You can even turn on legacy mode if you really want, that's literally old school combat but with the downside that past like... Idunno, 70 combat stats it deals way less damage than even a lazy EoC revolution bar. I know some gimmick accounts have done a lot with legacy mode combat but it's so sloooow e: also play ironman and easily avoid all mtx nonsense

The combat hotbar is what made me bounce off RS3 and play OSRS instead as a person who hadn't played either until 2021.

The money pouch and tool belt could be considered decent QoL for RS3 depending on who you ask. A lot of people don't want it in OSRS but there's no denying it does make life easier.

I don't like my game being difficult. Life is difficult enough, give me a money pouch and a toolbelt and easier to level skills. Give me a stack of combat dummies so I can just do that while chatting poo poo in the GE, instead of killing rock crabs for hours and hours or whatever I used to do back in the day. I mean gently caress most of my runescape experience in the day was fishing lobsters in catherby to sell to people so I could get stupid poo poo like a dark cav hat

Also hi it's been a while since I cared about this lovely game I love. I'm back under a new name with a new account because my last one got banned for macroing after I quit in 2018. Thanks, bot farms. I hope you got more than just my arma staff and virtus set out of my account before it got caught New name is "thegoatsi" and I'm not planning on getting members until I have all the non members requirements for priff. Pray for me.

Niavmai posted:okay, but... why not just play a different game at that point? Ah thats easy, runescape still hit a bunch of buttons in my brain that I did enjoy for one, like the massive amounts of skills and things to unlock even if it was a pain doing so! and also at the time I didn't have other games to play. As a poor kid it was the closest to WoW etc I could afford at the time (taking into consideration not only the subscription but also the cost of a pc to run it when all we had was essentially an office pc or the school ones in the library), plus my friends and my cousin played it. Plus I did enjoy things in the game, castlewars was amazing fun, as was pest control and stuff As an adult I like playing RS3 because with the easier grind I'm hitting levels I never did as a kid, and getting to explore a game where the story has progressed in ways I never expected. The easier QoL stuff in RS3 also makes it a lot more practical to play casually and it's fun for me. I never have to fish lobsters now I can just buy and sell a bond if I really want to get something nice

you know, runescape does satisfying progression better than any other game i know there's something magical about going from "oh, mm, i dunno, do i really need ahrim's? its so expensive, and really, mystic is probably fine..." to "oh, it'll only cost 10mil to get that upgrade? sure, i can make that in a day or two easy." especially because once you have the bigger upgrades things snowball further and you can make even better money

Sab669 posted:I can't believe I'm playing Runescape again. I think clicking on the Social category in the bottom right there (two dudes with hoods icons) and picking any of the chat icons will do it. You could also hit escape and hit Edit Layout then choose a layout to load from the drop-down; I think they just improved the New Player preset to be less rear end and that should also restore your chat box. The Edit Layout is powerful, though, once you know what works for you you can use it to customize things to your heart's desire. You may also be interested in the command that locks UI bits in place and makes them uncloseable--mine is Shift+L but I don't know if that's the default. As for the activity tracker, it's a bit weird and unintuitive, but the stuff on there is really tracked categories of stuff; if you start a new quest it should replace the Pirate's Treasure thing, and if you get a new slayer task it should replace the Spiders thing. If you don't care about tracking either of those, you can customize what's on the activity tracker by going into Hero (compass icon in the bottom right) and then the Activity Tracker tab, then clicking on the trash can icon.

That looks like Sorceress's Garden actually. I've always found it kind of fiddly but yeah, I'd imagine it's a lot easier than Blackjacking. Blackjacking is way too drat clicky. Cash on ironman becomes less of a problem once you get to the point where you can high alch things. After that, there's a lot of monsters that drop addy/rune gears that you can high alch for income.

I did sorceress's garden from 65 to 82 and it was insanely goddamn good, its 140k exp an hour*. After that I did a mix of pyramid plunder and vyres until 91, pyramid plunder until 93 or so, and then (once I'd gotten SotE done), a mix of elves and occasional pyramid plunder. (*with the right timing you can do the entire summer garden in a single click, no MGS-skills required. ...there's a runelite plugin that makes this even easier by tracking the positions for you) I got the final level with Sorceress' Garden juice I'd banked before, because it was the easiest place to get thieving exp in a free world area, for ease of telegrabbing my original untrimmed cooking cape. You should never ever ever do blackjacking in 2022, unless you hate yourself and want a RSI. Yes, it's technically the theoretical fastest but it's so much clicking and so little profit. Elves at 95 or so give you ~135k exp an hour, which is half the rate of ardougne knights or pyramid plunder, however...  Having the full rogue's outfit makes elves a money maker on par with vorkath. Except they require no gear and are completely mindless!! TL;DR - if you use runelite, Menu-entry swapper + a PS4/Xbox controller with buttons mapped to Left Click/F-keys (for arceuss spellbook) is your best friend. If you use mobile, pyramid plunder is your best friend because it's stupidly fast and you have a chance at a sceptre, so it's also half-decent money wise. edit: also, re: vyres/elves - bloodshard is like, 3 times the price of crystal shard, but 5 times the droprate. It's better to steal from vyres when, say, something like ToA has jacked up the price of bloodshards sky-high, and elves are better at all other times. The exp rates are otherwise pretty comparable IIRC. Blaziken386 fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Nov 2, 2022 |

I vaguely recall Scimitars were favorable for... reasons? way way way back when I used to play. Is there still a general "best general weapon"? I've seen some things that are weak to Crushing and whatnot so I assume it's probably best to craft a Slashing, Stabbing and Crushing weapon and use what the monsters you fight are weak to? Also I skimmed the wikia for 2h and it seems like it's the same exact damage as dual wield just different power attacks? So is it just like a matter of preference? And bust out a Shield if I feel like I need extra survivability at some point? I seem to recall back in the day it was only either sword'n'board or 2h, don't recall dual wield being a thing.

Scimitars were best because they A looked badass and B attacked every 4 ticks as opposed to 5 ticks for a longsword, so you have 25% more opportunities to do damage even if the strength bonus may not be as high
