I've gotta say, 80-85 div was kind of a breeze for me, though the massive amount of bonus xp I had in it and the lumps I got from Mahjarrat Memories definitely sped that along. I don't mind afking it as much as I do, say, fishing, as with that I have to spam-drop the fish.

You can spam drop easily now by putting a raw fish on your action bar and holding down the hotkey. It works for anything that shows Use and Drop as the first 2 actions on the right click menu.

It makes things like power leveling fishing and hunter a whole lot faster.

You can also note your farming produce by using it on the tool leprechaun.

Oh, I knew about all of that already, but I've found hotbar dropping to be bugged half the time, where you'll hit the button and it just doesn't drop. Mostly this happens at Pyramid Plunder, but I've had it happen while fishing.

Also, it unfortunately doesn't work at Barbarian Fishing, which is one of the only sane fishing methods (besides Dungeoneering fishing).

― Corey Dostoyevsky
Annoying pubbie approaches me in the Chaos Tunnels (Daredevil area) and makes up some sob story, saying he needs a super restore flask. I was almost done with my slayer task and was feeling generous, so whatever. I finished the task, warp out, deposited everything, and buy two restore flasks because I'm super duper nice. Ran back into the wild with just the flasks where I was greeted by the same idiot and his band of dipshit geeks ready to obliterate me.

I should've seen it coming because the guy followed me, as if he wanted me to lead him out of the tunnels into the wilderness with my full Bandos and Maul :razz:. Fortunately, few people are that stupid and I went the rational route.

All in all, a negligible loss, but one that annoys me. Stupid clownfuck.

e: As it turns out, the person who duped me tried the same thing to Kari about a month ago. What the gently caress?

Incidentally, it's the exact same pubbie that tried to pull the same lure on me one or two months ago, which means that's probably all they've been doing this entire time. I just kept my regular equipment though and teleported in with a gargoyle helmet and the fucker removed me from his/her list. :v:

If it looks too good to be true, was it a goon? If yes, it's probably good game advice. No? It's probably a pubbie being dumb as gently caress or a scam.

Step 1. Don't trust anything a pubbie says.

If A pubie is selling anything outside of the ge, or asks you to buy something for them off the ge (with big ticket items, runes and b staves are fine) it's a scam.

Also never buy any spirit shards for any pubie ever or fallow any pubie to some obscure location like the temple of ikov dungeon or anywhere near rekella.

This and the boat that takes you right next to ice plateau, its 1 click to go from safe to level 52 no escaping in combat wilderness and there's no warning. There are also half a dozen item scams involving glitches with keld and slayer cave entrances.

Pretty much if some pubie tries to get you to rekella just stay far far away from them.

If they ask you to buy broad bolt heads for them they actually might be legit. Like they're not doing you any favors because the ge price on broad bolt heads is more expensive than the shop price, but if you're feeling nice, grab a pack and sell it to yonder pubbie for shop price - if they try to NYEH HEH HEH and gently caress off, then whelp you just made a chunk of gold getting "scammed." I always buy pubs broad bolt heads because idgaf and it makes someone's day a little brighter :buddy:

It's called luring and it has been around for years and years. Believe it or not, but there are people who make literal billions of gp doing it since people are stupid enough to go into the wild with poo poo like partyhats.

My favorite lure I've seen is at the clan wars dangerous portal doing item staking. You get someone you actually trust to be your partner for the scam, then one of you convinces some pubbie you'll 2v1 your friend (who sells the idea that they're a dope who thinks they can win the 1v2 they're walking into) then you let your buddy murder the dumb pub, collect their loot, and watch them cry. There's a video floating around of a pair of people doing this and the one gets the mark on skype with him to "coordinate" and the kid screams and cries bloody murder over getting conned out of a phat

Gold sellers sell gold for roughly 35 to 40 cents per million.

By that figure, the crappiest party hat (Purple) is worth at least $420. (1.2 billion)

I can imagine even the Purple hat is worth more than that.

There was a guy on some forum I used to read (i forget which, probably rsbuddy or tip.it) that had something like a 75% lure rate using this method once he got in skype with the person. He was offering commission to anyone who could get people into skype with him. He had some ridiculous screenshots of billions lured.
