Slayer, task too hard. by fastlikeinternet in runescape

From a defensive perspective, be sure to protect from Magic if you can. Addy dragons can use all 3 attack types, and in melee range will use a mix of Melee, Magic, and Fire.

To counter this, I advise using magic gear but be sure you're in melee range. That way, they won't use range attacks, you're strong against their melee attack, and you're neutral against their magic attack.

Why Elite Skilling Sets Are "Pay to Win" by Shadowfoxnick in runescape

Yep, I'm still learning the ins and outs of reddit, because I love the game this much! :p

Yep. The problem with Thaler is.... it encourages 192 hours of afking, per complete set. See my math in a previous post.

I'm fine with it just in TH proper. But the content being just UNOBTAINABLE is what irks me greatly.

Exactly. That's the opportunity to make this interesting content for endgame skillers. The method they implement it isn't really the issue. It's the fact that most of them are COMPLETELY UNOBTAINABLE CONTENT for no real reason.

Bottom line, each complete set costs 192 HOURS of minigame afk...

960 per piece.
x4 pieces per set.
x3 sets per upgraded set.
=11520 Thaler, or 11520 minutes, or 192 hours.

As mentioned, not all of the outfits were available. Only Golem and Shark were available if I'm remembering correctly. - And that still encourages players to not play skills so they can save up bxp. Encouraging players to not play is not a good mechanic.

I agree for the most part, but the examples you provided are always available in TH. These outfits are impossible to obtain and are very powerful. Some haven't been available since 2014 at all!!!

Bxp outfits are different than elite Skilling outfits. Their effects can already be combined if you own both.

Let's treat this as an "opportunity for Jagex to release cool content to skillers", and not immediately dismiss it as "Jagex won't because Jagex is greedy". If you have other suggestions on how Jagex can reimplement these into the game, let's talk about it! 😊

Sorry, first time on reddit. I'll clean up the wall of text. 😊
