June 2006 Q&A's

All of these Q&A's are from June 2006.


Trebawa
Q: Hi Sal. I know that u make the crystal key by combining the two halves, but where do u get the halves? Thanks in advance

A: Aside from buying the halves from other players, the loop and teeth parts of the Crystal Key are dropped by various monsters, and given to you by Random Events.

Q: I was just wondering, what does "pl0x" mean? people say it's a clan and some people say it doesn't mean anything, so if you know what it means, please answer.

A: "Pl0x" is another way that players use to say "please." It looks a bit different than "plz" (probably from a typo), but it means the same thing. You can see a list of words like this here.

Q: hi sal, this is one of the best runescape websites ive ever been to, well, i dont wright to u much, but this time i really need a questions awnsered, i dont know if someones already asked this, but can u please tell me how you make colored gloves on runescape, and if so, can only members make them?

A: No one can actually make colored gloves, but there are all sorts of gloves that you can buy from the various towns in RuneScape. For example, you can get pastel-colored gloves from the Grand Tree, while you could get darker colored gloves from the shop in Canifis.

Boreas
Q: Sal, you PWN. Anyways, I was wondering if you were to die in the wilderness with a frog mask, or frog clothes on, could you get them back somewhere, or are they gone forever?

A: If you happen to lose a Frog Mask or clothes, you need to get another token and exchange it at the Varrock Clothes Shop.

Q: Hello, I have a question about something. This may be the wrong staff to ask, but, here it goes. I was looking at your 'Getting Runescape Music' Page and I tried it, and it only plays the same songs in the Draynor-Port Sarim area. I read over the instructions again and again, tried again and again, and nothing worked. Is there something wrong with my computer or is it with the file? I am trying to play the song 'Shadowland' from Mort'ton, maybe the song is the problem....it has worked for me before. I downloaded 'Faerie' from Zanaris, and that worked. That was yesterday. Can you help?

A: Apparently, with the game engine update in RuneScape, there is no way (currently known) to get the RuneScape music from the game. That guide is just for reference.

Q: First off ur site ROXXXXXXX!! Second by any chance and i mean ANY chance, what time period does runescape take place in?? About a gizzilion of my friends want to know!! THX!!

A: RuneScape is supposed to take place in the Medieval period (with castles, knights, swords and medieval-based weaponry, etc).

Q: hey sal! let me tell u that this is the site for all runescapers! NEW AND PRO ALIKE!. ok i have been having a big problem.is rune (g) armor better than plain rune armor? i have been wondering this but nobody knows ! well plz answer my question sal. again i have to compliment u on this site! it is my homepage!!

A: No, Rune Armor (g) and regular Rune Armor both have the same exact stats and there is no difference between them, besides the trimming. This is the same for the god armors and such.

Q: my question is, how can i syubmit stuff like quest guides, city guides,etc... and b.t.w, i love your site, i use it all the time

A: The best way to submit guides (and corrections!) is on the forums. Just sign up for a free account and post in the appropriate submissions section. Of course, feel free to post in the other sections as well and join the community! :-)

Envy
Q: hey sal great site!! i was just looking at the pictures of the old runescape and i was wondering if when it changed to runescape2 if u had to start all over again plz reply

A: Actually, all of the original RuneScape Classic accounts were copied over to the RuneScape (2) game, so we didn't need to start all over again. We kept all of our items, stats and quests on the new game. Of course, it was possible to transfer your items back to the old game if you wished to play RuneScape Classic rather than the new version of the game, but you could only have your items on one game rather than both.

Q: Hay sal great web page, its awesome.
Ihave like 3 questions that really need answering!!
1) Where do u get armour trimmed?
2) Will jagex ever put a bank on karmarja island?
3) And finally is buyin accounts legal?
thank you!! Plz reply.

A:
1) Armor cannot be trimmed. You must either trade another play for some, or obtain it yourself from a Treasure Trail.
2) No, Jagex will never put a bank in the city of Karamja, although there is one in Shilo Village (however, it is members-only).
3) Account buying/selling is illegal (and unsafe), and likely to get your account(s) banned if Jagex discovers that you sold it.

Q: Your site is my Runescape Bible! If I did the Christmas 2005 thing but didn't keep a marionette, can I still get one (like from Diango)?

A: No, you can only get a Marionette if you participated in (and completed) the Christmas 2005 event.

Q: Is the chance of a monster droping a clue scroll decreased every time u get one?

A: Your chance of getting a clue scroll doesn't decrease when you get one, but you can only have one at a time. So if you have one in your backpack (or in your bank), you wouldn't be able to get another until you solve (or drop) the first scroll.

Q: yo sal, cool site,now how in the rune world do you turn coal into certificates?

A: You can no longer turn items into "Certificates," but you can turn them into Bank Notes very easily. See the Bank Notes guide for specific instructions.

Q: I'll just get right to the point sal, I hope I'm not being rude, but I just wanted to know how to get to Runescape2. I typed in [link removed] but no luck. Do I have to be a member? Please help me. Your the best man. Have a great summer!

A: RuneScape 2 is just the same as regular "RuneScape" - the one that most people play. Back when it was in BETA testing, it was called "RuneScape 2," while the old one was still being called "RuneScape." Once the BETA test was over, the first RuneScape was named "RuneScape Classic" (RSC), and RuneScape 2 was renamed to "RuneScape." So, you're already playing "RuneScape 2." :-)

Q: Hi sal, ur site sure rocks!! But I have a question: WHAT ON EARTH CAN U DO WITH A TORTOISE SHIELD??

A: They're actually called Tortoise Shells, and can be obtained from Tortoises around the Khazard Battlefield and the swamp in the Tree Gnome Stronghold. Currently, there aren't any uses for these objects, but it's rumored to be used in some sort of armor in a future update (nothing has been confirmed though).

Q: ive never been to this site so im just going to have to learn how good u r. words like scroll and shake can alter my text but how many words can alter the text and wat words do?

A: There are all sorts of combinations you can use to make your text change. See the full list here.

Q: should i have given some1 mi pin code just because they said they was a moderater, and wanted me to be 1? His name was rs mod no. 72, and his name kinda convinced me he was a moderator but i wasn\'t sure. Should i have given it to him or not?

A: No, you should NEVER give out your bank PIN or password to ANYONE who asks for it, as it will always be a scam. Jagex staff will NEVER ask you for your password or PIN, so you should never give any of this information out to anyone, even if they claim to be a Jagex Staff member.

Stephanie
Q: A few months ago, I made my name on runescape a member and I started the Plague City Quest. Then I stopped the membership and had to clear out my bank, in which i threwout the gas mask for the quest. When i went to go finish the quest I couldn't. Unfortunately this quest is the basis for many other member only quests. Is there anyway to get another gas mask to finish off the quest?

A: You should be able to get another one from Almera (who you got the mask from in the first place). You may need to bring her some more Dwellberries for her to make another.

AJ
Q: ok the question:im a member and my best freind is a freeplayer.can she visit my house?

A: Unfortunately, freeplayers are unable to visit any player-owned houses, as they are members-only.

Overmind
Q: Hi Sal your site rules by the way. So, I have full zombie and both emotes, does that mean that the grave guy will never come again?

A: The Gravedigger will still apear at random times (as before). You just won't be able to get any of those rewards.

Mithril Silverlight
Q: when you open the powerminer you download is it supposed to be a hacktool inside it ? , because when i scanned it with norton antivirus it seems there was a hacktool inside of it , thnx for reading this question

A: If Norton detects a "hacktool," it means that the file is infected. Generally, a hacktool is used by a hacker to gain access to your computer, and if you run the program, it's very likely that the attacker will have complete control over your system. If you haven't already, you should have Norton delete the file and then run a full system scan as soon as possible.

Arianwen
Q: I know I'm an idiot...but what in the world does PK stand for? I've seen it all over the place on your site and in the game, but I can't figure it out. Thanks a bunch!

A: PK stands for "Player Kill", although usually it is used as "PKer" (Player Killer) or "PKing" (Player Killing). See the Dictionary for more info.

Robby
Q: hi, i was wondering you have treasure trail rewards and there is all this nice black armour addy and for my first treasure trail i just completed now i got 10 trout and 50 air runes... whats up with that i was expecting some trimmed black armour or maybe a heraldic shield(my treasure trail was lvl 1)but i got a crappy reward why is this? yours truly, robby(rs name mokuba30)

A: Your rewards depend on the monster you get the first clue from. Generally, tougher enemies will drop clue scrolls leading to trimmed armor, while weaker ones will lead to regular items like black armor and dragonhide. Although we don't have a Treasure Trail guide on the website yet, we have an excellent guide in progress on the forum. See THIS topic for listings of monsters (and their clue scroll levels), and clue answers.

Q: Hey Sal, i have a question which stunned me and my friends. while i was firing my dwarf multicannon in releka at the rock crabs i came upon a problem......my cannon decayed!!!! It disapeared and i only have cannon balls left!what happened to it, can i get it back? Thanks!

A: If you use your Cannon for an extended amount of time, you'll get a message warning you about it decaying. You should be able to get around that by picking it up and setting it back down again. however, since your cannon has completely decayed, you need to visit the dwarf you bought it from (Nulodion, outside the entrance to the Dwarven mines) and get a replacement.
