Q: Hi, im a serious Rs2 fan and im in a bit of a muddle. How do u get into the Champions Guild? Do u have to find it or what? Thankyou sal

Q: I was jus wondering if there was an halloween drop yesterday bcuz I missed it if there was. Some1 said there wasn't 1 and I'm curious. And if there wasn't will there be another 1? thx! Great site Sal!! I love your Ranged guide!

A: No, there wasn't a Halloween drop yesterday, and there will not be another again, as far as I know. I guess that the last Halloween drop was the last one, since many people complained about not getting a Scythe, and now with the various topics on the RuneScape Forums about them, Jagex has decided to stop them altogether.

Q: sal, i dont know how to make coal into notes can you help me???

A: To make a bank note, go into your bank and at the bottom corner of the screen should be a button that says "note." Click that, and then withdraw the items you want to take out as a note.

Q: hi sal, i dont get any music! no sound at all, zip none, nada! how do i get sound??? (i have a mac computer and im not stupid enough to forget to turn up the sound) p.s. about those 3 people you see on your site in the top left corner who are they? (i know you are in the middle)

A: Jagex said that there are issues with the sound, but they're still working on it. Also, make sure you have the newest version of Java, which you can get from http://www.java.com. Sound only works with Internet Explorer too, so if you're using a different browser and want sound, use IE. I'm not sure if this will help, and if it doesn't, contact RuneScape Support.


Anvil Expert
Q: dood sal, like umm, your website is awesome.....
anyway i have some questions
1) what (for free players) would be the fastest way to gain crafting lvls?
2)what is the running pric for masks? ive heard blue are 1mil, red are 750k, and green are 375k.
3)out of all the staffs, fir, water, earth, air, which would be the best to have in terms of spell casting and such?


1) The best way to level up Crafting would probably be leather-working, since everything you need is around Al Kharid.
2) Check the Holiday Guide for info about Holiday Item prices.
3) It really depends on what kind of spells you're using. Usually if you're using attack spells, it's best to have an Air staff since you use lots of Air Runes. If you're casting an Alchemy spell, use a Fire staff.


Gatesentinel
Q: i read in the magic skills article on this site that you can find a dragonfire sheild in lumbridge castle. ihave been looking for it, for a month, and i cant find it. do you know where it is?

A: You need to first start the Dragon Slayer Quest, and then talk to the King of Lumbridge upstairs in the castle about a shield to fight Dragons with.


Jonny
Q: The dragon hide body u have to do dragon slayer but do you have to do dragon slayer 4 the leg or vambrases?thx

A: You actually need to do the Dragon Slayer Quest to be able to wear any kind of Dragonhide leather.


Ben Killer
Q: where can i get a ring of wealth? do u have to be a member to have it?

A: The only way to get a Ring of Wealth is to Craft it or buy it from another player, but they're a Member's Only item.


Roshan
Q: hey i saw someone with armour i never seen before it was all gold it sounds crazy but i saw it yesterday he had a gold plat and leggs.then there was this other guy who was rite by him who had tannish brownish armour which wasnt bronze.my question is what kind of armour is this

A: The completely gold armor is the new armor from Treasure Trails, called Guilded Armor. There are also Trimmed Skirts now as well. The brown armor is the new Treebark Mage Armor which you can get from the Wizard's Tower after doing the Mort'ton Shades Quest.


Strongbad
Q: Hey I did the mining 2000 coal and 1000 iron and smithing and makein 200 steel plates and I did it and sold them all and I only got 98k did I do something wrong?

A: You probably didn't get as much cash as expected because as you sell the plates to the store, the price for selling them goes down. It's best to use a High Alchemy spell on them to get the full amount of cash.


Panther
Q: What does it mean when a rock starts smoking when you mine it??

A: When a rock starts smoking, it means that it will explode if you keep mining at it, shich will damage your pick.


Strongbad
Q: Hey I've been looking at your sight and the pictures of you around runescape and I noticed you always have a santa hat on, so do you really like the santa hat or do you just not have any other rare hats?

A: Actually, that Santa Hat is my good luck charm and it's my favorite kind of hat.


Andrew
Q: hello. i am sure there are lots of other people like this on rs, but i am really bored on runecape. i have finished all the quests (exept members) and i dont really have anything fun to do anymore. any suggestions on anything to do? ps: if you tell me to get a life, i totally agree. im a looser)

A: Well, you could always try making a new character as a pker and have some fun in the wilderness, or you could find a skill that you like to work on. Sometimes it's also good to take a break from the game for awhile and do something else, and then come back to it after not playing for some time.


Dagibit
Q: I'm all about black combat stuff, and i know that they can't be smithed. I know where 2 find blk pl8 mails, leg armor, and weapons, but have no idea how 2 get the flag shields, nor full or med helmets. Are they sold in some members place? Also, where can i find a rune hachet? By the way, ure site is fantastic!!

A: Full Black Helmets are sold in the Champion's Guild, but you'll have to kill Moss or Ice Giants to find a Black Kite Shield.


Dakota
Q: Do you run this website alone? or do you have people who help you out day after day?

A: Actually, I'm the only person that runs this site, and I write most of the guides for it.


Kyle
Q: How come in the old RS you could get health by sleeping on a bed and now you can't?

A: In RuneScape Classic, you can get fatigued by working on most of the skills in the game, and by sleeping on a bed you could get rested up so that you can work on them again. In RuneScape there is no Fatigue, so there's no need to sleep on beds (but I still wonder how anyone can live without sleeping:D).


Pepsimies X
Q: Hey Sal! Do you know what would be the best place for mining iron?

A: For a Free-Player, the best place would probably be at the mine south of Al Kharid or the one southwest of Varrock. For a member, the best place would be the mine near Ardougne.


Mark
Q: hi i was wondering if u know where about the blue moon inn is plz thx luv ure website really useful

A: The Blue Moon Inn is in Varrock, near the Sword Shop and General Store.


Redkerrin
Q: Where is Canafis i cant find it on the map?

A: Canifis is found northeast of Varrock, but you need to have completed the Priest in Peril quest so that you can get to the town.


Omega1310
Q: how do i fix pickaxes?

A: If the pickaxe head just flies off, you just need to pick it up and use it with the handle. If you accidentally mined from a smoking rock and it was damaged, you'll need to bring it to Nurmof in the Dwarven Mines so that he can repair it for you.


Roshan888
Q: i know this is a very stupid question but how much does a sliced banana cost? and also if a member makes arrows can he/she trade the arrows with a free player?(great website sal)

A: You actually can't buy a sliced banana. Instead, you just need to pick a regular 1 from a banana tree on Karamja and then cut it up with a knife.


Ashish
Q: is party rooms only for members or can free players go in them? where are they located at?

A: There's only 1 party room for Members, and that one is located in the Seer's Village.


Ollieasaurus
Q: hi, i was raging at the fire giants once and a shade appeared, i killed it and got shade robes. are shade better for any type of skill!

A: Shade robes have a good Magic defense, which is mainly why people wear them.


Billy
Q: hi, this is my first time asking a question about rs. i was wondering, if my account expires on members, will all my members items be transferred over? oh, and on more thing, how do u get robes of zammy?

A: If your Members account expires, you'll still have all of your items, including Members objects, but you will be unable to use them until you renew your membership. If you have too many items in your bank, you won't be able to deposit anything new until you take some items out until it's under the Free-Play limit. As for Zamorak Robes, you can get them from killing Necromancers in the tower southeast of Ardougne.


Nathan
Q: Where and how do u get trimmed amour I know it is on treasure trails on members worlds but where are the treasure trails and do they just drop or people just give it to your for free?

A: Specific monsters such as Men, Guards and Ice Warriors will sometimes drop a clue when they're defeated on a Member server. You have to solve that clue to get another, and after solving several, it will lead to either an NPC who will give you a treasure, or you'll have to dig it up. The actual treasure ranges from Runes and coins to trimmed armor.


Jim
Q: can only members get the holiday items drop thing or can free world also? PS ur sites awesome.

A: IF holiday items are dropped, they're going to be for both Free-Play and Members, but I'm not completely sure if there's going to be a drop this year.


Oinkers
Q: I signed up for a membership but my money hasnt gotten there yet. How long should it take the money to make it to that place from toronto?

A: I'd definitely give it at least a week and a half to go from Toronto to England, but if it doesn't get there within 2 weeks, contact RuneScape support through their website.


Joe
Q: Hey, what does charcoal do and where do i get it? Thanks.

A: Charcoal is only used in the Legends Quest, and it can be bought from the store north of Tai Bwo Wannai on Karamja, or made by using Coal with a fire.


Pantooy
Q: How do u get coloured boots and gloves? can u dye them?

A: Colored boots and gloves are bought from the clothing shop in Canafis for about 650gp each. The gloves can be traded to Free-Players by Members, but the boots are Members-Only.


Georgia
Q: Hey Sal!Is a rune javelin Rare? How much is it worth? I have 2 other questions....Im not quite sure how to make ots of money could i do it by cooking lots of good stuff ans selling it? And my other question is Do you actually play RuneScape? If so what are your stats?

A: Rune Javelins can actually be bought from the Ranging Guild for about 520gp each. As for your other 2 questions, cooking and selling foods like Lobsters, Swordfish or Stew could be profitable. And of course I play RuneScape! You can see my stats on the Salmoneus Page.


Chromana
Q: That tree attacked me and now I have a broken mithril axe. It cost me loads and I was wondering if u can repair axes? Cheers ; )

A: You can have your broken axe repaired by Bob, the axe seller in Lumbridge, but he'll charge you to fix it.


Cool Dude
Q: yo wassup i need to know where to get a pie dish i know its lame but i have been lookin for it for about a month now nobody will trade me its so lame

A: Pie Dishes can be found in the Cook's Guild,  and on the counter in Nurmof's Pickaxe shop in the Dwarven Mines.


Joe
Q: thanx fer the site! do I have to do the troll quest thing to make law runes, or can I just buy a law talisman from another player?

A: I think that you can buy the Talisman from another person so that you can make the Runes, but I'm not completely sure about it.


Siningpig11
Q: dude, i was training and a mysterious man gave me a strange box. some thing like that, maybe it was called a strange cube. anyway i opened it and it did nothing. WHAT ARE THEY FOR????

A: It's a Mysterious Box, which when opened, you'll have to solve the easy puzzle to get a reward of coins or something else. If you don't answer it quickly, it will just keep multiplying, and you won't get a reward until you answer them all.


Redkerrin
Q: Do u think that as runescape gets older the already good players will get better and better or will lesser players catch up?

A: I think that eventually, players with less experience will catch up with the more skilled ones, if they keep working at it.


Tammy
Q: Can i buy agility potions from anywhere, i need some for the tai bwo wannai trio quest. By the way your sites great!

A: No, there isn't a shop to buy the potions from, but you can buy them from other players if you can't make them yourself.


Ollieasaurus
Q: hi great website, do u no wot the quickest way to get my ranging up(im a member) because it takes ages!

A: Chaos Druids are a great way to level up your Ranged, since they have weak Ranged defense. The Wolfmen in Canafis are also a good way to level your ranged up if you're a high leveled ranger.


Jimmy Lin
Q: I would like to know what time the runescape time is based on. Thanks!

A: The RuneScape time is based on the time in England.


Melissa210
Q: i heard that in members, u can by a dragon long sword by doing the lost city quest. but i heard the section was closed of until u give that thing a diamond. do u need a cut or uncut diamond to enter?

A: I think that you can actually use either a cut or uncut diamond to get into that area of the Lost City.


Damaxyz
Q: Where's the champions guild?

A: The Champion's Guild can be found just southwest of Varrock.


Pantooy
Q: Do you have to be level 40 def AND have to do dragon slayer to be able to wear rune pl8 or just 40 def?

A: You need to have both completed the Dragon Slayer Quest and have 40 defense before you can wear a Rune Plate Mail.


Shadow_Boy24
Q: hi salmoneus! im confused, can u plz tell me wot furs & silk r used for? thx

A: Furs and Silks have no real use in RuneScape other than to sell for a small amount of cash.


Ultralord999
Q: I want to get Saradomin Full Rune, I've checked everywhere and saying that I gotta hope to get it after killing the King Black Dragon, but is there any particular way of getting it?

A: No, there really isn't any particular way to get a clue that leads to a piece of Saradomin armor, it's just by chance that you'll get a clue that eventually leads to a reward such as that.


Kalle Damos
Q: Today I saw someone with a yellow wizards hat,wizard's robe and yellow skirt,I'm just wondering if that it is posible to dye robes and what not,casue I would love green robes ^_^

A: Yellow robes, as well as several other new colors can be bought from the Canafis Clothing shop in a Members world.


Arne Van Eycken
Q: What if i go to crandor and the dragon is killing me, so i teleport...can i redo the quest then, cause the ship is broken?

A: You should be able to get back to the island by boat, but you may need to bring some planks back to the ship in Port Sarim to fix the boat, should it still be broken.


Hajiid
Q: Ok this is the first time I have ever sent a post in for help...but I really need to know this: Is it possible to pay for a membership through your internet service provider. looking forward to hear a reply :P
Hajiid

A: I'm not completely sure if you could do that, but there are a great deal of ways to pay for RuneScape Members, which you can check on the RuneScape website.


Legend of jv
Q: continuing a question from before - u said that the lvls to wear the armor trimmed u require the normal lvl of armor that isnt trimmed yet i still want to know if a certain lvl is required to wear special armor such as zamarok and etc.

A: No, the requirements to wear God Armor is just the same as wearing any other Rune Armor: 40 defense (and I think you need to have done the Dragon Slayer Quest to wear the Plate Mail). The reason I said that before, is because God Armor is just Rune armor with a God trimming on it.
