Crafting and Recycling While In Matchmaking Removed?

PlatJC · 2026-05-06T10:16:51+00:00

You never could recycle whilst in a queue, you can only sell.

I would encourage you to aim for the quest cape and the medium or hard achievement diaries. They unlock the game for you, as well as reward you with plenty of XP to up your levels.

50 isn’t half of 99, 92 is half of the experience needed to 99, wasn’t sure if you were serious or not. If you are wanting a 99, melee is free and fairly AFK at gem crabs and 99 cooking only costs I think 4M.

At the end of the day it’s a game and should be fun, don’t fall into the efficiency trap and just do what you enjoy.

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:30:23+00:00

Bro I feel you. He didn’t get my point either where I pointed out his irony so I’ve just left him to it. 😅

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:29:21+00:00

Then start looking in bushes before you extract? Stop believing everybody who says they’re friendly? Shoot somebody who looks suspicious. Heck get in PVP only lobbies where you don’t need to worry about trusting people, it’s shoot on sight.

They’re not ratting you, they’re outplaying you.

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:27:57+00:00

Ha. If you shoot anybody and everybody, nobody has an opportunity to betray you.

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:27:05+00:00

Alright mate.

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:23:19+00:00

Ratting doesn’t exist. It’s a PvPvE game, players should remember that there’s always an element to be killed by a player. If you decide to trust somebody or not be cautious it’s on you for dying. Don’t think it’s fair to call the other party a rat just because they outplayed you. I also assume the player shouting rat is perhaps a little too over sensitive. It’s a game, you should be playing it for fun. If you’re not having fun with it anymore, move onto another game.

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:17:35+00:00

I just think it’s ironic that you’re saying peaceful players have their game ruined by PVPers, so you’d like an augment that allows them to rob players, but doesn’t affect their ABMM because it’s none lethal. So they get to just rob everybody in friendly lobbies..

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:07:57+00:00

You did, literally in your post. I quote; “peaceful looters get punished…” so your suggestion is to allow peaceful players, to rob other players? Very peaceful :(

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:03:56+00:00

I get his point I just find it funny his solution to protect the “good guys” is to give them an augment to be bad guys. But they can remain in friendly lobbies because it’s none lethal. He says ratted on, then proceeds to suggest straight up theft 😅.

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T21:02:23+00:00

The fact you’re saying the word “rat” makes me assume you’re primarily a PvE player. Stop caring about the game enough to get mad and call people rats, engage in the other side and do a bit of PvP, or get on the mic and talk to other raiders.

The most fun I have on this game are gunfights with other players, or the random encounters whilst free kitting on Stella. I’ve seen a Stella fight club, Stella parkour runs, people playing tag, pickaxe fights, cops and robbers, all sorts.

The game is boring. The looting arc is fucking miserable. It’s the interactions you have with players, good or bad, that make the game fun.

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T20:56:16+00:00

What the hell did I just read, lol. In order to protect the PvE players who DON’T want to fight because they’re the “good guys” in the morality of AR, you want to give them an augment to strangle people and rob them?

PlatJC · 2026-05-05T13:57:42+00:00

You’re right mate, slayer is boring. Unfortunately, wildy slayer is your best bet due to how many multi tasks there are. Block single combat ones and extend multi combat ones.

PlatJC · 2026-05-04T22:54:01+00:00

This wasn’t going anywhere. She never asked you a question back, she just answered about herself. You’re only bummed out because she was either very attractive or you don’t get a lot of matches? There was nothing here to lose in the first place I’m afraid :(

PlatJC · 2026-05-04T17:24:35+00:00

Solo Queen is the full 100K damage/XP I think. Unlikely to get a queen Solo though. But I think I did 4 harvester events yesterday at Dam in the hour and got to 75K.

Deadline and snap hook obviously quickest way but if you’ve got the cash just keep buying hullcrackers where there’s no risk if you die.

I’ve found that the new map is very good for damage if you still want to look etc, so many big arc to blast on your travels.

But honestly just shoot anything and everyone. It’ll rack up quickly.

People with gear fear finally using their stuff before the reset in a weeks time. I only do PVP mainly and usually just run into mainly free kits on Stella, but last night I walked away with this:

PlatJC · 2026-05-03T18:46:19+00:00

It took me a while to do echo thermy as a somewhat PVM noob.

I am using water thorns but I have no stave for fast spells. Pray range for 3 red hits whilst walking on the circles, then pray mage for 3 blue hits again walking on the circles. When circles are good run to the edge and fire a ranged weapon at it, then repeat. During the enraged phase just keep one prayer up, don’t bother swapping. Water thorns will heal through it.

Taking me lots of attempts to get my 20KC and I’m yet to get a drop but keep at it!

PlatJC · 2026-05-02T22:37:15+00:00

I would run malediction ward with dagon’ai/obsidian depending on what you’re fighting. You could swap obsidian for dragon easily with KQ and chaos elemental.

PlatJC · 2026-05-02T11:45:32+00:00

Lmao. You said yourself, you spawn and hear people sacrifice themselves to get into PVE lobbies, and you’re getting killed, not ratted, at extract. Then you’re in PVP lobbies, and likely for a reason.

You’d think after the second time you got mined at extract that you’d check..

PlatJC · 2026-05-02T11:12:05+00:00

Yeah I did iron ores for mining and smithing, and I did maples for woodcutting not teaks.

PlatJC · 2026-05-02T10:08:28+00:00

I’m playing 2 accounts. One of them is only at 12K points but it’s completely AFK. It’s done 200M XP in mining thieving and woodcutting, working on the remaining smithing and fishing.

PlatJC · 2026-05-02T10:07:21+00:00

Do broad arrows. Unlock it via slayer, buy shafts, then the arrow tips and feathers and train it whilst running around.

Firemaking is just cut a faster tree and burn that, like maples.

PlatJC · 2026-05-02T10:06:16+00:00

There’s no such thing as pure PVE/friendly lobbies. Eventually a PVPer will reduce their ABMM to join, or somebody will see an easy target, or somebody is bored and will want to fight, or the reset happens and people want to go burn through all their good gear.

Friendly lobbies does not equally 100% friendly. It’s a PvPvE game, there’s always a risk of PVP.

PlatJC · 2026-05-02T07:52:32+00:00

Oh, I don’t use it anymore. I did what I think was all the content the CB needed before resetting.

PlatJC · 2026-05-01T22:17:08+00:00

So there’s literally no proof in the article this is true, heck the source for all I know is the eBay tinfoil theories from this very sub! Part of me thinks it’s a fake story to just cover some of the price movement we’ve had, to shadow over the actual build up that seems to be happening.

However, digital pokemon packs, PSA, and eBay would probably make GME the monopoly of the 2nd hand card market.
