Runescape Shortcuts - Hidey Holes and Rope Racks - A "How To" Guide

You can read the blog about the guide... or just click on the link here for the actual guide:
Runescape Agility Shortcuts: How to Build Hidey Holes and Rope Racks Guide
And of course:
Runescape Cooking - Feel the Burn:How To Cook Rocktail Fish Without Burning: What You Do From Level 93 to 95

Been really hopping recently - Aside from playing with my new Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t Netbook Tablet Computer (my caps- I really love this little netbook!) I've been catching up on all the work (and play) that's fallen behind.  You may have noticed several new Runescape blogs in the last few days.
Today's blog is short and sweet, and relates to the hubpages I write (see sidebar.)  With all the updates recently, there's been a lot going on in Runescape.  And with so many BIG changes, there's been a minor change that didn't catch a lot of notice.
     The shortcuts update, Hidey-Holes and Rope Racks.  This small, unsung update is a lot more important than you'd suspect.  Sure, the Rope Racks aren't such a big deal.  After all, how many of us truly use the Eagle Transport System that much?  But the Hidey-Holes are a very nice change.  Out of all the Runescape agility shortcuts, the crossbow-and-grapple shortcuts have been, as a class, the most useless.  I mean really, who just happens to carry a crossbow and grapple around by accident?  If you've got them with you, you planned for it.
     As a result, most of us ignore those shortcuts.  Jagex finally did something about it... with a little work, those shortcuts will forever after be easy to access!
     ...Yes, I did say 'a little work'.  Don't panic, it's not that hard.  When I first looked into it, I realized there were the 'repeaters' all over the internet; you know, the sites that just cut and paste quotes from Jagex.  And there were good informational sites that offered dictionary definitions of certain aspects.   But nobody had bothered yet to tie it all together into one step by step guide.
     I play a lot.  Obviously, since I blog about it.  But I've only done one guide previously.  There's no sense writing a guide that's already been written about 50 times or more all over the internet.  So my one and only guide up until now has been the 'cooking Rocktails' guide.  I wrote it because it was a helpful technique, very useful between cooking levels of 93 to 95, and nobody had written one.
     The Hidey-Hole and Rope Rack guide came about in the same way.  I couldn't find one, and it seemed like a useful idea, so I wound up writing it myself.  I hope you find it useful!

You've got the Master Wand now? Cool. You really have been training like crazy.
Do you recommend it at the current price?

It took two days, but I finished the BoE quest. Now it's back to Crafting. Been using the Festive Aura and Prismatic pendants- managed to get 96... and 97, today. And about 1/3 of the way to 98.
Makes the training cheaper, but it's still sucking away my bank at scary speeds.

Sam said...

Sadly the master wand sells for about 15-20m. That's when I decided just to earn the pizazz points for it.

Crewman6 said...

How long did it take to get?

By the way, got 99 this morning. I kept waiting for Monique to say something about 'too much time on Runescape' ... but she was cool about it! :^)

Sam said...

Great job! It took me about 5 hours.

Crewman6 said...

Thanks!
5 Hours... that's a lot of dedication for the wand.

Have you looked into player owned ports? I've only had a few minutes with it, but I'm really looking forward to it. Hope it's supremely excellent!

Sam said...

I don't have 90 in any of the skills. :(

Crewman6 said...

The way you play, it won't be long before you do...
I'm still trying to figure it out. It's kind of like managing your kingdom, only a lot more complicated.

Sam said...

Should I make a KBD guide and post it on youtube?

Crewman6 said...

I think that would be a great idea! In the wake of EOC, so much has changed, we need more post-EOC guides. I'd be very interested to see how you manage him.
Go for it!

Crewman6 said...

I can hardly wait! I'm finally doing better with EOC fighting. Spent today with Monique going for double dungeoneering bonus. Lots of fun. (but tired now!!!)

I'll keep my eyes open for your next youtube post.

Sam said...

It's probably going to be a Foshizzel pk video. I've been trying it in E.O.C. and I'm not that bad. Hopefully it's out before Xmas.

Crewman6 said...

Still looking for that King Black Dragon guide!!!
But I like your pking videos too.
:^)

Sam said...

I'm trying to find a great way to kill the KBD efficiently and quickly.
I haven't found a way yet, hopefully I can before Xmas. I will have the First Foshizzel Pking Video in eoc out soon though. :)

Crewman6 said...

I just saw that you'd posted a new video. Going to check it out in a moment.

Good luck on the KBD- I'm still looking forward to your guide!

Sam said...

Have you done the Christmas event?

Crewman6 said...

Yeah, Monique's always had a thing for the Varrock stray, so we did it after work the day it came out. It was brief, but we both enjoyed it.

Have you done it yet? (Be sure to get all 4 implings too, they're worth 50k bonus hunting exp each.)

Sam said...

I have done it, and I've maxed out my dog house. Where did you put your house? (The imps do rock! :D)

Crewman6 said...

We put ours by Gertrudes, because we spend so much time in Varrock. Monique runs by daily and gives him a bone. (She kills a Varrock guard for the Jack of Trades Aura, saves the bones for the dog!)

Which dog did you keep? We both kept the original Varrock stray, though I kind of liked the Dalmation. Might switch to him some day.

Sam said...

Same exactly! Lol. I picked the Varrock Stray and I was tempted to get the Dalmation.

Btw Merry Christmas!

Crewman6 said...

Merry Christmas to you too! Hope you'll have an excellent new year.

Any plans for your next Runescape goals?
Monique's been focusing on her 'almost' skills. You know, the ones that are 'almost 99'. She got fletching and firemaking nearly back to back. I think she's doing wood-cutting next.

I'm still making broad bolts. Slow, but profitable.

Sam said...

Nice. My goals are pretty much to become a better pker on Foshizzel and publicise my Youtube Channel. (I guess the Youtube part dose not count as an RS goal.)

Crewman6 said...

Both sound like great goals (and publicizing your youtube vids counts!)

Do you still have your blogger page for Runescape? You should post your videos there as well, along with tricks and tips. It'll help people find you to have more links leading to your videos.

Sam said...

I do still have it. It's before the Eoc, so it will take some cleaning up to do. Good idea! :)

Crewman6 said...

I do it a lot. Have a blogger blog just as a centralized listing of all my other sites and posts. Makes it easier for people to find, and links to my other sites.

(And it's an easy way for Mom to follow my posts... she's my most loyal fan!)

Sam said...

Lol.

Crewman6 said...

:^)

(That smiley took a lot of effort- Last night was the sickest I think I've ever been. Woke up the whole household. Mom thought a Sasquatch was in the house... she's been watching that series on tv.)

Sam said...

Same answer, lol.

Crewman6 said...

There's a 'squatch in them woods!

I always imagine that while they're on one end of the valley making sasquatch calls to lure 'real' ones, another team of hunters is at the far end going "I hear 'em! Quick, answer them!"

:^D

Sam said...

Wow 3 times now! Lol.

Btw, do you know any good moneymakers? I know a few, but they aren't as good as they where. I'm wondering if you know any?

Crewman6 said...

I have the same problem. Plus, I've been working on my 99's for so long, I'm not sure how many of my old moneymakers are doing. But here's what I'm doing for money now (Some may require prerequisite levels and quests):
Morchella Mushrooms - Can grow these about every 4 hours, for a current profit of around 90k each time.

Chaeldar- buy unfinished broad bolts once a day for an average profit of 70k.

Mithril seeds - once a day, buy for an average 140k profit.

Red Sandstone - mine and craft once per day. Not sure of profit, because I keep mine for ages,then sell for 10 or 20 mil.

Wicked Hood- teleport to Blood altar daily and make Blood Runes. I keep mine, but can usually make about 40k gold if I sell.

Catherby-Arhein - talk to him, by 80 seaweed per day. Around 40k profit.

Lunar - Baba Yaga - 20 battlestaves daily. Then Naff's Staffs in Varrock, buy 80 battlestaves. Sell the 100 for median price, make around 80k profit daily.

I usually do all this after 7:00pm every day (that's when the update is for us).

There are plenty of other daily chores, but the rest either don't interest me, or aren't profitable enough. I know this is a pretty barebones list, but you can google the details for any that sound interesting.

Currently, I'm working on fletching, and have found a mild profit in making broad bolts.

I used to love doing Grottworms, but unfortunately, they're always crowded now.

Hope some of these suggestions help!

By the way, I saw your video. Congrats on 33mil. You're really on your way to 100! (You had a computer crash?)

Sam said...

Computer Crash? What was that related to? Sorry. I'm probably being daft but I don's really understand.

Also thank you for the money making tips. :) Very helpful!

Sam said...

Ohhhhh! My bad. The crash was to the description on the video. Oh okay, now I understand. Very sorry for being stupid there. Lol. I meant the economy on Runescape, and that all the items have crashed. (not my computer) Sorry.

Crewman6 said...

Lol - read that the wrong way. Glad your computer is fine!

And you're welcome for the tips. Those are just my daily maintenance things. I haven't actually worked on making a real profit in a long time. My bank goes up or down depending on the skill I'm training. Some cost, some show a profit.

Fletching broad bolts makes money, and slow exp. After that, I'll switch to Hunting. I hope it's a fast skill and profitable, but won't research it until finished with Fletching.

Sam said...

I've been going for the 100m challenge... but I've been bored out of my mind the whole time. I've decided to end the series because there are no fast money makers out there. (Also I want to buy some stuff!) I'm kinda sad to end it. The video got 4 likes already.

Crewman6 said...

You made a lot of progress. But I have to agree- making gold is a slow an boring process now.
So buy some stuff, have some fun, then continue towards the goal.
No need to quit, just take breaks on the way. I like your videos!

Sam said...

Thank's for the encouragement. :)

Crewman6 said...

We all need some now and then!

:^)

Crewman6 said...

Sorry I was slow to respond yesterday. By the time I found the quick chat for saying goodbye... you were gone.

So, how did tanking the boss go? (And which one were you tanking?)

Sam said...

Don`t sweat it. :)I tried to find that in Quick Chat but I could not say what boss I was fighting. I was doing a KBD run.

Crewman6 said...

That's cool. Are you still working on a guide for him?

Sam said...

I might make a guide on him.

Crewman6 said...

That would be cool. Especially since Jagex changed EOC yet again. I've been busy with Hunter and POP, so haven't tried it yet. But I hear on the forums it's made nearly everything significantly harder to defeat.
Once again, there goes my ability beat Jad... :^)

Sam said...

I hate how they keep changing everything too. I've gotten the clips for the KBD Guide, now I just need to edit them. :D

Crewman6 said...

Awesome- I can't wait to see it!

Sam said...

Once, I have 99 wc I'm going to make a guide on how to get there because I've got some good ways. :)

Crewman6 said...

That should be a popular video! How close to 99 are you?

Sam said...

I'm at about 500k from 95. Gonna be a while. :/

Crewman6 said...

Lol... yep, that's going to take a while! Don't feel bad, I'm working on Hunter now, and am at 87 as of this morning. Hunter definitely qualifies as one of those skills I hate doing!!

Saw your KBD vid- I like the KISS (keep it simple, stupid) approach. When I was military, that was often the only way to explain things.

Sam said...

I have my agility at the level I want it, so I'm using my Skoll boots on Woodcutting.

Crewman6 said...

One down, one to go? I used Skoll boosts on Agility last year. Since then, I've been making a dedicated run for all 99's, so none of the Hati/Skoll boosts help me any more.

Monique's using them. Combat levels, I think she said.

Sam said...

Wow, all 99's... Good luck!

Crewman6 said...

Thanks! I owe it all to the EOC. Pretty much gave up combat until they finally stabilize it. :^D

I'm 88 Hunting, 92 Farming, and 101 Dungeoneering, the rest are 99s. It feels really close, but I know there's still a long long way to go.

... Hunting is BORING.

Sam said...

:O Wow! You are very close!

Sam said...

I'm supper happy right now! (to much)
I traded my Xmas Tree Hat for a Dragon Full. The Hat might go up over time, but frankly I can't say no to something that looks so cool as the Dragon Full Helm!

Crewman6 said...

Now that's cool. I checked on Wiki, the helm's worth roughly 25mil. Wow- you did great!

Are you doing any of the Desert Tasks? Monique and I have done the easy, medium, and hard. We'll do some of the elites this weekend. But that darn Dominion tower... not even going to try until after getting all 99's.

Really, the Amulet 2 from the medium tasks is the best reward. It lets you teleport to the rug merchant at Nardah. That's going to make the desert far easier to get around in.

Sam said...

I haven't done any yet.

Crewman6 said...

It's not as well-balanced as the other achievement tasks. The coolest part was the teleport, and that's earned from the medium tasks.

Been doing POP. Still nowhere near making any armor. But I'm getting close to a 4th ship, I think.

Sam said...

Lol. Good luck!

Crewman6 said...

Gonna need it. I've failed several missions the last day or two. Just got to keep at it...

Sam said...

Man, you've been going hard for the comp cape.

Crewman6 said...

I for sure want the max skills cape. Not sure I'll ever get the completionists! (Don't you hate moving targets? If we earned a reward, it shouldn't be taken away just because they came back and added stuff to the list...)

I saw a trolling video this morning claiming Runescape was releasing the Sailing Skill today. Jagex has said they don't intend to do a sailing skill, but they do plan to release two new skills this year.

Any guesses?

Sam said...

Yeah I saw thank one too. :P Chris Archie I think? I don't know, if it's a resource skill, runescape pretty much has all of them.

Crewman6 said...

Yeah, that was the one.
Jagex implied that one skill would be gathering resources, and the other doing something with the resource; and that it would be an additional source of income for players. I'm like you- can't think of any applicable skill they haven't already done.

Crewman6 said...

Did you see all the EOC changes today? Plus Sinkholes- not sure I'm going to like that... I don't usually play well with others.

Sam said...

Lol. They may be re-balancing Duel Wielding and 2h weapons.

Crewman6 said...

That would be nice. From what I hear, dual is underpowered and 2-handed weapons overpowered.

Did you get your free bank expansion from Solomon yet?

Sam said...

Yes I did. :)

Crewman6 said...

Glad you got yours. Monique found out by accident, and made me get mine before I could forget.

Tried Sinkholes. I think I'm going to like it. Monique surely does- she's already trying to hit it twice a day!

Sam said...

I haven't tried it yet. I'll have to give it a go.

Crewman6 said...

Yeah, it's kind of funny. She makes sure not to miss the twice-a-day sinkhole d&d. While she's fighting in cool dungeons and getting fun prizes, I'm over here putting the Big Chinchompa to sleep.

But it's great exp. Between twice-daily giant chinchompa, and the daily challenge for hunting, my hunting gets at least 150k each day.

Sam said...

Wow, nice.

Crewman6 said...

Yeah, I guess it is... she might be doing the cool stuff, but I'm making progress on my chosen skill.

Got bored with Jadinkos, last night started chasing Snowy Knight butterflies. They're a little aggravating, but good exp. Still have a long long way to go.

Sam said...

Once you get 99 hunter do you have the max cape?

Crewman6 said...

Unfortunately, no. Then I have to get Farming from 93 to 99. I Hate Farming... :^(

It makes Agility seem fun by comparison!

Sam said...

Lol. I got to 95 woodcutting today, slowly but surely I'm getting to 99.

Crewman6 said...

Congrats on the 95! You're right, it's a slow process. Do you woodcut for money, or for lumber for firemaking, or do you cut vines just for speed?

Sam said...

I'm cutting Arctic Pine trees. They are the best xp per hour I've found so far. It's horrible money but it's very fast xp.

Crewman6 said...

I don't think I ever tried that. At least it's making a small profit while you train!
I was hoping to make money for farming while training hunting, but since Chinchompas tanked in value, I'm just doing barehanded Snowy Knights for speed training.

Not exciting, but could be worse...
Are you training anything else at the same time, or just focusing on woodcutting?

Sam said...

I'm mainly fighting kbd, woodcutting, and training herblore here and there.

Crewman6 said...

Sounds like a good mix. Any luck with the KBD?

Sam said...

No Dragon Rider pieces or Visages yet.

Crewman6 said...

Won't be long then. Hope you catch it on video when it happens!

(My visage came from Steel Dragons- took 2 months. Monique waltzed in on a slayer task, and got one in the first 5 minutes.)

Sam said...

:O

Crewman6 said...

Are you going to play on the 2007 servers? It sounds nice, but I just don't have the time to train two characters. I'm going to stick with the post-EOC version.

Speaking of training, it's a close thing but I think Monique's going to 99 her Hunting skill before I do. I'm moving up fast, but she's mostly through level 98 already.

Sam said...

Wow. Good job to both of you!

I think I am going to play the 07 servers. I've been wanting to make a new account and experience what it was like at a slow level again. :)

Crewman6 said...

Thanks! I can understand wanting to play the 07 version. Don't have enough time to divide, but I could see the appeal.

Slow? I bet a lot of people don't realize how much slower training will be. There's already a lot of people on forums wanting all sorts of custom add-ins to suit their tastes.

I hope you make a videolog. It would be interesting to see snippets from your training as you level up.

Sam said...

Ok I will! :)

Crewman6 said...

Cool! I'm already looking forward to it!!

Sam said...

It's out! :)

Crewman6 said...

I just watched it- that was fun. Made me remember the old days. Keep up the good work!

Crewman6 said...

Oh, by the way... Monique got 99 Hunter last night. I got 98. I'm one level behind her!!

Sam said...

My god! You both train insanely well!

Sam said...

I hit 250 kbd kills today. Still no drop worth more than 100k! >:/

Crewman6 said...

Haven't checked here for a couple of days- been working extra, with a co-worker out sick.

Thanks for the compliment! I think you pegged it with the "insane" part!! I've got about 100k to go for 99 hunting, then it's on to Farming (groan).

250 kills and no cool drops? Man, that's got a be a bad luck streak. You're certainly due for some better luck soon!

Sam said...

Mhm.

Crewman6 said...

:^) Certainly the response of someone overdue a reward!

Maybe you'll have better luck during the weekend.

I finally got my Hunting 99, will start farming (probably) tomorrow. Got to get from 94 to 99. Yuck.

Sam said...

:/ Gl!

Crewman6 said...

After a couple of days farming, I realized, it's not as bad as I remembered.

It's worse! (My mind must have been protecting me from those bad memories!!)

How's the KBD marathon going?

Sam said...

I've been playing a lot of 07 instead for now.

Crewman6 said...

That sounds fun. How do you like the pking compared to modern style?

Sam said...

I haven't tried pking yet.

Crewman6 said...

I'm surprised! Other goals first? Or do you have to train a pker character before he's good at it?

Sam said...

The one that I'm playing on 07 is not a pure actually. I just want to enjoy the worlds best graphics ;)

Sam said...

I just got a KBD Head! :D

Crewman6 said...

LOL! :^)

Crewman6 said...

KBD Head is awesome- it'll go great in your house! Nice that you finally got something cool for all the hard work.

Do you prefer the old king, or the new king?

Sam said...

New King for sure! No going through the wild....

Crewman6 said...

That's an excellent point! I'm always glad on Penguin night when there's none out in the Wildy.

Farming... still boring after all these years. Though Monique is always reminding me how tough it was when she got her 99... uphill both ways, storming, barefoot, all that stuff. :^)

Sam said...

How close are you to 99?

I got a 2nd KBD head lol.

Crewman6 said...

Just got 97 this morning. I figure maybe a little less than 2 weeks away from the cape!

Now you've got 2 KBD heads? All those kills, and suddenly this... Are you going to make 2 rooms and mount them both, or just keep one as a backup?

Sam said...

Right now Im keeping a kbd loot tab in my bank. My goal is 1000 kbd kills. But I might also want to get 500 cw games and 500 kbd kills on the same day. (im at 400 cw games) Once I reach my goal I will put one in my house, But I will also keep one just as a cool thing to have in my bank.

Sam said...

I made a new kbd guide. I think this one is a lot better.

Crewman6 said...

Sounds like a cool plan. My hat's off to you, all those CW games. Not to mention so many KBD kills!

I finally sat down and watched the new KBD guide. Very nice, I like that you keep it short and direct. I also like seeing some post-EOC guides, we need more!

Sam said...

I'm glad you liked it. :)

Crewman6 said...

So what's your current KBD and CW count? Are you keeping them even, or does one need a lot more than the other to get your 500/500 on the same day?

Sam said...

Around 350 kbd, still 400 cw. I've been doing slayer the last few days.

Crewman6 said...

That's a lot of KBD and CW. After all that, I bet Slayer feels like you're taking a rest break!

BTW, just got Max a few minutes ago. Haven't written it up yet.

Sam said...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice!!!!

Sam said...

Finally got The World Wakes quest done. Worst 2 hours of my life....

Crewman6 said...

Thanks! :^)

Worst 2 hours? What happened??

Sam said...

A system update happened. I died. I nearly lost my new Ragefire boots and Gano. But I got back with 3 seconds to spare!

Crewman6 said...

Holy cow! I'd have to agree, that pegs the stress-meter right at the top!

Glad you got your boots and gano back. :^)

Sam said...

Me too. So how does it feel to be walking around with a Max Cape?

Crewman6 said...

:^D It feels awesome!!!

Hows the CW and KBD count coming?

Sam said...

Slowly but surely... This new editing program I'm trying is really confusing, so most of my time is going to it at the moment.

Crewman6 said...

New video program? Which one is it? I used to use Pinnacle for years, but they had serious problems. Then I used Cyberlink, which I liked for a long time. Until it started unsyncing my audio.

Now I use Corel VSProX5, and love it. But with all three, the interface was pretty similar.
Is it Adobe Premier? I used to hear that one was complicated.

Whichever one, I know you'll figure out and be back on the warpath soon!

Sam said...

it is CyberLink PowerDirector 11.

Crewman6 said...

I like Cyberlink. It worked great on my old computer, but when I got my current computer, for some reason my audio started drifting off-sync.

You'll figure it out. Don't forget to check out youtube- there's usually a tutorial for just about everything there.

Sam said...

There sure is. :)

Crewman6 said...

Have you tried any of the recent content? Monique and I are catching our 20 Butterflies per day every day! Quick and easy exp.
We've also been enjoying the Slayer Masks from SOF, and it's getting to be a habit to do sinkholes twice a day. The rewards are nice, even the least ones.

Sam said...

I just got my 3rd kbd head. lol

Crewman6 said...

Boy, when you decide to focus, you really focus! 3 heads- wish you could post them side-by-side on one wall in the POH.

Sam said...

By the time I'm done every room in my house will have a kbd head!

Crewman6 said...

That would be awesome- it would make a great video!

I'm mainly doing pop and dungeoneering, and for a quick break, black dragons now and then.

Sam said...

Nice. I'm going to make an Obby Mauler pure on 07. I'm going to use throwing knives, then I will switch to my Obby Maul, and hopefully K.O. my opponent. I was thinking of making a pk series with my Obby Mauler. Do you think I should?

Crewman6 said...

It sounds like there's some potential in the idea. Maybe a video showing how you trained your pure, and then 4 or 5 videos showing his effectiveness in combat. If you get enough viewers, then keep making them!

Sam said...

Right now 07 pking vids are getting great views. I might make some progress videos.

Crewman6 said...

Even better- a subject with proven track record. Make a few, and see what kind of reaction you get.
Don't forget to link to them from your blog too.

Sam said...

I don't think I'm going to make progress videos. I want to keep him secret, and then make a big boom with a pk vid once he is ready.

Crewman6 said...

I could see that working.
With all your pk'ing experience, how are you liking the Wilderness Warbands? It sounds like something you'd excel at.

I bet you're really looking forward to the Castle Wars update this month!

Sam said...

Exactly the opposite for castle wars actually. I like castle wars how it is now, and I don't want them to ruin it! 500 castle wars games may never happen. :(

Crewman6 said...

I hadn't thought of it from that direction. I hope they don't ruin it for you... I'd like to see that 500th CW video!

Sam said...

Me too.

Crewman6 said...

Well, Castle Wars Update is out - That was quick! Have you had a chance to check it out yet? I might wander over there and see what's what, but I don't play it enough to have any idea of how the changes have affected it.

Sam said...

I haven't tried it yet. All I've been doing is training my Obby Mauler.

Crewman6 said...

I haven't tried it out, but last night Monique and I were doing our Penguin hunt, and when we teleported into Castle Wars, the graphic changes to the lobby took us by surprise. We didn't expect the outside of the game to be updated!

Looked pretty cool, the there's a glitch with the signpost outside that got Monique stuck for a few seconds. Every time she ran past it, the signpost pulled her back.

Sam said...

That's funny. I'll have to try it out.

Crewman6 said...

I still haven't tried the new CW. Been pretty busy. Putting a couple of music videos together today, posting them took up most of my free time.

Sam said...

Training my obby mauler is killing me........

Crewman6 said...

I imagine it does take a long time if you're starting from scratch. You're talking way over my head- I have a vague notion of the concept, but no idea of the specifics.

Sam said...

I hit 60 strength a few days ago. :)

Sam said...

I've now discovered that it takes at least 2 and a half hours to find a fight on 07.

Crewman6 said...

Congrats on 60!
You mean nobody else is out there wanting to pvp? Maybe they're training their pure and you got ready before anybody else!

Sam said...

There are people out there. The problem is, I'm not skulling (don't want to loose obby maul), so I risk 25k gp instead. Thing is, people who are risking 10k overall, want me too risk 250k. :/ Or, It's just obby maulers out there that wont skull like me. Or.... They don't want to fight maulers.

Crewman6 said...

So unless they have an overwhelming advantage, they won't fight? Do they run away when you attack them?

Sam said...

That's the problem, I don't want to skull because then I am risking my maul.

Crewman6 said...

Shows how much I don't know about pvp... I thought the idea with a pure was to look like an easy kill, but be a lot tougher than you look?

It sounds like you're just roaming around in your superman costume and nobody wants to tangle with you!

Sam said...

Lol. Its out!

Crewman6 said...

Just couldn't keep the glasses on, could you? :^D

Sam said...

:P

Sam said...

What did you think of it?

Crewman6 said...

Youtube changed their layout again. I just now went and found your new video.
First, I love the new intro. Nice effects, especially the light flare.

Looks like you managed to find at least a few fights. Thought it was funny when someone asked what your cape was. Tell him "Superman"

How long did it take you to edit all that?

Sam said...

I edited it in parts, but all together it was about 6 hours or so.

Crewman6 said...

I like how friendly everybody is while killing each other. :^)
Does "gf" mean 'good fight'?

No idea how people can fight and talk all at the same time. If I'm fighting something, it's pushing buttons, watching food and prayers, and trying not to die. There's no time to be social - I have to concentrate!

Sam said...

Yes gf does mean good fight.

Sam said...

I'm now one like away from achieving my goal on Prohibited99 Pk Vid 1. Oh, and btw I made a new intro too. :)

Crewman6 said...

9 likes and 117 views- excellent! (I did try and like it one more time, but it no surprise, you can only like once.)

I hope to see Prohibited PK Vid 2 very soon now.

Sam said...

I just checked it and it was down to 8 likes. If you hit the like button again when you have already liked it, it unlikes. So that may explain a bit lol.

Crewman6 said...

Oops... well, now we know. I went back and re-liked it!!

Sam said...

Awesome thanks!

Sam said...

I now have 10 likes on the vid!!

Sam said...

Omg I just looted an obby maul!

Crewman6 said...

Congratulations on the 10th like!

And wow- did you get it on video? That would be cool to feature in your next youtube presentation!

Sam said...

I sadly did not get it on video. :(

Crewman6 said...

That's too bad... but heck, you got an obby maul!
In the meantime, when can we expect to see the next video?

Sam said...

Hopefully by the end of this weekend but it will probably be released sometime in the upcoming week.

Sam said...

Actually now that I'm realizing that all food prices have doubled it may take a little while longer to finish this video. :/

Crewman6 said...

What's up with the food prices? Are the '07 prices still settling in, or did some update change the balance?
Might be worth leveling up your fishing and cooking to make you own, in the long term.

Sam said...

I reply to you as I fish in another tab. Lol. I'm not sure why all the prices are sky rocketing but I want to make some money off it! I'm 13 fishing atm. Once I get to 40 fishing I will cook all the food I have. Hopefully it will get me to 40 cooking so then I can fish and cook lobsters.

Crewman6 said...

Haha :^D I guess great minds really DO think alike!
That's a good plan- "Why" isn't as important as "Can I make money from it!" Good thing it's the weekend. You should have no trouble getting to 40.

Sam said...

It's nice because I can be fishing and editing Prohibited99 Pk video 2!

Crewman6 said...

Sounds like an efficient use of your time! That's what I like about fishing- you don't have to pay it full attention.

Looking forward to video # 2!

Sam said...

How long do you think it should be?

Crewman6 said...

Long enough to make your point. :^)

If you're doing a PKing video, maybe between 2 and 3 minutes?

As long as there's variety, and the pacing keeps the viewer involved you're good. Do a rough cut, walk away, come back in an hour and watch it as if you don't know what's coming. If it keeps you interested, you should be on the right track.

Sam said...

Ok. I was also thinking around 2 minutes or so. Thanks!

Crewman6 said...

No problem- if you ever need an opinion, I have plenty! :^D

Seriously though, that should be a good length. Keep your viewers interested, and keep them wanting more.

I'm looking forward to the next one!

Sam said...

Just so you know there is some Java hack thingy going around. So be careful on where you go! :)

Crewman6 said...

I hadn't heard about it yet. I'll try to watch out. I use the standard viruscheckers/firewalls, but I also run Noscript to prevent unauthorized shenanigans. But sometimes my security scans still pick up a virus.

Hopefully they'll get it protected soon. Or maybe the already have- my computer had a massive update last night for Windows, and I noticed a lot of it had to do with security issues.

Sam said...

Mine did too. It woke me up at 3:00 am. :/

Crewman6 said...

3:00 AM? Ouch. Hopefully you managed a bit of sleep after that!

Sam said...

Yeah, I did. :) Oh btw Prohibited99 Pk Vid 2 is out!

Crewman6 said...

Glad you got some sleep!

And- wow, I really enjoyed video 2. Sorry to hear about you getting phished, but you told a great story, you made me interested, and I think it was your best video yet. (I liked your use of music and silence in the edit, too)

Good work.

Sam said...

Thank you very much. It means a lot. :)

Crewman6 said...

You're welcome. I only said it because it was true. :^)

Sam said...

:) Your're a nice friend.

Crewman6 said...

I'm glad we're friends. We've been hanging out since 2011!

Sam said...

It's a long struggle to the Berserker neck. But I do think it is going to be worth it.

Crewman6 said...

Seems like it's made to suit your style. Is it really selling for 3mil?

Sam said...

Yeah............

Crewman6 said...

Ouch- no wonder it's taking so much work!!
