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.
Runescape Economy - The Gold Coin
Submitted by Stasik50
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.
House Parties are fun!
Good day one and all!
It certainly has been some time since my last article. I am terribly sorry for the unexpected hiatus! However, I am back and I am here with a present.
Speaking of presents, I want to present a very special presentation that will hopefully present to me some very presentable responses from you!
I am very happy to announce that The Runescape Blog has made its first Vlog (Video Blog!) and we are possibly the first Runescape-centered blog to do so! It is quite a large video, around thirty-five minutes long and i have embedded it below. Enjoy!
