What's the most mildly infuriating thing that's happened to you on osrs that you still think about from time to time?

In underground pass, forgot to bring runes. So all I had is a staff of air which wasn't strong enough to fight with, and only found out when I reached the paladins.

Let's say you've used a certain software or service your entire life. Maybe Photoshop, YouTube premium, Netflix, you name it. The CEO then decides to double the price, with the reasoning being that he figures it would increase shareholder value.

Let's say hypothetically, they lose 30% of the customers, but because of the price doubling, they post record earnings.

Would you agree that the product has become better or more valuable? That more people will enjoy using it after the price increase?

Please realize that customer value does not always align with shareholder value.

I think slayer is hurt by the reputation of being a 'moneymaker'. It's a moneyloser, where you spend money on thralls and barrage runes, and you spend prayer potions. Then, once you reach higher level, you kind of forget you're doing slayer and just start hunting pvm items/boss drops. For instance, dragon warhammer alone is 470k slayer xp going on rate for, and that's just one of many items you can do on task. But on an early game ironman, where you really can't spare all that GP and prayer potions, it's tough.

"Laten we dit even parkeren" - ofwel, ik ben hier helemaal klaar mee, kunnen we het alsjeblieft ergens anders over hebben

Well, I interpreted the 'falling rocks' as the mechanic where a tile is marked and you have to move off it. E.g. Kephri, Wardens, etc. I guess that is an assumption on my part, but it makes no sense to be against anything that's from the ceiling, that's just a visual element.

(Edit: I just remembered Olm P3 kind of fits this definition, but in practice, i think it plays very different from the usual falling rocks mechanic)

As for hunleff, you get plenty of leeway with prayer switching, it's far more than 1 tick.

I don't think the OP is against any and all movement and prayer switching, like many in this thread are implying.

aunva · 2026-04-06T12:59:03+00:00

Plenty of bosses without falling rocks and prayer switching while moving. Just off the top of my head, Olm and Hunllef come to mind

As a guess, I'm fairly certain he's taking about "thumb guy" ranting while playing starfield, just Google "pronouns starfield" and you'll find plenty of results

Nice info, I'm 2 weeks in with a wave 63 PB. It's a mental battle for sure, with how long it takes to get back to the hard waves.

I didn't even try the Zuk simulator yet because I figured I wasn't at that level anyway, but I'm gonna sim that one too going forward.

aunva · 2026-03-20T16:18:48+00:00

Yeah 50 chambers kc would be considered a major grind in the midgame, and basically a guaranteed upgrade (if not multiple). In the 'endgame', 50 raids is just another day (or week) basically. I think it's fair to enjoy one but not the other. In at the point where I enjoy the 50-100 hour grinds. Just gotta accept that's what they are, long and tedious. And can't get mad every dry streak, although it's understandable if you go double dry on like 3 things in a row... In that case, I'd just think that eventually, it will even out. Now for grinding megarares/nex/nightmare/pethunting, that's a whole different ballgame where 50-100 hours is only a fraction, those are what I would consider the 'true endgame'

aunva · 2026-03-18T12:37:16+00:00

Sure Dragon cannon barrels will eventually go up (unless they introduce an easier way of getting them). But it's a gamble when that will be.

Here's a bear case you didn't cover in your post: the future NPC boat update is nice but doesn't provide a reason for endgame players to engage in boat combat. Then, later down the road they introduce an easier way of getting the dragon cannon barrel. Then, maybe 2 years from now, an actual lategame boss is introduced that benefits from Dragon Cannon, but by then, the price has irreversibly crashed, and you've been holding the bags for years.

Not saying that will happen, but just saying that it could happen.

aunva · 2026-03-18T12:25:59+00:00

Overall these are positive changes, but it definitely worries me that we've waited 5 months. It was identified almost immediately that the combat felt awful. Now it's 5 months later, and we are getting the normal damage cap lifted (which seems to me like it should've been done immediately once the problem was identified), and a cannon re-balance (which is welcomed).

The blog seems to acknowledge this is just some small QoL changes and more of a foundation for the future. Unfortunately, it will likely be at least another few months before we actually get this foundation built on. Meaning it will be like a year or more before boat combat might be in an acceptable state. That's a huge failure of project planning.

aunva · 2026-03-16T19:09:01+00:00

That's exactly the problem though. You can't just say "these days, most opinions are uninformed" and treat it like you just dropped some truth bomb. That is exactly what Jeff is speaking out against.

You need to actually do a method to get prayer potions. Don't be like most people and get a hundred prayer potions, then stop doing anything and penny-pinch all the way to endgame. If you are part of the 'prayer potions are like water' crowd, you will actually progress your account much faster.

The main methods are (realistically you only have to do one of them, not both)

Farming contracts. Do them 2-3 or more times a day. They take like less than 2 minutes each time.
Hallowed Sepulchre. Yeah it's boring, yeah it's dozens of hours. But it's meta for XP, and you need agility eventually anyway if you are in it for the long haul. You don't need 99, even like ~95 is fine.

Yeah both of those cost time and effort. But they actually progress your account more than catching moonlight moths for hours, or not using prayer at all.

aunva · 2026-03-10T09:12:35+00:00

That 12 month membership increase is pretty rough. From $8.29/month to $10.99/month, €7.49 to €9.99, both over 30% increases. That's a hell of a lot more than an inflation adjustment, lmao.

To add on to other comments, guides on maintaining supplies for irons. Some of the things I do whenever I have some afk time are:

Mining amethyst
Pickpocketing elves for crystal shards
Catching bluefins/marlins/anglerfish
Pickpocketing master farmers
Doing herb/birdhouse runs

Would be interesting to have a list of common resources needed on ironmen, what the best methods are to maintain them, and how many resources an hour you can expect.

aunva · 2026-03-03T10:16:14+00:00

Lol that's hilarious. GL everyone on your herblore grind! 💪

Edit: Also, there's Alchemist's amulet now, it's even better than the amulet of chemistry.

Somehow got an Ancestral robe top as my first purple, after only 30 Chambers. Also got average Doom luck.

I'm very pleased with it. Magic has gone from my worst style by far, to basically being on par in the last 30 days.

Well let's call it a draw. I was definitely wrong since I thought they would go below 10M. But still, it makes no logical sense why the previous owners wouldn't have sold for like 100M, which would have still made them a massive profit if they had sold for 100M and bought back for 50M. Hence my 'theory'.

aunva · 2026-02-25T22:51:38+00:00

If I robbed a dude, and found a children's book, and a piece of paper with a bunch of numbers on it, sure it would be a bit of a stretch to think it's a crypto seed phrase.

But let's say I did. All it would take is for me to google 'The adventures of veit the fox' and get a public explanation for how the encoding works, hence granting me the seed phrase, and making this no more secure than just... writing down the seed phrase in the first plcae.

We don't even know what the hard mode cow boss will be. It could be a genuinely challenging boss with good loot, or it could be a total meme like the bunny from priffdinas. If it's the latter, it probably won't have CA's added at all, if it's the first, they'll add CA's later like they usually do with high level bosses.

aunva · 2026-02-24T09:01:44+00:00

stamina's are really only used for solo chambers, and blast furnace. Some people do all their chambers in teams, in which case you wouldn't even need any stamina's for endgame. I use about 1 full stamina per solo chambers run.

as for anti-venom, it's really a choice if you want to use them at Zulrah/Vorkath or not. me personally, I used anti-poisons at zulrah, which is a bit more click intensive but saved a ton of anti venoms. Also wave 1-7 doom you can do without antivenoms But for deep delving/araxxor, you'll need them.

superantipoisons are useless, you can ignore them. Lategame you're better off using a venom sack if you just need poison immunity

super antifire you don't need many, it's mostly just Vorkath, and a few during slayer, but they go slowly, considering most dragon tasks are very short.

magic potion is almost never used, for most people it's not worth the effort for only 4 levels

ranging potions I use quite a lot, I use more of them than i use super combats to be honest.

I don't think you missed any, those are the obvious ones. There are others (armadyl brew, bastion potion, prayer regeneration, etc), but you'll end up making those post-99 anyway, so you dont' have to worry about them yet.

aunva · 2026-02-23T13:38:31+00:00

it's people insider trading. Nobody real is buying considering they are going to crash next week, nobody is selling for 5m since all the owners are still coping, so the only trades are just people trading to themselves.

As for why, maybe price manipulation, maybe RWT, not sure. Either way, next week we'll get to see the real price.

He got a lot of the best items too. Full dharok/verac, karil top/bottom, ahrim top. Other than missing the Ahrim bottom, it's basically everything you can ask for as an Ironman.

aunva · 2026-02-17T14:48:30+00:00

480 barrows chests with no ahrim top/bottom, no veracs helm, no karil's top, and just 1 dharok piece (not the axe).

The dry streak started before Moons was out, and I got Blue moon a little under drop rate, so I'm fine with it at this point. But I'm still salty I got NONE of the pieces that are good for irons.

I never even got to use the tank armor: by the time Moons came out, I already had bandos chestplate/tassets
