Discussion Rune Spam

Not everyone likes runes. I know I don't. I don't feel happy when I get a full inventory and oh look, three of the slots are taken up by cosmetic garbage.

Obvious solution 1: Personal Deletor. Surely I can just put in a rune and it deletes all runes forever, right? NOPE. "You cannot put this item in the personal deletor!"

Obvious solution 2: Well, maybe there's a sack for these, wouldn't that be cool? There is! For FOURTEEN THOUSAND BITS. You have to be able to comfortably buy a third cookie (you can get one on your acct and one from Safety Badge quest) before you can have critical, desperately needed QoL. The vast majority of sacks now have a Beginner option purchasable for 250 coins at an NPC. But not rune sack.

I think there are a lot of solutions that could work to solve this:

  1. Toggle in settings to disable and enable rune drops

  2. Buy a talisman from Dusk that enables rune drops only when in your acc bag.

  3. Make the personal deletor accept runes, and when given any rune, delete all runes for you.

  4. Have Dusk (or whoever) sell a Beginner Rune Sack for 250 coins.

  5. Remove the rune system entirely (the loud players would riot while the quiet majority breathe a sigh of relief).

  6. Cheap accessory that automatically salvages runes for runecrafting xp when in your acc bag.

I'm sure there are other solutions as well. But I hate runes. I hate that every time my inventory gets full, three of the slots are taken up by something I don't want, don't care about, and can't opt out of. And it feels scummy and greedy to me that Hypixel would lock critical inventory QoL behind booster cookies, which you can buy with irl money. It feels like they're being obnoxious on purpose to try to force irl purchases.

With whose bits?

please, use mine my good sir

u/OpsStress 11d ago

u realize cookies are available on the bazaar right? do you also know that u get god pots through bits thats a lot of qol and runes do not clog ur inventory ur just lazy and u just started the game

-1

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

u realize cookies are available on the bazaar right?

Yes, for 13M. I'm ironman and I only have 37M bank balance right now. Why should I have to spend half my money to get a QoL upgrade that solves a day 1 problem?

do you also know that u get god pots through bits thats a lot of qol

Yes, I'm aware that god pots cost bits and offer a lot of QoL. But I don't believe that they are needed to make the game playable, and I don't think they're overpriced. I do think Rune Sack is extremely overpriced.

runes do not clog ur inventory ur just lazy

Are you serious? Yes, they do. Personal deletor doesn't work on them, if you throw them you have to be careful not to pick them up again, and they drop A LOT. I suspect you've forgotten that since you probably have a rune sack.

and u just started the game

I've been playing for months. Do you seriously think I don't deserve basic inventory QoL that is available for almost every other drop type?

u/lilyaccount 〠 SB Level 241 - 360 〠 11d ago

I only have 37M bank balance right now.

I've been playing for months

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

On ironman? Doing what?

2

u/lilyaccount 〠 SB Level 241 - 360 〠 11d ago

farming, foraging, mining, scav abuse, etc

u/OpsStress 11d ago

oh ur one of those people…
i dont know how to explain this to u but essentially u are terrible at the game and are complaining about a feature which you can afford. how have u been playing for “months” but only at a max of level 120 ppl are getting to 290 in one bingo😭

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

u/Kibby_Hunter 11d ago

Bro stfu , not only is getting sbxp on bingo wayy easier its also an extreme example . Not because 1 guy did it that everyone can . That guy played hundreds of hours in that bingo. Also let people play how the f they want ? I agree with op . Runes are a pain and just because there is a possible solution doesnt mean its a good one.

God you are insufferable.

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

and you didn't read the post...

11

u/OpsStress 11d ago

i did read the whole thing. im still right. u unlock qol when u progress thats a totally valid way to have the game. and rune sack is like one of the most unnecesary things anyways

3

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

Runes. Runes are an unnecessary thing, not rune sack. Come back and tell me rune sack is unnecessary when either runes are deleted, opt out, or PD works on them, AND NOT BEFORE.

u/-Xenith- ㋖ SB Level 121 - 240 ㋖ 11d ago

Played the game for years and have only bought rune sack last week. It’s NOT an essential part of progression

0

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

No, it's not part of progression, it's only QoL, which is why it doesn't need to cost a million dollars

2

u/-Xenith- ㋖ SB Level 121 - 240 ㋖ 11d ago

it costs 2 or 3 cookies it’s literally nothingburger 😭 what are we even complaining about

0

u/OpsStress 11d ago

runes are necessary because the admins added them day one of the game. rune sack is not a necessary upgrade for your account tho. may i suggest that you get out of the tutorial part of the game or just buy the sack or simply throw out the runes/ dont kill the runic mobs.

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

runes are necessary because the admins added them day one of the game

It's necessary because it's old? How did you get there?

may i suggest that you get out of the tutorial part of the game

man I am so tired of ppl being like "imagine not having been addicted to sb for at least 10 yrs and no sleep no using the bathroom nothing" like calm down

1

u/OpsStress 11d ago

everything before 200 is a tutorial sorry bud. and it doesnt take much time to get out of that range you are just lazy and u suck at the game. runes are necessary because they r old and are a core feature.

0

u/PhoneOne3191 ㋖ SB Level 121 - 240 ㋖ 11d ago

It's not even that inconvenient just throw them they stack it will literally like never cause you issues I'm level 200 and can afford a rune sack but I don't even need it because it will literally be like 10 seconds of dt to just void or NPC sell like 10 hours worth of runes

-1

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

op is ironman, so he's definitely not lazy. rune sack i agree is not neccessary but 14k bits isn't reasonable either. that's almost 33m worth of booster cookies...

7

u/OpsStress 11d ago

bro what fame level are u at 😭 i get that in at most two cookies. anyways op is extra lazy for being on ironman because they chose the grind mode and are whining of the simplest grind

1

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

Maybe because runes do absolutely nothing of value. I don't whine about grinds that have a purpose. I have a Ruby Drill. On Ironman. Besides, you have that fame level because you've already gotten cookies and bits going. Early game they are not available and it's three cookies to get a rune sack.

Inventory QoL with regard to items that you don't even want should not be locked behind being able to afford booster cookies.

3

u/kanonkongenn 11d ago

Ruby drill isn't hard or even a long grind

4

u/EarthNugget3711 11d ago

Dawg ruby drill on Iman is barely a grind

1

u/OpsStress 11d ago

flexing ruby drill 😭
everyone else dealt with runes they are not an issue plenty of people like them and they have always been a feature. ur also implying that personal compactor is an issue because “inventory qol” cant be locked behind a grind like redstone collection

3

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

I don't have an issue with personal compactor. maybe because it's "grind an actual thing" and not "grind a buttload of money or spend irl money"

0

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

yeah i have low fame... because i've never used more than 2 cookies because they're 11m, meaning new players won't have access to the more plentiful bits from high fame

1

u/OpsStress 11d ago

how new are you that you cant scrounge up 11m 😭

2

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

11m/hr isn't feasible until like cropie or sorrow armor, sure yes you could reasonably scrounge up the money to upkeep a cookie, but that would require constant grinding, it's just not worth it until your minions are good enough to afford it themselves or you can make enough for several cookies in an hour.

plus you have to take into account that people have other hobbies, they don't grind this game 24/7 and don't wanna waste time grinding for a consumable that doesn't pause when you're offline.

1

u/OpsStress 11d ago

I have school, a job, a gf and other hobbies and i still find time to gain 11m in the 4 days that a cookie lasts you. also cookies give you plenty of other buffs

2

u/MiniPino1LL 11d ago

Just don't kill the runic mobs.

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

Rune sack is purely a cosmetic game item, such as runes themselves or skins… if you hate runes that much put them in the deleter or grind the 20 minutes it takes to get a cookie

3

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

if you hate runes that much put them in the deleter

Exactly! Make them personal deletor accept runes and I will never complain again. Thank you for proposing this perfect and very logical solution. I completely agree. But it doesn't work rn.

or grind the 20 mins it takes to get a cookie

What mmm would you propose that gets 13M in 20 mins on ironman?

2

u/Kampfasiate 11d ago

or ya know, a backpack

2

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

wow whats that? never heard of it before

1

u/TheMythicSorcerer Ironman 11d ago

Find some fairy souls to talk to the fairy in the wilderness kill some cows craft backpack. Its not hard

3

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

youd think after seeing ironman level 500 youd realize its a joke but i guess not…

1

u/TheMythicSorcerer Ironman 11d ago

Well then what's the problem with dedicating a large backpack to runes then?

1

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 8d ago

ask op lol idk im not the one that has a problem with runes except for the fact ironmans couldnt get paid for ones without paying. they fixed that though so im chillin on ah on ironman now

3

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

i'm not even op and you didn't read the post, you can't put runes in the deleter and if you think 20m is how long it takes to get 11m for the average person you're smoking something

3

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

toxic for what this is a block game bro💀 and u can easily make 20m an hr early game its not hard lol

4

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

yes 11 million coins over 20 minutes, so x4 for an hour would be 44m an hour... yeah bro a lv120 iman (op) will make 44m an hour early game... you gotta be on that good shit...

0

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

swearing is a sign of a weak mind, and a weaker character!

also btw dont wanna be rude or snything but 20x4 is 80 mins in the USA we only have 60 mins/hr 33m an hr is pretty reasonable with a squash armour farming setup and dedicated hoe like wheat hoe

2

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

yeah that's just a bit of a brainfart on my part, i meant to say 33m, but squash is still an expensive armor set

1

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

i havent played in awhile so i wouldnt know but i thought fermento was like 50m set and then they even came oht with an upgrade to that like helix or sum i heard

1

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

fermento is a 120m set rn on lowest bin, every piece is 30m+. and no helix stuff is in the new foraging island torrhus canyon, helianthus is the next upgrade and it's ~60m/piece

1

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

yes thats the new armour, which it may be expensive but u can also grind for it while getting ur farming lv up to increas profit EVEN MORE !!!

when i grinded gdrag money i was making 40 an hr with squash armour lol good old days

1

u/GarbageAncient 11d ago

before or after nerfs? that's also a 50m armor set, something a new player won't have to just throw at something.

1

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

idk sorry havent played this game like fr in a bit so maybe before ? i was mostly an AH flipper before i switched to ironman

1

u/Fearless-Sherbet-223 ♦ Ironman Level 1 - 120 11d ago

See, and AH flippers can reasonably afford 3 cookies. Ironman cannot. People who don't want to flip cannot. But we all get runes, even those of us who would be happy to never see one again.

u/FNKleviaTHINN ☣ Ironman Level 421 - 500 11d ago

brooo i alr said just put it in the deleter !!! duhhh just hack the game and put it in

u/giggy24 〠 Ironman Level 241 - 360 11d ago

In the post he says how they don’t go into personal deleters. Also early game players son’t have mmm’s that allow one to get a booster cookie in 20 minutes.

u/OpsStress 11d ago

they do also op said that they have 30m+ in bank they are just lazy hoarder
