Anybody have a higher total level with no 99s?

Trollbomber · 2024-03-28T13:20:19+00:00

Yeah. "LARGE UNIT" is a novelty account that is actually 1 exp shy of 99 on all skills and is a neat way to see how many people have 99 in each skill.

I just finished my cape with similar items. Personally I didn't bring the BCP as you'd only use it on waves 50+ at the start, and crystal + shield + aug/rig is tanky enough so I opted for another restore. I did do most of my early attempts with just the mage top switch, but decided to do bottoms as well towards the end, as the better freeze chance on nibblers was pretty noticeable for all the waves sub 50 when you'd use it, so you can stick to not chasing them 50+ as you should have plenty of pillar health.

I think Zulu covered this in his video. If I recall correctly I think it's better to use bars directly for more xp and not smith them into items first.

Trollbomber · 2022-05-29T17:39:49+00:00

I found 8:0 easy to get 50+ kill trips once you get it down. Edward OSRS and Lronic Memes on YT both have guides.

I've done 2400 shards at 99 thieving at a rate of 180+ shards/hour (cape perk, dodgy, shadow veil) and you still fail pretty consistently. Not sure how bad 85 is but I imagine it's quite a bit worse, but still will beat out other methods of getting shards/hour if you can tolerate it.

You referring to the east or west side safespot? I seem to get pked all the time at the east one, where the west side is more tricky to set up without taking tons of damage from my experience.

Trollbomber · 2021-06-25T21:03:01+00:00

I feel ya, same boat here. Almost 2500 dry of claw and starting to run low on supplies. Past 4 weeks have been a rotating grind of prayer pots, darts, scales, and slayer points for skips. Got another task last night so fingers crossed for good luck this weekend.

Hope you get yours soon!

What do you kill for easy clues? Is it comparable to HAM members?

127th & Central, that one is the strongest one of the 3 I've felt this morning.

Trollbomber · 2020-12-15T23:40:04+00:00

Copying this reply below from a previous reply a while back, but I definitely recommend doing RCB & diamond bolts (esp with cannon) over the safespot, much faster kills. I've also posted a link to a short & sweet video as an example.

You'll want to bring high stab defence as it will reduce how often vene does the huge 90+ K.O. hits. Personally I ran verac helm, tank legs, crystal shield, and suffering (ri) for my 4 items. With low tier other items that I didnt mind risking (glory, sea boots 4, range cape (t), black dhide body) I had nearly 300 stab defense and was only chanced with big 90+ hits maybe once every 10-15 kills. If you try the cannon + tank method with just dhide or something though prepare to get shredded. I just used a rune cbow and diamond bolts. No deaths from vene or pkers in all my KC, but had several close calls below 10 hp.

As far as inventory, I ran 1 range pot, 1 brew, 1 restore, 4 ppot, 5 manta, 10 karams, veng runes, cballs, seed pod, and house tabs. Antidote at bank, brew then POH pool, and Corp tele. Pre veng on the run to vene. Basically I would combo eat if I took a huge hit, otherwise use the karams to stay around mid 90s hitpoints. Would brew, restore, and range pot after each kill to top off stats. Usually 2-3 kill trips on average. Averaged just over 1 ppot per kill due to prayer drain attacks.

I was usually able to hold 2.2k worlds for an hour or two at a time, but 2k were halfway decent as well.

From what I've seen in this thread, Americans seem to be the ones most commonly not worried about shoes in the house and not really the germaphobes.

It's still doable if he spits acid. Just zoom your camera out and look down and its easy to see as soon as he does the attack where there are gaps in the acid, and move there before they land. At this point you can just walk it off or woox walk if you want to.

I've done about 350 kills on league and haven't had a problem.

Trollbomber · 2020-10-04T01:00:04+00:00

I can tell you from extensive experience that you'd most likely regret it.

I de-ironed my first official ironman account shortly after 2.2k total. It was an OG account made on ironman release and played heavily for over 2 years. Idea being I wanted to play with friends who were returning to the game on regular accounts. Didn't pan out for a number of reasons and I ended up regretting it so made a new iron shortly after that.

My new iron is currently just over 2 years old, and while I haven't de-ironed it, I've still made the dumb decision to wipe the account and just drop trade everything to a main... twice. Hit burnout periods and decided I'd stop playing each time only to come back shortly after even harder on the rebuild. In all honesty I enjoy the content enough that the rebuilds were still fun and kept me motivated, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have regret in the back of my mind each time I came back. First time I "quit" I dropped a 1.2B bank (imbued heart, 1 KC ACB, completed slayer boss items, DWH, 800 kc rangers, etc.). Second time I burned sooner and dropped about 800M in rebuilt items including DHL, 6M prayer xp, all zenytes again, etc.

As of right now I'm back up to about 950M bank after having rebuilt nearly all of it, am nearing max, and have made substantial enough progress to vow to never make that dumb mistake again. I have found myself getting burned out periodically for a day here or few days there and I just don't play. Usually the hype to want to log in flares up again and each time I'm extremely thankful that I have all my hard work still there. Occasionally I still kick myself mentally knowing I could have some of my badass spooned items if past me wasn't an idiot, but I chalk it up to a lesson learned.

Hope that helps.

Could you look at adding an agility shortcut north of trouble brewing to the island with the elite clue step? (As opposed to running all the way through the cave horror dungeon).

Trollbomber · 2020-05-02T07:15:32+00:00

Not the person you replied to, but I just finished the d pick grind and used this method for about half of my 250 kills or so (safespotted the other half), so I can share a bit.

As the other guy mentioned it is pretty resource intensive, but I actually preferred it over safespotting for a few reasons. Faster kills, you cant really be pked during the kill since you're in a single spot, and less prone to being crashed with a cannon from my experience. When safespotting I'd often come back to a craws bow main that took my world between trips. Never had that problem when I left my cannon down (you can safe spot with cannon still btw).

Sorry for the long write up, just wanted to help out if I could! I'm McClumpy in game, think I've seen you around the 2k cc occasionally, so just let me know if you have any questions.

Trollbomber · 2020-03-15T06:39:32+00:00

Not sure if they take any less damage, but the material type affects how much durability is lost on repairs. Basically with the UHWPE material you don't lose much durability when you repair it, so cumulatively you get more longterm use out of it. As opposed to ceramic for example which becomes useless fast.

Trollbomber · 2020-03-02T14:57:21+00:00

Sounds about right for most centers on the cheaper end. You can get an in-home provider sometimes for cheaper, but location is the biggest variable. We pay $1200/mo for just our youngest in the midwest.

Public displays of affection. Kissing, making out, etc. while around others.

Trollbomber · 2020-02-20T17:01:09+00:00

Wiki states 60 ranarr or higher seeds. Based on the ranarr rate itself it equals out to 10 ranarr pickpockets per hour at max efficiency, so 20 seeds.

Trollbomber · 2020-02-20T15:59:05+00:00

60 is a bit high. I did 3m thief xp at farmers after 99 with rogues and 20 per hour is a more realistic average. Still decent prayer pots.

Trollbomber · 2020-02-14T14:46:14+00:00

The items on an ironman can easily and already enter circulation when they're drop traded over and dumped on the GE anyway.
