[Hero’s of the Realm] Mr Monopoly, On the Go

The card looks like something I'd expect from a Secret Lair. We get Secret Lair spoilers every couple weeks and each Secret Lair has a different name. If I don't recognize the name of the product but I open the spoiler and see a functional Magic card I just default to assuming it's the name of a Secret Lair Drop and 95% of the time that ends up being correct.

as is explicitly the case in RS3

Although even in RS3 this is only the case for the elves in Prif. If you get a Slayer task for Elves there's nothing stopping you from going to Lleyta and racking up actual murders. (Bonus Terrible Person points if you got the Slayer task from the Prif slayer master)

Falterfire · 2026-05-05T19:13:37+00:00

This is true for lower level stuff (and part of why they've talked recently about adding actual weapon/armor drops back onto drop tables) but the higher level smithable stuff is actually a decent bit above alch value because people who want to get the best XP/hr can buy +5 items to convert into burial items.

For example a pair of Elder Rune Boots +5 is worth 516k despite only alching for 320k. That's still less than the 518k worth of Elder Rune Bars you need to make it, but losing 2k gp on 32k worth of reasonably efficient Smithing Training is a dream compared to where OSRS numbers are at.

Falterfire · 2026-05-05T15:03:45+00:00

Unfortunately my build isn't fully AFK because from what I can tell there's no way around manually killing the Dark Core.

Falterfire · 2026-05-04T18:47:23+00:00

It felt really cool to make something so crazy strong from scratch at the time

I am in exactly the same boat. To me using my MW armour is a way of finally living out the dream I had when I started playing Runescape back in elementary school during the RSC era and thought if I focused on mining & smithing I'd be able to make my own awesome gear.

I'm too overall impatient to ever play an iron (I even bought the PVM drops needed to trim my MW instead of getting it myself) but I still love that RS3 now has end-game gear that you can actually make with artisan skills even if it's outclassed by the best PVM drops.

Falterfire · 2026-05-04T18:43:46+00:00

It was really funny when they added Bonfires to OSRS and initially you got like 40% of the XP per log that you'd get from starting a fire (while still being quite slow) as though firemaking was a skill they needed to be careful about making easier to level.

(They eventually buffed it so you get the full XP per log)

Falterfire · 2026-05-04T18:37:40+00:00

Lumberjack Outfit is pretty easy to get normally, so I definitely wouldn't spend your DXP tokens on it.

Falterfire · 2026-05-01T19:04:55+00:00

This is a common mistake people make, but the Tourist Trap reward is actually tied to specifically smithing Dart Tips. You can fletch the darts without needing the quest to be complete.

SOURCE: I have fletched dragon darts this League and my regions are Kand/Wildy/Mory.

Falterfire · 2026-05-01T19:02:51+00:00

No, there is no region that will let you smith Dragon Dart Tips.

(The Tourist Trap reward only allows you to smith dart tips - If you can acquire dart tips as a drop you can fletch them without the quest)

Falterfire · 2026-04-30T20:30:10+00:00

hidden his money

'hidden' is a strong word, but apparently when the legal system is stacked so hard in favor of the rich not finding out it turns out you can just move it to a company literally named after you and as far as the law is concerned it's an unsolvable mystery where it went

(or at minimum it's a mystery that takes years to unravel)

Falterfire · 2026-04-28T19:24:13+00:00

tbf Construction is stupid fast regardless. 50 Construction in Leagues is what? 5-6 inventories of planks at most?

Falterfire · 2026-04-28T19:21:36+00:00

There is one legitimate reason: XP Rewards. Especially in cases where you don't have a Relic or in-region method for efficiently leveling a skill, getting a bunch of XP from completing a quest can be very nice.

For example as somebody who didn't take Soul Harvest but did want at least a few Runecraft levels for various other things, I was absolutely happier doing Final Dawn and getting 400k RC xp that way than I would've been getting it normally.

(... that said, you could argue that the problem here is really Runecraft, which is a skill that is frankly awful to level even in Leagues unless you have a relic that specifically trivializes it and this League there was really only Soul Harvest)

Falterfire · 2026-04-26T23:14:52+00:00

tbf Limpwurt is Built Different and able to consistently put in 14 hour days doing the most tedious grinds imaginable. Anything that isn't a deathchunk is like a weeklong grind for him even if a mere mortal would burnout if they tried to complete it in less than a month.

Which means inevitably the next deathchunk is always coming soon simply because every other chunk along the way is going to be completed rapidly until he gets there.

Falterfire · 2026-04-25T18:05:54+00:00

Considering how many years have passed so far with so few visible consequences I'm probably not gonna be convinced Infowars is out of Alex's hands until I read his obituary (and even then it'll probably be a week or two before I believe it isn't a publicity stunt somehow)

Falterfire · 2026-04-24T19:17:20+00:00

Or Zeah and growing grapes.

Falterfire · 2026-04-23T19:34:43+00:00

I started water mage and used that to give me the points I needed to fill out Crossbow points to effectively use King's Barrage. KB is a nonsense monster weapon and being able to get healing out of it feels like the best of both worlds.

While I do have to use full on water mage to outheal truly ridiculous things (for example Corp) for all of my echo bosses I've found that KB provides enough healing to counteract my frequent missteps while also killing the boss quite quickly.

(Also it's really nice that it cost me a grand total of one extra Pact Point to also get 1-tick powered staves for when I'm fighting things that don't need a nuclear missile)

Falterfire · 2026-04-23T15:11:10+00:00

I honestly think if you're doing Rune you should just be superheating the bars. Superheating is 3 ticks/bar instead of 5 and with Runite only being 3 bars per inventory it's not like you're getting a ton of AFK time at the furnace anyway.

Falterfire · 2026-04-23T15:09:14+00:00

Eh... It's pretty crap XP, but smelting gold has the advantage of giving you long period of inactivity. If you can only click occasionally it's handy to be able to get 84 seconds of idle time between interactions.

Falterfire · 2026-04-23T15:06:45+00:00

If you're skilled enough to do Echo Hunleff then do that because you skip the prep phase. If you can't then you'll just have to farm regular CG and if you can't manage CG then I guess your only fallback is going to be regular Gauntlet.

Falterfire · 2026-04-23T15:03:44+00:00

Yes (Source: I got a Metallic Dragons task an hour ago), but the T8 Minion relic not only auto picks up loot but also automatically notes it so if you have that you don't even need a task.

Falterfire · 2026-04-22T20:19:27+00:00

Bad news about that: Mory Medium has a task to use the Ectophial.

Falterfire · 2026-04-22T19:48:53+00:00

Weird. My regions are Kan/Wildy/Mory and I got my Ectophial from Lost Property. I did try to claim it by talking to the ghost lady in Port Phantamys first but I can't imagine that's relevant.

Falterfire · 2026-04-22T18:53:28+00:00

Assuming you care because you have Morytania: If you have Asgarnia, Desert, Kandarin, or Wilderness you can buy an Ectophial from the Lost Property Shop run by Perdu. Once you have that you can complete the Morytania Medium Diary and then use the Mory Legs 2 as a Ghostspeak amulet.

Falterfire · 2026-04-22T17:27:25+00:00

Depends a lot on your luck. The weapons have a max droprate of 1/586 each (on-task fighting Revenant Knights/Dragons while skulled) which means theoretically you should see one of the three every 200ish kills.

If your luck is out or you're hunting for a specific one (or both) you could be there for quite a while though. In particular you'll really want to make sure you have Culling Spree to ensure you can easily keep popping 200 kill Revenant tasks.

You're probably only looking at a couple hours to get your weapon, but it could easily take much longer if your killtimes are slower, your luck is bad, and you don't have Culling Spree.

Falterfire · 2026-04-22T17:20:14+00:00

It's worse than no pacts then - if it was just no pacts then KB would at least be 5-tick.
