How's sailing training going my negros
Feels a lot like the 2nd coming of EOC. Completely game breaking skill, killing what little charm OSRS still had.
why is it a skill? its literally a minigame
>>726342847This shit is genuinely awful. It's so clunky. I thought getting a crewmate would make things easier but oh my fucking god this guy is useless as shit, the boat controls even worse with him at the helm, and when I don't use him he's in the way of my own clicks. Also bounty tasks have a 0% drop rate.
sailing is the dungeoneering of osrs
>>726342847Did the people that play OSRS want sailing? I thought I read something about the developers forcing the vote so sailing won even though it wasn't wanted. I think they lowered the success threshold?
>>726342847>The Great Cunt
Why not just add Summoning instead?
>>726342847It's fun, although the XP rates need a buff
>>726345519in what way at all.You're just saying the equivalent of buzzwords.
>>726346990it went through multiple votes and passed each time.anyone else saying otherwise is coping beyond cope.
>>726342847I feel like they should have put more effort into making the new parts of the world more square. Every section of the world map as of 2007 was pretty fucking square, or at least rectangular with terrain set pieces just sticking off of them.It's weird for them to have all these blobby clusters of islands just being stapled on, and it's weird that there's an entire other continent that clearly doesn't follow the same rules.
>be me>expect an adventure>forced to slave for the west indies traiding companybig sigh
>>726351883If you aren't doing charting you have no adventurous spirit and you deserve to be a slave
>>726342847>Exp rates slower than agility>Its literally just shit minigames
>>726353271Adventure isn't the very core of the skills, just a side activity
Daily reminder that people struck down an enchanting skill in favour of this clunky dogshitAnd now reddit is squealing because they got a boat named "white pride"
>>726353836I leveled 5 levels just by doing charting, and I've only got 45/380 spots. Go explore, white man.
>>726342847Delivery missions are the worst part of any game, and thats all the skill is for the first 30 levels.
>>726349272Idiot retard. They rigged it by first lowering the threshold and asking if players wanted a new skill without specifying what. Then after the dumb playerbase voted yes, they gave us a choice between three poorly thought out and uninspired ideas. This could have all been avoided if they didn't listen to reddit so much.
>>726342847I got a few levels and now my high rank HCIM is ready to shit all over scoreboards
>>726349272>>726355005the whole sailing poll was rigged psychologically 100% but the execution of it seems decent enough.I have no idea why they seemed to have sunk like 1930s walt disney animation effort into the salvage hook lowering though
>>726346990>Did the people that play OSRS want sailing?Absolutely not but trannies sadly make up a big margin
>>726349393look at kourend at launch and tell me it isn't better now.
>>726355005>grrr they rigged it by asking if people wanted a new skill first which people voted yes to?>Then they rigged it by having it win a choice of new skills?>then they rigged it with approval polls after initial design propoosals and alphaslmao.You lost faggot. He's president btw.
What's wrong with the people in /osg/, I asked a question earlier and got ignored, and they kept just not replying to each other it's really weird
It's obvious to anyone with a brain they rigged it..And that's fine.Just don't do it if you hate it.>Okay, but (arbitrary claim about how valuable the skill is)Just don't play the game if you HAVE to grind said Skill, but refuse to enjoy it.
>>726345519Dungeoneering is good thoughCG is OSRS dungeoneering anyway
>>726355623This whole continent shouldn't exist IMO. Even the "improved" version feels like private server shit.
>>726356370zeah sucks, but varlamore is really good.
>>726342847Somebody gibs me bond plz
>>726355712You ignored the first part where they lowered the voting requirement, nigger.
>>726356370To put it 1000% cynically, MMOs kind of either need to grow or die and sailing feels a bit half baked and just crudely sutured into the game but theoretically over a long enough time it will get better.
>>726357308I would have rather them reworked existing skills. Hunter rumors were lazy, and firemaking doesn't exist outside wintertodt.
>>726356370I prefer they put most of the new content on the new content continent rather than shoving it all into the old nostalgic zones.
>>726357774I agree and I think a smithing rework would have been critical but giant's foundry kind of some of smithing's biggest flaws
No way they destroyed the page 1 high scores for this shit
the update happened and you can be salty if you want. But the devs that make runescape are human developers and they want to develop the game, that's why they kept the job. If they get an excuse to develop their game then they will absolutely develop their game. Imagine if you worked at game co. for 15 years and you finally got to break a 20 year long turning point and glue your name to it? No wonder they rigged the polls. On principle "old school" should have never gotten a new skill but it's basically the only good mmo out there and that's because the devs gave a shit.
>>726355836it's the same in all of those threads man just the same people circlejerking. They're not even worth participating in.
>>726358141They tried to release the game with no updates originally and it died in 2 months
>>726355836It's a combination of autists who think they are doing 4chan a service by never giving (You)s to anyone and newfags who treat it like a Discord server. Old /vg/ threads are awful about this
roll roll roll your boat randomly for naaames
>>726357971Smithing rework could unfortunately never happen because it would tank the economy. But I think other skills could have been reworked with no issue.
>>726345053No idea, firemaking was a mistake. How do you like sailing though?
>>726345519I loved dungeoneering in RS2 and miss it so this is good news to me.
>>726355623It's not better now. I could absolutely see the Jagex of 2007 adding something like the original version to the game, but I think they'd make the Hosidius quadrant extend less to the south and further to the east, the Shayzien quadrant extend further south, with a tall, narrow inlet of ocean separating them instead of a straight line of terrain, and the mountains at the top would extend down to split the Lovakengi area from the Arceuus area, such that you could get a hint of them from the hub area in the middle. And that dead zone in the top left would be a little volcanic black sand beach in a shallow bay with a unique kind of fish you could catch that you could trade to one guy all the way on the other side of the map for slightly more gold than typical shopkeepers would buy it for.
>>726357774They have to fix smithing, it is 100% useless and I will never come back to OSRS until there is endgame progression that you can do with mining and smithing. Gear at least as good as Barrows should be craftable at this point.
>>726358684>>726358921Reworking skills that date back to RS1 would probably be a terrible idea. People left RS3 because it was such a massive overhaul of core mechanics.They'd rather add entirely new crafting skills. But they're never going to decouple the best tier of gear from specific locations, and they're not going to forsake benefit that tying end game content to easily tunable enemy loot tables provides them. It's a lot harder to flood the economy with the highest end stuff if an account has to go through multiple quest lines and raise multiple skills just to get access. And that gets even harder when getting those things is soft rate-limited by more or less requiring you to use consumable resources in the process.But, let's say they come up with a skill that lets you harvest "Unobtaninum" (Because of course they'd make it a joke about Americans spelling Aluminium differently.)Let's say you need to brew and consume multiple different kinds of potions to survive in the area while you bounce back and forth between the big stupid semi-minigame chain of machines that generate the Unobtaininum. And let's say you had a random chance of the last machine actually spitting out a resource, say 12.5% of Raw Unobtaininum, 12.5% of an ore like Adamant or Mithril, 25% chance of a junk resource you can trade for points that let you buy extra Unobtaininum at a bad exchange rate, and a collective 50% chance at miscellaneous inventory fillers like 2-3 stray gold or cabbages or whatever.Oh, and the machines only recharge once every 90 seconds.That would be a pretty comparable flow chart to grinding for enemy drops, when you get down to it, but everyone would hate it. It would feel tedious, because everything in Runescape, past a certain point, is tedious. Combat just hides it and turns it into a slot machine, and makes it feel like you're doing more than you really are.
>>726360270Basically all the OSRSoids who played RS3 for the first time in decades for that league tried new smithing and loved itBut instead we'd get forestry again if they ever update mining and smithing
>>726345053why is runecrafting a skill, like you'd EVER craft runes when you need them over killing monsters or visiting shops
>>726355623>that first versionwhat the fuck happened?
>>726355836Two or three trannies took over the general (common occurence) and basically spam their retarded autism dismissing any question and acting like the girl squads that used to bully them in school.You're better off going to the other videogame boards to discuss the game, /vg/ has been an containment board for years now.
>>726361929The original OSRS updates were extremely lazy, we got a slayer cave with a bunch of copy pasted mobs and an endless boss mode that was just reusing quest bosses. Kourend was the first actual new content they added
Is there an original 2013 OSRS build out there somewhere? Has the build ever been made public?
>>726356951where can I find sugardaddies to give me free bonds?
>>726361929The Jmod working on it got canned so they half assed it into themepark shit.
>>726360270The skill reworks in RS3 were a good thing tho. Smithing is actually worth doing
>>726362320>half assed it into themepark shit.what, instead of leaving it as "why the fuck would you ever go here" land for years? shut up
>>726362263>reddit post instantly lockedhilarious
>>726361831You're not expected to craft all your own air runes. Runecrafting was added so players can make money crafting the expensive runes in bulk, because they used to be scarce and sold in limited quantities in shops. At least back when the skill was first introduced. That's not as true anymore, but it definitely did used to be.It was absolutely also added for flavor reasons, too. Everyone was asking "Runes are consumable, right? Where do they keep coming from? How do the shopkeepers and enemies that drop them keep getting more?"
>>726347765This. Summoning was an actual useful skill that was way better integrated
>>726362263Kek
>>726362339Smithing is worth doing in OSRS, just for fucked up reasons that have nothing to do with the act of turning metal into things you can use to hit monsters.That's jank as hell and nonsensical, of course, but OSRS is defined by its jank, for better or worse. Besides, if people want to play RS3 they can just go play RS3, the membership is the same anyway.
>>726356370The purpose of Zeah was so the devs had the freedom to add content, without doing major changes to iconic areas of the mainland.
>>726360270Well Andrew, as long as smithing is a shit as it is right now I will never play again. That is a promise.
>>726358110The page 1 high scores are immortalized. https://secure.runescape.com/m=hiscore_oldschool/pre-sailing-overall?page=1
>>726342847I've loved it so far, I did the first 30 levels by charting while delivering packages on the way and was done by the time everything was charted. I can only assume that everyone complaining about the port tasks fucked up and didn't do any charting, which would be like trying to raise agility by jumping over the same shortcut over and over again.
>>726363920ty
>>726342847I just tried it. I like it so far it's comfy. Looking forward to getting a bigger boat.
can someone help me, why are there so many types of early weapons (short sword, long sword, 2h sword, battleaxe, warhammer, spear, halberd, dagger, mace, etc.) when all of them suck and scimitars are usually the best? why do the other ones exist then
>>726342847this is the real map for me
>>726364235Some enemies have weaknesses to certain types of melee damage, so that's why blunt weapons and stabbing weapons exist. Halberds also have a longer attack range so they can safespot some enemies.
>>726364326What's the black stain between Lumbridge and Draynor?
>>726342847Is the Untamed Ocean a PvP zone?
>>726342847>it's an amazon package or food delivery skill>but with a boatReflects the current state of the economy to. I'll be honest, it is comfy so far and the music is relaxing to listen to.
>>726365253>He trains sailing with just port tasksYou're playing it wrong.
>>726342847Seeing all of the familiar land areas is fucking with my head
>>726365621I have gone "what the fuck is that-oh" a lot too. Seeing shit from the sea is surprisingly different
>>726342847I want>Charting objectives to be hidden if completed>Warning if a crate drink will teleport the player>Bank or an npc that unnote items in the shipyard>Paying money to repair your ship at a dock>Pandemonium shipwright stands still
>>726343415That's a bit overly dramatic isn't it? How did it break the game?
>>726343415>killing what little charm OSRS still hadoh my god relax dude
>>726366729When they updated the map a few weeks ago there was some funny bugs like failing agility shortcuts over water sending you to the boat respawn point in Port Sarim
>>726366829hehe
>>726364838that's the dirt path through the forest>>726364235Because Paul and Andrew weren't thinking deeply about balance or whatever but just wanted to add cool stuff to their sandbox fantasy game
>>726355005>Do you want a new skill? Yes/No>Alright pitch us some skill ideas>Ok these are the most popular skills, do you want X Y or Z?>The most of you voted for X? Ok>Do you want skill X?>Playerbase votes yes again>Retards still think it wasn't polled
>>726364235It's a bit better now>Maces are roughly on par with scimitars, but give prayer bonus>Warhammers have no attack requirement, making them funny meme weapons for strength pures>2h swords are good for punish mechanics like Tormented demons, or last hit in pking>Daggers and spears can be poisoned (kinda a shit mechanic but some accounts can use them)>Halberds are two tile, halberds are dead besides noxious halberd and crystal halberd
lvl 1-30 is uber jeets cosplay
>>726367858I have seen so many retards not know how to stop I really can't even blame the fag mods
>>726364235They didn't have a formal philosophy for game design when they added all that shit. They said "This would be cool, right?" and just put it in with eyeballed stats to make sure it wasn't totally broken or totally worthless. Nothing really needed to be tightly balanced because it didn't matter yet. No one gave a shit that a mace was slightly weaker on paper than a scimitar of the same tier, because no one was looking that closely yet.
>>726365621>>726366197Can you see people on land, and can they see you? Or is it one of those things where you end up in an instance all alone?
>>726342847Fucking insane that the community let them gaslight them into this shit. Shamanism and Warding were the two most popular and were neck and neck but sailing won because it attracted the meme crowd....BUT THAT WAS JUST THE FIRST POLL OF TWO PROMISED VOTES. They stated unequivocally that the top two would be voted on out of the three to avoid this exact issue. Then the next day they started acting like sailing won and ignored their statements on voting for the top two. Shamanism would have beaten Sailing handedly but the DEI woke fucks at jagex were dead set on sailing because it's a bigger meme and that's all these twitter addicted fucks care about - memes. Not proper game balance. By the time the new owners purged much of the insanity they had to stick with what they said otherwise it'd look even more ridiculous but shamanism always made 10x more sense. people play OSRS to afk and see number go up whole making money. Not to fucking RAID. The fact we haven't gotten a new gathering skill or adjacent EVER proves these fucks have no clue what attracts players to the game. End game raiding is so far removed from what most people do on RuneScape it's insane. Yet these retards still claim that bots aren't that bad because "without bots many items would run out on the grand exchange". THEY ACTUALLY SAID THAT. Fuck jagex and fuck sailing. It's fucking awful and I haven't even seen one second of its gameplay post release. It's another fucking MINI GAME. dungeoneering rerelease would have been a better choice and I hated dungeoneering.
>cucked out of agood skill because redditors voted for an aprils fools joke
>>726369941>Can you see people on land, and can they see you?Yes, yes
>>726369957>It's fucking awful and I haven't even seen one second of its gameplay post releaseoh, so you have no clue what you're ranting aboutwhy did i read your whole dumbass meltdown then
does the skill impact combat in any meaningful way
getting 80% of barracuda xp while afk is also very comfy
>>726355175>>726355005>>726346990Not sure how people still don't get how it was rigged. Before the first pill they said they would poll the top two choices out of the three after the first vote. Shamanism and Warding were neck and neck and overwhelming the two most popular and sailing was considered a total meme (it was a literal April fools joke in the past). People voted for sailing mostly as a joke and since the other two were neck and neck between like 65% of the community they finished with half of 65% and sailing got the lead at 35%.Shouldn't be an issue right? JAGEX PROMISED A VOTE BETWEEN THE TOP TWO RESULTS. But NOPE, they then proceeded to never do a vote of the top two ever and tried to gaslight the community into claiming they never said that which led to massive protests at Falador. They never went back and never listened to the community so for the last several years at least 30% of the community if not 50% has been complaining about sailing and jagex just calls them "haters". JAGEX LIED, SHAMANISM DIED AND NOW SO TO WILL THEIR BROKEN AND RUINED GAME
>>726370110why should it
>>726370110go back to sucking dicks on reddit
>>726370185>NOW SO TO WILL THEIR BROKEN AND RUINED GAMEcome on now, you really believe that
>>726370106They've been showing gameplay for years dude. You think we haven't known how shit it's going to be. One look at the official subreddit proves how hard it is, as it has been since they rigged the vote initially and as we've seen on every single gameplay video since it's inception. >He honestly thought today was the first time you could see sailing lmao
>>726370284oh no no, i saw a lot of the pre-release stuff about sailing, and it looked like just another skill. adds some quests, adds some islands, adds some monster uniques. looks fine dude, i do not get your seething
>>726370003They voted as a joke because Jagex said multiple times that they would vote between top 2 results out of the three. Then they immediately said sailing was the new skill forever and no further vote would be had between skills. People acting like "sailing passed", to be clear they had to lower the threshold for normal polls to pass after several "preliminary" polls with stuff like "would you vote for sailing" failing to hit the necessary threshold. They shoved this shit down our throats with numerous lies from the beginning and that's why every single video and comment section on sailing is like 40% haters. That's dramatically more than the average comment section hate for a game update. You may have like 10 - 15% haters but with sailing it's been nearly 50% hate on every open forum about it from the beginning, never changing because every clip they show of it makes it look AWFUL
>>726370492The vote threshold changed years before the skill vote happened>They voted as a joke!!!Lmao this is severe cope
>>726370492extreme cope and history revisionism
>>726370364It looks like a fairly shitty mini game when we could have had shamanism which is what the community overwhelmingly wanted and voted for. Sailing was voted for as a literal meme by players who didn't really care what skill won. Do you know how many posts have been made saying "I'm sorry I voted for sailing , I didn't think that would be the only vote and I just thought it was funny". HJNDREDS. 50 - 70% of players wanted anything else besides this dumb fucking mini game that Jagex doesn't have the literal talent to program properly in the first place. All they had to do was make a skill that adds new items and gear and expand elemental weakness and stuff like that. Instead their really shitty programming team decided to go with one of the most complex ideas to implement since RuneScapes inception and it really shows. They're incapable of doing it well. That's the real issue.
>>726370209>>726370238like how many seconds am i shaving off my gauntlet pb
>>726370730the shamanismcuck reveals himself
>>726370730>adds new items and geargod no, the gear bloat in the game is fucking unreal, hundreds of fucking useless weapons and armors
>>726370686>>726370586They said it would have a vote between the top 2. Shamanism was like less than 5% less than sailing and it had a spoiler candidate unlike sailing. If they polled again, it would have been the third skill choice+Shamanism vs Sailing. Shamanism would have won 70% to 30%. This was what people were expecting to happen the whole time and when they reneged the entire subreddit was in flames and protests erupted in Falador. Are you some shills or some shit? This is all the basic understanding of the community. This is why sailing has been so extremely hated the entire time. You clearly weren't around for the voteNo matter how you slice it, not having a vote between the top 2 out of 3 makes no sense and destroyed a ton of trust and credibility the community had in jagex which it has yet to restore
>>726370849There are countless directions they can take gear in RuneScape such as the elemental resistances they've been adding. The community has proposed dozens of amazing new gear ideas, it's not our fault Jagex is so stupid they just keep thinking all they can change is defense/attack stats.
>>726360270>People left RS3 because it was such a massive overhaul of core mechanicsyou are a fucking retard lol. people left RS3 because it's became an endless MTX slop filled game. Nobody cares about reworking old skills.
>>726370924It literally doesn't matter what you say, you are just extremely butthurt your pick lost
>>726370849>god noexactly what happened with sailing dou
>>726371072A very large portion of the community dislikes sailing. This will never change and it tarnished Jagex's reputation forever. Deal with it.
>>726371087>SailingA rapier that's a dragon scimitar equivalent for stab>ShamanismPowercreep cancer "You can make your weapons +1/+2/+3 weapons!"
>>726371132yeah while OSRS playercount continues to skyrocket
>>726369957People wanted sailing because the April Fools' event made it look fun. The other ones didn't have any preexisting frame of reference in game.>>726371034I meant back when RS2 first switched over to RS3. Before OSRS came out. A lot of people hated EOC and left because of it, among other things. I was one of them.
>>726371301honestly not really what killed RS3. EOC today is miles better then previous combat but it just took Jagex a decade post EOC to actually make it good.the problem was that literally everyone who playtested it were telling jagex that EOC was terrible and not to go through with it. But jagex did and they've been bleeding players ever since.
>>726371301If they polled shamanism vs sailing then shamanism would have won in a landslide. This is why they lied and said they would have a vote between the top 2 and didn't. Why are you people acting like they didn't lie and like it's not blatantly obvious that they didn't do a top 2 poll because they knew the result would be Shamanism. Whatever your opinion on the skills that doesn't change the fact Jagex refuses to do what they said they would do because they knew Shamanism would win in a Landslide. If it would have been Sailing over shamanism then why were they afraid to do what they said they would and poll the top 2? You know you can just admit that you're happy Jagex lied. You don't have to lie to yourselves about moral correctness. This is 4chan, no one will ban you for admitting you know Jagex lied but you're happy because you like Sailing. Honesty is fine here.
There was a literal flood of apology posts on the subreddit saying sorry for voting Sailing because "I never thought it would win and they wouldn't poll again!"Sailing literally failed the first poll to implement it. It's been hated from the very beginning outside of those who liked it as a joke
>>726371542>You know you can just admit that you're happy Jagex lied. You don't have to lie to yourselves about moral correctness. This is 4chan, no one will ban you for admitting you know Jagex lied but you're happy because you like Sailing. Honesty is fine here.I voted for Shamanism. I genuinely don't give a shit that sailing passed. I'm not cheering from the streets. The skill is what it is, not much I can do about that except play the game. I like the world expansion that sailing's provided and I'll do it as much as I need to do to do quests and raids and such. I was never gonna max anyways
>>726371542I think the promise of a second poll was on the assumption that all three would be a lot closer and another round would be necessary to figure out what the losing side preferred between the two winners.But then it turned out the community wanted both Sailing and Shamanism, about equally, but Sailing was just a little more popular, so they implemented that first. They're probably not going to hold another poll about it and we'll just get Shamanism at some point in the future.
>>726371738Based and same. Sailing was my second choice but I have been pleasantly surprised. If the game starts to suck hard I'll fuck off but they did okay minus some bugs
>>726371647should have been warding...
having fun brosit literally can't be any worse than hunter
>>726358921>>726358684I'm curious, would you actually be open to RS3 mining/smithing in OSRS?A quick summaryMining:>Rocks no longer deplete - you click a rock and mine it infinitely>While mining you get two bars: Stamina and Progress>Stamina depletes with every swing and replenishes to 100% every time you click a rock and it has three thresholds, 100%, 99%-1% and 0%>100% is basically for the super active fags but it's still an incremental improvement, 99% is the semi afk method where you just click every now and then and 0% is the super afk method>Progress goes up per swing depending on "damage" which is influenced by your mining level, pickaxe, strength level(very incremental increase), "criticals" and there's also glowing rocks that give you 5x progress/exp drop for a single swing if you'd like to be more active.>You get something called an Ore Box which stores 100+ ores of a certain type in your inventory just in case you really want to camp rocks.Smithing:>"Core metals"(Bronze->rune) expanded up to like level 80 defense and the smithing req has been normalized to it, added Orchalium(60), Necronium(70) and Bane?(80)>Ores and bars go into something called a metal bank at the forges meaning you can withdraw and deposit raw material without ever leaving the forge.>Forges split into a furnace for smelting the ores into bars and then a forge to melt the bars into an unfinished item to be smithed at an anvil>Anvils are a slow process where every strike increases the progress and decreases heat, higher heat equals faster progress and that's the only speedup you can get in smithing. It's a super slow but super afk skill.>Also the endgame melee armor(Masterwork) needs 99 smithing, and there are some endgame melee weapons(Masterwork 2h and spears, but the spears also need archaeology) and really drawn out production steps to craft. I think masterwork armor needs an hour per item.
>>726343415Drama queen
>>726347765>Why not just add the skill that killed RS2?
>>726372173It's legit better than hunter. Not as OP as construction either so I think it's fine
Can I make a sailing pure?
>>726363468The only use for summoning is more inventory space which they can add at any time without attaching it to a shitty skill
>>726374224No it requires construction at least
>>726375073Can't you just pay the guys to build it for you if you don't have construction? At least to a certain threshold. Getting 99 with an oak tier boat or something would still be feasible and not the most ridiculous thing i've seen in this game.
>>726370120how the hell is your xp/h that high just doing salvaging? I'm only getting a few thousand xp/h at most
>>726375258Not yet? Actually on 2nd thought you could just do trades between the low level ports but I 'm pretty sure you get a little construction xp after the quest.
WATER AGILITY
The fourth raid should function like TOA but require 95 sailing so bots and shitters cannot benefit from the easy drops.

>>726373072I don't think the mandatory AFK shit is a great idea, but it probably wouldn't be terrible to rate limit the highest-end things you can make by forcing you to let your character "recharge" for that duration. Some people would still AFK and macro, but it opens up the opportunity to work on other skills between crafts, and I'm sure it would be a fun and rewarding process to figure out what's ideal to make, which other skills you should train, and where to do it, to maximize your efficiency.
i havent played runescape in ages is this a good time to jump back in?
>>726342847Something about sailing makes it feel really forced.
I think they need to massively clean up the map.It just looks like garbage, there's way too much clutter in the sea now there's no place to rest your eyesight at.
>>726380181That is natural when the most common counterargument by sailing shills is how terrible the original parts of the game (they supposedly have played for 20 years) are.
>>726343415>killing what little charm OSRS still had.This is where you complain? Not that they have turned every skill into a minigame? Turning every boss into mundane by adding banks to every single one of them?
>>726371647She lost.Get over it.
>>726342847It's fucking retarded. It feels like they had absolutely no direction in mind while they were making it and just slapped a bunch of loose concepts together and ran with it. I don't understand how this is the one that passed the polls. The rates are fucking abysmal too. It's a bad idea that was executed even more poorly.>>726355712>He's president btwSchizo, your opinion means nothing and you should be stripped of your ability to speak.

Do people start new accounts on OSRS?The day they ported my 2005 account over to RS3 I lost all interest in playing. Now I'd like to try OSRS but starting at level 3 sounds just terrible.

>>726346990Yes, the 15 constant top of the leaderboard in any non-pvp event players that I personally know have been wanting a new skill for a decade now and have been looking forward to this update since it was announced, especially so because of the jmod behind it.The only people I know who didn't want it have a single maxed account and almost never play, they essentially just don't want to have to go back to playing and max another skill.
>>726382795Not really
>>726383459No they don't shitter, stop larping. Every maxed player I know thinks this update is stupid. Your 1100 total lvl friends aren't reflective of people who actually play the game.

>>726387496That's an awful lot nicer than what they would do to us anons, if they had the chance.
Weird to see the OS map without black space. As a RS3 player looking in, it seems like Agility and Construction with a Dungeoneering progression; is that correct?
So what does sailing actually bring to the table? Is it just access to new locations?
>let players vote on new skills>have not-Summoning (Taming)>have not-Invention (Shamanism)>have the meme skill (Sailing)>players naturally vote for the meme skill without thinking about itLol

>>726383167I started back when OSRS was new, and in two months my new account was further along than my actual 2005 account. Its insane how much quicker things go when you aren't a dumbass kid running circles around varrock anymore.
It's over
>>726391679Update in 20mins
>>726392137They already "buffed" the rates yesterday, the update is just a coldfix for everybody who had already gotten the lesser xp. People are still complaining about the "buffed" rates, because its still trash.
>>726391927This is so fucking true. Hundreds upon hundreds of hours on my original character and multiple summer vacations spent doing nothing but playing runescape 10 hours a day only resulted in a character that had like 80 combat level, 200k in the bank, and my biggest achievement was getting a zammy godbook. You progress so much when you have access to a wiki and aren't taking weeks to do quests because you aren't using the official time-limited quest hint system that was on the runescape website.

>>726392789It's the best skill/minigame in RS3. It was great before EoC fucked the balancing.
I don't understand, Anon. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT THE THINGS YOU CALL GOOD?!?!What's so great about playing an MMO in single player mode? Isn't it more admirable to be playing with with other people and making friends? It's cooler when you have friends. That's worthy of respect. What's so respectable about self imposed loneliness?And if you "stand alone" why do you use yell chat? Didn't you choose to avoid other players at all costs? It's disrespectful to rely on others when never giving anything back.Why don't you want to trade other players? Are you afraid that your own efforts will not be worth to others what is is in your own head? Why are you so set on getting duplicate drops instead of trading? That's just fruitlessly wasting time for no gain.If someone else does 1 point of damage to a monster, why does that invalidate your drop luck? Why must it be entirely within a vacuum to make an achievement?And why do you NEED an icon to prove your gameplay? You don't NEED an icon to not trade or collect items yourself or never do a quest. Why is it so important to have those pixels?What's so good about your mouse hand aching? "I love the feeling of making loads of barbarian mixes and maple longbow(u)s." Gaming is much better without carpal tunnel.What's so great about Hardcore Ironman? Isn't it just extra suffering? That just makes you an idiot!What's so good about about Ultimate Ironman? You were given use of the bank in addition to your inventory slots and not using them is just wasteful and ignorant. Unless it's some autism about the "globalist banking cartel." Why is it so great to denigrate the global financial system that makes your own comfy first world life possible? Do you think your life just fell out of the sky one day and you happenstanced into a veritable Garden of Eden?
Walking around the map is a huge waste of time but you choose to have to walk all the time, bank your gear, and wear spottier capes and boots of lightness 24/7. Isn't that terrible for not being able to show your gear or be prepared for random events? You don't gain anything from it.Why do you only mention the helmies on the highscore list? Most players on the list with hundreds of KC are not ironmen. Players like Unrealhaze and Nthcobra have made youtube videos of themselves soloing PVM content just like Ironmen, but you only focus on the non-ironmen you don't like? And dying is not some thing exclusive to normal accounts. Do you think Ironmen never die or are inherently less likely to die? That's just ignorant and biased from your own perspective!I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU FEEL SO SUPERIOR ABOUT. YOU CAN'T RELATE TO NORMAL MMO PLAYERS AND IT'S NOT A BENEFIT!
Can you sail anywhere with 1 sailing?I wanna sail around cool places without having to grind shit and just go to comfy islands
>>726393801I wonder if it will come to osrs
>>726394780absolutely no chance of that ever happening, thankfully
>>726394780it would only exist as a map expansion
See, I've done what I refer to as a "cost analysis" of the various RuneScape game modes. And it goes as follows.Main - A main in the modern OSRS climate, is not only a "dogshit" game mode, but where the soul goes to die. You were never meant to buy bonds and skip the game. OSRS is pay to win now. This is your game. UIM - This is actually the only mode I would consider to be worse than a main. It is ultimately a failed concept. Who would ever play RuneScape without a bank? Just because RSC initially launched with what we'll refer to as a "pseudo-bank," it doesn't mean OSRS needed to copy that. UIM is also where the soul goes to die.GIM is just an Iron where you can play with others, so not really an Iron at all because you can trade, so it's basically just a worse main. Make it make sense.Ironman - Ironman is essentially the only good game mode in modern OSRS due to it actually encouraging the individual to play the game. You have a bank too, and you can't use bonds to cheese the progression! It's a shame this is what it has come to. Being forced to play a singleplayer mode in an MMO, but here we are!
>>726342847>OSRS>adds a fuckton of garbage that never existed in 2007
>>726395027A large portion of osrs players probably weren't even born in 2007
>>726342847bloated update.
>>726376310now that you meantion it you are right jagex is probably going to add some sailing req i was planning to stop at 72, hopw its not more
>>726394869Isn't it basically already in with that one Prif minigame?
desu allowed 3rd party clients was the final straw for me. runelite destroyed the little soul this game had remaining.
>>726395102they need to call it something else
>>726342847Last time I played Runescape it was 2D (yes, I am saying this because I do indeed find myself to be better than newfag 3D Runescape enjoyers and need to express it). What the fuck is sailing and how is it any better than just fishing south of Edgeville?
>>726343415>Completely game breaking skill,what exactly does it break?
>>726395264People's minds
>>726395208Yeah well I remember it when it was 1D
>>726395184Just don't use it?
>>726373446>Better kill it with a NEW meme skill that started as a joke and was rejected on numerous polls
>>726376310Bold of you to assume there won't be hordes of 200M bots that only fished or salvaged
>>726395396Yeah but it was called Runepoint back then and nothing worked aside from DoT buids.

Don't mind me. Just playing the MAIN GAME.RS3 chads stay winning.
>>726394989reddit irontranny take
>>726343415I haven't played in years so I don't know what's going on but based on the replies I know you're 110% correct.
>>726394618Yeah, you can actually go a lot of places with only level 1. Your boat will have less HP so you'll get oneshot by high level sharks or krakens, but you can sail around them most of the time. You'll have to sail north and west around Karamja because the way south is blocked by waters that will kill you, but after that you can go all the way to the western continent and the fremennik isles.
>>726394989No bigger self-report than revealing you can't play a main because you'd feel compelled to chet

>>726395175gauntlet is nothing like dungeoneering, its one floor with the same boss every run and you follow the same strategy every timethe only similarity is that the rooms outside of the starting room and boss room are semi-randomized

>>726370185>at least 30% of the community if not 50% has been complaining about sailingSo a minority.
>>726395823I actually like RS3 for its own merits but man every screenshot of the game is butt ugly. The whole game is just ugly, trying to modernize the graphics was a mistake

>>726394618You can't dock, which in itself is an absolutely retarded decision, but you can sail pretty much anywhere. Light and medium blue waters in the op pic are safe.

>>726396636This is why you don't listen to streamers
>>726355836From reading their posts it's just a couple of trannies that play OSRS and all of their simps talking to each other without replying as an inside joke and they all know each other in game through clan chats. It's a similar situation with vscape and other OSRS private servers as well for some reason
>>726355836It's like 5 people and they have this faggot tick where they will reply without quoting, you will see them in these threads sometimes when they catch wind and it's very obvious.

>>726396232its really shit on deck
>>726342847>90% of the map is locked to f2p players>Have to pay a 15€ sub to basically triplicate the grindWhy would someone honestly play this game?
Not osrs but when the fuck did bond prices in rs3 went over the 15 million!?I was just checking rs recently to see what's going on in both and i notice how absolutely ass blasted the rs3 market is.What the fuck happened? Osrs bonds are around 20mill, didn't the bonds work for both osrs and rs3 at the same time because mem was based on the account rather than the character? Or they changed that too?
>>726402015I don't think the game overall at that point was the peak of Runescape, but Dungeoneering was the most fun I've had playing Runescape. I would love for them to bring it back as an end-game activity like Raids rather than as a skill.

And it's JUST SO HAPPENED to coincidence with the EU about to pass new lootbox regulations. 0% substance, 100% theatrics
>>726402407Join their CC if you want a better idea of why they're like that lmao, I doubt the people in that general are even capable of the thought required to do something like that. They're just retarded and mentally ill.

>>726405051>I'm sure as hell not using reddit.It's for the best, I use it to keep up on stuff they don't blogpost but the amount of people crying since Sailing came out is insane.Most of them crying that they missed out on XP like they were ever going to be the first to 99
>>726405051There are more of us then there are of them, we could make the general great again. Seriously it's only a handful of people that ruin the general every time
>>726405530The problem is, I'm sure this is part of the reason, is that I have an actual group of friends I play Runescape with and I'm sure the general naturally sifts towards people who don't have a friend group like that.
Do you fags really hate Sailing that much? It's a bit weird looking and exp is kinda low but I'm having a pretty good time. Maybe it's because I'm a psycho that enjoys Agility
>>726382369I started playing runescape in classic, and I still hop into Lost City (2004 remake) now and thenSailing is funI'd have preferred shamanism because I like weird magic stuff, but I'm ok with sailingI'm happy taming failed because taming was summoning 2.0 and the only merits their team could make for it are "YOU CAN HAVE A GOODEST BOY WOW HAHA LOOK A HECKIN CUTE DOGGO"I'm happy warding failed because warding was crafting 2.0 except the design space for making magic armor is narratively handled by a combination of crafting and runecrafting
>>726405820I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying some aspects of it but I think it should've been a minigame. It feels half assed and lacking in direction and just doesn't mesh well with the rest of the game in its current state imo.I've been hearing about Lost City a lot lately, is it worth trying for someone who never played RSC?
>>726406134>It feels half assed and lacking in direction and just doesn't mesh well with the rest of the game in its current state imo.Do you mind expanding on this?
>>726405820I started during the RS2 beta and I agree.Also, cat game, cat website. Curious, no?
Is manually repairing the boat with repair kits the only way to replenish boat health?Shouldn't there be a way to pay a shipwright to do it? Even if it's expensive I don't care.
>>726355836yeah that no-direct-replying thing they do is the most obnoxious shit ever
>>726405639>exp is kinda lowIt's half of what it was in the beta and clearly lower than what they intended given the Daddy's Special Water was overlooked to give a reasonable award. It's insane that charting is all once-off exp but all tiny amounts that will be worthless when you can actually do the higher level charting.
>>726406289>Do you mind expanding on this?Yeah I do
>>726362263There's like one chud working on OSRS that keeps adding stuff like this then it's removed as soon as someone notices it.Zeah had an Enoch Powell reference when it was first added.
>>726406134>I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying some aspects of it but I think it should've been a minigame.I can see this argument, but at the same time if it was a minigame, this would be the entire thing forever. It being a skill means that it's at least going to get constant support for the rest of the game's life. Even some pretty underwhelming skills have at least gotten some fun/worthwhile stuff for them now but a shit minigame is much less likely to not become a shit minigame.At least they're already buffing xp rates>Lost CityIt is pretty fucking dead. Cool if you want to experience an accurate 2004 version of the game, but the lack of content and knowing that this is all there ever will be means you'll only ever have a more and more dwindling playerbase.I'd give it a go at least. It's free after all. Most of the people I know who did try it gave up on the game after a few days
>>726407572>It being a skill means that it's at least going to get constant support for the rest of the game's lifeTrue, some good content could be added in the futureI'll check it out though, I've always been a little bummed that I missed out on classic

Imagine wearing graceful for the skill where you literally never run ever
>>726358921i think this is the first time ive read about the need for a blacksmithing overhaul here on /v/ and i agree.my noob experience with osrs was mining and smithing because i wanted to have cool armor, but when i found out that you could sell feathers for an absurd price on the market, i gave up mining and blacksmithing, which took much longer, and instead killed chickens, which increased my skills to use armor and weapons, in addition to giving me feathers to sell for a ton of money, in the end i found out the real cool armor wasnt available for non members and i got demotivated
>>726411802Graceful onlies are soulless NPCs. Gotta be out there with dashing nautical attire.
>>726411243Can't hate the ginger, such a great lad
so when is jagex going to pull out of cucked bongistan
After learning this game is literally dictated by redditors, I tried to keep playing, and I keep trying to go back, but there’s always that nagging feeling in my head telling me it’s unironically literally ran by a reddit hivemind. It feels tainted, corrupt, dirty to play.
I saw 'people' claim that only skills which use lots of resources like fletching and herblore should have high experience rates. I guess the planks and bars for sailing don't count.
>>726412484They're just a loud bunch of fags. The protest against pride vs the protest against the removal was hilarious to see. >tons show up to protest the globohomo>barely anyone shows up to protest its removal
>>726412569Its 50 planks and 20 bars every 10 levels. No, they don't count.

>>726412023Unless I need a helmet my character always wears an eyepatch anyway. I've been sailing in my Bandos gear
>>726413748I'm mad that they keep patching shit while I'm at work. First the 10k drop and now this piracy gameplay.
I stopped playing after blackjacking thieving to 99 while recovering from an injury and I kinda want to start again to try sailing but I feel kinda nauseous every time I open the game now.
>>726414573>blackjacking thieving to 99 Goddam that reminds me I'm glad they added stealing valuables in Valamore because Thieving was ass to train. Sailing is fun but I wouldn't get back into the game unless there was other stuff you want to do. I like exploring, quests, and bosses
The Gower bros never intended us to max, that's why I never will
>>726412569They call them buyable skills but there's no rhyme or reason to xp rates and some of them are just abysmal for no reason, sailing is one of them. Apparently you can get 99 agil by 3t fishing faster than you can get 99 sailing but that's from a rando's post and I haven't checked if it's true or not
>>726416370Yeah, I totally believe you can't get 10k sailing xp/hr
>>726414878i think there are a few new sailing quests, one of which gives the griffon boss
>>726343415The only reason I'm playing this game right now is because of sailing and no I've never gotten a 99 skill before.
>>726417168Tourists ruin games like this
>>726417251First played Runescape in 2001, I come back every couple years. Not a tourist.
>>726417294>never gotten a 99 beforeAre you sure?
>>726417343My main I started when OSRS released and my highest skill is 87 fletching
>>726405051Yup. Other wiki game generals do fine IMO, even the ones with all the gay ritual posting aren't as bad.
>>726405639>spoilerIt's basically just water agility right now so that makes sense. Most people, myself included, hate agility and use it as the designated lamp stat. Even runecrafting is better now that GOTR exists.

>pirate questline doesn't give sailing xpThis is very retarded, I guess they don't people to skip levels but this is very stupid
>>726419432They seem particularly stingy with the xp, likely because its the first (and possibly last) new skill we will ever get.
>they will eventually downport deadliest catch to osrsone of my favorite quests in rs3, good
>>726402150I concur.
>>726356370I fucking loved korrend you little shit. Going on to the land for the first time and actually seeing new Kingdom's new factions new people and new monsters genuinely felt like discovering RuneScape for the first time again. It was that sense of mystery and exploration. I loved it
>>726421051I agree, although I generally just like exploring in general. I've still never tried DT2 (I'm ass at bosses) but once I learned what the Stranglewood was I really have a strong urge to do it. Exploring Valamore was fun too
>>726376310There are more bots with high level skills than legit playersBasically no casual players ever reach high skill levels, and most hardcore players bot
>>726376310There are bots with 100m xp in some stats, high skill reqs won't stop them. Neither do diary reqs.
>>726410196It's the chicken and egg problem. Does nobody like her because she's a huge bitch, or is she a huge bitch because nobody likes her?
>>726419775I was actually thinking about this myself, all they have to change is removing Linza's involvement with the quest, they can just either have Thurgo make the harpoon or let you make it yourself.

They should rework old quests like Waterfall Quest to add sailing requirements and xp. Change my mind.
>>726342847Sailing looks pretty good. I haven't played in years. I'll probably get membership and try it this weekend
>>726425383That makes no sense because none of the quests have sailing in them
>>726412484reddit is genuine and legit a tiny minority and I mean it. When pride was removed the "protest" had like 20 people at most and outside of very obvious posts from other faggot subreddits nobody gave a fuck. Not even a single youtuber talked about it

>>726426395i honestly havent done a single port task since like level 12. just been salvaging on my phone at work, and then charting and barracuda trials when i’m jome
>>726425843Except they're so loud about being retarded and so confident in being wrong that they've actually impacted things just by whining about them so much that people change them just to make them shut the fuck up. Not even just in vidya either, the collective power of being an annoying faggot has impacted things in real life that have actual consequences.Jagex takes their word as gospel though and I'm honestly surprised the wildy hasn't been removed again because of it.
any tips for starting osrs?
>>726427896Become an ironman.
>>726427896Don't
>>726427896make an ironman, loosely follow the guide to get to cg. Feel free to do whatever looks interesting.
>>726428045>>726428162Not going to lie this is bad advice for someone who's never played
>Take gnome restaurant minigame>put it on a boat>call it a skill
>>726428404>stick a feather in your hat>call it macaroni
The funniest thing is that sailing is legitimately not quicker than normal teleport. I can only imagine early game benefitting from this aside from teleport to boat spamming which doesn't even make sense because if you can do that, you can teleport everywhere anyway
>>726427896Use the official launcher and account system (ignore the doomsayers that panic when the new account system goes down for a few hours per year) and use RuneLite once that's set up, it's an option in the launcher.I soft recommend creating an Ironman but it's going to be confusing and slow. The drops will feel great. Or just stay normal account and have people feed you gear and items for being new.
>>726428682You could probably abuse that and the storage for very specific things though
Summoning is better
>>726430541i... agreeboth are awful, but I'd rather Summoning over Sailing. Summoning had worthwhile summons, most with a proper effect, and was a money-sink to keep the economy smooth.
>>726428682You can park your boat at Port Tyras and skip the agility grind and coin sink of buying teles for Zulrah.
>>726430541Summoning is legit aids and should not be anywhere near old school. You can play RS3 right now if you want summoning.
>>726427896Get Runelite and try completing the free to play quests, if you liked that go members to unlock the wider world and the rest of the skills.You could go straight to members to do things more efficiently but it can be overwhelming at first with just how open everything is and the F2P.
>>726426718They actually removed forcing you to become a woman to complete that one quest
Is 80 magic good enough for the final boss of SotE? I'm ass at this game and bosses usually take me a few tries
>>726431612Yeah, should be more than enough. You just need to tank and outeat the dmg from the boss
>>726431195No I want to play OSRS
>>726431612I forgot to add, you can just spam blood spells
>>726431612I beat the boss with 70 something, its an easy fight, its just more about dps spamming to make sure she doesn't overheal the damage you do
>>726431612>80 magicForgot the magic brother, do you got sara brews?Full invi of sara brews and restores + blood spells (any tier) is smooth sailing (heh) against Sern.
>>726425383>>726425631It'd make sense for bone voyage, but nothing else.
>>726428256started in 2023, iron is the only account i play. the minute i learned about bonds and that BIS gear can literally be swiped for i made an iron and never looked back. 2150 total before sailing . iron as a new player is the best osrs experience you can get (obvs only if youre an autistic neet of course)
>>726431992You've gotta keep in mind that someone who'd ask /v/ how to start playing a video game probably doesn't have the problem solving skills that'd require someone to play through the game on an iron completely blind though
We should have a OSRS bread more often
>>726432534it's comfy, especially because it doesn't get overrun by fanboy autism like WoW/FFXIV threads
>>726431740>>726431832>>726431882>>726431946Thanks I'll try it with Blood and Saras once I get bored of sailing
You know what the big problem with this skill is? You can’t actually explore the islands until level fucking 40. That’s the selling point, exploring new lands. Why wouldn’t you space out a few shitter islands, even a new player could only access mainland locations before that, completely drains the feeling of exploration
>>726432624The /vg/ threads are also a dumpster fire of autists
>>72643283740 isn't really that big of a barrier to represent the difference between the jump in navigating shallower waters in smaller craft compared to open ocean if you consider it a skill, you gotta get good to go into the unknown.
>>726432624Its a completely different, but worse type of autism
>>726432837I guess it depends where you're going, but I have been able to dock on 1 (uno) fucking island at lvl 49 having explored third of the map basically
instead of being ragebaited can ppl tell me if servers like 2006scape, 2009scape, and darkan are genuinely safe/worth playing?are there any actual good servers? not 2004scape fuck that trash
>>726433339>ragebaitedThey're safe bro
>>726342847Haven't tried it, and I doubt anybody here actually plays both. But is sailing similar to those Hawaiian Islands or whatever they were in RS3? You'd sail to an uncharted island and do activities there, I think. I remember having to leave, because I didn't have the stats for it.
>>726433339Shit just don't reuse a password on there and what is the worst that can happen?
>>726433413...are u baiting or???cause like do you actually get how potentially kino it would be to go back and play the old versions of RS? RS was still good even through 2011. 2012 specifically was the downfall of everything.
>>726431124That's cool in theory except teleport to boat needs 75 sailing and 2 magic stones to build the greater teleport focus
>>726354483Keep doing them until you unlock the speed delivery minigame, it's good xp
f2p in 2008 had rune gauntlets, druidic robes, combat robes, rune berserker shield, runecrafter robes, corrupt dragon equipmentwhy does modern jagex despise f2p so much?
>>726433762Two mil for two magic stones isn't too bad.
>>726435104osrs is an abomination. f2p rs3 still has all of that.rs3 > osrs
Creating hull parts is insane cons xp
>>726367445I went from cudgel to whip to noxious halberd. It feels like going from a tricycle to a sports car. The problem is that there aren't mace, scimy, wh, 2h, daggers and spears equivalents to the halberd. I had different types of tricycles but I'm stuck with a mustang, why can't I get a corvette? A scythe would be a rocket-propelled car.

Sailing is fucking boring and pointless. You are levelling this dogshit just to fight two midlevel slayer monsters. Never forget that.
I'm about to dip into sailing for the first time. I know they had recommended some stuff for the start but how much of it do you really need?
God forbid you wanna afk peacefully
>>726435972>Never forget thatForget what?
>>726436008Various planks, nails, a bit of gp. You can pretty much figure it out as you go along, the intro quest gets you started pretty seamlessly.
>>>/vm/
>>726355623>Charcoal burnersheard they have cheap gfs there
Reminder that PVP piracy was implemented and plebitors immediately complained and got it removed.
>>726436149It was exploiting an overlooked setting. People with "public" as their friends setting had their cargo hold open to anyone. People made bots to world hop and try out close people's boats to steal whatever they would have in they Cargo Box.
>>726435972>You are levelling this dogshit just to fight two midlevel slayer monstersNo, I'm leveling to sell resources. Chopping the new trees makes bank and sick cons exp
>>726389809I fail to see how taming or shamanism would even have their own update that would be full on expansion worthy. Sailing expands the world, as well as involving multiple other skills, adding upon mining, smithing, fishing, cooking, hunter, woodcutting, crafting, thieving, construction, slayer, farming and herblore. Also we got new bosses, new gear, new amazing music by Artur Baryshev, new questlines, a fully working vehicle and it's fully coop friendly. If Jagex had balls they would make a forced coop quest again involving the boats. But they'll cater to fucking losers and whiners like this sorry bunch who soil their 70 days old underwear because the map looks different near bodies of water where they go do their virtual 9 to 5.
>>726437013Not really lol. It's like what maybe a couple mil per hour?
>>726437291Each camphor log is 3k and each large hull part is 200k. I consider that good money for afking trees and turboing hulls in khazard for xp lmao
>>726435317brother I can't even look at the RS3 UI without contracting sudden onset autism
>>726436149Good, forced PvP is shit
>>726435972I'm levelling Sailing to sail more. I want to go on comfy adventures with my crewmates. Simple as.
>>726390116>>726389703Hunter QoLs, one which lets you double catch shit like chinchompas, using a resource from slayer monsters unlocked at 44 sailing. Bandages that heal bleeding, super ranging pot as a brew that also heals you, new food, a furnace that smelts cannonballs twice as fast, an amulet that lets you go underwater without the fishbowl helmet and diving backpack. Hemp seeds sell for more than ranarrs, and I expect multiple items to be stupidly expensive over a short time, take advantage of it if you're a main.

>>726440235Duck charting sucks, mermaid riddles suck, uber deliveries suck if you aren't charting, so majority of the time vs charting is fine, crates are fine, spyglass is meh, first race was decent and plundering is afk. Haven't done it but second race looks bad and sea combat is appartently also bad. So far i'm slightly positive but I could see myself changing that opinion when grind hits. Fuck you for reading my blog. Sage and report.
>>726433339Problem with these servers is because of the small communities they have internal cliques usually compromised of a group of trannies at the core of it and the mod team will play favorites so if you disagree with them at all or don't want to interact with this part of the community you're screwed cause it's an MMO game based around multiplayer trade and quests. And usually the games aren't fully finished and are missing lots of content.
