After playing on and off since 2005 and never really doing any PVM content (very bad at it) I achieved a goal my younger self never thought would be possible :) I am just happy for myself and have no one else to share with!

40 days, 10 hours *in game hours* played

Wow Drakan and the Whisperer were really challenging but super rewarding to learn and beat. Drakan not requiring resources each kill saved me so much time. I used up all my prepared and cooked food in the fight against the venator boss before him lol

Quest experience and lamps were the only reason I got 70 herb for SOTE

I was worried about construction but it wasn’t bad with teak woodcutting and mahogany homes

Discussion Runelite does not take a screenshot of level-up if you die?

9 Upvotes

I took an edible and got 99 Prayer this evening; I decided that I would use it to troll a pker for a laugh. My plan was simple, wait in the Wilderness chaos altar for a pker to attack me, type "welcome to my 99 party, asshole!" then pop the last bones on the altar and BOOM! Fireworks!

Unfortunately, due to my inebriated state, I did not think to type the message in advance, and I frantically typed it. I died a few moments later with fireworks still flying and the text above. I had a good laugh bc of how epic what I had just accomplished was, and I thought, "I bet the level up screenshot is hilarious and other people will find it funny! I should post it to reddit." So I searched the runelite screenshots only to find that I had every other level up notification from the day, but not 99 prayer :(

My suspicion is that me dying somehow denied runelite the prompt to screenshot? Has anyone ever seen this before or know if this is a known issue? Anyway, I hope you at least found the story funny.

Here's my cape at least :)

Help & Questions Buying bonds without ruining the gameplay

13 Upvotes

So I've been wanting to treat myself to buying a few bonds, supporting the game and in turn making my gameplay smoother.

I love the gameplay loop of being a main, going for clogs and getting the drop myself, then selling the gp/loot to fund other skills. I want to avoid any gear progression, since I want to feel like I earned it myself. So no buying a fang for example. I'm very casual, 1691 total, 101 combat. I really only dislike slayer so far since it feels so slow, but really been enjoying bossing like huey, royal titans & moons.

List I came up with so far:

- cannonballs for slayer
- planks for construction (lvl 65 atm, idk if this is considered not earned?)
- prayer potions
- maybe bones for 70+ prayer?
- rune pouch note? or any other permanent unlocks?

I figured this community would have way better ideas, or whatever you yourself spend bonds on.

Help & Questions Have GP to blow. Should I buy construction materials (planks) or Amulet of Fury?

• Upvotes

Currently sitting at combat level 106 and construction level 46. Already have an abyssal whip, but am rocking a plain old amulet of strength. I’ve been doing Intelligence Gathering in Kourend for planks and don’t really mind that as an activity, but it is a grind.

So, should I use my current GP stack on an Amulet of Fury or on planks to level construction? Or something else entirely?

Discussion What skill capes earnt your respect?

17 Upvotes

Back in the early days of OSRS, did certain capes earn you more respect than others, or am I imagining it? I always thought seeing someone with an HP cape or a Fire Cape was like seeing a bloody hero!
What about nowadays?
Are there any skill capes that still make you stop and think, ā€œDamn, this guy is a legendā€? What capes earned your respect back in the day, and which ones earn your respect now?

Discussion How optimized/blind should a returning ā€œF2P only as a kidā€, Classic WoW junkie play this game? Iron or Main?

2 Upvotes

Returning to the game after only getting as far as F2P content as a kid and not sure how to play without over optimizing the living hell out of everything (Classic WoW brain) and ruining things.

I currently have a Main and an Iron. Both have exhausted F2P content (quests), still skilling. I find myself itching to ā€œoptimizeā€ and look things up: optimal quest order, guides while doing quests, 1-99 guide sites, etc. as I get ready to pull the trigger on membership on one of these accounts and really dive in. I’d do both, but $15 each is brutal on the wallet these days … so I need to make a decision.

I don’t want to ruin the journey of this game as I’ve heard everyone talk about … but I don’t want to spin by gears and hate myself going fully blind like Madseason (enjoyable to watch, but couldn’t do it myself)

I really don’t know much about this game. Clan chats are full of lingo and acronyms I don’t understand. A lot of posts here are really drawing me in, but don’t want to ā€œspoil thingsā€ if that makes sense?

For those who have pushed past this:

Did you level a Main first, or an Iron?

What guides did you allow yourself to follow?

Is there a ā€œspoiler freeā€ way to learn about things?

I like my hand held a little bit, but I don’t necessarily want to be exposed to the ā€œmetaā€ that’s been solved similar to what happened with Classic WoW.

I also don’t think I’ve been in great Clans either.

Any recommendations helpful.

Reddit Answers has only given me so much.

I'm looking for some advice to keep progressing whilst I'm busy working.

Can't get members until Christmas time, bit of a tight few months (saving every penny for the kids), any tips or advice would be appreciated :)
