Okay, okay, back on topic people. I just recieved a wire from Loggy who is basking in the sun on some forbidden beach in Hawaii stressed to the max over another minor situation: Quest Guides. Let's see what's wrong with them, and help our sunburned stressed Loggy with yet another issue.

Thanks! With the community's help we're going to make our deadline!

Crafting

Under Pottery:

QUOTE

To make pottery, mine Clay from various mines, and use them with water (Bowl of Water, Bucket of Water, et al) to make Soft Clay. Use this Soft Clay at a Pottery Wheel to mold a piece of pottery and then use it at the nearby Kiln to finish the pottery piece.

Under Nature Amulet:

QUOTE

There is an special amulet that you can make

Should it not say "There is a special amulet that you can make?


Woodcutting


Under Trees:

QUOTE

There is also a wide selection of trees in Runescape. Free players can cut down all trees excluding the Maple, Hollow and Magic varieties.

You should also add teak and mahogany.

Achey Trees

You could also add that they are the only trees you can use to make ogre arrows.

Oak Trees

You could also add that they are the main plank used to lvl construction

Mys~: The Construction guide should mention it. It's a personal opinion after all.

Nests

QUOTE

It requires 81 Herblore to make, but if you do not have the level, hold on to the potion.

Do you mean hold onto the nest?

Woodcutting Leveling Tips

Level 30-45

QUOTE

Start chopping Willow Trees, and use the logs to raise your Fletching and/or Firemaking levels, or for sale.

I'd change it to "...and/or Firemaking levels, or to sell"

level 60-75

QUOTE

or chop down Maples for more cash inSeers Village and the surrounding areas

Forgot a space between "in" and "Seers"

Would you like to go to a site, looking for help, just to find words that you have to google to understand the meaning? I don't think so. I just figured that it would be in the best interest of the readers to change it to something that, most understand right off the bat, and thanks.


Thieving

QUOTE

Thieving is a skill where you can steal money and items. There's a few ways to use this skill: pickpocketing, picking locks on chests and doors, disarming traps and most importantly stealing from stalls. Theiving can be dangerous due to what may happen if you are caught theiving, but rewarding if done right.

How about There are a few ways to train this skill:

QUOTE

Rogue's Den Wallsafes | [Lvl-?] | 70 | Rogue's Den Random gems and gp

I do believe 50 thieveing is required.

Smithing

QUOTE

There exist items and a spell in RuneScape that can assist players with Smelting, these are detailed below.

That line is odd, how about "There are aspects of Runescape to assist players with Smelting, these are described below."

QUOTE

Popular Furnace Locations

- Lumbridge, north of castle
- Al Kharid, north of bank
- Falador, town center
- North of Edgeville, level 25 wilderness
- Port Phantasmys (Amulet of Ghostspeak required)

How about saying it is reccomended because it isn't required.

It is required if you have not finished the quest. It is not require if the quest has been completed but it takes longer to access the bank.

It's not that I don't want to change words in favor for readers, I'm just unwilling to change the guide due to a certain... thing that might blow up. If it's was technically correct, I would've left it alone. But since Baakalor asked to change, it wouldn't mind if it did blow up. So, I've done it. Bleh.

There are a few changes that i would make to the requirements part of the "horror from the deep"

Some people (including me) read the top of the guide get everything it lists and then goes questing. Using the guide for horror of the deep I was greatly inconvenienced
because of certain things that were not mentioned in the guide

-it failed to mention that runes were necessary to kill the dagannoth mother because 4 of her 6 forms are only vulnerable to magic so it makes it extremely hard to kill her without using magic.
-it also failed to mention any strategy on killing the queen mainly concering prayer (they do not work at all; if you protect from melee she uses range and vice versa).
-combat gear of any kind is never mentioned.
-food is never mentioned
-it is never mention that the 1 air, 1 fire, 1 earth, 1 water, 1 arrow, and the sword cannot be retrieved.

here is what I would add to it:
-100 death runes
-150 of each fire earth water
-wear splitbark armour protecting from range (as splitbark gives very little range defense); this forces the queen to attack you with melee
-air staff
-decent melee weapon
-that the items listed above cannot be retreived (it said any sword so i took my d-long, because it never said anything about being unable to retrieve it).
-fill your remaining inventory with high level food (sharks recommended)
-strategy for the mother: wearing your splitbark and air staff use the specific spell that will damager her, once she become venerable to melle swith to your melee wepon of choice and attack. Once she become vulnerable to range just wait until she becomes vulnerable to either magic or melee (this is to save inventory for the food you will need). use protect from range in order to force her to use melee against splitbark so you are still decently protected from taking an excesive amount of damage.

--I hope this is helpful to the content team--

Oh what the...

I leave for a few weeks and you arses are dumbing everything down.

We do NOT cater to the mentally vacant here. You want to be a brain-dead drone, go to bloody tipit or whatever. If you don't know what phrases like 'et al' mean, I question your ability to function in modern society.

Um...FBX

Just so you know,

Etc., et al- In strict usage, et cetera (and the rest) is neuter and so can refer only to things, and et alia (and others) can refer only to persons.

I don't think Mr. and Mrs. Bucket of Water appreciate that very much <3

To add something else to Horror from the Deep errors, you should add that the Barcrawl miniquest is required for the quest.

I can see why you had trouble; things were kind of misleading. I've fixed it, thanks.

no problem, and when you did edit it you said only the sword was unalbe to be retreived. what i meant was that the air rune, the fire rune, the water rune, the earth rune, and the arrow are all unable to retreived, not just the sword. just though i would let you know .
