Todays picture and post is about weapons. First let's look at the picture. This shows the process that armor and weapons go through (Usually) when they're made. First: Mine the metals. We're making an Adamant bar (You will learn about this later.) so we will need one Adamant ore and six coal ore. We have the ore, we go to the furnace and smith it into and Adamant bar. After that, we get a hammer and go to an anvil and bang away and make a dagger or sword or whatever we want with it. We keep repeating this process until we have full Adamant armor complete with an Adamant 2h. We want to test our brand new valuable armor out. So we go to kill a skeleton. Bad news: A level 120 Revenant Ork appears out of nowhere and kills us. We lose all of our armor. (Honestly, the last part usually happens. In fact, it happened to me in the video that I took a long time ago but I didn't have any armor on.) But we were skipping too many parts in the process. So we won't learn about weapons just yet. We will go through what happens on tutorial island. Every time you start RuneScape, your person appears as a level three on some 'mysterious' island. This is tutorial island and once you leave it, you will never, ever, ever go back unless you make a new account. But who cares. That place is for newbs or noobs as us RuneScape players call them. Noob is often an insult in RuneScape so don't let the word go unnoticed. You start tutorial island after you create your account name and password and all the other settings. The first thing you do is create your character. You can change your hair color, your gender, your skin color, your clothes, your clothes color, and a billion other things. Once you finish that, you appear in a building. You 'realize' that you can change the view with the arrow keys and click where you want to walk. You can also click on your 'radar' and click where you want to walk on there for a longer range. You click on things to 'activate' them and you right click on them to see their other options. (I will follow the rest of the story of tutorial island as if you already knew what to do.) You walk to the door, open it, walk outside, go to the pond, and talk to the lady there. She will give you a bronze axe, (The worst kind of axe in RuneScape. But you can't expect them to give you items of value...) and tell you to chop down a regular tree since your woodcutting level is only one and is not high enough to chop any other kinds like oak down. You chop down the tree and your woodcutting level goes up by one because you only need a little bit of xp for your first level and it raises every time. I might get mixed up in the order of the next part but oh well. She gives you a fishing net and tells you to fish some shrimp since your fishing level is too low to fish anything else. But you already knew that didn't you? So you fish some shrimp and talk to her. She tells you to use the logs you got from chopping down a tree on the tinderbox she just gave you to make a fire. You do that and you have to do it on those logs because your firemaking level isn't high enough to do it on other types of logs. (Note that I'm telling you this because I can do it on other types of logs and my levels are higher which gives me a higher priority. But to be nice, I won't make fun of your level three (Compared to my level 63) avatar anymore.) You make a fire and she tells you to cook the shrimp on the fire because.... I don't need to say it. So you end up burning the shrimp and she tells you to fish some more and cook those. You end up cooking them. (Your chances of burning your food reduce as your cooking level gets higher.) You can use this as food later to heal your health. She tells you the next person you need to go to is the cook. So you go to the cook, and you get into an argument about how you already know how to cook and the cook says that cooking fish over a fire isn't cooking (Even though it is.) and he gives you a pot of flour and a bucket. You fill the bucket with the tap in the corner of the room and you use it on the flour to make dough. You use the dough on his range (Or oven) and make bread. You can also do this over a fire and you can also cook shrimp and other fish over a range. (There is also the chance that you will burn your bread. You can't eat burned food.) You can save the bread just like the shrimp as food for later. Next is the fun part. You go into the cellar in the cooks' kitchen and go into a huge underground cave. You have to talk to the dwarf and he will tell you to prospect the rocks. Even though you can usually tell from their color, prospecting lets you know what type of rock they are. So you figure out that the brownish rock is copper and the grayish one is tin. You talk to the dwarf and tell him and he gives you a pickax to mine them. You mine one copper and one tin and then talk to the dwarf again. He tells you to smelt them in the furnace to make a bronze bar. (Later when your level is higher, you can make other types of bars in this order from lowest level to highest: Iron, Steel, Mithril, Adamant, and Rune.) You make your bronze bar and he gives you a hammer and tells you to go to the anvil and make a dagger since right now you can only make a dagger and an axe. (Later, you can make other things (All of them are in the picture.) but the bigger they are, the more bronze bars you'll need.) So you make your dagger and when you click on it, you wield it and he shows you how to view your stats and what you're wearing and all that. You move on to the coolest one, the combat master. He has a steel 2h (Two handed sword. A slow, inaccurate, but powerful weapon.) in one hand, and a dragon square shield or something in the other. (Dragon is the most powerful type of metal.) So you talk to him and he gives you a bronze sword. You wield that and he tells you to go kill a level three rat. He tells you about your attack types while you're at it, and once you finish and talk to him, he gives you a shortbow and fifty arrows. You go outside the cage with the giant rats this time and kill one with ranged. Once that's finished, you go up out of the cavern and learn about banking. They tell you about the hundreds of banks in RuneScape and tell you you talk to the bankers to have access to your bank account. You only have twenty eight spaces in your inventory so the bank is where you can keep your items until you want them. Also, if you die, you keep all your items except three so you can keep items in your bank if they're valuable. They give you fifty coins in your bank and tell you ways to get coins: Selling things, killing monsters, and something else. But there's also begging people until they give it up although they call those people noobs. Then you learn about prayers and quests which I've already covered... And then they do magic. The wizard gives you five air runes and five mind runes. These are circular and only take up one space no matter how many of each you have. You go to your magic spell list and he tells you to use the only spell that you can use in your spell book on the chickens. You eventually kill one and ask him to go to the real RuneScape world whenever you want to leave. He asks if you want him to give you thirty air runes and thirty mind runes before you go and you can answer yes or no. So then you are officially playing RuneScape after that. Bye bye...
