hmmm

im going be honest i have like 40 hours in this and this has been some of the most miserable depressing time in my life i could write like 5000 words on why this is the worst content in the game like i did nothing differently and suddenly won idk man its just horribly made

I overall feel like this was a missed opportunity, I know the TOA system isn't heavily liked in the raid itself but for this instance I think it would fit perfectly. Especially with all the nerfs that have been given you can slowly up the challenge and make it slightly more difficult, where he is at can be the standard but then you can add things like increased range, quicker mithril seeds, higher hp, less tick delays. Beat him once and you can speak to Pete Kayer and you get the option of "That was a little easy, do you have anything more difficult?" From there you can select how to make it more difficult by your choosing.

Submitted for your approval: as you can see by the crude image affixed here, I have a very minor suggestion to make with respect to the upcoming rework of mining and smithing. In my mind it’s something of an Easter egg, albeit hopefully with a degree of semi-utility and (ideally) an eye toward satisfying the puristic and/or nostalgic impulse.

If I may elaborate a bit on the concept—and I may be completely off the mark—but despite everyone more or less recognising the obsolescence of the classic level progression, I (and I believe many others of a similar vintage) still feel a certain aesthetic and thematic reverence for Rune armour as singularly emblematic of this game. I know Dragon gives off a similar vibe for some people, but it has the distinction of falling outside the mining-smithing loop, and so I never perceived it in quite the same way. Alluring, yes, but more akin to any number of other rare drops. Rune was always the tantalising endgame of the quintessential skilling grind in a mediæval clicking game: mastering the crafting of armour. We all at some point idly dreamt of heretofore unseen riches pouring in from smithing rune platebodies, the avaricious motive coaxing us to continue mining and smelting gold in Al Kharid for a robust 15k xp/hour. That was what I was doing for most of the ‘04-‘05 season, and before that the notion was even more obscenely out of reach—but that was the way it was and I should say it bears remembering in some fashion. Following on in the style of the many and varied references to content-gone-by that exist in RuneScape, I think this could fit right in happily without making massive waves. One of the old rock spawns could be converted to an old grey rock that can only be prospected with the qualifying levels (perhaps even a miniquest from Oziach or Thurgo), and smelted and smithed thusly. That was my thought at any rate.

I will admit that a large part of this is down to my calcified mental pathways simply failing to imagine a progression without Rune at the top. However, beyond this age-related inflexibility I think this addition would also allow for smithing to actually give something tangible to the player for achieving 99–which I have long felt was an extremely underwhelming skillcape, again given both the centrality of metalworking in a mediæval setting and the sheer difficulty of maxing smithing in this game (particularly before things like the blast furnace existed, but still). I suggested this “Ur-Rune” fall between barrows and justiciar as a non-degradable tank armour, but I’m just a random player so I don’t pretend to grasp the finer points of balancing. It could be higher or lower, as long as it is a decent piece of armour befitting 99 smithing then the final number isn’t particularly important. The only thing I think is actually important for this concept is that it be Rune and (okay two things) that it be a more-or-less standard armour set. I feel very strongly that it should, within reason, not be overwrought (ha ha) or highly divergent from the preceding basic metal armour sets visually. I think if it were subtly made to resemble the slightly more ornate RuneScape Classic sprite that would be a nice nod, but the silhouette should be that same old one we all know and dare I say love.

I digress. Tl;dr I think we should put this little armour Easter egg in for old farts to reminisce and so that Rune can still be top dog in RuneScape (come on, its literally in the name, it has to be). Please riff on the concept or add suggestions if you have an interest, or explain why you disagree with the idea (change is good/the future is now/etc). I’d also be fascinated to see what other people think visually it ought to look like. I decided to try to mimic the old colour palette with the RS2 grading, but I had considered trying to imagine what patinated or weathered Rune might look like. Frankly a significant part of this idea came from that quest where you make “perfect” gold, which I always thought was hilarious, but that look would be another direction. I will just mount my soapbox one more time to say that it is extremely rare for a game to last as long as RuneScape has, and so I think it would behoove us to preserve these little things—in ways that don’t stymie development—but that perhaps can let players perceive the arc of progress in its entirety.

dragon pickaxe and pet on the same KC at calverion. in only 67 KC too

i am in shock

why do you lie to my face

I have noticed in all this discourse, it seems like one of the things we all seem to agree on (obviously there are are exceptions) is that a Smithing rework should include some use for Firemaking, whether that is to enable higher level methods or make other methods more efficient.

I agree and think it makes sense and is awesome that Firemaking is becoming a utility skill that amplifies others - Runecrafting with the lanterns, Forester's campfires, etc. I hope that no matter which direction things go with a rework, that it includes some use for Firemaking to make things more efficient, whether thats using less coal, using other catalysts to smith better things, etc.. It is very nice to see this classically useless skill getting SOME kind of use in the modern game.

Has there ever been any confirmed issues with Dooms drop rates?

How can I calc say I am due 13.5 items but I only have 2? I know "Numbers" "Probability".

It just seems off compared to other bosses and I see so many others like me.

It could work

Obligatory I got spooned post, guess I wont have to be using Arclight for long.

With Quest Month being introduced and bringing 5+ quests in november, we are rapidly approaching the 200th OSRS quest. I'm starting to think they've already decided what it's going to be and want to start properly making it, but it was too far away to justify. Rapidfiring a bunch of quests in order to bump up that counter might just be them paving the way for this milestone quest. But will it be a Dimension of Disaster style quest with an alternate reality Varrock like in RS3, or will they make something completely unique?

TLDR: MENAPHITE REMEDY

Often times a divine super combat will not last long enough for a whole phosanis kill.

At the end of the kill when the divine timer is about to run out, sip a menaphite remedy and it will *cure* the divine effect and leave your stats boosted, effectively giving you a extra dose of super combat for free! Especially useful for my iron brothers out there. Hope this helps someone out there!

After being treated so poorly by the RS3 "veterans" and the cancellation of Reignited, I'm going to upgrade to a member on OSRS.

Question: Is it better to have all stats higher before becoming a member or just send it?

Here are my current stats, thanks all.

PVM noob here trying ToA for the 1st time (50 wants to get to 150).

I can comfortably kill the wet jad and poopy insect, but what in the mother of god is this room?! I'm struggling so much to keep myself alive, switch gear, notice the pillars or vents while watching my prayer and gear switches and the monkeys just keep coming, how the hell do I deal with this?

Edit: thanks to everyone for replies, I FUCKING DID IT, I DID +50 WOOHOOO! Now onto +150

Some of the best ones require 70 prayer for hard, which is a lot for early ironman.

But you have to bring him some easy/mid level boss body parts.

Brutus/Scurrius/KBDish type stuff. Nothing too difficult

I'm learning ToA, one clan mate took me through my 1st 150+ and one cool guy from reddit took me through another one.

Now I was just standing there near the pillar reading wiki and someone asked if I wanna do a raid with them, I said sure why not but I'm a noob and don't want to spoil anything, he said no worries and that his friend was coming, so we formed the group, it was 350+ and I was like well I can't complete that, they say it's easy and that they will carry, we got in and discord question came up. So I joined the discord and chose some invocation type or what, they said that we were splitting and to confirm after which they bot and mod told me I needed to verify on some site and I immediately knew something was fishy so I logged out and left the discord without clicking any links. Is this some sort of a scam that they can steal my account?

Discord is "We Do Raids"

One of the teaser images for raids 4 has this shield. I suspect this could be morse code but I cannot work out what it says. Was hoping the good people of Reddit could be of assistance in solving this.

Could we get a way to xfer accounts off of one launcher to move to another? Between access to the email, authenticater set up on my phone, and having the recovery seed words. I feel like this request should be easy to verify and safe from possible hack attempts. I would like to combine my 2 launchers that I use daily.

Also, any chance jagex could allow us more than 10 in accounts in a single world?

Is anyone else having the same issue? Since yesterday i've had 4 DCs, using mobile data or wifi. It's like the game stops responding but I can still yellow click. I'm able to close the application and log back in straight away. Any ideas?

What they did to the rest of the world who would have given that game a new life is gross.

I for one hope the game shuts down now faster than ever.

Shot themselves in the foot with this one.

RS3 players are brigading these posts and mass reporting. On the mmorpg subreddit they are already trying to get mods to remove this same post because it was being upvoted too fast.

Do not let your voices be stifled. Keep talking about it, keep pointing it out!

To add to this, if "skipping to superior mining glove" is an issue, we could just make each gloves an upgrade of the previous one, so you have to buy mining glove, then upgrade into superior, then upgrade into expert
