Why high levels are not so good

As you can see by my free level 115 Runescape post many people want high levels and all common sense goes out of the window, people will risk their own account in order to cheat at the game and get a high level quickly.

To me its like playing snakes and ladders and starting at the top, whats the point, to me playing a game is the process of playing the game not the end result, if you play snakes and ladders and start at the top you win straight away, thats cool its nice to win but after a few games like that it s very boring.

Runescape is the same, if you had 126 combat and all skills 99 what would you do, go out mine some rune make some armour and sell it, make some money start a phat collection kill all the low level players ice barrage some noobs then do it all again, that sounds fun but for how long, if you spend a long time doing all the skills with no increase in your level you are going to get bored very quickly, if you don’t have the patience to train your skills for levels you will not have the patience to train your skills for rank.

I am level 122 now and I have 99 attack and strength, my defence is 93 so I have something to work on and head for a target of 99 but what do i do when I get 99 defence? I have no reason to train combat, well that is a lie I am 87 slayer so I can train that, I have 91 range and 95 mage so I can train that, when they are 99 what can I do then I can fight when I want and train other skills when I want, I am a bit concerned that I will have no reason to train when all my stats are 99 but until then I can work hard and really earn every level I get.

So don’t try to cheat and get that illusive (non existent) free high level account, buckle down and enjoy getting every level that you get and be proud that it is all your work that got you there.

I don’t care if another player can do something that I cant, I know I will be able to do it soon if I want and work hard to get there.

Free level 115 runescape account (Members)

I have been looking around the internet for sites that offer free Runescape accounts and hacks and cheats for Runescape, Don’t worry I have taken precautions I have the latest Virus Scanner 2 firewalls hardware and software, anti spyware and malware software and on a dedicated computer using Firefox web browser.

I was surprised how many peoples dads work for Jagex, on one Forum 4 out of 5 peoples dads worked for Jagex surprisingly no mums always dads, oh and the odd cousin who was Zezima, yes Zezima has hundreds of cousins all around the world.

I was also surprised that the account reset facility was always a free email account AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail etc.

Whats even more strange is that all these Jagex relations were always calling each other scammers and that they are the only official one.

So there are hundreds of genuine relatives of disloyal Jagex employees all offering to give you free accounts, upgrade your account to members or give you free full dragon and millions of GP for no gain for themselves.

Either there are a lot of nice people out there that want to go around helping random strangers or a lot of people who want to steal the account of greedy and impatient Runescape players.

Now think about it which do you believe, do you think sending your account username and password to a free email address surrounded by some other random characters will get you into someone else’s account or do you think it will send your details to a 14 year old kid in Canada trying to steal your account, well the only way you will find out is when you can not log into your account.

Never send your password or username to any email address even if it looks genuine, Jagex will NEVER I repeat NEVER ask for or need your password to access your account.

It is funny to read these forums and see all the scammers trying to convince each other that they are genuine and the others are not, all using bad grammer and poor grasp of writing skills, but be warned even accessing these sites can compromise your account, I used a totally separate computer and took all the precautions listed above but was still careful before clicking any links.

Runescape is fun and to lose all your hard work because of greed and wanting a faster level will spoil your fun, keep your password safe and don’t even tell your best friend, best friends come and go.

Barrows Armour when and where to use

Barrows armour is very good armour found as a common drop from the Barrows mini game chest, many people say it is a rare drop, read my Barrows guides and see how I change it from being a rare drop to a common drop.

The Armour has individual uses and I will list the main ones here, they all degrade and need repairing after about 15 hours of constant use, I repair it in my house I take 300k and have plenty of change when it is all repaired, if you have a NPC repair it for you it can work out rather expensive 330K I think.

I have all sets of Barrows armour and will get some screenies soon.

I will start with the cheapest, Karil, karil uses a 2 handed crossbow, in the barrow, fighting him he hits fast and hard and his shots can reduce your agility, losing agility is no big deal unless you use the shortcut to get to the temple on the Salve to pray between runs.

I only use his armour when fighting mage based monsters, Bloodvelds, Infernal mages, Aberrant Specters etc. I do not wear the coif as the Mind helmet has better mage defence, his crossbow has little use because bolt racks are dear and can only be won in barrows bought from an npc in the port Phasmytus (sp) or players, it is a popular weapon for the fight caves mini game.

Ahrims I never use the staff as the special reduces your opponents strength, when using mage I don’t get hit anyway so its pretty pointless. I wear it when doing slayer tasks that require mage to attack, metal dragons mainly, it is also the unofficial uniform for ancient mages.

Torag, Torags armour has the best defence of all in Runescape, the helmet is the most important part of the set as this has the greatest defence bonus compared to other melee armour, I never use the hammers they hit fairly hard but they are very slow and are 2 handed so you can not wear a shield, the special reduces run energy so may be useful in the wildy but not recommended as an attack means, full Torag with whip and rune defender is a mean setup.

Veracs, Veracs has become the main method of attacking the Kalphite Queen, this is because when the special happens it can ignore prayer and armour, the Kalphite Queen uses prayer so avoiding her prayer can deal a great deal of damage, Veracs is good for high defence monsters, I use it on the mole in Fally park quite successfully it is also very good for dueling in the duel arena, it can hit as if they have no armour on and is my main fear at the arena.

Dharoks, this can hit well hard, the melee defence is good and I have hit 65 unpotted at the portals in Pest Control, as your hp goes down your ability to hit hard increases, to get the most out of the special you are sitting on a knife edge and a few seconds lag can cause the loss of your helmet, it is rare to hit with the great axe but when you do it can be devastating, for xp and general fighting it is luck if you hit hard and not recommended, at duel arena Veracs will win 9 times out of 10 over great axe because it hits hard so rarely, so if you want to see big hits use great axe, if you want good xp use a whip.

Guthans, Guthans is great for uninterrupted training, the spear can hit as hard as a d scimmy but it is slow and 2 handed so you cant have a defender or a shield, the beauty of Guthans is its special takes the damage inflicted on your opponent and transfers it to you, I have hit 27 with it and healed at the same time giving the hp of 27 to me, this is more than any food available. its special like all barrows is intermittent and can be very frustrating waiting for it to heal you as your health keeps going down, some monsters you will need to take extra food just in case. its main use is for training slayer in hard to get places, you do not need to keep going to the bank for food.

Summary

Torags for good defence
Karils for good mage defence
Ahrims for using ancients, cosmetic no real use
Dharoks for high hits
Guthans for Prolonged training
Veracs for dueling or kalphite queen

Wow what an anchor

The Great Brain Robbery was a good quest I enjoyed it a lot, I was a bit disappointed by the anchor that is given as a prize, the best thing about the Barrelchest Anchor was the fact that it made you walk like you needed the toilet desperately, I tried and could not hit over 18 with it and it ended up buried in the depths of my bank.

After the initial fun with Jagex changing the stats and prices on a regular basis I thought I would try it again, I had Jungle Horrors for slayer so thought I would give it a try.

Off I went to Mos Le’Harmless super potted and started to attack them, 18 great 18 again 0 omg this is carp, 42 wtf 38, I was after the initial few kills amazed at the power of this anchor, I could hit a 42 with a weapon that cost 50k to have repaired, I switched back to the whip and rune defender and my max was 38 Ok the whip was a bit quicker but I now understand why the anchor is used for pking, it owns.

I am now trying to find ways to justify using my whip for anything but dragons and skeletal wyverns, I can see this being the main reason for the fall in the cost of whips, perhaps I ought to sell my 5 whips before the price plummets.

The Barrelchest anchor is designed to be used in defensive mode as the crush bonus is massive, I am 99 strength and attack so its ideal for me, aww I love my whip, I will need the test the Barrelchest a bit more before archiving my faithful whips.

A little known way of making money in Runescape

I have noticed that there are a lot of sites selling information on how to make money fast, there is no need to buy the information it is always available through the free channels such as fan sites and blogs such as this, I did find some blogs telling you how to scam which is a great way to make money quickly but what good is a load of cash in an account that has been banned.

When I was a low level I spoke to a chap who was lower level than me who was wearing dragon legs and had a whip, I asked him how he got it, he told me he did it by getting blue dragon scale and selling to high level players.

Having thought about it that makes a lot of sence, you can make 1 bow string that involves picking flax and spinning it then selling for 180gp, with blue scales it involves a bit of walking, if you have good agility a very little bit of walking, running around in circles picking up blue dragon scales then tele to Fally and repeat for 600gp each.

The best way is to get a full world so all the dragons are being attacked by players and the scales re-spawn quickly.

I had forgot about this as a way of making cash fast but was reminded the other day when I wanted some to make anti fire breath pots.

Snape Grass for cash

I am on a roll for money making tips, at the moment all herblore related for some reason I am not even actively training it at the moment.

Snape grass is used for prayer pots, prayer pots are the most valuable pot on the market fetching anything from 6k to 10k at current prices.

Snape grass is found at Waterbirth Island and more commonly on the hobgoblin island south of the crafting guild, the way I do it is to have my house located at Rimmington use home tele and step outside run west to the Island and pick up the loan snape grass then continue to the double spawn spot and go between the two spots collecting as they spawn.

This place gets busy so if someone else is there I let them finish then I start to pick, If someone else comes along they may not wait so my tip to get it every time is not to just keep clicking but stand on the spawn spot and click as soon as it appears, people who just keep clicking will fill up the mouse buffer and be picking up nothing even after the snape has appeared.

Once you have a full inventory tele to Fally, bank and repeat, you can if you are short of runes use fally bank by heading north using the shortcut under the wall and return the same way.

The main problem is the hobgoblins they can cull low level players so make sure you are twice their combat level before collecting.

At current prices snape grass sells for up to 600gp and finding a buyer will not be a problem, I have even seen it sell for 1k each.
