FAQ

There are a multitude of questions which I notice are asked incredibly often and if you're a person who is willing to help others then you'll soon notice that not only are there are so many different questions, but there are questions which require a reasonable amount of explanation to answer. The point of this thread is to answer any and all questions which a player may have, and the hopes in doing so are to ensure that players are able to have their questions answered even if nobody who is online knows.

If you would like to add towards this thread, whether it be with a new question, some information which has not already been provided or both, please post a comment below and I will make sure that this thread stays updated. Any and all additions are appreciated, and you can easily find what you're looking for using the find option in your browser (Ctrl + F for Windows, Command + F for Mac). I have posted this guide before answering the questions, and this is because I would like to give you the opportunity to share your knowledge before I answer the questions myself.

1. How do you make an Amulet of Fury/Berserker Necklace?

In order to make an Amulet of Fury, you must have a Crafting level of 90, an Onyx, Gold Bar, Ball of Wool and an Amulet Mould. Once you have these items, you can walk up to any functional Furnace and use the Gold Bar on it to open the Jewelry menu. Click on the Onyx Amulet, then use your Ball of Wool on it to string it. Now, you have an Amulet of Fury.

To instead make a Berserker Necklace, you must have a Crafting level of 82, an Onyx, Gold Bar and a Necklace Mould. Much like the Fury, you simply walk up to any functional Furnace, use the Gold Bar on it and select the Onyx Necklace from the Jewelry Menu. This makes an Onyx Necklace, and once you use the level 87 Magic spell "Lvl-6 Enchant" on it, it becomes a Berserker Necklace.

2. How do I get to the Living Rock Caverns?

To enter the Living Rock Caverns, you must have a rank of Donator or higher and must have completed the quest "King's Errand". If you meet these requirements, it's as simple as using the command ::lrc and climbing down the Rope. Refer to the following guide for more information.

http://forum.hydrascape.net/index.php?/topic/90-living-rock-caverns-guide-rocktails/

3. Where do I buy capes from?

You can buy capes from the Fairy Shopkeeper located at the Grand Exchange and you can get there using ::ge.

4. How do I get to the star locations?

There are several locations which Shooting Stars fall at. Refer to the following guide for more information.

http://forum.hydrascape.net/index.php?/topic/6-mattys-shooting-star-guide/

5. Where do I train combat?

You can train combat anywhere that you can perform combat. There are specific locations for doing just this, such as Rock Crabs, however some mini-games offer a large experience boost to combat skills. For example, Pest Control will provide you with 10 times the amount of experience you would normally receive and this stacks with other experience modifiers (such as donating rank, and any 2x experience buffs that you have activated including server double experience). To get to Rock Crabs, simply use the ::train command and select Rock Crabs. Otherwise, you can almost do whatever you want in regards to training combat.

6. I need help with a clue.

If you're finding that your clue is too difficult for you to solve, the reason either being that you can't find the location, you simply don't know what to do, or you can't be bothered figuring it out, you can search for your clue on either of the clue guides (for easy, medium and hard clues, use ::cluehelp).

If your clue is broken - that is, it isn't actually a clue and instead says something along the lines of "The quick fox jumped over the lazy brown dog", then there isn't much of anything that you can do other than to get a new clue. Refer to the following guide for more information:

9. How do I start Crafting?

Crafting is started the same way that you normally would. You can either make Leather Gloves or cut Opals, but since obtaining Opals is far more difficult than obtaining the materials required to make Leather gloves that method is often ignored. Refer to the following guide for more information:

http://forum.hydrascape.net/index.php?/topic/40-yukis-crafting-guide/

26. What's the fastest way to get tokens/xp in Dungeoneering?

Arguably, the fastest way to get tokens in Dungeoneering is to choose Solo mode, have the easiest difficulty and the most amount of floors. For the highest amount of experience, you instead choose to have a Dungeoneering group and have the highest difficulty. Again, use the highest amount of floors.

27. Where can I get a Slayer Task at?

You can get a Slayer task by talking to any Slayer master. To find one, enter your Quest Tab, click Slayer Teleports and choose Slayer Masters.

28. Are there differences between tasks and masters?

Higher level Slayer masters will provide you with tasks with harder monsters. These, generally, will give more experience, however the duration of the task is what determines how many points are given for that task. For example, all easy tasks give the same amount of Slayer points upon completion, regardless of which Slayer master assigned you the task.

29. Where can I get Cooking Gauntlets?

You can get Cooking Gauntlets by purchasing them at the Crafting Guild for 5m, or by completing the quest "Cook's Assistant". Refer to the following guide for more information:
