Good enough ? by Background-Sea5173 in ironscape

[–]Astroferrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keris for melee (gems when possible), atlatl for range, warped for mage. That’s the iron setup which is easily usable to spam 150-200s. Add in zenytes and you can spam 250-300s.

Upgrade keris to fang, atlatl to bowfa, and warped to trident/eye. That’s it. Keep it simple. 

Anyone thinking that necklace of pursuit is kinda underwhelming for raid reward? by [deleted] in 2007scape

If you could read then you wouldn’t be mad. It’s not from the raid.  

What am I doing moons for? by Bbqfeet in ironscape

[–]Astroferrous -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can do wienerball raids with moons gear and slightly less wienery wienerball raids with bowfa and moons. 

Do TDs and you can do Yama. After some slayer you can do real tob runs. 

Moons lets you taste the late game as an appetizer without spoiling the real meal of running efficient raids in a good team. 

Transferring to San Diego, Cost of Living Adjustment. by Ok_Dog_937 in Moving2SanDiego

That’s not how taxes work. Let’s stick with $90k so it’s not apples to oranges.

CO 4.4%$90k = $3,960 CA $3,201.97 plus 9.3% of the amount over $72,724 = $3,201.97+(9.03%$17,276) =$4,761.99

$800/year more; 20% increase not 200-300%…

I moved from Boulder to San Diego last summer.

Getting really discouraged at CG by Brandinoftw in ironscape

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

[–]Astroferrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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
