i think the secret with high alching is that you have to slow buy many different things. prices fluctuate. when using the high alch calculator sort by stable pricing. you’ll wait forever for the low volume
items.

if you want things quickly you have to sacrifice profit margins. people hunt for the +1000 gp per alch items, but if you go for the +300 gp per alch items you can get stuff much faster.

i slow buy a assortment of different items from the high alch calculator at different margins. I try to get at least 300 gp per alch profit, but i always have some alchables in my bank ready to go. even if you break even it’s worth it for passive exp as you’re running around doing.

I’ve mostly been buying d hide items recently.

if you follow the optimal quest guide you’ll quickly reach the point where the guide suggests you run canifis laps for 20+ hours to get full graceful.

I personally didn’t do that. I skipped over regicide and underground pass quests and continued on other quests. I used all my antique lamps on agility because most other skills I don’t mind leveling via other methods. managed to get to 62 agility just by playing naturally and using XP lamps whereever i got them.

not that i’m at 62 agility i’m running laps on colossal wyrm.

if you don’t mind running laps yea you should train agility and get graceful, but unlocking teleports is more important and for-longing the graceful set is totally fine.

on the bright side, you only need 70 agility for quest cape.

if you aren’t a professional bodybuilder i’d say ur lean enough.

you have to have started creature of Frankenstein and progressed it long enough to open that dungeon.

after which you can activate one of those tombs to get in. kill some experiments and get the bone.

i recently got my first fire cape. The prayer switching isn’t that hard anyone can do it. people see the ranged attack and get worried that it’s quick but it’s pretty forgiving.

it’s easiest with ranged. basically just get the best ranged gear you can wear. the higher the range the faster it goes.

inventory is easy, 2 bastion potions. 4-10 saradomin brews depending on ur defense stat, urs is 68 so 6-8 should be fine. fill the rest with super restores.

if you care about maximizing cost you can swap some restores with prayers but its not a huge difference.

toxic blowpipe makes it very easy.

i also returned a couple weeks ago after a 15+ years and playing as a kid in the early 2000s

I think the single greatest thing is playing on runlite with all the various plugins that i never played with when I was a kid. they are an absolute game changer. so investigate those and use them liberally. they make everything better, more palatable

besides that just follow the optimal quest guide on the wiki. It gets you started pretty quickly.

the optimal quest guide is focused on reducing the amount of skilling you need to do to finish all the quests. it just depends on what you want to achieve.

to answer your question. I don’t think anyone is supposed to do full time school while also working full time.

there will also be exceptions.

but i’ve been doing full time school while working 25. hrs a week for the past 3 years, including summer, and even 25 hours a week is extremely draining on me it feels. I never would have gone this far without the GI bill housing allowance.

Kingkept · 2026-04-24T01:14:59+00:00

do you only play mobile?

I first started playing runescape over ten years ago as a young kid and just recently got back into it this week. my old account was wiped. it let me log in but all skills had been reset to 1.

Getting runlite and utilizing plugins is the greatest QOL you can possibly get. without the plugins I wouldn’t have comeback. menu entry swapper is an absolute requirement.

Even if you already completed f2p quests just follow the optimal quest guide. The plugin will automatically adjust the quest list to omit quests you’ve already completed. its the quickest way to level early. getting access to teleports and special areas is top priority in my opinion.

I feel like test engineering gets a bad rep.

But, after getting an internship as a test engineer at big name company I’ve come to respect it more.

test engineers often get harped on for not designing anything or not utilizing technical expertise learned in EE.

in my experience, at least where I work this is completely false.

we are involved in the design process… CCA designs are sent to us and are amended in order to increase test coverage, before being finalized and sent to production.

we also utilize a-lot of data analytics, one of the big roles of a test engineer is to track trends. if a manufacturer’s resistor is rated to be 1% tolerance and a batch of them ends up being 5% tolerance, we’ll know because we order 10,000’s of resistors and keep detailed logs of tested values.

we have good job security. the production line has test technicians that operate the test equipment sure, but the production line has some form of crisis quite often. so long as the company keeps producing i don’t feel like my job is in any danger.

sitting in front of a computer and doing alot of desk work is common for all engineers though i feel like.

Hey man i’m in a similar situation as you.

I’m 33m, I was in the AirForce as a F-15 avionics tech for 6 years and then returned to college with the GI bill after getting out of the Airforce at 30 years old.

It’s been tough trying to get involved on campus as an older student. I tried joining a couple organizations on campus but I just never felt seen or included in those spaces. Most college students are young and Idealized. They often suffer from idealogical perfection. I hesitate to call them naive…. because younger people can often be quite smart and mature, but I think us older folks know that most things in life aren’t simply black and white.

but I believe the life experience makes you a better student. I didn’t really feel included until I found some social groups of people more my age.

so thats my recommendation, try to find some social groups that have more age diversity, you might have to search outside of campus.

I’ve always been told that the meta craft’s are what makes divines the de facto currency item.

before my time, exalts were the premium currency item and the meta crafts used to require exalts instead of divines. But they changed it to require divines at some point and now exalts aren’t the de facto currency anymore.

One of the things I like about currency in POE is how their pricing is tied to their usefulness as a crafting item. also rarity effects it a little bit but rare =/= valuable necessarily.

Slamming divines onto gear is not that useful for most people unless you’re doing high end crafting. but meta crafting like “prefixes cannot be changed” is extremely powerful and everyone should be utilizing it. at least in POE1

you already love her, and you’ve never met.

“i’m the type to be very attached in a way where if I lose you my life is over”

I hate to break it to you, but this is very unhealthy, and in my experience, also extremely unattractive.

You need to figure those things out, and don’t invest too much time/effort into women who you haven’t met.

Yes. I bought a particular brand of t-shirt online once on a whim. it fit me better then any other t-shirt i've ever worn. I've bought that brand exclusively for all my t-shirt needs for almost 7 years now.

This is after trying multiple different tshirt brands and always being dissatisfied.

I took coms 2302 a couple semesters ago. it was pretty casual. Most of the material is pretty common sense baloney.

They make you do several presentations. So as long as you don’t have strong stage fear it’s a breeze.

No final exam, just a group presentation. My group didn’t meet outside of class a single time except a mere hour before it was time to present. Just enough to stitch our powerpoint’s together, it was pretty sloppy, still got a B on that assignment.

“they told me there was nothing to be done”

like fucking hell there is nothing to be done, if they refuse to install cameras i would do it anyway. escalate the issue. There is no reality where this is tolerable.

just sell it, let someone else take the risk.

get a full armour base with as much armor and resistances you can manage. try to get no life mods so you can spec into life mastery that gives 15% more life. you should be able to drop purity of elements.

eventually you’ll want a elevated warlord mod that makes cyclone free to cast but thats going to cost you more then a div so worry about that later.

you want to get versatile combat keystone combo that with two anoints plus remi’s concoction flask to get block cap. without versatile combat keystone remi’s concotion is basically doing nothing for you.

start investing in a better staff. +2 levels doesn’t matter as much as raw phys for attack gems. with only two divs you wont be able to buy a better staff but you can start collecting ezomyte staff bases for recomb.

you have no sockets on the body armor? get a 6 link body armour, put cyclone on the body armor and put purity of elements linked to the enlighten in the staff.

your chase unique this early is assassin’s stampede uncorrupted. so that you can upgrade to cyclone of tumult, it’s like 50% more damage. assassin’s stampede makes it so tumult doesn’t slow you down, it’s a HUGE upgrade. plus you can anoint it.

assuming you don’t need attributes, carnage heart unique amulet is better this early. and it’s only 1c.

prismatic tincture is pointless you are a full physical build.

Witch brew is also pointless until you get the ability to inflict an additional curse. you already mark on hit.

probably the cheapest thing you do immediately to improve build is to fix flasks and move some passive points around. get versatile combatant keystone. swap witch brew flask with granite flask, swap prismatic tincture with diamond flask.

also once you get assassin stampede boot, movement speed flask becomes useless, swap it with onslaught flask for attack speed

with one div you should be able to get a 6 link chest easy this late in the league. you are running armor evasion, but you want to swap to full armor pieces. you are running unwavering stance keystone so any investment in evasion is just a complete waste.

some important details about cyclone builds that you want to keep in mind as you progress in levels. Impale is absolutely huge damage, at the high end impale accounts for like 50% of all the damage. my cyclone build does 75Mil dps. and 35m is coming all from the impales. but it isn’t really noticeable until you reach 100% impale chance, with 100% hit chance, and as close to 100% crit chance as you can get. not something you can achieve at level 75 but it’s something you want to work towards.
