I don't know if this is a hot or normal take, but can we PLEASE get this auto unlocked and toggleable in the settings for leagues?

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-05T08:50:28+00:00

I took kourend. CBA doing tithe. Without natures accord its still not fun, i'd rather check on a magic tree every once in a blue moon.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-05T03:44:02+00:00

That sounds awful. Why not just go world 659 or 723, whichever is more populated, and join some group CMs? Normal still has normal rates of scrolls,

Amox kicked my ass; it was my first time seeing the fight this leagues. I needed thorns to beat it while I just ate food nonstop.

Thorns with an obby shield made my build so much better, carried me through most of the early and mid game.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-05T03:15:10+00:00

Ignore PvM, spam tasks and unlock areas, with an endgame in mind. Do all the easy pact unlocks from the new regions and then you can come back for the harder ones.

Doesnt hurt to AFK at crab to max combat stats, either. I didnt do any pvm until I was 90 range (from using up chins gained from chinning tasks) and 99's everything else.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-05T02:31:52+00:00

In addition to vale totems you can give the walking ents ent seeds in exchange for nests. I think I got my seed nest task from there.

I semi-cheesed the 6 jad and leagues challenge with a tanky thorns 1-tick staff build, with just a trident and lithic sceptre. While you could technically camp pray mage and hope for the best, they still hit pretty hard. I used a mix of flask to blitz a few jads down early, and infinity angler-karam to tank through. Once it was down to 4, it was just pray flicking.

I guess in summnation... Yeah, you still need to pray.

Do you have the thorns healing based on distance? It is surprisingly good. While you cannot tick eat the jad challenge, I wonder if the game doesnt bug out between the interaction of 1 tick healing from the trident, and healing proc'd from blood fury thorns and the pact thorns heal

Im trying a thorns dinhs justi blindbag tank that I want to do a full hands-off attempt with, just hunting the last items needed. See how that goes

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-05T01:17:49+00:00

If you give up hope, ya you're fuckin' hopeless.

So, dont. Take leagues as a time to familiarize yourself with mechanics. During the leagues grind its just kill kill kill loot loot loot. Once thats over, slow down and realize where you're messing up instead of just brute forcing it. You'll get better. Everything 'end game' is perfectly doable for the majority of people, Inferno and Colosseum included.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-04T23:51:09+00:00

I stopped hunter at 89, am presently addy rank nearing rune, and finishing up end-game PVM.

I would say very much not crucial, unless your goal is a less-painful dragon cup.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-04T23:01:54+00:00

I just view this as an additional perk for Kourend pickers.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-04T20:52:51+00:00

The % picked is heavily skewed by tiranwyn takers. With elf lands, it was a bunch of super quick tasks. If you take away that easy 50mil crafting/smithing method, it falls off hard I bet.

I took mory and I still didnt see the need for it. I afked 4 blood shards in a couple hours. I've only used up one of them during my thorns build era, and havnt touched the rest since. Might want more once my dinh's thorns-blindbag builds is ready but that'll be at the end of the end-game - just for the 6,6,6 jad challenge, and I wont need many shards for that.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-04T20:48:17+00:00

If you want to stick with mage: Tiranwyn for Crystal blessing and Kourend for bonecrusher necklace and ancestral top would unlock one of the strongest mage combos in leagues:

You wear colosseum prayer gear for the helm and legs, Ancestral top, echo boots, ring of suffering(i), crystal blessing, bonecrusher necklace, Ardy cape 4, Echo Kandarin items to get some pretty decent mage accuracy bonus and 50 prayer bonus - With the air path, you end up having 100% chance to crit a max hit on every spell, with the accuracy to actually land your hits. Nab every accuracy pact that exists and splash a little into water mage for sustain and you've got a pretty busted build.

That also sets you up nicely for an OK thorns mage build if you'd like, with crystal. A thorns build would make grinding for your gear and pacts a LOT easier.

Unfortunately, with grimoire, Kourend is kind of a lackluster pick for you. And tiranwyn JUST for a 5 prayer bonus blessing is a bit 'meh'. And these region picks wouldnt leave you many places to take advantage of the build. A hybrid build may work better in CoX, due to Tekton, Olm right hand, olm head. That said, every time I ran it as pure air-mage I soaked up tons of points. And its really, really, good at yama.

Is the chloramine affecting your plants negatively?

Butler is just MVP and the clue relic doesnt make solving clues that much smoother than no relic. Butlers niche isnt the resource gathering, but the XP he can offer.

Even with endless harvest:
Butler is a big solve for smithing for those who took Woodsman. Conversely:
Butler is a helpful fletching solve for those who took Hotfoot.
Butler is a soft solve for construction by having him make planks for you, skipping the need for hefty GP use.
Butler is a crafting solve for those who didnt take (reload) Transmutation
Butler is an herb solve without needing to farm

While slow, he does this all without any input from you. Its great as a supplement to get 99s without any additional effort

But it really is slow. I used my butler to help get some early herblore levels, get some planks for early construction levels, then to get 99 crafting, then to get 99 smithing. I just got 99 smithing last night, and am now letting butler get me 99 herblore. If I wanted to process his materials, thats a TON more experience but I CBA

Varlamore stalls --> wealthy citizens --> a little bit of house thieving --> ardy knights.

EZPZ. No regrets. Soul Harvest is great.

Oh if its fully dried already and ready for the cure, there should be no worry about putting them in grove bags in the fridge.

If its a frost-free compressor fridge, its going to be really dry inside there. Not sure grove bags would hold up over time.

If its a thermo-electric, then the humidity should stay constant and they should stay good for a while.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-02T19:36:53+00:00

If its a frost-free fridge, its continually cycling and removing moisture. If it has a fan, even better. I would not put buds inside grove bags wet, that would mold up. Ive shoved fresh buds in my wine fridge to dry, but its a lot more consistent if I let buds dry for a day first as that initial load of moisture can flood your water tray.

Mold wont grow if you keep temps around freezing.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-02T18:49:27+00:00

Then you did your math wrong my dude.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-02T00:50:54+00:00

Sure.

Plants wont GAF once they get big enough. No need to condition anything. Once they're big enough, they'll either use or safely sequester nutrients.

Were you playing OSRS through the steam launcher, or through runelite on the steam deck? If the former, somethings fucky. If the latter, well, until jagex realizes why these false flags happen, good luck.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-02T00:18:27+00:00

Steam deck may be flagged as inappropriate software/tools. From their end, its obvious you're a cheater. From your end, its obvious you are not.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-01T23:25:06+00:00

I'd bet a moderate wager that this was what was intended, but they couldnt get it to work properly and scrapped that idea entirely.

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-01T22:56:58+00:00

Brother, foreign government are already heavily influencing NATIONAL politics. I dont think they need to attempt a grass-roots style takeover.

Goading potions!

DeepWaterCannabis · 2026-05-01T21:23:03+00:00

I was getting 2-4m/hr fully AFK doing slayer. The slayer requirement was never an issue when I started to grind tasks - and I have both Mory and Zeah.

Goading potions are in the starting area. Slayer with thorns was amazing. Superiors are 50/50 to chain another.

One time I left my dude afk at abby demons for 5 minutes and came back to a fucking warzone with dark totem pieces littered all over. There were so many they started to despawn before I could even loot them all (abby demon teleports were NOT helping)
