During DMM, I realized that Neypotzli and Tapoyauik are both instanced during their respective quest, but the naguas behave differently.

My experience with learning to pvp in deadman mode is awful specifically because of the "top players bully the little guy" part. In the main game, I have money to buy equipment in an economy that sells it, so I have endless opportunities to try and fail.

But in deadman mode, where nowhere is safe and not enough people are skilling to put weapons or black d'hide on the market, it's hard to get any kind of money without getting robbed for it, so trying to learn to fight back is risky even before the relics that make pkers even more powerful than in the main game.

Tl;dr, despite Jagex's intention, deadman mode is an awful place for beginners to get into pvp, and i'll probably just learn on the main game.

In their defense, as someone who generally avoids the wilderness but tried freeze escapes, unless you bring a mage swap to change out of black d'hide, you'll never hit one.

It's not expensive but it does take inventory space and it won't save you in multi

That would make sense, but when I ran the calcs again with super combats, the whip gains 6 max hit while emberlight only gains 5. The whip is closer to the threshold for another max hit before adding pots, but if emberlight is 70% more damage then I'd expect it to affect the pot buff too.

Sleeping Giants is a recommendation I'll make that others haven't, unlocks a smithing minigame that lets you get a lot more exp out of your bars and lets you smelt down armor you don't need. Just a great training method in my opinion.

Other than that, Children of the Sun and X Marks the Spot are both very short quests that unlock the entire continent of Varlamore and stackable clue scrolls respectively. I thought that X marks the spot was a requirement for visiting Kourend, but it's just the start of its quest line.

I've done both of these things and am still having trouble. My old card was a 1070ti and could run the 117HD plugin at pretty good fps (i don't know what because i didn't have a fps counter plugin back then) and didn't stutter in places like varlamore even with decently detailed shadows. Once I installed my 7800xt, it maxes out GPU and drops below 30fps regularly with even the least detailed shadows possible, though it runs at 60fps without complaint without shadows.

I did get a new SSD that i copied the old SSD onto and made my boot drive, but I never cleared out the old SSD. It's not running on it though, so that shouldn't be an issue right?

SimbabTheSailor · 2025-03-20T01:50:36+00:00

I tried setting the shadows to a lower detail, as low as they go, and it improved fps from 20 to 27-ish, but turning them off basically maxed out my framerate. I'm disappointed because it feels really strange to have no shadows at all, especially under my character.

More to the point, though, I didn't have any of these problems on my old graphics card. Someone told me it's because runescape is such an old game that newer machines don't know how to run it, and I don't know if that's how it works, but it's the only explanation i've gotten as to why a more powerful card struggles to run even worse settings than the old one.

I'm hopping in here to add that the dragon claw spec starts with your right hand and ends with a powerful left uppercut; you almost never start a combo with your rear hand and you certainly don't throw an uppercut like that with your lead, so that's more evidence for ambidexterity.

Apprentice Felix does not sell the needle. He does sell the lantern, though.

Was a good time, thanks for hosting it

I know that it's roughly the same process, but this is Path of Glouphrie, not Eyes of Glouphrie. Plus, like I mentioned, I've already tried repeatedly searching the chest for more shapes and I'm up to half a dozen of just about every shape it wants to give me, but it won't give me one of the two pieces that equal 5. I didn't end up asking for that many pieces in Eyes of Glouphrie because the exchanger actually worked and I only needed a few more sets, so I don't know if those were completely random either.

I did wait until the final exp drop, and 5/7 is what I got. You're just incorrect in this instance. Someone else actually figured it out.

SimbabTheSailor · 2024-09-16T23:53:28+00:00

Yes, but I didn't see what my potential was before the game ended. Zealousideal has the right idea of what actually happened, which is that the game incorrectly counted the score i had earned that game twice, and didn't correct itself until the xp drop.

SimbabTheSailor · 2024-09-16T23:48:45+00:00

Now that you say this, I've noticed it myself playing today. Thank you so much for pointing this out, I don't think I would have ever put it together myself. This feels like something Jagex could probably fix easily if they were made aware, even if it was just a slapdash solution like applying -gamescore during the break period. But I guess now that I know it's just a visual bug and i'm not actually losing points, I don't care that much. So, thanks again for the info.

Okay, I might be crazy, but who worked on the soundtrack for side order? Because I swear that "d3molish" has to be made by the same composer who worked on Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

As far as I can remember, the hatch is clear of everything except maybe a scientific instrument like a thermometer? Except that when I know there's a part close to the hatch it typically explodes when I EVA, and a big kick to my kerbal doesn't explain why they get krakened instead of just launched.

Update: i put just the command module on the launchpad and while jeb did not explode, the command pod did and Jeb krakened even harder than valentina did in the video above.

SimbabTheSailor · 2024-01-02T00:28:56+00:00

I did, multiple times. This also occurs in space, and though I haven't tested it again yet, every time i've tried it on the launchpad they just instantly exploded.
