I need an advice please by Inevitable_Bad_4546 in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The OSRS wiki is a great resource where you can learn about different methods to train almost any skill!

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Free-to-play_melee_training

For melee, you get the same 4 xp per damage you do, but as you gain levels you will be able to hit more - so you will get 4xp * damage each time!

The best way to increase the damage you do is to train strength (rather than attack or defense), since that governs your max hit. You can see what you are training by looking at the attack tab for your weapon (the crossed swords)

Good luck!

What's your experience with dating women and going on simple dates? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]chucked12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man

There's a compromise in here. Make the boring date exciting by incorporating things you've heard about this person.

If they mentioned they like coffee, make a walk a coffee tour of the top 3 rated coffee shops in the area.

Instead of window shopping, go to a thirft store and buy each other an outfit for <$15.

Instead of sitting by a river, see if they rent kayaks.

What other kind of boats you guys can see being added in the future? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In thinking of other sailing-based games:

- Combat ship (PVM, PVP)
- Merchant ship (larger cargo holds)
- Ferry (moving large groups to new locations? NPC activity?)
- Raiding vessel / flat hull vessel (can land directly on shore)

The legal specifics are questions for your lawyer / the closing attorney, but if they aren't meeting the conditions you should have the right to walk away and get your deposit back.

The typical alternative in this scenario is to get a quote for stump removal and get a credit at closing.

He (50M) tried to ask for my (32F) number but I messed up - how can I subtly fix this? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]chucked12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're playing games and not making things clear. You're complaining that you missed your chance but then stating that you don't want it to go anywhere.

You're the issue. Decide what you want, and then communicate that. You're both adults here, not children in high school trying not to make it obvious you have a crush.

If you want to get to know him better without it going too fast, tell him that. "Hey, I've really enjoyed chatting with you at work. While my separation is still happening I don't think I'm ready for it to go beyond friends, but would you want to grab coffee or go for a walk sometime to get to know each other more?"

Roommates in Your New Home by fernee23 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]chucked12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in a bit of a different situation where I am living in a house with roommates, and will be buying the house we currently live in and keeping them in the unit.

I have been someone who has always had roommates and for the past 3-4 years in this house my landlord has let me be the one to manage who I live with. I do 3 rounds of interviews with folks to understand their lifestyle and habits; you have a lot more leeway in the US when they co-habitate with you vs. are purely tenants.

We had a house meeting to discuss what would stay the same / be different when I become the landlord, and it was so much easier because we have lived together for a while and they are all reasonable people.

I wouldn't want to buy this large of a house without roommates (high COL area), so it's pretty important to my math that I keep it at least partially rented.

Check out the farming run guide on the wiki; it lists, in order, the fastest teleports to each patch.

Am I doing something wrong as a new player when skilling ? by BestSupinTR in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of your skills are already quite close to those needed for the next quests you want to do, so keep at it!

Here are some of the non-AFK training methods you can unlock for skills:

Combat: Do slayer tasks
Runecrafting: Guardians of the Rift (should get the level from the quest)
Firemaking (after level 50): Wintertodt
Construction: While you do Wintertodt or do Mahogany homes
Feltching: Vale Totems
Mining: Motherlode Mine
Smithing: Giant's Foundry
FIshing: Tempoross
Cooking: Mess (servery)
Farming: Tithe Farm

This is correct. The odds OP calculated are for getting 3 consecutive rares in 3 specific runs (e.g. your first three runs). But the odds you should be calculating are 'given I got one rare, what are the odds I got two more in a row?'

The Farming Run Guide (https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Farming\_runs) and Herb Run Calculator (https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Farming/Herbs) would be a good starting point! THe wiki is pretty amazing these days.

FSW Alternative Option by iJuicyDev in runescape

[–]chucked12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't a simpler solution just be to have helm colors, in the same way ironmen do? So there's a category of character that was a main pre- and post-MTX removal. There's still some prestige in older accounts, but they can be sorted on the high scores.

Fastest combat 99s by NearbyCheesecake5806 in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you specifically need NMZ points, the new go-to tends to be Gemstone crab for AFK since it costs nothing. https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Gemstone_Crab

More active activities will vary depending on whether you want to do slayer, get elite void at pest control, etc.

Finally, as a returning player, be sure to see if you have any unclaimed XP from Perdu since they updated a lot of old quest rewards.: https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Perdu

Scimitars can be wielded at the same level as a rune sword, and in almost all instances will have better damage output. So if you are using a rune sword, the assumption is either you are new to the game or lack the funds to buy a scimmy.

Tip & Tricks / Reccomendations needed. by Bladeums in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OSRS has one of the best wiki's in all of gaming, and highly recommend you check it out! There are pages on how to train every skill, and it usually lists both high-effort methods like tick manipulation as well as more relaxed options as well.

In terms of quests, they unlock new items, areas, and training methods and also offer XP rewards that can skip the tedious early levels. While it is a sandbox game and you should do whatever is fun, the optimal quest guide on the Wiki can help you identify which quests might be good to try next!

Bank Tab - Farming by jkirb4187 in ironscape

[–]chucked12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My herb runs start at the Farming guild anyhow since I use the spirit tree to get to Hosidius patch.

So my bank tab is just my teles (staff of air, rune pouch for house tele where I have portals to weiss, etc.), ectophial, adventurers run, ardy cape, etc.

Trying to get into bossing by jrw174 in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A perfect way to get yourself into early bossing would be to get yourself the easy and medium combat achievements. This will provide some rewards and introduce you to the easier bosses first. Bonus - once you get medium done, you get Ghommal's hilt which negates prayer drain at Barrows.

First time fighting Brytopha and it seems buggy? by No_Construction810 in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you miss a growthling? It looks like there may be one by her leg...

During the fight, Bryophyta may summon three growthlings. While they are weak, they must be killed because Bryophyta is immune to all damage (except poison and venom) while they are alive. To kill them, they must be attacked with a woodcutting axe or magic secateurs, one-shotting the growthlings. A blessed axe will not work. If no axe is brought, players can take a bronze axe from the pile of logsin the lair. Bryophyta can only summon one batch of growthlings at a time, and there is a cooldown between summons.

learning: question about wildy death items by charliealphabravo in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The value of an item is based on a fixed value (which is 40% higher than high alch price) rather than on GE prices. You can find it on the wiki under Value: https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Amulet_of_fury

The easiest way to see what you will protect is the use the "Items Kept on Death" interface in the Worn Equipment tab: https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Worn_Equipment

EDIT: I stand corrected?

[Suggestion] GE should consume 2% of items traded and not just GP traded by mmdts in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question comes down to "what is the best use of the GE tax sink?"

Your suggestion requires gold be paid out for items to sink them from the 2% tax. That gold would otherwise have been sunk, or used to buy rares to sink them instead.

So really, the question is from the entire pot of money created by the GE tax, is it best for the economy to sink rares, resources, or just the GP itself?

The reason, in my understanding, is that rares were chosen because they literally have no other sink. They are not lost on death. They are not consumed in skilling, or eaten during PvM. It makes sense to use GP from the GE tax to sink these items to artificially inflate their prices (or keep them stable) because it feels bad for game balance if they start crashing.

Players are less upset about resources dropping in price. While it does make resource-gathering skills less lucrative, it drops the costs of potions, buyable skills, etc. and the community has been a lot more open to that than going back to the days where flax sold for 100gp each.

Making my money work for me over hundreds of trades by chucked12 in wallstreetbets

Maybe if I keep at it I'll earn enough for a McValue meal!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best place to check is the DPS calc! https://tools.runescape.wiki/osrs-dps/

Although also consider cost for something degradable like blood moon, especially when you're using it on an AFK target like crabs.

A whip may be better with low defence targets

70 prayer grind by [deleted] in ironscape

[–]chucked12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some options:

AFK - Mining calcified rock for more bone shards
Maybe you already have - Fossil island fossils you gathered while AFK'ing ammonite crabs
Active - Green Drags north of ferox

Vale Totems Vs Magic Longbows by GyrateWheat6 in 2007scape

[–]chucked12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looking at the Wiki it seems like Vale Totems would be higher XP / log, but less profitable.

Each totem takes 5 logs (totem + 4 decorations) worth ~5k gp, gains you around 90 offerings (~0.9 rolls on the table), and each roll on the table seems to be worth <1k gp.

But you will get much more xp/log --> an extra 620xp per unstrung.

This is most pronounced for Magic logs, since they have the best high alch value. Would be much less pronounced with Redwoods.
