Sal's Realm of RuneScape
October-November 2005 Q&A's

All of these Q&A's are from October through November 2005.

Q: It says in your smithing guide that you have a 50% chance of smelting the iron ores into iron bars.If the higher your smithing level is will you have a higher percentage of making the iron ore into and iron bar?By the way I love your site it's awsome!

A: No, you'll always have a 50% chance of smelting the ores, regardless of your level. It doesn't really matter what level you are; a level 99 will have the same chance of smelting the ores as a level 40.

Q: Hi Sal! Anyways, in the quest Hero's Quest, do you really need 25 herblore? Or can a friend trade the Blamish Snail slime to me? Please reply A.S.A.P!!!

A: Unfortunately, Blamish Slime isn't tradeable, so you'll need 25 Herblore to make it for yourself.

Q: hi salmoneus my question is , were can i get black and white flowers with mithril seeds? wich place , is it right that if i plant 1 in wild it grow color black?

A: You can plant Mithril Seeds anywhere and they'll grow. Black and White flowers are the rarest kinds that you can get, but there isn't any particular place to plant them. It's pretty much based on luck.


Bryan
Q: Hi I would like to know all the quests that give you magic skill ty.

A: Check out the Quest Experience Guide in the Tips and guides section of the site for a full listing of quests and their experience rewards.


Magma Armor0
Q: Can wilderness capes be worn by non-members?

A: No, Wilderness Capes are only available to Members.

Q: Hi sal , ur site rox
anyways , it may be silly to hear from a lvl 81 , but can an abbysal demon be killed without 85 slayer , or even get hurt if u try to?

A: You actually need to have 85 Slayer or higher before being able to take on Abyssal Demons, as you won't be able to hurt them without a high enough Slayer skill.


Mr X
Q: sal your site cool 'n' all but u never answer my questions id like to know how do i enter glacial's tomb to fight the fire giants???

A: You must be referring to Glarial's Tomb, from the Waterfall Quest. That guide will explain all about the tomb, and the Waterfall, where you'll find the fire giants.


A-Brain18
Q: Help! I completed the Waterfall quest, but now i can't get back in the waterfall to fight fire giants! Do i need to get the amulet again? Thanks in advance. P.S. Your website rocks!

A: Yes, you need to be wearing Glarial's Amulet each time you enter the tomb--otherwise the cliff will collapse and you'll be washed away down the river.


Idj3
Q: Hey, great site, it helped a lot with the quests =). My computer has been failing lately and i was thinking of crashing it. Will crashing it affect my runescape account??

A: It sounds like you mean that you want to reformat your hard drive or reload Windows. This won't affect your RuneScape account, as your character's file is stored on the RuneScape servers, rather than your computer.


Ken_Fox1
Q: Hey Sal. I have a question about your barrows guide. I was wondering what you get after you beat one of the brothers and look in their coffen but it doesn't have that tunnel. Do you get your reward only when you search that chest in the final part of barrows, or can you get it from just the coffen in one of the brother's mounds after you kill one?

A: You need to get to the final part of the Barrows in order to get a reward. The more brothers you kill, the better the chance of getting a good reward.


Hawky Bzn
Q: Sal, u say the reason u dont want to buy zammy full, is because it doesnt give extra protection from rune, but u have 2 santa hats! (they dont give any stats) why do you change ur mind about this item?

A: Well, I've just never had a reason to buy any Zamorak armor (because of the reason you mentioned). I've had my Santa Hat since the Christmas drop in 2002, and it's my favorite item in RuneScape, so I wear it just about everywhere I go. :-)


Bigman
Q: Hey Sal i no that ppl probably mention that ur website is great so im not goin to mention. My question is where do u get a Abysal Whip. Im LVL 34 member so this answer doesnt have to come in a hurry. Also can u tell me what LVL is the best to get the whip and what should i bring. Thank You. Plz Answer in a timely manner LOL !!!

A: You can get Abyssal Whips from Abyssal Demons, which are Slayer monsters which you can read more about in the Slayer guide. You need level 85 Slayer to kill them, and you should be a decent combat level to last long enough to get one of these rare drops. I'd suggest bringing plenty of food and the best armor that you can.


Pur H0t Ch1c
Q: HEY Sal! Great site! I was wondering...what is better for strength. Power amy or str amy. Some people say power, other say str. I realise i hit higher with str amy. Is this coincidence??? plz answer

A: Well, Strength amulets add slightly more of a Strength bonus than Power amulets do, but Power amulets also add bonuses to attack, defense and prayer. Check the Magic guide for specific stats for the different amulets.

Q: If we are in the Duel Arena and die, will we keep all our things if we don't stake them? Also, if noone stakes, how can people get things?

A: Yes, you'll keep all of your equipment and items if you die in the duel arena. The only way to win items from a match is if your opponent stakes items and loses.


Testpilot123
Q: Do any monsters drop law runes because players have been telling me that by killing hob goblins they drop laws.

A: Lots of monsters drop Law Runes, including Ice Warriors, Hobgoblins, Giants, Lesser Demons and even Dark Wizards, just to name a few.


Glen
Q: i now this mught sound noobesh lol but um i was killing the last brother in barrows and i had ring of life on incase i died and in wiacthi did but ithought ring of life saved you be fore you die?

A: Well it's supposed to, but only if your hitpoints drop below 10%. So if you had 60 hitpoints, you would only be teleported once you reach 5 hitpoints and you wouldn't be teleported if you had 7. So if you had 7 hitpoints remaining and then got hit for 7, you would die rather than get teleported.


Skull Dude44
Q: Hey Sal,
You didn't answer my question last time, so I'll ask it again. Oh by the way, YOUR SITE ROCKS (I even made it my home page for my computer)!!!!!!!Oh yea the question, I heard about a soon-to-come carpentry skill, is this true? If it is what is it for making houses, dressers, tables, or all of them? Also is it for members or non-members? When should it come out? could you please just fill me out on the information about it? And I just got to the point were I can weild rune (yay woo hoo!) which is better rune two-handled sword, rune scimatar, or rune battle axe and what are the normal prices for them?
Thanks For All Your Time,
Skull Dude44

A: Yes, there's actually a Carpentry skill planned to be released sometime soon. It was planned to be released sometime this month (December), but it will probably be released sometime in 2006. There haven't been many details on what will be involved when training the skill, but most likely you'll be able to build furniture for a Player Owned House, which will most likely be released around the same time as the skill.
For item prices, I'd suggest looking at the price guide on the forums.


Redfand145
Q: Hi Sal, your website is soo cool and i was also wondering if you could help me in runescape. My question is: How do you get zamorak robes in Runescape? Please answer this question since you werent able to answer my other one.

A: You can get Zamorak robes from Necromancers, found in the necromancer tower southeast of Ardougne.


Ryanboyd
Q: I love you site!!!my freind told me that you can get a nome ball by scorring 5 goals then go ask him for a ball and then walk out plz se if this is true and I love you site.

A: Yes, you just need to win a game of Gnomeball, and then you can keep the ball. Check out the Toys guide for more info.


timmythabest
Q: Hey, I must tell I really like your site, and while I was looking around I wondered if you can use more than one strength potion a time. And just one thing, I'm a none-member and with some things it's not very clear if and object can be obtained or woren by none-members. For the rest... This site rocks!

A: You can drink as many potions as you want, but they won't increase your strength any more than the first one did, as the effects won't compound.
Members items can't be obtained by freeplayers (unless you were a member at one point and cancelled your membership). You'll be unable to wear or use them unless you're a member.


Geo
Q: Hey sal, my question is you know how barrows armor decay after 15 hours? does it count when you have it on and your not fighting? thanks sal.
p.s your site rocks! :)

A: No, it will only decay while you're fighting, so you'll have about 15 hours of combat time before it is fully decayed and needs repairing. You'll also know how fr along the decay has gone, as you'll see a number next to the item's name indicating the status (100 is the best, 75, 50, 25, and 0 when it's fully decayed).


Noname
Q: What would be the worse thing that could happen if someone reports you? Can you get out of the panishment?

A: It depends on what you've been reported for. You could be muted for a smaller punishment, suspended or temporarily banned for a worse 'crime', or permanantly banned. If you didn't do anything, you probably have nothing to worry about, but you can still request a ban appeal from their website if you can explain what happened.


Darksamus8
Q: Fantastic site my friend, excellent work! You know all those screenshots you take? Well, how extactly do you take them? My "friend" know show but he won't tell me!

A: Be sure to check out the Screenshot Guide for an entire step-by-step walkthrough on taking screenshots for both a PC and Mac.


Virtual Graffiti
Q: I think that you have the best knowlage of Runescape so you should be able to help.
I just now found out that there is a dragon wc axe, but where do I get it and how much does it cost?

A: You can get a Dragon Woodcutting Axe as a rare drop from the new Dagganoth Kings located on Waterbirth Island.


Joe Lessner
Q: Ive wrote to you b4 in april of '05 and i was wondering, in the waterfall quest, why do you rate it as a three box quest? i beat it in one day, piece of cake! I wasnt a high lvl, i was only lvl 66. I would look more into the quests and base them on high lvled members not low leveled nonmembers ok? Thx, ill be writin back in a bit. SUBMIT THIS!

A: There are a variety of things that I look int owhen rating the quests. I base the ratings on the length of the quests, the puzzles you might find and monsters you'll need to fight.


Ired 3
Q: sal great site
anyway i no i will start 2 bug u with all my Qs buti can't get music to play on runescape is it because my internet thing (mozilla firefox) doesnt like it or is their a differnt reason?
best ired 3

A: It's actually a problem with Firefox and how it handles the RuneScape music. The only suggestion that I can make is to play using Internet Explorer or the official RuneScape client if you wish to listen to music.


Rune Guy
Q: Hey Sal,are autominers trustable to download? Will they give me a virus? PLz reply

A: I'd highly suggest AGAINST downloading any outside programs related to RuneScape such as autominers, "stat-changers" or other programs that "auto." They will most likely contain viruses or trojans and attempt to steal your RuneScape password, or even mess your computer up! And even if they do work (which most don't), you will probably be banned for using a macro program, since Jagex can detect such programs.


Cast
Q: today, when i was mining coal, someone keep shouting those offensive language. but when i tried to report him, i misclicked "bug abuse". <br> now i am afraid i will get banned. what do i do?

A: You don't have anything to worry about, as they will see that the other player is using offensive language and they will probably take action against him anyways. They'll undertand that you jus taccidentally mis-clicked when reporting the player.
