I love slayer because it breaks up the monotony, lets you train several different combat skills, and builds a nice passive cash pile in your loot tab. I dunno what levels or quests you have or anything but it helps if you have the world opened up and a little bit of cash/resources at your disposal to get it rolling.

One level 10 weapon is 540k invention exp on dismantle, invention is fast as gently caress - easily maxed in a month if you want to tryhard.

meh might. at the moment i've got my nox staff and chaotic crossbows augmented deus ex style. already siphoned my mainhand cbow once. if im dismantling i gotta use poo poo weps like sallies which means im killing poo poo monsters for poo poo drops.

i hear siphoning at muspahs/zammy GWD is really good xp/h. i might go for max invent but...


A: it's basically slayer except you lose money instead of gaining it

B: i'm super poor anyway, have like 500k coins and all my wealth is in currently untradable equipment

C: none of the rewards stand out as worth to me

skill seems like a blunder to me right now. i'm level 41 invent right now from dismantling two salamanders, siphoning my cbow and ripping apart a bunch of random drops/bank junk. maybe they'll finish- I MEAN UPDATE the skill soon.

EDIT: big reason i don't like invent is that getting parts core to lvling the skills - eg powerful parts - is expensive and hard as f, while most others are like free basically. so you bust ur balls spending like 800k trying to get powerful parts and get maybe 5 which aint even enough to augment

900k should buy you ~300 Swamp Titans which are <1% junk chance and give powerful components. But yeah it's a rough skill to level if you don't have capital, and the return on investment is pretty lovely.

Slayer rings for enchanting and precious. Battlestaves/cheap high lvl pouches for powerful components. If you have prif/lunar/varrock fully unlocked you can buy 132 battlestaves for less than a mil every day and get like 20-25 powerful components a day. Slayer rings are practically free, except for the gold bar cost.

If you have 98+ crafting, a good way to level Invention is to kill ganodermic beasts. You get ~20k flakes from levelling armour from 1-10 and you can use those flakes to make more augmentable gano sets (6,5k flakes) and bank or sell the rest for cash.

On another note, JaGex in conversation for intentionally being bought out by a Chinese company is pretty interesting. Assuming they're going to market RS3 as it's the newer game if it happens.

The guilds very friendly on RS3 but I find it hard to play it over OSRS. I really wish they allowed connections to both forks at the same time. But you can't play one while playing the other. The general community on OSRS is so lovely.

I've also had a few people pm me over the years asking if x is talking in chat or if x is a bot or if my clan allows bots, I usually don't reply and get reminded why I have my chat set to friends.

Also whats up with the 2 random people that occasionally join the chat but never respond when I ask if they want an add or whats up? I forget one of their names but one of them is like xroses or something.

Yeah I have no idea who those people are but apparently one of them is guesting with the intent to maybe join later? The five thousand "has joined the clan chat" messages a minute are a bit annoying though.

I used to play this about 10 years ago back in high school. Back then I was purely f2p and played on and off for about 3 years before university started and I didn't have any free time anymore. Recently I decided to make a new account and check it out again. I subbed a month ago and so far I'm having a blast reliving the old content and playing through the massive amount of p2p content.

If someone sees me in the guest clan chat, can you toss me a clan invite? In-game name is "Axton Rex".

e: got the invite

The only real difference between mining, divination, runecrafting, woodcutting, and fishing is whether or not going to the bank is something you might want to do!

When you get sick of grinding on those though, you have skills like construction where you can create the same oak cupboard for days on end until you get to graduate to teak bidets for more of the same!

Still the worst community in the gaming industry!

Things could be going better

I went back and made a new account (I went as far as I could in f2p when I was in middle school but I have no idea what the login is) after trying out the new card game and man am I flashing back hard. Enough has changed that it seems different but so many things are the same too.

Out of curiosity, why do I only see Twitch streamers playing the older game/using the old UI? Is there some sort of huge following for 2007 Runescape?

Old School is weird. It's the same game, except older and maybe worse???, but everybody and their mother is streaming 07. Also the 07 community is so goddamn toxic that it makes RS3 look like a non-stop friendapalooza.

As far as I can tell, its kind of a mix between 'this is the runescape I grew up with', a reaction to EOC and related changes in RS3, and a really responsive dev team in OSRS. Plus OSRS has things like DMM which is really what draws in the views.

Edit: FWIW, I enjoy RS3 but wouldn't play OSRS again if they paid me to do so.
