Runescape-Assist System

Today we introduce a new means for Runescape players to help each other: the Assist System. This update allows a lower-level player to 'borrow' the skill levels of a more experienced player, creating objects that they could not before.
To take advantage of the Assist System, right-click on a player you would like help from and select 'Req. assist'. That player can then click a pink message that appears in their chat box, deciding whether or not to offer you assistance.
If the assistance is accepted, you are free to use the skills of the other player, making items and taking advantage of their higher levels. The assisting player receives all of the XP, while you keep all of the items you create. This makes the Assist System a quick and safe way to get help making items!


A hand-in-hand icon will appear at the bottom-right of your screen when you are being assisted:



A good example is making an amulet of Strength. You may have the level 49 Magic to enchant a ruby amulet, but not the 50 Crafting to actually make it. With the Assist System you can safely 'borrow' the skill levels of an expert crafter to cut an uncut ruby. Still using the Assist System runescape gold, you can then make the ruby amulet at a furnace with a gold bar, an amulet mould and ball of string. With the use of an Enchant Level 3, you can turn your ruby amulet into an amulet of Strength.
The Assist System can be used with the following skills:
Construction
Cooking
Crafting
Farming
Fishing
Fletching
Herblore
Hunter
Magic
Mining
Runecrafting
Smithing
Woodcutting
Notes:
You can adjust your filters to allow or disallow any assist requests.
You can earn a maximum of 30,000 experience in any 24-hour period by assisting people.
You cannot assist someone with a quest, an Achievement Diary (they will not be able to mark a task complete if they were assisted in this way) or a minigame.
Summary
A way to use the high levels of someone who is willing to help!
Simply right-click on a player and choose 'Req. assist' to start.
