east of Draynor Village, near the field. Talk to Leela and she will tell you what you need.

If you look west from where you are standing when talking to Leela, you should see the door to Ned's house - get the rope and wig made from the balls of wool.

Note: If you are a member and have completed The Fremennik Isles. You can go to Ned without money or wool, and when you ask Ned for rope you will say you have not enough money and will tell him his rope smells like Yak and he will confess he doesn't really make his ropes and will give you a rope for free. You can repeat this several times and get an unlimited amount of ropes

Go into the cul-de-sac and ask Aggie to make you a yellow dye and a skin paste. Dye the wig, then put everything in the bank but the soft clay, as your next stop is the jail, and lower-levelled players could die there. The Jail is located immediately to the south-east of draynor. If you have not done so yet, you could get some armour and combat equipment for the next step, along with some food if you are lower-levelled. The guards are level 26, and you must be prepared to fight or flee from them.

Go in to the building as quickly as possible, or attack the guards. This is a multi-combat area however, so unless you're level-40 or higher, you should not attempt to attack them. A good idea would be to bring food, even though they only hit up to a mere 3 damage. If you can, close the door to the jail behind you before continuing on, although this may not be possible due to other players coming in and also trying to complete the quest.

Talk to Lady Keli about anything other than Katrine. Importantly, try to select options that flatter her, suggesting how famous she is. If she isn't in or around the building, wait a little - she'll respawn as sometimes other players will defeat her as a part of the quest later on. Then, tell her she's famous all over RuneScape, then ask her about her latest plan, and that she must have been very skillful. Ask her then if she's sure that they won't try to break Prince Ali out.

Ask her if you can see the key and then if you can take it for a short amount of time. Ask then to touch the key. You should have the soft clay with you at this time, so make an imprint into the clay. If you forgot the clay, you need to go back to the bank or obtain it somehow and repeat this whole dialogue all over again.

Check in with Leela, and she'll tell you to take the imprint and bronze bar to Osman - that means two more trips through the toll gate, coming back to collect the key from Leela. If you still need to talk to Joe before Leela is happy, then bank the key, go and do it.

Now that Leela is happy with the plan, you now need to take:

Rope
Wig
Skin paste
Pink skirt
Key
3 Beers

And head for the jail.

The Draynor jail.

Talk to Joe and offer him a drink, and another, and another. The option to offer Joe a drink is on the first dialogue screen, and if you talk about anything thing else, you won't be able to offer him a beer until you start the conversation all over again. Say I have some beer to start the conversation with Joe, and then offer additional drinks as he becomes more inebriated.

Use the rope on Lady Keli to capture her. At this point you should hurry, as Lady Keli will respawn in about a minute or so. If she does respawn before you enter the cell with Prince Ali, you need to get another rope and tie up Keli.

Use the key on the cell door, then talk to Prince Ali and he will use the disguise and escape. A message will appear saying that you are now a friend of Al-Kharid and you don't have to pay to enter the gate connecting Lumbridge and Al-Kharid ever again. Now get out, trying to avoid the remaining guards. Don't be long, as Lady Keli will quickly respawn!

Now go pass through the gate that connects Lumbridge and Al-Kharid for free (or go take the long way around), and go and talk to Hassan in the Al-Kharid palace to claim your reward.

From now on, should you attempt to talk to Lady Keli, a message appears over her head (the same way a message appears over a player's head when he/she speaks) saying that you tricked her. She will tell guards to get you, in which one of the guards says, "Yes, M'Lady" and attacks you, however you can escape by running out of the jail grounds. The guards will only attack you if your combat level is 52 or under. If it's higher than 52 they will leave you alone.

Rewards

The entry to this toll gate is now free upon quest completion.

3 Quest Points
700 Coins
Free passage through the Lumbridge - Al-Kharid toll gate from now on
Access to Sorceress's Garden minigame (members only)

Hints

The Jail guards are aggressive to players level 52 and lower. It's probably better to enter the compound from the east side, and at lower combat levels, try to find a time when other players are attacking the guards, or go to a busy world where many players would be training there. Be advised that the guards may stop fighting the higher levels to attack other players. As well, to get them out, have them come outside, and go barely inside so that you are inside and they are outside, and close the door.
If you lose any items, you can get them made again, except for the key - Leela will replace it, at a price.
A way out of Al-Kharid to Port Sarim: (only works for members)

Go south to Shantay Pass and talk to Shantay.
Choose "What is this place?", and then "I am an outlaw".
Refuse to pay the 5-coin fine, twice, and you will be transferred to the "high security" jail south of Port Sarim, pick the lock to the door, and walk out past the sleeping guard

► Pirate's Treasure (F2P Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T19:50:00.000-07:00

Official quest description: Redbeard Frank knows the location of pirate treasure, but he'll only part with the knowledge for a bottle of Karamja rum.

Release date: 11 June 2001

Start: The northmost dock at Port Sarim, just south of the Pub.

Difficulty: *****

Length: Medium

Members only: No

Requirements:

Able to defeat or run away from a combat level 4 Gardener.

Items needed:

Karamja rum
White apron
90 coins or Ring of charos(a).
Spade.

Monsters to kill: None

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Walkthrough

Preparation

The place where you start Pirate's Treasure.

First of all, find a white apron. These can be bought from the clothing store in Varrock, as well as being found hanging on the back wall of Gerrant's Fishy Business. They may also be bought from other players, and the Grand Exchange.

Redbeard Frank

Talk to Redbeard Frank. He wants you to get some Karamja rum before he'll tell you the location of the treasure. So, walk south on the docks to see three sailors, Captain Tobias, Seaman Lorris, and Seaman Thresnor. Talk to any one of these sailors to board the ship to Karamja for 30 coins.

Getting and smuggling the Karamja rum

On Karamja, make your way west towards the Karamja Wines, Spirits, and Beers bar. On your map, it will have a picture of a beer glass. Walk inside and trade with the bartender Zambo. Buy one karamja rum (costs 30 coins).

Do not leave the island just yet. If you do, the Customs officers will take your rum away, as Asgarnia has banned the import of intoxicating spirits. Do not try to teleport off the island with the rum, because the bottle will break in the process. Go back towards the ship, but before you reach the customs guards, go north to talk to Luthas, the owner of the banana plantation. Talk to him and he will hire you as his worker. He also says that his crates are not searched by the customs guards if you ask him about the customs officer. So, he wants you to put some bananas inside his crate outside his store. Agree to help him. Walk outside his store and then go back west and enter the banana plantation beside his house. Click on the banana trees to obtain bananas. Grab 10 Bananas. After the quests, you can work for Luthas by filling the crates and you will get paid for it

Next, walk towards the crate outside Luthas' store. Use your rum with the crate to hide it. Next, use the bananas with the crate (or right click on the crate and choose Fill Crate). When you can no longer put any more bananas in your crate, talk to Luthas and obtain your payment. Ask him where the crate goes, and he will tell you they go to a person named Wydin who owns the food store in Port Sarim. So talk to the customs officers and go back to Port Sarim.

Recovering and delivering the rum to Redbeard Frank

When you get off the ship, find the food store, which should be south a bit. Enter the store and look for a door at the back of the store. Try to enter it. Wydin will tell you only employees can go there. Ask to work for him, and if you have your white apron on you, he'll agree. If you do not have a white apron you may obtain one from the fish store to the north. Garret keeps a white apron hanging on the north wall. After being employed enter the room and search the crate with the banana on top. You should find your rum. Take it and go back to Redbeard Frank.

Getting the pirate's clue

Frank gives you a key to a chest in a bar in Varrock. So go to Varrock and go to the southern entrance, and stand outside the sword shop. To the east, there should be a bar. It will be the Blue Moon Inn. Go upstairs in the bar and look for a chest in one of the rooms. Use the key you got from Frank on the chest to obtain a pirate message. It will give you a clue to the treasure's location.

Digging for the treasure

The place where you dig for treasure to finish Pirate's Treasure.

Go to Falador, and look for the park. It is north of the eastern bank. It is very large and cannot be missed. Before you can dig up the treasure, however, you will need a spade. This is easily obtainable, because there is a respawn point just south-west of Falador Park, in the corner of the real estate agency building (which is marked with the symbol of a house on the map). However, you can also buy spades at farming stores, and they spawn in a number of locations, such as the mine near Rimmington, the southeast room of Draynor Manor.

Now look for a statue of Saradomin. There are multiple statues of Saradomin in Falador, but you should find the one that is in a garden. Look at the direction where he is pointing, which is usually west. Note that he is not in fact pointing directly at where you should stand, but rather in the direction of the spot where you should stand. Look at how the configuration of the dirt makes an X. It may not look like an "X" if you are facing north. You may have to rotate a little. When in the centre of the "X" you should be fairly close to Saradomin. Stand in the middle of the dirt "X" and click on your spade to dig. An angry combat level 4 Gardener will shout "First moles, now this!", then start fighting you. Kill him, or run out of the park and then run back in, and then dig again in the same spot to get a another chest. You have completed Pirate's Treasure, now open the chest and claim your reward!

Note: In RuneScape Classic, the player must dig behind the bench by using the spade with the flowers.

Reward

2 Quest Points.
A One-Eyed Hector's Treasure Chest containing 450 coins, Cut Emerald and a Gold Ring.
You can also use the payfare option to go to and from Karamja.

Music

Music tracks unlocked:

Sea Shanty2
Scape Soft
Fanfare
Horizon

Trivia

When the quest was first released, the Karamja rum was tradeable and the bottles would not break if players tried to teleport. Some players simply bought a whole load of rum and sold it to players doing the quest, allowing them to skip a large part of it. When this was posted on fan forums, a Jagex developer saw it and the problem was soon corrected.

After you finish the quest, the Customs Officer will not ask, but if you have rum it will be confiscated.

Whilst your character is talking to Redbeard Frank about obtaining the Karamja rum several alcohol references in regard to rum are made. The rum references initiate when your player says, "I guess I could give it a shot" (shot being the type of glass rum is drunk out of) progressed by Redbeard Frank exclaiming, "That's the spirit!" (spirit being the class of alcohol rum is distingiushed as)

During the quest, you obtain a job from Wydin. But no matter how many times you ask him, you never get paid for your "job" of cleaning out the back.

It's also possible to turn a small profit if you fill your inventory up with raw chickens from one of the crates which can be sold at the food store for 50 coins each.

► The Knight's Sword (F2P Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T19:49:00.000-07:00

Official quest description: 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.

Release date: 6^th April 2001

Start: Talk to the squire located in the White Knights' Castle in Falador.

Difficulty: *****

Length: Medium

Members only: No

Requirements:

10
Ability to evade level 57 Ice Warriors and level 53 Ice Giants
15 to smelt two irons bars.(recommended)
10 to cook a redberry pie. (recommended)

Items needed:

Redberry pie
A pickaxe
2 iron bars (4 if you want your own blurite sword)
1 blurite ore (2 if you want your own blurite sword).

Monsters to kill: None

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Walkthrough

This is where you start The Knights Sword.

For convenience's sake, it is advised for players to get the necessary items before starting the quest. This means getting 2 iron bars (4 if you want your own copy of the blurite sword) and a redberry pie. Players may either make these themselves, which requires 15 Mining and Smithing for the bars, and a pickaxe, and 10 Cooking for the pie. Alternatively, players may simply buy them at the Grand Exchange.

The squire in Falador will tell you he lost Sir Vyvin's sword, and would like you to help him replace it. The squire will tell you to talk to Reldo, Varrock's librarian. Go to Varrock Castle and to go the far north of the castle to find Reldo.

Reldo will tell you that one is located on the southern peninsula of Asgarnia. If you haven't already made a redberry pie, make one now. With a redberry pie in your inventory, continue to Asgarnia and then head south. The Imcando dwarf lives near the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon.

You should see a small house on the side of a hill with an anvil logo. Look for Thurgo, the Imcando dwarf. Ask him if he would like some redberry pie, an offer he'll readily accept. Talk to him again, and ask him about the sword. He says he'll need a picture of it. Go back to Falador and talk to the squire again. (You must talk to the squire, before proceeding)

The squire will tell you that Sir Vyvin has a portrait of the sword in his room. Go to the third floor of the castle and find Sir Vyvin (his room can only be accessed from the second floor, up the stairs in the middle of the castle). Look for a cupboard nearby and open it and search it. You will obtain a portrait that shows the sword. However, Sir Vyvin will stop you if he is in the room. There are three ways to avoid this:

Have a friend talk to Sir Vyvin while you open and search the cupboard.
Open the door to his room and wait for him to walk out. However, this will take a very long time. Just shut the door when he leaves and then search the cupboard.
Have the door open, and wait next to the cupboard. When Sir Vyvin walks behind the door, quickly search the cupboard.

Once you have the portrait, go back to Thurgo.

Thurgo in his hut.

Talk to Thurgo and give him the portrait. He will tell you that the sword he is making is a blurite sword, however he will need the materials to make the sword. You will have to enter the dungeon on the hill nearby to obtain the blurite ore, with your trusty pickaxe, of course. All enemies in the cave are aggressive so bringing food and armour is a good idea. When you see white ahead of you, be prepared to run along the walls to find the blurite rocks, which are grey with bright blue streaks running down the sides. Mine one or two blurite ore depending on whether or not you wish to create a sword for yourself. When you have the amount of blurite you want, run out. If you are attacked you may also want to find a safe corner and use the Lumbridge Teleport to leave the mine.

It may be helpful to have a bodyguard to protect you from the aggressive monsters; however, if done correctly, a level 3 player can get the ore.

Note that the spot right next to the entrance to the members-only area of this dungeon where the Skeletal Wyverns are is a safe spot. It is recommended you mine the blurite ore rock right next to this area, so you can easily retreat to safety if necessary.

The blurite rocks now have the "seam rock" style with only a vein of colour, instead of their old solid colour style and the positions have changed from those shown in many guides.

Talk to Thurgo with your blurite ores and your iron bars. He will make you a sword. To make more swords for yourself, drop the sword Thurgo just made and talk to him again with the materials. He will the make you a second sword. Pick up the sword you dropped. If players want to, they can continue repeating this to obtain as many swords as they like.

Go back to the squire and talk to him. If you talk to him while holding two or more swords, he will take both of them, so it is recommended that you bank one or drop it before you talk to him, then pick it up after. You will be done with the quest when you've given him the sword. Note that if you lose these swords, there is absolutely no way to get them back.

Reward

1 Quest Point.
12,725 Experience.
A blurite sword, if you got Thurgo to make you an extra one.
Members may smelt Blurite ore

Trivia

Distracting the guard is a direct reference to Kryten from the British comedy Red Dwarf. While trying to distract the Inquisitor, Kryten says "Could I possibly just distract you for a minute?"
The Smithing experience reward can make your Smithing level grow from level 1 to 29, and the Blurite sword is one of the best weapons for free players with low Attack levels - making it quite a good quest for low-levelled players.
The experience reward can also turn 21 smithing into 32, making it a good quest to get the levels needed for the Lumbridge Achievement Diary
During the dialogue when distracting the guard, he asks you if you would like to join the white knights (even if the player is a white knight already from completing the Slug Menace quest). Furthermore, he is the one who sells the player white knight armour.

► Imp Catcher (F2p Quest Guide)

2009-07-12T19:47:00.000-07:00

Official quest description: The Wizard Grayzag has summoned hundreds of little imps. They have stolen a lot of things belonging to the Wizard Mizgog including his magic beads.

Release date: 16 February 2001

Start: Wizards' Tower, on the third floor, talk to Wizard Mizgog.

Difficulty: *****

Length: Short-Long

Members only: No

Requirements: None

Items needed:

A black bead
A yellow bead
A red bead
A white bead

About 1600 coins

Monsters to kill:

Imp (level 2) (not compulsory)

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Walkthrough

Make your way to the Wizards' Tower, south of Draynor Village over a stone bridge. Once there, you will know you are at the right place if you see level 9 Wizards. Climb the stairs, and go up to the third floor. Talk to Wizard Mizgog and ask him questions to find out he needs your help. He will tell you Grayzag's imps stole his beads and wants you to get them for him. He needs you to get:

A black bead
A yellow bead
A red bead
A white bead

To obtain the beads, you will have to kill Imps. Imps can be found almost anywhere in free-to-play. The best place, however, is on the island of Karamja. There are many imps here but are guarded by scorpions, so if you're lower than level 29, look for imps around the entrances Falador and the outskirts of Lumbridge. Keep killing imps until you have all four beads on you. The imps will sometimes teleport, making them annoying and hard to kill.

Another place to find and kill imps is the south entrance to Falador. Besides having around 3 imp respawns, it is a multi combat zone so a friend could help you.

Note that magic beads can be traded between players, and sold to stores.

Once you have all four beads, return to Wizard Mizgog and give them to him to finish the quest.

Unlike many other quest items, these beads are tradeable, which means that if you have about 2,000 gp you can do this quest very simply by buying the beads on the Grand Exchange.

Reward

1 Quest Point.
An Amulet of Accuracy.
875 Experience

Walkthrough

Like the goblin generals had said, the goblin race is on the brink of civil war over armour colour. They want orange armour. If you have not dyed anything yet, ask the generals "How do I get orange goblin mail?". After a while of chatting one will say "You get a goblin mail and dye it orange. Grubfoot stole yellow dye from old lady in Draynor, perhaps you can get it there?". When you ask where to get a goblin mail, a general will say "In crates somewhere. Can't remember where, though." The armour is located in crates, one behind the general's hut, one next to the western hut, and one up a ladder near the entrance.

At Lumbridge, go to the backyard of Farmer Fred's farm, which is at next to the sheep paddock. Walk around behind it, and you will see a small onion patch. Pick two, and continue to Varrock.

Next go to the Varrock southeast mine. Just a bit to the northwest of the mine, between the mine and the Varrock city wall, there'll be two types of berry bush. The pink bushes are cadava berries. These are poisonous and have no use except in the Romeo & Juliet quest. The red bushes are redberries. You will need three redberries from the bushes.

Next go to Falador Park. Talk to Wyson the head gardener which you will find east in the park. He sells woad leaves. Ask him if you can buy some. When do so, he'll ask how much you are willing to pay. When the menu comes up click "about 20 coins". He'll say you are generous and will give you 2 woad leaves. The alternative is to click "about 15 coins" and he will give you one woad leaf. Do this again, and the total price being 30 coins.

Now, walk south out of Falador, then follow the road past the farm with the chickens, and continue south then east until you reach Draynor Village. Go to Aggie the witch. Ask her if she can make you anything. She will say she can make dyes. Ask her to make either a blue, red, or yellow dye. Do this 3 times, doing a different colour every time. Every dye will cost you 5 coins. When you have every one, mix the red and yellow dyes to make orange. Dye one goblin mail orange, one blue, and leave the last one brown. Go back to Goblin Village.

Give the orange mail to the generals. They will have Grubfoot try it on, and say they do not like it. They will then tell you to bring them blue now. Give them the blue mail. They will have Grubfoot try it on again, and reject it again. They want brown now. Give them the plain brown mail. Grubfoot tries it on for the last time. they decide that brown armour is best. Congratulations, quest complete!

Grubfoot with blue mail.

Trivia

This quest used to be started by talking to the Bartender in Port Sarim.
This quest has a reward of 5 Quest Points, the third most possible for a quest, exceeded only by the 6 from Merlin's Crystal and the 10 from Recipe for Disaster. However, it is extremely easy compared to other quests that have the same reward.

Walkthrough

Veronica wants you to find her fiance, Ernest. She says he entered Draynor Manor and hasn't come back yet. Enter the manor. If you want to see what happened to him, climb up the stairs and keep going up the floors until you reach the top. Talk to Professor Oddenstein, who will explain that Ernest was turned into a chicken. However, to change him back, the professor needs parts that were stolen and are somewhere in and around the manor. You need to help him find a pressure gauge, a rubber tube, and an oil can. Without these you cannot complete the quest.

Pressure Gauge

To get the pressure gauge, you will need fish food and poison. Fish food is found on the second floor, in the room behind the staircase. To get the poison you need to go to the small room immediately south of the kitchen. It's a green bottle on the floor. Look for these two items, and when you've obtained them, go outside the manor through the east door, grabbing a spade if you don't already have one, and look for the fountain on the south-west side of the manor. Use the poison with the fish food so that it becomes poisoned fish food. Use the poisoned fish food with the fountain that's at the southwest end of the manor to kill the piranhas in the water in order to grab the gauge. Then, search the fountain to get the gauge. If you don't use the poisoned fish food on the fountain, you will be bitten by the piranhas and take 1 damage.

Rubber Tube

Find the spade in the room near the back door. When you've found it, take it and then go outside. Look for the compost on the west side of the manor. Use the spade with the compost and you will get a key.Go back into the manor through the front entrance, open the door containing the room with the skeleton. The skeleton will attack you before you grab the tube or after you pick it up, regardless of your level. If you enter the room, the door will close behind you, but you will have the key so the door will open again.

Oil Can

There is a secret room in the manor. In the westernmost room on the ground floor is a book case. Click on it to push it and enter a secret room. Look for a ladder that leads downwards, and climb down it. You will be in the basement. There will be doors and switches around you. Follow these instructions to obtain the oil can. You will need to use your map.

Enter the north eastern door
Pull lever D

Players may go up the ladder and then back down to reset all of the levers.

Ending

Go all the way up to the top floor and talk to the professor. Give him the items and he will fix his machine. Ernest will be turned back into a human. When Ernest is done talking to you, you will get a message saying you have completed the quest.

Over the past couple weeks we have been looking for tougher PKRI's. BK approached us early in the week and we knew this would be a great challenge. Today we were determined and wanting, not just to perform well like we have in several of our last PKRI's but we gain the victory. We were able to pull around a decent 129 options starting, we had a not so great of a sign up.

I would like to apologize to BK for DK crashing,and also thank BK for helping us clear DK easily. Thanks for the fight Bk, was very enjoyable.

GK Starting 129-ish Opts - Awaiting Picture.

There you go, have fun counting.

BK Starting 117 Opts

GK Ending 126 + Returners.

BK Ending - Walked out - 40-50ish Opts, could not get a clear picture.

Thank you to anyone who helped AC. Thanks again BK.
