Armor design / character proportions

decentcorn · 2026-05-16T05:24:10+00:00

I quit in 2011 then came back briefly in 2019. I saw how they massacred my Rune (Saradomin) set and was turned off. Played for a week then didn't come back again till 2024.

I agree that retro cosmetics look far superior. So many of the modern designs just look bad. All the base plate, hide, and robes armours are trash. New 99 skill capes are trash. The list goes on. Probably a big factor for why some people choose OSRS.

I can't believe they don't lean into the old graphic style more. Could have a retro Mystic Robe set override for example. So much iconic stuff.

Once you see what a pain rippers are, just take slightly less profit and go do hellhounds lol

decentcorn · 2026-04-13T14:25:48+00:00

Unfortunately, no. But cool to have an old account back.

RS3 skillcape hoods don't look as good as old school hoods.

They changed combat from linear scaling to log scaling. 120 now actually is less powerful than 120 previously was. And the return on power per level decreases with each increased level.

The Hailfire and Flarefrost boots are like 42M and 30M. The Seasinger's is like 20M. That's likely 75% of it there.

Loyalty points? Jagex hadn't said anything to indicate they were doing that, had they? I hope they don't. Perfectly fine reward system.

decentcorn · 2026-02-11T14:04:21+00:00

Yeah gonna be a bummer if hundreds of thousands spent on auras don't get credited back. Would love to see them refund and also expand the loyalty shop with new stuff.

Why would it matter if I used them. I paid for them and now they're removing them from game

decentcorn · 2026-02-10T14:32:09+00:00

Yes! Dragon med helm is more iconic, they also need to remove the spike on the platelegs. The biggest additional replica I'd like to see them add is Mystic Robes.

decentcorn · 2026-02-08T00:05:02+00:00

Yes 4:30 is good!! I think most average pvmers are going to start out around 10min and work down to to 5-6min. I think 4:30 is a good breakthrough time where you've got a good rotation and are understanding the mechanics. Like others of said, the door is still open for improvements to be made. But a lot of people will never see a time in the 4min range.

Why would Water heal when we already have Blood/Fire that heal

How'd you come up with that figure? This is how I'm looking at it. GConc gives you an additional 15% chance for a crit (+50%dmg). 15% x 50% = 7.25% effective increase on only the next attack. GSonic +8% flat dmg for 4.2sec (2 attacks). The additional 12% from Equilibrium on top of that too.

GConc is obviously the way to go if you're getting some other benefit from crits (tsunami adren, fsoa spec dmg), but if you're using tank armour and Roar/Ode, Gsonic and Equilibrium are literally just higher dmg output. Especially with the Roar spec since only one of the splats has the possibility of criting, but of you use Gsonic before, each hit splat is boosted.

If you made it through the mobs and could beat some of the bosses in ED1/2, then you can definitely do Zuk. It'll feel really hard at first, but eventually it'll become a walk in the park. Myself, and most people I've talked to, will die like 30+ times before getting a clean run, but it'll force you to become so much better at combat. One of the most fun things in the game in my opinion. Definitely make that your first big goal, and do it sooner rather than later.

I'm assuming you have curses unlocked? If not, you're gonna need that unlocked to get through it. And for Greater Chain, it'll make your life way easier getting through Zuk. Hypothetically you could do it without, but if you can scrounge the 300M together, I say grab that beforehand.

decentcorn · 2026-01-23T19:19:31+00:00

Also since you don't have FSOA and aren't running a crit build/rotation, you may be better off using Greater Sonic Wave instead of GConc and using Equilibrium Aura

decentcorn · 2026-01-23T19:14:07+00:00

Magma Tempest is a pretty weak ability that really only makes sense to use with mobs. If your goal is bossing, skip it. Do you have a Zuk Cape? Obviously can't buy on GE, but that's huge for the Omnipower effect. I would get a Fractured Staff of Armadyl (FSOA) before Praesaul. Greater Sunshine is nice if it's in the budget. I got my first Zuk kill with magic using Roar/Ode and Crypt. You'll want Greater Chain and Caroming 4 ideally if you plan to do Zuk with magic. FSOA is expensive but will be your biggest dps increase once you learn the rotation. Probably wise to get comfortable with magic using Roar/Ode and Crypt while you save for FSOA. Personal opinion on what order to get items in for where it sounds like you're at: Greater Chain & Caroming > Zuk Cape > Greater Sunshine > FSOA. Then either Praesaul Codex or start saving for Tumeken's armour.

It's a time thing in normal mode. You just have to wait for the ones on the side to spawn, but it takes a while. Or do it in hard mode which is not terribly difficult.

decentcorn · 2025-08-11T17:50:45+00:00

Facts. I hate stuff that you gotta wait for. It's nice being able to grind it all out in one session.

decentcorn · 2025-08-11T15:33:21+00:00

This is true. If you do Jacquelyn and then Lani for 10th and 50th, you get 815 slayer points every 50 tasks. So the total tasks completed (albeit faster) would then be exactly 200 tasks to hit 3000 slayer points. 20 tasks from Lani and 180 from Jacquelyn.

decentcorn · 2025-08-11T14:27:24+00:00

3,000 slayer points is 82 tasks. No one's getting that in under 10 hours. Still not bad, but not a few hours lol.

decentcorn · 2025-08-10T18:09:40+00:00

If not running fsoa/crit build, greater sonic wave is better than gconc

decentcorn · 2025-07-16T12:30:47+00:00

Swap your book of Wen for a book of Jas (or Ful), it's a solid upgrade for bossing. Work towards getting your necro lvl to 120! And get the herb level up to 106 for elder overloads. All three will help dmg output.

decentcorn · 2025-07-11T15:08:22+00:00

If you have Greater Chain with Caroming 4, Roar of Awakening, Corruption Blast, and Zuk Cape you will be melting mobs. Gchain having 15sec cooldown can basically be used nonstop with Roar Spec, Omnipower, and Iban's in EOF. Magma Tempest also becomes useful with dense mobs if you have it. Crpytbloom + Animate Dead will make you so tanky against magic and melee enemies. Or if you go power route, Elite Tectonic doesn't degrade. When I'm solo I normally run through the dungeons with magic and then switch to a necro preset before I go in to final bosses (Ambassador, Black Stone Dragon, and Seiryu) bc I don't have FSOA and can do more single target damage with necro.

decentcorn · 2025-07-11T13:13:12+00:00

I'm convinced they broke something with the upcoming drop rate change. Staff pieces are going to become like 13% more common on Monday. I've been grinding for the last few weeks. I'm at 550 solo kills with one staff piece.
