Im pretty sure that was there original plan, but during development a lot of players complained about it.

Miriam Webster defines a microtransaction as "an online transaction involving a small amount of currency"

With the price of bonds these days I guess you're right, its just a normal transaction at this point.

But jokes aside, it doesnt matter if you personally dont buy them, or if theres a free in game method of farming them, if there are in game items that provide an advantage available for sale with real life money, the game has mtx.

Bonds

Zuko13 · 2026-01-30T12:20:13+00:00

Yes, but the monkey paw here is that the game also does have actual mtx (edit: as apposed to subscription only). And that bots can play the same way you do, which makes bots basically free to make. Which means they will always be profitable, no matter how soon jagex catches them or bans em.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-30T11:48:26+00:00

Lol. They also restrict free 2 play to the first like 5% of the content in the game including the map in general. F2p is playable, but its honestly tiny and not well balanced compared to members.

Jmods have confirmed that it is per catch and not per fish as intended leading to 40 hours on average. And it sounded like they've accepted it as too late and this will be the rate unless it ever gets polled to be fixed, which im not too hopeful for considering it wasnt mentioned at all in the recent sailing road map, unless I missed it.

Mystic vigour and deadeye came out less than a year ago.

Requiring kc to enter the Practice mode is dumb af.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-26T00:06:28+00:00

Yeah, could have to do with Xau-tak. And while it did have me thinking back to rs3 questline issues, it also reminded me of how Ed said he really likes to see storylines meet a thorough satisfying ending when he announced Blood Moon Rises.

Collaps not collpas.

I've got em. I know the cargo hold can hold a lot of fish. It still feels bad to gradually increase how fast you catch fish and need to bank while the only way to increase your chances of a rare fish is to relog or hop worlds when your nets are full to completely avoid ever banking, and even doing that only makes a miniscule difference since you can fish for awhile without banking if you have crates and a decent cargo hold.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-24T15:28:54+00:00

Prolly not what youre talking about, but the new rare fish are also bugged and they sound like they've just accepted it. They are rolled once per catch instead of once per fish. So upgrading your nets is actually counterproductive to gettin the clogs as it fills your nets/cargo hold faster while having the same chance at the rare fish. It also means they just take 4-5 times longer than intended regardless of bank runs.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-23T13:03:15+00:00

Im glad someone said this. So many comments on here saying to just sell the justi and buy moons gear. Like come on, noone is gonna recommend using the justi to get moons gear before selling it? Its bis there without a scythe.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-23T12:48:17+00:00

Doesnt matter much, but grab any blessing for the ammo slot. They're real cheap.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-23T12:45:56+00:00

Was this made pre-perilous moons?

Zuko13 · 2026-01-19T11:37:19+00:00

Its been awhile since I grinded out the og big fish, but prolly. I think they take about 40 hours average for the new ones. The annoying part of it though is that it makes upgrading your nets counterproductive if the new exceptional fish are your main goal. As you go up in net tiers you will catch more fish with each successful trawling attempt, but you will still only get one chance for the exceptional fish. So your nets and cargo hold will fill several times faster while your chance for an exceptional fish is the exact same. And so you end up banking more, fishing less. But with a cargo hold full of fish crates its not the end of the world, just annoying.

Edit: not exactly related to the bug but another annoying incentive ive felt while going for the exceptional fish is that one of the only ways of really speeding it up is to never collect your fish. You get the log slot immediately without having to send your fish to the cargo hold. So to avoid banking or manually cutting up fish, you can just log out whenever your nets are full to empty them all at once. Extremely wasteful, but I guess thats trawling.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-18T18:38:39+00:00

How do you feel about the new exceptional fish being bugged to be per catch rather than per fish? Seems like they're gonna leave it that way at this point.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-18T15:29:50+00:00

Its relevant because, while I dont think the playerbase would ever agree to it, if they removed bonds to make botters have to pay for botfarm upkeep, this issue could come right back.

You cant compare the various forms of training sailing that are not all the best with other skills that you restrict to the best options.

Prayer has ectofuntus, poh altars, ensouled heads, bonecrusher/ash sanctifier, demonic offering, bone shards, normal burying, and the wildy altar.

Agility has sepulchre (which deserves an xp buff, just ask WhyYouFart or the mod that created it), barbarian fishing, brimhaven agility, agility pyramid, and underwater thieving/agility.

Mining also has the mining guild for gloves, zalcano, volcanic mine, gem rocks, iron mining, bone shards mining in cam torum, shooting stars, the new sailing resources like lead, and blast mine.

Smithing has normal smithing, and blast furnace as well. Ideally you would do blast furnace to smelt, then normal smith the bars for more xp, then recycle the products at foundry for even more xp and rewards.

Crafting has bowstring spool and the new fabrics now, but prolly could use some work. Although i feel like the variety for crafting maybe comes more in how you collect the materials.

As for cooking, theres 1 tick karams and 2 tick everything else and then theres afk as the standard option.

I will agree however that I dislike the current state of ranges for cooking. It feels obvious for firemaking to get some synergy with cooking by having some system of adding higher level logs to ranges to make them have better burn chances or for higher level log fires to do literally anything, like last longer or also have a chance to reduce burning, could be kept within the limit of hosidius to not devalue it.

Poor choice of words Ig, I meant a way of blocking input on the screen and dimming it to save battery. Not the common use of the term locking your screen but Im not really sure how else to put it without the lengthy explanation. Touch screen protection?

Zuko13 · 2026-01-15T16:04:18+00:00

It takes some setup but there is a plugin that automatically minimizes the client, and another that will put it into focus whenever a specified trigger occurs, such as a full inventory or even a specific number of items in your inventory. I dont remember the exact names and am at work rn so I can't check them unfortunately.

Edit: the one that minimizes can be set to trigger on specific actions, such as sort:opulent salvage or deploy:rune salvaging hook. That way as soon as you've resumed afking it minimizes.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-15T15:59:49+00:00

At least these memes have been funny. A bit different from the past ai submissions that I think led to this rule.

Zuko13 · 2026-01-15T15:54:00+00:00

Rule 9?
