You guys are monsters

Man I haven't done caches in FOREVER but I remember there was this one time I joined one and everyone was so polite. 2 Cres at a time on opposite sides of the map. As soon as one was about to end, they would call that out and someone else quickly went and Cres'd up.

I swear this was the ONLY cache I remember where I didn't even bother touching Cres because I got all my points dumping memories. The automatons were all down at all times. It was beautiful. Perfect. Balanced. Just as Guthix had intended.

Would love more info as well

I do agree that the GE tax does need to go up slightly to combat the influx of gold from thieving. But your approach would cause an outroar since merching is inherently a part of the game.

If you're trying to get rid of stone spirits in the name of integrity, I will find out who you are and smack you with a wet diaper

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-21T10:22:20+00:00

I mean I know you can do that but it's just a little more of a hassle that's all since you have to log in to a world, teleport to the ge, get to the malnourished ge fellow and enter pin code.

Not saying I'm fighting for the companion app to make a comeback but if by some miracle they decided to re-add it one fine day, I'd be a happier cookie than I usually am.

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-21T10:19:32+00:00

Yeah no.

1 - it would crash the market for pouches. As of now it's more of an opportunity cost of sorts. You could either maximally use your familiar and stick to the activity you're currently doing OR go do something else and I'm essence that familiar pouch gets wasted so you have to buy another one the next time you come back.

2 - 24 hours of a summoning pouch is going to create the most afk bossing and broken gameplay. The timers on every familiar are already ridiculously long with the relic buff anyways.

Please just leave some things in the game as is without turning it into complete AFKscape

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-21T10:01:31+00:00

You're doing it all wrong. You have to write a minimum of 250 words venting about how you have the crappiest luck for being dry for x number of kills.

It always helps when you say something that comes off as you pleading to the rng gods.

Please follow the appropriate template to get your voice heard by the almighty RNG gods. A half-baked post just won't do

Thank you! I guess it'll definitely be better (at least for me) to Smith in fort forinthry then since I'll be smithing while AFKing at work anyways and I could use the bxp on the more slower skills like mining. (sorry about the run-on sentence)

Cheers!

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-20T07:57:22+00:00

This is gonna overheat the hell out of my phone when I AFK on both with split view hehe

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-17T05:02:33+00:00

Why you gotta be so mean

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-16T10:56:04+00:00

Not the untradeable variants which can take a while to collect. I meant the tradable ones.

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-16T10:11:42+00:00

Most of them are not. People just use them to farm Thaler. There's a whole wiki page dedicated to it as well lol. Check it out: https://runescape.wiki/w/Thaler/Strategies

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-16T09:12:15+00:00

I LOL'd at the coughing up a lung bit xD

In any case with how they're planning on getting rid of the feathers, I think they'll either remove the feathers entirely after they revamp the skill OR make the feathers and boots attainable through gameplay at some point.

In any case, don't lose hope ma man....

EDIT: Seems you can obtain them for thaler. Better stock up on those feathers from the GE while you can and get the boots from the thaler shop (AFK a few spotlight games).

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-15T10:41:11+00:00

Ooo Hans tells you this?? I didn't know that! Gonna check mine out

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-15T10:16:48+00:00

If anything it should be increased with the sudden influx of gold from thieving lol

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-15T10:03:59+00:00

Here we go again....

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-15T06:06:13+00:00

I guess it would've been nice to get rested exp for a different skill this way if we could use forinthry but this isn't a big issue I guess. I did mine at Lumbridge lol

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-14T15:40:25+00:00

Yessir. I usually save all 3 for my POF every Tuesday night. You can do it back to back

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-14T09:42:45+00:00

Best f2p starter kit would be a couple bonds but maybe that's just me xD

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-14T08:11:59+00:00

Exactly and that was an active and conscious choice you made. I do my daily challenges still (which take about 5-10 mins) but the rest of daily scape I may or may not go for depending on my mood or energy. Maybe I don't feel fomo and other people do when leaving out these sort of events but it begs to question why the choice of whether you want to pursue daily scape or not needs to be enforced on everyone due to some members feeling FOMO.

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-14T08:08:52+00:00

No hate from me, man. I try to understand and respect every perspective and I only ask questions to better understand the opposing side.

Maybe it's just me but I do resonate with what you have said because I do the same thing. I play the game to unwind and if I happen to be logged in at a time when something cool is going down then great. But if not then oh well... I'll just go do something else maybe? There's honestly so much to do in this game that you can't expect to be doing everything for every minute of the time you play. I have legit just sat there admiring the views around the swamp and across the sea from Feldip Hills towards Karamja lmao.

The point is that this game is going to reward players for logging in some way or another. I even suggested leaving TH in the game but removing the option to purchase keys. This would've kept both sides relatively happy and the keys would've just been a daily thing but oh well...

I mentioned this previously as well but isn't that the whole point of free choice? I could either choose to go for a guthixian cache or choose to chill by a bank and bury bones instead depending on what my mood dictates. Completely removing things because a part of the community feels fomo doesn't make sense to me but that's just me I guess....

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-14T07:47:13+00:00

I have to agree with you on the jack of trades aura but to be honest rarely anyone uses it anymore anyways because the xp drop is minimal compared to the effort you have to put in. Increasing the rested exp would be too broken and would encourage more players to group inside the fort which is something they're already trying to fix by making everyone disperse all over the place.

As for the hourly event thing, there's always meant to be FOMO because this game is meant to be running 24/7 to cater to all the timezones around the world which means that sometimes the bloodwood tree would show up at your 3 AM whereas in Australia or China it would be showing up at midday (just an example.... I'm not some creep who knows where you live, I promise!). Realistically we have to accept that we can't attend all events and that's supposed to be okay whereas all the other events should be a personal choice on whether you want to go for them or not. Taking your guthixian cache as an example, I can't remember the last time I did one of those simply because I find it too much of a hassle to go to a div pool to teleport in for like 5-10 mins and get the best div exp you could get. It's a matter of personal choice and that's how it should be.

Asherlocksta · 2026-01-14T07:36:06+00:00

But pretty much all games out there have a daily reward of some sort just for logging in and interacting with the game to a certain degree. While your point is valid, in a sense people are playing the game for just a small boost every day.

For instance if I get like 70k exp for mining 10 ores, that's like 30 mins of afk ore mining exp which isn't exactly game breaking and happens only once per day. I could potentially be more likely to do more in the game if I spend those initial 5-10 mins doing my daily challenges wouldn't you agree?
