A: A Brass Key will open up the door to a small house northwest of Varrock. Many people use the key to get out of the Edgeville Dungeon, as it respawns near the ladder leading from the end of the dungeon in a small room.

Q: Hey, sal! ur site rox my sox!! i was just wondering if i wanted to try being a memeber and i paid for a month, lets say i got trimmed armor. next month i don't suscribe to be a member, will i still have the armor?? thanks..hope u answer!
A: Yes, you'll still have your armor (as well as anything else you got from being a Member). Any items that are members-only will still be in your bank when you become a Free-Player again; you'll just be unable to use them until you become a Member again. Instead, it will show up as a "Members Item."

Q: Hey Sal!! Awesome website! I was just wondering wear I can change my clothes or even if it's possible. Please answer, I'm dying to know! Thanks
A: Yes, there are a nuimber of places that you can go to change your RuneScape looks. The Hairdresser in the west part of Falador may be able to change your Hair style and color, while the Clothes Seller in Varrock near the fountain can change your clothes. Of course, you'll need to pay for anything that you change.

A: I'd suggest that you download Spybot Search & Destroy from Safer Networking. After isntalling it, get the updates and scan your computer. Have it delete anything it finds. Also, be sure to check out the Security Guide.

A & C
Q: Hi! Great site! I have a few questions about rasing cats.
1) DO you have to play with the kitten for 2 hours straight or do you just have to let him out of the inventory and follow you?
A: Well, it's best if you play with your cat, give him food and attention. Otherwise, he'll run away after awhile. Be sure to read the Kitten To Cat guide if you haven't already!

Q: hey, ur site has been a lot of help and i like it. i am playing rs2 right now and i though of a good question that i needed answered. when i walk through certain places with things like skeletons they atk when i didnt atk them, what lvl do i have to be before they dont atk randomly? thnks
A: Ususally you need ot be twice their level, plus 1. So, if the moster was level 20, you'll need to be level 41 so that they won't attack you.

Dragon x1291
Q: Hey sal, nice web site, ok, i got 2 questions
1. do i have to do the regicide quest to be able to use dragon weapons?
2. Do I need to finish dragon slayer quest to wear rune plaight? BTW: Sweet site man!!
A: 1) No, but many Dragon weapons require that you complete quests before using them (As well as 60 Attack). Dragon Swords require that you have finished the Lost City Quest, while Dragon Axes require the Hero's Quest to be completed first. The Dragon Halberd requires that you have first completed the Regicide Quest.
2) Yes, you need to first complete the Dragon Slayer quest before wearing a Rune Plate (or a Dragonhide body).

Reeperslayer
Q: I just bought a maul and i ahve some questions. Firstly, wat does the maul special attack do anyways? Secondly, would you recommend this weapon? lastly, how much damage do you think someone with 50 strength would hit with it tops. I hope you answer this. By the way, AWESOME SITE!
A: The Granite Maul just does a quick attack that adds some damage to your hit. There aren't any special effects like the other weapons have. It's a powerful weapon that's faster than a 2-H sword, so I'd reccomend it. With 50 Strength you could probably do around 14-15 damage (without potions or anything) or more.

cNETlucas
Q: I saw 2 people that has cool armor on... its an split bark armor... how can i get barks for the armor???please help. PS:COOL SITE U HaVe!
A: Splitbark armor can be obtained after complting the Shades of Mort'ton Quest. You need to kill the different shades in the temple and burn their remains on Pyre Logs. Sometimes they will drop a key, and with this you can open different doors (in the temple) and get some Fine Cloth from the chests. When you have enough, you can bring the cloth back to the Wizard wearing Splitbark Armor in the Wizards' Tower near Draynor Village and he'll sell you different pieces. A full guide on this will be added to the site soon.

Admiral_N
Q: Hey I was hoping you could tell me for someone just starting out in runescape, what do you think are the skills that they should work on first? Or should they work on all skills evenly (i.e. get a level in smithing, now go get to the same level in crafting) Please answer. Thanks!
A: I'd reccommend that you work on fishing, cooking and combat first. Fishing and Cooking is a great way to earn cash, and if you want to fight you'll need to know how to cook to stay alive. Your style of combat is up to you, whether you want to use melee, ranged or magic. Many people choose to use melee combat (attack, defense and strenth) first, and then as they get some cash they can spend it on Runes or Arrows. Of course, it's really up to you as to what stats to train.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sedirex
Q: Hi sal. Just so you know, your site is awesome! But I have a problem. I'm level 37, and up until now I've been training as a warrior. But recently, I decided that I want to be a ranger. However, my attack and strength are 36 and 28. Can I still be a successful ranger? I don't want to start a new account because I wouldn't be able to pay for 2 members accounts! Help!
Sedirex
A: Of course you can still be successful! If you keep working on your Ranging, Attack and Strength will have no effect on your combat level. As long as Ranging is your highest combat stat, the other stats will not effetc your level.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
808islandboy
Q: Hey Sal, You havent posted any of my questions before, but can you please post this one!Anyway ive been wondering, ive heard people talking about this thing called a rune bot, they say that it upgrades your stats and dupes your items, is it true?
A: Rune Bot is supposedly a macroing program that will mine fish and do everything else for you. Don't believe it, most of the programs that you'll find are designed to steal your password. Many are backdoor trojans that will set a keylogger up on your computer and do some not-so-good things to it (among them, steal your RuneScape account).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hugij
Q: Hi Sal and everybody!!! I have un question and plz answer it!!! Can i get more than one clue from the same kind of monster??
A: Yes, you can get an 'unlimited' number of clues from the same type of monster, but you need to complete (or drop) each clue before you can get another (from any kind of monster).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mattshaffer2
Q: sorta weird but i was wondering what QP was. when u click on the level button, it's on the bottom left and i was wondering what it was for.(my QP is 39)
A: QP actually stands for the number of Quest Points that you have, from completing quests.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Claire
Q: hey Sal, awesome web site...I am a first time asker lol....but here is my question. i usually see flowers in the local general store.and i would like to know how i could "pick" flowers and sell them.
A: After you complete the Waterfall Quest, you'll get a box of Mithril Seeds. These can be planted anywhere and they'll instantly grow into Flowers that you can pick! You can also buy Seeds from the Legends Guild.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brandon
Q: im kinda a noob in runescape so i dont know if this is a stupid question but i know strength raises the damage you do, what about your attack level?
A: Your attack level is what determines if you'll hit your enemy. The higher your Attack, the better your chance is to successfully hit your opponent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xelefer
Q: If you are skulled and have protect items on, and you die, do you keep 1 item? please respond. PS: your website is awesome!
A: Yes, you'll still keep an item if you're killed while you're skulled and have the Protect Items Prayer on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jonnymet
Q: hi sal!!!!!! this is the third question ive posted so hopefully u will answer it, ok here goes. how do i got into the mage arena????????? plz answer im really desparate to know.
A: You need to have at least level 60 Magic to get into the Mage Arena, whih is located in the deep Wilderness around level 55. You will also need some sort of sharp weapon (or a Knife) to get past the spider webs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor Penguin
Q: I think our site is the best Runescape fansite ever created! I have a few questions...
1): Are there penguins in Rs2 members servers?
2): When pking, can two archers (or mages) kill eachother at the same time?
3): If a non-member pk's a member, does the non-member get member items? Thanks!
A:
1)Yes, you can find Penguins in the Ardougne Zoo on Members' Servers.
2) I suppose that they could kill each other at the same time if the attacks were timed just right, but it's highly unlikely for that to happen.
3) No, the Member items will disappear if they are dropped on a freeplay server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Master1951
Q: hi sal. i just started lookin at your site and its the bomb. i had a question. is anyone able to trim armor cause ive had like 5 people ask and ive rejected it. second question is how do all the people in the wilderness that are lower than you almost kill you cause i almost died goin up against a level 54 and im 61. thankx and i hope you answer.
A: No, armor can't be trimmed by anyone in RuneScape. The only way to obtain it is through completion of a Treasure Trail. Lower level PKers may be a pure, which means that they don't have any Prayer experience (or levels). This keeps their level lower than a person with a higher prayer level, and they may have higher combat stats.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demon Ifrit
Q: Hey Sal, just wanna say AWESOM site, I completed all the non-member quests thanks to it! My question is, how do you get robes of Zamorak or "Necromancer" robes? Are they tradable in free worlds? thanks, Demon Ifrit
A: Robes of Zamorak are obtained by Necromancers in the tower southeast of Ardougne. You can also get them from Iban Desciples, but they aren't tradeable in the freeplay world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Lessner
Q: hi sally boy! im a big fan of ur website! allrighty then , ok heres my question,''if you unsubscribe,does ur member stuff say member object or the real name like ( rune halberd)? and if its like a dragon long , can you still wield it cuz if ur a member and you go to a free world then it just says kick or punch?
A: Yes, any meber items will become a 'Members Object' while on a freeplay world. They aren't useable on freeplay, so you'll be unable to equip any of them. Items that you were wearing while you were a member (including Members-Only ones) will still be equipped, but they will give no stat bonuses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A:
1) No, Abyssal Whips are actually a rare drop from Abyssal Demons.
2) Check the Herblore guide for all of your potion-making needs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicolet13
Q: For the kitten to cat thing, does the cat have to be walking behind you or does it just have to be in your inventory for the 2 hour time period? Please let me know. Your site is awesome, Sal! I love it! ~Nicolet13~
A: Yes, your kitten needs to be outside of your backpack walking behind you in order for it to grow up into a Cat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A: If you're standing on a Members-Only area in RuneScape and try to log into a freeplay server, you'll just be unable to log in until you move to a freeplay area.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IlamilW
Q: I have noticed that on your website there are some members quests not listed there. You might be still righting the walkthroughs, but whatever the reason is please tell me when they will be ready or if you'll right them at all!!
A: Yes, those guides will be written in a short time. As you can see, there are regular updates adding the different guides that the site is missing. Lots of people have been writing guides to help the site out, but I'm the one who writes the final guide to be put on the site. As there's only 1 of me, it takes awhile to add all of the guides! :-)

D Arnold
Q: Hi sal,
I'm new to this site and like it. My question is that I was walking around ardougne zoo when i saw this gorilla come and follow me. It scared me heaps. Then it turned into a monkey. I ran around the zoo with this monkey runnning after me. Then it turned into a player. He wont tell me how to do this so i wanna learn how. I reckon it's cool. I hope you can answer it.
A: This can be accomplished after doing the Monkey Madness Quest. You'll have the ability to turn into a monkey at any time once you're finished! there are more details about this inside the guide.

runalls5
Q: hey sal ur site kicks! n e wayz i waz wonderin why:
1.some very high lvl ppl have books in their hands
2. where to get them
3.what they do
4 and can i equip one if im a non member?
A: Those books are from the Horror From the Deep Quest and they are known as Prayer Books. You'll get a book of the God of your choice from the quest, and they add 5 to your Prayer. As you add pages to them, they will add more prayer and stat bonuses. Saradomin adds 8 to Defense stats, Zamorak adds 8 to Strength stats, and Guthix adds 4 to both Attack and Defense bonuses. These are members-only items, so non members can't use them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malyrus
A: I've been wondering about this for a while, but is the left side of runescape available only to members? In other words, will a non-member like myself be able to get to the Heros' Guild and Buthorpe which is west of the chaos temple, past the border? Great site! Keep it up
A: Yes, the entire west half of RuneScape is members-only, and anything past the border is only available to Members.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Link4516
Q: Hey Sal! This is urgent! I accidently started the wterfall quest and I went on the raft and now I'm stranded and I don't have any rope! What do I do???????? Please reply as soon as possible!
A: If you're stranded on the island without rope, I believe that you can just click on the large rock that you would use the rope with and you'll attempt to swim off of the island but you'll be carried downstream out of the Waterfall.

Q: Hi again, Sal. This time I have a thechnical question for ya; you seem to know about the different kinds of Java. I switched to a different kind when we started using Mozilla Firefox, and since then the sound has not been working on Runescape (It works everywhere else). If you could offer me some suggestions about how to get the sound back, I'd really appreciate it. (Its been going on for a while now, but I mostly want to listen to all the music I've unlocked during the game.) Thanks Sal, you're a huge help.
A: There seems to be an issue with the sound in RuneScape while using other browsers that Internet Explorer. I use Firefox as well but I can't hear music either. I'm not sure if it's an issue with RuneScape or with how Firefox handles sound. You could probably get a better answer from the Jagex Support staff on their website. For now, if you want to hear music I'd use the RuneScape client.

Gtavc1990694
Q: i would like to make a guide for ur website but i dunno how i should write it up...should i use wordpad or something? tel me cuz i would like to help out ur website
A: The best way to help the site and submit a guide would be to join the Forum and just post the guides there. That way, other players can discuss your guides and suggest things that you may have missed. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agr11
Q: VERY helpful site! The tips have gotten me through many quests. I've got two questions for you...
1) Another player started talking trash to me by quoting me my own skill levels in different catagories (mining level, strength level, etc.) How was he able to access that information? Can someone view someones elses levels?
2) If you are attacked in the wilderness and you are able to defeat the attacker do you still end up with a skull and cross bones over your head?
A:
1) On the RuneScape site is a link to the Hiscores, which allows you to search for other players and see their current stats, as long as they have at least level 30 in that skill. Most likely, he just went to the RuneScape main page and searched for your name to see your skill levels.
2) No, as long as you're not the one who starts the fight or attacks first, you won't receive a skull.

Chris 300,000
Q: Sal! I have a big problem! Ever since the new Runescape loader came out, it lags a lot and almost whenever it says "Loading-please wait", it soon says "we have lost the connection. Attempting to re-establish"! The worlds closest to my home are usually packed (I was told it's best to use them) and all the other worlds still lag! Please help or I may quit Runescape!
A: If everything was ok before, it sounds like there's a problem with your computer. To be more specific, it sounds like your computer either: a) doesn't have enough memory; or b) is too slow. You can easily upgrade your memory, but it's more difficult to install new processor to increase it's speed. Try playing on Low Detail instead to see if that makes a difference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zackool73
Q: First of all, sorry for the double-question, and I forgot to say that your runescape website rocks. Secondly, I am a runescape newb, therefore my questions will be rather stupid (possibly like the one I am about to ask you...) Finally, the question! I was wondering, would a pure mage still be a pure mage if it had prayer points? ~Runescape newb
A: No, if you have prayer points, you're not a pure. This is because prayer brings your combat level up.

Q: first, ur site is so cool i have it minimized hile i play and its my homepage!!!!My question is where its the kalphite dungeon i cant find it on the map plz send awnswer to my email(dont post email part)
A: The Kalphite Dungeon can be found just west of the Shantay Pass in the desert, and you'll see an "!" to mark it's location on the map. You'll need a rope to climb down and be sure to bring some good weapons and armor!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jar Sendor
Q: Hey sal, great site, I use it a lot. I have one quick question. I was doing the plauge city quest, and inside the mourners base, I searched a crate. Inside I found a rusty sword. Is this an item for a quest, or what? This has been bugging me, and I just wanted to know.
A: Rusty Swords aren't for any current quests, but you can bring them to a man in the Khazard Port to have them polished. Sometimes you'll get a regular sword like Iron or Mithril, but other times you'll get an Antique Sword. Antique Swords have no real use and he'll buy them for around 2,000gp each.

Q: WILL YOU PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!!!!!!! I've sent in like 20 and waited and waited for answers and mine were not among them!!!!! humph! n e way how can i get people to stop attacking me in the wildy? im tryin to get chaoses with emty inventory but idiots keep attacking me even wen i say ive got an emty 1 r they stupid or r they just killin me for fun? or do they not beleive me? plz plz plz tell me what i should say or do!
A: There really isn't a way to stop others from attacking you in the Wilderness. It's supposed to be a dangerous place and PKers will attack anyone, whether they may get something from you or not. Of course, the best way to keep people from attacking you is usually to be stronger than them, but that doesn't always work.

Q: My brother is a member for only a few days and he really wants to know were you can buy coloured boots and gloves. I can't help him, I hope you can.
A: The new colored gloves and boots can be bought from the Clothing Shop in Canifis, but only after completing the Priest in Peril Quest. There are also Gnome Boots and clothing in the Gnome Stronghold, northwest of Ardougne.

Q: You haven't awnserd any of my questions before but... I guess I will try agian. Where can you get a rune full helm and/or scimitar (I AM A NON-MEMBER)

Kraid64
Q: I have some questions
1. how come you dont answer my other qusstions!!!!
2.My friend has colored robes but he said he got them in gnome village not in the canifs is there other colored robes shops?
3.even though im not a member if you die in castle wars do you end up in lumbridge? sorry that took so long
A:
1) I can't always answer every question that I get, but I try to answer the most important questions. If you're question isn't answered, it could be because the answer can be found on another Q&A page, or in a guide on the site. Questions that don't make sense will not be answered. I don't purposly refuse to answer your questions, it's just that I can't possibly answer every question that gets submitted. You can always submit the question again if it wasn't answered before.
2) Currently you can buy robes and clothing from Canifis and the Tree Gnome Village. Canifis has darker colored clothing, while the Gnomes sell brighter pastel-like colored clothes.
3) If you die during Castle Wars, you'll just find yourself in the waiting room of the room, but you won't lose anything.
