Demon Flash Mobs spawns
Hey, we really only do a page of spawns for temporary events that will be there for the entire time across all worlds, EG Easter egg hunt. Demon Flash Mobs are here to stay, and aren't guaranteed to stay for the full hour. As for where, Demon_Flash_Mob lists all the locations, and I suspect it's a different location for each world. 01:14, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of that. When hunting Demon Flash Mobs, listing exact spawn times somewhere is crucial. I thought Wikia would be a good palce to get a community-editable list going. At the moment, people are using RS FC's with random calls. We really need some web site to do that. If Wikia doesn't allow such a list, I guess we'll have to use Google Docs or something. Thingummywut (talk) 01:30, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * It is impractical to have a page that would have to be updated over 100 times every hour that would be outdated within a short time on a permanent basis. Better to organise this sort of thing at a local level IE ingame fcs rather than have a page that is for most of the time outdated  01:33, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair point. In-game FCs are very poor for getting a good list of spawns propagated to a mass of players. I'll try to find a way to set up an easily accessible IRC channel for spawns. Thingummywut (talk) 01:37, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Scan clues page
Hey thanks for all the locations you've been adding to the page, it's really great to have someone helping out with this. It would be really helpful if you could also put the locations onto the maps on the page. You can do this by searching for the maps (they're all called Map:(Place name) scan) and editing them there. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Thanks, 15:33, November 26, 2014 (UTC)

Scans maps
Hey, thanks for continuing to add locations to this page and for learning to add them as symbols on the maps. I'm just leaving this message to explain properly what the blue "approx" symbols is for. Some locations have this if their in-game image was retaken and we weren't sure that the new image showed the exact right spot (some of the areas changed considerably since the images were last taken). More often now, the approx symbol is used when we don't have an in-game image for a location.

If we don't have an in-game image, then we've been using the approx symbol on the map and adding a text description of the location to the "Other possible locations" section for the area which is beneath the in-game images of locations. We them make the symbol for these locations link to "Other possible locations which just takes the viewer to all the text descriptions. Also, the title for these images should be the same as the text description on the scans article.

Please try and stick to doing this when you're adding locations without in-game images. Alternatively I don't mind explaining how to take the in game images, just leave me a talk page message if that's something you'd be interested in.

Thanks, 08:13, March 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll start using the "other possible locations" space. I just felt it's a bit silly to list the locations there just because momentarily they don't have a picture. I know well enough how to take, edit and add pictures but to be honest, I just can't be bothered. Just adding the info about missing clues is slowing my clues down considerably; if I had to start taking pictures too, I probably wouldn't be adding the clues on Wikia at all.

POP Clue voyage region
The region for those POP clue voyages is determined mostly by difficulty and voyage length. Though, if you want, you could also determine it by crew XP earnt. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 08:06, May 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * This is interesting, the other The Scythe special effect voyages list "2" as the quantity instead of 1. A Terracotta Merchant should only influence the amount once there are at least 3 (3*133% = ~4), while a Jade Merchant would need at least 4 before an additional one is given. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 13:23, June 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I found it interesting too. I sent this voyage without a merchant for no particular reason. It could be set to reward like 1.8 kegs by default or something to make it work like this. I'll continue to experiment with and without merchants. Also before when I've received 2 as a reward, the voyage details still listed only 1. Thingummywut (talk) 13:30, June 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * The amounts listed on the voyages page should be the amount specified in the Voyage detail screen; not the actual amount received (as stuff may influence that). Tho if the voyage details and the result without any bonuses doesn't match up, I'd make a bug report about it. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 13:50, June 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Just confirmed that the Whaler's clue voyage really does give 2 bottles as a reward, even without the merchant. I'll add a note that voyage details list only one, though. Thingummywut (talk) 13:07, June 23, 2015 (UTC)

Also, the promotion seems to be the same as the first time it appeared. --Jlun2 (talk) 04:52, September 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well regardless if they do or don't exist, not sure how to check now since I'm not going to buy 100+ spins just to test and the promo is almost over. :| --Jlun2 (talk) 06:49, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

Daniel
Hey, I noticed that you added that you saw an Acheron mammoth called Daniel to the page. Is it possible that this is an elite version of the mammoth? If it is, it should have its own page :) 13:41, November 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * Perfectly possible. Its combat level and drops were similar to other mammoths I killed, though. Only the name seemed different. No chat messages popped up either. Thingummywut (talk) 13:44, November 23, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Hidden update
Hi,

Yes it does indeed include the interface of won rewards. It is also the text used when the item is hovered over in the TH promo interface. In this specific case the text changed used to be: "2h and 1h versions of the sword unlocked as a comsetic override." And was changed to: "2h and 1h versions of the sword unlocked as a cosmetic override."

Note the typo fix in the word "Cosmetic", which was not mentioned in the patch notes.

Re:Loot Piñata
Yup, I'm sure you can get luchador masks as a direct reward as well, as I received El Defensor directly from looting a piñata (another player's, if that is relevant). It is a bit weird that they reward both the token and luchador masks, but I can confirm that it is possible. Unfortunately I cannot prove it with a screenshot or anything, as I got the reward yesterday and I didn't think making a screenshot would be necessary. 09:11, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

wounded snake locations
How did you come up with 10 locations? --Jlun2 (talk) 01:08, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

Clue locations moving
We noticed a few years ago when tracking the Penguin Hide and Seek/Spawn locations that a lot of the coordinates had shifted a few degrees around one day. We determined that Jagex changed a little of the math used for determining which coordinate a map grid was actually on. I'm not sure if that change is what's also affecting the Treasure Trail coordinate pictures, or if it's just simply human error, but we still check that our coordinates are up-to-date for penguins because of that past event. If you're inclined to tracking a few clue locations in the future, the Developer coordinates and Calculator:Coordinates might be of interest to you. — Heaven Sent (talk) 21:20, March 9, 2016 (UTC)

Slayer XP
Thanks for doing this! It's great to have accurate Slayer XP values so we can come closer to determining a general formula for Slayer XP given level and lifepoints. 11:39, March 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * Have you looked at User:Cook Me Plox/Bestiary Project? I changed a couple things on Monkey Zombie. 12:02, March 15, 2016 (UTC)

Module:Disassemble/data
Please don't add aliases for single items. You've inflated the template pointlessly and for what? "Saradomin sword" is not a valid alias. Just use the basic category names in templates on those pages. 17:41, March 17, 2016 (UTC)

Ranges
If a drop comes in quantities of "85-100", and you receive a drop of 82, please just extend the lower limit of the range. 14:07, April 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * For here, it's very obvious that it's a range. Use separate ranges when it makes sense for there to be 2 separate ranges. An example of this is the coin drops on Ice strykewyrm. For values less than 1000, the only two values you'll ever see are 200 and 660. For higher values, we've seen random numbers between 4400 and 8000, but we haven't necessarily seen them all. It would take too much time and effort. thinking about it logically, it makes sense to list that as a range.
 * Another personal favorite of mine is the coins drop from Caskets. The exact formula for the quantities is in the trivia.
 * As for "16-100", I assume that's about dwarf weeds? I actually just removed that, because as far as I can tell, he never drops that many. I think that was likely a bad assumption based on the lantadyme drops. However, if I'm wrong (and I may be, I only have just over 100 kills), I think dwarf weeds would be a logical place to include a separate range. If you've actually seen a dwarf weed drop that high, then it's likely they're separate drops that may even warrant separate drops lines.
 * As a general rule of thumb, if you have several values close together, like say, 14;16;17;19;20, it's logical to assume that the values 15 and 18 are in there as well, and you should list it as a range. 14:24, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

Yay cape rack
Nice work -- I'm glad somebody finally did that. 09:51, April 13, 2016 (UTC)

Discord
You appear to have a ghost account logged into our discord server. The next time you come on, can you ping an admin and ask them to kick the other version of you? 11:45, May 15, 2016 (UTC)

Ravensworn
This edit. Yup, that's just for players with the Ravensworn title unlocked. 11:26, May 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Mods Raven and Shauny showed both on the stream last tuesday, link here.

meg xp lamp
Meg's xp lamp is not a new item ID. It needs to be redirected to a different article, because it was a reused asset. 19:11, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

I think I made my stance clear? 07:48, June 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * Commas are overused, yes, but some of the ones you removed were necessary. I've just gone through the article and fixed up a whole load of things, not just commas, as it was overall rather badly written in places. 08:15, June 21, 2016 (UTC)

Hidden updates
Hey, please don't forget to use perfect tense when adding hidden updates. :) 11:52, July 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yep, that's the consensus for Hidden updates. Feel free to start a discussion to change that, though. 17:18, July 5, 2016 (UTC)

I've tagged Shauny in a tweet asking him to double check the lyrics, so he may be able to correct any mistakes, if there are any. 09:48, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
