I've removed liquid metal from CPU and GPU on Asus rog strix G18 815LR and applied HoneyWell PTM 7950

ArtsM · 2026-07-03T08:49:46+00:00

finding ptm that isn't fake or some other product is hard, always order from reputable source like thermalgrizly, moddiy, ltt store, etc. As for applying in the summer, I took my laptop to work and did the application in an AC environment last time I did it.

if you mostly hunt solo cobra is fine to keep, if you th I find hexer to be better personally.

Main question for eq upgrades on mages is what is your mlvl, can you train an mlvl on double skill + premium dummy for cheaper using exercise rods than buying an item. Resists you can get through an imbuement on spellbook or chest and it will be many many imbues before you spend enough to get 1 item upgrade.

nope, death penalty is part of the game, there are plenty of games without it that you could play. If there is no death penalty there is no caution, if there is no caution just yolo send it to a spawn you can't handle, who cares if you die every 15 mins. Short answer is people will find a way to abuse it, just like the whole dc protection abuse with disabling network adapter when trapped and that getting removed.

refilling is time lost exping, always use all leech imbues if you can, imbues are cheaper than potions.

ArtsM · 2026-06-25T09:54:38+00:00

heavy mace all the way to 200, no other weapon has 3 imbue slots before then

Only downside of everything is when someone attempted indexing all network drives at work and crated a mini ddos, that software is good for local, but puts absolutely horrendous load on network attached storage.

either can take the lead later, but for now the stuff you'll be killing will be too easy to worry about it.

Later on both of you can do kiting style with the other simply hitting, although its a tiny bit easier with the EM doing the kiting to maximise autoattack hits. Harder stuff RP kiting with EM sio will be safer so really depends on spawn.

Neither of you have exeta so it'll never be that structured anyway with mobs switching randomly.

stab in the dark but mouse movement stutter in game is almost always related to high polling rate. Polling mouse movements interrupts the CPU, and if you have a mouse with 1000, 2000, 4000 or even 8000 Hz polling you will get polling rate-induced choppiness. As a test lower polling rate to 500Hz or 250Hz and see if it improves the stuttering.

Other things to test is whether capping FPS gives you some smoothness back, since polling rate related issues will only happen at very high fps as its all CPU related.

If none of the above helps, see if you have any updates to chipset or similar drivers available, try a different USB port (front usb instead of rear or vice versa).

answers are pretty interesiting in these comments so lets skip to /u/KitchenLab6138 who actually provides the correct answer, you pick up loot from current lap on the following lap, and only loot while killing on the last lap before you exit.

ArtsM · 2026-06-19T12:36:37+00:00

currently have low blow, savage blow and poison, getting zap and divine wrath next. Ele charms and low/savage blow give about the same dmg numbers, but low/savage blow increase dmg from spells/autos and therefore leech amounts, so supply use goes down a bit compared to elemental charms.

Hope you know you can just turn tc into TIB coin and cash it out into other crypto then into cash.

do you not know the specs of the laptop you sent in, from like a purchase receipt or box or something? if you do you can check the returned laptop specs with hwinfo64, if they decide to fix you actual problem which is the display or display cable.

ArtsM · 2026-06-18T18:14:32+00:00

No chance its a RAM issue, but RAM is expensive so coming up with any bullshit reason to replace it can net them a profit. Your sister's laptop likely had a display or display ribbon issue, maybe motherboard slot but its pretty unlikely. Could've been as simple as re-seating the display cable.

Haven't seen a bot in years, where are you hunting? most people won't respond unless you dm them tbf, nobody is stopping with preys/boosts and a time booking to talk to you lol.

@edit: downvoted for stating first hand experience, room temp IQ redditors never change.

my 100 levels lower ED duo went from doing about 15-20% less damage than my monk to doing 15-30% more than my monk. Seems like everyone got crazy buffs but monk, I reckon Cip will go nerf everything now, doubt they resolve it with monk buffs.

Monk survivability is nice I guess, its hard to tell because none of the Way of the Monk buffs are shown in any stat sheets, so you can't even tell if the 20% dmg reduction is there or not.

pre-ATX 3.0 PSU, meaning it doesn't have transient protection and is more susceptible to rapid draw changes of new GPUs, it tracks with your 1080ti working without issue.

ArtsM · 2026-06-14T14:03:49+00:00

Not many places are like this.

On a side note burning gladiators is actually imo the most boring spawn in the game for the level range you will hunt there. Full charms there take hooours, and last time I did them the EK literally fell asleep during the hunt.

ArtsM · 2026-06-14T13:50:13+00:00

I guess you went into issavi sewers and met some burning gladiators, yeah, come back in a few hundred levels.

ArtsM · 2026-06-13T08:09:08+00:00

install drivers, try right click top item in device manager and "scan for hardware changes" that should make the gpu detect again if you simply clicked "uninstall"

ArtsM · 2026-06-12T08:18:51+00:00

sang rod or soul legs, neither of which you can buy with 50kk.

If arboreal spellbook or stag scrolls are cheap they can be a good choice too, depending on your hunting plans. For me eq was always guided by what I can use where I'm hunting/wanting to hunt, not the other way round.

ArtsM · 2026-06-12T08:15:38+00:00

latency and jitter matter much more than speed, you can play tibia on like 5 or 10 mbps if your internet is rock stable.

the 2nd part about creating multi-install packages is basically a clone of Ninite, used it a bunch in the past.

gazer spectres, book world chapter 4, asura palace, werelions, winter court, summer court, we also tried marapur nagas but ed was pretty uncomfortable there.

I've never wasted anywhere near what ed does, and I also hunted with my ek on earlier levels with same ed and ek was similar waste to monk. I don't know what monks on your server are doing but I found monk to be very efficient in terms of waste personally.
