Talk:Meg/Questions and Answers

No chatter here, just put your questions and the answers you gave, and when you get the reward a week later UPDATE your post with Meg's response. (I edited you guys' answers, keep your stuff all together so we can differ from person to person. If you are CERTAIN an answer is incorrect edit is out in the main page and CROSS it here).


 * Thought the reorg was a good idea & added subheadings with user name. Feel free to delete if you think that is a bad idea Haystacks (talk) 04:33, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Baby squirrel pet question. Answer given: Be patient and use more than one net.

How to enchant a sword with runes. Answer given: Enchanting doesn't work that way.

Seadog's loot question: Answer given: Get a big sturdy bag.

I received a Medium XP lamp (presumption: one correct answer). I think the answer to the baby squirrel pet question was correct and the other two were wrong.

"...Any tips on how to deal with a rune golem?". Answer chosen: "I think your 'friend' may have tricked you".

"What's the best armour to wear while exploring?" Answer chosen: "Something that provides year round protection."

"I heard there's a cup that never runs out of water. I was wondering if I could use that to my advantage" Answer chosen: It could keep you hydrated in the desert.

Result: Medium XP lamp (presumption: one correct answer). I think the answer to the cup of water question was correct and the other two were wrong.

Found the following in the runescape forums (quick-find code 98-99-978-64145750, post by "ScrptdChaos"). I'm reposting here because the poster reports a huge lamp which should mean three correct answers, and this should be the most useful data. However, this is second-hand, so I can't vouch for it. I have however updated the answer list to include the answers below, with the qualifier "allegedly confirmed".


 * Okay, so I went to Lumbridge and I noticed the vast wealth difference between the Duke and his subjects and I just thought 'why?'. I mean its not like he needs all of that wealth. So, I am going to break into the castle and steal from his treasury to give to the poor locals.

Q - Erm...any idea how I would go about doing that?

A - A disquise is always useful

Q - So, I was planning on making a canoe and sailing to some of the wilder places downriver. Tell me, what's the best wood to use?

A - Try Oak, Sturdy and not too expensive

Q - I dont like insescts. Any idea how to protect against them?

A - When in a tent, cover the gaps with netting. Received a Huge Runecrafting Xp lamp and 49,500 gp's.

Last week (2nd-9th)

Q: "Infiltrate the Thieves' Guild"

A: Accept any 'job' offers that the guild offers you.

Q: "I want to bind an elemental to serve me. Any ideas?"

A: Leave that to the Wizards' Tower.

Q: "dealing with an angry mob"

A: Get yourself the homeground advantage.

Result: Large XP Lamp (presumption: 2 correct answers).

Jan 8-15

Q: "Steal from [the Duke of Lumbridge's] treasury to give it to the poor locals..."

A: Take the wealth in small batches over time.

Q: "I'll need to travel through cave networks. Any advice?"

A: Get a mining helmet.

Q: "I want to focus on sword fighting. Any pointers?"

A: Treat the sword as an extension of your arm.

Result: Large XP Lamp.

Haystacks (talk) 06:39, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Jan 16-22

Q: "Infiltrate the Thieves' Guild"

A: Practice pickpocketing on H.A.M members. They deserve it.

Q: (scurvy seadogs) "What's the best way to haul off my loot?"

A: Take the most valuable pieces with you.

Q: "bow and arrow as a sort of grappling hook thing..."

A: You'd be better off using a crossbow.

Result: Large X Lamp. I think the first answer (H.A.M. guild) was probably wrong; I don't know why I didn't select "Accept any 'job' offers the guild offers you."

Haystacks (talk) 03:13, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Jan 23-29

Q: "...baby squirrel pet..."

A: Make sure you have the summoning level to keep it.

Q: "Which god... to follow?"

A: Only you can answer that.

Q: "...cut through undergrowth"

A: A strong machete.

Result: Huge XP lamp.

Next week (Jan 30 - Feb something)

For the next set of answers I tried giving the "best" answer in the page for each question, even though some may be doubtful. All answers are listed as having received perfect adventurers; we'll see how it goes.

Q: Lumbridge goblins.

A: Strike quickly, before they can strike you.

Q: Wood for canoes

A: Try oak, sturdy and not too expensive.

Q: "...bind an elemental..."

A: Use the opposite element to control one.

Nothing special here.

Q: ''I was... erm... working on opening doors that, strictly speaking, I don't have the keys for. Can I pick your 'brain? 'A: Locate alternative entrances.

''Q: I've found a waterfall I need to scale down. What's the best thing to do?'' A: Tie a rope to the top to control your descent.

''Okay, so I wanted to improve my connection to the divine powers and I thought Lumbridge would be a good place to start. Any suggestions?'' There are lots of goblins to get bones from.

''I've found a waterfall I want to scale down. What's the best thing to do?'' Tie a rope to the top to control your descent.

''So, I was planning on making a canoe and sailing to some of the wilder places downriver. Tell me, what's the best wood to use?'' Just use one of the trees at the canoe station.

Result: ''Oh, good Guthix, it was horrible! I barely escaped with my life. I-I must have gotten your advice mixed up, I'm so sorry. (Ironically, I was trying to kill her last week.) Oh, I'm such a fool. I'll do better next time, I really will. Please, don't give up on me - I know I can be a better adventurer. I just need practice. ''(3k gp and a small Thieving lamp.)

''So. Okay. So, don't judge me on this, but I've been having a few problems with the... erm... Well, the chickens. I can't seem to defeat the chickens in Lumbridge. I don't suppose you have any advice do you? ''Just stab them. ("Brilliant!")

''What's the best armour to wear while exploring? ''Something that provides all-round protection.

''I'll need to travel through cave networks. Any advice? ''Get a mining helmet.

Result: That did not go as well as expected. I'm sorry but I couldn't get the loot that I intended. (14,940 coins and a medium Slayer lamp.)

''So. Okay. So, don't judge me on this, but I've been having a few problems dealing with the...erm... Well, the chickens. I can't seem to defeat the chickens in Lumbridge.' I don't suppose you have any advice do you?'' Strike quickly. It gets it over with faster.'''

I was wondering how I fight a pirate with a hook. Carefully - treat the hook as a weapon

''Okay, so I have a problem. Um. I set up a series of magical traps and... Locked myself out of my own house. Any suggestions? 'Study them carefully. It'll come back to you.'''

Result: ''Oh, wow! I can't believe how amazing that was. Nothing went wrong. I didn't fall over my feet - not that I do that much - and no one threw rocks at me or anything like that. I even found some amazing treasure. ''(92,832 coins and a huge prayer lamp.)

''Well, I've been planning an expedition into the heart of the Lumbridge swamps, as a friend of mine told me that he's found a cavern full of something called a 'rune golem'. It only cost me 1000 gold - a bargain! Do you have any tips on how to deal with a rune golem?'' You need to find better friends.

Q: Well, I've been planning an expedition into the heart of the Lumbridge swamps, as a friend of mine told me that he's found a cavern full of something called a 'rune golem'. It only cost me 1000 gold - a bargain! Do you have any tips on how to deal with a rune golem?

Q: I want to bind an elemental to serve me. Any ideas? Q: I want to train an animal to help me. What would you recommend? That did not go as well as I expected. I'm sorry, but I wasn't able to get the loot that I intended to. Here's what I did find, though. I'll do better next time. (Medium XP lamp - slayer & 16279 gp)

Week5 (2nd-9th)

Questions: Chickens, canoes, waterfalls.

Answers: Throw a rock at them, use oak, tie a rope to the top.

Result: "Oh, it was horrible, I barely escaped with my life! I must have got your advice all mixed up" with a small XP lamp. [Presumably means all three answers were wrong]

Comment: Those three answers are all listed as the only possible corect answer in their respective sections in the article, and yet all three of them appear to be incorrect. I don't know what to make of it. I haven't edited the article because I don't know why the answers are the only one listed, as if the others have been ruled out? Clokwerk o (talk) 03:14, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Use oak is listed as having alternate answers. I know because I added that (based on hearsay data) but I *don't* delete answers without clear evidence that they are wrong. At this point I wonder if either our data is very bad (read: sloppy) or there's some randomness (so that you can give Meg the right answers and still get an imperfect result, or vice versa. In any case, you should feel free to add any answers that you have evidence can give a good result. I think people should be more careful about deleting answers - it would be better to add a note like '(bad result)' or '(small lamp)' after an answer that you doubt.Haystacks (talk) 04:02, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Result: small lamp. Stewbasic (talk) 06:01, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * "technique called runecrafting" => kill goblins for a talisman
 * "cup that never runs out of water" => keep you hydrated in the desert
 * "bind an elemental" => use demonic magic

I just did the Rune golem one, the wiki answers as 00:25 am UTC were:

You need to find better friends.

I think your "friend" may have tricked you

Tread carefully. It might be a trap.

And the answer meg gave me were:

Bring a light source.

Use fire, golens hate fire.

Foud up your shopping list and put it into the golen's head.

I think your friend may have tricked you.

The last one is the only answer to appear in both lists, so i am editing that one.
