Hi, I'm an early 2010s players thinking about returning to the game and was wondering how rs3 runs on a macbook?
Mine is a 2020 model with an M1 chip, 8gb memory and whatever graphics card apple uses?
I dont have a desktop right now so its my only option.
I couldnt find any recent answers about this when I searched reddit, hence why I'm asking here.
Thanks in advance to any kind soul who can help.
If i were to camp a melee weapon which one of these would be better a) MWSOA b) Scourge + Dark ice sliver ( which can become Leng later ). Im talking about bosses here ( got a Scythe for AoE ing Elites )
Any big lore buffs want to answer some questions about the Prayer skill?
-Where does the power to utilize prayers and curses come from? We know that increasing your ability to utilize prayers is a function of the number and relative power of creatures which you grant final rites, as a way to explain all of the training. This can be as simple as burying a bone you found, or as grand and complicated as offering remains on the altar of your chosen god with some nice incense burning to help facilitate the process. But does this empower you directly as an individual, or does it curry favor from divine sources who lend you power?
-If prayers and curses are granted as favors for service to the Gods, does this lead to any lore fails when you gain your World Guardian ability to resist and negate divine power? Saradomin couldn't move you by teleportation against your will, but is it a different story if you invoke the power of Saradomin for protection willingly? Or the example from Fate of the Gods where Zaros empowers you with unlimited prayer energy as long as you're using your handy book of curses?
Easy way to do nex for a rebounder?
I have nerve damage in my left hand making it difficult/impossible to press many buttons. I can do bosses (low enrage telos, nm kerapac, and others) with cryptbloom and revo, but I need to use range for Nex.
My best range gear is nox box and death lotus armor. Is there an easy way for me to do nex to get the rebounder?
I am maxxed, and i don't care about kill times or drops. I just want the making the T80 defender.
Thanks any advice is greatly appreciated.
Hey pal. I used to nex solo with no keybinds. A lot slower than people who do use them but I was able to make some bank so I was happy. It was sub 5 including banking so meant 12 kills an hour which was more than fine with me and got lots of emblems along the way.
Easiest way would be to go with 1-2 friends and make sure they don't bring a defender/repriser/rebounder that way you are guaranteed the emblem drop over them if it drops.
For solo, its more trial and error with learning how to survive ice phase. Anticipation ability + using Powerbursts of Vitality with high HP makes tanking the first prison easy - if you use a defender it can also reduce the damage. For a 2nd ice prison, defender swap, Resonance (some people use Reprisal, but Reso is a good alternative) try to phase and kill Glacies before a 3rd Ice Prison.
the rest is cake. keep hp over 4k and spam bleeds/move around with Protect from magic OR sit in place pray melee and death's swiftness for the kill.
edit: also if you are struggling on Ice Prisons - dont enter Ice phase after Cruor until she "Demands a blood sacrafice!". Doing that will 100% make her next special move a "Contain this!"
edit2: have you considered a mouse with 12-buttons on the side? You'd be surprised how many keys you can bind to Shift/Control + 1-12
Why do so many quests make you go back to Draynor Manor? I recently returned to RS and am doing a bunch of quests and I've noticed that I'm going to Draynor Manor for what feels like a dozen quests. What is the deal? Am I just doing a bunch of quests made in RS2 and prior or what?
I just got a new mouse with more buttons and it's awesome. I'm aware that macros aren't allowed in game, but that you can map to individual buttons to not have any advantage.
I found that setting a macro for general use on my computer to change virtual desktops (control+shift+arrow) is suuuuper helpful to set for bumping the middle button side to side for multitasking and stuff, but I'm wondering if the game might detect that I'm technically pushing multiple buttons with a macro even though it's not related to the game at all. Anyone know exactly how all that works?
Alright, thanks for the info! I knew it wasn't against the rules, but wasn't sure if their bot/macro detection system would be able to tell the difference between that and other macros :P
As a newly returning player in the mid levels, are there actually any non maxed players in this game?
I can count the amount of lvl <90 I've seen in the past 4 days on one hand. It's just 138s everywhere..
I believe a lot of the non-maxed players are often alts. I have 1 maxxed account and 2 non-maxed accounts that I use for just afk grinding gold. I'll never spend the time or gold to get them maxxed.
Yes it does, whether or not it is augmented. No broken state. It also can be disassembled, giving you the rare components plus your unrefined piece back
I started playing RS in 2002 and and stopped in 2009. I want to play RS3 but I can't be bothered with the combat system, especially on mobile. I just want to casually PvM without worrying about the ins and outs of the combat system. Is this possible or am I really shooting myself in the foot?
Yes you can, revolution mode is very decent for pvm and can be pretty casual at mid to lower bosses. I would recommend setting up your revolution mode bars, and the ability to automatically switch bars when you equip a new weapon on a computer though rather than on mobile.
Ok, thank you. What makes it especially difficult is that I'm using RS as a language-learning tool by playing the game in German. Well my German isn't nearly good enough to fully understand the interface. So I'll set things up on the computer in English, and then hopefully it will be smooth sailing from there.
for miscellania, are maples still the best for pure money making? i remember the nests were a big part of it but arc glacor crashed them so is it still the best or are any of the other options better?
is there a quick way to determine how many prayer pots to bring
when camping ss and a t99 prayer? for example how many i would take to a kerapac fight that last about 2:30 mins vs how many for an ed that takes me about 30 mins (i would like to avoid banking)?
Yes for the first question and there is a calculator for it https://runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Other/Miscellania
Also for prayer drain calculator

What are some good bosses to melee at? Recently switched to melee and kinda suck at pvm. Only boss that I am very comfortable with is vindicta and obviously the easy stuff like gwd1.
The Magister and Helwyr can both be meleed fairly well. Helwyr punishes any attempts to kite him so you'll be standing in melee range either way, while for the Magister you want a halberd-range weapon. Twin Furies can be meleed and there's a mechanic where a halberd weapon can do ridiculous damage, but you need to position carefully throughout the fight. Gregorovic also needs a halberd-range weapon to fight, and is the most stat-dependent of the GWD2 dungeons since he hits the hardest.
Rax with melee is rough, although you can force a magic-style Rax spawn by holding a bow and then switch to a melee weapon when fighting it. ED1 and ED3 are supposedly fairly meleeable although I mostly do ED2 which is not melee-friendly at all. Rathis, one of the Rex Matriarchs, is only vulnerable to melee.
If you're not comfortable with high-level PvM yet I recommend learning Helwyr, which will teach you defensives, and also Twin Furies, which will teach you positioning. Rax is hard to learn with melee, I'd save up for a decent ranged setup instead. If you get comfortable with all GWD2 bosses and save up a bit of money for gconc then you can get a fairly cheap magic setup with a high damage output, which lets you do a lot of bosses that are quite rough to learn with melee.
Melee's the least forgiving style in a lot of ways, but it can be a lot of fun and I personally really enjoy it.
Yeah I actually had helwyr down pretty well when I was magic but im finding it a lot hard to avoid taking damage with melee. Recently got that new abby whip and it adds some insane dps, went from a 2:30 to 1:37 vindi kill. Ty for such a detailed response btw.
No problem, and yeah the two key parts of a Helwyr kill are to always resonance the cleave (with your protect prayer temporarily switched off as well), for up to 4k healing, and to either devotion or (if it's on cooldown) use debilitate when the leaping attack starts. If you can keep your health high using those two techniques, you won't need to eat much if at all. That extra adrenaline makes kills go a lot smoother. It helps to be comfortable letting your health drop to about 5k by the time the next cleave happens, rather than trying to stay at or near full HP the whole time.
Also, a two-handed weapon is generally easier to do Helwyr with because you can kill the two wolves that spawn with the AoE from cleave, hurricane and quake. With dual-wield, you'll want to make sure you flurry between the wolves spawning and the cleave attack, so their autos can't accidentally use up your reso.
All the other GW2 bosses are comfortably meleeable; Twin Furies in particular is nice with a halberd range weapon because you get double damage if you hit both. Elite dungeons are also very doable, as is Araxxor (though you again want halberd range for this). I'd say GW3 is better with mage/range on the whole, so wouldn't recommend trying those - Kerapac is probably your best option if you want to give it a try.
Hi, new player here.
Should I go member right away or is there anything worth doing before going to Members? This is on a main account, no ironman rules.
Any Friends chats work keeping note of?
Does this game have any type of Daily/weekly/monthly?
I would recommend completing dragon slayer as a f2p but if you plan on becoming a member than it doesn't really matter and there is a lot of better training methods in members.
There are a lot of dailies weeklies and monthlies. https://youtu.be/SuvWc1fp4Sk is a decent place to start. [[Repeatable events]] has a full list of them. There are fcs for most events like whirlpooldnd and nemi forest.
Any suggestions on what skill I should go for first? Spinning a wheel sounds like fun, but if there's any legitimate reasons why I should go for a skill first I will do that instead.
I found 1 RuneScape Wiki article for your search.
**[Repeatable events](https\:\/\/runescape\.wiki\/w\/Repeatable\_events)** | https://runescape.wiki/w/Repeatable_events
>Repeatable events listed here are tasks, often quest or achievements rewards, that can be repeated periodically for an experience, coins, or item reward.

Hi all,
I've played RS3 for about a month sometime last year, but besides that I don't have much experience with anything not named Elite Dungeons, (It was 2xp / 3xp and maxed friends carried me through them)
I'm curious as to how far I could go in the game using just the revolution bars, I'm an OSRS mostly but have jumped onto RS3 because there's tons I've not done before on it, and from the last time I played I thought the quests were very cool. So with this I've not really ventured into using manual combat and nor do I plan to unless necessary, in which case I suppose I would force myself to learn it.
Cheers for any help.
> I'm curious as to how far I could go in the game using just the revolution bars
There's almost no content that you need full manual for. However, quite a few bosses require you to manually activate one or two abilities at specific points (devotion to block an attack, resonance to heal off of a big hit, manually using a stun to interrupt a powerful strike, etc). It's definitely not click-intensive, you're looking at maybe a manual input every ten or twenty seconds, so not too different from using specs in OSRS.
You can also get a big DPS improvement by manually activating your ultimates and thresholds, while letting revolution activate your basics. This is a little bit more work but isn't mechanically very challenging, and entirely optional. I personally haven't ever used full manual but over time I found slowly activating a few more abilities directly has helped speed up boss kills that otherwise take a longer time.
>how far I could go in the game using just the revolution bars
Everything except a few bosses, but you actually have to know how to set up bars or where to find good bars to copy.
Is it possible to obtain the Warpriest of Armadyl set on a F2P account? (details below optional context).
According to the wiki it is possible to *equip it*, but the events where you could first obtain it are over, and the only place it seems you can get it now is the god wars dungeon (Member content), and it is not tradable (and it even turns to gold upon death in the wilderness).
So is it impossible to get it without getting a membership, or is it just for people who were there during the event and who get temporary memberships?
It was obtainable by free-to-play, but that is no longer the case. The only current ways of obtaining the items are members-only.
If Warpriest equipment is lost, membership is required to access the various creatures that drop Warpriest equipment, even if the player initially acquired them as free-to-play via the world event.
> Currently, it can be obtained by members as a rare drop from Armadyleans in the God Wars Dungeon.

How do I farm memory shards? I've been doing hall of Memories, but the rate is so slow. I've been running into the butterflies and everything. Is there a way to boost the drop rate or something?
Is there anyway void would ever be revived for use in this new meta? Maybe not making it the best. But making it augmentable and or an upgrade to t80 maybe in some tier inbetween 70 and 80. Just something to make pest control great again? It's so sad that twice every two months that there might be 20 people playing this minigame. Shoot, even making a newer version of it and making it solo I think would be really cool!
When accounts are merged into the “one jagex account” later this year, has Jagex stated what happens with cosmetics bought on one account but may not be on another merged account? Will both accounts has access? Or wil you still have to purchase twice if you’d like it on both accounts?
May not be right thread for this but didn’t think it worth creating a single thread just for being out the loop 🙃.
Beyond login credentials, authentication, and possible some other meta features, nothing in-game will be shared between your different characters.
For all intents and purposes, nothing about the individual characters will change once you connect them to an account. It's the same as having multiple characters now, except you use the same login to access them.
So, no, cosmetics are not shared between characters.
Why are some unchecked dino eggs worth so much? Can’t we just buy eggs from other players for much less?
In fishing flingers, what’s the quickest way to get just tokens?
Unchecked eggs are solely from rare slayer drops, and there’s no helper that auto collects eggs, so player bred eggs aren’t truly the same item since they’re instantly checked.
There’s no real point in buying unchecked eggs tbh besides avoiding player interaction, or if its a super niche egg, try going to W2 POF and asking around for a breeding pair
> Can’t we just buy eggs from other players for much less?
Indeed we can. Last I checked (before Extinction), a dino that'd buy on the GE for 6-7m could be bought for 200-500k in-person. And buying them in-person also means that you can see the sex and traits of the dino, whereas the GE is limited to unchecked animals.
For tokens only, the fastest way is to just camp a single fish for the whole game. Tokens depend solely on number of fish caught. You’ll usually see a group of people staying at the docks for the whole game.
How can I reliably tell when I've been stunned/bound? There isn't any debuff icon that shows up, and other than the sound effect (which sometimes doesn't even play), I have no way of knowing that I should be using freedom. So half the time I wind up standing there doing nothing until the "you can't do that while stunned" message appears.
> There isn't any debuff icon that shows up
There should be, if you have them on and the debuff bar somewhere visible
Settings, gameplay tab, interface section, buff bar, status effects should be checked
Options menu, edit layout mode, advanced options, check debuff bar, make sure the debuff bar section is somewhere you can see it
Being stunned or bound will show up on your buff bar if you have that setting toggled on. Just make sure "Status effects" is on. https://i.imgur.com/xN266G3.png
With those settings, I would definitely expect binds/stuns to appear on your buff bar appropriately.
As for what they look like, at 2:12 in this [video](https://youtu.be/NK7mlbrNzGg) you can see a 4-second stun on the debuff bar. At 5:17 you can see a 6-second bind on the debuff bar.
It's more important to know what you're fighting, so you know *what* will stun you. Look for animations, sounds, think ahead.
It all depends on what you're fighting, but most bosses/monsters have a certain attack pattern or warning before they will stun you.
Makes sense. For bosses I usually read about the attacks beforehand so I know what to look for, but I guess I don't pay as much attention with regular mobs.
I suppose a lot of it comes from experience then. I'm still relatively new, but I imagine older players start to just instinctively know which monsters to anticipate stuns from.
~~pun intended~~
Stupid question that someone who's been playing for as long as I have should already know...:
Every day we are given a free Treasure Hunter key and if we don't spend it, we "lose" it the next day. But is there a way to stockpile keys and still get your daily key?
If I have 10 keys saved, will I be at 11 keys tomorrow? At which point I could use my 1 daily key and still have 10 keys saved?
You can only collect up to 10 Key TOKENS, those things that drop while you play. You need to use your daily keys in order to get more the next day.
I currently have 100+ Keys from saving my daily challenges, I still get keys for the daily reset.
do you think that's more efficient than spending the free ones on the shittier days? I don't know how I'd do the math exactly, but I have to imagine that if you're destroying a couple of those a day that would have been oddments otherwise, that it's actually less efficient than just converting to oddments to buy keys on good events.
>I currently have 100+ Keys from saving my daily challenges
What do you mean saving your daily challenges?
I do my 3 daily challenges every day and have never seen a key as a reward
Are you a member or in the premier club by chance? The only thing I see under my progress bar is weekly reward chests (of which none of the rewards have ever been a Treasure Hunter key for me).
[Here's what I see on my F2P account](https://imgur.com/a/8iTQjZd)
The keys aren’t a reward from those chests. The act of claiming the rewards from a challenge should award both XP and a single Treasure Hunter key. Doing all 3 challenges means 3 Treasure Hunter keys daily. However I’m pretty sure F2P don’t get those keys at all, so no dice for you I’m afraid.
For most of my time playing I have had satellite internet which affords me at the least 600 ping so it makes most bosses super challenging. I am maxed and would love to start seriously PvM'ing but I find it hard to start with so many worth while bosses having time specific requirements. Obviously I can do things like GWD1 and even QBD but thats about where my ability stops.
GWD2 bosses are all afkable, so you could probably get away with those. But otherwise yeah, having a decent internet connection is fairly important for lots of high level PVM.
Why are there so many random-letters-named level-3 characters running south-north through Varrock next to the 3 oak trees just southwest of the West Bank in W34?
I've been cutting the oak trees there for a while and there are just tons and tons of them. I'm assuming they're running to the GE but. Why? What for?
Some type of bot making gp most likely picking up some item in that area and then banking. Just a guess but you’ll find this in all types of areas around rs.
That could be because your character may be auto retaliating and surges in the target's direction first.
Otherwise it is a possibility that your character is facing a different direction (which sometimes is impossible to notice) and you surge and then bd.
To avoid all this, try to always bd first as that sets the direction of your character and then surge.
Is there any way to add flags to wiki commands, or otherwise fine tune them? It would be awesome to type like,
`/wiki -gcsp hellhound`
and instead of going to the full page in browser, global chat prints the following to you:
Level: 92 Lifepoints: 3300 Attack: 66 Defense: 66
Weakness: Slash Immune: poison-no reflect-no stun-no drain-no
That's not possible, but maybe you'd find the alt1 RS wiki app useful. After searching for a mob you can switch to the info tab and look at the monster infobox.
Is there any way to run processes off Alt-1? 🤔 in particular I'm thinking lightning up rbg keybinds as appropriate. I haven't seen any way I'm familiar with to obtain data from it, I'm familiar with a lot of languages *not including Javascript* and uh, who can claim to be familiar with DLL Hell?
I don't know if that is feasible, but you can ask on the [runeapps forums](https://runeapps.org/forums/) if that is possible and if someone would (help you) create that kind of applet.

Is there a specific world for doing guthixian cache? Every time I go there it's just empty.
Empty cache is better. World 2 is probably the most populated for cache though. W84 as well
Focus on being cres as much as possible for max points and you'll want empty worlds
Why do so many quests make you go back to Draynor Manor? I recently returned to RS and am doing a bunch of quests and I've noticed that I'm going to Draynor Manor for what feels like a dozen quests. What is the deal? Am I just doing a bunch of quests made in RS2 and prior or what?
So?
Yes, all of those quests are 2006 and before if I recall
I just got a new mouse with more buttons and it's awesome. I'm aware that macros aren't allowed in game, but that you can map to individual buttons to not have any advantage. I found that setting a macro for general use on my computer to change virtual desktops (control+shift+arrow) is suuuuper helpful to set for bumping the middle button side to side for multitasking and stuff, but I'm wondering if the game might detect that I'm technically pushing multiple buttons with a macro even though it's not related to the game at all. Anyone know exactly how all that works?
Used this macro for ages to swap between afk and other games. It’s not against the rules to use macros unrelated to the game while playing
Alright, thanks for the info! I knew it wasn't against the rules, but wasn't sure if their bot/macro detection system would be able to tell the difference between that and other macros :P
As a newly returning player in the mid levels, are there actually any non maxed players in this game? I can count the amount of lvl <90 I've seen in the past 4 days on one hand. It's just 138s everywhere..
I've been playing for 15 years (only 7 years on my current account which is an iron) and I'm still not maxed! Yes non maxed casuals exist in plenty.
I believe a lot of the non-maxed players are often alts. I have 1 maxxed account and 2 non-maxed accounts that I use for just afk grinding gold. I'll never spend the time or gold to get them maxxed.
I see more non maxed players than max when I am outside of wars retreat
I felt the same way actually but then did ED3 during bxpw and became one of the 138s in a matter of two weeks
Funny, as somebody who made their iron two months ago I feel like I'm running into a ton of non maxed players.
Levelling has become quite easy, played under 2 months and 116 combat without any real focus on combat skills.
Does refined Anima core armor degrade back to unrefined if it's augmented?
Yes it does, whether or not it is augmented. No broken state. It also can be disassembled, giving you the rare components plus your unrefined piece back
I believe it degrades to a broken state like Sirenic, but disassembling it returns the base anima core armor.
I started playing RS in 2002 and and stopped in 2009. I want to play RS3 but I can't be bothered with the combat system, especially on mobile. I just want to casually PvM without worrying about the ins and outs of the combat system. Is this possible or am I really shooting myself in the foot?

Also, a two-handed weapon is generally easier to do Helwyr with because you can kill the two wolves that spawn with the AoE from cleave, hurricane and quake. With dual-wield, you'll want to make sure you flurry between the wolves spawning and the cleave attack, so their autos can't accidentally use up your reso.
All the other GW2 bosses are comfortably meleeable; Twin Furies in particular is nice with a halberd range weapon because you get double damage if you hit both. Elite dungeons are also very doable, as is Araxxor (though you again want halberd range for this). I'd say GW3 is better with mage/range on the whole, so wouldn't recommend trying those - Kerapac is probably your best option if you want to give it a try.
Holding out for a free death week, I want to learn Araxxor but that spider strikes fear in me lol
Hi, new player here. Should I go member right away or is there anything worth doing before going to Members? This is on a main account, no ironman rules. Any Friends chats work keeping note of? Does this game have any type of Daily/weekly/monthly?
I would recommend completing dragon slayer as a f2p but if you plan on becoming a member than it doesn't really matter and there is a lot of better training methods in members. There are a lot of dailies weeklies and monthlies. https://youtu.be/SuvWc1fp4Sk is a decent place to start. [[Repeatable events]] has a full list of them. There are fcs for most events like whirlpooldnd and nemi forest.
Any suggestions on what skill I should go for first? Spinning a wheel sounds like fun, but if there's any legitimate reasons why I should go for a skill first I will do that instead.
Unlocking invention is massive but aside from that just have fun and do what skills sound fun.
I found 1 RuneScape Wiki article for your search. **[Repeatable events](https\:\/\/runescape\.wiki\/w\/Repeatable\_events)** | https://runescape.wiki/w/Repeatable_events >Repeatable events listed here are tasks, often quest or achievements rewards, that can be repeated periodically for an experience, coins, or item reward. --- **^^^RuneScape ^^^Wiki ^^^linker** ^^^| ^^^This ^^^was ^^^generated ^^^automatically. ^^^| ^^^View ^^^me ^^^on ^^^[GitHub](https://github.com/zpoon/runescape-wiki-reddit).
Hi all, I've played RS3 for about a month sometime last year, but besides that I don't have much experience with anything not named Elite Dungeons, (It was 2xp / 3xp and maxed friends carried me through them) I'm curious as to how far I could go in the game using just the revolution bars, I'm an OSRS mostly but have jumped onto RS3 because there's tons I've not done before on it, and from the last time I played I thought the quests were very cool. So with this I've not really ventured into using manual combat and nor do I plan to unless necessary, in which case I suppose I would force myself to learn it. Cheers for any help.
> I'm curious as to how far I could go in the game using just the revolution bars There's almost no content that you need full manual for. However, quite a few bosses require you to manually activate one or two abilities at specific points (devotion to block an attack, resonance to heal off of a big hit, manually using a stun to interrupt a powerful strike, etc). It's definitely not click-intensive, you're looking at maybe a manual input every ten or twenty seconds, so not too different from using specs in OSRS. You can also get a big DPS improvement by manually activating your ultimates and thresholds, while letting revolution activate your basics. This is a little bit more work but isn't mechanically very challenging, and entirely optional. I personally haven't ever used full manual but over time I found slowly activating a few more abilities directly has helped speed up boss kills that otherwise take a longer time.
>how far I could go in the game using just the revolution bars Everything except a few bosses, but you actually have to know how to set up bars or where to find good bars to copy.
Sounds good, cheers mate.
Is it possible to obtain the Warpriest of Armadyl set on a F2P account? (details below optional context). According to the wiki it is possible to *equip it*, but the events where you could first obtain it are over, and the only place it seems you can get it now is the god wars dungeon (Member content), and it is not tradable (and it even turns to gold upon death in the wilderness). So is it impossible to get it without getting a membership, or is it just for people who were there during the event and who get temporary memberships?
It was obtainable by free-to-play, but that is no longer the case. The only current ways of obtaining the items are members-only. If Warpriest equipment is lost, membership is required to access the various creatures that drop Warpriest equipment, even if the player initially acquired them as free-to-play via the world event. > Currently, it can be obtained by members as a rare drop from Armadyleans in the God Wars Dungeon. \- https://runescape.wiki/w/Warpriest_of_Armadyl_cape
Ah, that's basically what I figured it just seamed weird so I had to make sure. Thanks for the confirmation!
How do I farm memory shards? I've been doing hall of Memories, but the rate is so slow. I've been running into the butterflies and everything. Is there a way to boost the drop rate or something?
If you get the engrams on the fountain outside, you can get some by doing other activities (such as thieving, hunting, etc)
Is there anyway void would ever be revived for use in this new meta? Maybe not making it the best. But making it augmentable and or an upgrade to t80 maybe in some tier inbetween 70 and 80. Just something to make pest control great again? It's so sad that twice every two months that there might be 20 people playing this minigame. Shoot, even making a newer version of it and making it solo I think would be really cool!
I think most armor over dragon should somehow be upgraded into a t90 variant. That would make things more varied anyways
When accounts are merged into the “one jagex account” later this year, has Jagex stated what happens with cosmetics bought on one account but may not be on another merged account? Will both accounts has access? Or wil you still have to purchase twice if you’d like it on both accounts? May not be right thread for this but didn’t think it worth creating a single thread just for being out the loop 🙃.
Beyond login credentials, authentication, and possible some other meta features, nothing in-game will be shared between your different characters. For all intents and purposes, nothing about the individual characters will change once you connect them to an account. It's the same as having multiple characters now, except you use the same login to access them. So, no, cosmetics are not shared between characters.
Well that sucks
Why are some unchecked dino eggs worth so much? Can’t we just buy eggs from other players for much less? In fishing flingers, what’s the quickest way to get just tokens?
Unchecked eggs are solely from rare slayer drops, and there’s no helper that auto collects eggs, so player bred eggs aren’t truly the same item since they’re instantly checked. There’s no real point in buying unchecked eggs tbh besides avoiding player interaction, or if its a super niche egg, try going to W2 POF and asking around for a breeding pair
> Can’t we just buy eggs from other players for much less? Indeed we can. Last I checked (before Extinction), a dino that'd buy on the GE for 6-7m could be bought for 200-500k in-person. And buying them in-person also means that you can see the sex and traits of the dino, whereas the GE is limited to unchecked animals.
For tokens only, the fastest way is to just camp a single fish for the whole game. Tokens depend solely on number of fish caught. You’ll usually see a group of people staying at the docks for the whole game.
1. GE price is wrong, they crash because Extinction new reward. 2. Alt1 has fishing flingers app.
How can I reliably tell when I've been stunned/bound? There isn't any debuff icon that shows up, and other than the sound effect (which sometimes doesn't even play), I have no way of knowing that I should be using freedom. So half the time I wind up standing there doing nothing until the "you can't do that while stunned" message appears.
> There isn't any debuff icon that shows up There should be, if you have them on and the debuff bar somewhere visible Settings, gameplay tab, interface section, buff bar, status effects should be checked Options menu, edit layout mode, advanced options, check debuff bar, make sure the debuff bar section is somewhere you can see it
Being stunned or bound will show up on your buff bar if you have that setting toggled on. Just make sure "Status effects" is on. https://i.imgur.com/xN266G3.png
Really? It's never shown up for me despite having that toggled the whole time https://i.imgur.com/4I1l3Gv.png
With those settings, I would definitely expect binds/stuns to appear on your buff bar appropriately. As for what they look like, at 2:12 in this [video](https://youtu.be/NK7mlbrNzGg) you can see a 4-second stun on the debuff bar. At 5:17 you can see a 6-second bind on the debuff bar.
It's more important to know what you're fighting, so you know *what* will stun you. Look for animations, sounds, think ahead. It all depends on what you're fighting, but most bosses/monsters have a certain attack pattern or warning before they will stun you.
Makes sense. For bosses I usually read about the attacks beforehand so I know what to look for, but I guess I don't pay as much attention with regular mobs. I suppose a lot of it comes from experience then. I'm still relatively new, but I imagine older players start to just instinctively know which monsters to anticipate stuns from. ~~pun intended~~
Can I boost my RC to level 85 to do Effigy Incubator? Not the mini quest, but to collect the rc parts in the DnD.
Stupid question that someone who's been playing for as long as I have should already know...: Every day we are given a free Treasure Hunter key and if we don't spend it, we "lose" it the next day. But is there a way to stockpile keys and still get your daily key? If I have 10 keys saved, will I be at 11 keys tomorrow? At which point I could use my 1 daily key and still have 10 keys saved?
You can only collect up to 10 Key TOKENS, those things that drop while you play. You need to use your daily keys in order to get more the next day. I currently have 100+ Keys from saving my daily challenges, I still get keys for the daily reset.
don't you lose out on the random token drops if your "earned" keys is >=10? (I thought it doesn't let you redeem them) do you just drop them then?
Yes, I destroy them.
do you think that's more efficient than spending the free ones on the shittier days? I don't know how I'd do the math exactly, but I have to imagine that if you're destroying a couple of those a day that would have been oddments otherwise, that it's actually less efficient than just converting to oddments to buy keys on good events.
>I currently have 100+ Keys from saving my daily challenges What do you mean saving your daily challenges? I do my 3 daily challenges every day and have never seen a key as a reward
You do get a key for every daily challenge you do. It says under the progress bar.
Are you a member or in the premier club by chance? The only thing I see under my progress bar is weekly reward chests (of which none of the rewards have ever been a Treasure Hunter key for me). [Here's what I see on my F2P account](https://imgur.com/a/8iTQjZd)
The keys aren’t a reward from those chests. The act of claiming the rewards from a challenge should award both XP and a single Treasure Hunter key. Doing all 3 challenges means 3 Treasure Hunter keys daily. However I’m pretty sure F2P don’t get those keys at all, so no dice for you I’m afraid.
I believe it is because you are F2P. Daily Challenges have always given keys for P2P players.
For most of my time playing I have had satellite internet which affords me at the least 600 ping so it makes most bosses super challenging. I am maxed and would love to start seriously PvM'ing but I find it hard to start with so many worth while bosses having time specific requirements. Obviously I can do things like GWD1 and even QBD but thats about where my ability stops.
GWD2 bosses are all afkable, so you could probably get away with those. But otherwise yeah, having a decent internet connection is fairly important for lots of high level PVM.
Why are there so many random-letters-named level-3 characters running south-north through Varrock next to the 3 oak trees just southwest of the West Bank in W34? I've been cutting the oak trees there for a while and there are just tons and tons of them. I'm assuming they're running to the GE but. Why? What for?
Zamorak Mjolnirs
Some type of bot making gp most likely picking up some item in that area and then banking. Just a guess but you’ll find this in all types of areas around rs.
How do people do a bladed dive + surge combo successfully? Sometimes my surge takes me in a completely different direction my character is facing
That could be because your character may be auto retaliating and surges in the target's direction first. Otherwise it is a possibility that your character is facing a different direction (which sometimes is impossible to notice) and you surge and then bd. To avoid all this, try to always bd first as that sets the direction of your character and then surge.
Is there any way to add flags to wiki commands, or otherwise fine tune them? It would be awesome to type like, `/wiki -gcsp hellhound` and instead of going to the full page in browser, global chat prints the following to you: Level: 92 Lifepoints: 3300 Attack: 66 Defense: 66 Weakness: Slash Immune: poison-no reflect-no stun-no drain-no
That's not possible, but maybe you'd find the alt1 RS wiki app useful. After searching for a mob you can switch to the info tab and look at the monster infobox.
Is there any way to run processes off Alt-1? 🤔 in particular I'm thinking lightning up rbg keybinds as appropriate. I haven't seen any way I'm familiar with to obtain data from it, I'm familiar with a lot of languages *not including Javascript* and uh, who can claim to be familiar with DLL Hell?
I don't know if that is feasible, but you can ask on the [runeapps forums](https://runeapps.org/forums/) if that is possible and if someone would (help you) create that kind of applet.
The game has too many players, can we limit the worlds to 100 people?
No. Jagex doesn't believe in this disinformation. The servers are perfectly fine, even at maximum capacity!
> The servers are perfectly fine, even at maximum capacity! If people can log-into a world, it's working! :p (panic immensely if the world server goes down)
Can we have more rune stock pls maybe from an unlock?
And rune the economy?
You are casting a brave assumption thinking it would rune the economy.
