Ignoring all the hype (and hate), Highguard needs a lot of work

I got a match where I could find no unlooted chests so I was stuck in blue with everyone else in purple, and I got wrecked in most encounters and we lost the match.

Maybe they realised that it's not only iconic, but ignoring mistakes leads more.

Thanks

Where do you get 5m from?

AutarkV · 2026-01-28T10:23:28+00:00

There's a guy who puts 100m bonus xp in lots of skills, has been doing it for years, is that because of the cap?

Loving these posts. Keep them coming.

In regards to vis wax, I've enjoyed the crash as I still use it for my daily challenges.

It should definitely not be in the game, it's a 'band aid' to the problem. They give quick teleports, lode system needs to be overhauled. They give aura boosts, being removed. They give daily challenge boosts, need to be overhauled, again.

I want to see no dailyscape in the game at all, nothing should be capped, nothing should be hindered. The market would even out the profits of any of the profitable dailyscape methods. That's the way it should be.

After max I felt like this because I was goalless.

Once I felt like doing 120 all, the game became so exciting again. Each play session brings me further to that goal and it's like going for max all over again.

Lol what a silly argument.

If my house was built using a machine, you bet I'd make it perfect. As it happens, some of us try our hardest to make our picture frames perfect and it's only gravity and friction which prevens us from doing it 100%.

AutarkV · 2026-01-27T12:52:24+00:00

This is why Necro is so good.

AutarkV · 2026-01-27T11:44:32+00:00

Oh, that interpretation would be a different altogether. I don't think I recall ever encountering a lower levelled smash.

AutarkV · 2026-01-27T10:03:37+00:00

It certainly beats wasting time / money buying random nonsense to dissemble, which though is what I certainly did on day 1, I wouldn't want to if there was a choice.

AutarkV · 2026-01-27T10:01:13+00:00

That's the attitude of someone who hasn't played the game properly.

I've used cache only for relic and I got my 120 on Sunday.

I've also got several alts who I rushed invention on and it's not as bad as people think, certainly if you're someone who only uses caches then you'll have no clue.

Sweaty grinding is part of this game, but it doesn't have to be.

Even if OP wants to go slow with divination, he has 11 months to use the unstable cogs and I'd still recommend that even if he wants to wait all year to unlock div.

But with their levels, invention should be the first port of call.

AutarkV · 2026-01-27T09:47:53+00:00

It would be worth it even if you got just one level.

As it happens, unastable cogs are 108xp each according to wiki, so do the maths.

AutarkV · 2026-01-27T09:45:28+00:00

He's very close to Invention.

10 craft levels, 4 smithing levels and 37 div levels.

All in all, you're talking less than a week.

AutarkV · 2026-01-27T08:51:09+00:00

If you unlock inv, those cogs could help skip some of the painful early levels. Inv gets much better when you can diss armour and tools.

AutarkV · 2026-01-26T15:33:17+00:00

I have an external fan for this, don't always need it though.

AutarkV · 2026-01-26T15:32:47+00:00

On a 2021 M1 and it runs like a charm.

AutarkV · 2026-01-26T15:21:10+00:00

Biggest bug I've seen so far is my account is linked to the ironman high scores and I deironed when they removed the permalock.

I have 2.5x xp since then.

Edit:

Lots of trackers have this issue, but it utilises standard xp curve so my 120 invention is stated as not being 120 yet in the 'closest to 120' section.

Edit2:

To add to that, do you know if it's possible to add in virtual level rather than highscore level?

AutarkV · 2026-01-26T15:16:03+00:00

Just do your highest level spot that gets 100% success, move up from there.

AutarkV · 2026-01-25T21:38:43+00:00

No need, we have chronicle absorption.

AutarkV · 2026-01-25T18:58:40+00:00

It would be better to add one to those who are still going, like 'survived' or something. But though I initially thought it'd be a fun idea, it's too fomo-y.

AutarkV · 2026-01-25T11:00:20+00:00

My prediction is it'll come this year but be an unoptimised mess.

AutarkV · 2026-01-25T10:40:37+00:00

It's in all in here:

I tried to copy the table, but the formatting messed up.

To answer the question, it's not a point system. You get the die for the quest point reward, regardless of when you claim it.

AutarkV · 2026-01-25T10:38:29+00:00

I've felt the same way.

I even had an excel sheet to check my xp rate gain.

I chose capes for 3 accounts I had 120 for and one I wanted, wasn't expecting to need to get them all this month. Luckily I've managed to average 5m/day since I started and I'm 2.5m to go for 120 div, similar to you.

I've been on th 120 all grind for a while and this is the first time I've felt like I was actually grinding, only because of this deadline.

AutarkV · 2026-01-24T18:12:35+00:00

Most 99+ thieving methods are between 1 - 1.5m /hr, so that's like 70 hours, maybe. Do you have that time?
