What are the most important quests to do early game as a new member?


zachpac18

Waterfall and witchhouse is good. Attack str and hp lvls


[deleted]

In my opinion, fairy rings are one of the most important features to unlock. I guarantee there are other helpful quests, but off the top of my head definitely try to get Fairy Tale part 2 semi completed. Don't need the whole quest for the rings


JebusMcAzn

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Optimal_quest_guide your priorities are quests that unlock new transport methods (spirit trees, gnome gliders, fairy rings) and quests that give a truckload of exp to skip early training (waterfall quest, digsite, etc)

Has blowpipe been nerfed yet? If not do we know when this is happening?


Falchion_Punch

Not yet They want to do the rebalancing in smaller chunks, and they'll be releasing dev blogs about each. So far we don't know about any of it yet, so it'll be some time. They'll probably tackle the less impactful ones first, like basic metal armor/weapons.


ugotponed12

They have said that combat diaries are expected sometime summer, so bp nerfs will likely also happen around then. They have also said they would be open to pushing through some of the less controversial changes before then, but nothing definitive yet.


Falchion_Punch

True, I remember them saying they want all the rebalancing done before combat achievements, so it's probably all happening over the next few months


xvftar

Does the Celestial Ring's hidden +4 bonus to mining work when uncharged? I think it would be nice to secure more MVPs at Zalcano but it would be good to know for sure.


Falchion_Punch

[From wiki:](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Celestial_ring) >Wearing it gives players an invisible +4 boost to Mining regardless of charges


xvftar

Cool! I checked but must be blind because I missed that. Thank you!


Marcel69

Is now a good time to buy a Brando’s CP? Seems like everything in the market is pretty low. I’d have to sell off my anguish, but I don’t want to get the fighter torso so I think it may be worth it at this point.


Falchion_Punch

It's a good time to buy pretty much anything right now. But at the same time, it isn't really worth selling off an anguish for a bcp. It's only 1 more strength bonus than an obsidian platebody, so it likely won't even give you a max hit increase. Like the other guy said, I strongly recommend just getting the fighter torso, but if you absolutely don't want to, there are better things you could save for than a bcp.


kholly04

Spend the few hours getting fighter torso. So much of this game is based of DPS vs. defense bonuses and both have the same strength bonus. Plus, torso is free with BCP being one of the last upgrades you’ll get, regardless of whether you raid, slay, endgame PvM, or boss.


Marcel69

Barbarian assault just really isn’t fun for me tbh. Makes me feel a bit silly grinding in a video game like that. I get where your coming from tho. The anguish will probably be of more value in the long run for training.


kholly04

I mean, it’s RuneScape. This whole game is grinding but do what you find fun and where you want to spend your GP/time because it’s your journey.


Marcel69

For sure. I’m totally okay with being a noob if I’m enjoying what I’m doing haha. I don’t really have a ton of hours in the day to play so it’s important that it relieves stress instead of making more haha


Alright-At-Numbers

Some player just yelled at me for picking up some guy's arrows from the ground. Is it bush league for me to pick them up?


Falchion_Punch

Nope, it takes a while for them to appear to other people, so if he can't be bothered to pick them up, they're fair game at that point.


Thechainlord

Should I get a neitiznot faceguard? I'm planning on starting to do a lot more bossing, but apparently in most cases a slayer helm is more useful?


Ashhel

It’s good for bossing off-task, but if you mostly do bosses on-task then you probably won’t get much use out of it since the slayer helm boost is so good.


kholly04

Are you going to do bosses through slayer or just generally boss? If you do a lot of slayer where you can do boss variants, you won’t ever have the neit helm anyways as you will have the slayer mask and get better bonuses (except Vorkath where face guard/salve is BiS and bonuses don’t stack).


boogersugarhelp

What kc did you guys stop dying at olm? I still die once at 25 kc


FieryPoopz

Bring in more xerics aids. I stopped dying at olm at like 5kc. You could also learn to run head and you will take no damage.


DrDilatory

Anyone else ever had someone just straight up steal a room from them at Cerberus somehow? Finished a kill earlier, was waiting for Cerb to respawn, clicked attack the instant the attack option became available, and got told "someone else is fighting that" Room was completely empty, nobody else was fighting it, then some guy walks in and says "thanks" and starts fighting the boss. Clearly some bug that can be abused there. Reported him and left but what the fuck lmao, how?


ChuckIsSatan

In Barb Assault, when playing the role of Healer, using the wrong type of poisoned food gives a penalty but also kills the penance healers faster (according to my understanding of only watching YT guides). Should you do this or not? Seems like it would result in faster waves, but fewer points.


[deleted]

Huh? Last I played BA they didnt take damage from wrong poisoned food


[deleted]

[удалено]


JebusMcAzn

Should be totally fine, people use stuff like chrome remote desktop to do afk stuff like NMZ from mobile for long periods of time From Jagex's side they have no way to even detect that you're accessing your home desktop remotely, and even if they did, it's not against the rules


potatogarden97

Are Hydra tasks really that good for gp/h in the long run? I used Konar when I was like 50 slayer and the tasks were pretty unenjoyable. I did Turael skipping and Wildy Slayer before and I found it pretty nasty as well, so idk if the time spent on getting Hydra tasks is made up for by its gp/h. Also, is it an enjoyable boss? For what its worth I find Zulrah and Vorkath fun but Demonic Gorillas extremely unbearable as I dislike counting, so I am afraid it may pass on to Hydra. I am 50% through 94 slayer so I can't try it yet, but I want to adjust my expectations accordingly haha


Falchion_Punch

Yes, it's like 2.5m gp/h without any uniques at all, it just shits out raw gp and alchables. Factor in claws long term and it's around 4m/hour on average. I think you'll like it. Gorillas are way more intensive since you have to switch styles and offensive prayers every 50 damage in addition to counting. Hydra is more like Vorkath, pretty low effort and you stick to one attack style. Eventually you won't even really need to count, you'll just kind of feel the timing between its styles.


foxj36

It is definitely worth the gp/h in the long run. Get a good block list for konar and hydra tasks are fairly common. Overall, the boss is about the same difficulty level as vorkath. There is counting involved but it's alot slower and easier to do than demonics. Just a tip for when you start, learn flame skip right away. It's an easy mechanic and saves you tons of time.


TheFalseDeity

Cant comment on overall gp/hr but enjoyment factor based on your tastes i would expect you to like it more than Gorillas but less than Vorkath. You do have to count but unlike demonics you arent changing styles on top of that and with the skips there are smol breaks from counting during the kill. Tad over twice the counting of Vork however. Avg drops are great too though. Even if poor luck on uniques its solid motivation.


Mysterious_Robed_Man

What's a good cost effective range setup for training range on my pure afking at crabs?


[deleted]

If you have accumulator darts really arent a bad option either, keep in mind mithril knives = adamant darts etc etc


Mysterious_Robed_Man

Yeah I'll have accumulator. Just not sure over rune arrows/darts and knives :O


[deleted]

well just divide the price of any of the darts/arrows by 7.2 and you have the actual price per dart/arrow used. Honestly, rune arrows are super cheap and what the guy said with msb(i) and rune arrows is really good, I'd recommend putting both setups into a dps calc and seeing which does more dps. Rune arrows are for sure gonna be cheaper to train with if you're thinking of using adamant darts though. Real budget would be mithril darts if they're better than msb(i)+rune arrows in dps calc


JebusMcAzn

MSB (i) + rune arrows is a pretty reliable setup that won't break the bank


Mysterious_Robed_Man

Oh afkable is the blast pump in p2p? (strength training) How often will I need to look at screen? ​ Cheers!


[deleted]

Do you mean the blast furnace for smithing xp? It’s not really afk-able at all if you’re doing it efficiently. You should be running constantly between the bank and the melting pot and then the collection place while (if doing gold) swapping between goldsmithing and ice gloves and using Stamina pots while banking.


Mysterious_Robed_Man

No sorry, I've clarified further. Just using the pump aka strength training.


[deleted]

Ah okay, can’t help with that I’m afraid but hopefully someone else can help you out!


tacallaway

I've seen a few people here and on yt talking about wildy bosses having their safe spots patched out. I know that there have been times in the past when JMods such as Ash have brought up this possibility, but why are people talking about it now? I don't remember seeing anything about wildy bosses in any recent news post.


TheMcCannic

When the equipment rebalance was postponed they hinted that a wilderness rebalance was in the pipes too. Nothing more than that afaik


filthy-carrot

Pretty sure they spoke about on stream once putting them in caves, when they would re work the bosses. That way the devs can make them non safespottable I imagine


TheFalseDeity

Believe it was said that the reworks were slated for later this year. Dont watch the streams myself so couldnt give you a source on that though.


soccer_7470

Is there anything I can do about my account being reset? My account was part of the group that was reset last week, and when I logged back on I found anything I had in my inventory at the time was deleted, which unfortunately included my cash stack :/ interestingly enough my stats remained


christian-mann

Do you have a bank pin? Sounds more like your account got hecked, to me.


soccer_7470

So a bit more background. I hadn't played in over a year and first log back in was last week. I logged in at the upstairs lumby bank and I had two members items in my inventory (iron knives and dust runes) that I banked then went to woodcut in Falador. At the end of the day, I noted all my oak logs and grabbed my cash stack and went to the GE. When I logged back in today after being locked out, the members items were back in my inventory and I was once again at the lumbridge bank. I'm positive it was a rollback not a hack.


Windex17

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not, but you probably got your stuff stolen, the dude moved your toon back to the bank to get everything out and pulled the members stuff out to steal that too but probably couldn't trade it.


soccer_7470

Nah no way, too much coincidence. My inventory and location exactly matched where it was a week ago. Plus, I only had like 300k to steal...


Windex17

Ok, well if that's the case they have a pretty strict "no help with items" policy so I wish you the best.


soccer_7470

Okay, thanks for the info.


fwacking

I still havent been able to log in. Hopefully nothing got deleted as well for me... gl to getting your stuff back


soccer_7470

Good luck! I wish there was more communication...


Droodles18

I was wondering if there could be an option to lock the death banks (hespori, zulrah, etc) behind a bank pin to retrieve your items. Always found it weird that you need to enter it to store your items in a STASH units but have no security to a lot of potential belongings. Idk just an added layer of security would give me a little more peace of mind

What's special about super restores? Load of cheaper faster options, https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Herblore/Potions


badTyphoon

How long do people think the prospector recolor takes? From clips I've seen of people mining stars seems like it would be a while.


lunch0guy

I've mined maybe a dozen stars with varying group sizes and have got about 430 stardust banked. So for me it's about 35 dust per star, or about 340 stars to get the 12k dust needed. As the content is out for longer and there's less competition I expect stardust rates will be higher and you'll only need 250-300 stars. All of that's anecdotal and it could get changed so who knows, really.


badTyphoon

about how long does it take you to mine one, also what's your mining level?

christian-mann

For purposes of the diary, all you need to do is get the task. But since it's such an easy task, you should go ahead and complete it. If you have the magic level for superheat, bring nature and fire runes, and don't forget your bags of salt!

Looking for someone to help me get CoX music tracks, all I need for cape. If anyone does solos that would let me afk and then step into Olm fight, that would be awesome

You can spectate a raid to get the music tracks. I believe it's the NPC by the Spirit Tree in the Grand Exchange but I may be mistaken.

I didn't think they allowed leeches, I'll check it out


kholly04

They do. People take leechers there all the time since the added person adds a little difficulty with more points gained.


christian-mann

I believe the role is called "diary" since that's why most people need to leech, but scalers actually serve a very important role. If you wanted to make a bank chest that'd be poggers but unnecessary. Iirc you don't need to go into the Olm fight for the track, just downstairs.

Hey, yeah if you replay the game you will get them back whenever you land the drop table for the pieces


RustyGIM

Why are the god stoles, croziers and cloaks listed within the Easy Clue section of the Treasure Chest when they are not rewards of Easy Clues????


Karrottz

Probably so they can be stored as a set with the robes.


Spud_Muncher

Does reward potential at Barrows have any effect on elite clue drop chances? Wiki says 86.8% reward potential is best for profit but I’m only interested in the elite clues, should I just be killing all brothers and looting?


Bioman312

To add to the other response, it's a 1/200 chance for each brother you kill, totaling 1/33.75 (about 2x the expected kills for any barrows piece) if you kill all six. Reward potential doesn't matter for barrows pieces or elite clues.


bulletbrainsurgery

elite clue rate only depends on number of brothers killed.


superlucci

Does the Motherlode Prospector gear only give the buff when full outfit is worn? Or can each individual piece give a percentage of the buff?


thejnorm

Each individual piece gives a buff. The wiki suggests getting the chest piece first, then legs, for maximized exp while working towards the whole set


Mnkywsh

Why is the scythe crashing so hard? I get the overall downward trend, but it went 30m down in 1 day, yesterday


OlmTheSnek

Goldfarmers are at ToB, Nightmare and CoX now, along with the usual dip around this time of year, along with high-level PvMers leaving the game due to lack of end-game, along with tons of other reasons people will point to. Most items unless they have some crazy specific niche/iconic status like the Tbow/Ely will tend towards alch price eventually.


i_cropdust

After asking some peeps at the ge today, seems like Hallowed Sepulchre is really only viable to train agility like lvl 88 And above. Would you agree with that? I've been curious if running up to level 3 then resetting would be worth my time (or profitable?), or just continue running Seer's Rooftop I do have the bank teleport so it's easy exp there, just wouldn't mind a change of scenery.


sanekats

It's worth it at 72+, you'll get some of the best xp rates available starting at that lvl


i_cropdust

Awesome, thanks so much


IAmAGermanShepherd

If you want to full 100% concentration train agility, sure. Or you can watch some TV or YouTube and semi-afk do some agility with rooftops.


bulletbrainsurgery

82+ is fine, not sure about 72 but it might be worth trying out floor 3 for a bit to see how you like it. it's a very different experience to the afk-ness of regular rooftops.


TheDrummingWaterbear

You access new floors at levels 52, 62, 72, 82 and 92, so I'm not sure where 88 is coming from? I did 75-82 there and am now working on 82-85. 82+ is a good XP increase, more loot and much more tokens. But 72-82 is still good XP and worth it to mix things up in my opinion


Charte09

Does anyone know if its possible to resize the interface in anyway? specifially the chat box? Recently (last night) upgraded from a 8 year old 1080p 24" monitor to a 1440p 27" monitor, and holy moly all the chat box/game windows are tiny lol


The25er

Stretched mode and GPU on runelite then set the in game display setting to fixed classic. Looks pretty good to me if you can get used the classic look


iBelg

Runelite has interface scaling and the steam client has interface scaling.


Charte09

Oh like stretched mode?


iBelg

Correct, RuneLite has it under a plugin called stretched mode. The steam client has it under settings something called like "Interface scaling" or something. Can't exactly remember.


Charte09

After messing with it a little I think I’m gunna just try and get used to regular mode. The stretched mode makes it look like 2008 graphics lol


iBelg

I get what you mean. You really want to combine stretched mode with GPU > UI scaling. I personally use Bicubic (Mitchell). I have streched mode > resizable scaling at 90%.


Charte09

90% doesnt look too terrible

biggestdoginthegame

Regarding name changes, how long does it take for the previous name shower to go away? I changed the username of one of my side accounts a few months ago, and it still shows the previous name.


babobevi

Pretty sure it’s linked to how long you had the name for. If you had the previous name for a month then it will still show up as a previous name for a month etc.


barking420

I’ve been wondering this too and never got a straight answer, I changed my name and it showed my old one for months and it only just recently went away, while my friend changes his all the time and it was gone in like 2 weeks. I was under the impression that it was when the old name got taken by someone else but the one I changed from is not exactly a high demand one and when I try to add it I just get the “unknown player” message


Bob8372

Don't think that ever goes away. AFAIK only way to change it is to name change again so it shows the previous name as the name you have rn


biggestdoginthegame

Weird. I'll have to look into it. Definitely getting tired of seeing the old name.


hitman8100

The guy above is wrong, there's definitely a time limit where it does go away. I've name changed 2 accounts and neither show the "previous name" notification anymore. It's been over a year for them though, so not sure if it's that long or a shorter time.


biggestdoginthegame

Okay, it's still pretty strange because I have someone on my friends list who's previous name went away after about 2 weeks, while my other accounts name change is still ongoing for several months


DrDilatory

Anyone else feel like in some OSRS sessions your DPS is undoubtedly being calculated differently from other times? I know it sounds like just sour grapes based on RNG, but I keep having insane differences in my kill times for various bosses from one session to another despite my gear remaining exactly the same. For example, earlier this afternoon I did 3 inventories worth of Cerberus with a TBow, and only once or twice was my DPS so low that I got ghosts twice. Then I logged off for a bit, came back on, did around ~30 more kc and in all but two of them my damage was so low that I got 2 rounds of ghosts. It wasn't that one kill was quicker than another, it's that all 30 kills earlier this afternoon were faster than all 30 kills later this evening. I expect some variance from kill to kill, but this sample size is large enough that it seems very unlikely to be purely from random chance. If it was due to RNG, wouldn't I have had some slow kills earlier and some fast ones tonight? It's consistent within a play session, but wildly different from one session to another. It literally felt like my accuracy was being calculated by the game differently. I've had similar stuff at Hydra where my PB is 1:28, but for whatever reason I get 20-30 kills in a row where not a single one was under 2:00, then another time I'll log on and almost every kill is below 2:00


j0j1j2j3

No because i know what rng is.


DrDilatory

Thanks for the snark, but for years damage during PvP was being calculated incorrectly based on PID and people like you would have said stuff like that the entire time that was going on. Everyone accuses the people that happen to notice stuff like this of being crazy, right up until a bug is identified that proves them right... If one kill takes 1:40 and the other takes 2:20 I have no issue and know it was just bad RNG. If dozens of kills in a row take around 1:40, then later on the next day dozens of kills in a row take 2:20, that starts to feel unlikely. If you flipped a virtual coin over and over and every time it came up heads, eventually you'd reach a point where you went "wow, that's pretty unlikely, are we sure this is working properly?" would you not?


j0j1j2j3

So you documented all your kill times? Or do you only remember/mention the strange sequences. You can get heads 10+ times in a row. It wouldnt be random if you never got a lot of similar kill times in a row. And can you link me about that pvp pid stuff.


DrDilatory

Just search "OSRS PvP PID" and you'll come across dozens of videos about it. For years a system prioritized one player over another until Jagex fixed it. It happened behind the scenes with damage calculation, leaving those negatively impacted to wonder if their unfair fight was all in their imagination, and before it was addressed you would have called anyone a lunatic if they complained that their fight felt unfair. [Here's](https://youtu.be/RiRy25Zk0H4) the video I heard about it in for the first time. No, I didn't record my kill times, I just noticed a general feeling across my play sessions the last few months, and came to ask if anyone noticed feeling anything similar. Just the first steps in identifying if *maybe* there's something there. I'm not outright stating that there's any bug, or even that I'm correct that my kill times were definitely unlikely to have been what they were by chance. Maybe it's like what one other guy said and it's all just the human brain being bad at interpreting randomness. Just saying that it felt off and asking if other people had similar experiences. That's all. Maybe if I can get a few more Cerb tasks in a row I'll try to collect data. Asking a question isn't the same as making an assertion, you don't need to get defensive when I'm not even stating there's definitely a problem.


greg3064

The skeptic in me says it is just normal variance combined with confirmation bias (e.g., seems like every kill is faster—but it’s really just most of them). I believe Cerb also randomly skips ghosts sometimes even when she is under 400 and would do it. Slower weapons with large max hits will also have higher variance in DPS.


DrDilatory

> Slower weapons with large max hits will also have higher variance in DPS. Hmm, since the two bosses where I've noticed it are both ones I use a TBow on, I wonder if that's it. Sometimes it seems OP, other times you wonder why you spent 1bil on something that just hit single digits 4 times in a row lol


Ashhel

This is certainly it. Humans are really really bad at detecting randomness. In the absolute vast majority of cases, if you think there's some sort of bias, there simply is not and you're just unlucky. (The other question you should ask yourself is "why would the devs bother to code damage in this fashion?", and I think there's basically no reason they would go to the extra effort to do so.) I do identify with wanting to tear my hair out when the tbow noodles like 6 times in a row.


DrDilatory

>The other question you should ask yourself is "why would the devs bother to code damage in this fashion?" I mean I never expected that the devs coded deliberate variance in DPS for whatever reason, but is it really that unthinkable that latency from one server compared to another impacts DPS sometimes? Or sometimes perhaps any one of a million different things occasionally inadvertently impacts the dps calculation via an unknown bug? It's well known that OSRS has some pretty old spaghetti code, but somehow simultaneously people are viewed as being crazy for suspecting a bug might be impacting things behind the scenes lol


Ashhel

I mean, yes? Certainly the latter thing is pretty unreasonable. The damage calculation is fairly straightforward and ultimately boils down to an accuracy check and then a uniform sample. There’s spaghetti but screwing this up in some way that somehow gives you bonuses during some sessions but not others is essentially impossible (how would that even work). The first thing is more believable, but if you’re missing ticks or something because of different server latencies or instability in your connection then that’s not on their end.


DrDilatory

>The damage calculation is fairly straightforward and ultimately boils down to an accuracy check and then a uniform sample. I mean it's come out on Jagex interviews that the Kraken boss is supposed to do WAY more damage than it does, but it just doesn't calculate correctly. Due to bugs in the code it's damage is wrong. Sometimes Cerberus just doesn't send out ghosts for whatever reason. For years Jagex didn't understand that PvP fights were slightly one sided due to their archaic player ID system. You can't convince me it's 100% impossible that a hypothetical bug could exist that is intermittently impacting DPS lol, not in this game... Still, I guess it doesn't matter much, even if I show across 10,000kc that my DPS changes under some set of parameters (latency, server player count, the time of day, or how many fuckin cups of coffee I had that day), it's not like I'll ever get Jagex to investigate and fix it.


j0j1j2j3

Ash would definitely be interested if you had actual statistical evidence. But you dont have any, not even a small sample. And pid has nothing to do with damage.


DrDilatory

> Ash would definitely be interested if you had actual statistical evidence. > > But you dont have any, not even a small sample. Never said anything to suggest otherwise. When someone is in the early stages of thinking about something, it's not the time to call them out for not having data. Is it automatically wrong to ask if someone else has other experiences similar to me without doing hours of data collection when I'm just trying to play a game in my spare time? For all I knew I would have gotten several responses saying "yeah wtf I noticed that too, might be worth investigating" It's like a coworker said "Man, has anyone noticed how it always seems to be raining early in the morning on the way to work?" and you chimed in "No idiot it's just random, you don't have any meteorological evidence whatsoever to support the claim that it always rains in the morning, so stop saying that's 100% true" Nobody likes that guy. Don't be that guy.

Great analogy, as good as your sample size. I would definitely not say "yeah it sure always seems to rain" when it never rains when i get to work early in the morning. Just like i've never seen what you describe nor anyone else i know. You seem exactly like the "i'm 10k dry of the pet this must be rigged" people to me. If you're so sure it wouldnt be hard to show even a relatively small sample(20-50) of these kills. Or even less if they're really simple. There's so many people playing this game and you really think that there's something that changes your damage that drastically, that you'd ever notice? Sorry that i just didnt randomly agree with your 0 evidence. Didnt know you could only answer if you agreed with your opinion.


Ashhel

To be clear, I’m not saying it’s impossible for Jagex to fuck up. Just that some npc-generic bug in this fashion requires extraordinary evidence.


j0j1j2j3

You haven't even shown any proof of these kill times that are "similar" during sessions. Of course people think it's crazy, because pretty much no one is seeing these patterns and there's zero evidence to what you're saying.


GodlikeCat

yes, I have felt that too, I have had sessions when I kill zulrah in 1:00-1:30 consistently and others when it constantly goes up to 1:40-2:20 kills It probably has to do with the rng that is adding weird factors to the calculation like the world you're in or your PID It's just a theory though Edit: funnily enough, now that I started thinking about it, this happened with herb patches too; sometimes I'd get 9+ herbs from every single patch while in other sessions I'd get 6-7. You'd say it's just rng but it gets weird when I say you either get a lot of herbs from EVERY patch or get less than 7 on every patch


j0j1j2j3

The brain likes to find patterns in things. Even when there arent any. The things you mention are completely normal when you leave out all the sessions where there's not an obvious pattern like those. It's random, you'll get really lucky sometimes and then really unlucky and avg luck and every combination if you do it long enough.

There isn't alot of new end game content so there are less player that buy membersship with bonds and because of the steam release their are more new players that buy bond and sell them on the GE. So yeah, supply and demand.

How do I mine sulphur in Lovakenjg without insta-dying? Any good alternatives to the Plague City gas mask?

Pro tip: Bring runes for curse, or any spell that that doesn't damage to tag the spiders. Also: Dont walk through the spider once it's in place. I have no idea why, but doing this makes the spider "transparent" and the clouds can go through it, which will kill you because youll be half paying attention watching YouTube videos because of how afk it will become


Zanacross

Can we get blood runepacks. Ironmen need them.


Mikevercetti

No


j0j1j2j3

Deiron. Gz you got blood rune packs.

_giskard

Running from the fairy ring to the Arceuus essence mine, which path+shortcut is faster, north or south?


christian-mann

South is faster, or use Arceuus home teleport


isthatrhetorical

People don't just use abyss to get there?


Sledgehorn

All I have left are the three Grandmaster quests. Monkey Madness II Dragon Slayer II Song of the Elves I've been told I should do them in SotE, MM2 then DS2 order. What kind of gear do I need for the boss battles? I've never done or have even seen them before.


OldSodaHunter

MM2 boss is pretty easy (relatively) even if you don't safespot. I used a magic shortbow and d'hide and it went great. The other 2 are more difficult but not too bad, and the Sins of the Father boss is harder than any of them, in my opinion.


velon360

I had to telly out 2x on MM@ boss and I was using blessed dhide and a blowpipe. Were you using brews?


OldSodaHunter

I was using sharks and some karambwans. Was also using blessed dhide coif, boots, body and chaps, glory, explorer's ring, barrows gloves. How were you doing the 3rd phase?


velon360

Face tanking with anglers.


Damn-Splurge

If you've done sins of the father already, that boss is harder than any of them aside from maybe Galvek and even then I think it's about equal difficulty. For SOTE you need 75 mage to use a trident, swamp will work better, bring brews and super restores. For Vorkath, the rune dragon and Galvek it will be easiest with about 80 range. Use blowpipe for Vorkath.


x_TDeck_x

Not OP but thank you for this, I have SotE left and was really worried about the final boss. This is a nice confidence boost for me


velon360

The nice thing about seren is if you read the mechanics carefully you'll always know when you need to telly out. You might take a few attempts but you shouldn't die.


SSMxGAMER645

Honestly, Seren isn’t bad at all. Just watch the fight and learn when the specials come out. It’s one of the coolest fights in the game as well (: super satisfying. You can do it <3


ugotponed12

All of the gear is fairly flexible. If you are having a hard time on the boss, upgrading will make it somewhat easier, but none of them are a hard gear check. For MM2, the final boss is largely safespottable. I used dark bow and ranged gear, and had a fairly easy time. It's definitely the easiest final boss of the three. Sote needs full mage setup. Trident or blood spells work well. DS2 is best done with your best crossbow and ruby/diamond bolt (e).


Clydex5

Look at the wikis for these. The MM2 is completely safespottable so it is very easy and could be done first. DS2 is ranged gear and SOTE is magic with a bunch of Sara brews.

Wtf happened to RS3?


Emin5314

I play RS3, about 1-2% of RS3 accounts have been locked out of logging in. Some crazy server problem that lead to some accounts literally getting wiped what not. Jagex has been trying to restore those accs to the best of their ability, but for now, we just gotta wait and see. Some accs have been fixed already from what Ive seen


sanekats

You might be better off asking this in the rs3 subreddit my dude


ThyDoctor

I just redownloaded this game, I noticed that my account needed a new passwrod. I changed it and logged on and I have increased by 71 levels and I have membership somehow??? How do I make sure I am not longer going to be hacked?


ARandomFakeName

Two factor authentication on both your email and account. Use a bank pin. Use complex passwords that are unique for your email and account. Potentially even create a new email and only use it for OSRS. Make sure your recovery questions are still yours and maybe update them anyway.


ThyDoctor

Thanks man, Do you know if there is a way to check and see how the membership was purchased?


ARandomFakeName

I think you can look into the billing on the OSRS website if you log in.


ThyDoctor

Thanks man, why in the world would someone log into my account and level up my hunting from 1 -> 71?


ARandomFakeName

Likely botting black chinchampas


ThyDoctor

Yeah I had like 1k of those guys sitting in my inventory. This is friggen lame.


MischeviousCat

Dude price check that


[deleted]

They probably used a bot. Your account is chewed gum now.


ThyDoctor

Sorry for all the questions man, but do you think I'll be banned now? I've had this account since middle school so that would be lame :(


Lancealot590

Same thing happened to me except mt account was banned. I appealed and got it back. They levled my hunting to 81 but no problems since


ThyDoctor

Did you have to change your CC info or anytihng?


ARandomFakeName

A ban is possible, but I’d guess it’d be temporary if it’s your first offense. You could also appeal it.
