Assist System and Skills Interface

There are two new updates to existing content this week, both of which have been drawn from your suggestions and ideas in runescape.
The first of our changes is to the Assist System. When we released it, we wanted it to be an alternative way for players to help others. We also envisioned it to be a safe option for doing this, without any worries about item scamming.

Since its release, many of you have left comments about the Assist System on the Forums runescape item. Having read these posts, we have come to the decision that many of you have a strong and valid point!

Some forum-posters felt that the Assist System should not be used for getting hold of raw materials when using skills like Mining and Woodcutting. After all, getting hold of raw materials does not involve an actual exchange of items - it involves the passing of one item, or a group of items, to another player without receiving anything in exchange. A main aim of the Assist System is to make exchanging items safer and scam-free, so it does not apply here.

We had considered this when first creating the Assist System; however, we felt that some players would appreciate having this ability. Now, thanks to your feedback, we have reassessed this decision.
So, this week, we have limited the Assist System to those actions that do not consist of gathering raw materials runescape money. An exhaustive list can be found in the knowledge base, here.

The skills that can no longer be used with the Assist System are:
Fishing
Hunter
Mining
Woodcutting
We have also taken the opportunity to make the interface smaller, allowing the split-chat to appear clearly for those players who use it.
Our second update is to the skills interface. The changes are largely gathered from your suggestions, so thank you very much. We hope you appreciate them.

You will notice the first change when you hover over a skill icon on the skill interface. A pop-up window will now tell you exactly how much xp is required to train to the next level. This saves having to work it out, allowing more time for actually training that skill.

Your xp tallies are now separated with commas, so your 1567993 experience is now 1,567,993. We think you'll agree that this is much nicer to look at runescape gold. The xp values are also justified to the right, so you can make at-a-glance comparisons quickly. Add to this a quicker pop-up window for your xp, and you have a tidy little update.

Runescape:Favourite skills of all time

Keep voting to really make a difference in RuneScape!

Welcome to the new poll system! First of all, we would like to mention that this poll is now fully accessible to Free-to-Play. There were some technical issues with the module that have now been sorted.

The new poll module has so many new features, some of which should become immediately apparent: we can ask more than one question, for example, and can offer more than ten possible answers. This is great news for us, as we can comprehensively ask those questions that we could not ask before: namely, 'What is your favourite non-combat skill?' So, take your time, look at each of the skills, and let us know which you most enjoy training buying runescape money. Once you have done this, have a thought about which non-combat skill you most want to see updated, and answer that one too!

Your answers will be invaluable when finding out which non-combat skills are rune scape appreciated, and which skill we should perhaps look at improving.

Reliving as a noob in Runescape

Today I was trying to get my mage level to 45 by training on the Lesser Demon trapped inside the Wizard's Tower. I had given him over a thousand chaos runes which he never used when I told him to, so instead I just did the work for him and used them to increase his mage level. Many rangers and mages come here to train their range and magic, because it is an effective area to train. However, the thing about that area is that it's multicombat, therefore other players can fight the same monster as you are buy runescape money, so many are bothered by the fact that others are fighting the same monster as them and reducing the amount of experience they earn. People get mad and they begin yelling insults at each other and calling each other noobs because of their magic levels.

My friend's account is only around level 60 and his stats are really, really poor. Overall he must have like 700 skill points before he became a member and before he gave me permission to use his account. Playing on his account, I've come to realize how many immature, noobish players there are in Runescape (although I've always know and believed this, my experiences on his account only strengthen them).While I was there, people began asking what our magic levels were. I really don't like socializing with these kinds of noobs, because more often than not they're just there to show off their arrogance and weak skills (though occasionally, you get someone who just wants to talk and I can fully sympathize with that). Shortly after they all began calling each other noobs. It was ridiculous. People even began to make stupid remarks such as "I have a level 126 main u noob lol".

And the day before that I was training my range by the Moss Giants above Ardounge. Warriors kept complaining that I was taking their monster away and rangers kept calling me a noob because they wore Blue Dragon Hide whereas I was wearing basic leather buy runescape gold. They also made fun of my range level, saying I was weak and noobish. There was even this one idiot who kept saying he could do a 22 with a dragon battle axe, obviously trying to show the world how powerful he was.

This kind of behavior is childish. I'm sick of it and have been for a long time. But I tolerate it, because I know how to handle it. If you don't like what's going on, turn your public chat to friends or better yet, off. You don't have to listen to these morons bicker. If you want to join in, go ahead, there's nothing wrong with that. Just make sure you won't be the one being picked on.

The ironic thing is that although they yelled noob at me, they don't know that I have a much higher leveled account than they do. I never tell anyone that because I myself don't show off unless there's a need to. I don't get runescape gold my pride from making other people feel worthless. And I've also come to learn that no matter how good you are in something, there's always some one else who's better at it, so really there is no need to show off "how good you are", because in the end it only makes you look like a moron.

The Basics about RuneScape Guides

RunescapeTo cast spells you will need to have the correct runes. Each type of rune contains a different type of power and is used when casting different types of spells, as shown below:
(m) = Members Only
Description
There are a number of ways in which you are able to obtain runes, as shown below:
Make them yourself buying runescape money, through the use of the Runecrafting Skill.Runes may be bought from other runescape players.Runes are often dropped by monsters on their death.Runes can often be found within chests.Runes may be bought from the Rune Shops, in Varrock and Port Sarim.Runes may be bought from the Magic Guild.Runes may be bought from the Mage Arena.Runes may be bought from Ali M.Runes can be stolen/bought from Ape Atoll.

Introduction
Magic is one of the most useful and versatile skills within RuneScape. Once you have learnt to use it properly, you’ll find that it compliments many other skills within the game, whilst also acting as an incredibly powerful tool in its own right.
There are two sides to Magic - Combat, and Non-Combat. The use of Magic and spellcasting in a fight may be vital in gaining the upper hand and ultimately the victory. Non-combat wise, Magic can be used to teleport around the RuneScape world very quickly, used in combination with other skills, or even for making money out of Items you have obtained or made yourself.

Combination Runes
Each combination rune counts as 1 rune for each type of element bound within it. This means that, for example, a Mist Rune counts as 1 Water Rune and 1 Air Rune at the same time, meaning that you could cast Water Strike (Level 5 Magic: 1 Mind, 1 Water, 1 Air to cast) with 1 mist and 1 mind rune.For more information on how to obtain combination runes, please visit the Runecrafting section of the manual.
Casting SpellsClicking on the spell book in your player console brings up the magic menu. This will bring up a screen of all spells available to you within the game. If the picture of a spell is darkened, it means that either you do not have a high enough level to cast it, or you do not have the runes in your inventory to do so. If a spell is lit up, then it means your level is high enough to cast it and you have enough runes in your inventory.
To cast any spell just click on its picture and then click on your desired target, in the main game window. Some spells can only be cast on monster’s and players, whilst others can only be cast on yourself, or items. You may want to experiment to see what targets are valid for each spell.To get more information on a spell, simply move your mouse cursor over its picture.
When you cast combat related spells, there is a chance of you failing. This is dependant on a few factors such as your magical attack bonuses, the magical defence bonuses of your opponent and your magic experience. For Offensive spells, if you fail to hit the opponent, you will still get the ‘Base XP’ which is the experience for casting the spell. If your spell does inflict damage runescape gold for sale, you will be awarded extra Magic experience.
A description of the spell and a list of which runes are required, is shown at the bottom of the window. Each required rune has 2 numbers shown below a picture of it. The first number indicates how many of that rune you have and the second number indicates how many are required, in order to cast the spell.
The numbers will be drawn in red when you do not have enough of those runes, in order to cast a particular spell.
You will find that heavy armour, particularly metallic armour, is very conductive of magic. Mages will often find themselves more effective against a hand to hand fighter in full armour, than other enemies. You will notice enemies in full metal armour will be hit harder by spells and that wearing heavy metal will negatively affect your ability to cast spells successfully.
The recommended equipment for Mages are light robes, which allow magical power to flow through their form freely.
Sometimes spells will fail to work. If a spell fails, you will still gain the base experience from casting the spell and you will still use the runes required to cast it, but you will see a ’splash’ effect on your opponent showing the failure of the spell. The higher level spells are more likely to fail, but as your magic ability improves, you will cast spells successfully more of the time.
Magic Staves
With a staff, you will find you can now use ‘Autocasting’ options. How to set a staff up to autocast is explained below, but it basically means you chose what spell you would like to continually cast. As long as you wield the staff and have the correct amount of runes, you will cast constantly until you stop, the opponent is defeated, or your rune supply runs out.
To equip a spell for quick casting, you will first need to ensure that you are wielding a magic staff.
Click on the sword icon found in the top left of the player control panel and it will bring up a screen, similar to the image on the left.
Click on the Spell Book image in the bottom right, to see which spells can be quick cast with the staff you have.
Now just click on the one you want to select. Make sure that the spell is highlighted, as in the left panel, so that next time you attack you will do so with your magic not your might.
Some staves have other powers as well, for example the staff of fire (shown above) will act effectively as an infinite supply of fire runes for the purpose of casting spells, as long as it is being wielded. Visit the staff shop in Varrock once you are ready to try out your first staff.
