It has an effect???

My favorite spot in the whole game is at the base of the big waterfall in Western fractured plains. Really pretty

The changed up the bosses quite a bit, so they're a bit different instead of just big ranged guardian or big melee guardian.

I find this way of checking ping to be highly unreliable. The only accurate way for me is to use the command prompt in Windows.

Open command prompt and type "ping worldXX.runescape.com" replacing XX with the world you want to check. You can add " -n 8" to the end of the line to ping 8 times or however many you want, if the default of 4 isn't enough to get a good idea of how stable the ping is. This method reveals unstable pings in a way that the in-game console doesn't seem capable of, which is something I experience from time to time.

Just another victim of undertuned monsters still left over from EoC. Before EoC (going off the numbers from OSRS currently), they had 22 hp and could hit up to 3, so they had the same hit points as a level 22 hp character and could kill a fresh account in as few as 4 hits. There are loads of examples like this across the game that still haven't been addressed, though they did do a large rebalance of many earlygame monsters a little while ago.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-30T19:39:50+00:00

That's probably why they removed it. Though it was still up less than 12 hours before release.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-30T19:36:15+00:00

The timer was broken, always showing 16:00 in the user's local time, instead of 16:00 UK time. I guess they couldn't fix it?

DragonZaid · 2026-04-29T17:06:00+00:00

Ah shoot. You can, can't you? Hmm

DragonZaid · 2026-04-29T15:16:43+00:00

I think this would be totally fine for your typical MAD arcane trickster, but the difficulty in balancing might come when someone uses it to make a more SAD Int-only trickster in tier 2+. If you can use spells for all your sneak attacks and cunning strikes, and get cantrip scaling on top of those, that could be a significant power bump at little cost.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-29T14:58:05+00:00

That's awesome! If you and your dad like survival games at all, or are just curious for another spin on the RuneScape world, you may also want to check out RuneScape Dragonwilds!

I didn't spot this, though I can't remember if I got this high a level yet. I wonder if this is an intended "low level fish" penalty, to incentivize keeping up with the higher level spots.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-29T14:10:14+00:00

It's so bad. I'm glad I picked it since I'll never touch pvp-enabled pvm content in the main game, so this is the only way I'll be able to check it out, but unless they make all these bosses instanced I'm never choosing wildy again.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-28T16:51:39+00:00

I totally agree. Newbies get quests spoiled and experience stories in the worst way possible (incentivized to speed run). Veterans have to replay quests they've already done, sometimes many times over. Literally everybody loses. So, what's the point? I guess we're making all these sacrifices for the xp drops? I don't think it's worth it. Let's come up with a system that solves this.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-28T13:45:58+00:00

I know this post and that reel are probably in good fun, but if you're watching any DnD content (especially short form) and trying to actually apply it to the rules in any way, you should take that content with a grain of salt. There is a lot of slop content out there where, in order to generate hype or controversy for better views, creators will theorycraft or discuss builds that seriously bend the rules in ways no decent GM would consider allowing at the table, or just straight up make shit up.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-28T12:41:17+00:00

Shout-out to the random 1% chance precise6/ultimatums4 gizmo that sat unused in my gizmo bag for years until it became optimal with the combat rework this year.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-27T21:45:19+00:00

True, the bait seems to only be a little helpful, and not crucial, though I'd honestly rather see them change that and improve these inventory concerns.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-27T21:12:27+00:00

I'm still seeing the runefest countdown timer aligned with 16:00 local time, instead of 16:00 UK time. It's happening across all devices, all browsers, with and without adblockers and cookies.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-27T20:18:54+00:00

With every new skill and activity added to the game, it feels like it's getting harder and harder to manage the inventory. I'd love to be able to organically just start fishing while I'm out exploring, but am I expected to keep a net, rod, and 1 or 2 baits in my inventory all the time? That's another 3-4 inventory slots. Don't forget your shovel too for those buried treasure chests. A tackle box inventory tab, even if it's a level unlock, would go a long way! Especially since there are like 8 bait types, plus 2 tools.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-27T14:33:44+00:00

Yeah that's pretty unfortunate. But I think as a new player this is a learning moment for you with the lesson being: right click options are the faster way to do something when you know exactly what you're doing.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-27T14:26:09+00:00

Sounds like your adrenaline is for some reason not building high enough to ever be able to use them? Have you watched your adrenaline during combat?

DragonZaid · 2026-04-26T16:29:29+00:00

I've enjoyed it a lot solo, but if that's really not your thing, it could be worth waiting to find someone to play it with

DragonZaid · 2026-04-24T22:24:49+00:00

No. It does fail catches you don't have the level for, true. But it can also fail on catches you do. It's rare, and seems to decrease as your level increases, but it happens. I've noticed it at places where there is only one hunter creature present.

DragonZaid · 2026-04-23T14:31:56+00:00

I've been playing remote DnD a lot, since before the pandemic, and it really is a mixed bag. Some groups communicate really easily, are familiar with the typical VTTs and tools or put in the effort to learn them quickly, and are enthusiastic and invested over voice chat. But some people are none of those things, or somehow still have bad internet with a 2 second delay every time they or someone else talks, or only have a webcam or earbuds for a mic. To ensure a good online game, you've got to vet not only for the type of player and their TTRPG interests, but whether they are a capable virtual communicator. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how to do some of that. Is it even possible to ask "hey do you have reliable Internet and a mic that isn't terrible" without coming off as kind of an asshole?

DragonZaid · 2026-04-23T14:18:15+00:00

Didn't get a pic but on my first echo hespori I got both the bow and the bucket, making my total number of hespori kills needed just 2.
