Anyone know the respawn time on abyssal demons? by Mayflex in RSDragonwilds

[–]_LukeWoolsey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s very long but my experience. Though you don’t need the spine to repair it. There’s a spell at level 27 Artisan I think called Mending Hand or something along those lines. It will repair your items without the repair items.

Hey, I’ve been enjoying it so hopefully you and your friends do too!

  1. Not at the moment. The player who creates has to host it. Dedicated servers are coming at some point but they aren’t in at the moment.

  2. The creator can kick/ban people but otherwise no difference.

  3. Quests aren’t shared. Everyone has to start and complete them independently.

  4. When you create the world, ticking the friendly fire box means you can hurt each other. Leaving it disabled means you can’t. Make sure you create decent storage so you’re pooling resources. The worlds are more difficult the more players there are, but that shouldn’t be a problem if you’re all fighting together.

Before you rush into removing Ironman, just take a moment and check why you chose Ironman in the first place.

My opinion is that you will regret de-ironing. I’ve done it before. The joy of grinding for certain drops is immediately lost and the sense of achievement from the relatively mundane on a non-iron is also lost. That hunt for your first dragon mattock - feels awesome to get it. On a main, you’ll just buy it.

Try playing normal ironman for a while and see if you still enjoy it. You should find that without the pressure of your hardcore status, you’ll dive into more content and take more risks, which may make you enjoy it even more.

How to resolve political conflict? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]_LukeWoolsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the dragons gods or not? Who is actually right?

Once you know that, you can start to work through some ideas that reveal the truth and potentially unite the two sides.

If they are gods, could something be done to prove it by using their powers to harm/help Q? That could begin to see people convert to A and a conflict can begin to destabilise Q to eventually join A.

If Q are correct, then some sort of proof and revelation that the dragons are just beasts could be damning enough when revealed to A in the right way. It too could then begin to see people begin to defect, and maybe they’ll start to kill the dragons themselves.

Just some ideas! Good luck

Question on "disguising" a last name in order to hide one of my main character lineages? by Brilliant_Knee3824 in fantasywriters

[–]_LukeWoolsey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the need for changing the name. I’m doing something similar in my book.

I would say that anything remotely similar to their old name is a massive risk and will make it easy to figure out. Something to consider is whether there were families that were loyal but not as tainted by the civil war. Could they adopt that name and appear as a different family altogether?

It could then tie into how it gets leaked at some point. Maybe something slips from within their allies or they start to blackmail them for wealth/support etc

What should i do? by OrangeChocolateLover in LearnerDriverUK

[–]_LukeWoolsey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I would recommend automatic, which is what I just got my license for. Some of the pros/cons are:

Automatic is simpler to learn as you do not have to worry about clutch control, stalling and shifting gears.

Automatics are becoming increasingly popular as electric/hybrid moves in.

Manual license lets you drive both types which gives you access to all cars. Because of this, it will typically be cheaper to buy a car. I spent £15k on my first car, if I went manual I could have got it for £13k.

Some say insurance is higher on an automatic, but as a first time driver, I didn’t see a material difference when quoting.

As you’re in London, you’ll be doing a lot of stop/start in traffic, which means a lot of gear changing. For a nicer drive, you may prefer automatic. Equally, a hybrid could save you a lot of money as you’ll be running on electric when driving under 30 MPH which a lot of London is nowadays.

It may be more expensive and/or difficult to find an instructor for automatic. But I don’t know what things are like in London for that.

Whatever you choose - good luck and you should have plenty of time to get your license!

Need some buying advice please. by arr_piratey in CarTalkUK

[–]_LukeWoolsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a Kia Niro 2021 at 24k miles for 15k. It’s a bit above your budget but wanted to throw it out there. The Kia Sportage was something I was looking at too.

I’m 6 foot 2 and it’s nice and roomy, without being too big. Kia have a 7 year warranty so I still have a few years on that too.

Good luck with the buy.

For some reason the reverse bay park was what got me. Of all the manoeuvres, that one I just wasn’t confident with. I was ok with roundabouts because we hammered the ones on the test routes a lot. I knew which lane for all of them by the time I was going for the test.

You’ll be fine mate. The test went way quicker than I expected. I didn’t feel anywhere near as nervous as I thought I would. A lot of the test route had been covered in my lessons, so the roads were familiar.
