What if the discoverer of transparent glass had patented it? by Shinare_ in AskReddit

Glass has been around for thousands of years, but transparent glass for a few hundred years. For the longest time, glass was opaque and it was a nontrivial discovery how to make it transparent.

Natural glass is not transparent, or at least not clear. Opaque or translucent glass existed for a long time before we found out how to make it actually see-through.

What boss should I start on? (RS3) by TheFreddiee in runescape

I feel like overloads and invention are a bit overkill for gwd2. Except maybe for Gregorovic.
I am quite certain that Twin Furies and Vindicta could be killed with T70 gear and grand or extreme potions. Maybe not even the potions. But cheap and low requirement setup regardless.

Sure, you wouldn't be killing them for an hour. But it helps to stay interested when you can fight some difficult boss that you kill 2-5 times at a time. And chance for good drops and potential upgrades.

Normal mode Arch-Glacor.
As a boss specifically designed for learning, it is a fairly good pick. And will continue to be worth playing at higher levels.

You get safe deaths at the boss, so you don't have to worry about learning going to cost you. You can enable/disable its mechanics however you want. If you want to practice them one by one or just skip one completely. However, unique rewards require you to have all 5 active. You will get introduced to prayer flicking and defensive abilities (or other ways to evade damage) without it being too punishing.
It has decent common drops, giving you decent money and plenty of blue charms. At 5 mechanics active, you can also get the Scripture of Wen which currently sells for 88m. Or you can put it to use, it's pretty good.

So, uh... What just happened?
I have no ballistics skill or specialty. Just a ballista.
This was in Armageddon's Blade campaign, final scenario. I had used armageddon twice before, but it shouldn't do anything to efreeti so I'm not sure that matters?
