A new Rare Item In Runescape Classic !

Hey guys, a brief post today to bring some energy into the runescape classic community. With RSC being closed for new registrations, there will be an upcoming rare item that will boom in value within the game. The item is not new since rsc has not really been updated since 2003. Can you guess what it is? Think for a second...

If you guessed the accuracy amulet, then you are right! There is only one possible way of obtaining an accuracy amulet, and this is by completing the witch's potion quest. In runescape classic, few people are willing to do the quest, and the same goes for any other quest giving magic experience for that matter (this is because it makes stakers and wilderness pkers gain unwanted combat levels, regardless of their stats).

So in a way, it is a rare item, or to the least semi-rare. If you can remember, in rs2 accuracy amulets were worth a steady 10k gold each on the grand exchange. But that value really shot up as soon as groups of people (merchanters) created demand for this item. 

Take a look at this graph and see what happened to amulets of accuracy on the 18th of october 2010

Amulet of Accuracy

On the 18th oct. in '10 , Jagex pulled the trigger on this item. They made the item buyable (even after you complete the quest) from wizard migog for 5'000 gp. But that's not where I want to get to.

The point is that when there's a very limited supply, prices will most certainly go up as soon as an individual, or group of individuals buy this item.

Now, in rsc, the conditions for this item to drastically climp up in price are even more ideal. First, rsc is much more stable than rs2 (there are no updates). Second, few people would be willing to complete the Imp Catcher quest. Thirdly - and another factor that adds a lot to this - is that no more accounts can be created after the the 29th of september 2011 (In one week as of writing this).

How to Profit from this new Rare

If you want to profit from this, I have a few tips for you; get your friends who signed up for rsc (but that don't play anymore) to do the quest. All that the imp catcher quest requires is for you to go speak to wizard migog and offer the following 

• : one black bead, one white bead, one yellow bead, and on red bead.

These are dropped by level 3 imps. Imps are located mostly everywhere on the map, but are mostly found in karamja. A good trick would be to stack up a lot of these, and then offer them to friends or people you don't know plus some money (to be determined by you depending on the situation) and have the player trade you.

I am really looking forward to see how the value of this item fluctuates in the future. My prediction is that amulets of accuracy will be worth around 750k to 1 million within one year of rsc closing to the public. Let me know what you plan on doing after reading this,

Quick Start Guide To Rs Classic / RSC

So Runescape Classic has started again, and now it seems it will be for the last time. Let's make it fun. In this quick start guide I'll adress 3 questions; How to make money, What type of account you should make and lastly a few pointers.

How To Make Money

There are a couple of good ways of making money that I know of, with combat being the most effective by far. You can kill unicorns for their unicorn horns, they are worth 1k each. You may kill all sorts of monsters for a little money. I have not played rsc for long enough to tell you the best places. A good reasoning thought would be to think about monsters that and their drops in runescape 2, they will often have the same drops  or similar drops. Though The best reason to kill npc's for money is that you do two things in same time; getting combat up and  building your stack.

Staking is also another profitable way to make money, and it works great with making gold via killing npcs, since you will need to train combat. You can win a lot as well as loose a lot but staking can be really fun.

You can also merchant, which works well with staking. Most people hang out, trade and stake in draynor. It is like the equivalent of the world  1 grand exchange.

You may also fish, mine, and more but they are of a more boring order. Well at least from my perspective. Another skill that makes a lot of money is herblaw. You can make super potion sets at the cost of 10k gold pieces and sell them retail at 100k each, or sell them in bulk for around 50k each.

What Type of Account/Fighter to Make

Be weary than in RSC, Magic levels your combat level just like prayer does. Every 8 magic levels equal one combat level, no matter what your other levels are. Note that a lot of people stake with magic off. In RSC, magic is very powerfull. Sometimes you see can see mages around combat 40-50 stake against maxed fighters that are level 110 or so. You may also want to stay one prayer since most people stake with prayer ticked off.

You may also make a 1 defence pure. They are fun and are quite good stakers even against mains or tanks. They can be very good for player-killing as well since their low combat level and high offensive stats give them the best chance to 3-hit their opponent. Some people choose 10 defence for the fancy black armor, but I prefer not having that, since you will be limited to always wearing that.

Another good option would be to make a 40 defence "pure". At 40 defence, it becomes easier to train. You can afk train for 5 minutes on giants, spiders, hobgoblins and plenty of other monsters, plus you can wear rune armor. For one thing, afk training sounds interesting, since you can do your homework, type a word document or do other internet-related things while your character is gaining combat levels. An important notice though, is make sure you stay low defence at first, and complete the quests that need to be completed in order to get the dragon battle axe. The dragon battle-axe is the weapon that hits the highest in runescape classic.

Other things to watch out for (add your tips in the comments)

If you don't want defence xp, train on agressive (strenght xp) or accurate (attack xp). When you first log on, try to find a monster that has less hitpoints than your maximum hit. And for that purpose take off any weapon and amulet. If you are pretty sure that the npc you are about to attack has more hitpoints than your maximum hit, then attack it and quickly switch to agressive (or accurate). Every time you log on, you will be fighting on controlled by default, so watch out.

Wining your attack; I think hp can be usefull, but some people who do not want hitpoints - for the sake of bringing their combat level too high - train their attack with wines or beers on dummies. They temporarily bring their attack level low enough (under level 7) so that they can hit the dummy and gain attack experience. You may do that all the way up to level 99 attack if you wish, provided that you have a good stock of wines/beers.

Good luck! If you've recently started rsc, I hope that this short guide has helped you. If you've been playing for some time and want to leave more advice, please do so in the comments section. Have a good one!

Last Opportunity to Join Rs Classic/RSC

Hey guys, I hope that you took notice of the announcement on the homepage. Well I'll say it anyways for those living under a rock; Between now and the 30th of september will be your LAST opportunity to log into Runescape Classic. Anyone who is or becomes a paying p2p member can start a new account in runescape classic between that lapse of time.

I hope you all join RSC in great numbers as It's a fun game with nice graphics, I find them much nicer to look at then runescape hd for instance believe me.

One thing I like about classic is that it seems much more relaxing to play than rs hd. No complicated graphics, no randoms (as I know of) , no lag, etc.

Who else hear likes Runescape Classic?

Some Runescape Classic Calculators I found

Hey guys, short post today to tell you that I have found some pretty neat runescape classic calculators! Enjoy the great find!


Combat and Max hit Calculator - These are combat level planners/calculator as well as a melee max hit calculator (for runescape classic of course). I've been testing them a little and have found them to be pretty accurate. Use the combat calculator in order to plan your staker's ideal level and whatnot.


Skill Planners and other Calculators - This is for all you skillers out there... some boring skill calculators for the likes of fishing, woodcutting, magic also, etc...


Well hope that you make good use of them. If you are aware of any other runescape classic calculators of any sort, drop me a note in comments and I will add them on this page, cheers!

Rs Classic to open every 6 months!

Great news today for all classic players - Runescape Classic will open and close every 6 months! Forever possibly! This is great great grrrr88eat news my friends, the rs classic community will ever get bigger. Jagex has confirmed that it will close all registrations during 6 months time, and at the end of those 6th months, registration will open again - given the fact that you are a subscribing member.

Do not forget however, that you also need to log into your classic character every 6 months, or it will be deleted!
Furthermore, they have reduced the worlds to only two worlds; one for veteran players that have played classic before the re-release and another world for everyone else (veteran players can access both). While the worlds might be a little crowded, on the other hand there will be more people to watch out and report botters and such. Hope you all enjoyed this update too, have a cold one!

Runescape Classic Home

RuneScape Classic (sometimes reffered as RSC, RS1 or RS Classic), was publicly released on 4 January 2001, and is the first version of RuneScape. It was replaced on 29 March 2004, with what was then known as RuneScape 2, now commonly called RuneScape. On November 11, 2009, Classic was reopened to RuneScape Members. Any member's account that would sign up in the two week period after the reopening would have future access to Runescape Classic after the deadline.

To this day, many players have returned to RSC, and is for many people much more enjoyable than runescape hd. This is because the original classic game has remained unchanged, while in runescape hd, some of the most fun aspects of the game have been hampered in an effort to eliminate real world trading.

This page will be updated with guides and articles pertaining to the good old' classic game.

• Runescape Classic Calculators
  

Runescape Classic Temporarily Re-opens!!

W0W It is Official!!! - Runescape Classic has now been temporarily reopened for a two week period for subscribing RuneScape members! If players access RSC (Runescape classic) during the two-week period (with their username and password), they will have the privilege to continue playing Classic AFTER the period is over!

This is possibly the best update of the year. Remember that there are many players that are unhappy about the wilderness/pvp changes and nerfing of drops in the modern version of Runescape. On the other hand, the pvp aspects of runescape classic have remained as they were - when you kill someone you get what that player had! This aspect alone could bring in a lot of more players.

For myself I have happily joined RSC with my members account, and things seem really great. Here are some of the main differences between the two versions of the gam;

Runescape Classic: No grand exchange, The old combat system where you would fight for "three rounds", trading is somewhat harder, money is harder to make in classic and gold is much more valuable. There are no trading limits either. The whole game, including the wilderness seems to be based more on 1vs1 fighting rather than multi fighting which I also like. One can also duel someone anywhere in the game except falador - you see the "duel" option in the same line where you see "trade" and "follow" options. Note that one account's stats in runescape2 are not transferable to runescape classic, meaning that you have to start over with level 3. Other than that, you might get a little shocked to see the difference in graphics, but I already got used to it and love it - especially when gp is more valuable and best of all, when the good old wilderness there.

Some final tips before starting;  you might want to make a pure of some sort - remember that you can only have one account on classic if you started out, and you won't be able to make another one before jagex re-opens runescape classic (which might take some time) unless you pay more subscriptions to start new accounts within the two week period. So making a runescape classic pure might be fun, and perhaps you should consider it if you plan to be active in the wilderness.

Mark Gerhard (Mod MMG) has stated at an earlier date that a new server of RSC could be brought back for all players to enjoy, but the time for this is unknown, and could take a while. So I strongly suggest for existing members that you log in to Runescape Classic within that two-week period (until november 25th 2009) to secure your RSC account, while non-subscribers should consider getting a subscription just for that month in order to secure you account - as you never know WHEN or even IF Runescape Classic will once again be available for all to enjoy. Have a good one!
