reee why did jagex have to ruin f2p runecrafting challenges

>he doesn't make 610 body runes for fun

what happened

Old challenge was runespan, now it's making 610 essence body runes (i.e. making multiple runes does not count, you have to consume that much ess). The new one eats into bank space, takes more time, and is the same shitty xp as the old one.

610 essence into body runes *

>being f2p

>not having multiple alts

its also stupid because even the f2p rc urns are only usable on non ironmen because they have to be activated with pure essence

Doesn't giant mole drop it?

Gettin' there

thanks, I never even thought about that because I thought only kbd was f2p
what website is that?

Runeclan

No problem, just remember you'll be getting regular essence when you turn in the rc challenge.

pretty sure rc/runespan dailies have always been around.
it's random which type you get similar to pickpocket/pyramid plunder dailies.

I'm gonna get 50 rc and then go get my magic to 55 by:

30 from burthope trolls
60 from safespotting ogres in yanille

after that i'll just do dg until 90 or 95

not sure how i'll get the t60 staff on dg though. i'm definately not going to get 68 fletching for it.

In f2p after a certain level you only got runespan challenges. At least, that's what I got dozens of times consecutively until the urn update.

You should be doing quests.
Not other shit.

runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Quests/Strategy

>doing quests
>shit that gives me pitiful amounts of exp in skills that i currently don't care about & can train in more efficient manners

sure, i'll do Monkey Madness, The Grand Tree and the kind; but quests in general? fuck that.

careful yuo'll trigger the qp autists

wew lad
you're dumb as fuck aren't you
Pretty much everything good is locked behind quests.

>everything good is locked behind quests
how retarded do you have to be to believe that shit?

you can get 99 EASY on firemaking, cooking, fletching, crafting, smithing and herblore with JUST FREE PORTABLES from the portables FC

Divination, Summoning, Fishing, Runecrafting, Dungeoneering and several other skills are completely gr8 without many quests

you only really need to unlock priff & menaphos to get decent skilling locations; more than 200qp is just to show off.

>gnome quests
>haven't explicitly seen Glough since 2004
>last gnome-centered quest was 2011

...

Without crystallize, the xp rates on gathering skills is terrible.
Without bane, you can't earn any money.
Without sliske's meme set, hunter is absolute fucking cancer.
Without curses, you're not going to be doing much of anything.
Without crystal mask, you're basically fucked for thieving until you hit 93ish.
etc.

I can't be assed to remember all the BiS stuff unlocked by quests for a retard.

And the amount of xp quests give is not "tiny"
Sliske's endgame gives 1m xp, which for something

Besides, quests have actual gameplay, unlike mindless grinding.
Why would someone play video games, if not for the gameplay?

>without bane, you can't earn any money
L M F A O

without quests you can't tp to either gwd is a better one

max guild portal

How can player choice exist if everything is determined by the probabilities of particles bouncing around inside the brains of Chinese investors?

You need t90s to reliably farm telos and spoder.
Please, do tell how you expect to get the money for them in any reasonable amount of time without doing qbd?

>requires quests to get to

>bane is required for qbd meme
Remember you also need 99 herb and 99 pray to do any combat at all :^)

Just to unlock priff
It's not about not doing any quests, just the useful ones

As i said; you don't need more than 200qp for those quests.

There are hundreds of quests in this game that have pitiful rewards and completely irrelevant post-quest content, such as:

Recipe for Disaster
Druidic Ritual
Carnillean Rising
The Death of Chivalry
Legend's Quest
Myths of the White Lands
The Chosen Commander
Rune Mechanics
Curse of Arrav
Elemental Workshop
Salt in the Wound

i could spend all night making this list; but you get the idea.

The point is: only questlines really worth doing are the elves, mahjarrat, sliske's and guthix shit, and they don't take more than 200 qp at all.

It takes 300 qp to get to anything close to the best rates in the game

WGS and ROTM both need around 300 gp
WGS itself has a hard req of 270
What kind of retard are you smoking?

no it doesn't

if you are this retard you need curse of arrav to get The Light Within

read again
I said about doing useful quests, not doing none
if it's worth doing, sure
but doing them just to get a useless cape is wasting time

wgs literally has a 270 qp req

>There are people itt that still haven't done all quests

I wanted more so I did them all again on OSRS

I'm using sunspear as a main weapon for melee and mage.
Should i change for something better

yes

>200qplet gets btfo
>stops posting

errytiem

what's the best way to farm levels for the "hard" followers on temple trek? i know for easy/med you can just afk snails with a snelm on but i figure the weak guys will take a gorillion years to kill those

should i just rush down the hard path as fast as possible?

slutblades for melee
furfag wand and attuned crystal orb made from the free seed for mage

>guy mentions how bad runescape "quests" are
>autists start sperging

yup
just rush the path and hope they ding from that
I don't even know if they can level from combat

what is furfag wand?

gwd2 wand

terrific

why is quests between quotes
would you rather do wow quests aka slayer tasks

It doesn't take that long, honestly.
what takes a while is farming the lumberjack shit
though I got it in under an hour

It takes like 5 hours with high efford

It's almost like gwd2 exists or something. Or just doing slayer because ascensions are really cheap anyway. At no point is QBD ever really worth it to do, aside from just some pet chance.

Lumberjack is fast now that you cant get duplicates
Used to be aids

>wow and runescape are the only games that exist
holy shit

give me your example then

they're the only two schools of quest design
casual shit not worth mentioning
and point and click adventure

Finishing a task without a soul is really heartbreaking.

Fuck Hydrix Dragons, 500+ dry so far.

Ohohoho that's amateur numbers

Is 2m per qbd good?

>per
qbd confirmed casual 65m+ an hour, 80m if you actually try

What can I do that's afk on a near maxed account? doesn't have access to any new content since 2013
anything good gp while afk outside of prif and menaphos? don't care for xp

quests

its an alt, I don't want to quest on it I just want to afk gp while on main

I heard that people use divination on their alts for idle cash. Incandescent energy is 2m/hour and transmuting addy ore to runite is 2.4m/hour (according to rs wiki). Cursed energy is over 3m/hour, but it's in the wilderness so you might not want to bother.

ded

well shit. I'm 1 div on my alt.
guess I'll just cut elder trees in the meantime or something

how the fuck do I request assist other players I dont see the fucking option on the right click

>your perfect pet is going to win the prayer vote
Good feeling : - )

gear > game settings > aid settings > assistance requests > on

>only 2 out of 7 combat pets will be decent
polling was a mistake

look at the other skill pets
it wouldn't be any better if it were up to jagex to decide

Roo and Ghost?

pets were a mistake

>cleaning out your bank for junk when you suddenly realize you're rich

>not even 100m
"rich"

Why are perfect juju mining 70k for 3 dose?

oh boy more cosmetic cancer

I'm surprised they're gonna be clue rewards and not on SGS/TH

That entire news post essentially contains no new information. We already knew they were "working" on all that shit, and it doesn't seem like they've made any significant progress since they last informed us.

There is this, however:
>Bank Rework
>Once the team's time is available to do the groundwork, we'll crack on with this project as a high priority.
I thought they said they had made at least some progress on it, but now they're saying that they don't even have the groundwork laid out or even manpower allocated to it?

What a good thing to smith while using augmented crystal hammer?

How the fuck is she holding those daggers

With her hands, are you fucking stupid?

>they changed the wording
>Once the team's time is available to do some further, essential groundwork, we'll continue with this project as a high priority.
Nice damage control, but it still implies that they've barely started, at best.

>instead of fixing the player models we'll be reworking areas that nobody ever visits
>oh and they'll all have the same bland appearance
>bank rework hasn't been started btw
LITERALLY WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN DOING THIS ENTIRE YEAR

>put up job posting for developers for new MMO
>no one applies because no one wants to work at Jagex
>re-assign devs from RuneScape to new MMO
This is my guess. Menaphos didn't have nearly enough content to explain why they've made zero progress on anything. This goes beyond their usual incompetence, so I don't think it's that, either.

Let's not forget they fired like two thirds of their staff in 2014 or 2015 and indirectly complained about being undermanned the following years

>mining/smithing came second to the bank rework
>they haven't even started working on the bank rework
What the fuck are these people's priorities?

How long until we have cosmetic-only mounts?
That would be another promise they'd break along with the "no wings" deal they had a couple years ago.
