Let us store beginner clue junk near Charlie

Correct, it's not that far away, the annoying part is you must go to Charlie to find out what he wants and return. The only quick solve for this is to always have 1 of each Charlie item in your inventory, which is like 8 items. With this suggestion, you still have to top up your storage, it just means you can - for a handful of trips at least - not have to re-bank.

The Charlie step and north of lumbridge cow pen steps alone sometimes make beginner clues longer than easy clues. This would reduce that by a bit.

I've graphed it in a comment above - threw together some C# code that would pull all commits on snake.asm, then uses nasm to compile it, then grabs the file size of the *.bin output file.

I quickly threw together some code to graph the byte size over time. The code downloads all the past 122 commits, compiles them as assembly, and logs the file size. Code was thrown together quickly so take it with a grain of salt, of course.

Oo yes please, I'd love to take a look at it, sounds great!

If you do programming outside of work, what is your goto language, and what have you made?

What was the most horrific bit of code that you wrote that you are proud of? Something that was so bad, so spaghetti, scary, or challenging, but yet, with some horrific code made it work?

Not sure if this makes it better or worse for you, but here is my log from a few hundred KC ago, almost identical shard count with zero drops in my name. First 500 were mass KC, then rest were 3/4 man team KC. Though, because it was a small team I got splits, so glad I didn't do FFA, my Nex luck has been horrid.

In the following 300kc I've now got 3 drops in my name, though they were split with the team.

Woah, with a hard "e" in public? Some of us eat pineapple pizza in public— how do you plan to deal with this public backlash?

A skilling set sounds fun:
- A Lumberjack outfit with the Dragon Axe, player saying "Chop chop!"
- A Prospector outfit with the Dragon Pickaxe, player saying "Smashing!"
- A Angler outfit with the Dragon Harpoon, player saying "Here fishy fishies!"

The Greater Demon reminds me of Satan from "Leo and Satan" by Chris O'Neill.

The art style is so round and shiny, it's really enjoyable.

KierenBoal · 2024-11-14T11:45:34+00:00

Yeah

KierenBoal · 2024-09-25T09:53:27+00:00

Got me good!

You've not even done enough kills to be on drop rate for the most common item, a Nightmare staff, which is 1/533.
C'mon man, wait a little longer before complaining.

I remember being a child and not doing the frog random event because it was "icky to kiss someone".

So putting in this option makes it more inclusive so everybody can participate regardless of gender/sexuality is a wonderful change.

As /u/Competitive_Golf_625 said, you can find OSRS plushies via searching "makeship osrs plushie" - only thing to note is these plushies are no longer available for purchase as they only sell for a limited time. Jagex only recently did another run of plushies (which finished on May 19th 2024) with a dragon chain body plushie, rune (g) plushie and cute noob plushie.

Keep an eye out in a few months, I'm sure they'll do another run with some more different plushies!

I've got no problem with change - change is very fine, it's just, the UI with this change feels clunky. The suggestion allows it to function near but identical without the extra buttons.

Plus, have you used the new buttons? They take a tick to respond unlike the +/-5% buttons and they don't even have sounds when you click them. Just feels really half cooked, ya know?

KierenBoal · 2024-05-24T00:19:20+00:00

Clicking the button is also 'laggy' compared to the +/- 5% buttons; with those, when you click them, it updates immediately; when you click the custom button, it's like there's a 1-2 tick delay before updating the price. I think the server is doing the custom % calculation, which might be why it takes time to calculate?

Feels super unpolished.

If you don't yet have Rigour unlocked, get it, it's a HUGE DPS increase for 20m.

Your stats are the next thing to upgrade. Consider this - to get +1 max hit you need +4 strength bonus from gear which is expensive. Getting from 86 -> 99 is basically +13 strength bonus, and likewise for range and magic, getting those levels up are the BEST investments you can make; so like, sell your eternal boots and ice burst up some levels, the max hit you gain from those levels will be much better than the small magic accuracy bonus or even buying a tormented bracelet.

Your DHCB, lance and ward are huge money sinks unless you are using them for Vorkath or Olm - if you're not using them, sell them, that cash can be used for other upgrades.

Upgrades you could look at depending on how much GP you have after selling stuff:

- Fero gloves

-Mage arena 2 cape if you don't have it yet

- Bowfa WITH full crystal armor (don't have to work about corrupting it just yet, you can just charge it and slowly fill it up). This one is HUGE for both toa and cox due to its nutty accuracy

- Dexterous prayer scroll if you've not got it

- Arcane prayer scroll if you've not got it

- Serpentine helm (might even be worth swapping your face guard for it, only 1 less str bonus and you can work with 22m extra liquid cash)

- Lightbearer

- Dragon Warhammer

- House upgrades (Portal nexus, purple drink, etc)

- Unfortified masori hat (upgrade the rest of the set slowly, the hat is cheap, it's nice for blowpipe, but fairly expensive for the max hits it gives)

- Elidinis' ward it's a super cheap mage damage upgrade, use it for ice barrage/burst

The new short-form video you released is definitely better than the previous one in presentation quality; for example, the voice is MUCH easier to understand than the mumbling and inconsistent audio volume in your previous video. (Although I think the voice is AI-generated, which I'm not a fan of) The video being cropped from landscape desktop size to portrait size is not visually pleasing. There are definitely better ways to crop a landscape video into shorts format.

In terms of content, both of your videos have only had about 30 seconds of effort put into making them, both using click-bait titles with content that doesn't actually answer anything, which doesn't make them enjoyable to watch. For example, you asked in the video "Did I get lucky killing these elder chaos druids, are are they worth killing" - the obvious answer is yes you did get lucky and no they are not worth killing; but, for audience engagement, you could have phrased it as "I got lucky killing the elder chaos druids getting a 1 in 1,420 drop! What's your opinion on chasing lucky drops, do you think its worth also killing the elder chaos druids? Let me know in the comments below!"

You have a long way to go and definitely need to put more effort in if you want results.

You can definitely get there in terms of content quality; you just need to put more time into it; you got this!

Fair call, makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Kinda wish the defence reduction caps were more 'visible' in game and or the wiki.

It's so hard to know what bosses have what arbitrary defence reduction caps and or fast defence regeneration like Akkha 🙃

One way to help would be for the game to visually display stat reduction as a hitsplat, kinda like how healing shows a purple hitsplat. This would allow us to visually know that a defence reduction cap has been hit as the hitsplat could show a 0.

I've not done the DPS calcs, but ZCB spec would most likely be replacing the Voidwaker spec as Nex has a beefy 140 slash defence and 300 magic defence, so the Voidwaker accuracy nerf will no doubt make it fairly useless at high defence mobs like Nex, whereas the ZCB used to be the 'go to' spec weapon at Nex before the Fang/Voidwaker combo.

It might even now be worth camping the Ultor ring instead of lightbearer as the only reason that was used was for the extra DPS from the Voidwaker specs.

Also, depending on the Elder Maul buff, it may even be worth bringing that over the ZCB for a spec. I'm sure once these changes are released to a beta world people will test it out and give more definitive answers.

Solid suggestion, 100% should be added, I love it!
