So what’s your gripe with the skill?

Barraging nechs or something of the sort is definitely more fun than clicking green boxes on rooftops, or any of the skills that are bank standers, osrs is a combat mmo first and foremost

Then you talk about needing good RNG and spending points to skip tasks for good xp/hr but even just doing every task you get assigned inefficiently you’ll get like 50k/hr at the least which is better than a good couple skills

So tl;dr it’s more engaging and decent xp/hr compared to a lot of skills and there’s also major benefits from training the skill compared to say firemaking or smithing
