Give the Squeal a spin from tonight and you’ll notice two new items up for grabs: the black iron ring and the jewelled black iron ring . Equip either one and start mining to attract the attention of Evryn: a helpful dwarf and miner extraordinaire. Every so often Evryn will tunnel his way out of the ground and toss black iron ore your way. If you’re wearing a jewelled black iron ring, he’s more likely to be generous and yield larger amounts of black iron ore – or even a black diamond if you’re particularly lucky.

Take your black iron ore and black diamonds to Ivar, a dwarven smith at the Artisans' Workshop and he will gladly trade them in for Mining XP or Smithing XP!
This seems a pretty convoluted way to give a bit of extra mining/smithing xp. Win an item on the SOF, mine and randomly get another item, trade that second item for xp. Might just as well have charges on the rings that give the extra xp directly.

I would have preferred the option to smith or craft the black iron and black diamonds myself into some item I can use in game provided I have the relevant levels (even if it is only cosmetic or an enhancement of an existing item - black dragon platebody anybody?) But keep the option of trading the items for xp instead if I choose to, can't get enough of them or don't have the levels.

I'd rather the SOF team took more time developing these promotions to create something with more depth, occurring less frequently and lasting much longer, rather than trying to panic players into buying spins to get a superficial reward in a very limited timeframe. –= MEGA Construction Rework =–

Don't for get members get 2 spins instead of 1. I repeat members get 2 spins instead of 1.

Also to any new players wishing to buy maximum level combat and all quests completed only costs 350 $ USD

Because Jagex company likes to treat every 1 fairly despite their time and effort put into our game! As always, we appreciate our "loyal customers" I mean players.

LOL Not sure why I read the forums... most of its .. "OH great job Jagex (sarcastic dripping off the web page) more [insert whine, whine, whine but sans cheese here]"

I think Jagex should just say "**** off" or whatever Brits said to insolent little babies and keep on keeping on!

haters gotta hate.

Sweet. Well people are going to be angry over "Rwt" but oh well! It's the usual top three whining comments as follows every time they have a squeal or Solomon update.

1) Oh great another Squeal/Solomon update.
2) When will Jagex learn no one wants these?
3) [Insert RWT comment here.]

- Yes another update. Posting about it won't change it.
- Obviously the players /do/ want it otherwise we wouldn't see more.
- Give me a break, it is like saying Jagex isn't allowed to play Runescape.

Summary;

I don't see people complain when a store offers something before a holiday or Black Friday or when a new movie is released. God forbid Jagex can offer something before/after they release new content.

We had bots forever, because players bought gold. It encouraged botting. So if enough people want something, it will remain. Hence the Squeal and hence Solomon's and hence bonds now. Duh duh duh and duh.

It's Jagex's game, they made it, they can sell what they want to sell. Be grateful they haven't sold items for real money yet like that Torva you own? They could very well and just as easily sell that for so much IRL money. So whine about something else if your bandwagoning mind is capable.
I'm with you buddy, theres too many complainers on the forums these days.

Just for the record I have never actually bought any spins, but I do make use of the free ones I get every day. I'm neutral about the promotions, but I do think that if people hate them they should just not participate in them and stop ripping on Jagex like a bunch of petty ingrates.

@Jales
I can see why you wouldnt be a fan of sof, But this will actually come in handy for players who dont have the req's for the quest yet.
You know what else comes in handy? Training the actual skills instead of buying them with real life money. Crazy idea, right?


Which also takes time which not a lot have now that school has started back up...

What is the rush? I've never fully understood that. The game is not going away and you won't lose levels by doing what real life requires and then coming back and picking up where you left off. I use the rewards I get from the spins given in the game, but still earn every level I get, but don't get burned out grinding any one thing.

The journey is not the end destination, but the process for getting there. Enjoy getting there. Shadesidhe - Deputy Owner of
