So I'm pretty burned out on RS3, as made apparent to me by the fact that I can barely motivate myself to stay logged on and I'm playing OSRS again. :v: It's all the little things that Jagex never fixes like the insane startup lag, not recomping lost items that are their fault, endless waves of bugs, etc. etc. basically Jagex being :jagex:

Yeah, the current instability of the servers is basically turning me into a fishing/kilning zombie at this point, because :siren:WHAT IF YOU GET DCED AT GRAARDOR AND LOSE 20M AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:siren:

My one true wish for 2015 is that they'll fix the music player, so it'll stop taking 15 minute breaks between each autoplayed track.

Dungeoneering is basically the best and most entertaining skill while giving out some incredible unique rewards. If you want help getting out of the early levels and into the meat of the skill you could ask in clan chat. FlexMentallo is always eager and ready to help goons with dungeoneering.

I think the startup lag, if it's the same issue I had, can be fixed by deleting the cache file. I think there's a problem with it getting too large or too old, of course this is something Jagex should at least be able to detect and fix.

The problem with that is it only works for a little bit - and once the lag and rendering from recreating the cache finishes, startup lag just comes back :suicide:


Now, while I'm RS3 burned out, I'm not in such a state for Goonscape/Sims 2 Adventures. Here's another one that's a rootin tootin good time... that is, prepare yourselves for Pootin Tootin Endy!

I believe I am now no longer in the presence of nice people.


So just today, I had a thought: Since RuneLabs is due to drop, why don't we make our own terrible ideas? I mean, pubs are probably gonna choke it with their terrible ideas. So why not a goon's terrible idea?

With that, I present this pitch: Alice Does Gielinor, Or Why The gently caress Is She Here Instead Of Screwing Me Out Of My Hard-Earned But Useless Keys*

* Guaranteed to ruin more of Runescape or your money back and ready to fund my next idea.

Overview: Treasure Hunter. Somehow a good venture. But it's boring to watch as everyone opens up a chest to get a star. It's also boring taking a swim in the billions of gold coins that surround the chests, too. So with a want to go out, the mascot Alice enters the really dumb world of Gielinor in order to interact with the filthy money-grubbing peasants intrepid adventurers that seem to plague inhabit it. This is where you come in. The questline is essentially teaching Alice what adventurers do for fun and profit. She grows ever so disgusted and loathsome as you do so, moreso because it might ruin her favorite dress.

Quests 1-3: Basic poo poo. First one's combat-related, and taking place in Lumbridge. Second one's gathering and whatnot, will be in Taverley and Burthorpe. Third one's in the Grand Exchange.

Quests 4-7: Hijinx ensues. Quest 4 forces you to do the barbarian bar crawl again in order to get her to run the course (She doesn't, claiming to have some injury, leaving you to do it.), quest 5 takes you to Tai Bwo to show where the mahogany comes from (get some trading sticks for this bit since she wants you to craft mahogany stuff), quest 6 leads you to the Gnome Stronghold for some good ol' gnome cooking. (Alice gets shitfaced after just one drink.), and quest 7 involves finding where she went. (She's in the elf city somehow.)

Quests 8-12: Bullshit Central. Quest 8 is just getting medicine for her.(Needs 90 herblore to make the medicine, and the reagents are all around Gielinor. Also a puzzle in order to mix the drat things.) Quest 9 involves a tour of the stones. (The stones now have a high failure rate, due to Alice's Berating: A perk that deliberately lowers everything.) Quest 10 involves Morvan. (She forces you into his dungeon for fun.) Quest 11 has Alice bargaining with elves for a crystal keep of her very own. (You have to build it, it's 90 Construction, and it unlocks crystalline dungeons. They cost 1M per room, and do gently caress all..) Quest 12 has Alice being bored of Prfddinas, and she wants to go home. (One of three Grandmaster Quests here. Needs 90 Magic, 91 Construction, 90 Mining, and 90 Agility. Quest only starts when you hit the req's, Agility can't be boosted, and is only needed to survive a scripted magic botch.)

Quests 13 and 14: God dammit why. Quest 13 involves everyone's favorite area: The Elemental Workshop. You are required to gather enough magic bars needed to make delicate little filigrees for useless things. Also some really hard-to-get items. Requires 95 Cooking, 95 Smithing, 95 Magic, 95 Crafting, and 95 Thieving. (The thieving is only for enduring a few things.) Quest 14- AKA the finale- is gonna be the main bullshit quotient. You have to Home Teleport everywhere, then cast "Return To Alice's Keep", a spell unlocked at 98 Magic that uses 5 soul runes and 5 law runes. This is to calibrate Alice's new teleportation device, which you made in 13. THEN, you must use it, resulting in a fuckload of problems. Such as a tear in the rift of time, Saradomin AND Zamorak wizards raiding in anger, champions investigating just what the gently caress is going down with the device, penguins coming in to try to steal the device, and even a few dead characters coming back to make life hell. Like Bandos and the Culinaromancer. Of course, this results in Alice forcing you to fight EVERYONE, since they're ruining her castle with their peasant-like presence. The final result? All champions are dead dead, KGP having to retreat, and generally all the gods are going "What the gently caress" at just what went down. And then she asks you to use it again, this time dragging in the remaining gods and Sliske. Also the Stone of Jas because I lost track. Naturally, you try to pacify the reasonably angry gods. This requires yet another Gielinor-wide fetch quest. And at the end of it all? You come back to a pile of dead gods. Just, a big loving pile of all the gods' corpses. Since your timing is "ever so perfect", you witness Sliske's body being thrown against the corpses. Why? Because he tried to steal Alice's gold. Your reward for doing all this? A small star for the new skill coming out sometime after this quest. You demand more, but she just gets ready to fight. At this point, you now have to fight the rich woman, who touched the stone now. The fight's one-sided, as she hits for 10001 regardless of stats. After that, you're cast into Death's home. Death is just absolutely confused at the events, and feels bad for you. And this is where the questline ends.

Final Rewards (Excluding experience): two bonds, that small star, 25 keys for Treasure Hunter, 25 Hearts of Ice, crystalline dungeons for your home, the gods' clothes as overrides, a new emote, a letter from Jagex that says "Sorry.", and another letter that just says "Come play Treasure Hunter! You can win some Lucky gear!".

Congratulations, adventurer! You just hosed up the lore beyond all repair! Now do it again in Hardcore Ironman mode.

Because the third submitted idea since this crap opened (genius to release it and have over 1,500 pubbie ideas flood it already without being able to do anything with it, I couldn't think of anything more Jagex) is Elemental Workshop V.

quote:

– The quest should be developed by Mod Doctor, since curatorship has passed from Mod Dylan to him.

Someone is going to meet their untimely fate in a future adventure:

What a pleasant replacement.

I don't see why they can't introduce something like bugzilla instead to manage the hundreds of bugs this game is flooded with.

If you're looking for good money and Hunter XP, there is no better time than right now to do GRENWALLS! Grenwalls take 77 Hunter to catch, and if you do the Medium elf tasks you can catch them without using bait. Do your daily Big Chin, buy 300 Grenwall tickets per day, and camp the little boogers. Spikes are up to 900 a pop, meaning each individual Grenwall catch is worth roughly 18k, as they give around 20 spikes per catch (and I think if you put spikes up for 1k each, they'll move, just more slowly). They also give fairly high value herbs on a very regular basis, they drop most of the herbs from Ranarr to Dwarf Weed (sans Wergali, Spirit Weed, and Snapdragon) so you can make bank on herbs too.

Fleece idiot pubbies for large amounts of money by selling herblore supplies at hugely inflated prices! Get 99 Hunter fairly painlessly! My standard kit for baitless Grenwalls is 5 box traps, my stack of quota tickets from Big Chin, Herbicide, and a Bonecrusher. Set your Herbicide to whatever you like, I have it set to murder all of the herbs worth less than like 5k. At 98 Hunter, if I'm actually paying attention and actively grabbing and resetting my boxes quickly, I can do like 200+ catches an hour, which translates to about 4M gold an hour and 220k xp an hour.

You also get spikes (and Hunter EXP) from divine box traps. Make sure you make one a day and drop it in a high pop area, like w2 or before Sinkholes for best results.

oh god...I'm tempted to play again. But if I did, I'd have to buy bonds in-game for membership because I'm too broke right now to pay for members myself.

If I were to do this, what's the way to get the money for successive bonds that won't make me want to kill myself? I am horrible at bossing.

You can definitely make enough to pay for membership if you play every day. Follow the goon-guides in the OP to learn how!
The short version is: Vis wax (250-400k), some daily runecrafting via wicked hood (50-120k depending on your skill), divine locations at burthope world 2 (40-60k if you pick valuable resources), farming herbs every couple hours (100k or more per trip if you can do kwuarm or better), and managing miscellania. All that is like, 20 minutes at the start of your daily runescaping and will keep you in enough cash to play forever. You can also plant papayas in every fruit tree patch for 18k per tree harvested, and if you're down to the wire, you can do shop runs like bagged plant 1s, yak hides, plant pots, feathers, and so on. You need to make about 500k a day, but if you do all the daily free money things and don't go blowing it all to train herb/prayer/construction, you can stay afloat just off bonds.

That wasn't terribly short.

I'll try not to disappear due to router issues this time... it's time for a citadel fundraiser/tournament event!!!

:siren:Super Citadel Fundraising Gladiator Event:siren:

In order to raise money for both the citadel fund and give poorer goons in need a chance at increasing their bank, this event taking place at the Duel Arena around Feb 7 30 minutes after reset, will be a chance for rich goons to donate money to watch the gp poors fight each other for their precious donated coin. Richies can participate too, but will be subjected to much lower prize payout.

ENTRY

Post a screenshot of your bank, cash stack, and stats. This will give an idea of how many people are participating so your opponents and potential prize pool can be adjusted, and let me know you plan to participate.

PRIZES

I'm throwing in 50m gp to the prize pool, purely as money for winning. The amount of prize money given to winners will be determined by how much more generous goons donate. To help everyone out who participates, even losers will be given compensation based on their tier and how much is donated, so everyone wins~

DONATING

If you are feeling kind and generous, please donate the money sometime between now and the event, so the prizes can be more concretely determined. You should also state how much you want to give towards the citadel fund directly, and how much you want to go to the prize pool for the contest. If you don't state it, I will decide on myself. Total donations will be listed at the end of the event. Poopsocker, since you recently donated, I will count it towards this event, so please let me know if you wish to adjust some of that to the prize pool instead of the fund!

COMPETITION

Competitors will be divided based on either their combat levels or skills. Again, based on participants, it could be done tournament style, or we could have everyone fight each other once and base winnings on win vs lose streak. Pretty simple, so just bring your best gear to the fight and beat goons to death!

EXTRAS?

If there's time and people are willing, we could have some extra joke contests for other prizes or just fun. This will remain to be seen!!
