A seller not too far away is offering the item at a lower price, but still considerably higher than the going rate.
They are in league and you will be left with an unwanted item at an excessive price. The way to avoid this scam is to know the prices, and never buy in an overpriced item, as even if the trade did turn out to be legitimate, you could be beaten to it.
Selling Rare Items
A player may be selling an item that they are saying rare. However, they may be lying. Rare items are covered in the Rare Items Guide.
Free Membership
Some players may say that they can offer free membership. However, this is a scam.
No player can give free membership. Player mods also cannot give membership or receive free membership.
Avoiding Scamming
Players can easily avoid being scammed by following these points.
Take time trading. Observe the items the other player is putting up.
Never fall for the "trimming armour" scam.
Be wary of trades near Edgeville or the Wilderness.
Be wary of trades with people offering very high prices.
Know the items involved in your trade.
Always look at the second trade screen.
What to do When Scammed
If a player is scammed, the only thing they can do is work to get the items they lost back.
JAGeX will not give players back the items they lost. Many players turn to JAGeX when they get scammed. However, JAGeX will only say that there is nothing they can do. They do not give items back because people would take advantage of getting free items.
If a player is scammed, they should raise their skills to get money or merchant some items. In time, the player will be able to get back their items.
The Difference Between Hacking and Scamming
There is a large difference between scamming and hacking.
Scamming is when a a player cheats another player. Here is an example.
A player is buying a rune platebody. Another player trades them and puts up a rune platebody in the trade window. The player buying then puts up 80,000 gp. Both players hits accept, but the player buying doesn't look at the second trade window. They hit accept immediately, and then complete their trading. The player th...
Hacking is completely different from scamming. Hacking involves a player's account being stolen, not a player cheating another player.
Guides/Castle Wars
Castle Wars is a Runescape minigame for members only. It is like Capture the Flag, but with fighting. To access this minigame players must head southeast of the Tree Gnome Village (Since this minigame is members only, it is located in a members only area).
To start off with the minigame, players need to pick a team. Each team is based on the 3 Runescape gods: Saradomin (good), Guthix (neutral), and Zamorak (evil). If players are loyal to Saradomin, they can step into the blue portal. If they are loyal to Zamorak, they can step into the red portal. If they are loyal to Gu...
Players should bring what they need, but they can't bring a cape or helmet, as they will be supplied with a hood and cape of their god's color. Players don't need to worry about dying as they won't lose items if they die. They will be sent back to their team spawn room instead of Lumbridge.
After the time is up for entering players, the game starts and players enter the respawn room of their team's castle. Players have 20 minutes to capture their enemy's flag as many times as possible. Players can do whatever is necessary to get the opposing team's flag and keep their own.
Map
The arena consists of two castles with an accessible castle wall. A river separates the two castles. There is a bridge that players can cross of course. There is also a tunnel beneath the arena that players can use to sneak between the castles. However they are caved in and a pickaxe is needed to clear the rocks, playe...
First Floor/Spawn Room
There will be a table with bandages which heal 6 hp. Players should grab a few but save some space as there are other tools essential to their war. Players can use the bandages to heal themselves or teammates. Of course enemies can't get in the room, but players can only stay inside for two minutes. Players can leave a...
Second Floor
If players go up the stairs outside or climb the ladder up they will find themselves on the second floor. There isn't much here except the stairs to the team's flag.
Top Floor
The top floor is where the flag is located. Some enemies will camp out here and wait until the flag appears at the flag holder. If players can't capture the flag, they can wait here and kill enemies attempting to capture their flag.
Ground Floor
The bottom of the arena (besides the tunnels underground). This is where enemies can charge the castles. This is also where the tables of equipment are.
Equipment
Here's a list of equipment available to players during the minigame, it can be found on the ground floors of the castles.
Tool kits
The tool kits are little gray boxes. They fix things that can be broken by enemies like the castle gates and catapult.
Barricade
The barricades are pieces of wood on the table next to the tool kits. They can be placed anywhere and they block anyone. Of course they're destroyable by attacking them or using special explosive potions.
Buckets
Buckets are on the floor next to some crates. There's a sink that players can use to fill them up. If the catapult or a barricade is on fire from an explosive potion, players can use the bucket of water to put it out.
Explosive potions
Explosive potions have orange liquid in the vials. They can be used on barricades or a catapult to destroy to them. Also they can be used to cause a cave-in and prevent movement between castles underground in the tunnels. Players can dig and remove the rocks though. WARNING:Do not drop these, they will cause 15 damage ...
Rope
On the table next to the explosive potions, there are ropes. If players use them on a castle wall, they can scale the wall without having to get through the castle gates. Ropes won't disappear after players scale the wall, they will stay there for the remainder of the game. Players can use these to an advantage by sett...
Rocks
Rocks are used to bombard a small area around the castles with a catapult. They are good for slightly longer distance ranging assistance but they are not as effective as ranging with a bow.
Bronze pickaxes
If players are going underground, they're going to need one to dig their way through cave-ins.
Tinderbox
If players going to destroy the catapult, they might as well set fire to it, right? That's what a tinderbox is for. It slows down the repair of the catapult and players can use that time to attack the enemy fixing it. However, water can put out fire, making it easier to use an Explosive Potion to destroy the enemy fixt...
Tactics for Playing the Game
There are multiple ways for players to make themselves useful in the minigame, these are some of the options available.
