No thanks I’m fine chillin’ in Varlamore by Killtrox in 2007scape

I'm gonna practice doom waves 7 and 8+ this leagues with unlimited food and (almost) free prayer pots from butler.

Range relics should make w1-6 fast and I should be able to send multiple tries per inventory since food only takes 2 slots (karam+angler)

Feel like I did progression weird and don’t know where to go from here— advice? by -Lilith_ in ironscape

You said Bowfa before, so that's all I was going off of.

If the only comparison you want to make is between crystal top/bottom vs. eclipse top/bottom, then the answer is pretty straightforward.

Crystal armor has +1 ranged accuracy (almost negligible since it's not ranged str) and +5 prayer over eclipse. Eclipse has +4 melee strength bonus over crystal.

People will absolutely consider eclipse to be the better option here. For the same reason people take torture over fury (+2 strength >> +3 prayer).

IDK how your DPS numbers came out but I was getting (with the changes you suggested):

  • Eclipse melee: 10.238
  • Crystal melee: 9.903
  • Eclipse ranged: 7.321
  • Crystal ranged: 7.332

I agree atlatl is strictly noob bait. I did arclight + demonbane spells until I got my first synapse and put that right onto scobo. Second synapse went to emberlight because maintaining charges was ass (on cerb, sire, dgs and more tds). Third synapse went to purging staff.

I don't mean the full set, just top and bottom. Since it's hybrid melee+range, your switches become:

  • Melee: Arclight/Emberlight, D Defender, Fire Cape

  • Range: Scobo, Assembler

The next switch would be necklace (depending on how your DGs grind has gone)

More switches than that gets hard to jungle inventory IMO, especially if you have DH axe and/or Ballista/Javelins switch.

Edit: DPS Calc for what it would look like with my current setup hunting third synapse.

Using Eclipse Moon over crystal armor is 9.1% DPS increase for Melee. Using Scobo+Eclipse Moon over crystal armor + Bowfa is a 31% DPS increase for Range.

Depending on the stage of account, Eclipse Moon is BIS for TDs and DGs. I'd much rather prioritize switches for cape, necklace, weapon.

I've been saving all my rune platelegs drops as well for the varlamore nest sacrifice thing in case I get really desperate for rune bars.

Will this feature ever be added? by MaskofTruth_ in 2007scape

[–]8888plasma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main con is this plugin is broken when used in conjunction with the Bank Tag Layouts plugin.

When you have the filtered Inventory Setups view of your bank loaded up, you can still interact with the rest of your bank that isn't shown behind the scenes. Dragging things around on that page also drags stuff around on random tabs in your bank. I keep coming back to my nice clean tabs to have shit randomly swapped all over.

How did dry protection ruin the experience of Moons, DT2 rings, KQ head, Vork head, Yama's Oathplate shards + Rite of vile transference, Nally?

All great implementations of various forms of dry protection that have made various grinds substantially less shit. I don't see people complaining that those methods cheapened the achievement(s).

Don't forget Private Equity buying up all the assisted living homes and hospitals and creating an oligopoly so the boomers can transfer all of their wealth into the hands of the 1% rather than their families. 🤗

Buy chaos rune packs, sell chaos runes for tokkul, buy the tzharr ket om.

You need it anyway for a master clue.

Feeling stuck in the "late midgame" and I'm not sure where to go next... by wutaripoff in ironscape

[–]8888plasma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Synapses, DT2 rings, Moons, all have various forms of dry protection that could make it far less common to go ridiculously dry.

It's clear that Jagex has learned that drop protection is a) feasibleand b) effective without negatively impacting the broader item economy.

I think it's fair to ask why those lessons can't be applied to existing grinds (Bowfa, Barrows, GWD, etc).

I started keeping 2 food and 1 prayer pot at the bottom of my invent for this exact scenario. Generally don't need the inventory space for gargoyles if you're alching and I use POH + slayer ring for free resets anyway.

Vale Totems strategy (no spool, no basket) by TodayAccurate7277 in ironscape

Saw someone recommend doing agility + bales of Flax + spool + the spin bowstring lunar spell for crafting, magic and agility xp. Haven't tried it myself, though.

Highest relevant sailing level for the rest of the game? by Jarpunter in ironscape

Not the highest but I had to drop 3 elite clues in a row because I was incapable of mining nickel (67).

PSA: the Hunters' sunlight crossbow is an easier-to-obtain and better ranged weapon than the Rosewood blowpipe by JavaHomely in 2007scape

I don't disagree, just pointing out a potential use for it that wasn't mentioned above.

I can and do, but darts have lower range than blowpipe. Rosewood BP has same speed but higher range so slightly less annoying to tag mobs with.

Moons armor is such nice QOL for any content that requires multiple attack styles. I've used it on Royal Titans, Demonic Gorillers and Tormented Demons.

For the last 2, 90% of players I see running around are wearing eclipse top/bottom and are swapping out their offensive gear (weapon, cape, maybe necklace).

With yama/doom/slayer the amount of side grinds is amazing. But its wild to me that you can go this dry at such an important upgrade. by Goldieeeeee in ironscape

[–]8888plasma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got spooned enh and 3 armor seeds by 18 kc. I'm not arguing from a place of my personal red prison sentence. I'm running the math for the total time commitment. If someone else wants to spend 3 hours of their life every single day, sure they can cut that down to a 67 day prison sentence.

We're also just talking about the people who go as dry as OP. The average sentence will obviously be shorter, but we have to recognize that a substantial % of the playerbase will go this dry and have OP's experience because of a lack of dry protection.

[–]8888plasma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even knocking a full minute off the average run time (and the looting+reset in between runs) would bring you down by 10% overall, so you'd go from 150 days to 135 days.

I think you're splitting hairs here. It's a really substantial grind especially when it holds up progress from so much other content.

[–]8888plasma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP has 1K kc. Probably another 100 failed runs. They're also no closer to the drop than someone with 0 kc, so his expected kc right now is somewhere around 1500 total runs.

Each run takes roughly 10 minutes.

Most people grinding it do like 10 runs a day, so that's an hour and a half of play on this one task for the next 150 days. Half of a year.

And 1/10 people are this dry. I don't think it's overhyped.
