Top Runescape Staking Tips

I am actually against staking. In my opinion it is the closest thing to gambling we have in Runescape and it is just as addictive and devastating. So the best tip I can give you: simply don't do it...

However, if you choose to ignore my advice, here are a few recent articles with best of breed Runescape staking tips: one from the Informer and another from Runescape Bits.

Flower Game

Have you seen people planting flowers near the entrance of the GE? It's been going on for a while, but only now I realized what exactly is happening there. Gambling and Scamming! Mostly gambling, as far as I could observe, but the one which is easily turned into scamming too.

Basically, players ("flower planters") collecting bets on a color of the next flower. There is about 1x7 chance to guess the color right, but the bet-to-prize ratio offered is usually 1x5 (here goes "casino" approach), plus the "flower planters" can always walk away and don't pay the prize if they choose so (that's where the scamming part starts). And flowers add the charm of innocence to the whole affair. Sick.

I doubt Jagex will do anything about it - after all this kind of staff is a natural by-product of the free trade update, but be aware about it and don't fall for this scam. Speaking of which, check out this useful page about RS cheats and scams from RS Wiki and be safe.

Duel Arena changes and end of Staking

There is a lot of controversy about this update. Many players complain and overall frustration is in the air. However, I stay with Steve on this one. This is a GOOD update - yet another one to make the game healthier and safer. Bye-bye to nurturing gambling addiction in the game.
