/rsg/ - Runescape General

I fucking hate this game. I can't fucking kill QBD and I'm broke as fuck.

so do slayer or div or something like that
also you know bosses have a practice mode right

I've only ever fought her in practice mode. Last time I tried at combat level 119 and died several times. This time I'm combat level 123 with extremes and turmoil and I still can't fucking kill her. And each time it costs me 150+k. Fucking waste of money.

Are you using bane?

Slayer or Div doesn't pay enough. My slayer tasks pay like 1 mil every hour if I'm lucky.

You have super antis?
What weapons?

Is menaphos fishing faster than waterfall?
That is with the fish catch rate tier upgrade.

post gear

Most of morvy's tasks give a fair whack more than 1m an hour, and high level div is like 2-3m an hour.

No, last time I was using shadow glaives. This time I tried using my drygores. I can't forge the damn royal crossbow, so I'd be using rune crossbows if I were to use dragonbane bolts.

Faster than barb fishing
Not faster than priff

No

Is that incandescent energy?

Post your abilty rotation

zemouregal being updated is extremely jarring against the rest of these goons who are still stuck in 2009. why haven't they put sliske's new model in here?

Shadow glaives, Virtus and drygores. I have overloads.

I have 84 slayer and don't have Priff. Not ever close.

>pic related
I just bought the ascension 5 minutes ago. Haven't even used it yet.

oh you fucking idiot
Melee is the worst style of combat to use against the dragon, you'd be better off using mage because that's actually valid in some instances.
You need to use bane, massive accuracy buff, either get a chaotic mainhand or make do with an armadyl crossbow as a MH, pair it with the shadow glaive, or ideally death lotus darts as an offhand because accuracy only matters for MH.

I think elders are actually worth more at this point but not sure of liquidity, incans are also pretty good.

>don't have Priff. Not ever close.
Well you should get that.
Also now that you've got what I'm assuming is a MH asc, pair it with an offhand glaive and bane to maximize dps, it'll do more damage than dual ascs with banes.

Here they are.

Dont even bother using ascencion bolts
Get bane

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING

I used melee because I sold my main-hand Shadow Glaive so I could buy a main-hand Ascension, but the damn thing wouldn't buy at median price and I didn't have enough money to offer more. So I had to sell my shields, then I just managed to get one a few minutes ago. Drygores were the best I had at the time. I don't have ports anything.

I've heard about the thrown offhand doing more damage than offhand crossbow. Makes no sense to me, but okay. Priff will probably take me months. I'd rather try to make money or get some good gear.

Fuck, that's the wrong pic.

So bane bolts > ascension bolts.
Okay, I'll do that.

I looked up those rotations on Youtube. They weren't specifically for QBD.

>>I've heard about the thrown offhand doing more damage than offhand crossbow.
Crossbow is ammo + c'bow, thrown is just weapon. Bane is less damage than the base damage of a shadow glaive
>Priff will probably take me months.
>I'd rather try to make money or get some good gear.
Priff is more important than money or gear because fucking everything, and I do mean everything is in one place that also happens to be easy to navigate.
Far more important for leveling and getting money in the long term than just grinding.

Your rotations suck. Straight up that.
runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Revolution/Bars
Get them from here.

Ascension bolts are better on task than bane fyi

Hold on a second. I need to complete Ritual of the Mahjarrat to make dragonbane bolts? I thought you could buy them in the GE.

That won't be happening anytime soon.

>questlet tries to do qbd
quests are some of the most important content in the game
you want anything good, you gotta do quests

Time to quest. The Royal Crossbow can wait.

are you buying bonds, goy?
how do you have overloads and turmoil and can’t kill qbd?
you don’t even have noob quests completed

I'll have to be making no progress, forever just to get the stats required. I was planning on doing it during the next dxp weekend.

Thanks for the link. I'll restructure my ability bars.

Good to know. Thanks.

>questlets

why the fuck are your stats so unbalanced

I'd do quests no problem. But each quest needs hours of farming the most boring skills on Earth before I can start them.
I trained herblore over the last 2 dxp weekends and turned a profit. I used that money to train prayer. Dragonbones and chaos altar.

Half of the skills in this game are horrifically boring to train. I avoided training all the mindless, monotonous ones.

You have 2 options.
Train skills you don’t like so you can do quests and unlock good stuff.
Or
Don’t do quests and be stuck not being able to kill the easiest boss in the game.

Your choice.

>I avoided training all the mindless, monotonous ones
>81 woodcutting

What exactly do I need to kill QBD? Just the dragonbane bolts?

I haven't touched woodcutting in over 8 years. It used to be my highest skill back in the day when it used to make you really good money.

You’ll need 77 Mining to mine the ore, Lunar Spellbook, 82 Smithing to smith the bolts, and then 80 Fletching to feater them.
Good luck.

Quitting this game for good is seeming like an increasingly better option. I only ever comeback for dxp weekends anyways. Even then I don't have fun grinding away abilities.

I should just go back to playing fun games.

Yeah, you should.

I hear Guild Wars 2 isn't very grindy.

I quit awhile ago and I have thoughts of coming back and I have to talk myself out of it.

why do the mahjarrat stand like that?

>tfw you realize runescape is junk
>inb4 m-muh below average quests

It's just way too fucking time consuming. It's fucking ridiculous. That with a 10+ year old account and how many fucking days of playtime and I still can't do shit.

You’re just not doing it right.
People have maxed ironman in less than a year. Way less than that, actually.

I actually was pretty lazy for awhile when it came to Runescape. I have a 10+ year account as well. Only before I quit did I make an effort to max which I got very close to doing but the game is not fun for me anymore. Yet it still calls to me.

Just max it. What’s left?

>I avoided training all the mindless, monotonous ones.
>81 wc
>55 dg
I'm confused

Thieving, Agility and Runecrafting. All above 90's I did consider a lot of getting back on, maxing and then leaving again. But that means I'd I would actually have to get back on.

If you don't mind watching YT/Movies etc. on half your screen the mindless ones become bearable.

Why when you click on a combat ability do you stand their with your thumb up your ass until it's on cooldown sometimes? It'll queue it up sometimes, but it'll also freeze if there's as much as a quarter left until cooldown too.

Spotted stealing shit

>half your screen
>only having one monitor

...

How do you know which thresholds are most optimal? It doesn't mention those.

Keep going in the quest. They all revive to updated models.
As to why Zemmy is already unskulled, I'm not quite sure.

Thieving is AFK for near 5 minutes straight with boosts at prif.
Agility is just clicking one spot with a proper camera angle and never actually needing to move the mouse.
Runecrafting is either mostly AFK at runespan, or 200k-300k/h with abyss. If I remember correctly. Maybe more with souls, but that's questlocked behind a rep system.

Multimonitor systems often add latency, have questionable compatibility with older programs, terrible sync off primary
They are generally, overall, a waste of space, power, time, and effort.
I'd opt for one good monitor over several, even if they're all good too.

>this level of sour grapes
O, im laffin

>herblore and prayer higher than any other skills
Just buy keys and bxp on some of the others. I mean you're already willing to spend irl money on buyables.

>150 days of extended dungeoneering challenges left until level 115
someone fix this minigame

Do Sinkholes too.

no, I hate group content

It's not like you have to hold hands. It's the kind of group content that Mario Party is.

>I hate group content
>plays an MMO
N-nani?

>runescape
>an mmo
the concept of mmos was invented after runegame was birthed and the label haphazardly slapped on

>a role-playing game that is massively multiplayer and online
It wasn't haphazard. The game fits the literal definition of the genre.

The definitions of abbreviations and/or other terms whose names escape me right now, are often not literal especially when it comes to shit like this, there are plenty of influencing factors (good example is the differences between how japan and the west view the definition of roleplaying, one as acting the other as d&d); runescape is not like other mmos because it is from a time before wow destroyed originality in gameplay design and codified in the eye of the people what an MMO really is.

So when people say MMO they mean something that was influenced by wow where group content is essentially a mainstay of the genre, whereas runescape is essentially a solo game with chat slapped on top, mostly because of lack of skill of the gower brothers.

So yes, people who dislike group content play runescape because runescape is a solo game with chat, not an MMO as is popularly understood.

Enjoy your sweet lemons.
I have 6 working monitors, and have used multimonitor setups in the past. It's seriously not worth it.

Many older programs will only ever fullscreen on the primary monitor. Some will change the resolution of ALL monitors when doing so.
Getting actually decent sync on ANYTHING on a non-primary monitor on Windows can be like pulling teeth. Especially if they're not all the same exact model set to the same EXACT refresh rate.
Unless you have a separate dedicated card for secondary monitors, just having them enabled can cut into performance on the first (Dropping frames, lower framerate in general, desyncs), both by eating up fillrate and keeping up sync. Even in the best case scenario when they're completely unused for anything but the desktop.

Honestly, if you want to multitask it's most often better just to get a separate laptop. I'm sure an old x200 ($50-100) or some shit could probably handle RS at 20fps, good enough to AFK with.
Then you could even bring it to the shitter with you.

I like to argue with my friend that the Souls series is a JRPG by literal definition. Fun times.

Not that user btw.

but youre right.
People who pigeonhole JRPG to only be turn based fantasy game from japan are bakas.

>runescape is a solo game with chat,
>literal hours upon hours of group content

Your argument is that it isn't an MMO because it's not what most people think of as an MMO. That's idiotic. Most people think of platformers as relying heavily on jumping. Is Spyro not a platformers because it relies more on gliding and charging? Most people think of competitive shooters and being based on modern age humans or in a scifi setting with plenty of violence. Is Splatoon not a competitive shooters because it takes the genre in a different direction?

MMO's existed before WoW, and even before Runescape. Just because WoW homogenized the genre doesn't make gggames that ate more unique a different genre of game.

So uh, do you guys think the raffle is until oct 2 or ends on oct 2 or whatever, cuz if i have a chance for a godsword im saving all my tickets

is there somewhere i can find some runescape porn

He's only sort of right.
Souls is a western styled eastern made rpg because it features things like character creation, nebulous backrounds, etc. more d&d-esque.
The witcher 3 is an eastern styled western made rpg because the story is a series of setpieces and you play the role of gerald and have basically no player agency.
Both of those are a bit of a stretch but they kind of get the point across.

When someone says an MMO, people have certain expectations.
Runescape goes counter to these expectations.
The argument here is essentially the same one about the definition of a sandwich, which is whether or not the technical should be used over the vernacular when defining things.

Also, the group content in runescape (bar newer group content i.e. the newer group bosses) isn't group content on the level of what is expected from other mmos.
You don't actually have to socially interact with people when doing stuff like stealing creation, or pest control, they're just there, they happen to just be doing the same thing you are and possibly on another team.

>boss needs more dps than one player can output
>group content!111!!!

desu, i'd like to see an anti-dps boss where you have to maintain a range of damage and each turn you go over or under it gets buffed or healed.

Everyone would hate that, no matter the game. By everyone I mean dps babies.

>boss has shoehorned instakill mechanic that requires another player
oh wait that's every group boss
shit game

>im cool because i prefer solo content
user maybe people like scaping with others.

exactly.
the bossing triangle needs to change.
But god forbid jagex do anything on their own without checking in with a thousand polls to make sure the babies don't reee

>I don't understand good design
its ok user not everyone can be smart

I just want more skilling content.
Anything.

Every new boss and slayer monster that jagex adds makes skills even more useless, boring, and forgetable comparitavely.
Remember when they said they would add a skilling boss?
Remember?
I remember.

>Remember when they said they would add a skilling boss?
isn't that what hostillius is gonna be?

A lot of games could use that idea, but I guess this one the most.

what kind of retarded shit is a skilling boss?
>Requires 99 mining for phase 2, 99 rc for phase 3 and 120 invention for p4

No thanks

HAHAHA

HOLY FUCK

BASED TIMBO

Osborne NO
