Robots don’t get Carpal Tunnel
Jagex has always had a smear campaign against autoing/macroing/botting. Most players listen to them and their warnings of “If you do it, we will catch you, and you will be banned.” Out of fear for their precious accounts, people don’t even look for cheats.
I want to tell you otherwise.
I have played RuneScape for roughly 4 years. It will be 5 this June, not counting the breaks I have taken. For most of those 4 years, I was the model player. I reported players when I thought it was neccessary, I didn’t break rules (except swearing, but hey, that’s been lifted a bit) and most of all, I didn’t bot. RuneScape was never really boring. I was a member for most of the time, and so I had plenty to do. RuneScape was good.
Shortly before 2008 breathed its last breath, I re-kindled a friendship with an old mate. He introduced me to sites such as Sythe and Fagex, and taught me the art of scamming. Together we scammed two accounts, and several membership PINs. Sythe and Fagex also have a RSBot section, and I looked through it and eventually downloaded RSBot.
I wish I had done it sooner. RSBot is easily the best thing I have done in my RuneScape career. I am botting right now! Jagex claims they will find you, and yet in 3+ months of near constant botting, I have not been warned nor banned.
As the title proclaims, robots don’t get Carpal Tunnel. If RuneScape is getting boring, you can do what I always did, and take a break. Alternatively, you can take the step and get RSBot. You will never be the same.
Turbo from the RS Investor blog here posting again for the Runescape Blog with my second installment (Click here to read part one) in the series. Today I will focus on some of the lesser known aspects of potting for training. In the first section, I talked about the potions you should be using, and can probably make yourself. Here I will go over some of the ones that you might need help with.
Any player, regardless of how little money they have, should, at a minimum, always be using normal Strength and Super Attack potions while training any combat related skill (I will skip the making of potions, as I assume you already know how, you should be making all of the potions you use though). Super attack potions are actually cheaper than normal attack potions, so there is no reason to go with normal ones unless you are really broke, then attack mixes are the cheapest thing on the market. This goes for free players as well, in the case of strength potions, they are cheap and well worth it. This is the first of a 3 part series on the effective use of potions to decrease your training time by increasing your stats.

My friends and me were once talking about earning GP, when I started wondering if it was possible for the value of the Gold Coin to decrease like the American Dollar. The more money in the sytem, the less that currency is worth, right? After a few minutes of pondering, I realized that this was not possible because the big “J” has implemented a few factors into the game that do not allow this to be possible.
The first one is probably obvious. The players with lots of gold quit and when they do, the money pretty much leaves the system because the coins will never go to another player who might be able to use it Of course, they may give it out in the Falador Party Room, but lower-leveled players leave the game even more often than the more higher ones. The second one is the one most players might not suspect…Summoning. “What do you mean?” you might ask. Where do the Spirit Shards and Pouches come from? Players can’t make them, and the only way you can actually acquire them is to buy from NPCs. Well where do the Coins go when you buy the shards and pouches? They get destroyed. And the amount of Shards and Pouches needed to get to 99 Summoning is 120 Million gp! The amount is never achieved by most players.
That’s all I could think of for now, and hopefully I have answered some of your guy’s questions out there :).
The road till maxing out Runescape
Hopefully by telling you about how I spent my 6,5 years playing this game I can give you a better insight in how things used to be and how they changed. Also showing you how it all happened for me, off course I realize that everyone will have a completely different story to tell and everyone plays Runescape in their own way. If it sounds like a bragging story sometimes this isn’t my intention at all. I am afraid that it will be pretty self centered because I don’t remember a whole lot about years ago only what I was doing at that time. But I hope you will enjoy reading what I’ve been up to the last 6,5 years.
