Meet Orion

According to myth, Orion was the son of Poseidon the sea god and Euryale, daughter of King Minos of Crete, a great huntress. Poseidon gave Orion the power to walk on water. Homer in the Odyssey describes Orion as a giant hunter, armed with an unbreakable club of solid bronze. In the sky, the hunter’s dogs follow at his heels, in pursuit of the hare.

Orion inherited his mothers talent, and became the greatest hunter in the world. Unfortunately for him, with his immense strength came an immense ego, and he boasted that he could best any animal on earth. In response to his vanity, a single small scorpion stung him and killed him.

Mining and Smithing guide

Here are some of my mining tips along with some of my favorite mining spots. Save all your ores to work on smithing. Mine lots of stars all the way to level 99 and beyond, see my star hunting guide on this website. Two familiars do give an invisible mining boost. Obsidian Golem lvl 73 gives a +7 mining boost and the Lava Titan lvl 83 gives a +10 mining boost.

Varrock Armour gives a mining boost.

level 1-20 mine copper and tin in Varrock.

level 21-77 mine mostly iron, but you can mine any other ores and save them if you want.

If you have at least 15 dungeonering you can bank in the resource dungeon, where there is a deposit box. There are 3 iron ores right outside the door to the resource dungeon and there are 13 coal ore inside the resouce dungeon. I find I level faster with iron and you can get lots of coal when you get to level 77 mining.

Another favorite spot is outside living rock caverns where there are two iron ores. You can climb down the rope and use the deposit box inside the cavern.

A spot I haven't used much is at the mine outside Piscatoris fishing colony. There are 3 iron ores in a triangle and you don't have to move at all you can just mine and drop for fast levels.

I myself never liked mining at the granite quarry but many people mine there for very good experience. You can tele to a bank and deposit your granite or just drop it for faster exp. Granite sells well because it is used for summoning.

Once you reach 77 mining you can start mining in living rock caverns. At 77 you can mine coal and at 80 you can mine gold. There is a deposit box in the cavern and you should save all your ores for smithing later. World 84 or world 77 are safer for living rock cavern because they are crowded worlds and it makes it safer to mine. You will get hit sometimes so I don't recommend AFKing down there. As long as you are paying attention you should be safe to mine.

One of my favorite mines is the one in Keldagrim. You need to complete Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf to use the mine. I take the cart from the GE to get to Keldagrim. There are two runite ores and 10 adamantite as well as several gold ores. I spent many hours mining here and saving all the ores I could to smith with.

This is the video I made to celebrate my first 99 They took away my music so just play your own when you watch it

SMITHING

This is where you will start using the ores you have mined.
level 1-5 make bronze bars
level 5-15 smith bronze bars into arrowheads
level 15 make iron bars, use ring of forging

level 22 smith iron bars into knives
level 40-99 make gold bars using gold smithing gauntlets obtained from Family Crest quest.
level 68 smith mithril plates if you have any mithril ore in your bank
level 73-99 smith addy bolts or arrow tips. Fletch them for fletching exp if you want.

If you have saved the ores you have mined it should be an easy road to 99 ^_^ good luck!

Herblore Habitat

INTRODUCTION

Special notes: You can get strange rocks while playing this mini game.

When harvesting herbs with the Farming Juju potion you get the chance of harvesting two herbs at once. If this happens when you have only one inventory spot open the extra herb will fall on the ground. Don't leave a farming spot before you check for herbs on the ground.

This mini game trains three skills together farming, herblore and hunting. The habitat is an inexpensive way to train herblore.
To be able to train the three skills at the core of the Herblore Habitat, you will need a Farming level of at least 54, a Hunter level of 70 and a Herblore level of 54. Since Farming is the skill with which you can train all other skills, you must have a Farming level of 54 to get any benefit from the Herblore Habitat. In order to obtain all 3 rewards, you must have (81 Hunter), (77 Farming), (75 Herblore) and (55 agility). Boosts can be used.

If you wish to construct your own environmental features in the habitat - rather than paying Papa Mambo to make them - you will need between level 56 -80 construction. You don’t need to bring a hammer and saw for them. Papa Mambo will ask for between 56,000-80,000 coins to build a feature. To avoid the high cost of Papa Mambo building for you, get an assist from a player with 80 plus construction.

There is a deposit box available to the south of the habitat.

You can teleport to the habitat or walk there from the Shilo area.
To buy a teleport speak to Bettamax in Taverly near the house portal. The teleports are around 2k each. Once you have earned a witchdoctor mask, you can tele to the habitat for free using the mask.
Also bring a teleport to get out when you're done because it is in a remote location. You can always home teleport if you need to. Bring some money for supplies. Also make sure the farming leprechaun is holding all your farming tools including super compost. Talk to Astlayrix and Papa Mambo to get started he will give you a few free seeds to begin. You can buy more supplies from him as well.

FARMING

These seeds grow into blossoms when planted in the vine flower patches of the Herblore Habitat. Everyone who comes to the area will begin by planting these seeds, in time you will collect seeds for the vine bush and vine herb patches. You look after these farming patches in the same way all other farming patches work. The leprechaun will store the potions you make here as well. It is recomended to pay the farmer to watch your herbs, I have lost a few by not paying. Also, you do not have to wait for a fruit tree to be fully grown before replacing it.

Payments For Farmer:
Apple tree- 9 raw sweetcorn
Banana tree- 4 baskets of apples
Orange tree- 3 baskets of strawberries
Lergberry bush- 3 red vine blossom
Kalferberry bush- 3 lergberries
Erzille- 3 green vine blossom
Ugune- 3 blue vine blossom
Argway- 4 red vine blossom
Shengo- 5 Lergberries
Samaden- 5 Kalferberries

HUNTING

Hunting at the habitat will give you a number of additional seeds that you can farm with at the habitat. Details of those plants can be found below.
After planting a seed (green, red or blue blossom) Common Jadinkos will appear and you can start hunting them with the traps you buy from Papa Mambo. I haven't had any problems catching Common Jadinkos without baiting the traps. I recommend baiting the traps of the higher leveled Jadinkos as well as either smoking the trap with a torch or drinking a scentless potion. You will be able to catch more of them this way, the bait is the withered vine that you get as a drop from catching common Jadinkos.

The traps are used the same way box traps are used to catch chins. The traps look very plantlike and the Jadinkos are part lizard part plant also. Three of the jadinkos are caught by tracking using a noose wand. There are only 2 or 3 paths the Jadinko will take while you are tracking them. It will become easy if you always start at the same burrow, then it will always take the same path, this way you can catch them much quicker.

The Jadinkos will drop more seeds for you when you catch them. You won’t get a seed every time but you do get a vine every time you catch one, which are used to make potions. There are 13 different types of Jadinkos. They are each attracted to the hunting area by the smells of the plants you have planted in the farming patches. The 10 more common Jadinkos are attracted to the same plants each time.

The plants the 3 god Jadinkos are attracted to will vary each week and will have to be determined by trial and error, they are also different for each player. You choose from a tree, a vine flower, a bush and a habitat. Some also require a potion poured over the flower you have grown. If you are on the right path for a God Jadinko, you may recieve a message "You have found 3 out of the 4 types for Guthix." Upon getting all four correct entries, you will receive a message "You've attracted some Saradomin Jadinkos to the nearby island."
After you have hunted Common Jadinkos for awhile you will have collected a few types of seeds. Planting these seeds in different combinations will attract other types of Jadinkos to the area. You should try to catch one of each type each week.

Steps for catching the 10 basic Jadinkos:
1. Common - Plant a green flower
2. Carrion - Plant kalferberry bush, build a boneyard
3. Diseased - Plant a banana tree
4. Cannibal - Build tall grass, use potion on flower patch
5. Shadow - Plant red flower, build abandoned house
6. Aquatic - Build pond, plant apple tree, use potion on flower patch
7. Camouflaged - Plant lergberry bush, build standing stones, use potion on flower patch
8. Draconic - Build dark pit, use potion on flower patch
9. Amphibious - Plant blue flower, build pond
10. Igneous - Build vent, plant orange tree

These are the components to attract each Jadinko. If the component isn’t listed it isn’t required.

Common, flower trap, any flower
Shadow, tracking, red flower, abandoned house
Igneous. Flower trap, blue flower, thermal vent. Lergberry bush, orange tree
Cannibal, flower trap, Juju hunter potion, green flower, tall grass, kalferberry bush
Aquatic, flower trap, juju hunter potion, red flower, pond, kalferberry bush, apple tree
Amphibian, flower trap, blue flower, pond, lergberry bush
Carrion, flower trap, green flower, boneyard, kalferberry bush
Diseased, tracking, any flower, boneyard, banana tree
Camouflaged, tracking, Juju hunter potion, any flower, standing stones, lergberry bush
Draconic, flower trap, Juju hunter potion, red flowers, dark pit, lergberry bush

HERBLORE

Potions can be made out of the resources you collect during your hunting and farming activities in the habitat. The cauldron beside Papa mambo has water in it to use for potions or to refill watering cans. Six of the potions can be stored with the Leprechaun, the others you will store in your bank. The hunter and scentless potions are used in the herblore habitat. The hunter potion is poured on the vine blossom plant to attract certain Jadinkos. The scentless potion is one that you drink and it has the same effect that smoking the traps would have. You will catch more jadinkos by removing your scent from the area. The potions have some amazing benefits and are worth trying. I use the farming potion each time I do an herb run and in has increased my herb yields a lot. My best run so far is 72 snapdragons using the potions. I have also tried the fishing potions to catch baron shark. Cooking potions are used to make Juju gumbo which heals 320 life points and is the highest healing food currently. The woodcutting and mining potions will attract a spirit that will bank your ores or logs for you similar to the auto banking you get after the evil tree. The potions made from the god jadinkos give a 10 percent exp boost to farming, herblore and hunter as long as you are doing those activities in the habitat. I am loving the benefits of these potions.

These are the ingredients for making each potion:


Juju hunter potion, erzille, corrupt vine (Diseased Jadinko)
Scentless potion, argway, shadow vine (Shadow Jadinko)
Juju farming potion, ugune, marble vine (Igneous Jadinko)
Juju cooking potion, shengo, plant teeth (Cannibal Jadinko)
Juju fishing potion, shengo, aquatic vine (Aquatic Jadinko)
Juju woodcutting potion, samaden, oily vine (Amphibious Jadinko)
Juju mining potion, samaden, draconic vine (Draconic Jadinko)
Saradomin’s Blessing, samaden, saradomin vine
Guthix gift, samaden, guthix vine
Zamorak’s favor, samaden, zamorak vine

REWARDS

If you catch at least one of each Jadinko in one week (the reset time is the same as penguin's and the circus' reset, the shaman will tell you to come to him to receive your reward. The amount of xp earned is equal to twice as much xp you would get for turning a pair of shattered heart rocks. The first time you catch all of the normal jadinkos at least once, you will get Witchdoctor legs or Witchdoctor robes.
You will receive the Witchdoctor mask when you've managed to catch all of the god jadinkos at least once. The xp amount you receive after finding all 3 God jadinkos is equal to the amount of xp you get from turning in a pair of strange rocks. You get 12680xp for finding all normal jadinkos then you get 6340xp for finding all 3 God jadinkos at 81 hunter.
In order to obtain all 3 rewards, you must have (81 Hunter), (77 Farming), (75 Herblore). Boosts can be used.
