S1. Introduction

RuneScape is that game that you played back when you were a child, or, if you had no friends, also middle school. Released in 2001, the game takes place on the world Gielinor, a fantasy world where magic, religion and technology attempt to coexist (think very early Renaissance period), often with poor results.

If it�s been a while since your last trip down memory lane, a large portion of the game has been massively improved. Many old, tiresome skills have been redone, or given access to new, faster training locations, while new skills (Divination and the soon to be released Invention) attempt to fill in gaps and allow for decently powerful new items to be created.

GoonScape is the SA clan on RuneScape, currently under the glorious leadership of FlexMentallo/99 CENTS AMIGO. We have, on average, about ~20 players on at peak hours, with a minimum of 5 on at any given point during the day. You really don�t want to fly solo in this game; the grinding aspect is still there, albeit not as bad, but without people to talk to, it�s incredibly unfun. Also pubbies in this game are poo poo

If you are a returning player, you may be interested in the LIST OF UPDATES that the RuneScape Wiki keeps updated. It is a concise, chronological list of every update made to the game.

S2. Joining GoonScape

To join GoonScape, you need to first familiarize yourself with the UI a bit. Assuming your computer isn�t a relic from the �90s, these are the steps you�ll need to follow.
First, click on this button

. This brings up your �Community� window.

Next, you should see the following window:

Make sure you have the green middle icon highlighted. Viewing this window, click the little icon in the lower left (

] and type in GoonScape.

You should enter the clan chat channel. From there, just ask in chat to be invited to the clan; we�ll get you situated!

Chunderstorm posted:

Talking in the clan before invite is /g, talking after you�re in the clan is /c.

We also have an irc channel. It doesn't get used much these days, but it's good for if you need to talk about anything that's against the game's rules.

Server: irc.swiftirc.net
Channel: #goon_isle

Slightly more popular is our mumble, which is occasionally populated by 5+ goons, all of whom are pretty rad. Don't be shy about suggesting mumble in the clan chat. If there are enough goons online, a good number will hop on to make fun of your nasally voice.

Label: Whatever you so choose
Address: 5.135.185.212
Port: 64738
Name: Whatever you so choose

You'll get a message box saying "oh, you didn't put in the password," so put in the password agoona.

Chat while you poopsock.

S3. Skills

:siren:

IF YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED RUNESCAPE BEFORE :siren:

Your character has access to 26 skills, some of which are extremely useful (Prayer, Herblore) and some of which are basically worthless (Firemaking, Agility). All of them, however, need to be raised to certain levels so you can access the fun stuff. If you have literally never touched this game before, ask Rafzakaelx (if I am online) or PM me here for a handout; I will give you a small lump of coins and some starter gear to get you started on your adventure.

If you are more comfortable with the game, keep Grimy�s Spreadsheets handy; it is a regularly updated list of moneymaking skills and various other spreadsheets.

FOREWORD ABOUT SKILLS

All skills are important, but some are more important than others. Many quests, which are required to unlock incredibly powerful rewards, are only unlocked for completion if you meet the skill level requirements. For example, Ritual of the Mahjarrat, a Grandmaster tier quest that grants many, MANY experience points in a variety of useful skills, also grants the ability to access a new boss, new gear, new ammunition for ranged and magic spells, and also a flat 6% damage boost in an endgame dungeon (God Wars Dungeon). One of the requirements for that quest is 77 Agility, a stupid, stupid requirement that no one, not even dumb idiot fuckers, likes.

FREE TO PLAY SKILLS

MELEE

Melee is broken down into three categories: Attack, Strength, and Defence. To understand combat, you need to know and love the �Combat Triangle� which governs the entire combat system. Melee beats Ranged, which beats Magic, which beats Melee. There are exceptions and rules but generally your sword will hurt Rangers more, and be less effective against Wizards.

If you raise your Attack and Strength, you will gain access to better and stronger weapons, and new abilities, such as the ability to spin like a top and attack everything around you, or the ability to summon a goddamn meteor from the sky to bring down on your enemy. If you raise your Defence, you be able to wear better and stronger armor, as well as unlock abilities that protect or heal you.
RANGED

Ranging is, obviously, a distance-based fighting style. Leveling your Ranged skill contributes to your accuracy and damage with bows, crossbows, darts, and other ranged weapons. Many of the abilities utilize direct damage and damage over time effects, while also letting you hop out of range of someone and bind them. Due to the Combat Triangle, a Ranger�s favorite target is mages, but not melee units.
MAGIC

Magic, until the Evolution of Combat, was essentially garbage in combat. Thankfully, it�s much better now. When raising Magic, you will unlock better and stronger spells and the ability to wear progressively better gear, as well as increasing your resistance to damaging spells (making Magic worthwhile to train for all combat styles). Magic ammunition comes in the form of �runes� which you can craft or buy or win as drops. In combat, Magic allows you to fire off spells of different attunements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth) as well as utility based spells like Binding and Teleport Block, which is moderately handy for PVP. PVE-wise, you can safe-spot in some locations, but also a lot of monsters come with an innate weakness to a certain element, or magic in general. Finally, Magic has a secondary, non-combat use; many spells allow you to teleport all over the world, unlock quests, and turn worthless items into gp!
CONSTITUTION

Constitution governs your health; for every level in Con you gain, you earn 10 additional base hitpoints. Like any other game, if you lose all your health, you die, so don�t do that. Armor now gives additional hitpoints directly tied to the armor level of the item; the better your armor, the more HP you have. Food is now scaled to your level, making higher tier food (such as Lobster or Shark) worthless to a low-level player (they would heal the same as shrimp or tuna depending on your level). You train Constitution automatically as you fight; a fourth of your experience gained in combat is converted to Constitution exp.
PRAYER

This skill, arguably one of the most important ones to train, also happens to be one of the most tedious and boring. You do not gain exp by activating Prayer, oh no, you earn it by burying bones and scattering ashes. It�s dumb, but thankfully Members has several ways to bypass or expedite the process. As to what Prayer actually does, it lets you activate toggles to aid you in combat; notable Prayers include the ability to severely reduce the damage Melee, Magic, and Ranged do to you (only one can be activated at a time), and the ability to boost several parameters at once, increasing your maximum damage output and reducing the damage you take. Furthermore, there are bonus Prayers (called Curses, unlocked through a questchain) that do the above, but also leech power from your opponent, and in some cases, even heal you while you do damage.
COOKING

Cooking lets you cook food. No seriously, that�s it. Higher cooking lets you cook food with a lessened chance to burn, and high enough cooking will prevent burning of certain types of food. Train cooking in the Clan Citadel (more on that later) for free and get ridiculous experience rates.
CRAFTING

Crafting lets you make pottery, jewelry, leather, and more. Crafting, unfortunately, isn�t very useful; most of the stuff you create will be High Alchemy�d for gp. However, crafting does have one important function; you can create exp urns that will boost your exp gain in certain important skills; most notably, Prayer.
FIREMAKING

My personal favorite for �most worthless skill ever invented�, Firemaking starts fires. That is the only purpose of it, outside of quest requirements. Firemaking was a test skill back in Runescape Beta that Andrew Gower put in, and for some unearthly reason, it remains in the game to this day. There was a recent update, called Bonfires, that lets you level it in one spot as opposed to starting a new fire every square. It�s highly afk-able, however, the Clan Citadel gives you nutzo exp rates so if you must train it, train it there.
FISHING

Fishing lets you sit at a body of water, or river, or pond, and grab fish. It�s highly AFK-able, and popular to train, since Fishing provides access to the easiest food to cook. Fish recipes are not any more complicated than �take raw fish, cook raw fish, eat cooked fish�, making fish the premier elite breakfaste of champions.
MINING

A boring skill that no one likes, you find a mineral and swing at it to extract ore, used to make weapons, armor, etc. It�s much more attention demanding than most other skills, and requires bank runs to gain any amount of exp efficiently. Higher levels let you mine better ore, and also unlock more AFK�able options.
RUNECRAFTING

Previously the most time-intensive, focus-demanding, spergy skill to train, Runecrafting has attained easymode status thanks to the Runespan update. Years ago, this is the process you would have had to take: Gather rune essence, teleport near or to the rune altar, run through some stupid maze or traps, create runes, empty pouches, create runes, teleport back to bank, restock, repeat. The experience rates were AMAZINGLY bad, often taking months of pure play time just to get to the 70s or 80s level range. With Runespan, here is how you, the lucky newbie, will train runecrafting. Step 1: Enter Runespan. Step 2: Click on level appropriate rune vortex. Step 3: Sit back, afk, and gain ridiculous experience rates.
SMITHING

This skill currently is on the list of things that needs to be updated. The levels of gear are way off; in the 90s range, you can create rune, something you stopped using likely in the mid 40s or 50s range. As with most terrible skills, you can train this in the Clan Citadel for good, free exp rates.
WOODCUTTING

Ignore how the real world works with relation to this skill in particular; this skill lets you cut down trees, with an axe. The lowest tier tree, Oak, is easy to knock around, however, Ivy and Maple and Yew trees are MUCH TOO DIFFICULT for a stupid scrub like you to touch, hence why you need to train this skill! It�s highly afk�able at level 68, allowing you to chop ivy for massive exp.
DUNGEONEERING

Dungeoneering is one of the sole reasons a lot of people came back to the game; it marked a turning point with Jagex design policy. Dungeoneering is a skill, yes, but also a mini-game, in which you and/or up to 4 other players enter a dungeon with nothing but the clothes on your backs; no armour, food, weapons, nothing surface-side can come with you. You must craft, cook, gather, and essentially scrounge for everything inside the dungeon. Higher levels let you access better gear, better floors, and increased exp gain. Finally, you gain tokens in relation to your experience, which allow you access to surface-side artifacts and items, most of which are EXTREMELY useful (Automatic bone-burying, anyone?) This is one of the most well designed things Jagex has ever done.

FOREWORD ABOUT PAY-TO-PLAY SKILLS

All free-to-play skills get access to extremely, EXTREMELY good bonuses in pay-to-play. Essentially, a lot of the tedium and grind is removed thanks to better support and game design with regards to the members� only areas. If you�re going to play RuneScape, it�s worth getting a Membership. Membership is only 7 dollars a month, half of most other P2P MMOs, and gets you access to years� worth of content. Furthermore, you can now buy Bonds (which, if you�ve ever played EVE Online, functions similar to PLEX) with in-game gold.

:siren:

It�s expensive for newbies, yes, but once you get going, it�s entirely possible to pay for membership purely with in-game earnings! :siren:

PAY-TO-PLAY SKILLS

AGILITY

Agility, which is the worst skill in the game to train at the moment, allows you to run obstacle courses to increase your mobility. Raising your agility levels decreases the amount of run energy drained while running, and allows you to run for longer periods of time. It also lets you traverse obstacles and you know what this skill loving sucks I hate it its so pointless and boring and tedious god damnit gently caress
CONSTRUCTION

Construction allows you to build yourself a pretty home and fill it with unique customizations, such as a boxing ring that allow for punch-out style brawls, and dungeons that you can fill with traps. Mostly a money-sink and mostly cosmetic, there are some higher level rewards that serve a gameplay function, such as a wardrobe to hold your cosmetic outfits and workbenches.
FARMING

King AFK skill, here�s how farming works: find farming plot; clear plot of weeds; plant seeds; come back in a few hours or days in real time; harvest crops. It�s got decent exp rates for certain things considering time spent actually farming is very, very small, and you get things that help tremendously with Herblore.

Themata wrote up a really good guide to farming, complete with pictures and gear desired!
FLETCHING

Right up there with Smithing, this skill is worthless. You turn logs into arrows and bows and poo poo. Most of the stuff you create will be High Alchemy�d.
SMOKE A WEED

A very useful, very expensive skill, Herblore lets you clean off herbs you find off of corpses and stick them into potions. Many of the higher-level potions boost your combat stats significantly and are very, very valuable. However, they are also untradeable, which means you�re going to have to shell out on ingredients.
HUNTING

A good example of old Jagex design philosophy, Hunter lets you trap small birds and rodents to harvest for bones and pelts, which you can then craft into armor to more efficiently hunt for things like rodents and tigers and poo poo. It actually does nothing, is attention intensive, and is basically worthless except for quest levels. Can sometimes be used to make some money, but there are far better options.
SLAYER

Slayer is a skill that basically holds hands with combat; you are assigned a task to go murder a bunch of dudes or monsters, and you go and do so. Every monster you murder gives you combat exp as well as Slayer exp. Certain Slayer levels are required to murder certain monsters; without the proper level (or item), your attacks will miss. Slayer is a very, very easy skill to train since you will be training combat as well, and can net you some decent money as well. ~a goode skill~
THIEVING

Hey did you ever want to be Robin Hood when you were a kid? You did? lmao what a dork, also this skill is nothing like that. You pickpocket NPCs and steal from stalls. Just as worthless as Agility, save for, again, Quest Requirements.
SUMMONING

An example of decent design, Summoning is a very useful skill that allows you to summon familiars. These familiars will do several things; aid you in combat, assist you in gathering or skilling, boost your stats, hold your items, and heal you. Summoning allows for extended monster killing sprees, easier PVP, and even better gathering.
DIVINATION

The newest skill, Divination has a lot of that old-school feel to it. World wounds have opened up all over the map, and players can go gather memories leaking from the wounds, and put them back. You gain insight and experience into the world as a result. Gameplay wise, it allows you to craft useful things, such as automatic healing food, and bank teleporters. You can also create personalized resource nodes to train in mining, hunting, and the like anywhere you want, with the caveat of being limited to once a day.
? INVENTION ?

Unreleased, but shows promise; will allow for existing weapons, armor, tools, etc to be modified; both cosmetically and stats-wise. Ideally, this would allow for unique customization regarding weapons and gear stats, allowing one to branch away from �just melee� or �just magic�; crit-based builds or magic-based melee, for example, could happen! If Invention wins the voting war, it�ll be released this summer; if not, late winter or early 2015 (most likely).

S4. Daily Challenges, Weekly Minigames and Monthly Activities

Every new day, you receive challenges; don't be confused by the ones without Stars on them! Challenges you receive (with stars) can be completed for bonus rewards, such as bonus experience, extra spins, or if it would normally cost money to complete a challenge, a grab bag full of things to either give you more experience (or sell back to the GE for a minor profit). Daily challenges are an excellent way to gain extra gold or experience, and you should be doing them every day!

:siren:

Also, if you are a member, save up your loyalty points that you get each month for being a member until you can afford the Jack of Trades aura. This aura is another daily event that grants you essentially free experience! :siren:

I made this to show you how quickly you can get all 20 skills for the new Supreme Jack of Trades. I grabbed an impling at the last minute cause it was there, but I was going to otherwise do the agility course.

Then there are weekly Minigames. The most popular is Tears of Guthix, which is accessible after clearing the Tears of Guthix quest (do this quest as soon as you can!) Once you complete the quest, you will be allowed to enter Juna's chamber once a week and collect tears; the blue tears are good, and give points, while the green tears are bad, and will deduct points. It may take a few tries, but you'll get the hang of only catching the blue tears. You can only stay in the cave for a certain amount of time (based on how many Quest Points you have); once you're out of time, you are forced out of the cave and gain experience in your lowest-leveled skill (if you have multiple skills at the lowest level, it will boost the one with the least experience; if you have tied on experience, then it is randomly chosen). This is a fantastic way to level up expensive or harder skills, such as herblore or prayer.

There are other weekly events as well; you'll unlock them as you complete quests and task.

Finally, the monthly activities; most notable of which is Troll Invasion. This mini-game is split into two options; a combat route, and a non-combat route. I have never done the non-combat route personally, so I cannot touch on that. Combat, however, can be tricky for a newer player! You must fight through 20 waves of different trolls; some are melee, some are ranged, some are magic and some will explode on death. You must familiarize yourself with the trolls, either by doing the waves or studying up on them in the wiki, and plan accordingly.

Each wave you complete gives you better rewards, with the best rewards being after all waves are cleared. If you die, you will fail the mission; but still get experience relevant to the number of waves you've completed. If you beat all 20 waves, you unlock hardmode, which shortens it to 7 waves, but increases the difficulty; its up to you if you think you can clear that.

Most of the game's other daily/weekly/monthly stuff is unlocked via questing, so get cracking! If you are ever stuck on a quest, make sure you consult the wiki or ask in clan chat!

Finally, here's a link to all the repeatable events that you can do, providing you meet the requirements of course!

S5. Treasure Hunter/Solomon�s Store

Treasure Hunter is a minigame that you can partake of twice a day (once if you�re a filthy free player), or more if you complete quests (as they usually grant a bonus key or two). It takes five seconds to do and gives you free stuff, ranging from the mundane (6,000 coins, a piece of cosmetic gear, small bonus experience in skills) to the extremely good (200,000,000 coins yes you read that right, rare armor, unique untradeable armor with combat stats, and huge chunks of bonus experience). Usually you will get nothing amazing, however, every now and then you hear of someone winning big, and hey, it�s free, so use your keys every day, shitlord.

:retrogames:

DO NOT BUY KEYS, EVER, FOR ANY REASON, IT�S NOT WORTH IT, YES THIS INCLUDES TRADING BONDS AS WELL :retrogames:

If you�re the type of person that wants to look special and unique, you can buy customized outfits from Solomon�s Store. They run specials usually every week or two for different things; one week it may be an elemental theme with gear that is covered in flames, ice, wind or earth, and another week it may be related to the Gods currently fighting over who gets the last bag of chips. Members get a free cash item every month, yet another perk of picking up membership. If you feel the need to spend real world money though, there are several cool alternations to skill animations; such as the Home Teleport spell at the beginning of the OP, and this:

S6. Quests/Activities

Okay so Agility is poo poo, and Slayer is rad. What else?

Manyorcas wrote a very good and detailed post about quests you should do, and I urge you to check it out. I cannot quote it due to forums archives being awful, but here is a link!

S7. The Clan Citadel aka the Easy Exp Express toot toot

Manythanks to Manyorcas (heh) for all of his hard work regarding the Citadel and getting us to T6, and a further thank you to FlexMentallo/99 CENTS AMIGO for pushing us to T7. They both put in a lot of hard work so that we all could live in comfort~

In the Citadel you can train one of several skills:

Woodcutting (creates wood)
Mining (creates ore)
Firemaking (turns wood into charcoal)
Smithing (turns charcoal and ore into bars)
Crafting (creates linen)
Summoning (creates helpers to do less popular tasks such as Firemaking or Woodcutting; exp rates suck)
Cooking (creates food)

You can train all of these skills, save for Summoning, at near equivalent (or in some cases, better) experience rates compared to regular training methods. Furthermore, it�s FREEEEEEE

When you gather roughly half of your resource cap for the week, you can gain bonus experience from the Quartermaster, which is applied to the skill of your choice and can be used anywhere; including inside the Citadel. Furthermore, each week you earn bonus experience, you gain fealty. Your fealty caps out at three, increasing experience gain by 15% for each rank (inside the citadel only). Each week you keep fealty rank 3, you get a free experience boost to any skill of your desire.

There is also the Clan Avatar; a summoned creature that gives you a certain amount of buffs. In order to activate the buffs, you need 300 Anagorgic Orts, which are obtained anytime you gain experience. You can only obtain 200 a day, however, 300 Orts gets you a week�s worth of buffs. Whenever an Avatar is out, they provide a 3% buff to every clan member on that world, and a 6% buff to anyone within the radius of the Avatar. Only Key-rank members are allowed to use the Avatar, however, if you ask nicely they may pull him out of storage!

Wow that�s rad, how do we improve the citadel?

We don�t! Once again, thanks to FlexMentallo, and also all the goons and goonettes who helped, the Citadel is now at max rank. You are experiencing the best the citadel has to offer. However, we do have to maintain the Citadel; which means coming to the Citadel and capping on resources. Please do this every week; there�s no reason not to!

Also, there is a pot of gold sitting in the clan�s coffers; if you completely cap out your resources for the week, let FlexMentallo know ingame, and he will give you 500k gold coins. Newbies, that is a fair amount of money for roughly an hour�s worth of effort, so jump on that!

S9. HTML5/Runescape 3

RuneScape 3 is live, sort of. Many older locations have been brought into the modern age with updated graphics and effects. Seriously, just look at this (The top half is the beta client, the bottom half is in-game currently):

For funsies, here�s the same location on the Old School �07 servers:

Note that HTML5 is still in beta, and will be for quite a while. Jagex flew a little too close to the sun with this one; most browsers can�t handle it at the moment. Jagex is currently working on a standalone client instead, I believe.

How to be a Dungeoneer:

1. Intro
2. Basics
2a. Doors
2b. Monsters
3. Special Rooms
4. Ring of Kinship
5. Gatestones
6. Binds
7. Bosses
8. Special Gear
9. Glossary
10. Misc.

1. Intro
Dungeoneering is a beast of a skill with a lot to learn in order to be good at it. Basically take everything Runescape has to offer and stuff it into a dungeon that you and up to 4 other players are trying to rush through as fast as possible.

If you�ve never �dunged� before, you�ll need to talk to the Tutor at Daemonheim, and solo through dungeons until you unlock Complexity 6. Then you can start running with others. Fellow goons can help you get gear appropriate for your level, and show you the ropes. Also, especially for low-to-mid levels, dunging solo or with goons is always better than with pubbies. At higher levels pubbies are more likely to know what to do (but they�re still pubbies).

2. Basics
For every dungeon be it small, medium, or large, there will be a critical path, and a bonus path/rooms. The critical path is the rooms required to go through to get to the boss room, and end the dungeon. Bonus rooms are for an extra 13% xp at the end of the dungeon (if you open them all). These usually have skill doors requiring over 99 in a stat (use a potion or a divination portent), or very very low skills. Dying will lose you xp, and after 9 deaths it just stops counting because sheesh.

2a. Doors
There are four kinds of doors- plain doors, key doors, skill doors, and guardian doors. Plain doors don�t require anything special, you can open them and barge right through. (Though some special rooms have plain doors that are locked until you complete the room- see section 4.) Key doors have a pre-school style �match the colored shape with the colored hole� thing. Keys are scattered across the dungeon, and once picked up are shared with your party. Every time you open a door to a new room, look for a red dot on the minimap. That will usually be a key. Keys are always in the same spot for each style of room; you�ll learn to be very quick at this the more you dung. Skill doors require a certain level in a skill to open. This can mean it�s above your skill level- another teammate might be able to do it or you�ll have to make a potion or a portent. If it requires above 99, it�s a bonus room. Lastly, guardian doors have an eye above them. You will have to kill every monster in the room before the door can be opened. Mastyxes do not count as a monster, so you can leave them alive.

2b. Monsters
The monsters within Daemonheim will change as you get deeper, to fit the theme of the floors, but here are some you�ll always encounter:
Shades- These fuckers are annoying, they use ranged and mage attacks, but they�re not nearly as bad as they were before EoC.
Forgotten Mages- Very annoying since they can bind you in place (use Freedom), lower your melee stats, and disable your shadow-silk hood�s effect for a while. Kill these first.
Forgotten Warrior/Ranger- Standard minions, these and the mages comes in Tiers 1-11 (but only drop T1-10 weapons and armor).
Dragons- Come in all the usual flavors. Might want to use protect from magic so their fire doesn�t hurt as much.
Other foes not found on all floors:
Necromancer- Found on occult floors. Very annoying. Summons melee zombies and does everything a Forgotten Mage does. Once it�s dead its zombies will also die after a while.
Skeletal Mage- Uses magic but cannot do anything a Necro or Forgotten Mage does.
Reborn Mage- Found on warped floors. Incredibly annoying, it�s similar to a Necromancer except it summons Reborn Warriors which can melt into the floor and follow you through a door- which means you�ll have to kill it if you want to go through a guardian door you�ve already opened.

So, for Guardian doors, the order of killing usually goes like this: Dragon > Mages (reborn/necro first, then forgotten) > shades > other stuff.

3. Special Rooms
Some rooms require a puzzle to solve. Becoming a master of the ferrets, bookcases, and riddles is essential for pubbies to worship you/not have higher level dg-ers rage at you.
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Dungeoneering/Puzzles
I won�t go over them all and I haven�t read that wiki article but I�ll make a few tips here:
Colored ferrets- Only �scare� them if they are next to a wall/corner. It�s easiest with only 1 person in the room.
Running ferret (hunter)- There�s a tree on the wall which you can chop and fletch into a trap. If you put the trap on the square the ferret was on when the room was opened, then run out of the room, the ferret will eventually return and get caught. Sometimes the ferret spawns on a square you can�t lay a trap on (why? Because Jagex), but putting a couple traps around that square usually works.
Levers- Pull all of them within a certain time limit. For a 5-man team, you have about 2 or 3 game ticks to do this. It�s possible to do a 5er�s levers with only 4 people, but it�s difficult. 90% of pubbie rage-quits happen after they die once or twice here because of poor lever-pullers.

4. Ring of Kinship
Click it to open the party interface. From here you can form a party, check what floors you�ve done, and reset your progress. Inside a dungeon, you can customize it to give boots to your preferred style of combat. It costs tokens to upgrade your boosts and is expensive for the top upgrades (that last 1% is over 200k).

5. Gatestones
A portable teleport. At level 32 magic, you can create a gatestone using 3 cosmic runes. Then you can drop this gatestone and teleport back to it later. At 64 magic, you can use 3 law runes to teleport to the group gatestone. The portal in the home room will also take you to the group gatestone. It helps then to have 54 rune crafting, so you can make laws and cosmics at the start of the dungeon. Or, doing the medium Daemonheim tasks will allow you to claim 40 laws and cosmics from the Smuggler. If you don�t have 54 rune crafting, but do have 64 magic, you should bind law runes.

Learning how to use your gatestone is a must. As you go through a dungeon, when you encounter a door you don�t have the key for, drop your gatestone and continue on. It�s helpful to say what you just gated, a simple �gr cor me� or �levers gated.� Once your party gets the key, teleport back to your gatestone and open the door, or you might be asked to take the group gatestone with you. Making a new gatestone will break the dropped one, losing your teleport to that spot. Mistakes happen and you will do this accidentally sometimes.

6. Binds
You can bind 10 items (and a potion if you�ve done some Daemonheim tasks, and an extra 2 items for doing all of them). However the bound items you can actually use is 1 at level 1 dung, 2 at 20, 3 at 50, 4 at 90, and 5 at 120. Right-click the Smuggler to see your bound items.

As you can see, you can set up 3 preferred combinations. Usually melee, mage, and range, but I was experimenting with a dual-wield range setup (Fun but I don�t recommend it unless they change dual-wield to one bind).

Your first bind should be the best 2-handed weapon you can use of your preferred style. A sword, spear, or maul for melee, a shortbow for ranged, and a staff for magic.
Your second bind should be a top for your combat style.
Your third should be matching legs until you find a Shadow-silk hood.
Your fourth should be the legs until you find a Blood necklace.
And fifth should be legs.

You can also bind up to 125 runes or arrows (225 if you�ve done some quest). Staffs will provide all elemental runes, however, so you are better off with arrows bound (unless you don�t have 54 rune crafting or the medium tasks done). The checkbox to the left of the loadout selects which one you want to start each dungeon with, and the arrow to the right will switch out what you�re wearing for that one.

7. Bosses
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Dungeoneering/Bosses

Bosses are the only way to get the level 99 Tier 11 gear, and the only way to end the dungeon and get your full xp and token reward is to kill them and go down the ladder. Most are easy, some have a few gimmicks:
Astea Frostweb- Frozen floors, use magic, summons ice spiders, and cycles through protection prayers. Her prayer doesn�t show overhead like normal though, it�s stuffed in that box with her life points and combat level.
Bulwark beast- Abandoned floors. It�s best just to use magic for this one, so you don�t have to worry about smashing through it�s armor with a pickaxe.
Stomp- Furnished floors. Annoying. You have to pick up the 2 crystals and put them on the lodestones to defeat him. He makes the ceiling collapse, but the rubble can be mined through.
Sagitairre- Furnished floors. Uses protect from range and teleports around a spiral path. Best to use magic so you don�t have to run as much.
Night-gazer Khighorahk- Furnished floors. You have to light at least one of the torches in the corners to damage it. The torches go out after a short while and have to be re-lit. Has a second phase, but all 4 torches will stay lit.

8. Special Gear
There are Slayer mosnters in the dungeons, which will sometimes drop useful gear. The best is the Shadow-silk hood, dropped by Night Spiders, and the Blood Necklace, dropped by Edimmu. The Hexhunter bow, dropped by Soulgazers, is not as great as it was before EoC, unfortunately.
The Hood will hide you from Forgotten warriors, rangers, skeletal warriors and rangers, and zombies. A non-skeletal mage can deactivate your hood for a bit though, but it�s still worthwhile. Skeletal mages can see you but won�t deactivate. All non-humanoids, including ice and earth warriors and giants, can see you.
The Blood Necklace has a 5% crit bonus to all combat styles, and also does damage to adjacent monsters every 10 seconds and heals you half of what was hit.
The Hexhunter bow used to be great- it would hit harder the higher the target�s magic level was. This is no longer the case with EoC, instead it�s just a shield bow with the fastest speed and slightly less DPS than the Tier 11 shortbow. Everyone who owns one is hoping the old effect will be returned.

9. Glossary
There are a lot of terms to know when Dungeoneering. Here are some common ones:
In a dungeon:
Ggs- group gatestone
Gt- group gatestone tele (i.e., �everyone gt now�)
Gd- guardian door (e.g �gtgd,� group gatestone tele and help clear this room)
Mgt- Move group gatestone (sometimes accompanied with player name, or a cardinal direction, i.e. �mgts,� move gt south, etc)
Bgt- Buying group gatestone (said when someone wants to move the ggs)
Sgt- Selling group gatestone (ggs has been dropped and needs to be moved)
Mgtb- move ggs to the boss
Mgte- move ggs to the end (if boss is already dead)
Gtb- tele to the ggs and kill the boss
Gte- tele to the ggs and go down the ladder to end the dungeon
On surface, forming a party:
Example:
O+3 snl 110+ Occult floor, 3 people needed, suicide no leech, must be 110+ dungeoneering
Suicide- This person isn�t caring about how much they die
Leech- Some lazy person will just be sitting in the smuggler�s room while the others do the dungeon for them.
C1s- complexity 1 rushes. Some people like to do floors 1-29 as c1. It�s a quick way to get the lower floors out of the way.
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Dungeoneering/Abbreviations

10. Misc.

Joining a Pubbie Party:
On a Dungeoneering world like 77, after adding all the autotypers advertising Leech clans to your ignore list, find someone spamming a floor you need and Trade them. That's the secret pubbie handshake to get into a party, and the host will Invite you. To see the message easily in the flood of chat, it helps to filter your chatbox using the Trade/Assist tab.

A good interface setup makes Dungeoneering easier. This is what I use:

I�ve probably left out something important. The wiki has it all, of course, and experience has the rest.

Do quests.
Do tasks.
Do citadel.

S12. Old School Runescape

If you're feeling extremely nostalgic, there are Old School servers available. These servers started and tend to stick around when Runescape was in its 2007 format; graphics, quests, and all. The game has gone in a different direction than how it did on the main servers, with new updates not seen on regular Runescape. I personally do not play OSRS, however, I will endeavor to link to the most relevant posts about it.

There are a handful of people from SA that play on OSRS - the clan name is El GoonSquad!

There was an update to OSRS involving the Wilderness, which appears to be a good try at rejuvenating PVP; full details can be found here.

Smeed posted:

Is the money still inflating like crazy in this game? It feels like I leave rich, quit playing for a few years and then log back in poor. Where does 50M get you these days?

Currently, gold is sort of anchored to bonds now. One bond is worth roughly 7m at the moment, and a bond gets you two weeks of game-time, so it's natural to assume that 7m = $3.50 USD. (also, not directed at you, but no one go off and buy gold unless its through the bond system, thanks; this psa brought to you by coca cola)

In-game, 50m can get you quite a lot, but it can't get you the best stuff ever. If you're coming back, it'd probably be a good idea to look at the Grand Exchange for things you'd be able to equip right now and use, and take a look at the trending prices via the official site.

Kgummy: Aug 14, 2009

It turns out that 'eight of the best' bts video is about invention versus elf city.

Eight of the best questions people had about it.

Elf quest:
Requirements will be Underground Pass as a certainty, and it sound like Within the Light. Expansions to elf city will probably require an elf grandmaster quest.

A quest will be released either with the update or the weeks that follow. It will be a 'combination quest' that will 'tie up everything' that they 'could possibly tie up'.

"We listened to what people wanted: High level Varrock." And a grandmaster elf quest aka Mourning's End Part 3. Seren will be 'seperated out' from that quest, apparently?

They really want elf city to put in grand exchange. Size of elf city is unknown as of now. Sounds like they're not going to hold themselves to the size on the map. One example they gave of stuff that they might add because of polls is 'one segment might need fishing' so they'll put a port and make it closer to the sea.

Inventor:
Some sort of tie in to all gathering skills. They weren't real clear on that. They're being 'careful' so that it won't be a pain to level inventor if you don't have the gathering skills up to that level.

They want to move away with the junk items cluttering up the economy like smithing and the like. Oh god, they're going to do something based on what they learned with Artisan's Workshop. Methods that don't produce a 'whole mess of stuff', but you can still make stuff that you can profit from. So I have no idea what the hell they're on about.

Divine energy is invention power source. Re-confirmation, because someone asked how div tied into inventor.

Invention narrative is not going to cause an industrial revolution. It's self-prototypes. Stuff that's not 'ready for the masses' kind of thing. So basically an excuse not to change the tech levels because of the skill.

Yelps and Squeal of Fortune are being replaced with Treasure Hunter.
News post here: http://services.runescape.com/m=news/reinventing-the-squeal

Jagex posted:

Squeal of Fortune is undergoing a major facelift � in fact, it�s being totally reinvented. In just a few weeks' time, it's getting a complete graphical rework and a bunch of gameplay tweaks. Get ready for Treasure Hunter!

So, what�s Treasure Hunter all about?

Like Squeal of Fortune, every day you�ll have the opportunity to win randomly selected prizes.
Instead of spinning a wheel, you�ll use keys to open chests, each of which holds a prize.
The prizes and their rarities will be similar to Squeal of Fortune, but tweaked so they�re more relevant to your character�s skill levels. We hope you�ll want to keep more of what you win.
Expect a completely new interface: one designed with the central themes and spirit of RuneScape in mind.

Those of you wondering 'What happens to my spins?' - don�t worry! Every remaining spin in your possession will be automatically converted to a key when Treasure Hunter launches.

For other questions, check out the official FAQ. This will be expanded upon release, and we invite you to ask questions and leave suggestions on the forums.

Treasure Hunter is being unleashed in the coming weeks. Watch this space for further announcements!

The RuneScape Team

Sounds better than SOF. If you go to the forums discussion there is also an FAQ.

So it's SoF with scaling. Sounds like a good improvement.

I have a bunch of rune sets for newish players looking to kick some rear end, so I'll hop on the GoonScape and hand em out... soon.

Is this game still a lot of really fun concepts built on top of the worst grind since Maplestory?

It's really eased up a lot with mini games, daily tasks, citadel (weekly clan upkeep training) and high level quests. Makes it feel a bit less like work.

Basically this, Jagex have been practically giving out Bonus EXP for everything and anything, and in general much of their new content is trying to go away from the grind Runescape's known for, make it slightly more interesting or at least just make you able to afk it.
