How to make a lot of Money in RS

Friendly Greetings! I am back once again to tell you the secrets of making a lot of money in Runescape. As you know, making money in Runescape can be hard work, especially if you are using an out dated method. Some people might tell you that you have to be a certain level to make millions of gold. The truth is you can make loads of money at level 3! There are tons of ways to make money in this game. All you have to do is work.

Since I am on the subject of making money at level 3, let me go ahead and tell you a method that can be started as soon as you get off Tutorial Island. After you land in the Lumbridge Castle, go kill some cows and pick up their hides. Then, go bank the hides. You can bank them in the Lumbridge Castle bank or in the dessert. Killing the cows will also give you some good experience points. This will help you level up so you can move on to other methods. After you get about 100 go to the Grand Exchange and sell them for the minimum price. The minimum price right now is about 104 gp each. (These prices change practically daily, so to know the exact price you will have to go see it for yourself.) If you have 100 cowhides and you sell them for 104 Gold each, you will have made 10,400 gp. That’s pretty good for 4 trips to the bank, isn’t it? If you saved them up and you collected 1,000 cowhides, you could make 104,000 gp.

Make a lot of Money in Runescape
Now, that’s good money to start you out in the beginning, but getting 1000 cow hides takes time, and 104,000 gp is not a lot. So, if you are a higher level, I suggest doing the Rune Mysteries quest so you can mine Pure Essence. They sell for around 139 each. It is not a lot more, but if you mine 1000 of those and sell at 139 each, you will make 139,000 gp. It’s about 30,000 more gold for a little more time. Of course making millions with this way, or cowhides as well, will take time. Any method will take time. There is no instant method to get rich, they all take hard work.

For Pay to Play members, you could go pick Flax. They only sell at 80 GP minimum price. This is because Flax is faster to pick and bank than Cowhides or Pure Essence. 80 GP is not enough money at all. That’s why you add another step. Spin the Flax into Bow Strings. These sell for a minimum of 167 GP each. If you have 1000 Bow Strings, that’s 167,000 GP. Still a lot of work, but you will get a lot of money as well.

Now, if you want a little bit more money for your work, chop some yews. They sell at a minimum of 440 each. That means 440,000 for 1000 of them. If you want even more money, take those yews and turn them into Yew Longbows. Yew Longbows sell for a whopping 627 each minimum! That’s 627,000 for 1000 of them. It takes awhile to make Yew Longbows, but if you are dedicated to making millions, sell 10,000 of them and then retire. (By the way, 10,000 Yew Longbows = 6,270,000!)

If you want even more money than that, then get out that Dragon Axe and start chopping Magic Trees. Just one Magic Log sells for 1,231 gold! That means if you cut just 1000 of them, you will have 1,231,000! Cut 10,000 and you will have 12,310,000!! Magic trees take a long time to cut. As I have said, if you work hard, you can make millions of gold on Runescape.

Now you know how to make a lot of money in Runescape. It’s easy if you are willing to work for it. Trust me, that Dragon Long Sword is worth all the work. Good luck and happy money making! Haha!

Runescape Tips: Building Up Wealth

Posted by: amber  //  Category: Christmas 2008 Event Guide, free runescape money, Holiday Guides, Lores and Histories

 

Runescape Tips: Building Up Wealth

Like any other hardcore gamer, the search for valuable tips on how to make things fasters such as money, skill level and rare items will be at the immediate front of their minds. While game administrators, developers and programmers do not do this in purpose, there are always things that will go unnoticed, especially in large scale developed games that caters to multi-player participation. Bugs, exploits, and glitches are only natural since these are the little things that people do not initially consider. Overall, the main agenda for most players in Runescape is on how to get money to be able to buy items and raw materials in the game that will help the level up their skills and obtain items that are usually priced above the average.

In Runescape, the best way to earn money is to fight off the difficult NPC’s, which would usually have more gold stored in them over the ordinary ones. Leveled in accordance to the difficulty of conquering them, the harder an NPC is, the higher rewards expected in terms of money and rare items to be looted. Recalling a place where monsters lie is a good way to start a pattern to which players can simply go back and kill the same NPC and get the random loot and gold from them as well.

Engaging in quests is another key thing for most players to rely on. While this may have a connection with the more difficult conquering monsters, quest master NPC’s guide them through their journey, the instructions of which should be understood thoroughly for them to be able to find the goal of the entire quest. More than just prestige, such activities pose another dimension of game play for Runescape, taking them out of the usual routine adventure trips and killing the same old characters again and again.

Money making does not only come from adventuring and fighting. For the people who want to strike a balance and engage in labor work, specially crafted items can be sold as well. Raw materials that have not yet gone through the process of being used in making such items have values as well, and any form of trade can be done in Runescape that has its equal share of merchants and warriors. Craftables and laborers make a living from doing such things such as macroing or repetitive acts of a certain activity, something that will raise their skills for every successful craft they produce.

As mentioned, rare items have a price as well. Selling them at a price equivalent to their rarity in the game and difficulty in the game is something that most Runescape players will surely want to get their hands on. Not really the noble way to secure such an item, the bottom line is rarity and this is something that most people would simply bid to have. This is a clear case why money is important in Runescape, to have the best and play like the best.

The Rewards Of Runescape Quest Participation

Posted by: amber  //  Category: Christmas 2008 Event Guide, free runescape money, Holiday Guides, Lores and Histories

Quests are special events that Runescape players can participate on outside the usual course of the game of the Runescape world. These are events usually programmed to provide Runescape players with another dimension of battling new monsters with plots, a storyline that is provided to players who look for something more than the usual journeys they have in Runescape.

Ideally, Runescape players are tasked to obtain a certain object or hunt and defeat higher skilled monsters to be rewarded. Obstacles along the way such as subsidiary but moderately skilled monsters are usually to be met. Runescape quests are usually made to encourage group adventures, each skilled in a certain skill such as masters in magic, long distance combat and melee skills. This is done to widen the specialization of each Runescape player and acknowledge their importance and the power of their chosen mastered skill. A successful triumph of a Runescape quest will naturally merit rewards in the form of money and rare items not normally seen in vendors or standard killing of monsters. The usual monetary rewards are divided towards the Runescape players should they decide to form alliances in order to conquer such tasks.

There are of course the witty and hardcore players who want to take on journeys alone. While the road may lead to a lengthy adventure for them, nothing beats conquering a quest on their own. Tactics such as outside analysis on how to be able to defeat strong monsters will prove to be mind-boggling, and heads up face to face combat will surely be not enough. The extreme patience and determination that players have is the key and the aftermath is a very fulfilling reward for the player left standing above the NPC’s of the Runescape quest.

Some players have apprehensions of participating in quests. One is the uneasy feeling of trusting their group mates who may suddenly turn their back and betray them on the spot to get all the loot and glory. While such occurrences are only natural, risks are included in carving a glorious name. It is not mainly a kill and loot situation in most games, Runescape included. For Runescape players that are particular in finding something new, participating in Runescape quests and the added risks of betrayal and getting nothing out of the entire ordeal is a possibility.

It cannot be discounted that some Runescape players would resort to Runescape hacks or cheats to be able to accomplish certain tasks such as quests. While most game administrators would not tolerate such, it is hard to spot if you are not a veteran Runescape player. Hacks and cheats in a massive multiplayer online game are only natural, owing to the flaws that games are prone to. But as most online games, time will only tell when such bugs and cheats will be resolved, the same as other online games today

Runescape Calculators and Toolkits

Runescape Calculators and Toolkits

 

The continued search of most Runescape players today is to create an analytical approach towards the game, allowing each player to make initial presumptions prior to engaging in Runescape game play. Among these include the usual adventure and combat melees that most players will surely encounter once logged on to Runescape. Initially, this manner of approach may not gain the interest of most players, since they would usually want to play and play first before taking on it in a more serious fashion. But once they do, Runescape toolkits such as RSDemon will be among the programs to look forward to by players.

RSDemon offers a calculator type of approach, providing initial assessments and tactics to help guide the Runescape players be aware of what to expect in the course of their game play. Similar to evaluating the intelligence of co-players or NPC’s in the game to which combat is a certainty, pre-assessment of what to expect, the percentage of hits and damage to inflict and to expect from an encounter can be done beforehand. In such cases, players will be able to note the probability of success and failure of their journey and encounters.

For adventurers, toolkits can be able to provide a guide on where a player is in the Runescape world, particularly the wilderness maps where a lot of unknown encounters can be expected. Considered to be similar to providing calculated solutions from over thousands of possibilities in the game of Runescape, all players are sure to welcome any form of assistance in this game that is taken seriously by millions online.

Treasure hunters are sure to enjoy the presence and assistance of Runescape toolkits as well. Coordinates and marks in the maps to where a player may be heading can be seen in advance through maps provided with the toolkits software. This actually comes from the experience that veteran players have gone through in their own style of game play. Most Runescape toolkits originate from players who have made their own programs to make the game more enjoyable for current and future players of the game.

There will always be of course the issue of presence of spyware that may harm player workstations. Incidentally, none of the assistance or log files of the software are saved, thus, negating the possibility of the existence of such harmful files such as cookies and malware that may be saved into the computer. Everything is purely based guiding and providing information based on calculations from actual experiences of the game by other players in the past. With millions of probabilities, possibilities and expected outputs from the use of such toolkits, players can expect to get the needed help that they would look for to enjoy the game a whole lot more.

Behind the Scenes 2009

Posted by: amber  //  Category: free runescape money, Lores and Histories, Runescape Banks Guide, Runescape Money Making Guide, Runescape Powerleveling

Behind the Scenes 2009

So, the first post of the New Year and you’ll be wondering what the next 12 months in RuneScape will bring. The past year saw the introduction of PvP Worlds, RuneScape High Detail, Summoning, our first Grandmaster quest, combat minigames, and Distractions and Diversions. What can we do to top 2008?

Well, this is the challenge that we’ve set ourselves: 2009 has become our official Upgrade Year! So, what does that mean? It means our New Year’s resolution is to tweak and polish what we’ve already got in the game alongside creating new content. For example:

Doing the ‘little’ jobs that make a big difference (e.g. a ‘You are here’ arrow on the world map) and basically fixing all the annoying little quirks the game has. Things that may be the least glamorous to work on and talk about, but which really add up.
Updating some of the earliest content/quests to bring it up to date, and take advantage of all the features we have added to the game engine since it was originally created. Also, reworking old clues that no longer work now the game is bigger (e.g. ‘Look west of the mountains’ was fine when there was only one mountain, but not now).
Making the interfaces as intuitive, flexible and user-friendly as possible.
Then, after all that, we’ll start looking into abandoned and barely used areas/features of the game, and breathing new life into them.
Of course, we don’t want to JUST do upgrades, so we’re planning to do a mix of upgrades and new content. To achieve this we are planning on going back to releasing approximately four updates per month, which will alternate between upgrades and new content.

We’ve been trawling the forums, pooling opinions from our game teams and inviting everyone at Jagex HQ to voice their opinions on what they’d like to see in an upgraded RuneScape. As a regular player, there will no doubt be at least one feature you’ve always wanted to see introduced, to make your time in RuneScape even better. Chances are that it’s already on our list, but to be on the safe side, why not let us know? We’ll be monitoring the forums, so please tell us what you want to see. We can’t promise we’ll do everything, but we’ll try to incorporate any particular trends we see into our plans, and let you know.

Well, at the end of my first newspost, I just want to thank you all for your continued support through 2008, and I look forward to seeing you all in Gielinor in 2009.

Happy New Year!

Getting Ready To Rumble In Runescape

Posted by: amber  //  Category: Beginners' Guide, free runescape money, Holiday Guides, Lores and Histories, Lumbridge Tutors

Getting Ready To Rumble In Runescape

Runescape addicts should ponder on the idea of players logging on to one server, one game and one objective. Something is going to give and what this is will be anyone’s guess. Normally, this can be termed the survival of the fittest in any case, but in Runescape, it is also the battle of the wisest and fairest. Think about it, simultaneous log-ons to a server and adventuring in different parts of the Runescape world, paths are bound to cross. Once this happens, no one knows if the result would be a friendly greeting or a rough and tumble melee for the strongest and wisest players there are in this addicting online game.

It is senseless to overlook of such a scenario. Maybe rare or depending on the location in the Runescape world to which most players would want to stay, it is hard to divulge the trust towards other players online. Reason behind this is the fact that scams and erring players make trusting in the game a big mistake, especially if they were met in the game itself. This only goes to show how people take the game of Runescape seriously. It technically becomes a part of their lives, needing to log on and check on their status and grab any chance possible to get skill gains or perhaps participate in events that are usually held by game masters.

An old fashioned melee of sorts is to be expected when Runescape players encounter each other in the neutral grounds of the Runescape world. The reaction is only normal since the first thing that would come in the mind of the player is his safety and of course waiting for the next thing that will happen in the game. It is really just one of two things: a friendly acknowledgement or a battle to see who the better player is. Most online games follow the same thinking hence Runescape is not far or entirely different from such a thing to happen.

A Runescape player does not have be a master in the skill to win a confrontation. Tactics and intelligence in battle is still the key element that will spell the difference between conquest and defeat. While players can read the normal movements of NPC programmed characters, it is difficult to read what a co-player would do, especially for player-killers who are seasoned enough to know the run-arounds in spoiling the adventure of normal Runescape players online. It should be remembered; these seasoned players have been around the world and know the places that average players would usually travel to. That is why most players should always be on guard, since no one knows what lies around the corner or the dungeons outside the usual monsters that Runescape has to offer.

The Impact of High Leveled Players In Runescape

Posted by: amber  //  Category: Beginners' Guide, Christmas 2008 Event Guide, free runescape money, Holiday Guides, Lores and Histories

The Impact of High Leveled Players In Runescape

To be the best or at least be among the best will be the ultimate goal that any Runescape player will have in mind. Reason for this is not simply to intimidate other online players but at least get some respect for achieving such levels, a testimony that this player has been religiously playing the game and may possibly be full of experience.

This is what most people cherish the most, the attention and distinction of being an elite player who is obviously a Runescape addict. Investing in the time logged on to the servers is no laughing matter as it will surely take most of a person’s time. While some may find their skills increase faster considering that the presence of autoers and macro software allow them to do a routine action without having to be behind the keyboard all the time. Come to think of it, most online games have the same, but for the sake of clarification, this is not a cheat but is actually an assistant to help speed up the gains as far as skills is concerned.

The best bet for taking our hats off is to the people who get the high levels out of adventuring. Going out in the wild is not an easy undertaking considering that outside the usual evils they provide, there is also the presence of player killers who achieve level-ups through preying on innocent and lower leveled players. However, the adventurers will surely be considered experience gainers as well, as they will be able to learn from possible ambushes and tactics that other veteran players use. This is not to say that their tactics in Runescape should be done as well, but as in anything we do, enhancing such ploys and developing self conceptualized strategies will surely be something that most players will discover in the course of their playing time.

Seeing players who have a +70 or +80 level will be a site to behold and be wary of. For one, this achievement is not done overnight. It was worked on and from all indications; they are tagged as the veteran players who know more of the game than the ones we see wandering off into the wild daily. Good or bad, the distinction remains that they have been around and would know how to handle varying situations at any point of the game in Runescape.

For the lower leveled players, it is not supposed to be a setback or a sign to which they can expect being overplayed in most cases. There are possibilities of even conquering such players if they are good enough to use their wits on how to tactically prey on them as well. There are cases of such and such an achievement will be more meaningful than just pure leveling up. It shall be a distinction of being among the intelligent players ever to play Runescape as well.

Games like Runescape

Posted by: amber  //  Category: Fist of Guthix, Holiday Guides, Lores and Histories, runescape, Runescape Community

Games like Runescape

 

Runescape is a great game and one of the most popular and most widely played games in all of cyberspace. Runescape is a relatively new game and was first launched in 2001 by the United Kingdom Jagex.ltd. Runescape can be defined as being a massively multiplayer online role playing game. Runescape is quite an intense and a massive game in which a player controls a single individual character which he has to upgrade through a lot of quests and missions and through the accomplishments of various goals. The best thing about Runescape is that it offers a wide gamut of possibilities right from trading items to controlling prices in the virtual world of Runescape. Runescape is one game which has held the fantasy of a whole host of online gamers and continues to interest and enchant a sizeable population of the online role playing game fraternity.

Runescape is a very unique game in two aspects. The foremost aspect which makes Runescape such a viable proposition for online gamers is its free nature. A large chunk of players of Runescape do so through free memberships. Free memberships offer a large part of the game for users to play and most functions and aspects of the game are available to users and players. The second aspect which furthers the popularity of Runescape is that it is an entirely browser based game and the user does not need to download any software or any file on his own computer. In simple words, Runescape can be played wholly on the internet and all the player’s accomplishments and achievements in the game are saved directly on Runescape servers which are operational throughout the world.

There are quite a few games like Runescape on the internet and most prominent among them is the World of Warcraft series which is also a massively multiplayer online role playing game. Games like Guild Wars, Star Wars, Silkroad online and Maple story are some of the other games. These games are in all probability games like Runescape but the major point of difference in these games is that these games offer almost no free membership or access. Users have to pay to play these games and also Runescape is said to the only browser based game on the internet right now. Another thing that Runescape offers is the amazing detail and the quality which has been provided and most other games like Runescape compromise on this essential factor.

Games like Runescape rarely offer the massive number of players that Runescape offers and it is not surprising to see around a few hundred thousand users online during a session of play on any Runescape server. Thus Runescape is one of the best massively multiplayer online role playing games available and is also one game which is constantly updated and is a source of true pleasure for most gamers. One more thing that works against most of the games like Runescape is that it is imperative to buy the game in a store and then also pay a monthly subscription. This is where Runescape scores and scores big time.

Runescape Autobots

Posted by: amber  //  Category: free runescape money, Lores and Histories, Lumbridge Tutors, runescape, Runescape Autofighter

Runescape Autobots

Internet gaming has evolved a lot and today internet gaming is considered to be the most popular form of gaming in the world. There is such a lot of variety in games on the internet and most games in the internet offer reasonable graphics and are quite a pleasure to play. One game which has made a huge impact on the online gaming community is the role playing game titled Runescape. Runescape is essentially a massively multiplayer online role playing game and has been developed by the United Kingdom based company, Jagex. Runescape is said to be the second most popular online game in the world with the first being the acclaimed World of Warcraft series. Runescape is set in a fantasy world and user has to take control of a single individual character and complete various quests and tasks and in doing so develop this character.

There are many aspects which have changed in gaming and there are many new aspects which have come up over the passage of time and one of these new aspects is the use of Autobots. Autobots or macros are programs which automatically carry out different functions which otherwise would be under the control of the user. Autobots and macros are considered as cheats and are frowned upon by Runescape purists but they are being increasingly used and have become a part of the game in most aspects. Thought Autobots are termed as cheats or unfair means there is virtually no control exercised over the use of these and thus Autobots and macros continue to grow unhampered.

Runescape Autobots are varied in types and there are Autobots and macros like an Autominer or an Autotalker. The former as the name suggests automatically mines ore and metal for the user and the latter is a very amusing macro which can repeat a string of text typed in the text window word for word and is a very useful tool for selling items in the many different worlds present in Runescape. Autobots are commonly available on internet sites and there are about close to twenty thousand searches that Google will throw up for a routine search keyword like Autobots for Runescape or Runescape Autobots.

Runescape Autobots are very readily available on most search engines and also there are a lot of sites related to Runescape and these sites provide a whole host of different Autobots and macro programs. Autobots as stated above are illegal in Runescape and the controlling company Jagex bans hundred and thousands of accounts every month for the use of Autobots and the use of macro programs. Thus if a user is using Autobots in his account then his account is at a risk of being banned and thus there is never any surety of continuing the game unhampered. One more thing that works against widespread use of Autobots is that a lot of sites offering Autobots knowingly offer a Trojan Autobot which infects a user’s computer as the Autobots need to be downloaded.

The Eyes of Glouphrie

Posted by: cool  //  Category: Lores and Histories, Making Runescape Money

Start: Talk to Brimstail in his dungeon in the Gnome Stronghold.
Skills: Level 5 Construction and 46 Magic.
Quests: The Grand Tree.
What You Need: Maple log, Oak log, Mud Rune, Knife, Saw, Hammer, Bucket, Pestle and Mortar.

Recommended Items: Various teleports to and from the Gnome Stronghold and Yanille.
Recommended Skills: Level 13 Runecrafting and 45 Woodcutting.

——————————————————————————–

Getting Started

Here’s a map of the start point:

Gliders will put you on the top floor of the Grand Tree.
Spirit Tree in the center of the Stronghold.
Talk to Brimstail, who will start by talking about his new pet. Those cuddly creatures that wander in and around the Grand Tree.

Curiosity will of course get the better of you and, as with all things that will get you into trouble, you are nosey thus ask him what he is doing there.

Brimstail will explain to you he investigates Thaumaturgy, researches the Arcane and, as if nothing else matters, attempts to explain the inexplicable.

You, of course, cannot help but blow your own trumpet, and thus a conversation about magic ensues.

You will come to the obvious conclusion Gnomes aren’t very well know for their magical abilities, and sure enough Brimstail will agree with you.

Extremely wise as you are, you will gladly hear the history of Gnomes and their magic, as it is crucial to understanding the Arcane

Brimstail’s Story

You can do one of two things: Read all while doing the quest, or click through the conversation and read it below.

Well, the most famous Gnomish Mage of all got into a bit of trouble. Most gnomes don’t really talk about him, other than telling stories about him as if he was some sort of boogie-man. Ridiculous! He was a gnome like any other, he sounds like a fascinating character. He was one the King Healthorg the Great’s advisors during the Grand Migration. But he was exiled after the Goblin Wars. Well I’m not really sure. This was all before I was born and no-one talks about what happened to Glouphrie these days. Did he do something wrong? Well, maybe. I’m not so sure. As it happens I’ve been looking into that part of our History. All I’ve managed to establish was that he was particularly interested in optics and light magic. I have also found out though he was generally disliked by other gnomes – his moniker was ‘Glouphrie the Untrusted’. Oaknock the Engineer and Glouphrie didn’t like each other either. Oaknock was an engineer and architect. Very famous. There are statues to him around the place – his reputation amongst gnomes is second only to King Healthrog himself. He built most of the Stronghold you know.

And here Brimstail’s story ends….. for now. He now wonders whether you would like to see something and the sends you to the next cave to look around.

In this cave next door you will find a few interesting things: A working machine of some sort…

A Crystal Bowl…

And the remains of a broken statue of Glouphrie the Untrusted

Now walk back to Brimstail and tell him what you have found. He will of course see the Elven origin of the Singing Bowl and he does recognize the machine as being built by Oaknock.

Brimstail is at a loss about everything else but he does know about a person that might know a bit more.

A man you have visited before on a mission for King Narnode Shareen: Hazelmere.

You obviously break out in a sweat, afraid to use the dictionary again to understand Hazelmere. Brimstail, however, seems to think he would love to talk about the Old Days and if he really wants to talk to you, he will surely find a way. One last request from Brimstail though: Find out anything you can about Glouphrie. And you are off on your merry way. Should you have your house in Yanille now is the time to go there: A short walk from where Hazelmere lives. If not, either with a Watch Tower teleport or a Ardougne teleport you can get in the vicinity of Hazelmere’s peninsula. Or you could use the Fairy Rings with the combination CLS that will take you to Hazelmere’s house, though you would need to travel to Zanaris to use this.

Hazelmere can be found upstairs in the building on the peninsula.

Walk to his house and strike up a conversation. The conversation that will follow is very long. You can click right through it: The whole story is written down for you. At first it is a bit one-sided as the all too familiar Bla-Bla-Bla, is all Hazelmere has to offer. But then it seems as if Hazelmere is poking around in your brain and all of a sudden:

Totally amazed at speaking without speaking but by thinking, you start blabbering away until Hazelmere orders you to clear your mind, which is close to impossible for you. Thus having nightmares about winged lobsters, pink lobsters and such you reach the conclusion you can’t do it. And Hazelmere tells you to shut up and listen.

Hazelmere’s Story

Let us travel back in time, to the time you humans call the Fourth Age. King Healthorg had become King. The elves mysteriously decided to travel west, leaving most of Kandarin open for conquest. The humans weren’t here yet, only King Healthorg and the gnomes to the north, and a collection of Goblin tribes to the south. Both armies moved to claim the lands, and were of course destined to meet in battle. And so it came to pass the Goblin and Gnome armies met at the Battle of Atarisundri. Both side faced each other on the Battlefield. A bloody battle was in prospect, our gnomes were brave, but we were no match for the mass of brute goblin stupidity, but Glouphrie and King Healthorg had devised a plan: If you don’t lead an invincible army – pretend you do. And so, Glouphrie created an army of illusory Giant tortoises, knowing that goblins would be scared of anything bigger than they were.

Goblin: “Big Boss didn’ say nuffin ‘bout de nomiez havin’ monsta tortisses! Dey be huges! Tortisses too scary and pointy. We runz away!

Hazelmere: Sadly, the golden times were not destined to last for long. There was once a very special Spirit Tree in the Stronghold. Silver as a birch, old and wise – I considered him a friend. I called him Argento, his true name was unpronounceable. He was the first Spirit Tree I had befriended, and the one I knew the best. I would sometimes travel, visiting and finding other Spirit trees, and during one such trip I was filled with a great sense of foreboding. I felt a shadow pass over me, and a tingling in the air, even though the weather was fine and dry. Then I felt a sudden pain, as if the Anima Mundi was crying out with the loss of a favored child. And I knew that one of the Old Ones had died, and I had lost a friend.

Someone had been hiding his death. I talked to Oaknock and he was incensed. He immediately blamed Glouphrie, and although Oaknock could be rather irrational when it came to Glouphrie, they never saw eye to eye, I knew he was right this time. Glouphrie had used his magicks to hide the truth from all of us. Oaknock had made a machine – an anti-illusion machine, with some help from the elves. He prepared it, and summoned the advisors to Argento.

King Healthorg: “Why have you summoned us here?”
Oaknock: “You’ll see sire. Switch the machine on!”
King Healthorg: “What is the meaning of this?”
Oaknock: “The Silver Spirit Tree is dead! Glouphrie has been using his foul arts to mask the truth! What other secrets has he been keeping?”
King Healthorg: “Explain yourself!”
Glouphrie: “I live to serve you sire. I work for the good of us all”
King Healthorg: “How can lying to your fellow gnomes be ‘Good’?
Glouphrie: “Some things are best kept secret.”
King Healthorg: “Enough! How can I trust a gnome who hides things from me?”
Glouphrie: “No gnome can blame you for what you do not know.”
King Healthorg: “Glouphrie, you are no longer my advisor. Leave this place.
Glouphrie: “Only the naïve believe they can rule without someone like me. Your empire will crack and gnomes will become but a joke.

Hazelmere: And so Glouphrie left and traveled with some companions to a place they called Arposandra. We have heard nothing but rumours about them since. Nobody knows for certain where it is, somewhere rocky I suppose. The rumour is that after founding his new home, Glouphrie used his magicks to shroud the city in mist. Arposandra may not exist at all, however I suspect that Glouphrie is still around, one way or another. Just call it Gnomish intuition.

And now back to present day Runescape and the thing that troubles us most: The machine

You now can head back to Brimstail. Be sure to stop off at a bank along the way, because there are a few items you will need for the next part: An Oak log and a Maple log, a Saw, Hammer, Bucket, Knife, Pestle and Mortar and a Mud Rune.

Enter Brimstail’s Dungeon again and strike up a conversation. You will relate all you have heard from Hazelmere. Brimstail concludes the machine emits an anti-illusion glamour. In all your innocence you wonder what that can be, to which Brimstail answers:

And your inevitable retort:

Like Hazelmere, Brimstail remembers he has some of those crystal disks, but before he can give them to you, you see movement behind Brimstail and at the same time Brimstail hears a banging noise. The machine broke down and it looks like sabotage. Suspicion all around because only three people knew of the existence of it. Luckily common sense prevails:

And, with the logic of Sherlock Holmes, a culprit is found: An invisible one.

Strong reasoning brings the both of you to an inevitable conclusion: The anti-illusion machine was sabotaged to keep something from being discovered. Thus the machine needs to be repaired.

Go to the next room and inspect the machine, try to repair it and you will see what you need: 2 types of logs and a resin based glue that smells of pine, and contains flecks of gray powder that glint and sparkle.

The easiest way to get sap from an evergreen (actually, just about any “pointy” tree will work fine) is north of Falador. Plenty of them around and a quick Falador teleport will put you very close to them, a glory teleport to Al Kharid, and the glider back is pretty fast traveling. Use your knife on one of them with an empty bucket in your inventory and it will automatically fill with sap. Grind down a Mud rune with your Pestle and Mortar and your will end up with Magic glue.

Now head back to Brimstail’s Dungeon and you can start repairing the machine. Once fixed there still is one problem remaining: The machine is locked and you need to figure out a way to get to the control panel that will make it work.

To unlock the machine you need to look at the sign on the left hand side next to the machine. On it you will find a shape in different colors. Red is 1, Yellow 3 and so on till the end of the stacks.

To open the front panel you need to equal a number (random for each player), for this you can only use one specific crystal.

Here is the trick to solve the puzzle: A circle has one side, a triangle three sides, a square four and a pentagon five. The different colors decide the numerical value of each of the crystal shapes. Red coin: 1 side times 1 color value equals 1 numerical value. A yellow square is 3 in color value and has 4 sides so the numerical value would be 3*4=12. This you can do with every shape and thus get the value you need to complete the puzzle. In the picture above you will need to get the value 16 in one crystal. 4 sides to a square and 4 in color value would do the trick. Or in this case you would need a square, green crystal. In this screen, the door will automatically open once the correct value is entered. Here is a list of the shape values:

Red Circle = 1
Red Triangle = 3
Red Square = 4
Red Pentagon = 5

Orange Circle = 2
Orange Triangle = 6
Orange Square = 8
Orange Pentagon = 10

Yellow Circle = 3
Yellow Triangle = 9
Yellow Square = 12
Yellow Pentagon = 15

Green Circle = 4
Green Triangle = 12
Green Square = 16
Green Pentagon = 20

Blue Circle = 5
Blue Triangle = 15
Blue Square = 20
Blue Pentagon = 25

Indigo Circle = 6
Indigo Triangle = 18
Indigo Square = 24
Indigo Pentagon = 30

Violet Circle = 7
Violet Triangle = 21
Violet Square = 28
Violet Pentagon = 35

Brimstail will happily give you a certain amount of crystals. Should you need more you can try and ask for more but once you have enough to work the machine or enough to get other shapes through the Crystal changer he will not give more of them. On the right hand side of the center panel is a “Crystal changer” you can add up to 3 different crystals in the machine. On the exchanging machine to make them change you must click on the 2-way arrows between the two vertical squares. If the counter value is too high, the machine will reject them, and put them back in your inventory. If the value of counters is valid then a combination of other counters equal to the value that you have put in will appear in the 2×2 grid. You can keep on clicking the 2-way arrow until the counter selection that appears is what you want. To confirm a transaction, click on the green ‘V’. To cancel a transaction, click on the red ‘X’.

The operating panel is the same thing again but with a twist. Now you need to complete three different puzzles. With the other machine when you enter a counter it will appear in the top empty box within the range that has been selected. If the value is too small, an arrow will appear to the right of the counter pointing upwards. If the value is too high, a similar arrow will appear, but pointing down this time. If the value is correct, the square to the right of the corner will turn green.

And what is more you will need, in succession, 1 crystal for the first lock, 2 crystals for the second lock and 3 crystals for the third lock. You must fill all of them at the same time or the lock won’t open. On the operating panel screen once all the squares have turned green you must click the green ‘V’ to unlock it. This is an example of what it could look like:

The numbers in question like the one on the front panel are random and different for each player.

Once the machine is up and running both you and Brimstail are overjoyed, but there is one fly in the ointment. Remember what the machine did? Anti-illusion? Well here is the proof: Those cuddly creatures? Brimstail’s pet? It changes…

And sure enough after some more Holmes like deduction it is decided these creatures formerly known as cuddly are nothing less than spies in the service of the Arposandrans.

Brimstail suggests you go to King Narnode Sheen to relate the story to him. Well, you need to go there but first take a short detour: It will save some time.

What you need to do now is to kill six wandering spies. The first one is at your feet, or at least at Brimstail’s, use whatever means necessary to rid yourself of this enormously dangerous adversary and kick the living daylights out of it. You could bury the only thing this creature drops: bones. It shouldn’t be much of a problem with the one hit point they have. Exit the cave and look for victim number two at the front gate of the Stronghold. You could have a waiting period, as with all the others you need to kill. If a fellow player killed this evil beast just as you walk up, you need to wait about 15-20 seconds before the next one appears. Now take a leisurely walk up to the Spirit Tree to rid yourself of number three. One more outside and that one is north of the Swamp in the Tortoise Training Area. Now you can go into the Grand Tree and talk to King Narnode Sheen.

After relaying a very short version of what has happened this is what the King answers:

He then orders you to seek out and destroy the rest of the little critters.

Well, since you already did finish off four of them you need only find two more. One is at King Narnode Sheens feet. Kick it, hit it, put an arrow in it, it doesn’t matter what as long as it doesn’t see another sun-set it is ok. Only one more to go, and this one means climbing some ladders. Up to the glider platform and dispatch the last one to kingdom come.

Now find King Narnode Sheen again and strike up your last conversation. In this the King will worry about future things: Why are they spying on him and his people? What are they planning? You as faithful helper will of course offer your assistance should the need arise. And with his last parting gift:

You will have finished this history-ridden quest.

Rewards

1 Small Crystal Seed
12,000 Magic, 2,500 Woodcutting, 6,000 Runecrafting, and 250 Construction experience.
2 Quest Points
The Making of… the Crystal Saw

Once King Narnode Sheen has handed you the Small Crystal Seed head back to Brimstail and enter the cave. Now go to the middle of the next room and cross the Crystal Bridge to the Singing Bowl. Use the first option and you will see yourself charging the seed and thus turning it into a Crystal Saw. The Crystal Saw adds +3 to your construction level thus making it possible to make items well above your present level. It even works in combination with other construction enhancing materials like tea and stew.

The Crystal Saw has 28 uses, and once you have made 28 pieces of furniture with it, it will revert back to its seed form. You can recharge it by bringing it back to the Crystal Bowl in Brimstail’s Cave and using the seed with the bowl.

If you happen to lose your crystal saw or small crystal seed, you can get another small crystal seed by talking to Brimstail. Select the option: “Hello, just wanted a chat” and he will give one to you.
