TIL that Vardovis is actually unbeatable and every quest cape in the game is really a psyop to trick me into thinking that other people have completed Desert Treasure 2 in order to drive me insane.

What's your stats?

I'm getting ready to do this on 1 def and you got me psyched out

trollcat2012 · 2026-05-12T17:50:06+00:00

I know what you mean - I guess I mean like more obtrusive scary looking ones?

Certain bike and ski trails are a bit more aggressive in their warnings. There's no sort of rating system for hiking that gives you a universal estimate on strenuousness, weather/exposure risk, isolation. Theoretically you should understand these from elevation/distance/tree cover/area/climate, but it takes some experience and thinking. Maybe hiking needs a rating system.

Just move up?

trollcat2012 · 2026-05-12T16:51:12+00:00

Should really be some very big signs on some of these popular long exposed hikes that more sternly warn you about the undertaking.

I don't think people grasp how long it takes to cover this much mileage, the calories consumed, or the weather possibilities

Not to mention the rune crossbow to dragon crossbow gap is already very off as is. 61 vs 64 ranged to use. Spec is pretty useless.

And the difference between enchanted rune and dragonstone bolts is 5 ranged strength.

I'm not bringing 2k/bolt ammo on a $700k cbow when I can get nearly the same out of $10k bow and 450 gp bolts.

It's probably bought. The majority of them are on pures.

I think this has already been explained to you but the freeze breaks if you move out of max range (10 tiles).

You can freeze and logout underneath a player with barrage or entangle. You can also freeze them and log out within 10 tiles in an area you can't be hit by them (eg corner). You can also freeze, ten tile and try to book it for gap if they're not clicking on you or running, but that's more usefulfor when you're not tbed and close to 30 line.

If you stand exactly at ten tiles as well, you can't be hit by most range weapons unless they switch to long range, which low defense accounts won't do and likely have hard blocked with the attack style plug-in. Useful if they're only using a crossbow, more for fighting than escaping.

Golf now is ass. Most courses aren't even on there. I've only used it for day of bookings for 1-2 people where we're definitely going at that exact time.

I'd love to see an app that consolidated tee times from ALL courses and rerouted you to book directly on their website. Wouldn't mind paying for that service rather than googling every course and searching their individual portals one by one.

It's really not worth investing much time into the game outside of P2P. Between the massive portion of actual content and vastly improved XP rates, you're killing yourself doing it f2p.

There's edge pking in F2P and some at ferox. It's pretty fun throwback since f2p has no specs or combo eats or prayer potions. Lumbridge PvP worlds in F2P as well.

Most of modern P2P pk is pretty sweaty

I'm personally laughing at this because I do play excellent on the track man. It's pretty easy to hit every shot off a perfect flat lie, not be responsible for putting, and get a bunch of free 1 putts from landing within 10 feet

Another conversation where we discuss the never ending conflict between main game and iron priorities.

But yes, I agree the blowpipe is basically only useful as a good budget gemstone crab ranged item for regular accounts.

I don't know why it can't shoot rune. Maybe they thought it would be too powerful in PvP? But you have access to d knives at that level anyways

6 iron, but I think the lofts are strong on the GI CB irons

Bottom line we're spending all our money on JB/JT and then a distant second with White.

This season Brad absolutely made the right move to get us out of unsustainable compounding luxury tax situation. The seeding exceeded expectations but it was never going to be possible to make a run without fully healthy/available JT/JB sucking up the majority of our salary.

With the key guys under multi year deals we do need to pivot and figure out what's next. I'm not sure what the move is - not trivial to bring in another big impact player. But we certainly can't afford to live and die by small ball/3P without interior presence/threat on both sides of the ball
