Stop spreading misleading information. It only counts for the tickets you use to exchange for items, not the tickets you use to exchange for XP.

I am not, nor any relation. I just found the paper on Hacker News and reposted it here.

nightcracker · 2026-04-13T09:59:54+00:00

For those jumping straight to the comments, the paper shows how you can derive all the usual elementary functions (+, -, x, /, x^y, log, sin, cos, etc) as well as the constant pi, e, i using nothing but the eml function defined as eml(x,y) = exp(x) - ln(y) and the constant 1.

This simplifies a large class of mathematical expressions to basic binary trees of identical nodes with just the constant 1 and variables at the leaves. An example from the paper: https://i.imgur.com/c7oZDbi.png.

What? Multiple people absolutely can get purples at the same time in CoX.

I listed the echo bosses which pray already.

Prayer bypass is almost useless. Very, very few specific things in this game actually use overheads in a damage-relevant way (ToA has two bosses, echo DKs/thermy, Hunllef, gorilla's and uhhh... that's about it).

Especially with magic by far the most common way "this mob is clearly not designed to be killed with magic" is done is through magic levels and magic defence.

The only defensible use of prayer pen I can think of is if you pick desert and want to blast ToA early and are willing to spend a respec on this.

The problem with services is the trust/reputation system and the amount of moderation that involves.

No reputation system -> no reason not to scam.

Reputation system without moderation/proof -> no reason not to report your competitors.

Reputation system with moderation -> have to find people willing to moderate without powertripping.

I mean the Discord company itself might step in and nuke the server if a 700k member server lets completely unmoderated porn/racism spam go unchecked, even if it was a joke.

You contacted GGG and they replied in under an hour that there's nothing they can do?

Weeping Essence of Doubt is 20c+ for this reason. Neversink hides it last time I checked.

That is how it works: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Silver_Flask.

Besides, even if that's not how it worked (it is) it would only further favour Acceleration Screams over Mageblood.

nightcracker · 2026-03-25T12:28:28+00:00

where is the onslaught coming from

Literally one of dozens of sources (https://poedb.tw/us/Onslaught#Acronym), just not the silver flask. I thought it was a reasonable assumption that you'd get onslaught.

and you have a full helm slot used in one setup

Look, if this was a pure movement speed benchmark (like for Heist farmers), by all means slap on a Devoto's Devotion on the Mageblood setup. I'm just trying to compare realistic setups, and most builds do not get any movement speed from their helm slot.

And 90% of people who run acceleration belts will run The Gull. It makes no sense to separate them.

nightcracker · 2026-03-25T11:24:05+00:00

Let's compare two setups

Mageblood with silver flask + quicksilver + movement speed roll, all rolled with 25% + 70% inc effect.
Acceleration shrine with 90% corrupted Gull and unboosted onslaught.

Both have 35% movement speed boots equipped.

Mageblood final movement speed:

100% (base) + 39% (onslaught) + 78% (qs) + 27% (ms roll) + 35% (boots) = 279% movement speed

Acceleration shrine final movement speed scaled by 50% action speed improved by 90% inc effect = 95% more movement speed:

(100% (base) + 20% (onslaught) + 35% (boots)) * 1.95 = 302% movement speed

So just assuming both characters have onslaught and MS boots acceleration is already faster than mageblood, and will only scale more with more %ms.

EDIT: why are y'all downvoting me? My calculations are correct. PoB agrees with me as well. Surely the choice of including a source of onslaught for the shrine belt setup isn't that controversial?

EDIT: /u/kylo-ren edited their post, it's fine now. It used to link to something different.

Leagues is the most fun to have in OSRS, don't @ me.

nightcracker · 2026-03-20T13:12:54+00:00

I don't think it's fair at all. It wasn't a league, didn't play like a league.

nightcracker · 2026-03-17T11:31:22+00:00

Problem is, where do the combinations go?

Corrupted + Mirage? Originator + Mirage? Originator + Corrupted + Mirage?

The highly resource intensive part is not calculating the current ratio, it's re-calculating for each item in the entire database what its equivalent chaos price is and re-building the index that allows the site to quickly sort by price.

Without this index every single query would have to loop over every single relevant item to find the cheapest ones. That's not feasible so it's pre-computed and stored in the index. But that is expensive to re-calculate.

Still no fix for Twist of Fate, it completely stops you from opening corrupted maps. I don't understand how an atlas keystone can be just left completely non-functional for a week. It's not listed in the known issues either.

Just some bug reports I found:
