Admin Nomination
I've nominated you for adminship since you're so helpful. :) If you want to accept this nomination, then go to RuneScapeWiki:Requests for adminship and say so. When a few people have voted yes, hopefully Merovingian will come on and give you sysop.

Just wanted to let you know, Oddlyoko 17:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Articles that need work
I have found here two articles that need to be fixed up. Character Guide - needs to have guides for non-combat players. Money Making Guide - needs more ways tio make money. Please look at my user page for more articles that may need a bit of help. -- Carralpha

RuneScape: A Combat-Based Game?
What do you think? I think (and all of my friends think) that RuneScape is a game where you can choose your own path in a fantasy world. I mean, I'm a cook, not a level 100 noob-racist. The latest tip.it times article says that RuneScape is "nothing more than a combat-based game" and that the only purpose of the Hunter skill is so high-levelled players can relax between lesser demons. I don't like it. This is because I'm not just against people who hate noobs, but people who are against people who train in non-combat skills. That is why I have said that the Character Guide is a bad article. I am bringing this up because I know RuneScape wiki gets quite a bit of information from this site. -- Carralpha
 * I barely look at tip.it now except for some help on co-ordinate clues very occasionally. I have no experience of playing a level 3 pure skiller myself, though I know several and sort of know how hard it is - you can't even enchant the recoil rings you make.  Combat comprises a large section of the game but is by no means the whole game.  However, some form of combat is hard to avoid, I think that most skill-pures are an extreme form of pure, and one that is much harder to play than one with pking stats.  If you think the article is bad, rewrite it!  I am a skills person myself, but combat is kind of fun too.  Yes, there is a horrible anti-newbie mentality, caused in the main by the fact that runescape is populated by 13 year olds with a chip on their shoulder.  There's not a lot I can do about that except try and keep the articles I write readable and un-biased as far as it is possible to be --Eucarya 17:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Confused
What are the drop logs for? I moved the first one I saw yto a subpage of your user: page, but then I saw a category with three of them, the one I moved included... What are these logs for? If you're logging them for how often drops occur, then keep them on your subpages. If you're making a log that players can collectively add onto, then I suggest a better way of organizing this. Oddlyoko 18:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

The idea was to get proper drop frequencies. With enough data these could be calculated. --Eucarya 18:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, then maybe these logs would be better off in the corresponding monsters' subpages. I'll move them to (monster)/(monster) Drop Log. Oddlyoko 18:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Sysop status
You've been granted sysop status. :) If you want to know the exact time of sysop-ing so you can put up a "brag-line" on your profile, it's 00:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC). Happy editing!

Obsolete template
Oops, sorry. I'm monitoring conversation on Wikipedia where it was merged from, and I figured that the template was leftover from before the merge. I suppose we should quickly shift relevant information from Prayer (RuneScape) to Prayer and delete the rest. Hyenaste talk 21:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

KoL
I also play, and the only reason I searched for a Runescape wiki is because of how incredibly useful and in-depth KoL's is. What's your KoL name?

--Wowbagger421 20:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Cool. I'm just Wowbagger there if you ever want to look me up. --68.14.134.106 01:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Admin reading
I'm dropping this link and message on every sysop's talk page, just to make sure everyone's read it. If you haven't, please do, and if you have, it wouldn't be a bad idea to read over it again. Oddlyoko 20:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Heroes Guild
I could have sworn I wrote a Heroes' Guild article a few days ago...did you delete it, perchance? Shadowdancer 19:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No, haven't seen one. I only wrote it up cos it was in Community Portal requests.  Maybe yours has a different spelling?
 * It's been abducted. Shadowdancer 19:07, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've just found yours lol - Heroes' Guild and Heroes Guild. I'll have a look at merging them together.--Eucarya 19:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * All merged ok and redirects done.

Jumping down throats...
Do not single me out. I'm the one who has to deal with other persons raising Cain when I make an edit. Shadowdancer 20:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I know, and you are doing fantastic work for this wiki. But, you're treating this place like your own personal play-pen where you are free to do whatever you like.  Try to remember this is a pseudo-democracy.  I really didn't want to delete my drop logs, but the votes were against me so they're gone.

Reverting an edit is a pretty major thing (except in cases of vandalism), I would say contact the person first, explain the situation (e.g. there are lots of types of member gems, placing shilo in a category of its' own is not a good idea because of x reason and y reason), and see what they say. Put something on the talk page too because a few people will see it in 'Recent Changes'. I don't want to see huge fights breaking out over page deletions or reverts because that's what makes people leave. And frankly, we need as much content and therefore contributors as we can get at the moment, just look at the sparse quest lists to see what I mean.

Also remember that not everyone is as good an editor as you, and we may even have people editing where english is their second language. Be gentle with punctuation and grammatical errors, even image placement and bugged categories just need to be fixed without causing offence.

I know you're not the only one biting back, and there are others too, so I apologise for singling you out.

Cheers --Eucarya 20:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Eucarya, that speech was a work of art. :O Oddlyoko 20:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Like hell I treat this place like my personal pigpen.

Have fun without me.

Desert treasure
lol ok, I was just changing Magic Log to Magic Logs. Sorry if I gave you the infamous "This page has been edited since you last viewed it..." message. Good luck! -- Couchpotato99 20:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's going slow, but it'll look pretty when I'm done, getting the images was like hard work --Eucarya 20:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey I assume you've done Desert Treasure, so if you switch to Ancient Magicks could you take a screenshot of the spellbook (while you have runes so that the spell icons are lit up) and upload it? We have images for the basic and Lunar spellbooks, but not for the Ancient Magicks. Thanks if you do so! -- Couchpotato99 22:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I have done desert treasure, but not recently, and I can't get the final spell lit-up until I get another magic level, like 500k exp away. All the pics from desert treasure are mostly me and other victims friends who agreed to be photographed whilst in mortal danger.  I'll do it when I get the magic level though =)
 * Any luck with that elusive last spell yet? -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  23:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, I was gonna get a spell-lit-up-image wasn't i? I'll do it tomorrow, I have 92 magic now so it won't be a problem.

No Level 3 Imp?
Oh really? What might this be then? -- Couchpotato99 15:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That would be a Tip.it bestiary page on the Imp.


 * Prove its accuracy, find in-game an imp that is level 3. Vimescarrot 15:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. -- Couchpotato99 15:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I apologise if I'm wrong in advance! I've never seen a level 3 imp, yet they may have been level 3 on classic?  Perhaps where the tip.it info comes from? --Eucarya 15:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The imp is summoned by Wizard Grayzag in the Wizards' Tower, rather than found "wild", hence its darker colouring and possibly diffferent level. I know of the imp, just not what level it is. Vimescarrot 15:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Aaah, does it have the same drops?
 * According to the Tippy article, all it drops is Ashes. so no. Vimescarrot 15:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Went to check... Greyzag is no longer attackable, so the level 3 Imps don't get summoned any more. Ace of Risk 16:19, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ace is right. He doesn't summon imps anymore, even though he's still known as a "master of imps".--Richard 16:20, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * But were the imps level 3 in the past? If so, maybe we should have an article on them saying they no longer exist?
 * Hi. I know the truth:


 * Imps were level 5 on RSC. They had no special abilities, except being able to retreat far.


 * Regular Imps are level 2 on RS2.


 * The dark red imps indeed exist only on RS2, and were level 3. They were summoned by Wizard Grayzag if you attacked him on RS2.  He was level 42 I believe.  You can no longer kill him, making the red Imps extinct. Dtm142 00:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Help
Is there any chance you can help me reason with shadowdancer? He has apparently declared martial law by threatening to treat any edits to a page as vandalism and canceling a vote by saying that he resolved the issue himself. He will not listen to anything I say and will not accept any edits I make. Please help. -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  22:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * A few things:


 * You make really idiotic edits, I'm sorry to say it like this but it's true. You say you want to be "granular" but in fact you want to be ridiculously anal retentive.
 * You like to try to get me annoyed with you. I've been patient but it is you who has the whole "my way or the highway" attitude.
 * You have demonstrated a rather large lack of knowledge about RuneScape as a whole with your edits.
 * Your idea of resolving things is to say "okay choose one of the two (ridiculous) edits I've made". The Monk robes page doesn't need to be in two pieces and it doesn't need an info box.  The robes give +6 and +5 to Prayer, that is IT.

Images
In the future, as you upload images, could you please link to the relevent category by putting a link in the comments field? It makes the image easier to find, and saves the trouble of categorising them after they have been uploaded. If you don't know what categories there are for images, check Category:Images. In the past couple days, I went through the images and categorized around 200 (most uploaded by you and Richard), and it would be nice not to have to do that again :P.

Voting
I saw your vote on Forum:Granularity policy?. While I'm glad someone finally voted, how about you put your vote in the voting section? :P Makes things easier to find and compare. -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  20:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
 * lol, didn't see the voting section hold on --Eucarya 20:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Spell images
The image in the Spell infobox was intended to be for the image found in one's spellbook, not for the actual spell-casting image itself. Images of the spell-casting can go in the article, outside of the infobox. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 15:28, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

This may seem somewhat strange, but...could you log in to the forums when you see this message and bump my thread "TzHaar Translated"?

missing admin box thingy...
It says your an admin on the catagories bit at the bottom of your userpage, but I dont see the "this user is an admin" box...is it hiding behind something or did you remove it? Marcus Gord 11:22, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Smithing 99
I noticed you have 99 smithing, (this is bob2006ty not logged in, you answered my riddle thingy and I looked you up.) anyway I wanted to know how you got to 99, was it gold ore and goldsmith gauntlets or mithril etc.

Im 63 smithing and thought of getting 99 smith, so I wondered if you had any advice for me, and what powersmithing might be, best locations etc.

Oh yeah one last thing, did you get al the stuff yourself or buy it? If so how much will it cost me-(plz guesstimate) my runescape username is runestorm333 contact if you like.


 * I mostly did gold ore with the goldsmiths gauntlets. I bought at least 95% of all my ore.  Naturally, this is very expensive - it cost me somewhere between 50 and 80 million to get to 99 - but it may cost you more - I sold most of my gold bars initially 300 each, but this is almost impossible now that you can change your gauntlets, everyone does gold now.  Later, I was lucky enough to find people that bought all the gold bars I could produce for 100 coins each.  Though I did quite a considerable amount of rune smithing, it is only slightly profitable under normal circumstances, though new updates (for me - crossbows and warhammers for emote clues) can sometimes result in fast and sizeable profits.

Note that gold isn't all that great exp (though it's pretty nice). If you could get the suppliers, buying mithril or adamant bars in bulk, making plates and alching would be around the same cost/xp (well, sort of, talk to me if you want to go down this route), and significantly faster experience. However, it'll be hard to get the suppliers for this wihtout going very overbudget. -- Eucarya Talk 15:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Ring of wealth
I found it interesting that you don't use a ring of wealth. Do you not believe in them? Two out of my three d drops have been when I wasn't wearing one, so I'm not sure how I feel about them myself. --Wowbagger421 22:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I think ring of wealth only affects "second dice roll" type of drops. For example, if you were creating a new monster you'd say code it as Herb 20, Gem 5, Bronze longsword 3, Chaos runes 3, Air runes 6, etc... The engine then just packages this into a set of probabilities.

Now only "Herb" and "Gem" would involve a "second dice roll" - so you kill the monster, the drop selected is "Gem". Now then, the engine then has a second dice roll to determine the "quality" of that gem. Ring of wealth merely improves the odds on what type. In this specific example, "Gem", there's not just sapphire, emerald, ruby and diamond. In addition to this there's Dragon spear, Dragon half shield, and Half of a key. We know this because anything that drops gems can also drop those items. What your ring of wealth does is improve the chances of getting a "better" result on the second dice roll. It seriously doubt it will improve the chances of getting, say, a Dragon medium helmet, or any other Dragon armour item, and will probably not affect the rate that the unique slayer drops such as Rune boots or Granite mauls drop.

The way that the ring of wealth works was hinted at in one of the letters pages. -- Eucarya Talk 08:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Now then, whether there is "Other" second rolls happening I don't know (and if they are, ring of wealth helps). I suspect talismans are a second dice roll, but it is pure guesswork.
