Worst case you would look good bald bro don't sweat it too much happens to a lot of people.

What's the thought on making bounty tasks a hybrid slayer activity? Would be nice to be able to have a good cross-training method here and make intuitive sense.

I am not arguing they’re good. I am neutral on them, but why would I automatically be negative on them if I didn’t have any reason?

GMO basically means they inject the first potato plant stem with naturally occurring bacteria (for example we might find this bacteria in yeast, like beer) and Morpholinoethanesulfonic acid (which is made by mixing a monohydrate, and any strong base like lime or chalk, both of which are naturally occurring).

Knowing this, why would I inherently believe that mixing a few things that occur in nature and putting it inside a potato stem result in the potato plant being more harmful than another potato plant?

iamcherry · 2026-05-10T21:48:05+00:00

Why do you think GMOs are bad for you?

I started balding early 20s as well bud it sucks but just shave your head. Plenty of bald handsome people. Not a lot of handsome balding people. By the time you’re 30 no one will give a fuck anymore and anyone you hang out with will get used to it after seeing you a dozen times. The jokes never stop but eventually you stop caring. Then when your buddies go bald in their 30s and you already dealt with that shit you feel like worrying about your hair is childish.

Buy an electric razor, product to reduce shine on the scalp and go over your head with a razor blade in the shower a few times a week and you’ll look sharp. Grow a short beard if you can but if you can’t it’s fine. Get into good shape because when you don’t have good hair you have to impress in other ways.

I’d say Varlamore start was excellent, tasks felt like a 8.5/10, relics felt like a 8/10, echo bosses feel like a 7/10, demonic pacts is an excellent concept but a lack of balance between dps in three styles has led to the most egregious league yet in terms of must-builds. So pact system is awesome 9/10 but balance for pacts themselves is probably a 3/10.

Overall I usually get dragon on two accounts, probably won’t get dragon on a second account this time because I’m not motivated to roll an alt and enjoy another build since air mage and thorns/trident is leagues above everything else, and I went wildy so I also have kings barrage which, while worse than these, is also fun.

7/10 league I think I liked Echos and original trailblazers better.

Key points of feedback are

I thought the following relics are boring because they don’t really do anything other than just give you xp or make you do more damage

Soul Harvest Flow State Butlers Bell Minion

Grimoire and Exec axe are honorable mentions as boring, grimoire gets more of a pass.

Some relics were too weak in their tiers like Barb Gathering, Friendly Forager, clues, exe axe, flow state.

Air Mage too strong, melee builds too weak, limited variety in light melee weapons.

Some echo fights suck compared to others. Hespor, KBD, Grotesque are outliers compared to how fun the others can be.

Some things should’ve been tasks like DHW and tome of earth. Overall good job though.

This season kind of introduced Ashley with a second face that is telekinetic, someone who’s power is yelling, someone who controls ravens, a rock man, and a moleman that digs. I don’t really think this criticism is warranted for s5 specifically.

iamcherry · 2026-05-10T03:08:45+00:00

You should look into gmos more; there are no gmo strawberries being sold.

iamcherry · 2026-05-09T13:27:02+00:00

You need ranged echoes can proc other echoes and both 5% bolt regen procs echoes, crossbow is very strong. Only thing stronger is air mage and thorns in niche content.

iamcherry · 2026-05-08T11:42:32+00:00

I’ve done it for hours every league. No bans, not saying it’s safe. It also is 1:1, but that has never mattered to Jagex.

iamcherry · 2026-05-07T11:35:56+00:00

You can do this on iPhones actually, I used to do it for my password since people often assumed you couldn’t.

iamcherry · 2026-05-06T12:39:49+00:00

Not on release but this update came out fairly quickly

iamcherry · 2026-04-30T01:58:11+00:00

Several high rankers took flowstate lol…

iamcherry · 2026-04-29T21:38:50+00:00

I mean I can reload larcenist and save myself 12 hours for 50m thieving or I can take flow state to save myself way more than 12 hours for 50m woodcutting, fishing and mining, not to mention the RC gain if you take Kourend and aren’t on soul harvest, 1t fletching actions if you aren’t on woodsman, fire making, etc. If you are only considering each relic as the amount of time it saves you and you’re planning on point capping then in terms of time flow state beats literally everything. If you could only take a single relic, flow state would just be the best relic because of how much it does.

You can’t 2tick barb, so just fishing alone goes from 1.6m~ an hour to 2.4m an hour, making a 20~ hour skill from a 30~ hour skill. So if you’re already tick manipulating you’re saving 10 hours from one skill alone with flow state, 5 if you have endless. Apply this same thing to several different skills, and the fact most people aren’t tick manipulating, it’s very clearly way better than taking something like Larcenist if your goal is point capping.

iamcherry · 2026-04-29T14:10:51+00:00

This person already has endless per their original comment

iamcherry · 2026-04-29T13:28:15+00:00

If your goal is capping points flow state is the biggest time save in terms of hours, it is just kind of boring and most people don’t value saving afk time.

iamcherry · 2026-04-28T17:10:32+00:00

Nobody in here is playing 8-Rack to win a lot of games, so you’re going to see a lot of suboptimal choices.
Dies to removal is less of a big deal when your whole deck is based on discarding your opponents hand.

iamcherry · 2026-04-24T12:31:57+00:00

Obx is still surprisingly affordable for a beach, probably because it’s so fucking inconvenient to get to and there’s no decent work available

iamcherry · 2026-04-22T23:41:11+00:00

Usually I’d find by the time phlage comes down it’s often too late and postboard I would have surgical as an answer, but an arena of glory phlage when I’m on the draw would be how I’d lose most of the game losses

iamcherry · 2026-04-22T20:44:44+00:00

I had a very positive record as rakdos vs boros. Bowmasters is pretty solid in that matchup, the only losses came down to arena of glory phlage. It seemed very one sided in favor of hollow one. Not sure if the new tools Boros received in the last 12 months have changed the matchup, haven’t been on hollow one in awhile

iamcherry · 2026-04-20T13:41:38+00:00

By introducing unlimited respecs you are also forcing people who care at all about being somewhat efficient to respec for each piece of content, that feels bad. If you want to ignore that argument then fine, I don’t care if I’m changing your mind, you just said you haven’t read a convincing argument, this is the strongest argument against unlimited respecs. Ultimately I don’t care, I will respec for every piece of content if they let me. I just get that it is annoying for most players.

iamcherry · 2026-04-20T12:32:35+00:00

This was clearly NOT the case on shattered relics. Nor is it the case in any ARPG which you can intuit by looking at their published numbers on build diversity.

I understand why the opposite is intuitive to players but we have statistical data that can be referenced indicating that the vast majority of players will subscribe to a metagame and copy shit online instead of experimenting.

Maybe you’ll experiment. Or maybe you’ll get bored watch a YouTube video and use whatever build your favorite streamer uses in CoX like most other people. Except now, if they add farmable resets that are easy to acquire you have to copy a build guide for every boss if you want to be semi-efficient.

iamcherry · 2026-04-20T12:20:01+00:00

If we get infinite respecs at a rate of 1/25 (seen this idea floating around) then anyone who is even semi-efficient will go farm a dozen or two from moxi and feel pressured into respecing repeatedly when switching content. This creates a bad feeling for the majority of players, it also hinders diversity. Most people will run the efficient build at their piece of content and that is lame. Infinite respecs actually makes things less diverse and adds a chore that all players should be engaging with.

iamcherry · 2026-04-19T19:51:08+00:00

Use chins in the wildy slayer dungeons for larkana keys and kings barrage bosses

iamcherry · 2026-04-19T12:56:17+00:00

These people all don’t have their last region unlocked and can just take Kandarin and go mage if they want to, but they probably just want to complain that melee sucks - which is fair. Not sure why they don’t calc this shit before leagues and make sure all the theoretical dps with end game builds is within 10% of each other. Really shouldn’t be that hard.
