Is there reason why this game keeps pulling me back in? Whenever I play I do some dull skilling and get bored, but every drat year I return. This has been continuing since 2003. Madness. Thinking of re-subbing, I've tried playing F2P to make sure I want to, but the fletching cap is making it feel pointless without XP gain. Is fletching still cool? I LOVED the new crafting system for knives/logs, so much better than the old way. It's amazing how much accessible crafting and such is these days.

simosimo posted:What's the best AFK skill for grinding out *sweet coinz* goons in current RS3? Currently semi-afk money skilling method is Runecrafting. If you can craft Astral runes(40 RC) you will easily make 500-700K GP/hr and 25-30K RC XP/hr, if you're 82 RC or higher you can craft double Astral Runes for 1.5-2M GP/hr. It's semi-afk because if you set your UI up right it's a one-click run to the Altar which is the most lengthy part of this crafting method. If you want click once and go AFK for five minutes Rocktail wins.

I'm 79 fishing so got a long way til Rocktails, but it's good to know they're a viable money maker. I'm F2P fishing lobs at Karjima and there's a cert guy there. I think it is actually quicker than Fishing guild amazingly.

The problem with Guthixian Caches is when you do one and then sometime later the Energy Rift opens again and you realise you have just spent 3 hours doing Divination.

There aren't any fishing caps in F2P are there? I've found a good groove at Karamja docks with the cert guy. Hoping to poopsock to 90, hopefully by that time i'll have bond money for Rocktails and will be sorted 'fo life'.

No there is no level cap in F2P for fishing, only for "P2P" or "member" skills, they cap at level 5. I really would not recommend fishing Lobsters to 90, but it's entirely up to you. To affoard a bond you will only need to fish ~20K Lobsters.

Not entirely fussed as I have been leaving it on semi-afk while I work so it's not been too bad. Unless there's a better F2P and entirely AFK'able skill i'd be all ears.

I've played all iterations of the game, but i'm interested to hear your thoughts. Everywhere I see 'OSRS is great' and then 'OSRS sucks'. I have major nostalgia for RS Classic [not OSRS] because it was dramatically different and simpler. But OSRS was pretty much what we have now with worse graphics and less features no? Again not being a jerk, just want to hear your thoughts. Also the thought of making a new account for OSRS makes me skin crawl, skilling, quests...*puke* Sevalar fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Jan 16, 2015 |

simosimo posted:Can you explain why? joachim783 posted:Ready your socks and prepare your banks because the next double xp weekend has been announced. An overview of the major differences between OSRS and RS3: Design Philosophy: RS3 has big, flashy updates that look and sound great, as they should, given the budget and team members allotted to the main game. The few quests we've gotten in the past few years have been exceptionally polished and generous in their rewards and world-building lore. Unfortunately, they also have a lot of wasted talent going into the MTX shops. Overall, the balance and quality of quests, rewards, etc. are pretty well done on the main game, but lack of reasons to replay content outside of massing more bonus experience/$$$ tends to kill off minigames/monsters that are sub-optimal. Making Silverhawk feathers/boots, portable skilling stations, and protean items available through other means would bring value to long-dead skills/content, but Jagex has no intention of doing that right now by all appearances. There's good content available, when elements of it aren't being parted out for MTX promotions (Portables were originally meant to be a reward from the Inventor skill  ).OldSchool tends to stick to Ninja Team styled updates. In fact, a number of ninja updates are based on OSRS updates, for example the miniature boss pets were previously OSRS-exclusive content. The grind for combat skills has been made considerably more AFK through a minigame called the Nightmare Zone, as well as by boosting Pest Control experience rates to their former levels. As far as big flashy content goes, Oldschool is lacking. There have been no new quests released for OSRS, and little to no graphical reworks. With that said, there is some ambitious content coming down the line, including a new landmass/continent called Zeah which promises value for under-utilized skills (Firemaking was specifically mentioned) as well as ten achievement diaries set to be launched in a month or so. Many updates have been quality of life improvements, with a large focus on Slayer, bossing, and PvP in the last year. Graphics: OldSchool has shittier graphics, examples of programmer art like the Lava Dragon can be found here and there in new content. There's been a few graphic design artists cycled through the OSRS team, producing items such as the Dragon Cane, Odium Ward, and Trident of the Swamp. In terms of quality graphic design on RS3, look at the Elder God quests, the new Elf City, or basically any grandmaster quest released in the past ~3 years. Community: It's poo poo for both games. Don't talk to pubbies. RS3 has the clear advantage due to the clan system. (Oldschool has an active PvP/duelling community, if you're into that.) Power to the Players: RS3 runns PttP polls regularly as a means of checking feedback ("Did you enjoy this content? Wanted to play, Didn't want to play, etc") and occasionally for decisions on which new quest/skill reward to develop. One of a Kind and most of the Elf City content was voted on this way, among other things found in this archive. Oldschool takes a different approach to polling, requiring a 75% supermajority to pass any polls, with questions limited to Yes/No, Pass/Don't Pass questions. Often these will be no-brainer questions like "Do you want more bank space?" and "Would you like X Item(s) graphically reworked?" but there's always one or two game-changers like the current Grand Exchange poll that have potential to affect the whole game. Development Teams: Oldschool has a smaller development team, but it consists of long-term Jagex employees. Notably, Ash and Ian Gower are prominent in content development and engine work, respectively. RS3 is following the lead of OSRS by dividing up work into smaller teams of developers now (ex: Ninja Team). Less people, less obstruction of work, less delays for reworks/redesigns/approval, etc. Of course, OSRS does have generally less-balanced updates as a result, but the mods tend to step in and make changes in particularly egregious cases. Oldschool has developers who make dungeon sex jokes and name ducks after their twitch streamer waifus. RS3 has skeevy bronies, elf cosplayers, and Grand Poobah Markdonalds. Both sets of developers are pretty loving weird. Overall: Play the game you like better, both are solid choices if you like RuneScape at all. If you want the old combat system instead of legacy mode (which is really just reskinned momentum, total let-down  ), play OldSchool. If you want flashy graphics that scale better with your screen size, and less grind overall, play RS3.I get the impression that most people who play oldschool play it for nostalgia or the potential for a different development path from the main game. Some content is being redeveloped for OSRS with attention paid to their effects on the original game (i.e. Corporeal Beast shields were released, but modified from their original properties. God Wars Dungeon was rebuilt, with new items added to balance out the spread of rewards among bosses (Staff of the Dead (Staff of Light) was added to Zammy GWD, Armadyl Crossbow to Sara GWD). A major clue scroll update was released last year with new riddles/puzzles sourced from the community, and a variety of new rewards of varying usefulness added (Robin hood body, prayer sandals, new god books with different stats from their original implementation), ring imbues originally associated with Mobilizing Armies were added to the Nightmare Zone (Dominion Tower) minigame. There's a ton of content that's been added since OSRS relaunched, I'm tempted to put together a proper summary of it all at some point, as there doesn't seem to be any official archive of updates.
