dead thread:

nth for first!

Jet fuel cannot melt steel beams.

...

So what's your plan for double EXP? I'm going to finally get my Ranged up.

nothing cause I'm already maxed.

I bet you're a riot at parties.

your benis

trying to get all my skills except invention cause i'm a brainlet and don't understand how to train it to 90. i need
>woodcutting
>fletching
>fishing
>runecrafting
>hunter
>theiving
>crafting
>divination
>agility
>construction
i think i can get everything done except for divination, that one is kind of the stretch goal. also the obligatory farming trees, i'm almost at 99 farming.

Is there a better way to train RC than Runespan? I'm 100k from 93 and this is making me want to hurt myself

>2001+17
>not being an ironmeme

>120 combat
>shitty t70 gear becasue poor
Is it possible to do Araxxi? I got 5 of him from death and I'm considering it

is it possible? yes
will you manage to do it? probably not

well my best bet is probably my 90 magic, but all I got is regular Seasinger and arama staff with my best spelling being earth surge

sell/get rid of seasinger
buy subjugation
I don't know what a arama staff is

Armadyl Battlestaff

hesus fucking christ

>maging araxxor even though you've never killed him before
doesn't sound like a good idea senpai

crafting blood runes through the Abyss is pretty fast but not at all AFK

don't listen to this guy
sell all your stuff and buy a t90 weapon
if you can't afford t90 then buy t85

what xp/hr gamer?

>still have to finish the quest(s) to make blood runes
>then have to actually manually craft runes
I'd rather just sit here in Runespan and suffer

>sell my double exp matts for $$$
>buy tier 90 weapons to sell back to the goys

I haven't actually played Runescape in months so I don't know

>not doing quests

I though he had a at least decent weapon, that why I said to get subjugation
but he has arma battestaff so it's useless

Nox and Seismic are waaay out of my price range but the Cywir set, camel staff, or staff or darkness is in my price range

get cywir wand and orb

you shouldn't learn araxxor with magic
what's your ranged gear setup?

85 with a royal xbow and Armadyl set

yeah you're better with that desu

Really? why is maging it so hard?

it's not hard, melee arraxor bleeds you
it's just easier to learn with ranged, once you get the hang of it you can easily do all 3 styles

abyss RC with skull is much faster and you make money
it's not 100% afk like the other guy said but you don't really need to focus on it that hard, you can watch something else while doing it perfectly fine

Should I level mining now or wait until the rework happens?

current level?

99 smith, prayer, herblore, crafting and possibly the rest of my combat skills which are all in the mid 90s

I ain't going to sleep this weekend boys

Slayer. Ideally 115, but realistically I expect 112-113.

Have you reserved the spots?

Uh... 15?

Top kek

hmm okay you might wait then

>reserved the spots
FUCKING what

Oh boy. Do you think you're the only one wanting to do Slayer during the weekend?

Sure but was that a joke?

Well, yes. You can't reserve spots. That's why you're probably gonna give up after 2 or 3 tasks.

This is why I am just gonna level range and forget doing slayer right now.

What are you going to be killing?

Allright here's my ghetto poorfag setup. Forgot I didn't finish royal xbow and went with Nex bow anyway.

I'm gonna do it boys, and I'm gonna die. Wish me luck.

Lesser Demons. My ranged is only 63. I bought a full demonslayer set to stack with the double EXP and grabbed a fucking cannon. I am getting this shit way up there.

hurr hur forgot pic

won't even get to p2

Good Luck, you'll need it.

and somehow I'm expected to beat it 5 times for what amounts to pocket change in slayer XP

>cape
I have no idea what that cape is. Use Ava's Accumulator if you don't have the Alerter.
>amulet
Get Dragon Rider Amulet for free from the One of a Kind quest.
>ring
Get Asylum's Surgeon Ring for free from the Broken Home quest.
>arrow
Put them in a Quiver.

cape is starfury from an event. t70, not awful for a nondegradable

Any specific way I should be using these treasure hunter keys?

>nondegradable
Seriously, stop with this shit.
Not only ALL capes are nondegradable, the benefits degradable stuff give are way worth the minimal repair cost.

didn't last 3 minutes

it was obvious to me since he said "arma battlestaff" that it wasn't worth helping him

ayyy, first good drop

click on treasure hunter tab
freeze shitty cosmetic items
click on chest until winrar

>When you fucking despise the retarded energy drain on augmented weapons but the DPS increase is too good to pass up

What's up with rune essence shit not spawning? It feels like about 1/5 times I teleport in here the objects to mine never load and I have to teleport back out and try again.

Fun Fact: Energy Drain on t90 weapons is cheaper than Repair Costs if unaugmented.

The absolute most that an unaugmented Asc crossbow can cost per hour in repairs is 200k.
This augmented crossbow, meanwhile, is at about 280k per hour in charge costs. Now I will give you that I'm not 120 div so I don't have all the charge rate reductions and I still have to siphon this thing for exp so I can't let it hit the higher levels where it uses less charges, so you might be right about this then.

Roof:

Always hide or selectively hide?

Doesn't need to be 120 Invention for it.
An Ascenssion Crossbow need 1010000 gp to be repaired (at level 99 Smithing). Let's round that to 1m, so 200k per hour.
At 83+ Invention you unlock Charge Drain Reduction 6, at that point it's already cheaper.
That is also without the natural Charge Drain Reduction when the Crossbow gets higher than Item Level 5.

...

Well I have 88 invention and you can do the math on my crossbow up there. About 11,800 charges per hour, or 4 divine charges, or 280k.

>muh gp

Do you have all Reductions unlocked?

Yes.

QBD question for newfag
For someone without Super Antifires, is the antifire shield a 100% must or is pray magic/normal antifire sufficient?

On another note, can you make super antifires yourself with an assist?

Don't go without super antis.

You can't assist.

Interesting. The spreadsheed might be wrong somewhere, I'll take a look.
>is the antifire shield a 100% must or is pray magic/normal antifire sufficient?
Pray Magic + Normal Antifires are not enough.
You can bring a Shield as a switch and put it on during the fire attacks. But you'll still get hit a lot without it.
>can you make super antifires yourself with an assist?
Yes. Just make sure you have the Thieving level to get Feathers.

But I'm maxed and changed my prefer list to less popular ones as well as saving of plenty of points and vip tickets.

Correction. You indeed can't assist.

Is the bank broken? I was able to make presets after the initial teaser came out but can't now that the fix to it was done.

What's the optimal time before dxp weekend starts to plat trees+fruit trees?

I can do them normally, just tested it.

As before as you can, to make sure everything is fully grown right at the beginning. Make sure to pay for protection.
This way you can check the health as soon as DXP starts, giving you time to plant a new one and checking before it ends.

>TFW no bros to bro out with during DXP
>TFW no friends in-game at all
>TFW the game has no PvP left and the only thing left to do is solo bosses if you have done every quest
Why live?

>only thing left to do is solo bosses
AOD

to do clue scrolls

>AOD
I have no friends.
For what purpose? Money? I have all I could need. What's the point?

What's the point in nihilism? Fuck it all, absurdism master race. Just liek play gaem.

fun?

Clue scrolls aren't fun. At all.
It isn't nihilism, I just have nobody to do anything with and all the activities that enforce player interaction are fucking dead. I used to have a great time doing things like soul wars and castle wars. Even the fight pits. But now? Nobody does them.

>I have all I could need
Time to uninstall.

You know, it's just like schooling here. You're supposed to make friends as you level rather than once you've finished. Network beforehand so that you have contacts to actually contact.
If you're really desperate, go join some clan. It WILL take several tries to find one that actually does activities without drama, but it might give you what you want.

>and all the activities that enforce player interaction are fucking dead
Find a Raids team. A Vorago team. A ROTS team. AoD. Solak coming.

>all the activities that enforce player interaction are fucking dead.
AOD

I dont know the last time I felt this relieved holy fuck I did it.

>activities that enforce player interaction are fucking dead
I wish
Group bosses deleted when?

gz on worst kiln cape

Group bosses don't force player interaction, they encourage it. Nobody HAS to bring me. It isn't like the PvP minigames where you could join a team and make friends because you happen to be on the same side. If I go hang out in AoD and ask to join people will just tell me they are full or don't need me.

What if I am too low level/poor for those activities?

Then you wouldn't have said >Money? I have all I could need.

Melee are my worst cb stats, range/mage will be easier hopefully. I wanted to get the hard one out the way.

Different guy. I am someone new to the conversation.

Talk to people while skilling. Do GWD1/2 duos. Join a clan.
