You know, at first I wasn't too happy with the dwarfscape update, but after playing with it for a while, I must admit... It's pretty good

I hope after I die people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."

Plant things like Achievement Banners and Clan Vexillum in front of the the Pest Control ramp for maximum laughs.

So I have decided to do at least 1k QBD kills. My initial goal was to do enough QBD until I had dragon bones to cover 96-99 Prayer, but knowing I'll get distracted, I'm just going to fully commit to 1k kills and post my loot from each day, as long as I do at least 50+ kills each day so I'm not spamming up the thread. After this I may be doing some 1k kill logs on other bosses so let me know what you would like to see next. Keeping in mind I'm not doing it with Kalphite King, Vorago, Rot6, or Nex.

I do on occasion, and I think there's 2-3 others as well. Everyone seems to play at different times though, so El Goonsquad is empty most of the time.

I will throw in 6bondx if they deliver pizzas/hand out pizza slices to the other people at runefest.

This is the best idea and I will toss some cash in to help pay for it if Pizza will cosplay her character and give out pizza.

Slayer loot tab from 10 to 20% of the way on my goal to 120 slayer, or about 8.4m slayer xp:



Pizza Lady guessed it would be worth 48m. How close was she?

i've been reading the forums and apparently a jmod said in a recent stream that they would probably revert the revolution nerf and instead bring full manual in line with revolution's damage.

The second drop party went well, and I did this one in rounds and it was cool, except v8mate dropped a bunch of voodoo masks so I couldn't stuff everything in at once. :mad:



The party has yet to begin.


Jubblies v1.2


Absolutego said he added some- holy poo poo. :stare::stare::stare:


Uhh I forget why I took this one.


The party is going!


Look at this lucky bastard.


After all the good loots have been had, the party draws to a close.


This is probably the best though. Some pubbie came to the party just as it ended and the only thing left in the chest was like 522 gp and 62 air runes.

This is definitely the best part by far though:

Can we make a list of people who actually can and will go to Runefest 2014 if GoonScape communism bonds will pay the ticket? I wouldn't mind going myself, but if some Scot/brit/welshman wants to go I'd rather give him a few bonds, instead of flying myself across the North Sea to meet&greet Mod Moltare.

Made a change hth

My 6 bond donation is extended to either the OG Pizza Lady to pass out pizza slices, or any goon who will cosplay as Pizza Lady, hand out slices, and make terrible puns.

... Hell, i'll double the bond donation.

So after getting home from delicious BBQ and getting disappointed in the July BTS (what did you expect idiot), I got bored and tabulated the number of quests Jagex has released by year. I didn't count remakes of old ones, unless they were completely overhauled and made into an entirely different quest.

2001: 17
2002: 23
2003: 11
2004: 15
2005: 29
2006: 21
2007: 14
2008: 17
-----
2009: 12
2010: 12
2011: 9
2012: 11
2013: 5 (!?)
2014: 4

Some stunning efficiency, there.

Oh yeah, and every recent quest (with the exception of Mighty Fall) has been either Novice or Grandmaster.

runescape.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_quest_release_dates

Plans for at least 22 more quests :allears:


Pick a groupie to go with you and give us a full report.

To be fair didn't they spend most of last year doing EOC stuff?

I'm pretty okay with their quest release rate going through the floor if it means overhauling the game for a year to be less poo poo.

34, going by the ticket price.

VonSchnowser x fishmech would make it 68, so about 209,234,470 gp per person at the moment.

Character Name Clean-up

We’re updating the way character names work, so now you can grab that name you’ve had your eye on since you completed Cook’s Assistant and change your name more often.

Members will continue to get one free name change per month, and we’re now offering you an alternative way to change your name as many times as you like on top of this. Redeem one Bond to swap your name for another, completely bypassing name change waiting time of one month.

As well as offering this new name change service, we’re working to release character names from dormant accounts. If you’re a member, you’ll be able to take one of the names we release completely free, as long as you haven’t changed your name in the last month.

Don’t worry though, your character name is safe. As long as you’re a member or recently active free player, your name is yours to keep for as long as you want it.

We’ll only be recovering character names from the following accounts:

Former members who haven’t logged into their account for 2 years
Players who have never been a member who also haven’t logged into their account for 6 months


We’ll be sending out emails to all accounts affected. If that includes you, all you need to do to keep your character name safe is log into your account within the next seven days.

So, if you’re having an identity crisis or just fancy a change, redeem a Bond now to change your name and keep your eyes peeled. We’ll be releasing a list of the names we’ve made available, in batches, within the next few weeks.

The RuneScape Team

Royal Rhinos and New Seasonal Hiscores

We’ve teamed up with the charity United for Wildlife on their United for Rhino campaign to help them raise awareness of illegal wildlife trade, in particular rhino horn trade.

Today, RuneScape members can begin the journey to adopting a white or black royal rhino pet in-game.

All you need to do is visit the young conservationists who are waiting for you in Burthorpe to tell you all about the plight of the rhinos - particularly the dangers they face from poachers in the wild.

The conservationists, Trang and Mauricio, will be there for 2 weeks and will provide you with a different multiple choice question, related to the plight of the rhinos and illegal wildlife trade, each day.

To adopt a white royal rhino, all you need to do is answer 4 questions correctly over the 14 day period, and to adopt your black Royal Rhino you need to answer 10 questions correctly.

The royal rhinos in your care are extra special. To thank you for saving them, they are offering an XP buff, 10% if you have the white rhino and 15% for the black rhino.

On top of this, those of you with 96 Summoning can use your white rhino like a pack yak, giving you access to a Pack Yak inventory for 1.5 hours in exchange for a pack yak pouch. Your black rhino offers the same for two hours.

These extras will last for the two weeks that our young conservationists are in game and for two weeks after they have moved on to other lands. After this, your rhinos will still be with you, just minus those special extras.

For more information on the plight of the rhino, visit the United for Wildlife website.

But who cares about that, here's the real deal, from patch notes:

I'm pretty sure the Trollheim/GWD swap was a Mighty Fall reward already.
