Finally found a look better than "Mr. T in a pink vest". Behold!



Shark outfit was expensive but owns. Not sure if spending twice as much again will be worth it for the +12% fishing xp rate, but the ridiculous head and super afk fishing from first suit are very nice.

Let's talk daily routine. Here's the run I've been doing, along with profit at current prices:
  • Wicked hood essence for nature runes, withdraw 500 fire runes. 120k.
  • Alchemist amulet. 50k.
  • 3k broad arrowheads from Maetzchna. 98k.
  • 1k fire and body runes + 20 battlestaves from Baba Yaga. 66k.
  • Sand from Bert, then 1k fire and body runes from Mage Guild. 67k.
  • Feathers from Sarim fishing shop, then 1k fire and body runes from Void Knights. 74k.
  • Taverly Jack of Trades run, 3k broad arrowheads from Jaclyn, 6 vial of water packs from Poletax. 107k.
  • Vis wax. Approx 400k on average.
  • Farming run, lantadyme and coconuts. Approx 450k on average.
  • Divine locations in Prif resource dungeon or w2 Burthorpe. Rough guess 100k on average.
  • Daily treasure hunter spins.
  • Ports. Some day this will be a moneymaker. Some day...
Comes out to around 1.5m per day, though I'm mostly selling wax and stockpiling the rest for the next dxp price spike. Any suggested additions or deletions? I'm considering potion flasks, but it takes a little while longer than I'd like for 250k and 3.5k mining xp.

you can actually collect Miscellania resources daily so i'd add that if it's not too far out of the way. i think at current prices you should make about 200k a day

Yeah looks like 160k a day right now. I'm letting those build up without collecting so that I can cash in on the next mahogany or herb or coal spike. Just stoppin by once a week to keep the approval topped up.

I'm contemplating buying keys to get at least one full shark outfit.

A dev blog about the new client that was recently posted on the forum:

The New Game Client - how it all started, past, present and future...

It’s been a year and a half since the beta release of the HTML5 RuneScape 3 client. As we mentioned at RuneFest, we've since begun work on another brand new game client, and you may be wondering why we’re trying this again.

We knew from the start that the HTML5 client was experimental, and as we came to the optimisation phase it became clear that it wasn¹t going to be good enough, due to fundamental constraints with the platform (Javascript and the web browsers). In terms of performance, it would never be good enough to replace the Java client.

After much deliberation, we all agreed that the weaknesses of the HTML client couldn’t be worked around, and that the RuneScape community (and developers too) deserved something really awesome in its stead. This could only mean one thing: we decided to take everything we’d learned from our first attempt, and start afresh.

A unanimous decision was made to begin work on a brand-new, cross-platform, C++ RuneScape client. The back-end code (rendering, audio, networking, build systems, etc.) would be written from scratch, but for the client code itself we would port the HTML5 code base to C++. This way, we made the most of the work we’d already done, while focusing on fixing the bits that just didn’t work.

Now, you may wonder why we need to create a new client at all – why not just stick with the technology that’s served RuneScape so far?

Firstly, the Java language is no longer fit for purpose as a modern game client solution. Even major browsers are going to stop supporting it soon, starting with Chrome, and with Firefox following suit soon after.

Secondly - and most importantly - both Java and Javascript have no real scope for performance-critical software and graphics rendering. C++, on the other hand, gives us total control over performance and rendering. It means that we'll be able to provide even better visuals than you currently enjoy, with better performance to boot.

Sounds too good to be true? Actually it isn't, and our progress so far gives us confidence we can meet these goals. Adding to that, C++ is the best cross-platform language and gives us more scope for getting RS working on non-Windows platforms with the best possible performance (e.g. Linux, OSX, more web browsers), etc.

The bottom line... the existing client software doesn’t do justice to what RuneScape can be and has significant drawbacks which are getting worse over time. We have to adapt, and this is the best way forward!

Today, things are shaping up nicely. We're nearly finished implementing the core client features, with visuals and performance already better than the Java client. To whet your appetites, here's a brief summary of what the new client aims to deliver:

● Better performance over existing Java client
● Better visual than HTML5 RS3 client
● More platform and OS support (Windows XP/7/8, OSX, Linux, web browser)
● Improved loading speed
● Improved draw distances over Java
● Improved graphics:
- Global illumination lighting (irradiance via spherical harmonics and ambient occlusion)
- Atmospheric light scattering
- Cascaded shadow maps (highly detailed sun shadows over larger distances)
- Improved post-processing
- Improved reflections
- Gamma correct and HDR rendering pipeline

The list goes on, but I'll save details for future blog posts that will aim to satisfy the more technical among you, and hopefully answer your questions.

We're going to make every effort possible to give you a better RS experience, without losing certain features of the Java client that some of you have grown to love. Ultimately, we have to do what’s best for RuneScape - all we ask is that you keep an open mind, and trust us. You won't be disappointed.

The mod replies to the questions on Reddit/official forums are quite interesting regarding the NXT client. I wasn't aware that browsers were planning to depreciate Java.

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
Huge increases in draw distance should probably be accompanied by redoing the world map, at least partially to move landmasses away from each other. You shouldn't be seeing islands from the mainland if you have to take a boat to reach them.

There are balance concerns but the world doesn't feel very large and the entire map could do with something of a rework. There's just not a lot of space even in the member's areas. The free area of the map is a complete and utter joke, especially around Lumbridge, where you can't take ten steps in a row without running into a forgotten event set piece of some kind.

Increasing the draw distance is only going to make it more obvious that some of these cities aren't even a full city block away from each other.

That's been talked about/suggested a lot and jagex has basically said too much effort for little to no payoff so it wont be happening.

No need to keep checking it every day as long as you have enough money in the coffers, you don't gain anything extra and you just spend more time doing upkeep, travelling and sorting out your loot. I just check mine once a week and top the coffers up to 1.2m which is the minimum you need for 7 days of letting it run. When you do the quest to reduce the amount of work to raise approval you only have to cut a maple tree once or twice for the whole week.

The gifs are amazing but you need to see if that program has a way to reduce the framerate. I opened them to edit and holy poo poo, 125 - 240 frames each :stonk: So if you can't get the framerate lower, I'd recommend linking since the first one alone is 21 MB.

However, I took all three and made avatarable gifs:

if you want to make longer higher quality GIFs use https://gfycat.com/ it has no file size limits and it lets you pause, rewind, fast forward or step frame by frame. it also loads about 8x faster because it's in HTML5 video rather than Gif format
