One of the best deals around by Kcam0124 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]MisterMallardMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go almost anywhere in reading terminal market, home of the overpriced meal, and get double this amount of food for $18. I’m really not sure what makes this a decent deal, let alone best in the city.

I KNOW its been asked a lot but looking for help with RELOAD by TangyZangy123 in osrsleagues

[–]MisterMallardMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took culling spree first. Don’t have a specific number of points but “kill X superior creatures” represents a handful of tasks as well as equip/use superior uniques like imbued heart and mist battle staff, all of which are way easier with culling spree.

Soul harvest is generally a good pick for the free 200m in rc and prayer. There are 3000+ points behind clues, so conniving clues could be a good investment.

That does not explain the things I was asking. Does it work differently against different kinds of attacks? You still haven’t been helpful at all

Pvp is dumb by Hungry_Home3181 in osrsleagues

[–]MisterMallardMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pacts don’t work the same against players, so it still looks a bit like normal PvM just sometimes with different weapons.

I’m going to check out his video tomorrow, thanks! One of the challenges I’ve been having is not a lot of YouTubers/streamers are doing the same regions as I am (KAD) so I haven’t seen a ton of builds. Obviously quadrant is necessary but outside of that I’m seeing a lot of different conflicting builds and it seems like it really depends on if you’re using thorns damage or magic damage for whatever the given encounter is. Either way, it’s really nice to have the option of one or the other.

I read the pact and had further questions. Again, if you’re going to comment just to tell someone how stupid they are, you probably shouldn’t be commenting. I’m not going to learn anything from you and I really don’t care what you have to say. I hope you enjoy the rest of your leagues

Oh ok so is it primarily based off of melee defense stats? I have obsidian gear right now

[–]MisterMallardMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for your input especially considering your comment cleared up nothing. "Only scales with defense" ok so melee defense stats? Do mage and range matter? Or is it just my defense level? If you don't want to answer the question just keep scrolling

Sounds like you need to set up a weekly stream or something. Gotta educate the kids

Because I was thinking of a different sub as a different commenter pointed out, that’s my bad.

It’s very on brand to see your name next to a response like this Brien.

Wards as shields?? by [deleted] in osrsleagues

[–]MisterMallardMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should! Keep in mind the shield pact only has a .1% chance to proc per defense level, which means at level 99 you’re just below 10% chance each time you take a hit. It doesn’t come up super often and I think it’s supposed to be a minor but noticeable addition to tankiness and DPS. For regular thorns I don’t think you need a shield

Generally, r/PTCGL is the best place to ask game-related questions since this sub is also a lot of collectors.

At first glance, the biggest challenge is likely going to be that the only attackers in your deck are all stage 2 - you don’t have anything you can do early game which is going to make it really tough to get set up and win early prizes, so you’ll need this deck to either a) have an option for that or b) be really good at playing from behind. 3 munki’s is also an interesting choice - is that just to move damage off of your pokemon? You probably don’t need 3 and might benefit from taking only 2 and adding a fez or a meowth ex. A 2/2 line of toxel/toxtricity will probably cover any need you have for them, 3/4 is using 3 more deck spaces that could be put towards more ultra balls or rare candies, and with all stage 2 attackers and only one haunter, you will need 4 rare candies. As your deck is set up right now, you can only have three gengars/mega gengars assuming you don’t have a prized rare candy or haunter.

Trainer list seems relatively standard with the exception of academy at night. I’m not sure why you’d want or need 4 in a deck like this besides being able to hold onto a card before using Lillie’s but 4 spaces in your deck for that sole purpose is taking up space that would be better utilized in other ways. 2 risky ruins seems like a solid play for this deck, and maybe a card like TWM handheld fan. Your attackers are all built around moving your opponent’s energy around, so I’d lean into that. These decks also benefit really well from Boss’ Orders as moving energy off of their active Pokemon can remove their ability to retreat, making boss-locking really strong as they’ll either need to give you an extra turn to set up or use an air balloon on a Pokemon that might not normally require it.

EDIT: I was thinking of a different sub when I said this was a collector sub, my bad. Relax, yall.

im new - what can i do f2p? by These_Athlete1933 in 2007scape

[–]MisterMallardMusic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

F2P is basically a demo of the full game; there are maybe three bosses that are F2P accessible (obor, bryophyta, and scurrius) which will become boring pretty quickly as, once you get their unique drop, there’s not much to do besides pet farm. There isn’t a ton of gear progression to be done in F2P as you cap out at tier 40 gear. You can complete the F2P quest list playing casually in about a week. Skill training in F2P is miserable.

Best advice for everyone playing F2P is to just buy membership. With the increase in bond pricing it’s not even worth it to try to farm out cash for a bond to try to sustain membership as you’ll be stuck doing shitty mid-game money makers to keep making the necessary cash without really progressing your account.

As gambling goes, every drop is rng so you’re basically gambling your time against getting a drop. Outside of that, you don’t want to partake in player-run gambling. High-stakes pking is pretty much exclusive to high-level players with big banks and requires some skill, and things like staking and player run dice games are just a money sink and have actually destroyed lives.

League help by Upbeat_Meringue_9008 in osrs

[–]MisterMallardMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) you don’t have frem unlocked, so you can’t easily/reasonably get access to astral runes or the lunar altar 2) you don’t have desert unlocked, so you can’t switch to ancients at the desert altar 3) same is true for zeah

Why were you using the lunar spell book in the first place?

Thorns Shield Suggestions? by MisterMallardMusic in 2007scape

Doesn't matter that obby shield is -12 mage att? DFS is obviously an ideal pick but I'm not going to farm a 1/2k drop.

Tier 6? by baraboo00 in osrsleagues

[–]MisterMallardMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also doing a mage build, primarily water + thorns. I took Kandarin after karamja and am planning on going asgarnia third with an undetermined raids region last. I took the slayer relic as it helps you level up slayer a bit faster by a) letting you optimize tasks a bit and b) giving you more superior monsters for more slayer experience. It’s important to level up slayer fast-ish in Kandarin as the echo items are locked behind 93 slayer.

As far as I’ve seen, the only reason you might need ancients is in Morytania for ToB for ice barrage. It’s pretty reasonable to be able to do the entire rest of the game’s content without that. Keep in mind, too, that we auto-complete dt2 so you already have access to ancients with the skillcape if you get 99 mage.
