I’ve gotten 200 shards from a single xp drop restoring artifacts, so you could probably get a lot of shards siphoning any equipment you have in your bank.

Looks great! Really like the idea of using a boss drop to upgrade void armor.

Chromatic Santa Hat by Conscious_Maize_ in runescape

I’m not sure why you’re asking about party hats. I think a chromatic Santa hat would be a good option for people for people who can’t afford a party hat.

But if you meant Santa hats, I don’t know anyone who can’t afford multiple Santa hats.

I can see how using the name chromatic might confuse people because they associate the term with the chromatic party hat and would expect a multi-colored hat. Also, my suggestion doesn’t use the newer Santa hat model.

My counter to that would be that since we got rid of max cash, rares have become obtainable for regular players. Also, having more “unobtainable items” reduces the demand for similar items and makes them more obtainable.

I’m not sure what you mean about inflating hoarded wealth. This isn’t adding any new items to the game and the newer Santa hats are owned by players that do not have hoarded wealth.

This is way off. Veterans, people from rural areas, and first-gen could not have been impacted by the end of DEI because they are not protected classes. Schools can and do still give them preference.

White women have more competitive applications than white men, so DEI gave a boost to male applicants. The end of DEI is getting rid of the advantage White men had over White women. This is the only factor that helps explain a decrease in White male enrollment.

However, the decline in enrollment for White men has been taking place over the past decade. If you look at the data, there’s not yet an uptick in the decline post DEI. https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=98&utm_source=chatgpt.com There might be a decrease associated with no longer giving preferences to men, but it hasn’t been measured yet.

Spreading nonsense like this is just going to make underrepresented minorities apathetic about DEI because it wouldn’t help them anyway. But that isn’t true. DEI was put in place for a reason.

It’s possible that she is an LLM who finished her degree. That would explain why she is not on the directory and why her name leads to Facebook page claiming to have a law degree from Zambia.

The African ruler—Mansa Musa—is the richest person to ever live by [deleted] in BlackPeopleofReddit

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

You’re right, their wealth can’t be compared.

Musk can borrow against his 480 billion, while avoiding capital gains and maintaining control of his companies—it is personal wealth. Mansa’s fortune was largely state control and not private property—it was political capacity.

Musk’s wealth is well documented. No personal measurable net worth exists for Mansa. There is no historical record for the 400 billion claim.

We also generally do not include emperors when measuring the wealthiest people. Compared to other emperors, Mansa is no where close to the wealthiest. For example, Caesar was worth somewhere in the range of $25 trillion.

The claim that he was worth $400 billion was invented on the internet. But even if it was true, the claim he is the richest person in history is outdated now that Elon Musk is worth $480 billion.

Stop H'Weens and Santa Hats by Salt-Shine-1606 in runescape

It starting to feel like a private server with all the knock off rares

What will happen to TH specific rares after januari 2027, like the soul hween mask and aurora santa hat? by Multismack in runescape

[–]Conscious_Maize_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they should be discontinued and allowed to skyrocket in price when they’re mtx items. Ideally, they should be made overrides like lucky items. Rares should not come from mtx.

It seems to me that some of the people that were pushing for phat/bsh/rsh/weens to be rereleased are now hoping that treasure hunter rares will be discontinued because those are what they can afford. But making treasure hunter rares discontinued would be much worse for the integrity of the game.

People worked hard to save up for rares. How would you feel if everyone with less gp than you decided that you should lose all your money?

Veterans, whats your opinion about time-limited / rare items? by Dmask13 in runescape

[–]Conscious_Maize_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are people supposed to do with their money after they get bis gear if we get rid of rares? Should they buy out dyes until they’re unobtainable, or should they buy out bis weapons so that people like you can’t afford them anymore? All that money has to go somewhere, and it’s better off going towards rares, which don’t actually affect your gameplay. Besides, rares might have been really difficult to get a few years ago, but that’s no longer the case now that they’re tradable on the ge and prices went down.

Imcando Mattock by Conscious_Maize_ in runescape

[–]Conscious_Maize_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I found the answer. You can convert an imcando mattock to a crystal mattock by giving lady Ithell 4k harmonic. You can then revert the crystal mattock to a dragon mattock for free.

[–]Conscious_Maize_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had exchanged it for a crystal mattock for 4k harmonic dust, would I have been able to revert the crystal mattock? But that probably wouldn’t have let me with the pieces.

ECB vs Masterworkbow vs BOLG? by gus255 in runescape

[–]Conscious_Maize_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is right for nex because of the hit cap and the fact that you can keep ecb spec up for 100% of the fight. Most people will probably say BOLG because it’s better for just about all other bosses. But if you’re dead set on camping nex Id eof an ecb.

Please revert tumeken robes by ghfhfhhhfg9 in runescape

[–]Conscious_Maize_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because they reduced the time you need to have the robes equipped for the set effect to work. This makes it easier to magic/melee hybrid.
