Faruq’s Tools For Games Update

July 16, 2009 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape News No Comments →

This looks like an interesting update. I didn’t think I’d see something like this added to runescape. Hopefully it is as good as they make it sound.

It’s about time that they fixed the glitch when trying to walk out of the Edgeville bank using the mini map. Hopefully this time it stays fixed. :)

As for the change with the grand exchange listings. I wasn’tt that worried about it beforehand, but it’s good that they are trying to make the grand exchange quicker to load I guess. :)

That’s it for these updates, back to relaxing on my holiday. :) Have fun everyone.

Knowing that many of RuneScape’s adventurers sometimes like to kick back and enjoy time with their friends and clan-mates, Al Kharid’s newest resident, the mysterious entrepreneur Faruq, has brought to market a selection of curiosities to help pass the time between grand escapades.

If your clan needs fair ways of making decisions, then Faruq has something for you. If you want to have a race without any cheating or need something to mark the route, he can help. Whether you’re planning a scavenger hunt, a race, a seeking game or any kind of adventure within the adventure, Faruq asks only that you look at his wares, because he might have just what you need.

To peruse Faruq’s Tools for Games, check out the stall he has set up next to Ali Morrisane in Al Kharid market.

This is an unusual update for us, because, unlike just about everything else in RuneScape, we haven’t planned out what you should do with it. During development, we thought of things you could do, of course, but I’m eager to see what else you can come up with yourselves.

To make the tools, we sought suggestions from the forums, fan sites and various corners of Jagex. It all helped shape the project, and some of the players who made suggestions when the developer blog went out should find certain objects very familiar: congratulations on making your mark on the game!

In other news…

You can once again walk out of Edgeville’s bank using the minimap when heading north-east!

We’ve removed a small selection of items from the Grand Exchange to improve offer matching. For example, all but the (8) and (1) charged variants of the games necklace have been removed. The removed items can still be traded; they just no longer show up on the Grand Exchange.

PVP World Changes Yet Again

July 16, 2009 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape News No Comments →

More changes again to the PVP worlds, hopefully this will bring back some honour pking again. Like in the good old days, but anyway this update doesn’t really affect me much as I’ve never been much of a pker. Hope this update helps out all the pkers out there, and stops the one itemers once and for all. :)

Players who enter a PvP or Bounty World will now automatically become skulled and unable to use the Protect Item prayer. The skull will not disappear over time or when a player dies, unless they go to a non-PvP world, in which case the skull behaves like normal. Note that this means you will always lose everything you are carrying if you get killed by another player, and that there is no way for you to keep any items on death while in a PvP or Bounty World.

Additionally, on members’ worlds, your victims must now lose at least 75,000 coins’ worth of items (increased from 25,000) for your earning potential to be applied to the drop. On free-to-play worlds, the amount the victim must lose remains at 25,000 coins.

Please note that you will have to be in a safe area before you can next log into a PvP or Bounty World. You will need to log into a non-PvP/Bounty World in order to move to a safe area. This is to ensure nobody logs in risking more than they are aware of. A message will explain this on login if you try to enter these worlds. This only applies to your next PvP/Bounty World login; from then on, you will be able to log in as normal.
