Runescape Magic: Dressing The Part (Drawrof)

September 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Long time reader Drawrof left a comment back on the topic of Effectively Using Magic and Range in Runescape, talking about getting the best Magic equipment possible whether you’re a Member or a Free to Play player:

Just thought I would remind all that if you plan to mage to dress the part.

For Mage in f2p, make sure you get yourself a blue wizard’s hat(+2 magic att & Def) and robe(+3 magic att & Def), and get a ammy of magic (+10 magic att). Wear a anti-dragon shield, or nothing. (regular shield lowers your magic attack) Since you have no option for magic stat boosting bottoms, try the Monk’s robes bottoms or buy a blue skirt. Lastly, use a Staff of what ever elemental type you want, they add 10 magic to attack.

Membership benefits becomes clear when it comes to maging. Full Mystic Robes, Split Bark Armour and the Infinity Line. From the lowly Zammy Robes (at least they give bottom bonus)to lofty God Capes, Ammy of Glory and the Full Ahrim’s Barrows set (+73 magic att&def) Plus dozens of new spells and runes to choose from.

Great tips, thanks for the details Drawrof!

Tip: Earning Cash On A New Player

September 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment

There was a great tip by Uncle Vernon that I just published to the “Starting A New Character” posting, I’d like to share it, as it’s a way for a brand new character to make 10-15k without having to deal with selling to other players:

One of the easiest ways to make money is killing chickens by Varrock or Lumbridge;

1)collect about 500 feathers
2)collect 20 raw chickens
3) bury all your bones

go to port sarim and cook all chicken (raise cooking) eat them or sell them by the wilderness later, now for “the real money”; go to fishing shop and value feathers they stay from 1 gold to 4 gold, when they are 3 or 4 gold sell them 10 at a time with 500 feathers you can: make 15 to 20k, raise a little combat, and the most important… raise cooking level!!!

Thanks for the tip Uncle Vernon!

How To Be Annoying On Runescape Or Other Online Role Playing Games

October 30, 2005 | 45 Comments

Updated Sept 2007 for Jobs board link.

Short version of this post:

No, I will not give you anything for free, and I will not loan you any money. People like me, however, offer jobs to those who don’t mind doing work to get the money or equipment they desire. So, venture over to the Runescape Jobs and Pals board and list your info, or find a buyer there, and YES feel free to ask me for Runescape tips, but NO, DON’T ASK FOR ANY MONEY OR GAME “STUFF” FOR FREE.

In fact, don’t even tell me how broke you are, or how poor you are. I don’t want to hear about it, you’re in the same boat as 95% of the Runescape population.  The other 5% have found some way to feel joy from doing the things that gain big money over time.

Long version of this post:

Free online role playing games are a lot of fun, specifically because there are SO many people to meet and talk to (or attack and kill), as well as so many things to do on the game, and so many places to go…

But they’re also annoying sometimes, because with free online games come a whole bunch of people who can’t afford the registered/members version of the game, and it seems that among these players there are a higher percentage of folks who display Annoying Behavior, and who seemingly don’t realize it’s annoying.

This entry is dedicated to the education of all individuals as to what denotes Annoying Behavior on an Online Role Playing Game.

Mainly it’s this:

BEGGING.

Begging is when you ask for something for free from someone you barely know.

If you’ve spent a few weeks chatting and exchanging Runescape tips and getting to know someone, you might have built up enough good will in the relationship to borrow something, and that’s a different story.

I’m talking about the folks who talk to me for 10 minutes or less and are then asking me “is there anything you have that you don’t want that you could give to me?”, “I got hacked/I died, can I have some money/equipment?” and “wow you must have a lot of money, could I borrow 50k?” or the likes. I’ve even been asked by people if I’d pay REAL money for them to become members!!!

You think there’s no big deal in asking the for a few in-game items for free, but know this: the person you’re asking (ie: me) has probably been asked that question by 10 different people already today, and 10 people yesterday and 10 people the day before…

You’re seen as JUST ANOTHER BEGGAR. Beggars are annoying on the game just like they are in Real Life when you’re walking down the street and 5-10 complete or near-complete strangers come up and ask you for change.

Please don’t beg for handouts from me. I’m perfectly willing to give you a “job” cutting wood or mining ores, and I’ll even pay you in cash or equipment (up to and including mith stuff) so you get what you need, but the quickest way to my Ignore list and permanent non-chat status with me is to beg for handouts (ie: anything you didn’t work for).

Begging just is NOT cool.

And in closing, advertising how broke or poor you are isn’t cool either - it’s begging without even having the guts to ask the direct question of “can I have something from you to relieve my broke or poor situation?”

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blogging, and I apologize to you non-beggars out there for having to read this, although I’m sure you agree wholeheartedly with this post.
