It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of seven remarkable new skill animations, available now at Solomon’s General Store! It is my very great pleasure to present: Skill-Fu!

Let me begin with Roundhouse Woodcutting: a popular exhibition act in the Eastern Lands. Through immense discipline and great concentration, the body is capable of felling even the mightiest tree.

For those with a leaning towards all things culinary, consider Samurai Cooking. The warriors of the Eastern Lands have a unique way of preparing food; with a flurry of slashes, vegetables are ready to eat faster than the eye can perceive. A truly distinctive talent to invoke awe in those around you, it brings the additional benefit of ensuring that nobody will complain about your cooking.

These are merely a selection from this prestigious range. Practise Iron-Fist Smithing to shape metal to your will; channel your inner spirit with Chi-Blast Mining; slice through wood as if it were butter with Karate-Chop Fletching; and Sky-Jump Teleport to your location of choice.

Each of these arresting animations is available exclusively from Solomon’s General Store and, furthermore, visiting members a 10% discount on all items. Also, as a special gift from myself, I am making the Zen Resting animation available free, exclusively to all members. Come along to my store today and claim your free gift!

Remember: if you’ve yet to patronise my fine establishment, you can still claim 200 RuneCoins absolutely free, to spend on whatever your heart desires. Remember that if you wish to purchase additional RuneCoins, you can do so here, or by clicking 'Buy RuneCoins' inside my store.

Until next time.

Too bad you can't toggle it on fixed mode :S

Other than that I don't really care about the Solomon's Store at all.

Anyone else unable to log into f2p accounts with Adblock enabled? Just plays random music for me lol
Edit:
New video ads, lovely.
Could not be pushing their VC parent's agenda down their user's throats any harder.

That wouldn't be funny without the seal, but yes, I agree.

Not impressed with store updates weekly…I dont see the reason why they are pushing these store updates….Only going to make people reject the store.

We can remove navbar?

Nav bar can only be removed in fullscreen/re-sizable mode. Since we are stuck in fixed mode we will still be stuck with nav bar. Not that it's a problem now that we have fixed it.

Interesting about removing the nav bar, obviously they realised that it was good whilst they implemented it but now that pretty much all of the clients have worked around.
