/rsg/ - Runescape General

Low-budget general edition

1st for extremely dead thread

...

So how fucked is the economy gonna be with the mining/smithing rework? Or can we trust jagdad to not fuck it up L O L

we're fucked

Zamorak is a nigger

>mining/smithing rework
I haven't had access to the internet for the past 3 days
what's happening?

go google it

>Not Bandos

Miningspan and smithingspan
next is agilityspan

> mfw this thread again

Basically

>smithing span and mining span with STACKABLE COAL?!!!?

>Rune is dead (lol tier 50 garbage)

>can now smith barrows esque armor with Necroite ore

>tons of armor can now be smashed into one big SUPER ARMOR aka "Masterwork"

>Its still better to buy stuff than it is to smith stuff. (smithed rune stuff is T43 instead of T50 like normal rune pl8's so as not to devalue bossing and whatnot)

>you can now create your own set effects and shit

>"Aethirium"?? is the new T90 armor thats gonna be the bees knees .

>smithing stuff is going to be geared towards PvM with maybe looking into PvP later down the line

>DUDE DUAL WIELD PICKAXES BRO!

>unsafe DnD that rewards you with better ores and shit but is filled with lots of monsters and traps

>Mining is basically a minigame sorta like Shooting Star but now with CRITICAL STRIKES! based on pickaxe levels and stuff

>update to Artisians workshop coming too

btw Shattered worlds is basically Canned as noone gave a fuck about it in the pols anyway

> MAGE AND RANGE GEAR GETTING LEFT BEHIND

All the new smithable shit is DOA because it's tank armor

Smith+ Minefag here - Should I keep increasing my level in both skills (70 atm) in hopes of cashing off the new armors while they're still fresh?

>in hopes of cashing off the new armors while they're still fresh
They won't be f2p so good luck with that

Also they wont be very profitable because people associate smithing products with being dirt cheap and easily made by the thousands

Unless the new ores are obnoxiously rare you'll see every scrub walking around in Aether like it's rune

>They won't be f2p so good luck with that

Why on earth would you expect otherwise?

Items past rune have never been f2p barring those shitty corrupt pvp armors

Memex really wants me to buy those fucking bonds, don't they?

I'm 3 million in and I'm already feeling my grasp on sanity loosening.

>f2p
>2016
It's been a useless husk of a demo since 2006

I haven't started playing "seriously" until maybe three days ago; I'm really trying to escape this restricted nightmare.

And atm I'm also fucking anxious that I won't be able to make another 12m before my first bond-membership ends.

the prices can't go much lower if they don't change the alch price
if they do then yes we're fucked

just pay with cash,save your gp for herblore

they will be changing the alch prices

why the fuck can't we make power armour anyway?

because in Runescape, defence (since the beginning of time) has been absolutely useless

people have always valued offense over defence so smithable power armor devalues armor drops from bosses

>just pay with cash

enjoy f2p hell my friend

Can't I just do slaying instead of herblore? Sounds like it's more down my alley.

You'll eventually do everything

but you need 94-96 herblore for overloads, untradable potions essential for high level PVM (including slayer)

Can I beat around that bush for a while though?

>STACKABLE COAL
rip coal bag

>necrite
>invictium
>aetherium
what is all this bullshit
where is dragon

Right before necrite?

Go play OSRS if you cant read.

the smithing rework didn't mention it at all

it literally did.

Watch the mining rework then you pleb.

Orikalk ore and before you get in a tizzy over this name it's been called this for years

it literally did not get fucked

I already knew it was gonna be called orikalkum since rune dragons were released

Well it was definitely mentioned

so far the only thing I've seen that actually sounds retarded is dual wielding pickaxes
it's not like they could make smithing and mining any worse anyway though

Yeah that sounds stupid

Instead of that they should just make craftable pickaxes tie into the masterwork smithing (and maybe require some harmonic dust)

can have one type of pick for harvesting more ore and another that sacrifices ore for xp

And only bossing autists would complain
Pkers and bossers truly are the cancer of Runescape

i hope the higher level pickaxes require a crystal pickaxe to forge

Everyone who plays Runescape is the cancer of Runescape tbqh

>people willing get on their knees for Goldberg's viswax
disgusting

>os players

>they will be changing the alch prices
and probably not the drop tables.
RIP SLAYER
RIP SPRING CLEANER

they'll have to change the drop tables eventually
r-right?

shud de fug up and buy de bonds :------DD

>smithing rework gets news
>runite ore isn't buying for 10k

*selling

They said they would adjust drop tables.

They're not that retarded, just mostly. The economy is still going to be in the toilet for a while.

panic sell ores

panic sell bars

panic sell coal, pickaxes, and hope

RIP SPRING CLEANER though

I did something today gamers!

you better have gotten quest cape before you even got one 99

You fucking shitter

When will this meme end?

No, it's retarded.

>120 is called TRUE MAX
no it isnt

dead thread

you should have left it to die

I already did that once today

just like slayer

>mfw i just did a mahogany bookcase challenge and got paid back in fucking rune ores

>10% exp bonus from aura overrides double exp from goldsmithing gloves

Why

jagex quality

it is actually

Can someone explain this combat triangle shit to me so I can be 100% clear on how things work
Is melee armor still what you use to defend against melee attacks or am I supposed to be using mage armor?

mage beats melee which beats ranged
they're all neutral to themselves
this couldn't be any simpler, it's just rock paper scissors

melee > ranged > magic > melee

you have bonus accuracy on things you are strong against, no change on things neutral, and a penalty to things you are weak against.

I understand the basics of the combat triangle; it's been like that since the beginning of time
But back before eoc, mage armor gave next to no defenses. I'm wondering if that's changed now and if mage armor is better than melee armor when facing melee enemies because right now it makes sense to me that if melee armor is strong against ranged then mage armor should provide more defense against melee attacks than the melee armor
Is that correct, or is melee armor what you should be wearing when killing melee oriented enemies?

Note, you also get an accuracy penalty if you are using a weapon that doesn't match your armor style.
There's also hybrid armor which is not aligned to any style, so you don't get a penalty when switching weapon styles, but your opponent doesn't get an accuracy loss based on their style.

>But back before eoc, mage armor gave next to no defenses.

>Is that correct, or is melee armor what you should be wearing when killing melee oriented enemies?
mage and ranged armor gives the same armor bonus as melee armor that's the same tier as it.

>I'm wondering if that's changed now and if mage armor is better than melee armor when facing melee enemies
it is
also using armour that is not the same style as your weapon gives you an accuracy penalty
like the other user said all armour in the same tier has the same defense but keep in mind that armour is now split in power armour and tank armour, the former increasing your damage bonus and the latter having slightly higher armour rating
there's also hybrid armour which doesn't penalize any attack styles and defends equally against all of them but has low armour rating compared to other armours of the same tier and no damage bonus

Alright, thanks for helping me be less retarded anons

Why is Jagex so terrible at balancing things?
>cade heal other becomes found out at vorago

Should have changed the reward to 2 onyx

Should have updated the xp/hour from it so it's not a total waste.

good luck on your adventures user

Who wants 2 fug

do you get any benefit out of sharing skill training dummies with other people?

it goes down faster

how much you pay

bleh
