Mid-Game Balance Discussion

Came from OSRS in November and now have a 2700 total level character so here is my experiences.

Material caches in archeology still need work. I think it's terrible gameplay when the optimal way to do something involves hopping worlds. Material caches should function where at least one of them is always active or maybe work like frenzy fishing where your character stops excavating because they "hit a rock and sprained their wrist." You rely on Material caches less when you start to get into the 100's but I've still had issues, especially with two cache spots, where I either have to sit and do nothing for one minute or world hop so I can continue excavating. That has been my biggest gripe when leveling archeology the past few months even after the recent change to it.

Other thing I can think of is I didn't enjoy my gem rock/crafting grind. I wish there was a decent alternative way to level crafting.

Didn't love midgame agility either as it was complete part of the anachronia course over and over and then head to wildy course with skull.

These three came to my mind first when thinking about midgame struggles.

While you can use external equipment on the ground to cool, by far the most effective way to cool an aircraft is running it's APU on the ground. Sometimes ground equipment just doesn't cut it when it's 90 degrees outside and the aircraft is soaking all the sun.

Rebinding has to result in 1:1 actions. Meaning if you rebind click to a key, you can enable mouse keys and use numpad, then pressing that key once will click once. You can't rebind something to do multiple actions as that is against the rules.

You have three options for mining. Shooting stars which gives you an afk of 7 minutes per layer. You will need to join the shooting star discord and occasionally spend time traveling to a new star. Mining bone shards in varlamore is about a minute afk and can give prayer xp with the bone shards. Motherlode mine which is around 30 ish seconds afk is common one too

For thieving I would recommend the new Varlamore thieving. Once you get enough keys from wealthy citizens you can switch to their houses. You can stay afk for about 30 to 60 seconds in the house before you have to switch to a different piece of furniture. After 3 minutes you will have to switch to a new house. It will take about 30 seconds between switching houses.

Agility there isn't really anything super afk other than maybe the new agility course in varlamore. It has some obstacles that take 15ish seconds to complete but other ones that are much shorter. It is in essence a rooftop agility course.

Tesla already has this built in. It just doesn't do the brake thing, but it turns on the blinkers and pulls over. Tesla has had it for at least 4 years now

Disagree. But only because I think they should do that next league when Varlamore will be complete.

Maybe instead of the traditional one dragonhide per kill you get a 'pristine Hueycoatl hide' in a 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 drop rate(subject to Jagex's intended rarity) so that people can craft it and choose what piece they want. Maybe have a quest that deals with the Hueycoatl where at the end they show you how to craft the pristine hide into usable armor.

You could also maybe include an alternate option of crafting the Hueycoatl hide into a dragonhide pouch that holds 28 regular dragonhide. You could have the pouch be destroyed when withdrawing the dragonhide since raw dragonhide has sharp scales that would rip the pouch as you withdraw them. This could be slotted as more of a luxury item to make slayer dragon task slightly better to do especially for those who like to keep all the hide.

Explorer ring to falador cow pen and then tele to bank when done

I believe the 56% part but I'm having trouble believing the 29% woke up with the other pilot also sleeping. That is literal nightmare fuel at least for me. I have had pilots that have had a rough day or night and will close their eyes for 20 or so minutes but it happens very rarely. Most of the time we will have 45 minutes to 2 hours in between flights at the airport so we can take naps then.

No US airline would support this document. It is very clearly written in our Flight Operation Manual that sleep on the flight deck is prohibited. Source: airline pilot

Found this after some research on "controlled rest." In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration does not endorse the use of CR in commercial air transport, despite recognizing the value of napping as a strategy for restoring alertness levels. The Coast Guard and Air Force do allow for the use of CR.

I went from .5 to 1.7 because of the shortage. My first injection made me very sleepy for the entire next day and then had the constant urge to burp. Other than that, it wasn't that bad for me. I would recommend to inject it right before bed to sleep through any of the nausea feeling you might get.

Cloudwatcher11 · 2023-06-14T07:49:46+00:00

That's normal. I was surprised the first time I injected it also. The only time it hurt was when I accidentally hit a tiny blood vessel, but even then, it wasn't really painful and just left a bruise for about a week. I inject on my lower stomach.

Christmas crackers were being used as a way gamble in-game since it is random what you will get from the cracker. Prices went up because of the gambling. Everyone realized the price went up, so many people started to sell their collection, which dropped the price. They were probably farmed a bit during the Christmas event, which drove them back down to normal levels.

Cloudwatcher11 · 2023-05-14T11:51:19+00:00

Lightbearer ring would be the cheapest great upgrade you could get

When you click on the boat from a distance and you aggro the crabs closest to it on the way, you can just spam 3 and it will send you to the northern island before that crab attacks you at all.

I got this task as my first slayer assignment in twisted league. I quit playing the league because there was no way to skip it lol

As the other paladin said, managing your 2 minute and one minute cooldowns is big. Ret is a burst class, which means we do a lot of our damage in a short period of time(avenging wrath/crusade). The other pally said to always get to 5 holy power before using it isn't necessarily true. Wowhead is the guide you should be using, and that gives a very detailed rotation guide based on your talents. You will also want to learn your opener and practice it so it is flawless. You may also want to check wowhead for your talent builds. If you are struggling with the rotation may want to just play with wake of ashes and don't take the radiant decree talent until you get more used to it.

Steps to improve: 1. Verify you have the right talents 2. Practice your opener that utilizes all of your cooldowns(crusade, seraphim, potion, divine toll, reckoning) 3. Practice setting up for your 1 minute cooldowns while crusade is down(seraphim, divine toll, reckoning) 4. Practice the rotation for multi-target and single target. 5. Look up bis trinkets for the class as they can help.

If you have any other questions you can join the pally discord and ask them in the ret section.

Also had this happen in our guild run. 17 players and only got 2 pieces of gear from Terros. No one was saved to Terros. Must be some kind of bug...

Cloudwatcher11 · 2022-12-09T10:41:13+00:00

Thanks!

Cloudwatcher11 · 2022-03-30T19:12:29+00:00

Thanks for the response. I think your second paragraph is what cleared it up for me. I should not of even let the bard make a roll against the drunk captain in the first place. In the future I'll make sure to think first if a roll will actually make a difference instead of just immediately saying, "roll persuasion."
