Yes that makes sense, NC, thank you! LOL, I have to admit most of the reason I leave this part of parenting to Darren is that I just can't stay involved in the games while the two of them can get all into it.

I saw the advertisement for the Grand Exchange, but I haven't tried it yet. I've been doing a lot of mining and fletching. I love it when various characters approach and send you on a side quest. As NC told me, if one wants to talk to you, talk! Dr. Jeckyl/Mr. Hyde has come up to me twice. The first time I didn't know what was going on and didn't respond and he attacked me. The second time I talked back with him and even though I couldn't help (he wanted some herb), he still rewarded me. The exception is the Evil Chicken. If it is the Evil Chicken, RUN! The Evil Chicken came after me last night and I remembered NC told me to run from it so I did. I've gotten a couple of cool "prizes" through these side quests. I finished the Imp Catcher quest yesterday evening. It is not hard, but you have to kill a lot of imps. Even though imps are scattered through all of Runescape, you can find the most imps below the south wall of Falador. Do you guys realize just how geeky we sound?

Oh, and if steam starts coming up from the rock you are trying to mine, don't continue! I thought maybe the steam signaled some cool prize would be coming out, like a diamond, and I kept going only to spark an explosion, lose 5 HP and damage my pickaxe! I have a really good pickaxe. Some complete stranger gave it to me! I must be in nicer worlds than you, because the noob comments haven't come my way much. Anyway, I had to take my pickaxe to the Dwarven mines to get it fixed. There is a store there where the dwarf will fix your pickaxe, and you can also buy a better one if you want, but it costs a lot of $$$$.

Whoo hoo! Both on the job and getting through the wolves! I haven't been this hooked on a game since Paper Mario : The Thousand Year Door. Mamie tells me I need a 12-Step program! I tell myself it is just a pleasant way to pass the time while I recover from the sinus infection from hell. My whole face hurts!

I love how the random characters just pop up. Anyone have the twin sister "kidnap" you and plea for your help nabbing her evil twin? I seem to be approached by characters a lot. It seems that they come up to you more when you are hanging out in the same place doing the same job, which I do often to up my levels. NC, I'm still 37, but I will be 38 or 39 before I go to bed tonight!

Well, I think I have finally figured out how not to get killed so frequently. Not sure what my level is at this point, but I am sure it isn't much over 10, if it is that high

I'm gonna go home and play right now...finally! Treasure you can kill the goblins north of Umbridge to get a higher combat level with minimal risk. I think I'm in the 30s somewhere right now overall. Ranging is my best skill at 31. I'm not very good at multitasking in the game; I spent a whole day mining, fletching, and killing bears last week. It felt like work! So silly.

I am still using my training sword and shield. I do have a bronze sword in my account. Would the bronze sword be better to fight with? Would it add strength or something? What about the shield? I got killed again last night. Now I have lost a half helmet that I found. I probably should wear it (if I find another one. ehehe

Hey Treasure! You can use either sword, but also just kept killing things, even chickens. It will boost your attack points. You can also select the kind of attack you want; if you want to boost Defense points, choose Block from the attack menu. You also have hit points, so if you keep killing stuff, you'll boost those too. The more you have, the harder it is to kill you. I currently have 29 hit points, but could use more. You can get some low-level things to protect you, like leather armor and boots. they will boost your defense points and sometimes other areas too. If there's stuff you really want to keep, you can store it in the bank. When you die I think you keep the most valuable items on your person. But everything you store in the bank will still be there no matter what.

I saw Hermi in the game last night. Too funny! I have discovered crafting and it's keeping things interesting. I can cast silver bolts, spin flax or sinew, make pottery, or sew hides into leather armor. All of which ties in nicely with fletching, as those bow strings don't make themselves. The levels fly by as well. What is a faster way to gain attack points? I really hate standing in a field for hours killing guards. Seems to take forever to advance a level.

It was so funny! Completely unplanned. We were both put in the same world and crossed paths at the Lumbridge castle! I don't think there is a faster way to gain attack points, unfortunately. Prayer levels help a smidge. If you are not at a high enough attack level, however, magic and ranging will not impact your combat level at all. You can try the site to look at your levels together and to get hints and know what you need to focus on next. That's how I found out that I need to raise my attack and strength in order for ranging and magic to start impacting my total combat again. Runescape Combat Calculator I'm such a dork!

there are some quests that will bring up your combat levels faster the dragon slayer when its done u get 18,650 in strength points 18,650 def. points and right to wear rune armer lost tribe 2000 attack points and u can go to a new mine under lumbridge and there is a store that sells bone cross bows and bone bolts to go with it have any of u tried going in the hole at the barbarian village mine it is a 4 level training place the first floor has hundreds of things to kill from lv 3 to lv 10 and u learn about rune scape to get to the next door u have to answer a question about the game when u get to the end of the 1st floor u get 2,000 gp and can go to the next lv down as u go down it gets harder and the things get bigger I think at the end of floor 2 or maybe 3 u get 10,000 gp as your reward. beyond that the bigger things u fight the faster u seem to go up (maybe that's just me) and there is a little shack north of the bridge at barbarian village(varrock side of bridge) if u have a brass key u can open the door and go in to a cave were u can kill giants (they drop big bones when u bury then it's like burying 3 reg. bones) and all sorts of things the cave comes out at edgeville just east of varrock palace is a man hole that goes in to varrock sewer lots of things to kill there most holes or caves are marked on the map as a red !

Oh fantastic! Thanks to both of you! Yay! Great detailed advice, Nightcrawler. I can't wait to go home and play. Confucious say "she who follows advice of dorks is also a dork."

My family does not play RuneScape but we have started a different free online game: Sword of the New World as seen at http://www.SwordOfTheNewWorld.com Veterans of games like Wizardry, Yserbius, The Realm, EverQuest, Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camelot (the best), this game suits us. Even in solo play ~ I can finally put my 3 main game characters together. Just, wow, when my hubbies bring out 3 of their characters we have a party of 9 all onscreen same time! Now my son says he would like an acct to join us, making a party of 12... There is no 'dying' per se and no tiresome skills (been there done that other games) this is just hunt the monsters & explore. The non PVP server starts all at same town. Game has quests, maps, travel, storage sites, trade & chat, even allows some NPCs to permanently join a 'family'. It was S Korea's "Game of the Year" in 2006, only recently became free online. Graphics are good, music is opera, game is set in 1770 era. While not the usual Medieval scene, awesomely exciting! Your fellow gamer ~ Riviere (aka Greymouse since 1988)

That sounds fun, too! Maybe if I ever get weary of Runescape, I will try it, but right now I am so hooked! ROFL! The first thing I did this morning when I woke up was mined for coal and iron so I could make steel!

So that's what steel is made from! It's pretty sad that I didn't know that. Going home to play, hoping I don't get too tired...
