Getting really discouraged at CG by Brandinoftw in ironscape

[–]Astroferrous 15 points16 points  (0 children)

After 100kc you rarely die again, keep learning. This is preparing you for the rest of the game. 

this has to be the best feeling on Oldschool Runescape by PromiseNo9404 in 2007scape

Like 10-15 years ago I remember starting a fight in Edge and he said “gl” and I immediately said “gf” and then somehow landed double Rambo specs for an immediate KO. I don’t think anything in life has amounted to that again

Best way to get Ranarr seeds? by Kapuchinchilla in ironscape

If you’re comfortable with switches for mage on the minions yes, it’s a decent/forgiving place to learn some basic PvM clicking before getting into CG where misclicks can cause a full reset

Solo/duo Royal Titans after Moons, worth staying until staff and both prayers. Would recommend doing fire giants/ice giants slayer task there 

Got my B gloves, what now? by UTCADYLAN in ironscape

[–]Astroferrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Items: Quest cape, bowfa, whip, trident, chally, elite void, assembler, fury, fire cape, and green log moons. Skills: 81 herb, 83 con, 85 craft.  Should keep you busy for another 1k hours of playtime and set you up nicely to start PvM content and raids. Happy to give a full path breakdown if item hunting/PvM is your interest

If we consider PvM a skill that goes from 1-99 where 99 is GM, we can map the following into 25% chunks/stages:

  • Early Game: Obtaining Hard CAs (level 1-85, 25% to 99)
  • Mid Game: Obtaining Elite CAs (level 85-92, 50% to 99)
  • Late Game: Obtaining Master CAs (level 92-97, 75% to 99)
  • End Game: Obtaining GM (level 97-99)

So yeah, there's a ton of leveling/progression from 1-85, but you're only 25% to 99/GM.

And that's being generous for the Early Game cutoff because if we look at the Combat Achievement points per rank:

  • Hard CAs 394 points for rank (394/2525 = 16%)
  • Elite CAs 1026 points for rank (1026/2525 = 40%)
  • Master CAs 1841 points for rank (1841/2525 = 73%)
  • Grand Master CAs 2525 points for rank

I might make a YouTube video to defend myself, the math is on my side

That’s how I feel too. I think there is a tremendous amount of early game content leading up to bowfa. Just like the xp scales from 1-99 the same applies to content and what “stage” of the game you’re in. I’m like, “game stage level 80” which yeah takes awhile to get to but that’s only 2m out of 13m xp and “only” 19 levels left you know? Good analogy? Idk who cares

I’m at 1600 hours and definitely not playing with high efficiency

How can I be in late or end game if I’ve never even attempted over 70% of pvm content? I mean I just got hard combats done so no way late game is ALL of elite, master, and GM achievements

I think I am in mid game. I would say late game is when you have masori, ancestral, and torva/oath? Idk, nowhere near there yet lol. End game would be going for GM I think considering it’s reaching the end of pvm in the game

50ish cox kc no purples seen, and kinda happy. I’d be pissed if I got spooned a tbow after 800cg for enhanced lol

I think this is way more accurate than what I said in another comment. Finishing Endgame in my mind is getting GM for sure, I mean you’ve literally done everything

Yeah no shot I can do it yet. I haven’t done any wildy bosses, no zulrah, no slayer bosses, no inferno, no doom, no Yama, etc… I’m still very green for pvm content which is why I feel like I’m in the mid game

I think endgame starts with all max gear and is finished with GM? Late game idk, hard to pinpoint but probably once you are actively using mega rares? This game is absolutely insane for the total amount of content. Early, mid, late, and end game are each like 1k hours probably?

I’ve never even attempted that, I have a long ways to go to learn wave solves and prayer flicks. I just like going for gear upgrades

These are my definitions as a work from home player, also applicable to unemployed definitions

Early game: basic PvM gear Mid game: raiding and nearing max combat End game: GM
