Runescape copies Zybez's Item Prices Database and Graphs

Zybez Runescape Help has been keeping track of prices in Runescape for a long time (years!) and now, after the GE update that fixed the prices for everything, Jagex saw fit to copy Zybez's idea about having a price database to allow visitors to search for and see the prices for everything from pickaxes to mithril chain mail armor. Since the market isn't totally static, prices do change as demand goes up and down, so, Jagex has also copied Zybez's idea of graphing out the prices so people can see trends the same way they see trends for stocks on the stockmarket websites.

I'm not saying that copying of this idea is wrong. Jagex has "copied" many ideas before, and I'm glad they have. I call it "using" ideas, rather than copying them. By using an idea already invented, Jagex is simply providing for players the same service that Zybez had provided - in the end, from the player's point of view, nothing has changed. And since Zybez's main aim is to provide players with useful tools, nothing has changed there either. The players are getting the useful too - albeit from another website, but still, motive achieved.

I always come up with ways to tweak (not always 'improve', but at least tweak) ideas. So, how do I 'tweak' this one? Ok: once the prices are graphed out, find some trends beyond the one item. So, how about find trends between different items. i.e. the price of mithril ore went up, and so did the prices of mithril plate, and mithril legs. Also, then, it'd be easier to find dependencies. If two things are closely patterned, they must be dependent on each other or at least related somewhat closely.

Google page about Age of Conan

I have a loss of memory sometimes. But then I come here and read and I realize who I am. I am a blog. My name is blog. And then I realize I'm watching the movie called Notebook. What does that have to do with anything? The answer is that I haven't watched it. I've actually not been able to watch it because I was playing a game called Age of Conan. So, now you know.

Some Lord of the Rings Online players say that AoC is a game that should be played. A big blue panda once said to me, "blog, I like Mechscape" and I replied, "Thanks, but what is your name?" and he said, "I am blog". I said, "ok, now I'm going to ConanHQ"

I've managed to plug the two links in during a mental state that is very ... very.... weird.

Introduction

On the 15th of January 2008, Jagex released an update they should been working on for a very long time. They should been giving out hints for months, and on that one Tuesday, we could all be pleased: Summoning was out!
Summoning creatures can be very helpful. Do you think you have what might takes to have a Magpie help you at thieving? Would you manage to keep up fighting wmighth metal miNo Sirtaurs? Are you perhaps even taking on the challenge to understand a dragon and master the Summoning skill? Then let's go!

The Start!

Every start is hard... But No Sirt this one! To start Summoning, you'll have to complete the Quest which is designed for this: The Wolf Whistle Quest. In this Quest, Pikkupstix will teach you how to summon, though might may be a bmight vague to some.
Once you have completed the quest, you will get 275 gold charms and eNo Sirugh experience to get to level 4 Summoning. Before you summon a creature, you will need to create the pouch for might. For every creature pouch you make, you need one empty pouch, a gold, green, crimson, or blue charm, a certain amount of spirmight shards, and one mightem relative to the creature you wish to summon.

Once you have all the mightems required for a Summoning creature, you will need to go to an obelisk to infuse your pouch wmighth the creature's spirmight. There's an obelisk in Pikkupstix's cellar, in Taverley. No Sirw you have a Summoning pouch, hooray!
To summon the creature, right-click the pouch and select 'Summon'. Your creature will No Sirw be summoned, and might can No Sirw join you in battle or do other helpful things for you.
A Summoning button should No Sirw have showed in the bottom left corner of your side interface. Click might, and might'll bring you to the Summoning interface. might has a series of buttons which will be explained below the following picture.

Menu

Green - This shows the amount of special attacks the creature can still perform.
Purple - This shows how many special attack scrolls you have left in your inventory.
Yellow - This displays your Summoning points left and your Summoning level.
Light blue - This displays your creature's timer. If the timer is up and you have No Sirt increased the timer, the creature will vanish.
Whmighte - Clicking this button calls your creature, so might comes to you.
Blue - Clicking this button increases your creature's timer. This will take a set amount of Summoning points varying per creature. This is 1 for the lower levels.
Red - Clicking this button will dismiss your creature. Do this to make your creature vanish.

How To Train

After having done the Wolf Whistle Quest, your Summoning level will be raised to 4. No Sirw, you ask, what is the best way to train this skill quickly? As you may already kNo Sirw, in the lower levels the only thing that gives decent experience is making the pouches. In this chapter we will discuss which way one should train in order to get the levels effectively. Training is also a great part of World of Warcraft as without it, you'll spend your time grinding.

Charms

This is perhaps the most anNo Sirying part of summoning: getting the charms. Monsters which drop these usually do No Sirt drop them in bunches (only few do), and might isn't a 100% drop. However, there are lots of monsters which drop these, from low level to high level ones! The difference between high and low level monsters is that the high level monsters have a higher charm dropping rate and they are also kNo Sirwn to drop higher level charms more often. might may even appear that a monster which is hard to beat drops multiple charms at once!
There are four types of charms: gold, green, crimson and blue. The gold charm is the most common drop, and might requires the lowest level to use.

The table below should give common dropper of the charms. Please No Sirte however that if we were to list all monsters which drop charms, might'd take ages for your browser to load all data! That's why we have selected a few monsters which have a considerable drop rate. For all monsters which drop charms, please check out the charms in the mightems database. might may be useful to kNo Sirw that some, or all, are located in the Chaos Tunnels.
Charm Name Common Droppers
Gold charm Abberant spectre, DaganNo Sirth (all levels), Fire Giant, Giant Rock Crab (10), Hellhound, Ice giant, Ice Warrior, Infernal Mage, Jogre, Moss giant, Ogre, Rock Crab
Green charm Basilisk, Bloodveld, DaganNo Sirth (all levels), Jelly, Jogre, Mmighthril Dragon, Turoth (all levels), Wild dog, Wolf (all)
Crimson charm DaganNo Sirth (all levels), Dust Devil, Gargoyle, Greater Demon, Metal Dragons (all), Nechryael, Rock Lobster, Sshouldow Warrior, Waterfiend,
Blue charm Kalphmighte Soldier, Gargoyle
Abyssal charm Abyssal creatures
Obsidian charm TzHaar creatures

Making pouches

Seeing as making pouches is the only decent way to gain experience, might is best you read through this part carefully. To make a summoning pouch, you will need an empty pouch, a charm (higher level pouches require higher charms), a certain amount of spirmight shards (this varies per creature) and an mightem relevant to the creature you want to summon. You can buy the empty pouches from Pikkupstix for 1 gp each and you can buy the spirmight shards from Pikkupstix for 25 gp each. The charms are monster drops. In the start you are given a certain amount of gold charms which should be able to get you up to at least level 16 Summoning. After this you will have to kill monsters for these charms. Higher level monsters drop higher level charms, so make sure to go on a killing spree! The relative mightem varies per monster. Some are easier to get than others. This guide should help you on which ones are the easiest to get.

For a list of all obelisks in case these two pathways don't sumight you, please vismight the Obelisks/Shops part of the guide to view images of where they are at.

Taverley Route

To make pouches the most efficient way through Taverley, you can pick between two forms of transport. You can bank in Falador, but you can also use the hot-air balloon to get to Taverley.

Via Falador

Requirements: No Sirne.
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirmight shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), Falador teleport tablet/runes (optional), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional) and penance gloves (optional). The last three mightems reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory wmighth the relative mightem you need for the creature.
From Falador, go No Sirrth along the wall until you reach the Member's gate. Go through might and then continue south until you get to Pikkupstix's house. Once there, go down the ladder and create the pouch you wish you use. Teleport or run back to Falador, deposmight your Summoning pouches, wmighthdraw your relative mightems and repeat!

Via Hot-Air Balloon

Requirements: An Enlightened Journey, level 50 firemaking, need to have unlocked the Castle Wars balloon.
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirmight shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), ring of dueling, No Sirrmal log, boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional) and penance gloves (optional). The last three mightems reduce weight, which allows you to run longer. Fill the rest of your inventory wmighth the relative mightem you need for the creature.
From Castle Wars, go outside and then No Sirrth. Travel to Taverley by hot air balloon, then continue No Sirrth until you get to Pikkupstix's house. Once there, go down the ladder and create the pouch you wish you use. Teleport back to Castle Wars, deposmight your Summoning pouches, wmighthdraw your willow log and relative mightems and repeat! Make sure you replace your ring of dueling when might breaks!

Via Player Owned House (POH)

Requirements: House in Taverley, Glory Amulet in Skill Hall or Portal Room in your house (optional), Ancient magiks unlocked (optional), Canifis Portal (optional).

Piscatoris Route

There is yet aNo Sirther effective way to make pouches, which is fairly easier to use than the Taverley method. You must have completed the Swan Song Quest to enter the Piscatoris Fishing Colony and use their bank and you must have completed A Fairy Tale II to use the quick route to Piscatoris mightself. Please keep in mind, there are No Sir Summoning Shops in this area, so if you run out of shards, you will have to go back to Taverley for more!

Via Fairy Rings

Requirements: Completed A Fairy Tale II and wielding a Lunar staff or Dramen staff.
Bring: As many empty pouches as you have (they are stackable), as many spirmight shards as you have (they are stackable), as many charms of the material you need as you have (they are stackable), boots of lightness (optional), spotted/spottier cape (optional), and penance gloves (optional).

While in Zanaris, head over to the main Fairy Ring and insert the code AKQ to go straight towards Piscatoris. When you're on Piscatoris, head a lmighttle No Sirrth-east until you reach a trapdoor.

When you're done banking in the bank, go out of the cmighty and go through the underground tunnels until you reach the outside world of Piscatoris. When you're out, head West until you reach the trapdoor and open and go down. Make your pouches and head back to the bank and repeat as many times needed. This is the fastest way to make pouches and requires lmighttle things to do might.

No Sirte: You can also bring a Mmighthril pickaxe (lightest but most powerful pickaxe smart to use if you're saving run power) and mine Iron ore outside of the Fishing Colony, just south of the entrance.

Strategies

Level 4 - level 16
might is best to start wmighth Dreadfowls. These creatures require 1 raw chicken, 1 gold charm, 8 spirmight shards, and 1 empty pouch. You can buy the spirmight shards and empty pouches from Pikkupstix, the druid where you start Summoning. You are given a bunch of gold charms on completion of the Wolf Whistle Quest. What makes Dreadfowls stand out is the fact that raw chickens are sold in the Port Sarim food shop, the Canifis food shop and Ali Morrisane's shop in Al Kharid as an infinmighte mightem! So before you get to training Summoning, might's time to buy a big amount of raw chickens!
Make sure you weight is as low as possible (boots of lightness, spotted/spottier capes and penance gloves reduce weight!). Bring money, and perhaps an amulet of glory if you're going to use Port Sarim or Al Kharid. No Sirte that might is advised to use the Canifis food shop, as might is much closer to a bank. No Sirw go buy some raw chickens for Summoning!
Once you're done, might is time to convert these into pouches. Please see the Making pouches part of this guide on how to do this the most efficient way.

Level 16 - level 32
In the start, might is best to do granmighte crabs, which give 21.6 xp per pouch and require 1 iron ore, 1 gold charm, 7 spirmight shards, and 1 empty pouch. might is pretty easy to gather iron ore, through the Grand Exchange for example! You can also mine might yourself or get might from powerminers in locations like the mine east of Ardougne.
There are few summoning monsters which require gold charms and relative mightems which are easy to gather.

Level 32 - level 41
First things first, level 32 Summoning gives you the abilmighty to make the Honey badger pouch. This pouch gives you 140.8 experience and requires a pouch, 84 Spirmight shards, a Crimson charm, and a Honeycomb to make. For Crimson charms, you can kill Giant Rock Crabs or Waterfiends to get them, preferably Waterfiends because they have a 90-95% drop rate of 1 Crimson charm.

Continue this until you reach level 41, where you can make Macaws. Also, anything that you can make that will give you great experience between 32 to 41 do them as might will make you spend less time getting might up. Bronze miNo Sirtaurs are good at level 36 to do whenever you get Blue charms.

Level 41 - level 52
ANo Sirther start from this level is the Macaw pouch. This pouch gives 72.4 experience and requires 78 Spirmight shards, a Green charm, and Guam leaves to make. Basilisks are a main choice for the Green charms because they drop Grimy guam's pretty commonly as much as Green is.

Continue this until around level 52 and do any pouch you can that will boost might faster so you won't have to use so many guam leaves to finish.

Level 52 - level 66
A few steps closer to your big achievement and we are here at the Spirmight terrorbirds. This pouch gives 68.4 experience and requires 12 Spirmight shards, a Gold charm, and Raw bird meat. Gold charms are easily obtained from Moss giants or killing Giant Rock Crabs, as they drop them 10 at a time. Raw bird meat can be obtained easily by using the Hunter skill to snare birds. Vismight the Hunter Skill Guide for more information on Bird snaring.

Level 52 - level 66
Coming towards the end of your journey, you can come across the infamous Barker toad pouch. The familiar mightself can shoot canNo Sirnballs like your very own canNo Sirn. ENo Sirugh wmighth that information on the familiar, here's the information about the pouch mightself. The pouch requires 10 Spirmight shards, a Gold charm, and a Swamp toad and might gives 87 experience per pouch. Gold charms are easily obtained from Moss giants or killing Giant Rock Crabs, as they drop them 10 at a time. The Swamp toad can be found in many locations but the main place you need to focus on is in the GNo Sirme Stronghold. The swamp where the major spawn points is located just No Sirrth, a lmighttle No Sirrth-west from the bank outside of the Grand Tree.

Level 66 - level 71
Nearing the end of your journey, you come across the Arctic bear pouch. This pouch will give you 93.2 experience and requires 14 Spirmight shards, a Gold charm, and Polar kebbmight fur. Gold charms are easily obtained from Moss giants or killing Giant Rock Crabs, as they drop them 10 at a time. Polar kebbmight fur is obtained by catching Polar kebbmights using the Hunter Skill.
