  1. Which is your favourite RuneScape town? Where's your chill spot? I remember I met a fellow MaSoRS member Bobby in Falador. It was the coolest hang out spot ever! There use to be a little fence in front of the bank. I'm not sure if he was the one to start the trend or not, but it seems many other players such as myself followed We would just stand there for hours doing absolutely nothing. Hehe my first official post on the public forums
  2. Those are some good ones
  3. I did a screen shot of our desktop with all the folders and set as background, switched the left click with right click, and changed the keyboard to dvorak settings, and made the mouse extremely sensitive to movement the night before, but the joke was on me when my parents were waking me up at like 3am trying to figure out what was wrong with the computer. My parents were cursing and crying... infuriated with the computer... I just remember my dad was deleting all this stuff on the computer and restarting it over and over again... he just couldn't get it to "work" and none of the folders were opening! It was amusing though
  4. I think my good wealth (for my age in this area) ruinned the jewelry idea lol but yeah were outdoor all the time.
  5. That sounds like something I'd love to do with my girlfriend. ...*starts writing notes* tell me more haha All of it sounds really fun.
  6. Wow, that's going above and beyond! It almost makes me think you are like a big family of science; wonder kind of job your parents have. I hope to see some pictures of the stuff you find or of these amazing mines.
  7. Sick! I bet your friends go with everyday, I know I would
  8. Ever find anything extremely strange? or a rare find? Oh sweet, I use to paintball a lot too! Aprz and I use to go with an old friend of mine all the time. I suppose if you're an ASM of paintball field then we're probably total noobs compared to you; I remember seeing on TV some kind of like town that was actually designed for paintballing all day. What a dream. It's like a warzone out there. I want to go one day!
  9. I was watching those in Spanish the other day. It was awesome Fossil hunting? How do you do that? Interesting!
  10. I use to enjoy it a lot I like a good risk. Reminds me of work.
  11. This is a guide guide now! I have no further criticism for to stress your guide and better it. It's very easy to follow step-by-step and has many examples, well written, organized + it has one funny picture; you can't beat that. Job well done +1 I will recommend this guide to others. Thanks fishin4mypkr! Of course, we can't just simply say that you are done. I know that there are others out there reading through your guide and we must abide by the laws of Guide Submissions. I have to admit though, you got a lot done within two days. I'm highly impressed- I wish you wrote this guide while I was a Guide-EM lol.
  12. Excellent suggestion Ahsgreenwave! That really does make it a lot easier to follow. Good use of your available resources. Guide has some great developments I see. I hate to nitpick but yellow is such a difficult colour to see. I know it's just a note but... yellow... it's tough . You could probably italicize your notes or type the word NOTES in caps. For example, NOTES: After testing: I can firemake 1,100 logs per hour I can make 600,000 GP/hr Maples – 135xp; 84 gp each Magic – 303.8xp; 1431gp each Maples – 148,500 experience per hour with -92,400 GP/hr Magic – 334,180 experience per hour with -1,574,100 GP/hr I want 4,000,000 firemaking experience NOTES vs Notes That or just try a different colour. Might be too many colours in the guide though; that could get too distracting. I forgot to suggest the use of [QUOTE][/QUOTE] It would go perfect with your original or generic formula to finding max efficiency and makes a large emphasis on it since it's one of the most important part of your guide. For example, Formula for max efficiency Formula for max efficiency for your personal needs You're doing great. This guide is dripping with success!
  13. I was just remembering back when I initially began RuneScape back on my old Mac. I have no idea how that silly computer worked with RuneScape! Looking at the computer today, I can only laugh at how pathetic it is. With that old Mac computer I had, the mouse that came with it only had "one click" which was left-click only. I didn't know how to adjust any of the setting on RuneScape to treat all clicks as right click or to hit Ctrl key + click. I remember that it took a long time to get up to my first 1k gp, many many many weeks. I earned my first Mithril Scimitar with the 1,200 gp I had... The person on the other end had no idea what I was doing during the trade transaction. I told him that my right click wasn't working, and that he would have to be patient in order to fulfill the trade. He requested the trade so that I could click on it. He watched for a couple minutes as I clicked each coin one-by-one into the trade screen so that he could get 1,200 gp. I was so happy for my Mithril Scimitar. I remember when killing Goblins was all that I would do. All the drops stunk except for Goblin Mail because it was actually worth some money compared to the other items. If I sold it to the item shop, it would be valued 16 gp! I was lucky every single time I got one as a drop. The only way I could sell them though was through right click, which I had no idea how to do because of my silly Mac. I can't remember how I found out about the setting in RuneScape that makes your left click act as a right click; I was highly embarrassed though. I remember when I met one of my first "wealthy" friends in RuneScape. I asked him how he earned all his money. What he use to do was stand in the Varrock item shop (general store) all day and wait for someone to sell their gem. He would immediately buy all the gems and resell them for a little bit more. He did this all the way up to a Rune 2 Hander valued at 60k gp. Super rich fellow! He use to say words like "LMAO" which I thought was a slang or typo for "LAME!" He also said other words like "LOL" which my dad taught me was "Lots of Love." I could see that a lot of people in RuneScape really loved each other So... my question to you is... Can you beat my stories? I am a noob. I have more nooby stories to come. True story. I give permission to make this a public thread, especially because it is my 4200th post.
  14. I like that MaSoRS is where I can post and get responses. It seems obvious. If I make a post, then I get a response. However, this is different on other forums such as the RuneScape Official Forums. There are just so many members and people posting there that it literally becomes a cluster of spam. It's not rare that posts are overlooked. For example: If I make a post. Somebody else makes a post. The next person makes another post. The next post is made. Later you have like 51 responses to the first post in that thread and nobody really reads through all those pages; it's not practical! It makes me feel that my post is pointless. On MaSoRS, your posts are appreciated! There's a somewhat relaxed area but still mature. Of course, you get drama here and there as you would anywhere else, but it's not too bad. I think it's in our human nature to like a little bit of drama anyways Oh, and let us not forget that Mining and Smithing are the coolest skills in RuneScape!
  15. The saving chickens picture made me laugh out loud. The wording in this paragraph was somewhat confusing, but maybe because the information is very obvious... mostly the red part: I would add a section on how to make an efficiency calculator on Excel sort of like Gold's guide to merchanting... or... you could team up with Aprz and see if he could make some kind of input table using your formulas so that it would give the output results to each person that stops by your guide. I bet it would not be too hard, and it would be really sick! I would do more touch up on advance training methods instead of recommending to look it up. Research a few on your own and post 'em up as examples of how to get best results. You even could, with the permission of the original writers, add a link to some guides you thought provided some good advance training methods. I think it would be a good idea to post up some common mistakes too so people know what to watch out for. I know some people "think" they are being efficient and find out later that their opportunity cost was too great. That ought to really help your guide out and expand it more. Other than that, it is a very good guide great job!
  16. For free software security essentials is actually not bad. AVG has been quite trendy as well however I am not personally much of a fan. Honestly though, just as Faylen recommended, try not to rely on free software; the general golden rule is "you get what you paid for." Frightening, huh? Once again. A very good guide, I like it.
  17. Aha, a paradox! I like it. I feel like overall this was a very well written guide and would recommend it to others for reading. A needed guide. It'll serve it's function well. I only saw one strange wording that could confuse someone: Kaspersky is such sound software. I've also heard some great things about ESET (NOD32) and Malwarebytes as alternatives. Just wanted to throw that out there so it's not like people only have one software to turn to. You sir, get a +1 in my book great work!
  18. If they had that update, it certainly would be an exciting one. I wonder how they would bring about the "ores" though. Wouldn't exactly make sense as a drop; neither as a mining ore. The only thing I could think of would be the Jurassica Park method through which it's fossilized sweat off the dragon (Well... actually... it would be a mosquito that sucked the blood out of a dinosaur dragon and then got stuck in tree sap that became fossilized... BUT CLOSE ENOUGH RIGHT?!) Or maybe no ore would be introduced, and just merely you would smith dragon scale? I think that would be really cool!
  19. Help me Andrew, give Loki +1s

  20. It only lets me give so many +s >.<

  21. I don't know why I enjoy mining so much; really, it's the same skill as any other. All you do is click. I suppose I just like the Mining Guild and the city of Falador very much.
  22. Holy crap, I think Skool would love you o.O
