Tips For Getting Charms For Summoning

January 21, 2008 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters, Runescape skills, Runescape Tips 39 Comments →

Lately I have been doing slayer for 99 attack as some of you may have noticed with my recent posts. While I have been slaying I have come across a few good monsters to get charms from.

For the gold charms, I found that they are good to collect from quite a few monsters, but the best I would have to say would be the ice warriors and giants. A good place to get green charms would be bloodvelds because they drop them regularly and are good training and quick to kill for high levels.

While slaying greater demons, I found that they gave lots of crimson charms, but a mate of mine has told me that waterfiends give crimson charms about 99% of the time, not sure I’d try it, but if any of you have tried it or want to try it please let us know how it goes. As for the blue charms,  I found that gargoyles gave them about 10% of the time, although I was getting other good drops such as rune full helms, granite mauls and other charms. So far they seem to be the best. Another good monster to kill for blue charms is kalphite soldiers as meantioned in crowlion’s comment. Shady Boi, meantioned that rock crabs were another good monster to kill for charms, as seen below in the comments.

After 2 days of doing slayer for attack experience I have gained close to 2 attack levels, 1 hitpoint level, 1 slayer level and have collected in total over 400 charms including 146 gold, 155 green, 83 crimson and 32 blue. For those of you who don’t know how to get the shards that jagex fixed up with the update just talk to the pickupstix guy and he will give you the shards that he owes you, I got around 9k when I spoke to him. :)

For low level summoners I suggest doing the spirit scorpion pouches as they are quick and good experience, to get the bronze claws for it you can buy them on the general exchange or make them yourselves, I found that you get under 2k experience per load.

To get a gecko you have to catch it just east of the harpie bug swarms on karmaja, you will need a box trap. For a pet puppy you have to talk to one of the pet shop owners and pay 500gp for one. If you want a penguin all you have to do is talk to the penguin keeper at ardrougne zoo and he will give you an egg to put in an incubator at one of the pet shops.

To feed the geckos, they require flies which you can buy at the pet shop, for the puppies they need to be fed raw beef and the penguins likes to eat raw fish.

Happy summoning and goodluck!

Hunter Skill Guide

January 16, 2008 By: Delarue64 Category: bestrunetips site update, Runescape skills 1 Comment →

This guide was given to us by a good friend from Hong Kong who says that he got it from uloveme soon after uloveme got 99 in the hunter skill. He was kind enough to translate it into English for us from the original chinese written guide. He does not want to be recognized officially for providing this guide but we thank him for it. We have had this hunter guide for a while, but waited until we got the permission from our friend before we used it. We hope that you find it useful for obtaining your hunter skill goals.

You can find this guide here

Happy hunting

Summoning is here!

January 16, 2008 By: Delarue64 Category: bestrunetips site update, Runescape quests, Runescape skills 5 Comments →

Today Jagex released a new skill called summoning. Before you can start training the summoning skill you have to do the wolf whistle quest. We have already made a guide for it and you can see when you click here. It is a very short quest, so that is a good thing.

Training this skill may be very challenging for the next few days, but after a while I’m sure the crowds at the chickens and the wolves will die down so it will be easier to collect your supplies. To start training summoning you will have to buy pouches and shards from pickupstix, which are 1gp ea for the pouches, 50 ea for the shards. For the dreadfowl pouch, you will need 8 shards, 1 pouch, 1 raw chicken and 1 gold charm. For each pouch you create you get 9.5xp. To make the scroll, all you need to do is use a pouch on the obelisk which is explained in the quest guide.

Happy summoning!

99 Strength Today Thanks To PC

January 08, 2008 By: crowlion Category: Runescape skills 5 Comments →

I finally got to 99 strength today. Quite some time ago I got 99 attack, but my attempts to get 99 strength stalled after the changes to pc. I thought that the pc clan that I was in “VMC” was no longer in existence until I saw Mr Enforcer1 at the 144 pc world last month. He has kept the clan alive and that inspired me to get to 99 strength again. Today that finally did happen.

The guard just outside the Bunthorpe games room took the final blow in reaching 99 strength, just like when I obtained 99 attack, although much of the strength experience was gained by doing pc. It means that I finally have trimmed capes too. The trimmed attack cape can be seen in the picture below.

Below is a picture of part of the strength emote feature that can be done whilst wearing the cape.

If you are interested in gaining combat experience fast, then I recommend pc as a good way of obtaining it. VMC is a clan for those with 108 combat and above. I feel it is best to join a clan so that you can get the best worlds for pc. World 144 is often not very good for pc due to people not knowing how to play properly and others with relatively lower levels. It is also full very often too. If you qualify for the VMC clan, you are welcome to join it here.

Recent Updates In Runescape And On Bestrunetips

November 28, 2007 By: Delarue64 Category: bestrunetips site update, Runescape skills 3 Comments →

Sorry guys for not being on here for the past month or so, I have been busy studying for the end of year exams. The good thing is they are just about done and then I have more time to spend working on bestrunetips. :)

Anyway back to topic… Recently I have made a few guides to help you all, these guides include Cooking and Firemaking.

Zzz Oh Its U has kindly donated a magic skill guide which includes a method for pures looking to raise magic up without having to get the hit point experience.

The fire making skill guide includes some methods to get quick levels without spending the cash.

 Last but not least the cooking skill guide includes some methods I used to get 99 cooking myself.

In the next post I will explain the update about the grand exchange and its advantages.

Happy skilling

A Quick Way To Get Construction Up Without The Cost

October 16, 2007 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape skills, Runescape Tips 4 Comments →

Recently I trained construction up to 69 so that I could make my own gilded altar, I found that cutting my own oak logs and making them into planks myself was very cheap because I didn’t have to spend so much money getting the butler to take the logs to the sawmill for me, or by just buying the planks. A quick way to make planks I found was to catch the balloon from Castle Wars to Varrock, which only required 1 willow log per trip, then use a dueling ring to go back to Castle Wars, (you have to do enlightened journey to be able to use the balloon system). You need to be carrying less then 40kgs to be able to use the balloon, so I found that if you take the cash you need for the lot of planks you are wanting to make, 1 willow log, boots of lightness, spotted cape and 21 oak logs will leave you at 39kgs, although I could not wear the spottier cape, and I have not got myself the penance gloves yet, so if you have them it might come in handy so you can do more planks per load, (each oak log is 2kgs). This method is about 3 times faster then walking from Varrock east bank to the sawmill and back.

Another thing I found when using up your planks, you can use house tele tabs and glory amulets to and from your house so that you don’t have to pay the butler anything to un note all your planks you made, although if you want a quick way of using up your planks you are better off paying your demon butler to un note them, which costs 10k coins per 7-10 trips he does. You should make oak carved tables on your workbench as they require 6 planks to make 1 of them. Your inventory for the table making butler method should have your money for the planks to and from bank, hammer, saw noted planks, and the rest of the inventory empty so that you can have 24 planks in there (which makes 4 carved oak tables). The second method should have hammer, saw, house teleport tablets, glory amulet and the rest full of planks. Oak carved tables give you 360 experience per table made, which means that you make 1440 experience per load.

Hopefully these tips help you if you are looking to get your construction up.

Happy Constructing!

New Prayer Abilities

July 25, 2007 By: crowlion Category: Runescape News, Runescape quests, Runescape skills 2 Comments →

I was just playing pest control and went to put my prayer on as usual and then noticed that the prayer icons had been moved. I then noticed the 2 extra ones at the bottom called Chivalry and Piety. Chivalry gives Defence 20%, Strength 18% and Attack 15%, while Piety gives 25 Defence, 23 Strength and 20 Attack. They require level 60 and 70 prayer respectively. I have 70 prayer, so I though “great, I will try Piety out”.  I then got a message come up saying that I required 70 defence and also needed to have completed the King’s Ransom Quest’s Knight Wave Reward.  It turns out that Chivalry also requires 55 defence and completion of the King’s Ransom Quest’s Knight Wave Reward. I had the defence levels covered, but have not completed the quest.

So it appears that the King’s Ransom Quest may be a good quest to do, as the prayer is likely to be very useful in runescape (it should make pc easier). :)

Fletching Guide

June 24, 2007 By: Delarue64 Category: bestrunetips site update, Runescape skills 4 Comments →

Hi everyone out there in the runescape world.  When I went for 99 fletching they didn’t have the string all option so I had to do lots more clicking then what we have to do today in runescape. This is a great option that they have made as it makes it easier to do fletching, aswell as quicker.

If you are wondering how to start fletching or want to get some money with little effort then this fletching guide is for you.
