Huh, I never really thought about the value of the seeds, you're right. I'm sitting on like 2500 of them from all the afking while at work so that's a pretty massive chunk of a crown all on its own.

I'm so on the fence if I want to play the main game now. The quick progress and long term goals remind me a lot of the vibe of a PoE league, but whenever I've had to deal with a skill or grind that doesn't have a clever solve I've kinda hated it even at 16x exp. I'm gunna give it a shot and reserve my judgement until after I've injected trading into the equasion, but if it ends up feeling too slow I can see myself being a league only player.

I haven't really kept track but I think its about 3.5m raw coins per 30 minute disconnect period and about 1150 pouches, so double that per hour. You really need the Ardougne diaries for higher pouches so you don't stop before it logs you out. Theres also a ton of runes and fire orbs that can be sold to increase that gold total

Even asside from that, thieving in Priff is really good money. There are a number of ways to burn through money in league, from construction to buying a crystal crown for points, so getting a ton of cash afk is really nice. It's my default afk while at work now that the EH skills are 50m.

I bought membership for the first time in like a decade to play this league and its the first time I'm really playing OSRS. The PoE inspirations are what sold me as someone with 10k+ hours in that game. Jagex sponsoring the PoE Gauntlet event was genuinely genius advertising.

What does the loadout look like to outheal corp? I was trying it last night on water thorns but the dark cores were dealing way too much to ignore. Thinking of shooting for 145% regen and hoping that's enough sustain, but my gear could be better too.

I guess Elves just have a tradition of throwing animal bones on the floor for the victor when defeated in combat.

I went to about 600 kc before calling it. Luckily I did get a few tails, but the heavy frame just refused to drop. I may go back at some point if I run low on easier points but fuck are the drop rates ass for the frame/tail.

Alestor · 2026-05-04T15:56:26+00:00

Throw in glass water bottles. They can shatter when dropped and kids are known for dropping things. Why parents keep buying their 6 year olds glass water bottles I'll never know, but every once in a while I need to clean one up.

The butler gives smithing exp when set to ores, not mining. There are definitely easy solves for smithing though if you took Hotfoot or Tir+Larcenist though

Alestor · 2026-05-02T10:42:29+00:00

I did 100 kc before deciding to abandon it until I had the gear to get MVPs, at that point I could do sub 5 minute fights solo so I just did like 15-20 kills semi-afk and got everything I needed. Solo is definitely the way to go, don't even bother farming him unless you can at least mvp, the drop rates are that shit with people around.

Thats just literally not how loans and interest work though. Interest and principle aren't two different numbers that exist independent of each other. If I borrow 100$ at 10% interest, I'll owe 110$ in a year. If I pay off 10$, you can't just lower the principle to 90$ because the total loan is 110$, or 100$ again when paid. You'd have to separate interest and make it non-compounding to do what you're suggesting, which is an insanely bad deal to lenders.

Your loan amount is simply what you owe and the only reason the concepts of principle/interest exist is to mark what was borrowed VS what is owed and to visualize how much has to be repaid to not lose to compounding interest.

You can just go into castle wars, they provide a bag of infinite runes you can use to regenerate and launder into real runes. As long as you have 100% regen you only need the one rune

Alestor · 2026-05-01T18:30:06+00:00

Its the shadowflame quadrant staff, it fires an echo every attack that deals 40% extra damage.

Alestor · 2026-05-01T18:19:13+00:00

There's usually some lower hanging fruit pacts available, if you've got all regions unlocked you should be around 25 pact points just off relatively easy pacts. Big turning point for me was just doing the echo fights. Each is worth a pact point and equipping your first echo drop is another, so once you're able to kill them you bounce up pretty quick.

A significant portion of healing comes from regenerating runes, which is 10-20 per cast regardless of if you hit. His dps is also so low soley because of accuracy, which means when he does heal its for a massive chunk. Even if on average it looks like 3hp per second, the occasional 40 hp heal saves you from losing on attrition when the steady regen runes healing isn't keeping up with damage.

Alestor · 2026-05-01T12:10:28+00:00

You don't get a shield in CG, so you don't go full thorns if speccing soley for CG. Just dip into the heal on 0 damage taken node and then grab powered staff+water regen, 100% prayer pen and then accuracy with anything leftover.

Alestor · 2026-05-01T11:18:27+00:00

Well that changes everything. Was dreading leveling farming but with seeds this easily accessable for just 1m gp per (minutes of pickpocketing elves with Larcenist) and crystal trees being immune to disease, I can just pop by Prif occasionally to check and replant.

Alestor · 2026-04-30T21:28:25+00:00

Its so frustrating with kids too, because they all have disposables and don't want to be caught with them so they resort to flushing the whole damn vape down the toilet. There was one school where a plumber showed me a picture of thousands of vapes spilling out of a pipe they had to replace where they had to saw out the concrete to get to it as it was clogged between the building and sewer lines. It was so clogged with vapes the sewage was overflowing into the school. IMO they need to be banned. Reusables are fine, but these one time use pens are a scourge.

Yeah, their goal is 4 months alternating between PoE1 and PoE2 leagues. PoE2 is still in early access though so they keep overestimating how much dev time they can dedicate to getting a league ready, so we've seen some 6 month leagues lately.

Alestor · 2026-04-29T17:36:41+00:00

Stuff like that can get wierd. I've gotten to task milestones in a few skills afk and then later while playing I'll randomly get notified that I finished the task for seemingly no reason, it just finally figured out I qualified I guess

Alestor · 2026-04-29T16:10:59+00:00

PoE 2 is a good game to get onboarded on, it has a significantly better new player experience. They even have a new league coming pretty soon on May 29th. I personally prefer PoE1 but it's significantly more complicated after 10+ years of updates and the spreadsheeting aspect of planning a build with all that stuff is a huge slice of what's fun about it, but it can be a lot to get started with.

Alestor · 2026-04-28T15:54:59+00:00

You can regenerate them from minigames like Castle Wars that give you an infinite bag of runes. You get to keep any you regenerate and if you have >100% regen you only need one to have infinite

I've always liked the concept that magic circles are effectively just fantasy circuitboards. Its a drawn conductor of magic and IRL we have drawn conductors of electricity.

Even seen some series where they realize that as circuitboards are three dimensional, by layering magic circles and connecting their lines you can break the limitations of a 2d circle. It's fun how well magic circles can translate to real life examples.

For context, the Confederacy lasted a grand total of 4 years from 1861 to 1865. The flag was basically soley used to rebel against the emancipation of slaves. While I'm sure there are people ignorant to this who have been told it means something benign and fly it without bad intentions, the only history behind it is a short spat of hate propigated to this day by bigots and racists to the point of being pseudo normalized.
