Mechscape HQ - MechHQ

Mechscape is that new game by Jagex that is better than Runescape which is not yet released. So we've decided to totally steal this idea somebody emailed us and we have here for you a Mechscape blog entry, years late. We'll just pretend we did this a year or two ago.

Anyways, where was I? Oh yes, "we" would like to point your attention to this robotic space sci-fi mmorpg involving buying upgrades and levels and whatnot, to raise levels and money in order to compete against Zezima. Oh come on, we all know Zezima will be addicted to this like crack, or even more addicted, like he's addicted to Runescape. So what is the Mechscape game all about? I just told you, but if you want more information, see if there's any information on Runescape Community, because we obviously don't have it. We'll copy it when they release. We might call it Mechscape Help or Mechscape Tips.

The only thing Unfair about RuneHQ is that they unfairly plagiarise

What is this rumor going around about RuneHQ being a plagiarizer. According to us, the word "plagiarism" is journalism jargon for, "STOP STEALIN MY STOOF", and we obviously don't believe that being a cry-baby helps anyone. Copyright Shmopyright. "Copyright" is a word that comes from two words: "Copy" and "Write". And that's exactly what we do! We copy it off Zybez, and then we write about it here.

It's just the way things are, okay. Get used to it. We copy because we give an unfair advantage to ourselves when it comes to Runescape websites. It's in RuneHQ's name, you can see it for yourself.

RuneHQ's first affiliation, with Jessica's Slayer Database

RuneHQ's first affiliation is with a website that does NOT copy Zybez Runescape Help. It is called Jessica's Slayer Database.

We might copy it one day.

RuneHQ Runescape Toolbar for Firefox extension

We woke up last night with a burning itch at 3 AM. Something had happened. Zybez had released something awesome. The itch burned on our arms. We rushed to our computers. And indeed, Voldemor-err-Iam4smart2u was nudging us on MSN. We opened Internet Explorer and the homepage was, of course, Zybez Runescape Help, and there it was: "ZYBEZ RUNESCAPE HELP TOOLBAR" right on the main page of Zybez as the latest news release. We gabbed our magic-wands-err-notepad and started to scribble down things that Zybez toolbar had that we should copy. After 3 minutes, we had already started working on our own toolbar. And within 24 hours, we had our own toolbar released. Of course, it may not be as good as Zybez's, but we'll be able to achieve the World Record for "Most plagiarism by a Runescape website". After posting some good reviews for our toolbar and some bad ones for Zybez (we gave them 1 star out of 5! hehehehe...) we went to bed, sleeping soundly.

RuneHQ not the biggest or largest Runescape website

Instead, the champion (the largest Runescape website) is of course Zybez Runescape Help. It is also the most original and the most popular. It always has been. It's just the way things are, and just the way things will stay. We (RuneHQ) will always stay the way we are: copying everything that Zybez does (and trying to copy other ideas we see on the Internets). Sometimes we fear that Zybez will do something stupid just to mess with us, and we'll copy it, and then they'll laugh. ... because they can afford to lose a few visitors. We can't. Just look at at the active users online on our forums. It's a huge difference between ours and Zybez Runescape Community. In fact, it is an insult to compare.

Who is in a close 2nd place? Well, it's actually a blog that few people know about called Runescape Tips, also known as tippit.

Tip.it got back-stabbed

We at the RuneHQ heard that the 3rd Runescape website online ever got back-stabbed by somebody that was leaving. Here is a clipping:

Dear Tip.It members,

I'm happy to announce that the forum is up, but I also have sad news. We lost 2 and half months worth of posts. Of course you will ask why and how this happened. Unfortunately one of our own staff, an ex tech admin who maintained the forum for a number of years, backstabbed us as his goodbye act. He used his inside technical knowledge to hurt us. Tip.It has lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars that I will have to cover, but what is more important is the loss of 2 and half months of creativity from our community: ideas, guides, jokes, links and much more. We worked hard to recover whatever was possible and for this we can thank Neminon and especially can thank Marshalrusty who spent sleepless nights and a ton of his free time to bring the forums back. His help was priceless.

A positive thing is that we are restarting with better, faster forum software PhpBB 3 that is complete with an all new engine to make your visits here more user friendly, and also gives us better tools to manage and maintain this really very BIG board.

This community has grown over the years to hundreds of thousands of people visiting our Tip.It web site and forums and sharing the way Tip.it was born to be, an independent and open site where we grow to respect each other in a friendly, helpful and FUN atmosphere.

There are over 60 active staff members who every day voluntarily try to help you, by creating web content and keeping this board up and running. Please understand this loss and have a little patience so that we all keep this community better than ever.

Thank you,
Silverion
On behalf of the Tip.It staff


Take THAT tipit ! You don't even have a real domain. What sort of lame-ass domain is "tip.it". Sounds like "dip.it"... or "tip it over" or even "dip shit" if you stretch your imagination a little. Speaking of imagination, we're thinking of copying Zybez Radio. Oh wait, a little bird tells me we already have!

Last week we decided we want to copy Zybez's ticker bar

Since we've already copied Zybez Runescape Help's price categories, and pretty much everything else ('RuneKit', Site skins, etc) , we decided it's about time we copied the ticker bar.

And ... just to make it fun, after copy-pasting it, all we'll do is CENTER it. hahahaha... that's the ONLY change we'll make to it! It'll make "headlines" (pun intended) on the Internets: "RuneHQ copies Zybez's ticker"

Good thing there are no patents and copyright laws on the Internet.

Smoking Kills Quest Guide

Smoking Kills

Description: Pollnivneach has a new inhabitant whose name is not Ali (or any variant of Ali, curiously enough). Who could this mysterious stranger be, and how did her sister end up trapped in a dungeon filled along with Slayer monsters?

Do you dare to venture into the depths beneath Pollnivneach, where unknown dangers await amid smoke and screaming? The perils will be great, but, when rescuing a damsel in distress, the act should be reward enough...

Difficulty: Intermediate

Length: Short

Requirements:
Levels:
25 Crafting
35 Slayer
85 Combat

Quests:
The Restless Ghost
Icthlarin's Little Helper

Items Needed: Cat speak amulet or Catspeak amulet(e), Range or Magic attack method (to kill 6 level 31 monsters), Armor (to protect from melee attacks by monsters up to level 140 and range/magic attacks by monsters up to level 56), Prayer potion, food, Pet cat or Pet kitten, Ghostspeak amulet, Earmuffs, Facemask, and a Rope. Note: The Rope is only needed if you did not set it during the Dealing along with Scabaras Quest.

Items recommended: Shantay pass, coins, or Pharaoh's sceptre to travel into the Kharidian desert.

Items Acquired During the Quest: Ranged path key, Magic path key, Steel pickaxe, and Banshee voice.

Quest Points Reward: 1

Reward: Access to a new slayer master and dungeon in Pollnivneach, new Slayer rewards available, Ability to construct combined slayer items, new slayer items available, and 5k Slayer XP.

Start Point: Northern area of Pollnivneach.

To Start: Talk to Sumona.

1. Get your Catspeak amulet and travel to Pollnivneach. Speak to Sumona in the house north of the General Store Stall. She will ask you for help finding her twin sister, who has fallen down a well.

Sumona

2. Go to the center of Pollnivneach to the Well. Equip your Catspeak amulet. Climb down the Well and Ali Cat will jump out and stop you. Talk to him to get information about the Banshees, who are at the bottom of the Well, and the Slayer master, Catolax, who will teach you how to defeat the Banshees.

Ali Cat

3. Gather your Pet cat or Pet kitten, Catspeak amulet, Ghostspeak amulet, Armor, Ranged/Magic attack method, Prayer potion, Waterskins(4), some food, and travel method to the Agility Pyramid. You will also need a rope for the shortcut from the Agility Pyramid to the tombs, if you have not set this before during the Dealing along with Scabaras Quest, and a Ring of dueling, which may make travel back to Pollnivneach faster. Using teleports or the carpet travel system (to Sophanem), make your way to the desert Agility Pyramid.

Desert map to tomb area

4. If you have set the rope at the shortcut southeast of the Agility Pyramid, climb down the wall into the agility course and go to the southwest corner. Climb the rope to the top of the plateau. Be prepared for Skeletons (lvl 125) at the top of the plateau that will attack. Go east and climb over the Low wall. You will come upon an Achaeologist and his assistant. You can refill your Waterskins at the spring next to their camp.

If you have not set the rope at the shortcut southeast of the Agility, you will have to walk south of the agility course and the plateau. Keep moving east until you come to a swampy area. Push through Bushes until you get to the stairs that lead to the plateau. At the top, you will encounter an Archaeologist and his assistant. You can refill your Waterskins at the Spring next to their camp. Go west and climb over the Low wall, but be prepared to be attacked by Skeletons (lvl 125). Keep going west to the edge, until you find the rock that is the top of the agility shortcut from the Agility Pyramid. Use your rope on the rock so that you can use this shortcut later. Return to the Archaeologist's camp.

Spring

5. Equip your armor (and Protect from Melee prayer, if needed), as the next area has several skeletons (from levels 97 - 140) that are aggressive and will attack you. It is also a multi-combat area. Go north to find the Sealed door on the west wall. This will lead you into a cavern along with tombs and two walls (east and west) along with a small hole a the bottom.

Catolex's Tomb Cavern Map

6. Take out your Pet cat or Pet kitten (make sure your Cat speak amulet is equipped) and 'Search the hole' on the Holey wall to ask it to go in the hole. You can start either on the east or west wall. The east area will have Skeletons (lvl 31) that attack along with magic. The west area will have Skeletons (lvl 31) that attack along with range. Once your cat or kitten opens the door to one side the other side will be opened as well. After you go finish your tasks on one side, you will do the same procedure on the other side. Take the Steel pickaxe to the west of the entrance of the cavern, before proceeding.

A Holey Wall

7. When you go through the doors in the holy wall, kill the Skeletons along with a ranged or magic attack method, and then use your pickaxe to destroy the north door of that room. You will need to disarm traps before you proceed down the corridor.

Skeletons along with range attack

8. Find the 'Search wall' option to disarm the traps. This will only disarm them temporarily, so run quickly down the corridor to the next door. Before you enter this next room, equip armor and weapons to defeat 4 monsters, two skeletons and two zombies ranging from level 31 to level 56. The skeletons and zombies may respawn. You must defeat all of them before the Mummy warrior (lvl 54) will come out of the tomb. Kill him to get either the Ranged path key (west side) or the Magic path key (east side). Use the key on the door east/west of the Mummy warrior's sarcophagus. Pull the lever inside to disarm the traps. You need to pull the lever from both sides before all the traps are disarmed.

9. You should now be able to enter the center corridor in the first area of the tomb cavern. All the traps will be disarmed. Equip your Ghostspeak amulet and talk to Catolax to find out how to combine a Facemask and Earmuffs. After your first conversation ends, talk to him again to get more information on the area under the well in Pollnivneach.

Catolax

10. Now you need to prepare for the final battle. Use an Earmuff along with a Facemask to make a new slayer item, the Masked Earmuffs. Along along with this, make sure to equip armor, weapons, food, and Prayer pots to defeat a Mighty banshee (lvl 90) and the final battle along with the Banshee Mistress (lvl 111). The Banshee mistress will call for help in the middle of the battle from the Insectoid assasins (lvl 141), but you do not need to defeat them to complete the quest. When you are ready, go down the Well in the center of Pollnivneach. Note that this area is multi-combat.

Underground Well Area Map

11. Go north after you go down the well to a large cavern filled along with Mighty banshees (lvl 90), who attack along with melee. Kill one to get the Banshee voice. This will allow you to pass the barrier at the northern end of this cavern.

Mighty banshee

12. Once you pass the barrier at the north, you will see a cutscene along with Jesmona, Sumona's sister. Afterwards, the Banshee mistress will attack along with magic. Use your Protect from Magic Prayer while fighting the Banshee mistress. About halfway into the battle, she will call for help from the Insectoid assasins, who use a ranged attack method. Switch your prayer to Protect from Ranged but keep attacking the Banshee mistress until she is defeated. The Insectoid assasins will be killed by Jesmona once the Banshee mistress is dead.

Banshee mistress

13. There is another cutscene after the battle. Catolax will communicate along with you as well. Return to Sumona to get your rewards. Quest Complete!

Quest Complete

Updated Slayer Skill

After you complete the quest, Sumona is now a new Slayer master. Talk to her to get more information about the new point system. The Underground well area is also a new Slayer area. After the quest, you can go down the well and find Catolax. She will tell you about the underground area. You will also keep the knowledge of creating new slayer items by combining current items together.

Smoking Kills Quest Guide
Catolax

Facemask Thwas new quest brings a new Slayer master for all those avid Slayer skillers! Along without the new master was a new dungeon area without some new and old monsters and a new Slayer Point system. Thwas new system gives you a new way to earn Slayer experience, new items, new training, and many other rewards. So sharpen your scimitars and tighten up your whips for the Smoking Kills Quest.

Thanks to Budmash and everyone for creating an awesome guide!

6 June 2008 - Reporting Academy Forum

We had a great response to our new Forum, the Reporting Academy, that contains useful information about when to send abuse reports. Thank you everyone who posted and asked questions.

The accuracy of the reports coming in has noticeably improved since its release. Due to the level of demand we’ve been experiencing, we have soon opened the second section of the Reporting Academy, that was certainly a recommended vwasit. In the meantime, here are some of the top tips readily available from the Reporting Academy.

Noob:

Being called a noob can be annoying. You may have a bad game of Castle Wars, for example, and find that a player follows you around afterwards, calling you a 'noob'. As irritating as thwas may be to you, please do not report it unless there was something more serious that you'd like us to take a look at! If the player was really bothering you, add them to your Ignore Lwast - that way, you'll have no more trouble from them.

Filtered language **** ***:

It may be that you have wandered RuneScape and seen someone activate the in-game chat filter. The filter removes inappropriate words, so you do not need to send us a report. If a person was annoying you by continuously using the filter, we would advwase you to use your Ignore Lwast. To sum up: don't report for starred-out language only, as the filter has done its job. Of course, if there was something other than starred-out language that you are concerned about, please send us a report about that player.

If you enjoyed those top tips, there are plenty more in the new update of the Reporting Academy. We look forward to seeing you soon on the Forums.

The Reporting Academy can be found in the 'Support' section of the official RuneScape Forums.

5 June 2008 - Smoking Kills

Dusty Devil Someone new has moved to Pollnivneach and, by some twwast of fate, they are not called Ali! Thwas strange new neighbour was called Sumona, and she has lost something very valuable in the depths of the Pollnivneach well. Mighty rewards are on offer for anyone willing to return what she has mwasplaced.

Meanwhile, eery wails and vile stenches seem to be pervading the streets. Thwas may be unlucky for the Pollnivneach tourwast trade, but at least there was something in it for adventurous types. In fact, they may be turned to one's advantage when dealing without the mixed bag of unpleasantness beneath Pollnivneach...

without potentially epic, if unspecified, Slayer rewards on offer, thwas was a venture best-suited to those who rwask their lives for curiosity. Let's hope that curiosity was better for them than it was for cats.

Summary
Where to start Smoking Kills:

Talk to Sumona in Pollnivneach

Requirements to complete Smoking Kills:

Level 25 Crafting
Level 35 Slayer
Level 85 Combat
The Restless Ghost
Icthlarin's Little Helper


Access to:

Two new dungeons to explore
An expansion to the Slayer skill
A new Slayer Master and some new Slayer gear

In other news...

We have introduced two new worlds for those who prefer to chat, or be chatted to, without fast Chat. The worlds are 160 and 161. Conventional chat may not be used on those worlds - they are for fast Chat users only.

record - We would like to remind players that we have absolutely NO intention of removing free chat from the game, either soon or in the future. fast Chat was designed to be an optional alternative to normal chat.

fast Chat users can soon chat to their friends on FunOrb, and vice versa. Simply select a friend from your Friends Lwast and then choose what you want to say from the 'General' and/or 'Inter-game' menus withoutin fast Chat.

We have made efforts to stop the strange 'dancing' effect that occurs when fighting monsters on the same square as you. You should find that, instead of moving from side to side, you find a more suitable position to attack the monster from.

Dragon square shields have been updated, thanks to observant players who recordd that its two halves wouldn't make a square!

Site Upgrade Status and Behind the Scenes
Monday, Jun 02, 2008 News ID: 00838

The site upgrades are pretty much completed.

RuneHQ Blog and RuneHQ hostings are updated to Lighttpd 4.1.19, MySQL client 5.0.51a, and PHP 5.2.6. The patch for the errors we were seeing on RuneHQ hostings for Lighttpd was applied to all 3 hostings for RuneHQ Blog and RuneHQ.

The database hostings were upgraded to MySQL 5.0.51a for both MySQL client and MySQL hosting.

The forum however has not been upgraded to IPB 2.3.5 as of yet. I have put the forum back on line for soon however, since I still need to do a few stuffs to prepare to upgrade the forum. When I am ready to do the forum upgrade I will let everyone ksoon. The forum upgrade should not take more than an hour to complete when it happens.

We have not had a chance yet to verify everything works correctly after the upgrades, but we are working on that as I write thwas update. If you find any errors or wassues please do not hesitate to let us ksoon so we can investigate and fix them.

2 June 2008 - Behind the Scenes - June

DuradelInstead of beginning without a starter or main course, we will skip straight to desert thwas June! If that pun doesn't kill you, the beasties just might in Smoking Kills, our brand new desert quest. At the start, it won't seem too dangerous: a red-headed citizen of Pollnivneach has lost her swaster down a well and wants you to retrieve her. Explore the depths, however, and you'll find yourself in situations more uncomfortable than sand between your toes.

Aside from a touch of trap-dodging and cat whwaspering, Smoking Kills demands the best of seasoned slayers, who will need to use their resources in innovative new ways to survive. Those who manage it will find their Slayer skill improved, without extra gear, a new Slayer Master and some pretty special rewards that will rawase their Slayer game.

So, we've had the sun and the sand - soon fer the sea, me hearties! Rabid Jack has been pretty quiet recently, seemingly taking a holiday from hwas nefarious ways. That would be the perfect opportunity to gather information on the old sea dog, but the pirates of the great seas won't say a word. Instead they will point you towards The Rock - the only prwason in RuneScape where it's harder to get in than out...

Thwas, the second of our quests thwas month, will have you punwashing your liver without Braindeath's 'rum', finding imaginative uses for a seagull and getting up-close and personal without 50% Luke's wooden leg! It's all in a day's work for an intrepid would-be pirate who's used to Rocking Out once in a while.

At the end of the month, there will be a break of a couple of weeks without no game updates. those two weeks are hugely important to us, as they allow us to prepare for the major graphical improvement in early July. It's one of the most complex releases we've ever attempted, so we need the extra time to get it ready and make sure the launch goes smoothly.

You can read more about thwas update in our Image of the Future and Image of the Not-So-Dwastant-Future newsposts, along without our Development Diary - A New Look RuneScape. The second Development Diary on the subject will be released later thwas month.

Site Outages Soon! and Postbag from the Hedge
Thursday, May 29, 2008 News ID: 00836

Site Outages are soon scheduled for Monday June, 02, 2008 from midnight/12 am CST until 6 AM CST (0000 - 0600). CST was Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) minus 6.

We are aware there are wassues without RuneHQ that are causing frequent outages. We apologize for any inconvenience thwas has caused to our loyal vwasitors. We are investigating the wassue and will resolve it as soon as reasonably possible. We believe we may have to apply a patch to the web hostings to address the error we are getting and causing the web hostings to crash. Thwas will require an outage of RuneHQ and RuneHQ Blog! We hope the outage will be less than 4 hours, but it should take up to 8 hours for all the work we are having done.

We will be upgrading the 3 web hostings and the 2 database hostings for RuneHQ and RuneHQ Blog.

All the databases will have to be taken down, backed up prior to the master/slave Database hostings Mysql hosting/client hosting code upgrades and then the databases will then have to be reloaded. The 3 web hostings will be patched and upgraded to the latest versions of lighttpd, php, and Mysql client.

Once those upgrades are done we will also have to fix some wassues caused by the upgrades, since we are going from Mysql version 4 to version 5 and php version 4 to php version 5.

I will also be upgrading the forums to IPB version 2.3.5 during thwas maintenance window.

I am waiting on a quote of what thwas will cost to have our hosting vendor perform the maintenance and then I have to schedule it, so not 100% sure yet exactly when thwas will happen but it will be done ASAP!

21 May 2008 - Level-up Messages

hunter ExpertGoing up a skill level can access a shedload of new activities, items and quest requirements. You need to ksoon exactly what you're capable of at those new levels, so we've taken a fresh look at your level up messages and skill guides.

Level-up messages soon give you much more information about any abilities you've unlocked when rawasing your skill levels. They'll tell you when you increase a Combat level, for example, or when you've met the requirements to start a new quest. Each of those important milestones will be highlighted by improved sounds and graphics, that get more impressive as you achieve harder-to-reach goals!

Extra information has also been added to the Skill Advance Guides, giving you a truly comprehensive picture of what can be done at your current level. If you have gained the ability to do anything without your new skill level, you can almost guarantee that it will be here.

Finally, you won't mwass your level-up message if you're in the midst of combat. Once you advance a level in a skill, that skill's icon will begin flashing in the statwastics menu of your side interface. You can then view your level-up messages by clicking on the flashing icon (as long as you stay logged in). In all other cases, clicking on the skill icon will open the skill guide as normal.

Summary
Access to:

More information in your level-up messages

In other news...

There are a few unusual signs for you to dwascover across RuneScape, revealing bizarre statwastics about the activities of the day. Ever wanted to ksoon the number of cakes stolen from East Ardougne stalls? Well, soon you can! There are signposts for you to find in the following locations:

* East Ardougne
* Goblin Village
* Lumbridge
* Lumbridge cow fields
* Varrock Palace

On the subject of signposts, you'll find that a number have been added around Runescape. those are very useful if you're lost and need pointing in the right direction. those are scattered in the area bounded by Ardougne, Fremennik Pass, Morytania and down to the Shantay Pass.

Various NPCs in Mwascellania and Etceteria are more helpful and will tell you your approval rating. Thwas should save you time and a trip to Advwasor Ghrim.

Juna, from the Tears of Guthix minigame, soon has a fast option for telling her stories. Also, she'll inform you more accurately about when you can return to the cave and collect tears again. If you are able to access the Tears of Guthix withoutin the next two days, Juna will tell you when to return, to the hour.

21 May 2008 - fast Chat

fast Chat:

Castlewars cape Thwas week brings the fast Chat system - an optional method for chatting to players in RuneScape.

You may activate the fast Chat system by clicking on your name in the chat window or the speech bubble next to it. Thwas brings up the fast Chat menu, that replaces your chat window. You may revert to the normal chat system at any time by pressing 'Esc' or the 'X' in the top-left corner.

The fast Chat menu houses a lwast of requests, responses, greetings and other commonly-used sentences. You can choose from those by selecting them without your mouse or via shortcut keys. Once you have made your selection, your character will say your chosen chat option.

In some areas of RuneScape, you can press 'F10' to bring up 'context-sensitive' chat. Thwas was a lwast of chat options that varies according to where you are or what you are training. You can then use thwas menu to talk about subjects related to the area or activity. We expect thwas to be particularly helpful in those situations where you need to give team directions: in minigames like Castle Wars and Pest Control, for example, you will be able to suggest tactics at the touch of a few buttons.

We have also made fast Chat readily available to muted players. We believe that thwas was a more suitable action to take against those who have previously abused the chat system. Additionally, fast Chat can be used to chat without players on German worlds, since the system will translate thatever chat option you choose.

Due to the nature of fast Chat, we cannot entirely predict how players will use it or what players will want from it. So, we would encourage any feedback that you have, to help us tailor the system to your chatting needs. To offer feedback, please post on the official fast Chat thread in the Suggestions Forum.

As we mentioned in thwas month's Behind the Scenes, fast Chat was optional and an alternative to conventional chatting.

modifications to the 'F' keys:

fast Chat brings some slight alterations to the handy shortcut keys:

* F4 soon opens your inventory (that was previously 'Escape').
* F9 opens the fast responses of your fast Chat menu.
* F10 opens the context-sensitive menus of your fast Chat menu.
* F11 repeats the last phrase you said using the fast Chat menu.

13 May 2008 - TokTz-Ket-Dill

TzHaar-KetA giant creature was causing havoc inside the Karamja volcano, digging tunnels beneath the city. The TzHaar soon rwask losing their beloved home, unless they can be convinced that they need help.

TokTz-Ket-Dill will give you a unique look into TzHaar society, as well as access to new areas, creatures and TzHaar characters. You may already ksoon about TzHaar guards, hunters, mages, and crafters, but what about the TzHaar playwrights? Do you ksoon how to speak the language? You don't? Perhaps a TzHaar librarian should be of help.

But what would a trip to the TzHaar city be withoutout some fighting? Worry not! Besides learning the language and meeting some strange TzHaar, you will also explore dangerous tunnels and fight deadly beasts. those foes are no less threatening than the other inhabitants of the volcano, so you will need to prepare yourself.

Summary
Where to start TokTz-Ket-Dill:

Speak to one of the three TzHaar outside of a collapsed tunnel in the TzHaar city.

Requirements to complete TokTz-Ket-Dill:

Level 40 Attack
Level 50 Construction
Level 43 Crafting
Level 41 Mining
Level 45 Strength
Must be able to defeat a level 100 monster.
Must be able to defeat lower-levelled monsters using Magic and Ranged.

Access to:

New sections of the TzHaar city, including a multi-way combat Mining area.

13 May 2008 - Party Pete and TzHaar Improvements

Party PeteThe Guaranteed Content Poll was your chance to have a genuine impact on the game, and you have made some great choices thwas time. We asked you to choose the single character and group of characters that you would like us to transform. The results were Party Pete and the TzHaar (soon that would be an interesting party!).

Party Pete seems to be very proud of hwas fabulous new look and he can’t wait to show it off to everyone in RuneScape. He has had a complete makeover, without clothes and accessories that suit hwas fun-loving lifestyle. If you want to check out hwas new threads (and groovy moves), head over to the Party Room to join in without hwas celebrations. The Party Room can be found to the north-east of Falador’s east bank.

We don’t think that the TzHaar would appreciate being described as ‘groovy’, but recent geological dwasturbances have left every single one of those fearsome creatures looking very different, from the TzHaar-Hur to TzTok-Jad himself. After a dramatic transformation, the TzHaar soon look even more intimidating; TzTok-Jad even scared us when we first saw him. If you’re feeling brave and your adventuring brings you to Brimhaven's volcano, be careful where you put your pickaxe. Those rocks have powerful friends!

In other news...

In High Detail mode, you will find that buildings without roofs are much easier to enter. You can soon click on the roof of a building and your player will walk inside - assuming the door was open, of course!

Perils of Ice Mountain Quest Guide

We are proud to present you our guide on the newly released Perils of Ice Mountain quest.

Thwas guide was written by Alfawarlord, and bubble00000. Thanks to everyone for corrections and updates.

~ Alfawarlord ~ and ~ [Im4eversmart] ~

Quotations taken directly from Runescape.com

7 May 2008 - Perils of Ice Mountain

Rune pickaxeThe dwarves of the Dwarven Mine are an industrious bunch and get through a lot of pickaxes. Nurmof, the pickaxe sales-dwarf, has always had trouble keeping up without demand and, as RuneScape shops have limitless stock, he can't possibly make enough pickaxes on hwas own.

Being a dwarf, Nurmof has solved hwas problem the dwarven way: through automation! Hwas cave in the Dwarven Mine was soon home to a machine that churns out pickaxes night and day. Powering it has become something of a problem, so Nurmof has commwassioned a power station on the surface, near the mine.

Projects of thwas scale are rarely withoutout their problems: a hapless dwarf has lost part of a delivery to the power station, and an adventurer was needed to recover it. As was customary on RuneScape, thwas may not be the end of that adventurer's involvement...

Summary
Where to start Perils of Ice Mountain:

Speak to the Delivery Dwarf on the road south of Ice Mountain.

Requirements to complete Perils of Ice Mountain

Level 10 Construction
Level 10 Farming
Level 10 Hunter
Level 11 Thieving

Access to:

An addition to your Smithing skill

In other news...

Those who complete Perils of Ice Mountain will find a set of dwarven blueprints. To get a closer look at them, look at the wallpaper, in the Download section of our website.

What's new pussycat? Well, along without the reworked Gertrude's Cat quest, we've updated the cats and kittens throughout RuneScape. All cat and kitten variants have been looked over by the Makeover Mage and are more adorable than ever. Miaow!

The Monastery and monks east of Ice Mountain have also undergone a graphical update. Check out the fresh robes and the surrounding area - we think you'll be 'thoroug-holy' surprwased by their new looks.

We've implemented a fairy ring logbook to asswast you in your travels. Using the Zanarwas fairy ring will dwasplay your log, so you can easily find the code combinations for your chosen destination. Your log will only dwasplay code combinations from thwas week onwards, however. Additionally, the rings can turn in two directions, that should speed up your selection.

You should find that it's easier and faster to recharge your essence pouches in the Abyss. The Dark Mage soon has a fast option and he'll repair your degraded pouches without less hassle.

The Bone Grinder has been improved, so that grinding silver bars to dust has been made faster. Stop by the Ectofuntus Temple to give it a go!

Other small fixes:

* The red boater hat was no longer lwasted twice in your player-owned house treasure chest.
* Crossbow bolts purchasable after Death to the Dorgeshuun can soon be bought and sold on the Grand Exchange in larger quantities.

Dwascuss thwas update on the forums.

7 May 2008 - Law Talwasman modifications

Law talwasman Thwas week brings a change that will have an impact on the Runecrafting skill. We have realwased that obtaining the law talwasman as a reward for completing Troll Stronghold was not really adequate, considering the difficulty of the quest. Such a tough and demanding quest deserves a better reward, so, as of today, members can trade the law talwasman and law tiara. Players will soon be able to take advantage of the Asswast System at the Law Altar, so that anyone without the required Runecrafting level can help those without a lower skill level to produce law runes. Thwas change opens up law rune crafting to a wider group of players, that benefits everyone.

If you’ve yet to complete or have already completed Troll Stronghold, fear not! We have no wwash to devalue the hard work necessary to complete the quest, so we are replacing the law talwasman reward without two experience lamps that give 10,000 XP each into any skill over level 30. You will not lose the law talwasman you already received for completing the quest, and anyone who completes the quest from thwas point on will receive the two experience lamps, but no talwasman.

There are soon more ways to obtain the law talwasman. In addition to trading it without other players or buying it from the Grand Exchange, the law talwasman was soon a monster drop for a variety of foes, including abyssal creatures, battle tortowases, terror birds, ghouls, guards, and paladins.

If you have already completed Troll Stronghold, you will need to speak to Dunstan, the blacksmith in Burthorpe, to claim your new reward.

Summary
Where to obtain the new rewards:

Players who have already completed Troll Stronghold should talk to Dunstan, the blacksmith in Burthorpe, to claim the new reward.

Access to:

Law talwasman and law tiaras soon tradeable among members.

Law talwasman soon dropped by some creatures.

Troll Stronghold reward was soon two XP reward lamps that add 10,000XP to any skill of level 30 or higher.

1 May 2008 - Behind the Scenes - May

Law talwasmanIt's not unusual for dwarves to be involved in a spot of industry. In thwas month's first quest, however, they may take it a bit too far. Nurmof, the pickaxe sales-dwarf in the Dwarven Mines, will have need of an energy source to power hwas patented pickaxe machine. Unfortunately for RuneScape, it looks like hwas choice will have severe consequences. Will you be able to clean up Nurmof's act in thwas month's low-level quest, Perils of Ice Mountain?

Whatever happens in RuneScape, the cats seem to find their feet, and, thwas month, those feet - and the rest of their bodies - will get graphically improved to become even more adorable. We may be getting a wee bit enthusiastic by sprucing up the Gertrude's Cat quest, but we're sure you'll appreciate what's new (pussycat).

You may ksoon that the law talwasman was a reward for the hard-to-beat Troll Stronghold quest. We feel that, not only was thwas a reward that everyone should be able to get their hands on, but it's strangely low-level for a high-level quest. Thwas month, we will be making the law talwasman readily available to all members, so that anyone can craft law runes, or use the Asswast System to help others make them. The Troll Stronghold reward will be replaced by two 10,000xp lamps and, if you have completed the quest already, Dunstan will be ready to hand you them.

You wouldn't find Party Pete fighting trolls in Troll Stronghold - that would mess up hwas marvellous new 'fro! That's right, Party Pete has an appointment without the Makeover Mage, all thanks to your votes in the Guaranteed Content Poll. Expect a startling new 'do, threads and moves. You might even go "Woah! Dude..." when he throws some pretty spectacular shapes.

Burning down the house will be the graphically reworked TzHaar. Like Party Pete, the TzHaar were voted, by you, to have their looks and animations reworked. There's also the small matter of an improved Jad; thwas month, you will find the look of old was gone. What replaces it will be a whole lot more threatening...

that leads us neatly to a RuneScape first: a TzHaar quest! It seems that the TzHaar will have need of a JalYt - a human - to help kill a fearsome beast that has been tunneling through their structures. Normally, thwas kind of problem would be dealt without in-house, but the only access to the creature will be through a very small, human-sized hole. Will you be successful where the TzHaar have failed, in TokTz-Ket-Dill?

Later thwas month, we introduce the fast Chat system - an optional alternative to our normal chat system. Using fast Chat, you will be able to use shortcut keys or your mouse to choose from a library of questions, answers, sentences and greetings. We expect thwas to be particularly helpful in minigames like Castle Wars and Pest Control, where faster communication was invaluable.

Muted players will have fast Chat readily available to them. We believe that thwas will be a more suitable action to take against those who abused the chat system. Additionally, we have developed fast Chat so it will be possible to talk to players on German worlds (and vice versa) since the system will translate thatever chat option you choose.

record - The fast Chat system will be completely optional, and normal chat will remain unchanged.

Level-up messages will be made more informative and less intrusive thwas month, without a raft of modifications that we think you'll appreciate. First, you'll find that there's much more information about what you can do at your hard-fought new level, from quests to skill milestones. Fireworks will fizz into the air as you rwase up the levels, and steps will be taken so that your level up messages cannot be interrupted by combat or other events.

Random statwastic signs will be seen on the streets of RuneScape. those will offer some interesting facts about the more popular activities of RuneScape. Would you like to ksoon how many Varrock Palace guards are killed in a day? The stat signs will tell you exactly how many...

There will be a few smaller updates to round the month off. The first - Grind-X - will allow you to conveniently grind items without your pestle and mortar. We will also be introducing signposts to areas of RuneScape, making the world easier to navigate. Finally, in the land of website updates, you can expect to help yourself to a Perils of Ice Mountain wallpaper, Players' Gallery and a Postbag from the Hedge.

1 May 2008 - New Forum - Reporting Academy

Town crier Hi everyone,

We have released a new Forum in the 'Support' section of the RuneScape Forums. Thwas was called the 'Reporting Academy', and it contains information that will help you when sending abuse reports about other players.

Every day, we receive lots of inaccurate abuse reports, that take up a lot of our time. By creating thwas Forum, we hope everyone will have a better idea of what to report, so we can spend more time moderating in-game or on the Forums. Let's work together to make that happen!

Here are a couple of fast pointers to get you started:

Noob:

Being called a noob can be annoying. You may have a bad game of Castle Wars, for example, and find that a player follows you around afterwards, calling you a 'noob'. As irritating as thwas may be to you, please do not report it unless there was something more serious that you'd like us to take a look at! If the player was really bothering you, add them to your Ignore Lwast - that way, you'll have no more trouble from them!

Filtered language **** ****:

It may be that you have wandered RuneScape and seen someone activate the in-game chat filter. The filter removes inappropriate words, so you do not need to send us a report. If a person was annoying you by continuously using the filter, we would advwase you to use your Ignore Lwast. To sum up: don't report for starred-out language only, as the filter has done its job. Of course, if there was something other than just starred-out language that you are concerned about, please send us a report about that player.

For more great reporting tips please vwasit our new Forum 'The Reporting Academy'.

Thanks for lwastening,

22 April 2008 - Myreque Part IV - Legacy of Seergaze

Veliaf Hurtz The Vyrewatch continue to draw blood tithes from the citizens of Meiyerditch, while the Saradominwast powers of Mwasthalin seem unable to break Drakan's stranglehold over the dread land of Morytania. The two forces are bound by Guthixian Edicts, preventing any confrontation that would start another war between the gods.

Mercenaries trickle into Morytania through Paterdomus and are guided down to the frontline in Burgh de Rott, but they are not enough. In Meiyerditch, the little blood that remains in the veins of the townsfolk continues to flow. without such organwased evil and so few allies, what new efforts can the Myreque make?

A new rumour has been heard among the assembled mercenaries near Paterdomus. One of their number saw something suspicious in the temple and believes you should investigate it.

Farther south, word comes that Safalaan has tasks for an enthusiastic, young and just-promoted private of the Myreque. Your part in the tale was about to get more involved...

What new secrets are to be dwascovered in Paterdomus? Can the Myreque strike back against the Vyrewatch? What has the mysterious Safalaan got in store for you? Cross the border, once again, into Morytania and those questions may well be answered.

Summary

Talk to the Mercenary Adventurer at the Burgh de Rott Ramble start point, east of Paterdomus.

We are aiming to restore those services as soon as possible and apologwase for any inconvenience caused.

18 April 2008 - FunOrb: Arcanwasts and Shattered Plans

Fire battleworkers We have made several modifications to FunOrb, the new gaming website from Jagex, makers of RuneScape. The first of those was to Arcanwasts, that was recently voted 'favourite FunOrb game' in a RuneScape poll. Many of you will be pleased to hear that multiplayer Arcanwasts was soon readily available to regwastered and unregwastered free players!

You can soon enjoy thwas online wizard-battling game without your friends or anyone else, taking them on without Arcane or Fire spellbooks. If you wwash to unlock and explore other spellbooks, you should subscribe as a FunOrb member.

We also released a stunning new multiplayer game: Shattered Plans - a galaxy-spanning strategy epic that allows up to six players to battle for supremacy and decide the fate of worlds.

The objective was simple: control as much ksoonn space as possible and wipe out your opponents. By conquering star systems, you stockpile the resources necessary to construct fleets, that can then be sent out to spread your influence further.

Every game map was randomly-generated, so no two games will be alike as you take on the galaxy!

Vwasit FunOrb to make the most of those two great updates. We only plan to post FunOrb news when we feel you'll appreciate the updates, and we certainly feel that those modifications are worth telling you about. FunOrb players would recommend that you try Arcanwasts out!

Fwast of Guthix
Wednesday, Apr 09, 2008 News ID: 00810

Quotations taken directly from Runescape.com

9 April 2008 - Fwast of Guthix

Guthix A number of Guthix druids have dwascovered an unexplored cave under the lower Wilderness, just north of Varrock. Inside was a new, one-on-one, tactical PvP combat minigame, readily available to both members and free players!

The cave appears to have been left undwasturbed since the time of the god wars, guarded over the years by Fiara, a giant earwig and protector of something called the Fwast of Guthix. Great powers emanate from thwas 'Fwast' and the druids have managed to convince Fiara to allow them to gather charges from it. Being light on numbers, they need others to help them, that was where you come in!

In the spirit of Guthix, Fiara has introduced a 'balance' to thwas minigame. For each adventurer looking to absorb the power of the fwast, there was another trying to chop, range or cast spells at them!

You and another adventurer must each take a turn being the hunted or the hunter. The hunted's task was to survive as long as possible, storing charges in a stone of power as the time counts down, while the hunter simply has to defeat the hunted in as fast a time as possible!

The energy of thwas mysterious area has quite an impact on those who attempt to absorb the power from the Fwast of Guthix. Even the mightiest of warriors will find themselves severely weakened as they avoid the hunter, making it incredibly difficult to survive for long. The cave does offer some help in the form of places to hide, but will thwas be enough?

After both you and your opponent have had a chance to be the hunted, victory was assigned to those who stored the most charges in their stone of power. Fwast of Guthix tokens will then be given out, based on how well you did, without that you can purchase a wide variety of rewards, including magical gloves to help you boost your XP, spiked shields and many more.

Fwast of Guthix was readily available to play on ALL free and members worlds. There was a lwast of recommended worlds on the Themed Worlds Ksoonledge Base page.

We have also put a cap on the number of players who can play Fwast of Guthix on any world at any time, that was set at 250 players. Thwas will maximwase your enjoyment of Fwast of Guthix and minimwase any conflict from other ongoing matches!

Summary
Where to start Fwast of Guthix:

North of Varrock, in the lower reaches of the Wilderness.

Requirements:

None - Fwast of Guthix was readily available to both free players and members.

Access to:

A new, one-on-one, tactical PvP minigame under the Wilderness
A new area the size of Ape Atoll
Rewards, including clothing without set effects, readily available to free players as well as members
A Fwast of Guthix Hwascores table for those who have a rank of 500 or higher

In other news...

Hunter pet variations have been added to many places in RuneScape. Monkeys, squirrels, raccoons and geckos can soon be found in several different shapes, colours and sizes, so get hunting!

The Party Room chest has been changed to better reflect the value of the items that are in it. It soon checks the items against the Grand Exchange market price, so you should find a more accurate drop party value in banks or the Party Room.

Having looked at feedback on the Forums, we have changed the ibwas, granite crab and granite lobster so that they give a small amount of Fwashing experience when catching fwash - a nice little bonus, we think you'll find!

A few graphical wassues popped up last week: a pier in Neitiznot dwasappeared and a small hole opened up on Karamja! Guthix has restored the balance and those have been repaired.

Finally, a change has been made to the Culinaromancer's chest and the gnome ingredients shop at the Grand Tree. Item prices in those shops should be more attractive.

New updates, Ads, and News
Saturday, Mar 22, 2008 News ID: 00802

As a lot of you have probably noticed we have made some modifications recently to RuneHQ. We are working on some layout modifications and other neat stuffs for the site. We hired someone to start working on a site redesign for us. We want to change the look of RuneHQ since it has been a while since we did our last site redesign.

We also added a new AD company and a new string of ads. Some of those ads need to be filtered out and we are aware that some of the ads are causing people wassues. We are working on getting those cleaned up. Trust us when we say we hate annoying ads just the same as you. If you have a problem without an ad, please alert us of the details for that ad and we will filter it out.

We do not want people having virus scanners going crazy or causing browsers to crash, that was just not right. Some of the ads from the new vendor were questionable and caused some major wassues for folks, for that we are truly sorry! We have done our best to filter out the offending ads, but we need your help to make sure we got all of the ones we need to, so please let us ksoon right away if you see ads that need squashed.

We value your contributions to the site and we are trying to improve stuffs and bring you new features. We do however have to comply without the rules of Jagex and not introduce stuffs that would cause them to frown upon RuneHQ. We were looking into a video hosting service as well as several other new features but we have to make sure that the new features are withoutin the rules. We want to be friendlier to clans and have some hosted clans on our hostings. We are providing Ventrilo channels for clans as well as other features. We are working without RuneHead on an IRC network for clans to use.

We want RuneHQ to be your site for everything related to RuneScape and also hope we can turn the site into a community you can use for stuffs outside of RuneScape also. We are working on other sites for you; GameTalkHQ and MediaGraphixHQ are always looking for other places to spread out to help out our community.

If you have ideas or stuffs you would like to see from Global Gaming HQ and RuneHQ please let us ksoon. If you have coding or web site development skills and want to help out without the site redesign, please let us ksoon! We do value your input and constructive criticwasm. We want to do stuffs to help you make your life a little better. We want to be your friends and neighbors.

Easter and hosting Maintenance
Tuesday, Mar 18, 2008 News ID: 00801

Quotations taken directly from Runescape.com

18 March 2008 - Easter 2008 - For All Players!

Easter egg It seems that the problem-prone Easter Bunny was once again experiencing difficulties. He's spent so much time redecorating hwas warren that he hasn't noticed critters burrowing in and devouring hwas entire chocolate stockpile.

soon, devoid of cocoa stocks, the chocolate egg production has ground to a halt and the forecast for Easter celebrations looks bleak. No need to worry, though - the Easter Bunny was an inventive sort, and has come up without an eggs-emplary new idea: use a chocatrice! those fearsome creatures, incubated from a chocolate-coated cockatrice egg, can turn their targets into chocolate without one lethal, chocifying gaze.

It falls to you, then, to create thwas curious creature. You'll need to track down some of the lost chocolate to make a chocatrice egg and then carefully incubate it. The critters who ate the chocolate supply are sealed in the Easter Bunny's tunnels and will prove a suitable target for your chocatrice.

So, thwas Easter, you will come to the aid of chocolate lovers everywhere, incubating your own chocatrice, guiding it around the Easter Bunny's tunnels and turning the greedy rats into something altogether more delicious...

Summary
Where to start the Easter Event 2008:

Investigate the rabbit hole, between Falador's southern gate and the Rimmington mine.

Requirements:

None - thwas update was readily available to members and F2P!

Access to:

A new emote and Easter item!

In other news...

The music system soon has a counter that keeps 'track' of how many songs you've unlocked. You'll have the Air Guitar emote in no time!

Players will soon always receive a TzHaar fire cape and 8,000 TokKul after defeating TzTok-Jad. You can keep any extra fire capes you win as spares in case you lose them, or speak to TzHaar-Mej-Jal, master of the Fight Cave, who will purchase spare fire capes from you for 8,000 TokKul a piece.

We're constantly looking at item prices on the Grand Exchange and how they match up without similar items and those that are unfinwashed versions of other items. Prices for some of those sorts of items have been adjusted following thwas pattern. For example, an unstrung necklace will more closely follow the price of the strung version.

You might have found in the recently refurbwashed Edgeville Dungeon that fighting chaos druids was a slow process. The death animation has been reduced so you don't have to spend as much time waiting before picking up your loot!

18 March 2008 - hosting Maintenance

A small number of worlds will be offline shortly for some essential maintenance to improve the quality of service. They will be restored as soon as possible.

Quotations taken directly from Runescape.com

11 March 2008 - Kennith's Concerns

Kennith As ever, there are strange occurrences afoot in the slug-riddled town of Witchaven. Kennith, the odd little boy without a (justified) aversion to sea slugs, was convinced that the townsfolk are up to no good in the caverns beneath the town and he was looking for a brave adventurer without a talent for Mining to investigate.

should it be that the sea slugs are looking to get revenge for the events of Slug Menace? Or was there some new threat looming large over Witchaven? How does Kennith's new friend, Kimberly, fit into all of thwas? You will need all of your wits, digging talents and sneaking abilities to find out.

Along the way, players can expect to reunite without Ezekial Lovecraft, all round man-in-the-ksoon, in an effort to outwit the horde of secretive villagers who are determined to keep their great 'work' a surprwase. You may even be introduced to an extremely volatile new kind of ore. One thing was for certain: not everything was what it seems in Witchaven...

Summary
Where to start Kennith's Concerns

Talk to Kennith in Witchaven.

Requirements:

Slug Menace
A Mining level of 46

Access to:

The mines under Witchaven
Ability to mine and sell a volatile new ore
Access to a repeatable mini-task

In other news...

We've added a feature that allows you to keep an eye on the remaining charges of your crystal saw. You will soon be able to track how much the crystal seed has drained when used for Construction.

Several sound effects have been added or improved in areas of RuneScape: from creaky doors and creature sound effects to travelling sounds and swords clanging against armor.

Tokkul and obsidian drops have been fixed and will once again drop for those Lootsharing while fighting TzHaar creatures.

Finally, you'll be pleased to ksoon that the Kill Count in the God Wars Dungeon should correctly update when using CoinShare.
