WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB, LIFE IS MEANINGLESS MORTY

I just started GWD2 and can only do 4-5 Vindicta kills per trip (with a full yak) and I'm averaging 3+ minutes per kill

I'm so slow with my shield swapping that I end up missing damage on an entire Vindicta attack cycle

Also, sorry for the blog post, just felt like venting about my shittiness

one day you will make it

when I learned vindicta I would just switch ranged prayer when she used the range attack
that made me improve on the whole rest of the fight, and after that was when I went to shield switching

does anyone still fight the kalphite king?

yes I still see drygore broadcasts some times

For t90 defenders, mostly.

there's masses every now and then

>defender
People use those? I have never seen the t80 or t90 a single time and have only seen the t70 once. Everything after Dragon is practically a myth.

It's useful at Telos

Because people don't actively use them, it's for switches.

mfw i post the hunter suit banner image saying they look like power rangers

Man, just getting into this again and it sure is different.
The tutorial section got a bit convoluted after Ashdale, and I'm not sure why they picked Taverly/Burthorpe to be the new tutorial hotspot. The new interface is pretty weird though, still getting used to that.
But hey, dumping all these keys I got and selling shit I can't use got me a cool 2m already.

That's where the idea came from. Thanks user.

I see them quite often at the max guild. Like never anywhere else.

>The new interface is pretty weird though, still getting used to that.
you can customize it, even to the point of making it look like the old one by checking the "legacy interface" box in the settings menu.

Cool, I'll see if I can work better with the legacy stuff.
Still fucking around in F2P though but maybe members one day.

>Still fucking around in F2P though but maybe members one day.
psst, make and sell headless arrows on the ge, it's about 400k+ gp/hr.

Cool, thanks m8. I've been making some garbage money off logs and shafts, but I'll give that a go.

Can you redeem a bond to make someone else's account a member? The latter of which is an ironman?

right click the bond > use on the other account

Jesus FUCKING christ the final boss of Sliske's endgame makes me want to kill myself.
The bit where you fight Greg, Linza, and Nomad all at once.
I run out of supplies long before I even get the 2nd boss down.
Tried both melee and magic
All melee stats are 90, magic 90
Prayer is 92
How is this feasibly even possible?

Oh. It's possible to have problems with that?
Just deeps em dead. Nomad first, then Greg, then Linza.
Kill greg's follower fuckers before they reach him. And move out of the way for any other spec. That's all you have to do.

I don't think I used any food.

How the fuck can you not use any food?
Up until now I've just filled my inventory with food and tanked bosses, I've never once done PVM outside of when it's required for quests.

what gear are you using?
just kill nomad first, then greg, then linza
you should be fine if you have t80 weapons

Mage: Full Anima Seren + Armadyl battlestaff
Melee: Bandos w/ Zaros Anime body and Sara godsword

nigga I beat them with fucking armadyl armour and rcb, wasn't even maxed at the time.

By soul splitting out a ton of damage, and moving away from heavy damage specs.
Why are you using sub-80 weapons with level 90 skills? Non-degradeable shit is a bad meme.

your weapons are fucking you hard

...

Upgrade your weapons.
What prayers are you using? What boosting potions are you using?
What's your ability rotation like?Are you using Thresholds? Ultimates? Do you have any aura that could help you?
What about rest of gear? Amulet, ring, pocket slot, cape. Everything is important.

I'm using Soul Split, no boost potions because i'm using saradomin brews + restore flasks
Dragon rider amulet
No rings pockets or auras.

>I'm using Soul Split
And leeches, I assume?
>no boost potions because i'm using saradomin brews + restore flasks
Why does this matter? Brew > Boost Potion, until you Brew again.
>No rings pockets or auras.
Why?

Are you fucking retarded?

you're special.

indeed, how is it even possible to be this shit?

>no boost potions because i'm using saradomin brews + restore flasks
Oh dear. That's so dumb. You're heavily cutting into your damage output.
This will obviously take a million years longer and eat through supplies hard.

You want to mostly use regular food and only brew if you need to heal with both on the same tick with food->brew.
But even using brewres alone you should still just repot.
It is NEVER worth using brews in ANY situation where you would not use boosting potions.

>no boost potions because i'm using saradomin brews + restore flasks

are you one of those "muh non degradables" retards user?

But I survive longer that way

are you the idiot that said yesterday (or the day before) that you had drygores but only used them on bosses?
GUESS WHAT?
IT'S TIME TO TAKE THEM OUT OF YOUR FUCKING BANK

I remember back when chaotic weapons had just come out. Those non-degradeable fags where absolutely everywhere refusing to use anything higher than a whip, rune cbow, or staff of light. Because oh my gosh it costs like 100k.

And do far less damage. So much that you eat through ALL your supplies before actually killing anything.
Sure, you want to survive. But you want to strike some balance between survival and effective damage output.

There's no point in keeping Soul Split on if you don't boost your stats up. Might as well use Deflects.

then dont use soul split if you refuse to do the damage to make it useful

>What's your ability rotation like?Are you using Thresholds? Ultimates?
The fact that you conveniently skipped through this makes me worry you're using Legacy Combat.

Thanks guys I changed up my shit, got Vampyrism aura, got rid of the brews for boosters, went dual dygores, and used the tortoise instead of the terrorbird and got em easily.

Good.
Except for the aura, but I'll let it pass this one time.

>got Vampyrism aura

What's wrong with the aura?
I just thought it made sense because it stacks with soul split.

caps out at 50hp a hit
anons are pretty salty about it and while i get that its not a great aura i still use it for passive healing in some places

50 hp cap per heal.

It practically useless because of it's heal cap of 50hp.

yeah its not great i only use it if i wanna super afk at places like corrupteds and not use dual weild swaps for more aoes

chaos reaper
go with inv full of empty pots
leave with inv full of sharks

I use stews because then it can’t unequip your shit

yeah i took to using nothing but sunspear so its only one item
with lelgacy on it actually out dps's various randoms who come along with rcb and royal dhide

What kind of stews? Summer pies are probably cheaper.

presumeably just the same stews chaos ele drops
i have a stash of currys in the bank but i never use them

I think it’s regular stews, yeah
the kind that heals 1k
I have a bunch in my bank, I might hae used it as a cooking training method at some point, who knows

random assortment of cheap food for wilderness or other pursuits

well you have more than me

thats mostly from ~years worth of phoenix lair daily
collected by my hungry little legendary pet

page 9
heres some fatties

what are the most outdated 3d character models still in the game?

So what things should I be buying from vendors each day? I've already figured out Feathers.

i think theres a wiki article for all the profitable shops
i know runes are good though
maybe still yak hides
not battlestaves anymore though

jungle horrors

Not your character. No one would date it for even a max stack.

I'm a big guy

How easy is it to multi-client in this game and is there any punishment for doing so as long as I'm not botting?

not anymore
multilogging is fine

ayy lmao

>237 dry on orb doing 999 claims

How does pricing at the GE even work when it's static? I've never seen a game do that.

supply and demand
just need to adjust toward the higher offers made by impatient players

Average of transactions over the last day, there's also some minimum number of transactions it requires to update so can be average of last few weeks/months for low volume items. Capped at changing a maximum of 5% each update period.

>over the last day
Close but not quite. It's since the last ge update, which is random and averages once a day. Which makes it even more inaccurate due to heavily inconsistent timing for samples.

I wish they'd ditch that system and just show current bid/ask, with an inaccuracy warning on items detected to be low volume.

shit like this makes me not want to try and git gud at telos

Im not that poor, but im not rich enough to throw money at it just yet

but i'm getting bored of other bosses and am mostly grinding out 115 slayer so i can at least entertain myself with magister for a bit

How does /rsg/ make their money?

i was just gearing up for an hour in the money pit
if i make enough i think ill finally buy some virtus robes

I still made 1.5b+ in those kills, got 2 staves, and if you streak the money's a lot more consistent.

Gonna do WGS for the first time gamers.

good luke user

Assuming 10 minute kills including bank time due to notable enrage, that's 37.5m/h off non-orb drops.

QBD

Pennance is superior, regens prayer points every time you get hit

araxxor/nex/passive income from invention machines

sometimes other bosses and some slayer tasks, but the cost of other tasks plus being too lazy to pick up drops most of the time balances that out.

Telos = AoD > Vindicta > Arhats > solo Nex > a million lesser options.
My favorite is about 5m/h completely AFK, and about 1.4m/h total XP. But it can get crowded so it's kind of gay most of the time.

Abyssa demons?

aight my doodz i got virtus top+bottom
now do i go back to div grinding or do i get my dung on for that golden accumulator?

You don't actually need gold accumulator. It's nice to have but only really extra.
You also don't really need to div grind unless you're getting divine charges as an ironfag.
Why not do something f** like boss?
Do you have any skills or tasks left for comp/trim?

not maxed;-
invention
runecrafting
herblore
agility
will max on dxp:-
thieving
fletching

having just spent my loot tab on virt pieces grinding div for the suit isnt so bad since i can sell off the energy when/if the price goes back up
as for dung its only some 50k tokens away so its a constant itch in my mind and im not sure if the event will give me enough through boxes

The guy in the Draynor sewer. To my knowledge, he has never received a graphical update.

So you're blowing time on div past 99 then. Why not go level what you have left?
And why did you buy virtus? Are you intending to mage something strong? That would be nice. It's just of useless for just div though.

50k tokens is less than an hour at any decent rate even solo. Just liek do iit.

>Just liek do iit.
exactly
>intending to mage something strong?
while i really should get around to learning nex/rax one of these days
the bonus defense will be handy in my spiritual mage dungeon when i have all five aggrod at once
>Why not go level what you have left?
the leftover skills are just the ones i like least
maybe not invention but i level that bit by bit every day

post doings.
>pic related.

Getting the untradeable master clue scroll emote items im still missing
