Runescape Grand Exchange was Not a Bad Thing

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Uncategorized

Runescape released the Grand Exchange and things went wild. Players were ruined the economy was dead. Everyone one was going to quit playing, blah, blah, blah. “It’s just not fair” they cried, “they set the trade limit to 3k, I can’t drop trade with myself anymore, what will I ever do?” The answer is real simple, just deal with it. The Grand Exchange is a huge area were people put up items they are selling or bid on items they want to buy. Every item has a set minimum and maximum price that does change with supply and demand. This set price prevents people from scamming unsuspecting victims out of their hard earned gold.
I know there were a lot of players that made their money on Runescape by merchanting items they bought from someone way under price and sold to someone else for a ridiculously high price. So when the Grand Exchange was released those types of players were crushed. I am glad too. I think it’s great that now in the trade window it shows what an item is worth and will not let you pay too much for the item or to less for it either. Another great thing about the grand exchange is that it made autoing way less profitable in hopes to deter players from using such programs to gain an unfair advantage in the game. Items that a player has gotten are easier to sell now that the G.E. is here. A player can put an item up for sale in the G.E. and have the items seen by everyone playing the game that is at the G.E. no matter what world you are on.

Buying items is much easier now for the same reason that selling them is easier there is just a bigger group of people to sell to. This allows me to sell my items much quicker than standing around in a bank trying to sell it or on the forums and allow for more time to gather items I am going to sell. I have honestly made more money now that the Grand Exchange is here. I think the majority of the players feel the same way. I think they are glad that they now have more of an opportunity to gain the rare items they have always wanted without the fear of being scammed out of million of gold.

Runescape Player Killing

Posted by: runescape  //  Category: Beginners' Guide

Are you the person who likes to have a lot of fun while playing games? Runescape has the answer to this player killing. Runescape features a special area in the game, where player-to-player combat is allowed it’s called 芒鈧揟he Wilderness. The Wilderness, to put it in place, is the exciting part of Runescape.

When player killing, there are certain rules that are applied to the wilderness. For example, you are stopped from attacking or being attacked by certain combat level characters dependant on the level of The Wilderness your in. The further you venture into The Wilderness, the more The Wilderness level is, the greater the gap of combat for PKing. If you don’t understand that very well, here is an example.

Zezima is level 54 combat,
Goerg is level 53 combat,

Zezima and Goerg can fight each other in Wilderness Level 1.
Zezima moves to Wilderness Level 2.

They both are no longer able to combat each other as the Wilderness Level is 2. The range between the two characters combat level is 1, and so they are denied combat. If however, Zezima was level 55, or Goerg was level 52, then they would be able to fight in Wilderness Level 2 also. Get it?

There’s also another little trick in successful player-killing. Many people group together in order to kill a single player and/or group. The reason for this is,
a) If multiple people attack one player he can be killed quicker,
b) Certain combat abilities are stronger over others.

Let me explain reason b).
There’s a circle of combat where different combat types are more effective at combating others. This is how it goes:

Fighter > Ranger
Ranger > Mage
Mage > Fighter

So basically, a fighter has a better chance of killing a ranger.
A ranger has a better chance of killing a mage.
A mage has a better chance of killing a fighter.

This allows groups of all three to become really effective when fighting in the Wilderness although there are also disadvantages with grouping. Sometimes you team mate my go against you, and kill you in battle, or, when you do kill someone in group, you can’t seem to share the loot equally.

There’s also another rule of PKing. If you are in The Wilderness, and you attack someone (not if they attack you) you gain a skull above your head. This means that you’ve aggressed on someone, meaning you’ve attacked them. If you then die with the skull on your head, you lose all of the items in your inventory (bar one).

If someone attacks you, and you die, you’ll keep the three most valuable items in your inventory.

There are some cool things about The Wilderness too, for example the strong monsters you can find in it. The Wilderness contains some of the wildest, most fierce some monsters in the game, for example, Green Dragons, and Giants etc. It is arguable one of the best places for combat training.

Overall, The Wilderness is a very exciting part of Runescape, and should be tried by all (even the pacifists of you all!) You can risk losing items, but it doesn’t matter, it’s worth it for the fun!
