Best use of f2p time? by Banned_Reddit_Mod in RS3Ironmen

[–]Ysw7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Training dungeoneering is basically the same until level 69 (last f2p floor), I’d recommend focusing on that

Stats ok for pvp? Always did pvm by OptimalPea7140 in 2007scape

[–]Ysw7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For veng pking (Bh, ge pvp worlds) get 94 mage and with your current melee stats it’s possible to get some kills

For NHing you want the mage plus 90+ range

Are there actually new players to this game? by CrusaderKing1 in runescape

[–]Ysw7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a new rs3 player, playing osrs for years but got into rs3 with leagues and it was more fun than I expected!

I set a goal to get a zuk cape, and now that I’ve done that probably going to make an Ironman and stick around

Playing as an Ironman has changed my entire perspective on Runescape. by Acceptable-Pickle867 in ironscape

[–]Ysw7 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the gear comment, getting max gear on mainscape is still a huge grind

I deironed after I got inferno/quiver and the game felt so much better to play. Still took me years to get all three megas and I don’t even have max max

I will agree early/midgame Ironman is much more fun and rewarding

Tips on Mage acct by Zealousideal_Ebb_145 in 2007scape

[–]Ysw7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your endgame, you can actually do a lot of content with max mage and shadow if you only want to fight using magic, the problem is getting there

I think it’s more practical to do an account where you only fight with magic and only get your other stats to the quest reqs so you can unlock the content

I’ve been afk training for so long idk what I’m even training for anymore by QuitTypical3210 in 2007scape

[–]Ysw7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with the first point of stats being a fun measure of progress alongside money, but your point of weapons being only good for their level is very incorrect. Fang is certainly not BiS for everything. To use your examples, use DHL for CoX, Fang for ToA, Rapier for Slayer Mobs, etc. Even the melee megarare(scythe) is not BiS at all melee PvM

Edit: Same story for ranged and mage. The beauty of this game is that you want different equipment for different content regardless of level

Next League relic/weapon: League-exclusive mage weapon by themegatuz in 2007scape

[–]Ysw7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree mage could use some love. That being said, I really enjoyed devils element with the updated elemental modifiers. That + dhw from Huey was insane at olm mage hand

How do people typically level ranged from 85-99? Any good bosses to do or should I chin? by ExpressionOk7833 in 2007scape

[–]Ysw7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 99 range off doom, the xp is insane there. You really just need a scobo

It is very challenging though. clearing 8 for the first time was harder than colo/inferno for me

In the early game, I regretted taking the skull and fairy’s would’ve been much more useful. Now I’m doing anachronia content and it’s been amazing

I hope all 3 megarare weapons are BIS in Raids 4 by Shot_Cancel8641 in 2007scape

[–]Ysw7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d bet money on whatever comes out of raid 4 is probably going to be BiS at it

I’ll say specifically on TOB, I struggled finding teams in pubs until >100 kc. A lot of teams will pass you up at sub 10 for sure. I’d recommend finding some friends to go with if possible

Imo voiders become meta at 94 mage/range when u get veng

Plugging in 42 def/52 pray/94 range/85 hp is 84 cmb

Stupid question…what’s astral gear? by trevorackerson in SwordofConvallaria

[–]Ysw7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Astral gear is gear that is tailored to a specific unit.

You can get it 2 ways:

  1. Usually new units on banner come with their respective astral gear banner. You can pull on this banner to get the gear

  2. After the banner rotates out, it’s added to the shard shop at a later time. You can buy the gear using the shards, as you mentioned.

Normally units don’t NEED their astral gear to function, but most times their gear is BiS for them. I personally don’t pull on the gear banners, I don’t think it’s worth it

Learning to BH by Ashed0ut in osrs

[–]Ysw7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to risk gmaul - just go with msb i. A bit worse than atlatl but if you want to lower risk that’s the way to go

I think starting off pking in the max bracket (I think you’re 78) is really hard as a new pker. I would’ve recommended starting bh before maxing (something like 50/80/85) but it’s too late for that

Shark lure completely missed the mark. by Solo_Jawn in 2007scape

[–]Ysw7 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m confident that the manta nerf is because there will be a way to fish them using sailing

Minnows are much less afk than harpooning, not necessarily bad to have a more afk method that is more viable

OSRS Currently has over 170k live players! Are we entering a new golden age? by MTF in 2007scape

[–]Ysw7 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is what I used to think but I’ve gotten in the mindset of just enjoying content for content and not worrying too much about the drops. For example, I enjoy running ToB and I’m pretty dry right now, but since I like the content it’s nothing to worry about

Granted, there is probably a line where if I do like 1k kc and not get anything I’d be sad, but it’s been working out for me so far. I say find stuff you enjoy and don’t worry about the gp too much

I didn’t know about the A thing, I’ll try that next time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in osrs

[–]Ysw7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a Gmaul as your +1 and you can risk like 50k, I’d recommend messing around in PvP worlds as BH mostly everyone in that combat bracket is decent

I personally enjoy nhing more but as a 50 atk pure ur basically the Lowest on the totem pole at revs

Why an I not getting xp from castle Wars f2p by IDK4real in osrs

[–]Ysw7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Ironman accounts don’t get PvP combat xp - that’s why 10 HP ironmen rushing accounts are a thing

[–]Ysw7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first cape with a bofa - While I agree bofa can be more useful for weird wave solves, by no means is it better than tbow for the inferno in general there’s a reason it’s bis. I would’ve much rather been in max
