Runescape Mini Game FAQs Ⅰ

Q: When I try to put ore on the conveyor belt, it doesn't let me, why?
A: You are trying to smelt too many ores at one time. Finish up your other ores and try again.

Q: The ore seller doesn't seem to restock right. He'll get 30 of one type of ore, but none of the others, is this a glitch?
A: No, this is not a glitch. The game has it set up where the dwarves bring in from about 20 to 40 ores of a random kind in to the merchant, which goes to restock the shop if the amount of that ore is less than 100.

Q: Why doesn't the guy who sells armour restock? What does "player-fed" mean?
A: He does not restock because he only sells what he's bought from other players. This is what it's meant by player-fed. This is the same system taken by the general stores.

Q: Why am I not getting smithing experience?
A: Perhaps nobody is smelting anything, the workers only get smithing experience if there are people smelting. The gauge checker does not get any experience though.

Q: Can I make cannonballs with the blast furnace?
A: No, you can only smelt ores into bars here.

Q: If we sink do we lose our stuff?
A: No. You will not lose your stuff. You will simply wash up on the shore near the Tower Of Life. You will be hit for a low amount of damage. If you do not know how to get off the boat, you must "Climb-on" a barrel. If you are still stuck, simply log out and log back in.

Q: Can I do the trawler alone?
A: Yes, one can do the trawler alone but it is extremely difficult and you are unlikely to get the most out of it. Getting friends to help you or going to world 116 would get you the best result for trawler.

Q: How come I did not catch any fish?
A: Possibly the net was not fixed long enough to catch some fish, or you were just unlucky. Be sure to check the net on the dock for your haul.

Q: What world is best to find people doing trawler without me getting my friends/acquaintances?
A: World 116, the official fishing trawler world.

Q: Is this a good way to raise your cooking level?
A: No, it's quite slow experience. There is more running than there is cooking.

Q: Can I only win one Gnomeball at a time?
A: Yes, but there is a bank nearby that you can use to bank your Gnomeball.

Q: Can you die?
A: Yes.

Q: Is there a thieving level requirement needed to loot the imps?
A: No. However, a higher thieving level will stop imp defenders freeing your trapped implings.

Q: Why is there nobody rebuilding the temple on my world?
A: Not many people choose to burn shades, but the official world, world 77, usually has enough players building it to make it possible to burn shades.

Q: Is this mini game a very popular one?
A: Sometimes. On world 77, there are usually enough people that know how to build/protect the temple. So, yes, it most likely is a popular mini game on that certain world.

Q: Why can I not enter Sophanem?
A: If you have started Icthlarin's Little Helper, you can enter by going through the cave near the quest start location. If you have finished the quest, try opening the gate. If that fails, talk to the guards, and if that too fails, try entering through the aforementioned cave.

Q: Should I complete the quest 'Contact!'?
A: Yes, finishing Contact! is really useful afterwards for training in the Pyramid Plunder. There is a bank under the most north-east building, just climb down the ladder. Also this quest gives you a chance to use the altar, which is located at the start and end point of Contact!.

Q: Is it worth buying the Sceptre before starting plundering?
A: It is recommended, as you can easily teleport to the Guardian Mummy, if you're not near the pyramid and is also effective if you don't want to waste your time searching the right door.
