This guide is for free players.So if you’re a free player, we’ve got some great news for you, The popular browser-based MMORPG RuneScape has released an upgrade to the game labeled RuneScape HD. In this case, HD stands for “high detail” rather than “high definition,” but the end result is the same: better visuals.RuneScape HD is available to everyone! The Beta period is over, so both free players and members can access the new-look RuneScape. Not only that, but free players and members can get their hands on some new releases, the bank update, Item Lending and a number of Lumbridge changes that are mentioned at the bottom of this newspost.

Please be aware that the fullscreen mode of RuneScape HD is NOT currently available to free players, it continues to be a members-only benefit. We are looking at the possibility of a fullscreen mode for free players, with adverts displaying in the fullscreen window; for now, however, RuneScape HD’s range of graphical improvements are ready to be explored by everyone.

To find out how to play RuneScape in high detail, please visit the release newspost here.

If you are having issues with running RuneScape HD or would like more technical information about the update, visit the RuneScape HD FAQs here. You can also visit the Technical Support Forum for various threads that may help you.

We would also like to thank you for the wealth of comments, compliments and feedback we have received over the past couple of weeks. It is down to you that many small graphical issues have been resolved, with a number of changes being introduced in the update today.

This does not mean that we will ignore any feedback from now on, far from it, in fact. We welcome any constructive comments, to help us to continually improve RuneScape HD and make it as good as it can be.

This Week’s Releases:

On top of the full release of RuneScape HD, we have a bumper lot of updates that will benefit both free players and members:

First up is our bank update, which brings you tabs and a search function, among other changes, to help you organise your bank. Up to eight separate tabs can be created to help clear your banking mess.

Item Lending is next, bringing you a new way to help your friends! You can lend out a wide range of handy items, including many of RuneScape’s best weapons and armour.

We’ve gone back to the drawing board and completely reworked the tutorial: from the creation of your character right through to your first explorations of RuneScape.

In return for completing some tasks, you can receive a modest, but prompt, payment from various people in our Lumbridge Moneymaking update. So, if you’re feeling poor, the people of Lumbridge will help you to recover your finances, in return for a little hard work.

Finally, this week brings the free game’s first Achievement Diary. Travel to Explorer Jack to start your Lumbridge and Draynor Achievement Diary.

I hope there are helpful for the free players.Hmm,Good Luck!

Pet Cats
There’s not much more rewarding in life than raising a pet and seeing it develop into adulthood. In RuneScape, of course, this can mean raising a kitten from being a cute ball of fur to the dizzy heights of wily cats and their supreme vermin-catching skills. Yes, cats in RuneScape are a bit more exciting than your next door neighbour’s kitty.

Where to get your cat
Gertrude, who lives just west of Varrock, is a bit of a cat fanatic. Her own cat, Fluffs, also provides her with regular litters of kittens. In order to own a kitten, or any other type of cat, you must have completed the Gertrude’s Cat quest. When you complete this, Gertrude will give you your first kitten.
If you lose your kitten, or you want a new kitten later on, come back to Gertrude and she will sell you one for 100 coins.
 
Looking after your cat
There are five main types of cat: kitten, grown cat, overgrown cat, wily cat and lazy cat. If you want your kitten to develop further you must take care of it. If you fail to feed your kitten, or pay too little attention to it, it will run away and never come back. It’s a lucky thing, then, that looking after your cat is so easy.
Kittens can be fed any fish, cooked or uncooked (except for seasoned sardines - they don’t share their mother’s taste for spicy food. Also note that seaweed, edible or otherwise, is not a fish), as well as milk. They will also eat any rats they catch, but kittens are too young to be very good at this, so it pays to keep some fish or milk handy
Kittens also require a bit of attention, which is really very simple. Right-clicking the kitten and selecting ‘Interact with Kitten’ will allow you to then select ‘Stroke’, which keeps any kitten happy. You can also get a ball of wool to entertain your cat; simply use the ball of wool on your cat and it will merrily play with it. They will also play with plain wool, but will destroy it as it plays.
All cats enjoy hunting rats, and you can do this anywhere you see ordinary level 1 rats running about. Simply right-click on your cat and select ‘Interact with’, before choosing ‘Chase’. Kittens are not very good at hunting rats, but they improve as grown cats, and improve again as wily cats.
If you would prefer to keep your cat away from flea-infested rats, you might like to go to your house and make some clockwork mice in your workshop. Like ordinary rats, your cat will hunt clockwork mice. Be aware that your cat will also destroy them, so you might like to make a few if you plan on training your cat in this way.
No cat ages in your inventory or in the bank, so in order for them to develop you need to take them out into the world. Once your kitten has been active for a sufficient period of time (so, not in your inventory or bank) it will transform into a fully grown cat. Grown cats are better at catching rats and require no more feeding or attention.
After a further period, your cat will transform into an overgrown cat. Overgrown cats cannot hunt rats except in the rat pits, and they will only transform into a wily cat if you take them to be trained by Felkrash, in the Port Sarim rat pit.

You may only upgrade an overgrown cat to a wily cat if you have completed the Rat Catchers quest.
Wily cats are the finest of all hunting cats, and can also run quite quickly. When your cat becomes a mighty wily cat, they also learn how to hunt creatures other than rats: wily cats can hunt kalphite larvae (in the Kalphite Lair) and butterflies. If your wily cat does not get enough exercise, though, it will become a lazy cat.
Lazy cats are not as athletic as wily cats, and can only hunt rats, but they can be retrained to become wily cats again. Should your wily cat become lazy, merely spend some time taking him hunting to work off his excess fat and your cat should transform back into a wily cat. The more time you spend at once exercising your lazy cat, the sooner it will be back to its energetic, wily state.
If you ever tire of your kitten or cat you can rid yourself of them by right-clicking on them, selecting ‘Interact with’ and then choosing ‘Shoo-away’. If you do this the cat will never return, so be very sure that you want to rid yourself of it.
You can own many cats at once, but there are a couple of limitations. You may own as many overgrown cats as you can handle, but only one kitten or grown cat, and only one wily or lazy cat.

Runescape Glitches & Bugs
Throughout the history of Runescape, players have discovered glitches some that are no big deal and some that caused nothing but havoc. Below are only some of the known glitches of Runescape that have been found in the past.

Completing Dragon Slayer With No Magic
As you may know, level 31+ magic is required in order to cast telekinetic grab on one of the map pieces for Dragon Slayer. However, these map pieces were once tradable during Runescape Classic, which meant a pure could buy the map piece and kill Elvarg without getting the necessary magic level in the future. The only way to get the map piece was during the Beta version of Runescape 2, when a player could transfer his/her items from Runescape Classic. This made it possible for someone to transfer the map piece that was meant to be dropped by Wormbrain, the goblin. Since the Beta version of Runescape 2 was only temporary, only a few pures that have a rune platebody are left.

 
 
The Runescape Knife Glitch
An old glitch in Runescape Classic allowed a player to hit WAY higher than he/she would be capable of without using the glitch. To do this, you would have to fill your inventory with knives and a weapon. You would then drop the weapon while walking, which wasn’t possible in Runescape Classic. This caused your character to equip the knife, which would add to your weapon’s strength. This meant that someone with 10 strength and a bronze axe could hit at least 25!

The Runescape Pink Party Hat Dupe (November 7, 2003)
Nowadays, people may tell you that they can duplicate an item and make you rich. That is not possible anymore, but this Runescape glitch was in the past! Before, there was a minor bug in Jagex’s code, which a few people found out and took advantage of. This bug allowed any non-stackable item to be duplicated, which meant these people could use the identification code of expensive items and make as many as they wanted. Soon enough, the magenta partyhat (people called them pink) moved from being the most expensive partyhat to the cheapest partyhat. The magenta partyhat moved from about 5 million gold to only 200k gold in a matter of days and caused a big dent in the economy. Apparently, these newly duplicated items looked exactly like the original, so Jagex couldn’t tell who had the real partyhats and who didn’t. Now to this day, the magenta partyhats are now of a darker shade and are still the cheapest partyhat because there are a lot more of them than the other partyhats.

The Falador Massacre (June 6, 2006)
On the “day of the devil,” was the day Cursed You was celebrating his accomplishment of achieving level 99 construction before everyone else on Runescape. However, it wasn’t all fun and games when some people found a glitch that let them go playerkilling outside of the wilderness. Durial321 and a couple others used this bug to attack and kill people scattered across Falador. People lost all sorts of valuable items because of this bug and soon demanded a rollback. Apparently, this memorable catastrophe occurred during the middle of the night for most of Jagex staff members. It was too late to have a rollback, but Jagex did what they could and eventually had Durial321 banned, possibly along with others. Sadly, the people killed that day did not receive their lost items back, but Jagex will do what they can to make sure this won’t happen again.

Other Runescape Bugs & Glitches
In the month of January 2007, a rollback occurred, which affected a handful of members playing at the time. This meant that the last few hours were practically erased completely, and all the things that players did in that time were gone. In addition to experience lost, it was reported that some items were duplicated in the process. For example, if someone were to sell a white partyhat to someone else during this time, the seller would get to keep the white partyhat and the money while the buyer also had a white partyhat.

During late March 2007, there were several small graphic glitches and so Jagex staff used to Wise Old Man to fix them. It appeared that they coded the character of this NPC to “watch over” the glitches and make sure they didn’t happen again. One example was in world 82, where many people were able to walk on the water by Catherby fishing spots. Mod Ash soon patched up the problem and stuck the Wise Old Man there and made him run some code to fetch stuck people out of the water. There were also a few hidden system updates were Jagex quickly fixed the bugs and put the Wise Old Man back in Draynor.

In addition to the Runescape glitches stated above, there are also quite a few of unusual things someone can do while in a player owned house. For example, there is one glitch where a player can eat quickly while sitting down and be able to move their character in the seat itself! There are also other house glitches where one can attack someone else in a dungeon even though player-vs-player (PVP) mode is off. These bugs on Runescape are not reported to be harmful but we do not promote doing this since it can be considered Bug Abuse, which is against Rule 4 in the game.
