The Daily Llama

Just looking at the old and new chat heads, I know that this update is the best thing since RS2 came out.  Every part of it just looks more real than it did before.  I can’t imagine what   Jagex have already changed torches from position-changing triangles to dancing flames, but now, they’re going to make the light actually have an effect on the scenery.  A dimly lit dungeon would have less light in it than outdoors would have at noon, but the current game engine doesn’t seem to notice.  For example, if you have a lantern in your backpack, the light fills the space equally, even if there’s a wall between… Visit the blog to read more of RuneScape gets a graphics update-Part 2

On May 8th, Jagex showed us a little image of the future.  This included a note that RuneScape will be available in full screen, with better graphics.  They posted a picture of a place in Varrock now and what it would look like after the update.

Then, on the 16th, 8 days later, they showed us another image of the future, stating that the graphics displayed in the picture would be available within the next few months.

However, they did not show the previous looks of the area in question, AKA the Godwars Dungeon entrance.  Here’s a… Visit the blog to read more of The future of RuneScape's graphics

Today on RuneScape, I cut down quite a few yew trees, picked a bunch of flax, and made 112 yew longbows.  Then I teleported to Varrock and mined pure essence that I turned into 112 nature runes.  After a bunch of alchemy, I bought dragon gloves (RFD), sold one set of full rune, and bought a granite body Visit the blog to read more of What I'm Doing on RuneScape 5/10/2008

I’ve been working my rear end off on summoning in the last few days.  I’ve almost completely exhausted my money, but what I’m running out of the most is summoning charms, so I’ve decided to fight some cockroaches with my mosquitoes.  I’ve got to choose between mosquitoes, where the main ingredient costs upwards of 3k although only one shard is needed, or albino rats, which require 75 shards (1,875 coins in shards alone) and requires blue charms which (I think) are the rarest.  I could also try spirit kalphites, but they require potato cactuses which can only be found in a room with the level 333 Kalphite Queen.
