Advisors

Posted by: runescape  //  Category: Beginners' Guide

Once you are out and about in Lumbridge, you can call on Roddeck - a useful gentleman who is happy to offer his advice - at any time with one click of the advisor button. This button is situated to the left of the logout button.

Clicking on this question mark icon will open up the advisor system: a list of every subject that Roddeck feels you would be interested in, based on where you are, what you are doing, your current levels and even what you are holding. Roddeck knows a great deal about a variety of subjects, from skills to combat, money-making to banking, gaining health to burying bones; often it is worth just browsing the advice he offers to build up a full and comprehensive knowledge of the early game.

The advice that Roddeck offers comes in four separate forms. The first is from the man himself: by clicking on “Ask Roddeck for advice” you will get some succinct words from Roddeck about your chosen subject. These will most often be direct answers to the questions highlighted in yellow in the Advisors System.

You will also be able to “Read more on the website”, which will open a separate tab in your browser. On this tab you will find the relevant Knowledge Base page for that subject, offering more comprehensive advice, should you need it.

You can access tutorials, which will take you through, step-by-step, how to perform a particular action; for example, “Tutorial: Using the bank” will guide you to a nearby bank and then show you how to deposit and withdraw a leaflet. The tutorials can only be accessed in the starting area.

Finally, Roddeck will offer to plot an arrow to a nearby and useful area. If you are after somewhere to mine, fish or simply get some free stuff, an arrow will appear both on your minimap and your world map, directing you to a suitable area.

Once you have finished receiving advice from Roddeck, simply click on the ‘x’ at the top-right of the interface and continue to explore!

Guide to 99 Fishing, Cooking, and Firemaking

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Runescape Skills

Dedicated to Fouisgras the rs character. This is how I got to 86 fishing and 99 cooking, until jagex bansticked me for a BS reason. Enjoy the guide and to your prosparity in rs.
————————————————————————–
Fishing is the basis for all runescape money made via skills. Many will disagree, but this is my belief. With 99 fishing, one can aquire 99 cooking and much gold. With a time investment, you can achieve anything in runescape with 99 fishing.

NOTE: The calculation of these levels is rough. It all depends on how many you fish you burn, how many salmon you get compared to trout, ect, ect. There is a hidden meaning to this guide though.

THERE IS 1 GOLDEN RULE. SAVE EVERYTHING. Most of the beginning fish will be saved to gain valuable cooking exp which will save much time and money in the future! Save everything! Including those 39 shrimp from level 1-5!

Lets start off with level 1- 0exp shall we?
—————————————–
Levels 1-5= Shrimp with a small net. No brainer. I recommend south of Al Kharid Bank as there is a bank very close, and as I say above, you must save everything. You must fish 39 shrimp.

Levels 6-25= Sardines bait fishing with a fishing rod and some bait. Fairly annoying task. 39 Sardines to level 10, at which you will catch 223 Herring using the same method. Probably will be more of a mix between the herring and sardines once you hit level 10. either way it’ll be around that number.

26-55= Fly fishing is a must here. I strongly reccommend barbarian village and banking your fish at the edgeville bank to the north. To reach 30 for salmon you’ll need 111 trout. After that, you’ll need about 3k feathers to be safe. odds are you’ll only use like 2.5k of them but you’ll be catching a mixture between 2.2k salmon and 3k trout.

56-90= If you want levels and you want them fast, then the only way to go here is LOBSTERS!!! Head down to Catherby and fish lobsters to 68. At 68 you’ll make your move to your new perminate home! THE FISHING GUILD!! Where you’ll be spending what seems like eternity for the next few weeks. Continue lobsters at the guild until 90. 57,553 lobsters for this baby. GOOD NEWS! When you cook all those, and the stuff before, you’ll be around 92 cooking.

91-99= In order to finish off this hellish quest you need sharks from 91-99. Only way to do it. I wouldnt suggest sharks before this as the loads take too long and you get more exp faster with lobsters. 69,892 shark. Have fun. GOOD NEWS THOUGH! Once you cook some of those, you now have 99 cooking. And 99 fishing. Congrats. More good news! For level 99 cooking you’ll only need around 29k of those sharks, so that leaves you with around 41k sharks left to sell! If you get 900ea for these (easy to sell for 900ea), you now have 36.9mil to use up.

LETS GO GET 99 FIREMAKING EY? EASY LEVEL 99 AND A REALLY COOL CAPE!

Same as before, start level 1, 0 exp
———————————-
Levels 1-15= Get off your bum and go cut some regular trees down. Merry christmas, you now have lvl 15 fm. 61 normal logs.

16-30= Same as before, go out and cut 183 oak logs and burn them.

31-45= 535 Willow logs this time. If you have a bit of work ethic in your body go cut them yourself. If not, who cares? You have 36.9mil to use up. Go buy em or something.

46-60= Go buy 1,573 Maple logs. Not like it’s gunna burn a hole in your wallet or anything….

61-99= Your home free buddy. Go buy 63,016 yew logs for 290ea NO MORE OR CASTRATE THOSE NOOB MERCHANTS WHO PUSHED THE PRICE! Ahem….uhm yes.. go get 63,016 yew logs for 290ea costing you 18.75mil.

Congrats you have 99 Fishing, Cooking, and Firemaking and 18.15mil left. Go buy yourself a pretty hat or something.

The real reason of this guide is not to show you how to get easy 99’s. Partially because there are no easy 99’s. It was to show you what the power of a little bit of work ethic can do. If you do this, you’ve been through hell and back and you can tell people what you’ve done while they stare in amazement at your capes and your work ethic. Everyone benifits. Money, respect, and a few purdy capes. Enjoy yourself.

Runescape Chat Effects

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Uncategorized

Did you know that you could change the colors and add animations or effects to your text? I’m sure you have seen someone do this at some point in the game. A lot of times, people use this tip to draw attention to things they are selling. In any of these colors, animations, or effects, they code always goes before the message.

First, I will name the colors I know.
» Red
» Cyan
» Purple
» White
» Green
» Purple

An example would be; “red: Zammy owns you!!!” or “cyan: Saradomin Pwns you!!!”. Now I will name the effects and what they do.

Runescape Chat

glow1: Text fades red to blue.
glow2: Text fades red to purple to blue.
glow3: Text fades white to green to blue.
flash1: Text cycles red to yellow quickly.
flash2: Text cycles blue to cyan quickly.
flash3: Text cycles green to light green quickly.

Now I will name the animations;

Slide: Text slides from top to bottom.
scroll: Text scrolls right to left.
shake: Text shakes up and down.
wave: Text waves up and down.
wave2: Text waves slowly from left to right.

Runescape Chat 2

You could mix these together and get many different colors. Some examples would be;

Cyan: scroll: <>< <>< <>< Fishie! <>< <>< <><
Green: wave: ~~~~~~OCEAN! ~~~~~
flash3: slide: bsell 100K for all!

You can have a lot of fun with these Runescape Chat Effects. If you’re bored fishing, then why not try the first or second example I put there. It gets everyone pumped up and ready to fish more! Using it for selling is also a good trick. If you have 40 people there, typing all yellow text and you put red: Selling full rune! You’re going to get noticed. The idea with selling is to get the word out, and if you use a red text in an ocean of yellow, which is going to get read first, all the yellow, or the red words? The red ones of course.

Runescape Chat 3

I really like the scroll: animation. You can do quite a few things with it. I will name some of my favorite things for it.

The animation scroll: makes the words scroll across the screen going from left to right. Therefore, if you make things face that way, it looks like they are walking, swimming, or flying.

If you fishing, of course making a big long stream of <>< can be fun. Something like this:

<>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><

I like to leave a little space so that it has one last fish trailing behind the group.

I also like to make what looks like Kirby. There are many you could make of him, so let me show you them.

< (^. ^<) (>^. ^<) < (^. ^)> (>^. ^)> These are the most common. Therefore, if you were to take the first one and add some words you would get something like this:

< (^. ^<) ~KIRBY! ~

This would scroll across the screen and look awesome. There are a lot of little things you can make using text, and far too many to name. Some of the more common ones are; =), :), = (, :(, and so on. As I said, I could spend loads of hours here writing all the faces you can make using the = and : signs.

Runescape Chat 4

Now that you have a basic idea of chat colors, effects, animations, and a few emotions, why not go out and try them? Who knows, you might even invent some of your own!

Happy Playing!

Runescape Money Making Guide Part2

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Runescape Money Making Guide

The second part of my Runescape money making guide.

Now that you have earned 50-100k you are well on your way to making your first million!! This chapter will primarily focus on easy ways to make your money grow. Remember what I said earlier “It takes money to make money.” If you have not followed some of the ideas in Chapter 1, it is a must that you do so!

What is Bulk??

When trying to make money you always need to deal with bulk items.Bulk is simply a lot of items…generally over 1,000 of one item or more. So 5k feathers would be considered bulk. This goes for any item in the game.

When dealing with non-stack- able items such as ore or fish, you will always want to deal with bank notes. Without a bank note you could only carry 26 pieces of coal in your inventory. When you withdraw the coal in a note, you can carry for exam- ple 5k coal, and it will only take up one spot in your inventory bag.

If you notice an item is constantly being sold, but nobody is buying it, then there is a low demand for the item.On the other hand, if you notice people standing around the bank, screaming, ?Buying XXX,? and nobody is selling it, then you will learn that this item is in high demand.

Now it’s important to realize that this is just the general idea of how supply and demand work. You obviously wouldn’?t want to go by 3k of an item just because one person is looking for it (unless that one person is buying 3k of that item;)

You need to observe these trends to see how often people are asking to buy them, and how often people are selling them.

There are however a few items that have remained constant for at least 2 years in Runescape:

Lobster.
Coal.
Iron.
Feathers.
Herbs.
IronOre

I often use this same process and principles with Iron ore. I will travel to different worlds and buy as much Iron ore as I possibly can. I will only buy for 50-70 gp each, occasionally I will purchase for higher prices if the seller has a large amount (3k or more).

I generally offer to buy for 50 gp each. If the seller wants more than 60 gp I will simply refuse to buy it, and will log out of the world and into a new one. (Trust me there are plenty of sellers out there, lol). In world 1 you can always sell Iron ore for 100gp each. I normally try to buy ore in the Fallador bank, simply because this town is centralized with miners since the bank is so close to the mining guild and the mines southwest of Fally.

Cooked Lobsters

Cooked Lobsters currently are selling anywhere from 200-250gp each. Generally though you can find sellers that will sell Lobbies (Lobsters) for 125-150 each. These are the sellers you are looking for. One of the best ways to find a cheap lobby seller is to travel to Karamja (or Catherby if you are a member) and go the the fishing docks located there. You should sell all at the highest prices and buy a little higher than the lowest price.

That would conclude Chapter 2. Hope to see you in the next chapter!
