Did You Know That?

...Climbing boots give you a strength bonus of +2? They are the only boots (apart from Rune Boots) that give a +2 strength bonus and they come very cheap. Furthermore, Climbing boots are great when you are up against opponents with magic based attacks, seeing as they won't hamper your magic defence like Rune boots. So if you don’t need that extra defence bonus from your Metal boots or can’t afford Rune Boots you should consider the Climbing boots. They can be obtained at the Troll Stronghold area for less than 20gp.

Safety Tips

Password Crackers
Password crackers refers to people being able to guess your password, either directly or with the help of algorithms. Anyone can crack a simple password, particularly one that is similar to account name or name in real life. In order to minimize the crackability you should use a random set of numbers, letters and capital letters. The password should be at least 8 characters of length, or possibly a phrase that fills the entire password space if that is easier to remember. You should be aware that a person with access to certain algorithms and some of your personal information can crack your password in less than 100 tries if your password is connected to that data. Play it safe and use a unique password that can't be derived from your personal information or account name.

Safety Tips - Safety of your account

Jagex will never email you. THEY SIMPLY NEVER SEND EMAILS! They only contact you through their message system on the Runescape website. They will never ask you to login to your account via a link provided in an email and they will never ask for your password, whether it is an email or another player you encounter in-game. Just because an email says it's from admin@jagex.com or something similar, it doesn't mean that it comes from Jagex. There are ways for scammers to fake the email address appearing as sender. So you should DELETE any emails you get from "Jagex" or anyone claiming to be affiliated with them.

Safety Tips

German servers:
Avoid trades on the newly introduced German servers at all costs. Scammers put up for trade what appears to be the correct item, but it's not necessarily what it seems to be. One common example is the scam with logs (the scammer puts in trade for example oak logs instead of yew logs). Do not trade on German servers, unless You know German.
