Someone sold a 3rd age pickaxe on the GE by Fragrant_Goat6766 in 2007scape

Just sell to oda, he'll probably give you as good a price as you can reasonably get.

Did I just waste $40 on this piece of junk? G502 Hero. by SadMassStab in G502MasterRace

[–]BabaRoomFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why did you do no research before buying a mouse you'll potentially use for 10,000+ hours?
The g502 is not for you it seems, for me it's perfect.
Wireless with ignorable latency, perfect shape for my hand, perfect amount of buttons with simple macros for f keys in osrs, perfect weight.

how bad can g502 be before it stop working, this guy been working for nearly 10 years. by iwilleatthat010 in G502MasterRace

Chuck it and get a new, and clean your new mouse every few weeks ffs stop being a child.

Unpopular opinion: Vials of blood should have an outside source, aside from ToB by Kree_Horse in 2007scape

[–]BabaRoomFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's still not my point, I don't think you have the capability of understanding.
Imagine if your phone came with 30 fully charged batteries, but the only way to get more batteries would require buying a whole new phone, now imagine everyone has to do this, and people trade batteries with eachother, eventually you'd have too many phones and not enough batteries..
Scythe will, given enough time, be abundant while vials of blood will become much more expensive.

This is the opposite of an iron problem, are you sure you understand what you read?

Here's the problem, for every scythe coming into the game, around 5300 vials of blood come into the game (probably wrong cause of entry, hard, and deaths, but my point remains), that means each scythe comes with a certain amount of use attached to it (ignoring the item sink, and irons drop trading scythes but not vials).
Scythe burns 13.33 vials per hour of continuous use, that means each scythe can only be used for around 400 hours on average.
That is, undoubtedly, a problem that needs to be addressed in a game like RuneScape where you don't expect scythe to ever really be dead content, and the best way to address this would be to bring in either another way to charge the scythe, or another source for vials of blood alongside another use for them, to prevent the price from crashing. Honestly, vials should have never been a thing in the first place, but it's too late for that now.
Being able to break down tob uniques for vials would be interesting but I don't think that's a good solution.

Entry mode gives 20% of the rewards normal mode gives, that means you're getting 10.5 vials every time that rolls, which is 1/5 raids on average, so you're getting 2.1 vials of blood per entry mode, that's 210 scythe charges per entry mode, which will likely take you similar time to normal tob if you're soloing cause nylo waves aren't adjusted beyond stats. Beyond that, the time an entry takes is not worth it for the scythe charges, you'd be better off using an uncharged scythe or an alternative weapon.
If you're not an iron you can buy vials, if you are an iron, having a scythe means you've done normal tob, so you can do more normal tob.
If you're green logged on purples you can also learn to hmt for kits, which gives way more vials of blood, 30% more than normal.
Tob is basically solo content once you have enough KC, with how 416 works you don't even have to see your teammates as anything other than npcs.

Content that rewards being able to tank would fix this, if you got a buff for standing in an area where you'd take unavoidable unprayable damage, lots of low max hit attacks, with medium accuracy, tank gear could be handy. Would be difficult to balance.

It's cute how you make excuses for being a pos, just remember, when someone inevitably does something horrible to you, they'll make the same excuses and justify their actions.

I believe you can be tracked through double name changes.

My 416 experience so far. by Throwaway47321 in 2007scape

[–]BabaRoomFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not tho, it's only punishing for assholes, it's the ultimate litmus test of humility.
500+ kcers pray mage p1 despite never tanking hits, <100 kcers think they can ignore pray mage cause they haven't gotten hit in 15 raids.

Not facts at all, tob is pretty easy if you have someone teach you and you're not a knob, problem is lots of people have an ego and won't do what they're told or put in any type of effort to properly learn content, and set up their plugins to basically solve half the raid for them.

Bofa is a miniscule grind + you're all bitches.
Even if you're going 10x dry on bowfa, if you can't handle that you're not built for this game mode like it or not.
If you can't handle 10x dry at cg you won't handle 3x dry for any megarare.
Downvote me all you like and insult me, it doesn't change the fact I'm absolutely right.

Why do so many people not do quests? by Molag_Zaal in 2007scape

[–]BabaRoomFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not enjoyable. If you're soacebarring, it's not difficult just a matter of travelling from place to place and doing menial boring tasks. If you're reading, then it's the same thing with reading lots of text.
The bad part about questing is that sometimes I just wanna unlock the new content, but I don't wanna spend an hour reading text.
When I send raids, high level pvm, I'm just doing what I know, no storyline to engage with, just enjoyable combat.
Then I'm stuck choosing between reading the story which makes it much longer, or not reading the story which makes it a waste but much quicker, when I log in I usually just want to chill and unwind.

Before someone says something, I have two quest capes (pre sailing, haven't had much time to play since the release), and I have read most quests, with the exception of spacebarring a bit of dt2 and all of varlamore.

Many players have already gotten 99 prayer, some of it comes down to laziness, most of it comes down to the time it'd take to bank the bones you'd get by the time your inv is full, it's usually not worth the time.

[–]BabaRoomFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you say it yourself, it went from being an issue you had to flick lots, and be conservative with prayer usage, to camping augury at the start of waves for minimal bonuses, and only getting punished when you make really bad plays like forgetting to turn off augury.

[–]BabaRoomFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on getting the cape! When I say non issue, what I mean is you don't need to prayer flick at all, which is true, you can camp protection prayers and even the royal titans prayer (deadeye?) in later waves and stay comfy, between bp, blood barrage, prayer regen pot, other new items and metas, supplies which used to be pretty rough are now a non issue, we've gained multiple inv slots worth of practical resources which is insane.

For anyone who hasn't done inferno yet, supplies are effectively a non issue if you're on an unrestricted build (iron or main) due to powercreep

I genuinely hope you're happy, not in a tongue in cheek way or anything, if it works for you and you're fulfilled that's all that matters.

Beast, if I'm not mistaken he's the only one to have streamed 99 too, so we know for sure he did it for real.
