This is what I imagine getting a kill on darkscape is like.

It's a lot like that, but with running immediately after. Because after each kill I've gotten, I've been chased by their clanmates to the ends of the earth

Hey guys, BXP weekend has started as of 7AM EST this morning. If anyone has time, try and put some time in at the citadel - xp is doubled there as well, and we're a bit short of upkeep with tons of materials available for smithing and what-not.

As far as suggestions for what to do - Runespan's always a good idea, because Runecrafting sucks with normal xp. Aim for quest goals if you're lower-leveled. If you're around 90 Thief, finish up the 99 in a few hours at the elf city.

Any skills you have stockpiled lots of BEXP for are also a good idea to train right now. I plan on doing mostly agility to use up this massive amount from Barb rear end I have.

A Friend pking with t70 blisterwood weapons in DarkScape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNZ32sDsni8


Benefits of Blisterwood:
-Weapons are made from 1 blisterwood log (free)
-Upon death weapons are dropped to the ground and only the owner can see them (quest item)
-Second strongest tier in the game
-Ability to switch combat styles without people noticing (shown in A Friend's video)

These weapons are so overpowered that they basically break the game. Jagex is going to change them dramatically, but for now people can stock up on as many sets as they want.

Too bad none of us are even close to the quest reqs to get them.

Really, 5th place? I'm not sure whether to be thankful that I didn't place higher or ashamed that I placed so high :smith:

Also take those figures with a grain of salt, Runeclan has been making GBS threads the bed all weekend with database errors and the like so there is the possibility it messed up a couple of things?

More than likely it was just suffering from increased load crashing the database server, I doubt the data was actually compromised.

Is PvP in darkscape one on one or multiway or does it change depending on the area?

I'm guessing it's 1v1 in the towns, if it's not, I'd totally make an account and get like 30 Ranged to go suicide gank people with goons with lovely bows and no armor and just trying to spray enough arrows at people with nice things to kill them before the guards murder us

It's multi everywhere, but it's weird. AFAIK you can stack anyone who's skulled, but can only single combat someone who's unskulled. It might be different in the other regions of the game I haven't really done any PKing.

It's largely all multi but getting skulled in 90% of low risk (ie lumby, draynor, taverly, falador, etc) is a bad idea because its really easy to run into a guard and get killed and there's also a wilderness style level cap that goes all the way up to 20 in burthroupe so you really can kill anyone you see.

Medium risk isn't as bad, there are considerably less people than low risk but there is also no level cap and you can attack anyone you see, guards are only in towns to so losing your skull is fairly easy.

Truthfully there's not much of a difference between medium and high risk, nearly all of the high level resources got moved to the wilderness (yew-elder trees, sharks and other high level fish) but the few times I've been there I've only encountered a few people most of whom were pretty nice.

I got a few people together last night with t60 staves and camped out at the barrows chest killing people after they looted so theres definitely some fun to be had on darkscape.

On the flip-side though quests that were bad before are significantly worse on darkscape because of the transportation restrictions, spirit trees require tree roots to use, fairy rings require mort myre fungi, charter ships cost 40-120k to use per trip, using the gnome glider costs 2 teak planks and a silk.

Monkey Madness because of all of this is horrible, you cant teleport off the island and you almost always have more than 3 items on you so you cant just suicide, you have to walk off the island which for a significant part of the quest is literally impossible, i started it last night and i fully expect it to take most of today if not also part of tomorrow.

Edit: For Monkey Madness you cant even get to crash island without paying the glider fee (2 planks 2 cloth) so holy gently caress is this quest literally the worst....
