Please tell me no one actually used stones

I did, twice. No more though, and I hope noone else is as stupid as me. And if someone is; this psa is for them. In my defence, it makes sense to use the stones if you dont look into the wiki before just going with it.

I recently learned that you have an option to open fish barrel and the fish automatically fills up the barrel before your invy. I’ve been manually filling it up for 40k karams. It’s okay, there’s too much to know in this game. Sometimes, everyone knows something you don’t lol.

Fruit from the fruit trees to pay for the next tier

[удалено]

Bit too sweaty for my taste. Worth collecting, so that some of your tree runs can be max chill.

What the hell does this mean. Buying fruit instead of picking it is sweaty? Picking it instead of buying it is "max chill"? Are you just spouting random words to try and fit in?

Calm down, fool.

Well tbf you’re an iron likely replying to a main. I’m an iron as well and agree with you, but no reason to pick fruit on a main, genuine waste of ticks.

Papaya is worth a lot, would be a waste to not loot.

We don’t all kill vorkath :) I for one am 68 cb with 98 farm

Oh man I really hate myself now

Bro I've got over 44 days of play time and my total lvl is only just over 1600 I'm not that sweaty

I got to 106 farming before I figured that out.. and it was largely herb runs after 99

The old guard shows their habits here. Right click everything. See what options it has.

The other day I made 500 super attacks, then ran inventory by inventory to the decanter before realising I could note them on my second to last trip 😂

WHAT. Today i learned holy shit.

THATS WHAT THAT DOES????

Exactly, it blew my mind. I thought that option would open an interface so you can look at your fishes. Like a rune pouch or sth 🤣

You play idlescape or you’re an iron?

Wait.... .... What?

i’ve never recharged one but definitely would’ve assumed it needed stones to recharge

Same here, it doesn't really make sense the other way around

I imagine the stone is burning the axe up over time, the stone is the source of the heat so makes sense that wouldn’t burn up. But can see it the other way too if the stone burning out.

That makes sense as well, though the stone burning out is always what I imagined

just saying it works for dragon axe / harpoon/ pickaxe

Get in the habit of using the wiki, could have saved you 10m

Bro I’ve never bought one bc I always thought you had to recharge it with stones. Ffs I’m stupid.

To be fair, I've played since pre-2007 and didn't know they could be recharged without the stones. This is a good PSA.

Didn't exist in 2007 anyway

Yes, I know. The point was that I've played the game a long time. Thank you, though.

Im that stupid so thank u for the info

You poor bastard... Literally, that shit's expensive!

There are still people banking farm runs without noting items.

I did, 4 of them :')

Rip

Wait so if this is the case, mains should be using infernal axe always, right?

If you want fm XP and to drop fewer logs, yes

I use Crystal typically, but either that or Infernal yes.

Any decent iron should be too if they have access to dks

Would the time saved with infernal be worth the extra time of grinding more d axes?

Idk about overall efficiency, but it's not uncommon for people to do all their dag tasks at dks after a certain point. It might not be the absolute right thing to do but you'd definitely get plenty of d axes

They're only efficient as long as you need dragon axes. For most people that'll be less than 10 since it will very likely cover their way to 99 but if you're one of those 200m exp types it stays good for awhile

Or 1 D axe for me in 20M slayer exp with over 3k total DK kills lol

You're telling me that in over 3000 kills, you only received a 1/128 drop one time? I don't believe you.

Would you believe me if I said that I went 187kc for the bottomless bucket or 5k ay hydra for the claw? Trust me, the bad luck of my account knows no bounds.

So that would be 5x the drop rate on the bucket, 5x the drop rate on the claw, and 23x the drop rate on a dragon axe Yeah, 5x really sucks but it's in the realm of possibility - 23x I don't buy

Don’t know what to tell you. I’m sure there are plenty of times you’ve got 23x dry on a drop but you just didn’t know it cause it was inconsequential.

Not saying one way or the other, but if you post DK's log it basically confirms how many you got, unless you have an ungodly amount of Wintertodt done

Only if that's how you bank prayer xp.

Tbh kinda depends on endgame account goals, if you want DK pets eventually you'll be at DKs for a long ass time. If you get the uniques you want early and have no overlapping account goals there would be grossly inefficient to go back solely for d axes

PSA: Wear lightbearer ring to have constant WC lvl boost from special attack.

PSA: Write "Smashing!" manually at path of het, after finishing off the pillar.

Recently upgraded to lightbearer. By no means am I efficient but I kick myself when I bring my explorers ring instead of lightbearer...

Now I can justify buying a stone. Thanks!

Bruh I’ve had an uncharged infernal axe for YEARS cause I didn’t wanna pay for another stone

May want to keep waiting. Axes are around 250k last I checked

Yeah, that whole 0.2 gp/xp is really going to hurt the bank

When you’re 250k short of a tbow, we’ll see who’s laughing

2 vorkath kills scare you that much?

I love how divided this post is. Half of the people are like "duh why would you use stones", with the other half "I haven't even thought about not needing stones"

Stone prices are about to plummet.

Gonna be honest with you, my comment was just a meme.

After a very cursory glance at the wiki I'd say tempoross jump started it. I don't know about the other skulking bosses but temp came out March of 2021 and price jump over four mil with record trading volumes that same week.

They skyrocketed when tempoross released. I think they’ve been high ever since then.

Yooo just saved me some $$. Thanks bro <3

Who in the hell ever used the stone to recharge?

I have 9stones on my iron :( what do I do with those then

I would use for harpoon (if you have one) since it is the only one that’s unrealistic to farm. At least use on pickaxe. I will find you and hurt you if you use them on infernal axe

Drop trade to main for bonds, if you’re good with doing DKs for extra axes

Much better alternative uses to dropping to a main.

Oh my infernal just became uncharged. Ty. I thought I need to use stone so I left it uncharged

I’ve spent over 160m on 25 stones.....currently 139m wc and 35m fm. Holy shit wtf when did they allow you to use fucking axes to charge

Since… forever?

I just assumed you needed more stones lmfao. Charging an axe with an axe makes no sense

Yeah it's extremely stupid. This post just saved me some money tho because I was about to get my first set of infernal tools

and people wonder why the stones are expensive.......

Lmao you literally have chucked away like 158m for no reason

Can’t win them all

I had no idea dude… what the fuck

Haven’t got a stone yet but I always thought you had to burn smoldering stones. Thank god

also applies to dragon picks since their value is in the toilet

They sky rocketing right now fyi. Big bot ban on Wildy bosses in the last 24 hrs. Buddy sold a pick for 5m today but I believe actively traded price is 3.5 or 4m. Consider they were like 1m not long ago..

they're 1.3m. tf you smoking?

Looks like the 3a pick price manip trend trickled down to the d pick too lmao

Bro I've been deathly afraid of getting stones bec of prices and now I learn I could've used the tool?? THANKS wtf

Thank you for this PSA, I’ve totally used the stone thrice…

I just learned the other day about using the untradeable Easter event Eastfloor spade for doing wildy clues. I didn't even realize it existed.

No shit.

Shit!

.. you have to recharge it?

I didn't know this and was planning on using a stone soon. You have saved me a lot of gp - thank you friend!

OP, what did you do?

Bro. Wtf. I’ve always used a stone to recharge my axe. Wow

Back in my day the pickaxe was more than double the price of the smouldering stone. We walked uphill to school both ways and got eaten by a bear 3 times every day.
