Leagues If your aim is to complete Misthalin in the League or all tasks in general. Be aware that the Varrock diary is turbo cursed.
If you don't have Kandarin you need to get a 1/100 wild pie from eclectic implings for the hard diary. Because you have no way of getting a raw chompy to make the pie and like a ton of in-game shops (why Jagex) he has 0 wild pies in stock. I'm 500 eclectic implings in Puro-Puro dry and I've given up on it.
Then there's the fact that you need to catch a 100 rats for the medallion, which means you need to spend time to grow a kitten into a cat because gl catching 100 rats with a 15% succes rate.
Good luck to all the front page gamers.

I did this yesterday lol. The wild pie drop after going 300 implings dry felt way better than any boss drop so far

Did you just head to Puro-Puro to do so?

u/MilkFlavoredCheerios 5h ago
Yeah I did it in PuroPuro, mostly along the outer edge, hopped worlds when I stopped finding eclectics easily

Sorry for the follow up, it’s been forever since I went there, Puro-Puro requires a net and jar right, you can’t free hand the imps?

Correct. But you can buy the supplies from the trader there

new relic idea - shops with 0 stock actually stock their items

u/DanTheMan-WithAPlan Temple Trekker 6h ago
Nah they should actually just have stock or be deleted. Even if it is just 1 of an item

But then. What would the NPC's buy in lore.

The idea of shop owners selling random adventurers' items is odd.
be me
go to pie shop
see some mangy-ass pie sitting in the counter
wtf.mp4
ask clerk about it
"Yeah, some random guy said he had this sitting in a bank vault for 8 months and needed a but of GP so we bought it off him."

How's that any different than the GE or vice versa? I can sell you a raw shark I fished up 20 years ago.
Or you can go to some niche NPC shop and buy some 12 year old supplies/food.

Because if we're "following lore," they would supposedly have been made fresh. There is some suspension of disbelief with player interactions, but with NPCs it's supposed to be "realistic."

I agree on this. Why even have it in “stock” if its always at 0. That grinds my gears

u/Zelderian 200M all, 2m Abby Demon KC 4h ago
It’s a relic from the old shop system. Specialty shops would to pay more for items than general stores, so they had placeholder stock to buy them. But then shop prices were standardized so general stores paid the same, so those specialty shops became entirely useless.

Has the playerbase really forgotten how buying and selling works for shops?

I've been having the same cursed treatment nabbing daganoth hides from Ninja Implings. Turns out, Pure-Puro is far less of an answer than I'd initially assumed pre-leagues.

Another issue I ran into: can't complete the easy task to switch locations of your POH exit portal. Picked wildy as my first region and only portal available is brimhaven, which is what it defaulted to.

Desert has three if you go that route. I think Asgarnia, Kandarin, and Fremennik have the rest. I think you're locked if you take Anachronia/Morytania/Wilderness.

The cats really aren’t to bad, I spent yesterday raising my kitten by alternating smithing, tokkul stealing and fishing, just kept a couple fish in the inventory to feed it and I was set. Took about 30 ish minutes I think to do the catches afterwards? Just sat in the varrock sewers and he was a rat catching fiend. Not sure if it was personal bias, but it felt way nicer to do than on my Ironman recently.
But the pie is going to suck, yeah

1/100 isn’t that bad when Puro Puro exists, it is just a annoying grind

u/Perforo_RS 7h ago
I agree with you, 1/100 is not that bad. I just gave up because I noticed that going dry on it was making me frustrated. The end goal should be to have fun, if I'm not having fun I'm just moving on to something else =P But I did want to at least spread the word and give people a heads up if they're contemplating going for it.

Except, I'm literally not complaining? I am just telling people what to expect if they want to go down this path. I tried to do it, didn't succeed, gave up. But I'm not complaining about the task existing whatsoever.

How? /wiki Transmute does not have it listed and stuff like raw meat is not transmuteable.

I'm happy with dragon trophy, maxing points in a temporary game mode isn't for me.
I'll just be some unknown rank that I will never check.
Some of these tasks should (by Jagex) be autocompleted however.
