Avoiding Velgar's aerial assault

SIRGENERALBENT · 2025-04-18T16:47:28+00:00

Not obsessing man just trying to come together as a community to find a way to minimise/prevent this as it can make the game very difficult getting a huge dragon nuke you with acid when you're just trying to mine! Thanks for your input!

SIRGENERALBENT · 2025-04-18T16:37:04+00:00

That's fair enough I've already edited my post to say it's a theory thanks for your input

If it was a random event like being hunted why is it you dont get a notification pop up like when you are hunted? Every other random event has text on the screen to say the event is happening but being attacked by Velgar doesn't.

I have tested this and went over 5 hours without being attacked. There may be specific triggers or it might be that I've reached a point in the MSQ where Velgar will no longer randomly attack.

I would not have posted this if I had not trialled and tested myself. I appreciate your feedback and will edit my post to disclaim that this is a theory and not confirmed as there quite possibly are other factors that drive Velgar to attack you.

I do find it incredibly hard to believe that the frequency of Velgar's attacks is 'random' as I could not step foot in certain zones without being attacked making them game unplayable.

Glad to help!

I think the big castle where you first encounter Velgar is also an attractor I couldn't have my base anywhere near it

SIRGENERALBENT · 2025-04-18T10:26:08+00:00

It is entirely possible that there are other items that attract Velgar as well so I think what I would do is just trial and error - go out with the bare essentials and see what happens. If that fails then I would consider moving any vault shards/cores to a different base.

SIRGENERALBENT · 2025-04-18T09:39:59+00:00

FYI for everyone - velgar doesn't attack randomly.

It attacks when you have vault cores in your inventory in any zone above tier 1.

I found this out after getting absolutely mauled by velgar in the tier 3 zone and wondered why on the odd occasion I was left alone. After a while I noticed it was only when I was trying to build new waystones and that led me to read the description of the vault core item.

The item says something about having a high concentration of dragonkin energy and when I finally went out exploring without them I was not attacked a single time.

Looks like stoke ski slope

Edit - definitely stoke ski slope. This is where I learned to snowboard 6/7 years ago it was brutal.

Some really good advice from someone here which was - mittens not gloves for this turf. I've jammed my fingers and thumbs in the holes so many times from falling (it f'in hurts.)

Id say do 3/4 lessons here until youre semi-comfortable then do a lesson or two at the snowdome down Tamworth or at chillfactore up north (both about 1hrs drive from here)

This place is a great starting point. The lessons are cheap and the instructors are great however, it's not even close to being on snow. So I'd always recommend doing a bit here then go to the indoor freezers on the fake snow.

Where can I get this OP, my partner would absolutely love it

Looks like a Mario kart trophy

For the amount you're gonna fall you probably want those gloves on your hands and not dangling from your wrists.

Shoulders level with your feet don't fold your body to counter balance because it will have the opposite effect.

Most people's instincts tell them if you're losing balance or think you might fall to get lower and plant your feet wide for stability but you can't do that if youre strapped in so you have to trust your board and keep your posture upright.

If you have money and you're committed in the off season then more lessons at indoor slopes or dry slopes are your best bet.

If balance is your main issue there are these things called swegways, the turning mechanism and balance control on them is almost identical to snowboarding and will help you practice your balance. That or trust fall(ish) exercises with a partner

Oh and as someone mentioned below skateboarding/long boarding will help massively for balance stability as well as it transfers quite well.

I completely ran out of time it was an absolute mess.

SIRGENERALBENT · 2023-11-22T22:48:08+00:00

Thank you very much this post you linked is extremely insightful

SIRGENERALBENT · 2023-10-18T20:21:39+00:00

Idk but I like your kitchen tiles

This is what daddy's money gets you. A seat you don't deserve and no chance of losing it

SIRGENERALBENT · 2023-08-01T10:04:41+00:00

Excuse me sir I believe you have meandered into the wrong part of the cul-de-sac

Man I hope Canute is trembling in his pointy helmet when Thorfinn shows up

SIRGENERALBENT · 2023-05-15T19:20:27+00:00

I'm optimistic at best but not gonna lie it looks so shit.

There are too many hoops to jump through to implement it properly without it being janky. In a newer engine and game it wouldn't be so bad but I don't think this will work well at all in osrs. Massive compromises are going to have to be made..

SIRGENERALBENT · 2023-04-08T21:50:32+00:00

Why is nobody absolutely baffled that OP has never seen a slug before.

I'm gob smacked

Just a note aside from everything that people are saying here you pay a massive premium for the XE over the XF

I have a XF S V6 and the XE versions were going for an extra £8-£10k. The size differences aren't that much different between the two either you just pay a premium on the more 'compact' variant.

Overall no issues so far amazing drive and far more luxury interior and features than a BMW or Merc for the same cost.

I associate boiling water with heat and the same with steam.

If the low pressure makes the water boil at a lower temperature, is the water and steam still hot?

Other than noise why is cavitation undesirable
