We have a clan chat for OldSchool, ScapeGoons.

Anyone use it? I'm quitting RS3 for OSRS for the foreseeable future until RS3 is fun again.

Soulhunter posted:

e: I just discovered AutoHotKey and oh my god it looks like the best thing ever for oldschool if you have the slightest bit of familiarity with scripting, does anyone know if using AHK for dropping logs/making darts can get you banned?

Yes it can, unfortunately, and the mods have given conflicting statements regarding whether it's allowed. It's really unlikely you'll be banned, but prominent users have been for using it (I still use it, the game is a pain in the rear end without it, if I get banned and can't appeal I'll just quit).

I've seen a couple people in there now and then, pizza lady occasionally a while back. Usually just me when I'm on, though there seems to be some minor level of curiosity for OSRS here. I'm in the same place as you though, outside of quests/major updates on RS3 I'm sticking to oldschool for now.

Got my fire cape on my first attempt at the fight caves (first ever with the old combat system!) today! :D

I return from a week of sick as hell and puking to bring you something like what I just described !

quote:

Boss Practice Mode | Instancing Improvements

Boss fights are exciting, challenging, and the source of some of RuneScape's shiniest loot, but the level of difficulty can make them off-putting to newcomers.

Boss Practice Mode is here to help, offering a safe environment in which to hone your boss battling skills until you're ready to face the real thing.

We've also trimmed down the instancing interface to the essentials, allowed you to return to instances across log-outs or game updates, and introduced three exclusive rewards for those willing to welcome and help out new players.

Read on to find out more!
Boss Practice Mode

If you want to boss, but don't feel up to the challenge just yet, Practice mode is for you.

You'll have the option of selecting this when creating an instance before entering a boss fight.

A Practice mode instance is different from a regular one in several ways:

All deaths within the instance as 'safe' – you won't lose items by being killed.
No cost to start or maintain the instance.
Hardcore Ironman characters may die in a practice instance without losing their status.
Familiars persist through your death.

There are – of course – some limitations in Practice mode:

No XP is given.
No drops or other rewards are given.
Kills do not count towards slayer or soul reaper assignments.
Hard mode fights cannot be attempted in Practice mode.

To help you prepare, the Beasts interface has been updated with a 'Learn' button that gives details of each featured boss's attacks and tactics. You can also access a boss's 'Learn' page by clicking their image in the Instance System interface.

A Practice mode instance is the perfect place to break into bossing, or to brush up your skills if you're feeling rusty.
Boss Instancing Improvements

Along with Practice mode, there are a number of other updates to boss instancing that'll make the experience smoother and simpler all round:

The Instance System interface has been streamlined and spruced up, so everything you need is immediately to hand in one pane, including practice and hard mode toggles.
The new 'Rejoin' button allows you to re-enter your last instance – even across game updates and log-outs - as long as it's got more than 10 minutes remaining.

Help New Players, Get Rewards

There's a new set of unique rewards for those who help inexperienced boss battlers hone their skills.

When a non-Practice mode boss goes down, anyone with 10 or more kills on that boss who makes it into the top 15 damagers will receive one point for each person with fewer than 10 kills who also makes it into the top 15.

As you earn points, you'll unlock the following:

50 points: mortar board head override.
250 points: 'the Master' title.
500 points: Cornellius the owl - a follower pet.

For someone learning bossing, there's nothing better than a seasoned pro showing them the ropes. These rewards are a 'thank you' for those of you willing to lend a helping hand.
Enjoy!

Boss fights can be one of the most rewarding parts of RuneScape – from the gear you can get through to the friends can make – and now it's more accessible than ever.

Have fun, fight hard, and let us know your thoughts over on the forums.

Solomon's Store – Dark Lord Pack - Coming Soon

First up, there's a five-piece outfit to enjoy, complete with eerie particle effects. There's a teleport animation override, too, and two skill overrides: one for infusing summoning pouches, and one for altar runecrafting.

In Other News

The in-game clock has two new functions:
Countdowns to D&Ds marked as favourites - and to the daily, weekly and monthly global resets - can be seen by clicking the button to the clock's left.
Notifications of upcoming JMod events can be seen by clicking the exclamation mark icon to the upper-right of the clock, when it appears.
The Ninja Team has brought you a couple of smaller updates, picked from popular suggestions on RuneLabs:
You can now use Quick Chat to show slayer and boss kill counts, from a new 'Combat' category.
The Guthixian Cache D&D will now show the number of players transformed into Cres.

Read the patch notes for other updates released today.

You'll have to work at it a bit more, sadly. GWD requires 70 in a couple different skills and the ability to murder 40 lvl 90+ monsters before you see the boss you went for.

You can always give things a shot with practice mode to see if you can take them down yet.

So I am thinking sometime this weekend we do a group trip to the God Wars Dungeon. 10 kills of each boss, minus Nex. Don't want it to last too long due to time zones. That should give a fair few points for bossing veterans and some decent experience for noobs. And if nothing else it would be fun with goons, which is worth more than any xp or rewards, right? RIGHT?

How about Saturday, 30mins after reset?


Just an idea, feel free to suggest other days/time.

At reset tonight joachim and I are planning on practicing some boss kills, if anyone else wants to learn how to kill Nex with us you're all more than welcome to join in.

Probably going to start gearing up around 8pm eastern time and plan to head into the boss room between 8:30-9pm. Gear information/boss strategy can be found at this link: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Nex/Strategies

e: Not enough interest for now, pretty sure we could do this easily with 2-3 people teams after a bit of practice. Soloed the first phase easily with RCB and warpriest armour, but probably need at least 1 other person to evade the second phase's DoT.

Go find a non-top20 max cape clan, look for the dodgy gold buying/acc buying types, you'll know them when you find them.

DO NOT go looking for websites, literally every single levelling/gold/questing site is either a scam, filled with trojans or will do the service for you and then re-sell your account later without asking.

From 00:00 UTC (game time) on 13th March until 23:59 UTC on 16th March, you'll get an increased token yield on Treasure Hunter.

Finally, you can win new rares on Treasure Hunter itself – as well as lucky chaotic weapons.

Read on for more information!

Imcando pistols: indulge your flintlock fantasies with these dual beauties. Effectively crossbows, they fire bolts – but boast a flashy firing effect. They're usable from level 1, but can re-statted across several tiers up to 70.

Finally, we've expanded the list of available lucky items. These all require 80 in their relevant combat stat, as well as 80 Dungeoneering:

Lucky chaotic rapier
Lucky off-hand chaotic rapier
Lucky chaotic longsword
Lucky off-hand chaotic longsword
Lucky chaotic claw
Lucky off-hand chaotic claw
Lucky chaotic maul
Lucky chaotic spear
Lucky chaotic staff
Lucky chaotic crossbow
Lucky off-hand chaotic crossbow
Lucky chaotic kiteshield
Lucky eagle-eye kiteshield
Lucky farseer kiteshield

Lucky tier 90 weapons don't seem so far in the future now. Jagex is really milking it for everything it's worth.
