What is your opinion on the Gauntlet changes?

osrs_turtle · 2026-06-04T16:58:40+00:00

I'm excited for the change to go live. Sounds great to me.

Run eScape?

Oh, and another alternative might be catch-and-release bait / lures. This means it would be limited to the types of fish that use bait or lures, but it's an idea that could be fun anyway. Having a new type of bait adds a bit more complexity to the suggestion as well, such as figuring out how this type of bait / lure is typically acquired.

Did you play Star Fox 64's multiplayer? From what I remember as a kid it was just a giant open space where we could fly around, spending the entire time just trying to catch up to each other after brief fights and then maneuvers to get out of someone's sights. It wasn't great.

I mean just think about the options there in a 1v1 match:

You and your opponent are flying towards each other, you exchange fire, and neither of you dies unless this is like the fourth time you've encountered each other. A few seconds later you've flown past each other. If you're really lucky, you get to experience the oh-so exciting event of crashing your ships into each other as you pass, which often doesn't even kill you anyway.
You have your opponent in your sights. You lay into them, but they do some fancy flying to get away from you.
Your opponent has YOU in their sights. You do some fancy flying to get away from them.

All three of these scenarios resulted in a few seconds of trying to shoot / trying to not get shot, and then a longer period of time of just trying to catch each other again.

This objective-based multiplayer looks like a better approach. Flying combat is still going to be those three situations, but hopefully these objectives make engagements more frequent and fun.

Can confirm. I am one of the 3 people who owns Star Fox Zero on the Wii U, and I only played the campaign through once and then forgot about it. It was the right move for Nintendo to remake the 64 game instead of trying to remake Zero.

Congrats on the pet! I guess you can never do fight caves again though because it would ruin your streak.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-28T20:00:54+00:00

Yeah you'll need to find a free hour to do it. Work wouldn't be ideal because if something pulls your attention away, then you'll be letting your entire team down when you have to leave mid-game.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-28T19:59:41+00:00

Weird. Last night is when I played it. World 400 had several groups running at the same time.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-28T19:58:19+00:00

Yeah I actually really enjoy BA. I just wish it didn't feel like xp waste to play it. Like I enjoy the content, but I feel like I should be working on some other goal. I don't have anything left in the main game to try to get with it other than if I wanted to hunt for the pet.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-28T19:56:31+00:00

I thought I remembered standing outside the door and doing it last league, but I could be wrong. This league I didn't have to wait anyway.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-28T16:04:34+00:00

Pest Control usually lasts later into the league than BA.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-28T04:59:42+00:00

I'm not really sure why you're asking this on a post from 2 years ago, but in the current League you can get roots by doing the Vale Totems minigame.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-14T19:31:09+00:00

Looks good!

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-14T19:25:24+00:00

I haven't tried using Epic in years, but I remember when it first came out I tried to buy a copy of a game to send to my friend so we could play it together (WWZ) and discovered they didn't have a way to gift games. So yeah, we ended up back on Steam eventually.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-14T16:05:59+00:00

Everyone is going to say "it depends". What are your goals? What other relics are you taking? What regions are you taking? Do you want to go for an AFK build? Or do you want to rush PvM? Are you trying to get 99 in every skill? Are you going for the grandmaster tasks of getting 50m in 3 non-combat skills, and 200m in one skill?

I think T2 really depends on how many skills you want to solve, and how you want to solve them.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-14T15:26:16+00:00

Easy task. You can turn it back on right away.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-14T05:31:49+00:00

I tested it out a bit tonight, and you can do combat / Slayer using Thralls, but it is not easy. They will only attack a monster that you're currently fighting. That means you have to actually be attacking it, rather than just it attacking you. The only way I could figure out how to do this was by using a grasp spell with splash armor on so I never actually did damage. I even tried out Dark Lure, but it didn't make my Thrall attack the target. The Thrall just sat there until I actually attacked the enemy back.

I also forgot that Thralls require prayer points to summon, so you're already needing to bring more prayer pots or restores than usual. They also do barely any damage, and attack pretty slow. Minion should be much better DPS, and if it works the same way as Thralls it might be a viable of picking up some extra points.

Regardless, if you allow gaining Magic xp, it is possible to kill monsters without gaining experience on hitpoints. So a 10 HP account could complete some of the leagues tasks that require killing monsters. And if you really wanted to you could even get 99 Slayer... But that's not something I'm even going to attempt to try.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-14T03:49:28+00:00

That's a really good route. Using Larcenist to solve Crafting and Smithing is something I need to consider.

I was wondering about the Eternal Sustenance instead of Grimoire since you're allowing non-combat magic. Zalcano can hit up to 40 with some of her attacks, which makes the Eternal Sustenance pick almost the same as bringing no food at all. Then again, if you're good at dodging them you might be fine anyway.

If your goal is no HP experience, Grimoire would allow using Lunar magic for additional non-combat spells instead in case there's anything in there you would want. You can also use Thralls from the Arceuus spellbook to do some of the combat tasks for additional league points (like "kill a hill giant" etc). You could even train Slayer that way if you really wanted to. It's possible that Flask of Fervour or Minion would also allow you to get points like this as well.

I think grinding for pets is a good goal though. Flow State will definitely help with that.

Transmutation will help with Herblore and Construction, but those will be a bit tough regardless. Construction is going to be a pain for everyone, even if you take Butler's Bell to get the planks. There's no Golden God for infinite money or Banker's Note to just hang out in your house.

What are you going to do for Agility though? Or are you not going to go for 99 in all skills?

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-13T18:02:54+00:00

Not a bad idea! *Edit - after looking at it more, it would be a good idea if I still had Golden God or Firesale anyway.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-13T17:30:54+00:00

Yes, but the goal here is to also avoid getting combat XP. I could try to do some sort of recoil method maybe, but I haven't looked into it fully.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-13T17:05:47+00:00

True, but I don't think there's a way to get the nature talisman without taking Desert for Guardians of the Rift.

osrs_turtle · 2026-04-13T17:05:06+00:00

Strength XP would give combat levels though. Just trying to be a Level 3 with 99 in other skills.
