It got changed around yesterday, and I added some stuff to the OP to reflect it.

Today's special highlights will be really obvious macroers and botters!


To start, here's this obvious combat bot I've seen around for a while.


Too out there to be a bot. Definitely a sonic loving nerd though.


Not a bot either.


A celtic knot that's basically pre-solved for me? That's super nice of you Jagex!





A loving Runecrafting bot that's been around for months now.


Do your job then, nerd.


So... after that whole spiel about how if you're clever you can be undetectable with your macro and even saying you can't macro Seren stones, you.. went and did it anyway and went to bed. Yeah, that's not obvious and no one noticed you at all!



Meanwhile, poo poo pub chat when I go in for vis wax combos.

PUBBIE PK!!

Well okay we didn't get him cause he got away and lobbied, but basically he was trying to lure Swicky into attacking his wolf to get skulled, and did so for about 6 minutes+. Pizza Man and I geared up and went to attack. I got there first and struck, and he turned on his prayer and coolly fought back. Then came Pizza Man with his katana. WHACK! At this point the pubbie shits himself and starts fleeing, even typing that gibberish as what he thought would be simple 1 on 1 turns into 3 on 1 team battle. Sadly I couldn't bind him but all three of us had a great moment together before leaving the wilderness safely. The yak was mainly for psychological warfare - I didn't even fill it.


I come back to Seren Skulls with a neat overhead skull and of course, our expert undetectable macroer is still there in the corner. At this point you've been there for at least two hours. Surely none of the pubs noticed you, especially since they kept commenting on their surroundings... surely!

Soulhunter posted:

With the major combat overhauls, most same-tier weapons do the same DPS now, so speed doesn't really matter anymore (outside of legacy combat anyways). The biggest difference in DPS now falls on 2H vs 1H abilities, and even that is situational. Look up "Revolution" on the rswiki for optimal setups.

I would recommend maces for the added prayer bonus, personally. You can get them as a drop from greater demons and make some decent xp + cash gains there with your stats if you have a Darklight (from the quest Shadow of the Storm).

Thanks for the help!

I have absolutely no idea what hosed it up, I watched it for like three hours while it was autoclicking and it was fine the whole time. I thought I figured it out with some mouse/camera fuckery

E: I'm not banned yet, and if I do get banned I'll try to talk my way out of it. I even have a semi believable cover story I've had ready. Don't count me out yet.

Either camera/mouse or the workers, whatever that means. Something something they get in way.

I actually think it might have been an impling, cause I watched it for a couple hours and the workers didn't do anything to block my mouse.

Who knows! Just confirms that you definitely can't autoclick stones, either way.

My story is that I was out of the room marathoning the first two hobbit movies with a wireless mouse with the laser bit taped over and clicking it roughly every thirty seconds. It legitimately perfectly explains the behavior :v:

You don't have to act like a good or smart human, you just have to not do impossibly precise things.

Not sure if it still happens, but back in 06/07 the camera would randomly shift slightly every now and then. If you're playing normally you'd never notice it but if you keep your camera/cursor in the same place for a long time it'd eventually shift out of place.

The chance it was an impling is incredibly low because only Crystals spawn and they spawn near the heralds - you were in the far corner away from it.

We should start a betting pool on when you will get hit with the :redhammer: though.

Yeah well Snowboarding sucks as well

Slayer rocks, it distracts you from training actual combat skills and you get stuff and things from it as well. Stuff and things are awesome, unless you've got a troll task which you don't get stuff or things, trolls suck.

I've always seen people have their "Look guys this is what i've got from level x to x in slayer tasks, look at me sell these and make bank in one sitting instead of a steady income of selling them as i get them" and i've always wanted to do this. The main reason i want to do this is because looking at a bank with an assortment of items from slayer with a big number besides them, like "Rune Mace 30". Yeah rune maces suck, but 30 of them is like 300-400k, but gently caress that, the 30 looks awesome. So i'm going to record my bank and some little slayer notes of my adventures over time, it won't just be "Look my bank" but if something interesting happens during a task, or if i get a Death task to kill the Chaos Elemental and someone wants me to attack their spirit wolf (Read Themata's previous update).

Here's an example, this is what i've gotten so far from my slayer task,


Times this by 28, and you have everything you get from a troll task, gently caress i hate these


This is my current slayer level, but it will grow. that's what she said

This is my bank at the moment

I'm on my 81st task at the moment, but up until task 70 i was doing the 9 Mazchna then 1 my highest (which has been Chaeldar) but then i decided gently caress it, i have my helmet and the better ones are just a bonus and since it's tedious as gently caress doing 9 boring and 1 more exciting task i decided to just go all out. I only started collecting stuff about 5 tasks ago and even then i wasn't picking much up (I also got Trolls, gently caress trolls).

P.S

Look at this charming mother fucker, i love him.

Don't use bone crusher with dragons you can double the amount you make on a task by picking them up, i also recommend taking the highest level of sign of the porter you can make because it auto banks all the hide you pick up, unfortunately it doesn't work on bones though.

Swicky! Why don't you have 55 wizard magic for high alchemy? Exploding rune gear into coins on the spot is one of the best things about slaying.

I just helped Drakkar slay Kalphite Queen and I had never been there before and had no idea what she would do aside from spawning bugs and switching forms. I had to go back to town for a rope, I used every bit of my food, I safespotted her bugs on her rear end, and we won with 2k left on my life bar. Slayer!

It's okay Professor. We understand Gary and Ash can be quite a hand full.

edit: On topic though, digging the slayer chat. I barely have free time in my life for RS anymore. So I mostly just try to do some slayer tasks. I definitely hoard my loot in the bank just so I can see it and feel awesome.

It was only dub tokens and the double xp was solely from sinkholes. We used it as an excuse to get a lot of the newer guys to occults, though, so there should be more people to group with.
