FARMING!
The Forgettable Tale... Posted by Rathofdoom
Posted at 26th July 2005, 23:16PM (GMT +1000)
Edit: Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf Quest Guide
Taken From RuneScape.com:
Return to Keldagrim in Part 2 of the Rise of the Red Axe! What happened after the player helped to rebuild The Giant Dwarf in the previous quest in the series? Was the director of the Red Axe just making idle threats at the Consortium meeting? Does he have any special plans for the dwarven capital of Keldagrim? And is the city really about to be invaded by an army of kebabs, as one particularly drunken dwarf claims? Visit him and listen to the Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf!
This part of the dwarf campaign features a particuarly fiendish puzzle, further development to the Red Axe storyline and yet more exciting dwarf cutscenes. This quest is a replacement for the gardening quest mentioned in the behind the scenes document earlier this month. Sadly the seeds we ordered haven't been delivered on time so we will all have to wait a few weeks to help the Queen of Varrock and her weed-ridden garden. Fortunately the Forgettable Tale which was scheduled for August is ready now, so we've still got a great update for you this week.
Other Changes
If you have completed the Recruitment Drive quest and chosen to set your respawn point to Falador, you will now go to Falador rather than Lumbridge if you are saved by a Ring of Life. Previously the Ring of Life always took players to Lumbridge regardless of their chosen respawn point.

Finally, the day of doom has come upon us. Ironically, whilst firenimmo is skinning up the forums with SupaPhat and getting everything in order. Madcoder has wiped everything off that server, so no going back there ever, just bare with us whilst waiting for the RW Forums.
I estimate the new RW Forums will be up in a week at least, 2 weeks at most.
Bare with us whilst we try to rush the forums up, but it will take time.
(Note: Firenimmo will edit this and take out this note if he feels my estimation is wrong or right. Anyway, check back in for a more accurate estimation.)
Please check the site periodically for guides on new quests, etc. and an update on the progress or release of the RuneWeb Forums.
R.I.P. RuneNews
P.S. The Kalphite Queen Trip planned on Saturday 23rd of July is canceled due to being unable to organize it through the forums.
Those of you who would often use our forums may currently use the IRC Chat to talk with us. Click here: RuneWeb IRC
EDIT [firenimmo]: Can all RuneNews moderators and other staff contact Firenimmo in IRC (use the above link, or mIRC) as soon as possible, thanks.

edit: Mourning's End Part 1 Quest Guide
Taken from runescape.com:
At last the time has come to continue the Plague City story in this long-awaited sequel, Mourning's Ends Part 1. It seems at last Arianwyn has found a use for your skills. Talk to Eluned, the roving elf, and she will show you the way to the Elven village of Lletya where Arianwyn awaits your arrival.
For those of you who need a recap on the story so far, a chat with Elena after you start the quest would be very helpful.
Other Changes
Guthix, in his wisdom, has decreed that the Tears of Guthix shall henceforth be able to help adventurers gain Farming xp.
--
Also it seems Jagex have released a [pretty decent] new desktop wallpaper featuring the Temple of Iban, it's in the Extra Files section of their web site.

FARMING! Posted by Seiferoth
Posted at 11th July 2005, 22:28PM (GMT +1000)
Taken From RuneScape.com:
Today we have introduced the long-awaited and much-discussed new skill for members - the Farming skill!
The Farming skill allows you to grow a wide range of resources from seed to harvest, for use in the Cooking, Herblore and Crafting skills, as well as simply growing your own food. The skill centres around a new addition to the world of RuneScape - the Farming patch. There are a number of different types of patch - vegetable, tree and herb patches being some of these - and are located right across the world map, indicated by a new spade icon. You may find that the patches are rather overgrown with weeds to start with, so keep your rake handy.
You will only see the crops you have grown yourself in the farming patches. You won't see other peoples. Otherwise the farming patches would always be full of other people's crops and you wouldn't be able to grow anything.
There are four main areas where you can get started: near Falador, Catherby, Ardougne and Port Phasmatys. There are Farming shops close by each of these areas, which stock all the tools that you will need to start cultivating your crops. If the shops run out of stock there are gardeners near these patches that you can buy some of the tools from. The gardeners are also more than pleased to give out Farming advice, being experts in their field.
We have filled the Farming skill up with many types of crop for you to grow, and details of these and their skill-level requirements can be found by clicking on the in-game skill guide, and also on the manual page.
Along with the Farming skill we have updated a number of existing skills, key among these being the new 'Brewing' section of the Cooking skill. You will find breweries in Keldagrim and Port Phasmatys where you can start fermenting your own ales. We have added a number of new types of ale that can't be bought from RuneScape's inns, all of which have their own unique side-effects.
High-level herblorists will now be able to mix extra-strong and super-strong antidotes and weapon poisons, which contain some of the more toxic plants that can be grown using the Farming skill.
You can now craft fruit baskets and vegetable sacks to carry lots of certain sorts of fruit and vegetables at once (for details see Crafting).
Using the Magic skill you can now make and enchant a new amulet of nature to help you keep track of one of your farming patches. You can only have one amulet of nature at a time.
The introduction of Farming to the civilised world has also attracted a couple of other Master Farmers, both of whom have deep pockets full of seeds and a casual disregard for strangers. The last thing we heard is that they were hanging around near Varrock and Ardougne, and being Master Farmers they're probably not too far afield from a field.
Good luck, tend to your patches, and don't get your fingers shut in the compost bin!
Other Changes
The Salute emote has been changed in response to feedback from players.
We've also made a change to the way you get milk in RuneScape. New "Dairy Cows" have been added to the various fields where there are cows. These have a left-click "Milk Dairy Cow" option, although you can use buckets on them as before.
