I'm starting to impose a new rule for myself. The "don't buy more then enough of an item to level a skill.
For example if I wanted to lv prayer I should not buy more then enough to get me a single level. As I have this tendency to not stick with long term goals =p
It also places less of a burden on me to complete something.
Of course this rule is void if it is clear that the market is going to raise greatly and would be foolish not to get now.
Two days ago I meet an old friend from my high school through Runescape. I was leveling firemaking in Draynor Village and I got a random PM. He asked me if I was my brother or if I was the other one. Since he knew my brothers real name I guessed he knew who I was.
He said that he knew I played Runescape and said he just started back up two months ago. Do know I did not really talk about Runescape to my friends after my Freshmen year of High school.
He said he is now attending College and still does not have a job. His poor mother is paying for it all, get a job man!
Anyway the moral of this story is always leave your private chat to: on. You never know who might find you, or you find them. Then again having my username match me so closely did help him spot me.
You think you have what it takes to become a member of the RSC Fight Club?
Can you follow these rules?
1. You don't talk about RSC Fight Club
2. When someone says "Don't pwn me pl0x" the fight is over.
3. Only two players to a fight.
4. The fights go on as long as they have to.
5. No food, no weapons, no magic, no armour and no prayer may be used.
6. Lastly, you don't talk about RSC fight club. ;)
If you will follow the rules above you might have what it takes to join the club.
The RSC Fight Club was founded by Mod Dave. It is only fitting, that now that his presence is leaving us that we meet again and spill each others blood.
The event itself will occur:
Date: December 3rd
Time:
11 Pm Eastern
10 Pm Central
8 PM Pacific
World: 10
Location: Lumbridge castle's basement
Items required: NONE
Details:
To start the event off we will all meet in Lumbridge castle’s basement. Once inside our hidden base we will convene with the fighting’*. If you follow the rules there will be no problems. If you do break the rules other players will not be inclined to fight with you later, so don’t be doing that!
Fight everyone you can, high lvs, low lvs, I have seen fights go in odd directions in the past! Well you lv 3’s might want to avoid that lv 123. =k.
When you die from a fight be sure to run back to the basement in an attempt to get your vengeance!
If the basement proves to be a too confining of a location we will convene the fighting to the Lumbridge courtyard.
After the fighting starts to die down we can play a down home favorite mini game of mine. “Pick-up the swamp toad”. Those things are slippery little blighters!
Notes:
As this is a combat related event you might gain combat xp. If you are however a skiller and wish to partake in the action simply get fatigue to 100% and you will not receive any xp.
Since everyone has till Dec. 3rd to train combat to a none nooby level I hope to meet some challenge in the killing floor :P
Well it has happened, all but 2 of Mod Dave's posts are alive in the RSC forums.
For all of those who just arrived you will not know Mod Dave. But he was the only staffer outside of (Emilee) who cared to help out with classic, before he retired from Jagex.
Leaving us to be slowly beaten up by bots, because no one else at Jagex has since him, has banned a single bot here in classic. (No they still not have been banned here. They just don't play anymore)
Anyway thanks for being there for us Mod Dave when no one else would!
I hope some of the old users can still embody what you had offered us over the years.
-----
R.I.P Mod Dave's posts
A man's words we can all hope to strive for.
Hello new players of Runescape Classic. With RSC fight club coming up and you not knowing much about the game I thought I would open myself up to offer a apprenticeship program.
What is that you may be asking the computer screen? Well it is my way to give in game advise to five new players of the game.
Before I get to far into the program here are the basic requirements:
level 10-30 combat
Must know how to make the cow symbol ]=(:)
Is not a "pure"
No begging for - items cash, doing so will mean - ignore list
Now if you want some one on one time with me, in classic, or are generally confused a lot while playing the game I can help you.
But since I'm only one person I will only be able to help five new apprentices. There is not a set time to meet up with me or anything like that, as some of us how, you know a J O B.
However while I'm on I'll be more then happy to help my new apprentices with any questions they might have or if they need a buddy to tag along while they quest.
To apply for the positions simply message me in game or message my Youtube Account - Studies101.
I need to start getting snap happy and getting together some Monster pictures. That pirate has had his mug in the spot light for far too much time.
If you have a thread that looks cool I'd add it to thread of the week.
I'm starting a Shadow Warrior drop log now. Just something to do while I murder them all.
8 Gp drops are VERY common...
It is time for everyone to train combat.
Why? Because it might have to do with this, the next event.
I have always found those who beg for money on a game to be out of their good mind. I personally only encountered begging when I was on FTP worlds many years ago. That was to be expected I suppose.
But what gets me in this new, reopened classic is the reemergence if begging. What I find to be funny is this:
You PAY money to spend YOUR time begging for money. While FTP you did not... So ya, begging can't be all that fun is it?
I'm more then happy to help new players as long as they meet a few requirements:
Over level 10 CB
Name does not contain; pure, l337 speak, pker, rsc etc.
If they meet that alone I would be more then happy to give them something to get them started.
Oh now your saying, your being mean to the low lvs CreMEANS0! Well now here is why:
Players who have not reached at least 10 combat are not as likely to continue playing classic. As are others who just want free things and would soon quit playing the game anyway.
The name thing is I just don't care for pures, muhhahha.
As always, work towards what you want, sow what you weep. Some of you might want to read up on the children's story "The little red hen", the book has a good moral!
Hmmm as a quick reminder, do not trust fan sites for information regarding RSC, as most of them are paper thin.
(Selling advice, 0 gp!)
Well I have almost completed my last RSC goal of attaining all 50+ stats.
I think I get it at the next event.
RSC Fight Club, you know the rules.
Is anyone else noticing that most new users are picking the blue shirt when they start classic.
Is that the new default look if they don't do the tutorial island? Or they think it looks cool?
For me I picked red shirt, yellow pants when I first started, not like I ever standed-out.
Jagex has reopened classic to all members. Join in on the classic fun, today!
After the bank update that "killed" off botters Jagex waited a month to be sure none would return, or find a way to bot again. Since no bots ran back into classic Jagex decided it would be best to reopen classic to new players. Why for a new 2 week period? I have no idea and it seems silly.
Anyway if you want to start playing classic do so today! Also you start out with basically nothing and no stats. So loads of fun to start off. Please do no beg from other players, no one will give you 100k pl0x.
With Jagex changing a lot of the RSC code it seems that the cheaters have been unable to "play" the game.
Which is wonderful =p Anyway I guess I start blogging more now and will replace that Bot of the week section with something else.
I wonder why in the fall months I never make videos lol =o It must be something in the air.
I'll be making a video tomorrow explaining the event. Cheer's.
Read more...Jagex has removed the long held issue with adding friends in RSC. We are no longer limited to 100 friends, now we get 200 friends.
So now I don't have to keep my friends list under 100 people.
As I was driving to my university this old lady fails to yield and hits my pickup truck.
I have included some brief pictures of the crash.
Here is what the intersection looked like.
Here is her hitting me.
And this is more or less where the vechiles came to rest, not up to scale.
Here is kind of what her vehicle damage looked like:
Here is mine, kind of:
In the end the my vehicle is totaled. The drive train/axle is more or less broken in half. Both rear wheels came out of there wells. The front left tire is flat. I had a steel tool box in the back of my pickup truck also. It weighs about 120 pounds, it went flying out of my truck (It was attached to the vehicle with two sided tape but still) I found it resting on the guard rail 20 or so feet away from where my vehicle stopped. The top lead for one of the chest parts is dent beyound belef. I had a fire extenguisher in the tool box, which I found flung out of said tool box and on the ground. It was a good thing that it did not explode.
For the old lady that hit me she only has damage to her front end.
Once I get some spare time I'll finally post the last Classic Community event, cookout =o.
Read more...I'm thinking about creating a weekly mini series for RSC. All I need now is people who are consistently willing to follow my orders. Or people might just end up being killed off every other week.
I might post a request for "actors" once I completely figure out, in which direction I want to take the said series.
Regardless, welcome to the Forgotten Legacy.
We will:
kill skeletions, zombies.
Dress up as NPC's - Guards [ lv def, noobs =0]
Hide and if we remember to we might just seek.
Choob scavenger hunt
Gather black cats [ do some quests people ]
Get owned by a monster
Take two days to complete the event. [48 hour event, helllyaaa'sssss]
I'll be posting the event staging on the weekend.
If you still don't know yet, World 1 is currently inaccessible to legit users. Only bots who never logged out or bots who use illegal programs can still connect and play the world 1 server.
Now logically this problem should of been fixed by now. As a server not working is a clear priority to work on! But my point is; why does jagex not just ban everyone who is logged into that world... its clear that they are doing something odd to access it if others can't.
Anyway this is the perfect chance for jagex to ban a hand full of cheaters, if they pass this chance up it will be blood on their hands.
Last weekend I started to ask the classic community about what should be in the H-ween event next month. From there responses so far it seems that they no longer trick or treat =o. That's about all the info I could get out of them.
Well they do want to do some costumed antics added to the event at least. That and we will be doing some hide and seek during the event.
Now regarding the Cookout that happened September 13th, it was a small affair. I only gave people a two day head start to plan to come to the event or not. Four people did end up attending the event.
As any cookout we cooked stuff. Fish, meat, some more meat, and again fish and beer.
We all meet in the Port Sarim fishing store. Once we geared up with traveled West to fish some shrimp off the coastline. After many burnt shrimps and salt in the eye, we moved to the Crafting Guild area. To kill cows and eat there flesh! After the spawn rate died down we headed out to Varrock sewers to par take in rat meat.
Daring not to light a fire in a sewer we went above ground and lit a fire in the church. After burning said church we traveled out of Varrock for fear of hanging.
Once we managed to escape we got to the Barbarian Village. Right away we headed to the food hall, pilfering cooked meat and beers! I tried talking to the chieftain but all he did was insult me by calling me ugly! When Lady Riddel tried talking with him all he said to her was Ug!
After all that we went to the river and had at the salmon beneath the water. We managed to see strangers wonder by us. When they got close enough we all tackled them to the ground! Take that level 121! Then later a lv 73 came running past us who we just ended up throwing into the water. The hungry salmon's quickly took care of him.
That's about all we did in this cookout event.
Everyone hates being unlucky. For me I swear I left all my luck in Runescape Classic. To this day I have never gotten any Dragon item drop in RS2. I got a Dragonic Visage in a team at KBD but the noob who got it ran off.
Anyway I have tried in the past to get Challenge Scrolls from the monsters that drop them, but to no avail.
Today with the release of the "Dragon Pickaxe" I went out and beat the quest. Which has a SUPER EASY PUZZLE... I guess if you don't know your left from your right you might run into trouble.
Now After the quests completion I went to kill the new monsters that drop said Pick. Of course it's muti-combat so people with "high" hitting weapons will get the kill. Regardless the area is meant to be hard, and once the flood of people leaves it WILL be HARD to kill the monsters. As "rangers" will beat you to death =p.
I got lucky I guess and got a "Hand Cannon" from randomly killing a "cannon-er". Currently the weapon is 40k in the GE. But the ammo for the thing is rather Pricey. I guess since the weapon has the power to HIT very high it balances it'self out.
I can't wait for the D-pick to crash =p. People do know you make MUCH less mining then woodcutting right?
If you have not noticed yet, here is the video for the last Runescape Classic event.
As always on Mod Dave day, Mod's are sold separately =p
Well another Mod Dave day draws to a close... If you do not know what Mod Dave day is then you did not read Mod Dave's last message to the classic community. On this day he told us that he was leaving for good and put us in the charge of Mod Emilee and ----- (he quit also so...)
To remember Mod Dave I had decided to set this Runescape Classic event to the 5th. The details of the event was this;
Everyone gathered at the monastery (prayer guild) at 6Pm Eastern. We then headed to the dwarfen tunnels. Once inside we began the slaughter of the shorty's! From there we ended up back tracking to the monastery, to Falador. On the road to Falador I told members to pick-up an item that I was dropping. That item of course being a swamp toad!
Those buggers be slippery little blighters! Ill Pun Ill was the lucky man to capture the froggy alive. Everyone else ended-up with warts on there hands, hehe.
Once in the city we dug our hands into the pockets of the local men. Pulling out there lose change. Of course some men caught on to our behavior and fought back, ending in there untimely deaths.
Out of the city we traveled to the farmers, farm. There we killed all his chickens and raided his crops. Needless to say we killed the farmer before we left. If we had remembered to bring a match we might of also burned his little house down =0.
I had it planned out that we would do some "Cabbage Racing" but some players got cabbage happy and scorched the earth! Since the respawn time of cabbages is low.. and World 1 is broken... we had to move on!
We headed out towards Wizard Tower, there I told my followers to climb, Climb! Once at the top some players started attacking the lesser demon. As players are noobs, they did not manage to kill him.
Once a player offered a free super set for the first people to Lumbridge we all rushed out of the tower. One noob teleported =0. Anyway once in Lumy a player said he loves watching my videos. To that I responded " so why did you not attend this rsc event..."
Well anyway the event was short "less then 30 minutes" and people seemed to have fun. 15 dwarfs, 5 chickens, 4 men, and 18+ cabbages died during the event, acceptable losses.
Wherever you are now Mod Dave, be happy to know that we have not let Mod Emilee's neglect get in our way of having fun.
Everyone wants to play classic and everyone wants to see the classic forums =o.
But some players that even play RSC can't access the forums, so what could be your chances of seeing them? Zero should be your response =l.
Now if someone wants to access the classic forums they have to go to forum feedback area, and enter the sticky which is set-up to allow people to request access.
NOW you should only post in the sticky if you CAN play classic now and want to be allowed to post/ view the classic forum section. The sticky basically tells you that if you play classic you will be allowed in right away. But if you have many black marks or are not active enough you might be turned away. Although that RARELY happens.
This kid:
Is the perfect example of someone who does not DESERVE access to classic and least her forums. This kid basically is saying I don't play much and if you don't let me use the forums I will never do so in the near future. FIRST off kid if you are denied from accessing the forums because you have low levels/ skills then guess what? TRAIN THEM SOME! Spending an hour Firemaking, Woodcutting should give you enough levels to show you have interest in classic...
For his argument in being more involved in the game by using the forums, that's just plain foolish. All one has to do is meet some choob in Lumbridge and ask them if they want to help you train or kill a monster with them.
Remember the forums are a privilege to the users of Runescape. NO ONE is entitled to them. *wonders when this self absorb entitlement stuff will end*
Once again the Runescape Classic community has requested for Jagex to reconnect the private chat with RS2.
A few years ago when Jagex added the alt key commands, ö ü etc to support foreign languages to Runescape. Jagex disabled the Chat between classic and rs2. But for whatever reason they left the friends lists still connected.
Since classic has 100 friend limit for members, players either have to remove friends on the spot or Log-on to RS2 and add the new person there.
Last year the classic chat list went totally screwy. The lists had been totally disconnected, joy =p. But Jagex still managed to screw this up by having the friends lists re-set each time you logged-out...
This was fixed in about a month... after players complained enough, this was when Mod Dave was still on hand.
Now back to the topic of people once again crying to Jagex to fix what they broke and Jagex current response.
Mod Poppy: I think a lot of RS2 players would get really jealous if they saw some of their friends in RSC knowing that they couldn't play.
What does everyone think?
Now I do not think Mod Poppy has had a good experience with having friends or something. If a friend of mine is jealous because I have a nice truck, he is clearly not a friend of mine...
Just the notion that "Hey Cremeans0 is playing classic again, I hate him" is stupid. Most of my friends have to know by now that I play classic, it's not a secret. Now if Mod Poppy thinks that players will randomly add someone who can play classic just to see: Cremeans0 World RSC 1. Then so be it, players can ask away " WTH is RSC is that a Funorb game" so be it.
My chats always on for a reason, I do not care to turn away questions if they can't be answered by others or easy found. Even as a player moderator I left my chat on. People would add me at times then later PM me saying " Why do I have you added", "Who is this"? Once I talked to them they would say "oh" or something. It did not bother me all that much as I still have a *gasp* ignore tab. Not that I use it outside of a note pad, sorry player 144,132 =o
While Mod Poppy posed this question of "
Jealousy" some Forum moderators jumped in *who can not play classic* and offered there ideas to this subject.
I'm fine with them using our forums, but the day they have any pull with what happens in the daily affairs of classic will be the day I stop complaining about things. Forum Mod's should stick to handling reports and not fooling around with classic politics.
Some of the Forum Mod's have pointed out that Classic does not get any updates. If that's the case so be it, but as it stands our private chat was stolen from us and we want it back. Classic was ment to be closed from game-updates, by removing something guess what, its an update. Even if we all saw it as a downgrade.
Now some players have gave there views as to what Jagex can do to allow the chats to reconnect. The most logical one I saw was by Dtom13; who suggested that all incoming alt commands should just appear as being star-ed out by the filter.
Jagex, if they think jealousy is the only reason they should not allow us to communicate with friends in RS2 need to grow-up. If jealousy was such a pressing matter "They should just remove all none tradeable-rares." This emotion of jealousy is not something Jagex can control, ever... By preventing our communication with the outside they are doing nothing but stopping a few 15 year olds from $#%@ about how they can't play classic.
Does it not seem odd that if Jagex is working on the RSC cheat servers that this is even a FLIPPING ISSUE!!!
It is about time I changed the monster and cheater of the week spot.
Those who won out were the Pirate and Lostboy08.
In the end they are both, much alike. Both are criminals and are most likely drunk.
If you want to visit the Pirate of the week stop on by the Port Sarim jails. He is not friendly to visitors, but he is the one behind the bars! Show him the path of justice with a few well placed spells and arrows.
As for the botter he will most likely be in Varrock training on the Dummies there till his brain rots.
On Wednesday I will upload some new video guides to Youtube.
These will include:
Snape Grass gathering.
Guilds explored.
How to become a legend, this will be sub-uploaded into sections per, skill. Not all to be uploaded on Wednesday.
I constantly see people on Youtube and around my College blaring out the Phrase "Fair Use Act" when they make videos, be it for class or "entertainment" reasons. The issue I have with those who constantly hide behind this part of the USA Copyright law is they have never read it....
Face it most people who make videos now have some sort of disclaimer on them...
Now below is the main article the kid above "copy and pasted."
Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:
Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission.
-----
Now I love how people just happen to forget that last line... People think that because they slap the fact that they don't own something means it's OK to use it and there video can never be "taken down".
For me, I will never put these disclaimers on any of my videos as they do not effect anything. They will not stop Jagex or other companies from claiming what is theres. If you think it does, welcome to the real world, here it does not.
If you do not know Ill Pun Ill one of his classic videos was removed because "James" claimed it. Since I do not know what Pun uses to record his videos and such I can't tell if that was the reason it was claimed. Although the best course of action is to contact Youtube and counter his case, that is if Pun thinks he has the legal higher ground.
If you have any legal questions feel free to write a letter to the address below, all standard postal fairs do apply:

The reason I have not updated my blog, was because I was away attending a Funeral.
I'm back now.
Here is the list for my favorite member quests.
Starting with least liked, to most liked quest;
1. Murder Mystery: It's no mystery that this quest is annoying. You MUST go through EVERY line of dialogue with each NPC in the mansion... BLAH I'll say I killed him, let me be!!!
2. Sheep Herder: The sheep are too over powered! They have the power to out run your Character...
3. Monk's Friend: Oh boy, help some monk's get ready for a party! Who's, "Androe's" I'm sure he is no relations to "Andrew". As Brother Omad put it I'd say this quest plot is "Dum dee do la la, Hiccup."
4. Dwarf Cannon: It's all about getting a 1337 cannon. That costs 750k... We are not all made of money!
5. BioHazard: Nothing is worse then traveling from Arrdy to Rimmington to Varrock repeatedly because a guard steals your plague sample.
6. Sea Slug: The plot... Brain slugs... They control all!!! If only the darn fishing platform was WORTH returning to.
7. Tribal Totem: I'm all for returning artifacts to tribal people but the reward of some Swordfish and stuff does not cut it for me! Although I did like some of the Puzzles.
8. Observatory Quest: At least Jagex tried to make a maze?
9. Druidic Ritual: If only all quests could be solved with meat!
10. Waterfall: Cool "waterfall"?
11. Hazeel Cult: This quest faintly reminded me of Murder Mystery. At least you got to pick which "side" you wanted to help.
12. Fishing Contest: I knew Vampires loved to fish! This quest should be on any low levels list of "Complete me first" as it allows you to by-pass some certain wolves.
13. Jungle Potion: A quest that takes place SOLELY in the Jungle... joy.
14. Merlin's Crystal: Jagex just had to require this quest to have a "pal needed" part. I liked the tower at least, good place to train =p. Oh and I love the music I used for the quest.
15. Scorpion Catcher: A glorified "Fetch quest" that let's you do a good old bar crawl.
16. Tree Gnome Village: A light maze followed by collecting some magic balls from the Warlord.
17. The Dig Site: Me love's playing with High Explosives! Although, panning for items, you go sit in the car!
18. Fight Arena: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Prayer = God Mod...
19. Plague City: Psst come here... I got a Cat for sell, ya 25 death runes man deal...
20. Clock Tower: 4 Puzzles and a Clock!
21. The Grand Tree: Bring your translation book if you want to have a chance at beating this one... *takes screen-shot*
22. Lost City: Leprechaun get out of my tree!
23.Temple of Ikov: 1 item... ORANGE Boots of lightfootedness, oh and Ice Spiders, burn in hell!
24. Holy Grail: Helping people who are on different planes of existence, that's what its all about.
25. Heroes' Quest: NOTHING you do in this quest should count as making you a hero... but hey Dragon Axe anyone?
26. Legends Quest: I only liked the "hungry's".
27. Watchtower: Helping Ogre's that's how I wanted to spend my questing... Who left this Poison Spider in this chest!
28. Shilo Village: Why must all ghosts want to beat me up...
29. Family Crest: Cooking Gauntlet's... "Dimintheis your papa is my papa!" 9:34.
30. Witch's house: The key is always under the welcome mat. *wink wink*
31. Gertrude's Cat: "FREE" KITTY'S!
32. The Tourist Trap: I love to help women escape slavery, especially if I get to put them in a barrel first =p.
33. Underground Pass: PUZZLES WOOT I personally had the best luck when it came to doing the Agility portions of this quest. Inventory space is your enemy.... Then again when is it not.
The "orange" line is from new users who just happened to click my videos the green one are those who have subscribed to me or viewed more then one video? I'm not too sure on that to be truthfully.
At any rate I seem to be averaging 500 viewers daily, spanning my whole "video collection". It's fun looking back on certain days like Decemeber 25th, I noticed a small dip in my average viewership, Oh I can only wonder why =p
If you have been paying attention to the amount of users on the Runescape Classic servers you would of known about there recent uproar in activeness.
Now the question is: Why are they becoming more active now?
There are a couple of possibility:
1. People love Classic more then ever.
2. People came back to bot here instead of rs2.
3. Bots think Jagex will allow them to trade there classic items into rs2.
4. Bot owners found some more money to let older bots, bot again.
There might be other reasons, but who knows. I just have a hard time believing that people are coming back to seriously play classic again.
Most fools in rs2 think all we do is pk in the wild because that's all they saw Runescape as. As of yet I have NOT SEEN anyone actively pking in the wild for almost 3 years now..., most of the bot owners prefer to duel in Lumy.
Back on topic: Whatever the reason people are coming back I have yet to see "new" people posting on the forums. Which has led me to believe that the influx of players are just here to cheat.
After beating all the quests Andrew Gower and his staffers at Cambridge made I feel that it is time I tell you all what I thought of them all.
At first I thought, "Hey I should make a video, in which I discuss this" but you know what... That ended up being like 20 minutes long.
So here I am in written text to inform you about my views, Since it's not fair to compare Member Quests with Free ones I'm splitting the posts-up.
Free Quests; Listed least liked to most liked:
1. Imp Catcher: It's not a quest... I swear * buys 4 beads* at least you get a "discontinued" item for its completion.
2. Doric's Quest: You know a quest is bad when it has "quest" in its title. The reward is access to an Anvil above Falador, which is useless compared to the one in Varrock. *which is quest free*
3. Sheep Shearer: Hmm Balls of wool anyone?
4. Goblin Diplomacy: I like preventing inner conflict as much as the next guy, but come on now... fighting over colors!!! Love the "inner" comedy if you wish to call it that, that in order to beat this quest you have to kill quite a few Goblins for their armour.
5. Cook's Assistant: This is the quest that most players beat first when they arrived in Runescape. It might be just a gathering quest but it helped young adventures explore the limited area of Lumbridge.
6. Shield of Arrav: I do detest quests in-which two players have to work together towards a common goal. This quest being to the extreme of my hatred to how low players would go to "scam" those who were also doing the quest. HECK I had to buy my half from another player the first time I completed the quest... The only reason this quest is "ranked" better then the other quests is because its heart was in the right place, to get players to work together! It just turns out human nature of kids rarly lets the forumla of helping others pan-out correctly.
7. Witch's Potion: Help the local witch with her potion and get some free magic levels, Sign me UP! *Oh and free "discontinued" item - Rat's tail*
8. The Restless Ghost: A good-ish plot with "Life Giving" prayer xp as a reward and the quest helps to promote some early exploration of neighboring Draynor Village.
9. Romeo and Juliet: A classic tale told in the Guise of a quest. What could be better then helping out your main man Romeo and hooking him up with Juliet's sister =0.
10. Pirates Treasure: You get to kill a farmer, need I say more?
11. Demon Slayer: One of the first quests that had soo much dialogue it could make a book sick =p. It's still classified as a "fetch-quest" but it dragged you to many locations in Runescape and the destination is never as important as the Journey.
12. The Knight's Sword: Helping a fool replace a long held family sword... I"m up to this task!!! Shame that this quest requires someone elses help half-way through. At least it gives you very decent smithing xp.
13. Prince Ali Rescue: Saving a Prince from a crazy lady, never heard that one before... At least you use your 1337 plastic surgery skills and let him escape.
14. Black Knights Fortress: Time to go undercover and stop some nogooders. Remember Cabbages solve all known problems of man.
15. Ernest the Chicken: One of the "hardest" puzzle quests ever... haha. This quest had many of my friends STUMPED for weeks.... ME likes puzzles =p.
16. Vampire Slayer: Hey I like to kill Vampires, get off my case as to why this is high on the list.
17. Dragon Slayer: I get to kill a dragon =0 and earn the rights to wear Runite Pl8 body and I get to buy a boat OMG.
Quest Name: Transcending History
Starting Point: Historian Minas
Length: Short
Difficulty: Beginner
Requirements:
50 Kudos points
Shield of Arrav Quest
NOTE: Quest takes place in a recreation of runescape classic, limited to Varrock and Draynor Village.
Briefing:
Historian Minas has recently come across a mysterious glass orb and he wants a second opinion on what it can do before he turns it into the museum curator. This is where you young adventure come in.
Body:
You talk with Historian Minas, who tells you that he has come across an odd piece of glass when he visited the dig site and would like your thoughts on what it might be.
(To continue from this point on the quester will be asked to bank all their items) Minas informs them that he does not want you to possibly contaminate the item.
After banking Minas will attempt to hand you the glass orb, but trips because a group of “teacher and pupils” pushes by him, making him throw the orb to you, which causes it to break at your feet.
At this point you will be teleported into runescape classic’s museum.
Note: That all your skills will be drained to 1, makes it easier for the programmers I feel 
(It’s up to the graphics team to decide to make just the area or the character looks like there in classic). (Wearing no items, before entering makes designing the character models a lot easier right?
Anyway at your feet you will now see “glass fragments” if you click on them they can return you to runescape 2, and simply repeat the sillyness to return. Before you can go down the steps your character will remark that its best if I report back to Minas before I continue on.
You tell Minas that you entered a weird world were everything was flat and odd. Minas will then inform you that he most of stumbled upon a person’s memories and asks you to return there to see if you can interact with any of the locals and find out anything which might of been forgotten
After going back to the museum and going down the steps you will have the options to interact with the locals.
Here you can just simply try to tell them you’re all a part of a memory and are not real, to which they will respond, if I’m just a memory then how come when I the king asks for taxes my heart skips a beat. The other option to talk will be: try to tell them that they are from the past. You will try to explain to them that you are a great adventure from the future and have come to see how things were in the past. They will respond: If you’re from the future and are a great adventure where is your dragon medium helmet and shining dragon battleaxe ready to go into battle? You’re just like the other grown men/women, thinking your all tough and have yet seen the world.
When you are though talking with some of the locals, head south of the eastern most Varrock bank and talk to the smither there (Thrander). He tells you his current job and informs you of an adventurous kid, much like yourself.
Thrander: Perhaps you should hang out with that kid from Southern Varrock? He always has talk of wild adventures. I seem to recall seeing him sneaking around the Kings castle earlier.
At this point in the quest you will need to travel to Varrock castle, where you will not be able to see the “Wise old man” So you will talk with the King Roald VIII.
Ask him if he has seen anyone from Southern Varrock lately. He will remark that he has not but would be glad if you had any information leading to the return of the Shield of Arrav. He offers you a very generous amount of 500gp no questions asked for its safe return. You will attempt to explain that a gang of thieves stole it but the King will reply that ridiculous, how did any of that sort manage to do such a task.
As you leave the room *cutscene* Katrine (or some other NPC) will cast a spell on you, causing you to be sent to the Black Arm Gangs Hideout.
There she will explain that you almost gave away her involvement in the theft. She will say: I don’t know how you found out but I’m not going to let you leave here alive. She will call forth the King Black Dragon (yes we have on in runescape classic) since it had owed her an old favor. As the dragon is about to attack you, you feel strange and are teleported to Draynor Village.
Once in Draynor you will be able to see some NPC’s dueling each other in the field south of the bank.
Once you have finished teleporting you will be sent to the “Wise Old Mans” house. He will tell you that his name is Dionysius.
He explains that he saved your life because he thinks that you might become a great adventure one day, like he hopes to become. He also thinks you might be just skilled enough to help him pull off a heist of the Draynor bank.
You tell him what can I get out of this heist? He asks what do you want?
You can ask:
How about gilded Sara armour: Whats that’s ?
Half the loot? I’m the man with the muscle here, you’re just the distraction.
You again: Then I’ll turn you in. Him: Good luck. Besides it would take me all week to without all that money. (inside joke for classic users)
How about some knowledge? Hmmm that’s the most valuable thing I could ever offer. I’ll tell you something from my travels after we do the heist.
So how are we even going to be able to break into the bank? Wise Man: Well just look at how they have no security, there not even behind a teller’s desk. Then why do you need my help? Well I need you to distract the people who are inside the bank? You: Will an emotes work? Wise Man what’s an emote? Um nothing… “Wise man”: Anyway just do something which no one would expect...
Now at this point the player will have talk with Miles, Giles, and Niles who will want the player to do some tasks for them around the Village. If possible could make this part explain why they plan to quit the certing village and became "randoms". The tasks they want the player will include, helping them cert some items that NPC's will bring to them and something else, till they reward you with a cracker. This is the distraction you needed. Now head to the bank and use the cracker on any of the player NPC’s inside.
This will cause a cutscene which will be filled with them spaming omg omg crack me place, I want a phat. While people are running around you the Wise man will storm in and steal something. After robbing is complete you will then be able to ask the Wise man a question.
About:
Other things about this strange land:
Answer; This is runescape but I hear one day the world will open up into a world much larger and more complex. Then he will explain some of the skills etc.
Now for runescape classic players he will tell you this:
Haven’t I seen you before? Yes you are definitely not new to this land. For helping me out here I’ll tell you what, you can have an item I managed to steal from the bank. The RSC Cape, it can’t stand the test of Time (means will have 0 def bonuses) like we can but it at least will let us stand-out and be recognized as people who were around in a harder time. (This means if you have any “classic” holiday item or are an active classic member you will get this cape)
Edit: Instead of him handing you the cape directly he will tell you that since the item is still "hot" he will bury it on one of the farming patches to the East of the Village.
Once you get the cape, or information he will offer to take you back to Var. There you can choose to return to rs2 and beat the quest where you either tell your story of classic and what it was or show him your new cape.
Rewards:
1 Qp
2 Kudo points
An antique lamp worth 5k xp
And possible RSC Cape
Here are my views regarding the news of the Runescape Classic Cape cancellation. Now because I'm a fair guy I'll post my views for both sides of this argument. If you don't know anything about the Runescape Classic Cape idea, then your most likely a RS2 user.
The original idea for the idea came from the classic community's desire to stand-out in RS2. I guess this is where the divide for this idea first arose, but I'll get back to that later. Now in the past a few players requested a "blue crown" to be displayed for any "active" user of classic while they were on the forums and in-game.
However the idea that took peoples attention the most was the "cape". A few players dared to envisioned what this "godly" cape would look like. Some took to using "text" art and a few used Microsoft Paint to doodle out this cape. Some even took the time to dream about what possible emote this cape would have.
For better or for worse, I placed it upon myself to create a logical method for players to even receive the cape. Now I'll provide a link to the rough draft of the quest. Although at the time of posting it is still "alive" in the quest suggestion forums.
A few players questioned some of the staffers at Jagex if we would one day get this cape. At first the response was one of "yes" but as the months passed by the idea began to evolve. This idea to Jagex was changed from a Cape for RSC players only, to one for all Veteran players of a certain "character age".
Now let me explain the division that the Cape has caused the classic community. For those of you who can't play classic you will not be aware of a few things, most of which I will not describe here. Regardless some players who play classic saw the Classic Cape as a means for players who just made the cut-off time for classic as a "free idea". Some players also thought the idea of getting an item in RS2 because you can play classic as insane. "You should just be happy that you can play classic."
The side of players who wanted the Cape to come to light screamed when they saw Mod Mmg claim that the idea was scrapped. Some said they had lost even more faith in Jagex, for not going through with what they had said. Those who wanted the Cape saw it as a means to show how long they have played and there general long term "support" for Jagex. Another reason why players wanted the cape was because they felt it was the least Jagex could do for them, likewise for supporting them over the years.
As for my view on the matter of to Cape or not to Cape, my answer it to not. Even if I might be to blame for getting players hopes up with a quest-outline. I did that because it is fun to write random drawn-out stories time-to-time. My main reason to appose the idea is because of this: This desire to stand-out amongst other players. The need to be different is a noble one I suppose but placing all your hopes into a item that NO OTHERS can get because they never played classic is insane...
I guess the reason for such a large out-cry from the Runescape Classic community was because of a "broken" promise and this over bearing sense of "entitlement". Just because you can play Classic right now DOES NOT MEAN your entitled to ANYTHING special. Also I do take issue with this item being in RS2. The point is to show you can play classic? So why do you not do so? I have to think in some users cases that, those who complained the loudest played classic the least.
In closing I think Jagex made the correct move by dismissing the Classic Cape idea. I think if they decide to go with a general "veteran" cape for long time users of __ years I'd be happy. As the notion of getting something for logging on a long time ago has already given passed. *Beats the whinners with Bunny Ears and Scyths.*
Now I have 300 people subscribed to my Youtube channel Studies101. Even if only "67" of them are still actively viewing my videos when they first come out, I guess it's something.
When I first started to make my videos I had 5 people subscribed to me... Then after I got half way through the classic quests and took a 2 month break I got over the "150" mark. I guess it just goes to show, when you "have" a monopoly over something people will have to deal with you, muhahaha.
After I figured-out how to prevent my videos from lagging... and Youtube added that HQ stuff my videos no longer looked "BAD". (= Which helped stop peoples comments about "Blah classic looked horrible! " Now after years of leveling for quests and goofing around I was finially able to beat all the Runescape Classic Quests. By the data Youtube tells me things, it would appear that about 150,000 video views were because of the Quest videos. I would count more views, but I don't want to count the videos that I placed on my brothers Youtube account: Shastasms.
I'm also almost at the 100 video uploaded checkmark, 92 at the moment. As soon as I finish a guild video that I like completely it will finally be released. Once again I'm sorry for the delay on this video but the "raw" video I made for the first attempt felt like I missed the mark...
Hmm even when that video is released I will not be near the "100 videos released mark". Well I guess it's time to finish-up "how to become a legend" and some of my other, smaller guide videos.
It would appear that the Monster of the week is your local King Scorpion! He is a rather large and fearsome creature to the low level crowd, but at least he is not poisonous! A few well placed blows against his kingly shell and he shall fall like the rest.
If your interested in meeting the King Scorpion, you might want to get the drop on him in the Falador Mines. Due to his large size and tendency to sting the living daylights out of passerby's you should not be able to miss him! Do pay mind to the fact that the king has his brothers wandering around him to aid in his destructive tendency.
The kid who won the spot for Cheater of the week is no other then: Pcgamer111. Give the cheating bot user a great big round of applause! This noob uses a program to play Runescape Classic for him while he commits crimes against humanity, no doubt. Pcgamer111 starts his days (off) by never logging off and mining coal till his "owner" checks in on him about every half-an-hour.
For those who do not know about Jagex's competition yet; they want players to submit a 2 minute video based in Runescape to be sent to their Youtube account "Runescape".
Now if you have watched Youtube over the years you would of known that the account "Runescape" was not controlled by Jagex.
According to the staff the account was "given" to them. Now it does not take a rocket scientist to figure-out some sort of transaction most of occurred...
I'm not sure what Jagex offered the original creater of that account. But I can only assume: Money, Mod-ship, Free stuffs from store, "J-mod friends". Of course he could of just given the account to jagex without a fight. But the matter still stands that he never did that for years...
Anyway Jagex wants you to send them a video and it must be creative, entertaining to win! The prizes you can win include some signed swag, membership and the grand-prize being a tour of the Jagex building(s). It is not mentioned how long your trip to jagex would last... But I'd have to assume a few days maybe a week. Of course everything while your with Jagex is free!
*Makes Andrew pay for my haircut*
Pun and myself are going to enter a Runescape Classic video. At the moment we have almost finalized the videos silly plot and are about to add our audio to the video. *cling clang cling! OWWW that hurt!*
Once I figure out how to "fully" set-up my blogs colors and general arrangement of items. I will be happy :)
Hello everyone this is Cremeans0! If you follow me on Youtube then you will know and love me as Studies101.
This blog will become a means for me to express my thoughts about Runescape Classic and beyond.
I will also write articles going through the impacts Runescape Classic has had on the gaming world and upon the very users who took part in its adventures.
