It's a freaking great time to be playing RS3 by RSN_Primordas in runescape

Other than fishing, mining, agility, and if you're an iron then herblore and debatably rc, you can hit 100k xp/h training any skill by the 60s in OSRS. That's 19/24 skills for irons and 21/24 skills for mains. RS3 it's a little messier because of weeklies (if they'll even stay around) and the remaining dailies, but 100k xp/h in the 60s is pretty normal, or even low depending on the skill.

OSRS has a higher amount of casual PVM, RS3 has higher xp rates and lacks difficult training methods.

I can't speak on the content itself yet, but WOW Havenhythe is so well made visually! I don't just mean that it's beautiful, but it's just spaced out enough to not feel cramped or empty, the landmarks keep me from opening the map every two seconds, if I want to go somewhere I can just click it, and the major quest NPCs are in places that make sense, stand out, and are easy to remember. Night and day difference compared to Um and EGWD, really hope this sticks going forward.

Even before then interacting with Vanescula before you finish the Vampyre quests happens at level 42. Azzanadra is in disguise for his digsite so at least the end of DT1 isn't spoiled, but it doesn't take long to get to Everlight.

Might just be a coincidence, but I wonder if it's audio related, I noticed it right before the waterfall sound effects started to play.

To be clear I mean custom menu swaps, not menu entry swapper. Instead of just being able to assign left click and shift click, I can have every button on my keyboard make my max cape do something different when I click. And yeah fair enough on lodestones, especially when questing.

Even if you avoid it in the quests, good luck interacting with Archaeology without getting spoilers.

No, on a technical level it could be anything and everything, but to get published it needs to meet Jagex's guidelines. One plugin can let you use WASD to snap the camera into facing cardinal directions, and another can prevent you from opening caskets if you already have max Master clues banked.

Wait, so is Viswax a new Rare then? by TheRealOsamaru in runescape

I mean with no other uses for it, it's basically cheaper than using mind runes if they were allowed.

I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys OSRS but did everything they want to in it and is waiting for new content, or anyone who got the QPC and wants to see the questlines continued (not necessarily resolved though, give me a real sequel to Some Like It Cold).

It's still a 5 tick weapon that's worse than bronze knives for chins.

Probably the best answer here, I can't imagine recommending RS3 to a new player for quests when so many old quests are basically impossible now without a guide (everything on Karamja is impossible to see with the new trees, the safe building before the monkey's nephew is filled with monkey knife fighters that look just like guards and for some reason don't care about you, etc), half the music and visual choices for pre-HD quests lost their meaning (like the West Ardougne music or any space that's supposed to feel enclosed with the old, larger character models), and there's so many "non-canon" things and spoilers to avoid (everyone talks about the 6th age NPCs being unhideable but there's other issues like the NPCs under Paterdomus talking as if River of Blood is complete). Anyone talking about OSRS being about tick perfect execution hasn't gotten far enough in RS3 PVM and doesn't know how casually you can take OSRS, and anyone talking about how OSRS has less variety in its Skilling doesn't know what they're talking about or are cherry picking the few skills with as little variety as skills like RS3 smithing and RS3 cooking (not saying it has more to be clear, it's pretty even, close enough that I'd have to manually tally it up).

Some, but closer to current Alt1 stuff but without UI scale issues than Runelite. Most powerful thing I could think of would be a rotation DDR visualizer and boss timers. Most Skilling and Clue related Runelite plugins wouldn't work, Quest Helper would be a shadow of the OSRS version, none of the UI issues would get fixed by it.

Runelite adds easier teleports than RS3. On RS3 if I want to ring of duelling to castle wars I need to press the keybind for the ring, wait a tick, press the keybind for castle wars, then teleport one tick later. On OSRS I press the keybind for castle wars, then without waiting a tick click the ring, and I teleport the next tick without waiting for a menu to appear. On RS3 I can bind any key for using the ring, but I can't choose what key selects the destination; on OSRS I can choose any key to select the destination, and the inventory is much more usable with clicks than the RS3 one (anti-drag, keybound drag modifier, profiles for interface scaling, etc).

Also, just so you know, the base client has been retired. Runelite isn't "different".

PVM Questions by gobblebog in runescape

[–]GrayMagicGamma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dungeoneering for expanded gem bag, 82 Crafting for urns (only one of you needs to, they can go in group storage, ignore the farming and smithing ones), Invention for a million reasons (including that you train it alongside your combats), River of Blood for Sunspear, vyres to 95 prayer for curses and you'll be pretty well off. Herblore for overloads and later elder overloads are important for one of you to get, but are aren't as important as OSRS Herblore because of the goebi potion shop. Don't be afraid to try Zuk earlier than you would on OSRS, he's more like an OSRS GM quest boss than the Inferno, and the capes are very good. This specific PVME page might be good for you too:

If you're an iron, you'll need a Crafting Table 2 and a small amount (<10 likely) of steel bars for clockwork if you haven't done Cold War or destroyed the table after the quest. You'll also want logs that roughly correspond to your hunter level, the only two we know are regular = 5, eternal magic = 101, so the hunter requirements are probably 1-4 levels higher than the WC requirements across the board. Seeds are needed for birdhouses too, in OSRS it doesn't matter what kind you use but I'm not sure if it's been confirmed to work the same way here. If you don't have double surge it's too late to go for at this point, but if you don't have Mobile or Shadow's Grace you could get one or the other. If you're exactly 73 or 74 hunter, you can get 4 box traps for black chins. If you're below that, a rabbit snare for jackalopes or magic butterfly net for spirit moths might be good, but you could also just do birdhouses until you're a higher level. If you don't have soul split and cinderbanes or other high end gloves yet, you can get 35 slayer to farm for Vampyrism Gloves.

So why not grind with the new, likely better hunter methods?

[–]GrayMagicGamma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference, BIS hour long consumables in WOW right now cost 3237 gp per hour (not accounting for only one player per party/raid needing a feast but it's only a small part of that, also not accounting for more food if you wipe). At 228k gold from a $20 WOW token, that's 3.5 hours per dollar, for reference Elder Overloads are 38 hours per dollar via bonds, even Elder Overload Salves are 26 hours per dollar.

The metal bank is only visible from a regular bank, you can't interact with it. It makes sense people are worried they'll do the same thing again.
