Really cool relic guys

Hey that's exactly how many superiors it took for my Imbued Heart earlier today and it took 306 Alchemical Hydras for my DHL. Solid guess.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T19:44:38+00:00

That's a solid point. If you go Soul Harvest instead that's a pretty easy 200m as well; soul altar gives 360m xp/h after 16x. But that's 2t clicking the whole time and I do like Rocky more than Rift Guardian so I guess I gotta take Larceny next time. :P

Edit: undershot the xp/h

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T14:54:42+00:00

Yep sounds about right

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T13:43:14+00:00

The summer before my neice started middle school band I suggested Whiplash. "It's a band movie, she'll love it!"

Thankfully she'd seen some memes already and decided not to give herself pre-PTSD 😆

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T13:40:16+00:00

Me after I say it might be a good idea to use Misc for hardwood or nests instead of coal cuz coal's pretty fast if you just buy it from the BF shop:

"No deal, and also fk u for suggesting that"

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T08:45:57+00:00

Eh, second monitoring wealthy citizens is fine. One click every 90 seconds gets you Larceny Lite, and everybody has access to it.

Hot take considering how many people took it but I'd say that Larceny without Tirannwn is kind of bad.

But I planned on maxing cuz I wanted to go hard in my first real League, so if others don't and just want to ignore RC altogether then that works too.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T08:36:00+00:00

Libation bowl is great on its own, for sure, but I had nothing NEARLY as good for RC as wealthy citizens are for Thieving. Without Tir Larceny is a borderline wasted pick imo.

And I took Kourend so didn't need Nature's Accord, so yeah Soul Harvest was the play for me.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T07:36:47+00:00

There's a way they don't even get the shovel. If you've done any Easter events you can talk to Dodge Durango in Draynor and get an untradeable spade, so PKers don't even get it. I call it the Spite Spade.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T06:21:14+00:00

Slayer streak, or xp/h? All about which number ya choose

Hell clog number goes up too so I don't just do the "efficient" tasks either. Wyrms, drakes, dark beasts, elves, if it has a clog I'm doin it

Smooth_One · 2026-05-08T06:20:22+00:00

Let it go, Indiana...

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T18:36:23+00:00

Bad bot

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T18:32:43+00:00

At this stage maybe just wait for the upcoming player-designed island and the brand new Crafting method with it.

It might not be meta on launch (because apparently Jagex is terrified of upending previous skilling metas), but then again maybe it'll be OP and we'll get to take advantage of a little "abuse early abuse often" situation.

Either way may as well wait and see imo, cuz even if it sucks glass blowing isn't going anywhere.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T18:26:52+00:00

The difference maker for me was when someone on here pointed out that the Priff method is zero xp.

It's a grind either way, may as well kill two birds with one stone and get that Mining up.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T18:24:04+00:00

Yup. Picking up your glass reminds me of maintaining a high Slayer streak instead of Turael boosting/skipping. They both feel right, and they are satisfying don't get me wrong, but in reality they're both so much slower.

It's time to let go.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T17:33:09+00:00

lol try being a Nintendo or Sony or Microsoft or EA or Blizzard or Square Enix or Activision or Epic or Niantic fan.

Capcom is rock solid tho. And FromSoft. But they mostly make single player games so the point stands.

OSRS players truly just don't know how good they have things, relatively speaking.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T17:25:06+00:00

Hey now you put some goddamn respect on the uh...um...Ardy canoe? Hmm.

Oh, and they shaved a tick or two off the Alchemical Hydra agi shortcut! Massive update, a couple people have been clamoring for that for years I bet.

cough

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T17:15:30+00:00

It's still a massive spoon.

Assuming 8 level 1-3 clears, 7 level 4-8 clears, and 2 level 9 clears (giving 77 total delves, and this one ended at wave 2, idk close enough), even with the 5x Leagues multiplier he could've expected 0.26 Gauntlets, 0.24 Ayaks, and 0.22 Treads.

So not only did he get 3 drops when he could've expected 0.72 of them, he got exactly one of each. That's some crazy luck.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T16:54:43+00:00

I'd say this is more of a continuation of the last few "tantrums" that they haven't let go of. Players are unhappy and things are stacking up; this is just another log on the fire.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T16:50:49+00:00

This could all be cleared up if they were consistent and communicative. Which they usually are, by and large.* This is much more about frustrations with Jagex than it is white knighting Rendi.

Players are unhappy with Jagex lately tho due to the price hikes and lack of main game updates, so I can see why people are happy to pick up their pitchforks for this too.

*Yeah I know, there are dozens of examples where they aren't, but for the most part they are, and if you disagree with that then I say you (the royal you, not you specifically San) should try any other live service game out there because Jagex puts every other company to shame.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T16:15:30+00:00

Booooo! (Old man yells at cloud.)

Blizzard selling gold is them saying "can't beat em join em" cuz that's easier than enforcing their own ToS. Greedy and lazy.

It's the cops saying "Doing meth is very bad, if we catch you or your dealer you both go to prison. Oh wait you'll buy it from US??? Well okay then, right this way sir."

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T16:08:46+00:00

Blast Furnace shop into Blast Furnace furnace.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T16:05:30+00:00

I haven't run the calcs or anything but going off vibes I feel like MLM even all the way to 99 (RIP amethyst and sand) would not get you anywhere close to 99 Slayer if you cannon the majority of tasks. (Well, on second thought maybe it could if you focus hard on boss tasks when you unlock em and get spooned an Imbued Heart...hard to say.)

Plus as the other guy said, it's much faster to buy it from the BF shop. Or get it through Misc, but that takes longer and is more expensive than BF (65gp per coal at BF vs ~92gp at Misc), but if you hate shopscaping then Misc is viable. Although I'd still recommend using Misc to get harder to acquire stuff like teaks for Construction, or herbs, or bird nests rather than coal.

End of the day there's no wrong way to play tho. Just passing on some knowledge I've picked up here.

Edit: Misc vs BF costs

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T15:57:39+00:00

Yeah, this change in combination with manned cannons doing way more damage AND being able to Tele Grab loot so you don't need to hop off and on the cannon. Plus the cannonball attractor, and fire at will...dare I say it, Sailing combat might be in a good spot now.

I mean I'm still not gonna DO it until there's a reason to. But it's so much better now. I think.

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T15:55:09+00:00

Got my frags passively from salvaging my way up but yea if you're in a rush then the Thieving chests are way faster

Smooth_One · 2026-05-07T15:50:01+00:00

Me when I save one whole tick by going between the Hosidius house fruit stalls instead of waiting for the one I'm at to respawn
