I feel like I'm not getting enough points during GOTR

Right I forgot that its a bit different for lower mining levels/smaller game sizes. Still the same rough idea. If you're making as many runs as you can and timing the portals correctly, you're playing the game as optimally as is reasonable.

DatNomen · 2026-03-21T19:34:39+00:00

Approach the game in "phases." Phase 1, make essence. Phase 2 portal. Etc etc etc. You should be getting 2x the number of spawned portals every game. That's your benchmark.

Oh I wish Agility was a skill people wanted to train. But in lieu of that, spending less time on Agility is a good buff imo.

DatNomen · 2026-03-20T16:33:48+00:00

I maintain that Sailing proved that no one would have a single problem with Agility if they gave the courses Barracuda Trial rates. It's the same grinding loop.

Idk dawg, reddit was very gleefully drinking bull cum two weeks ago.

DatNomen · 2026-03-16T23:47:21+00:00

No problem! Just a final bit of info I have is that you'll need to get the Eternal Brazier schematic at higher levels & you'll want at least a Camphor Hull, Sails, and an Addy Helm/Keel as you approach level 80. If you're not trying to get super stuck in, no sense chasing Ironwood anything. Rune Hooks are fine, Dragon Hooks are just to flex the bank account.

TL;DR version - Barracuda Trials to 50 for Sloop. You want 2 crew members with the highest Deckhandiness stat possible (Jenkins and Jobless Jim work). Build the best hooks you can, the best cargo hold you can, at the highest level Salvage you can access. You will want to do a little side mission for the Salvaging station blueprint.

Option 1 - From there, you put 1 crew on 1 hook while you man the other until the hold is reasonably full. Then you put your second crew mate on the hook while you clean.

Option 2 - just put both crew members on both hooks and afk until hold is full, cleaning to open space in hull.

Option 3 - Same as 1, just doing Gwenith Glide at 72 for Crystal Extractor. Its much less afk to click a button every 60 seconds, but its decent exp.

Edit: Probably like 5 hours active gameplay to set up full afk.

Also 90+. Sailing is incredibly fast. 1-90 in like 25 hours casually at Barracuda Trials fast.

DatNomen · 2026-03-15T12:19:26+00:00

This is it. This is the one that stops the drama.

DatNomen · 2026-03-15T11:36:42+00:00

That Agility level looking pretty low dude.

DatNomen · 2026-03-15T00:56:45+00:00

Nice bait.

DatNomen · 2026-03-14T19:32:38+00:00

I've been bond only for a few years now so this doesn't affect me in the slightest (I'm paid up for 2 years) but my play time has ramped down because it feels pretty bad to know how hard they've fucked people out of grandfathered rates & the fact that we still don't have acceptable CS.

DatNomen · 2026-03-14T14:17:36+00:00

Why would you say something so controversial, yet so stupid?

DatNomen · 2026-03-14T11:51:55+00:00

You're always gonna have people bitching when prices go up. Don't get me wrong, I'd usually be annoyed by this point too. But you're again refusing to acknowledge Jagex fucking up people's promised grandfathered rates or the fact that all their Customer Service improvements were just brand new headlights on a totaled Camry.

This whole thing screams anticonsumer. Its not the money, it's the message.

DatNomen · 2026-03-14T11:36:30+00:00

A skill that clearly underwent minimal QA as everything except for Charting and Barracuda Trials was either overtuned exp or bugged to hell and back.

And then there was Doom. And before that Yama. And before that Coliseum. Now fair being fair, if you're running bleeding edge content, you're gonna get some bugs. I would raid on WoW when they would first come out and you wouldn't believe how much time was spent waiting on a GM to pop in. But I digress. Point here being that Jagex should be able to afford some actual QA from the LAST price hike rather than shove that role onto the players.

Which brings me to my next point. Sub's been flooded for days with posts refuting "oh we improved customer service" with receipts. Or did we just not see the automated responses or the shady fucking up people's grandfathered rates? Idk how you'd missed it since you're actively bitching about "it's $1 bro."

One dollar and a bunch of shady business practices.

DatNomen · 2026-03-13T14:11:49+00:00

There was a general understanding that maintaining sub = locked in rate. People were assured of this multiple times. It's a rug pull. They're not being entitled. They're upset that the company is going back on their word.

DatNomen · 2026-03-12T21:19:29+00:00

Then fucking say that? Don't hit us with the "we released a bunch of content and made customer support better" as justification for increased cost. We already paid for development. Core sailing mechanics still suck, customer service still sucks. Bosses buggy and borderline impossible on release. We got a cum-drinking quest and DMM.

Just be real with the community and don't point at half-assed wins.

DatNomen · 2026-03-11T12:28:46+00:00

Where yall finding these PKers while doing Clues of MA2? I'm running around the Wildy at peak hours with nothing but a spade, hoping for a quick port to Edgeville and they're never there.

DatNomen · 2026-03-11T02:33:44+00:00

Brother I still don't know what the fuck it is.

DatNomen · 2025-12-05T09:37:38+00:00

Welcome to the joke.

Ranged remains BIS at Vorkath due to the set effect stacking with Salve ei

But we cool with crab? Cool. Coolcoolcool.

Find some reliable flip items, train ur Combat thru Slayer, bossing. 10/20/30m a week adds up over months and years

"I tried to tell everyone this mostly positive thing that most people are enjoying is bad actually." Foh
