[P1]. Intro




Runescape is a long standing MMORPG with a horrible community, repetitive skills, but enough charm and wit with flashes of well thought out content that keeps you coming back for more. The medieval fantasy game you once knew has changed radically with the introduction of Evolution of Combat (EOC), with pubbie rage bringing to its side Legacy Mode, which harkens back to the days of old through its interface and combat system. You can still play the original Runescape 2, now known as Old School Runescape (OSRS) here but almost all goons play the main game, so you won’t get the laid back, super awesome community if you wanna dip into that nostalgia.

The OP will serve to be brief as possible, providing you with just enough to get you into the game, or back in touch if you’ve been away so that you can get to the new life that awaits you in Gilenor. If you like what you see or find the game appeals to you as you try it out, consider subscribing to get the full game unlocked. Membership is ~$7 USD a month at its most expensive, and with the introduction of Bonds, you can even play the game completely free once your cash flow gets into the mils, a fairly easy feat these days.

[P2]. Goonscape



Goonscape
is Something Awful’s Runescape clan, currently run by the chaotic staff wielding fist of Hinze123. We’re real dweebs cool and laid back, and as long as you aren’t some horrible shithead, we welcome you as one of us to poopsock and nerd out about stupid things together. You’ll want to stick with the clan when playing this game cause as mentioned before, the general community is absolutely terrible.





Rafzakael posted:

To join GoonScape, you need to first familiarize yourself with the UI a bit. Assuming your computer isn’t a relic from the ‘90s, these are the steps you’ll need to follow.
First, click on this button . This brings up your ‘Community’ window.

Next, you should see the following window:



Make sure you have the green middle icon highlighted. Viewing this window, click the little icon in the lower left ( ] and type in GoonScape.

You should enter the clan chat channel. From there, just ask in chat to be invited to the clan; we’ll get you situated!

Most of the time, we do our own thing and chat, there’s usually at least a couple of us on at a time. Sometimes we get together and do content, boss, help each other out, and also skill at our Clan Citadel.

The Clan Citadel is our very own castle in the sky, located between Falador and Rimmington where you can skill at various plots for lots of XP and even get a citadel payment from Hinze123 for 500k if you do less than half your weekly cap on the loom (1349/2700) with a full citadel cap. If you can’t get in touch with her or a silver key for this before the citadel resets (between Saturday/Sunday), post proof of your cap in the thread or you will not be paid. Feel free to ask for more details in the actual clan chat. The fund is made possible thanks to generous donations by goons.



The citadel itself is made possible thanks to the extensive work of previous clan owners, Manyorcas getting the citadel to tier 6, and FlexMentallo/99 CENTS AMIGO getting us to the final tier 7. I sort of snuck in while we were working towards our glorious clan dragon dragoon which now flies around the citadel in all its goony glory.

Overall, Goonscapers are some of the most easygoing, helpful, non-prick goons you’ll play with, even if we get mad at video games from time to time and have to be cared for like little babbys.

Slightly more popular is our mumble, which is occasionally populated by 5+ goons, all of whom are pretty rad. Don't be shy about suggesting mumble in the clan chat. If there are enough goons online, a good number will hop on to make fun of your nasally voice.

[P3]. Skills

Skills are the meat of this game. Almost everything revolves around training them to their maximum level of 99 (120 for Dungeoneering) and beyond, and below are quick and brief descriptions about each of them below (skills that are for members beyond level 5 are marked with a ♦):

Attack - Determines melee combat accuracy and ability to equip (most) melee weapons. Melee combat is strong against ranged, but weak against magic.

Strength - Determines how hard you hit with melee combat, and whether or not you can lift boulders above your head.

Defence - Your chance of avoiding taking damage, as well as what armours you’re capable of equipping.

Ranged - Your skill with ranged weapons, from bows to crossbows, and even chakrams for the Xenas at heart. Ranged is weak to melee, but strong against magic.

Prayer - How much the gods of Gilenor will grant benefits to you. Burying, offering and scattering bits of dead monsters and players will get this stat up.

Magic - A skill that works in both combat and skilling. You can cast spells using runes to hurt monsters, enchant jewelry, teleport and more. Magic is strong against melee but weak against ranged.

Runecrafting - Craft runes with rune essences, gain XP. Used to be far more tedious prior to the introduction of the Runespan and its Wicked Robes.

Construction ♦ - Build your own house in a magic portal, where you can show off your wealth, store items, and house pets.

Dungeoneering – More a minigame than a skill, it involves you and up to four other players delving deep underground butt-naked, using the skills you have to survive floor after floor as you go deeper and deeper. Fun content with great rewards.

Constitution – Your health. If it hits 0, you die. Raise it to improve your HP and healing from various foods.

Agility ♦ – Arguably the worst skill in the game, click on obstacle courses thousands of times to gain the ability to run across walls, but slip on the same log over and over.

Herblore ♦ – Highly expensive, highly useful, clean herbs and make them into potions that give all sorts of powerful boosts and benefits.

Thieving ♦ – Pick pockets of NPCs, get punched in the face, repeat. Loot urns in a pyramid, get bitten by snakes, repeat.

Crafting – Create armour out of dragon hides and mushroom spores, or create fancy jewelry with gold and gems. A somewhat versatile skill.

Fletching ♦ – A skill that lets you make the weapons and ammo you need for the Ranged skill. Cheap and even profitable, but very tedious.

Slayer ♦ - Compliments combat in general, get assigned by Slayer Masters to commit genocide on different groups of monsters, some you can’t kill without gimmicks or higher levels in the skill.

Hunter ♦ - Poach and trap wildlife for their hides and bones, or capture various implings in jars like Pokemon.

Divination ♦ - The newest skill, drain floating orbs and thrust your pelvis at glowing holes in the ground to gain the ability to craft skilling/gathering locations and items to heal you, revive you, or bank your items.

Mining - A skill entirely devoted to swinging your pick at rocks. Click on rocks over and over to get various ores.

Smithing - The complimentary skill to mining. Smelt the ores you mined into bars to create billions of metal armour and weapons to flood the economy with.

Fishing - Fish thousands of tuna, sharks, eels and lobsters in an attempt to extinct all marine life.

Cooking – Cook pizzas, pies, meat and more – or burn it all with the grace of a goon.

Firemaking – Originally a test skill, burn as many logs as you can in an attempt to burn a hole in the ozone layer.

Woodcutting – Clearcut your way through millions of trees to burn or fletch them, or sell it to others willing to forsake Mother Earth.

Farming ♦ – The ultimate afk skill, plant trees, herbs, bushes and other greenery to harvest and pick for profit in a world where papayas and coconuts have more value than gold bars.

Summoning ♦ – Collect charms, combine them with spirit pouches, spirit shards and a tertiary ingredient to summon creatures to do your bidding, whether that’s to hold your junk, brawl with your foes, or get stuck behind fences.

Invention ♦ – Innovate your gear with unique features and buffs, including the ability to make them-

Being a member gives all skills enhanced xp rates and better methods of training than free-to-play, as well as access to bonus xp which doubles xp rates and the occasional double xp weekends.



[P4]. Minigames

Membership will give you access to a variety of minigames, from the dead on arrival Rat Pits, to the pubbie infested xp scramble of Warbands in Gilenor’s wilderness. Some of the more noteworthy minigames are briefly described below, and you’ll come to discover others as you explore Runescape’s vast world.

Daily

Big Chinchompa - Run around catching butterflies so a giant chinchill- chinchompa tries to catch them and falls asleep. A very decent Hunter trainer you can do twice a day.

Shooting Star - Meteors smash down on random parts of Gilenor. Mine through them to save the Teletubby within for set rewards. Once daily.

Evil Tree - Trees Gone Wild. Not the kind of wood you want to wake up to in the morning! Chop them, burn them, and loot them. Twice daily.

Sinkholes - A mini version of Dungeoneering, find entrances randomly spawned throughout the world, pop in with four others and collect random junk for a chance at tokens and xp.

Weekly

Meg - Your biggest (and only) fan located in Player Owned Ports in Port Sarim (more on that later), give her advice on her adventures so she can succeed (or fail) and bring you back a treasure chest (gold and an xp lamp).

Penguin Hide and Seek - Hunt penguins in disguise all over Gilenor to gather points to turn in for cash or exp. Requires quests to get the full benefit.

Circus - Perform tiered tricks in a travelling circus for exp and costumes as obnoxious NPCs yell at you to DO SOMETHING!


Monthly

Troll Invasion - Fight back or guard against a bunch of trolls for a large xp reward :fut:

God Statues - Help a gnome build statues in the likeness of gods. Build the right one for an area to get prayer xp. Build the wrong one and you get to kill an rear end in a top hat fanatic for slayer xp.


Other

Player Owned Ports - Requires Level 90 in at least one of the minigame's skills to start. Send ships out on voyages that come and go in real time to gather goods in ~exotic~ Eastern lands to make high end gear to use or sell. Comes with bonus 'Asian' accent voiceovers done by Brits who have never spoken to one in their life.

Temple Trekking - Take to the swampy bog lands of Mortyania inhabited by ghosts and vampyres to assist different folks safely through the dangerous region. Rewards are versatile - xp boosting gear, xp books, and various materials to sell or use. Older content, but it stands up well against the test of time.








[P5]. Quests



Runescape is unique in its quests. There are close to 200 as of this writing, and they range from the soul crushingly awful poo poo puzzler, Elemental Workshop III to the epic battle for power in Ritual of the Mahjarrat. There's plenty of variety in-between as well - the scorching hot desert rescue called Stolen Hearts, the shadowy infiltration into the Branches of Darkmeyer, the flop of a Le Reddit hilarity that is Bringing Home the Bacon, and even a horror survival adventure that gives a nod to Resident Evil in the spooky good adventure of Broken Home.

Whether you're looking for quests that will delight you or slowly kill your will to live, Runescape has it all!

On a side note, Dungeoneering also comes with a series called the Dungeoneering Sagas – stories that you play out that revolve around Daemonheim. While they’re not ‘quests’, they are some of the most well-written, entertaining pieces of content Jagex has made to date and are an absolute must play.



[P6]. Treasure Hunter/Solomon's General Store



The game's source of microtransactions, Treasure Hunter (TH) provides in-game items that have benefits to boost your gameplay. The mascot for TH is a creepy girl named Alice, who stares at you with eyes that are empty voids while you open chests with Keys, earned in-game or by paying money/bonds. If you want to feel like a Runescape Superstar, buy hundreds of keys and use them all at once to get inventories full of useless items and xp.

Solomon's General Store also has microtransactions, leaning more towards cosmetic than beneficial. Get Runecoins through money/Bonds to buy overrides, emotes, and animations and pets. The store occasionally discounts items and provides freebies to members, as well as being merged with the Loyalty Shop - a system that racks up points based on unbroken membership time to be used on beneficial auras, as well as select items of Solomon's store.







[P7]. Extras

While these isn’t goon made, they are worth checking out:

Runeclan – A site that tracks the daily, weekly and monthly stat gains of Goonscape’s members. Useful for seeing which members are most active and who are the biggest poopsockers.

Ghetto Online – GTA meets Runescape 2. A mod in progress that looks to be extremely promising and amazing.

[P8b]. Goon Made Content

Here at Goonscape, you're encouraged to make lots of content posts. That could mean screenshots of awesome gains, pubbies being pubbies, cool recorded videos and guides, or chatlogs exposing Goonscapers for the giant nerds they are.

(If you want to take high quality png screenies in excess for cropping and sharing, I recommend getting Dropbox - it has a Print Screen feature that automatically snaps your screen and saves it instantly)

Now for the goonbrews!

Goonscape Bragging Sheet – A spreadsheet where goons can write down their current stats to see how they measure up to other goons (along with a bonus height sheet). Everyone is highly encouraged to add themselves to this and to update it from time to time!

Pizza Lady's Bank Cleaning Services – Since discovering just how messy goons are, I started a free bank cleaning service for goons. To date, 23 different goons have had their banks tidied, with some even getting Royal Crossbows forged and Jad being killed for them. If you have a bank in need of cleaning send me a message in game or by SA private message and we’ll arrange a time to get that thing spiffed up! Don’t believe me? See the results in the link for yourself, or check out some videos of the cleaning in action.

Faces of Runescape – If you ever wondered just what the Runescape community looks like, as well as what varied and well informed opinions they hold, wonder no more. Prepare yourself for a descent into a very ugly despair, here comes Faces of Runescape!

What luck! A crystal impling spawns in front of me! Time to world hop and...


Oh goody! Another one!


My Armadyl Battlestaff finally sold after sitting on the GE for ages. Excess stock is now cleared.


:fap:

Now that batch 2 of Elf City is released, let's see what implings I still have to catch..

Is that all then. I'm sure I'll get it eventually. For now, I'll try scrimshaws and see how that pans out!


First loot upon activation is a bird's nest with a spirit seed.


I turn it off to bank and do some things and come back and the first impling that pops out is a Dragon impling. Just what I needed!


I go to make Crystal Flasks near a levitating clay rock.


I return later to the trees and my scrimshaw's first impling is a Kingly.


When I'm off to grab some elder logs, I run into another Dragon impling!

Quality Rating
✭ - (Very Poor)
✭✭ - (Poor)
✭✭✭ - (Decent)
✭✭✭✭ - (Good)
✭✭✭✭✭ - (Great)
– Pizza Lady’s Pizza Pick

Magic Weapons

Wand of Treachery - ✭
You're in for a rough time if this is the best you can use. Low accuracy will prolong the fight and making winning a desperate uphill battle
Abyssal Wand - ✭✭
Wands have the advantage of being paired with a dragonfire shield, should you need it, but suffers from lower damage output. If at all possible, stick to staves.
Polypore Staff - ✭✭✭
Comes with its own special attack, Polypore Strike, which can allow you to save space on runes.
Staff of Light - ✭✭✭
Has a small chance of reducing rune usage when casting spells.
Armadyl Battlestaff - ✭✭✭✭✭
The best non-degradable magic staff in the game that also functions as an air staff, providing infinite air runes. A very solid choice, especially as a backup to your ranged weapon.
Chaotic Staff - ✭✭✭✭✭
Provides higher accuracy than the Armadyl staff, but at the cost of requiring air runes and degrading. It also takes a long time to obtain due to requiring 200k Dungeoneering tokens.

Ranged Weapons

Armadyl Crossbow - ✭
It comes with no off-hand counterparts, but you can pair it with a shield or off-hand ranged weapon. Your last line of defence.
Crystal Bow - ✭
Comes without the need for arrows, but against the Queen, this is a great disadvantage if you can make Dragonbane.
Sagaie - ✭✭
Slightly better than the Armadyl crossbow and Crystal bow, but also lacks an off-hand counterpart. The good news is that it's cheap.
Hand Cannon - ✭✭
Comes with its own ammunition type, but a Jagex update has given this weapon a chance to explode, making it a cheap but risky weapon of choice.
Zaryte Bow - ✭✭✭✭
Also comes with free arrows and high accuracy, but the inability to wield Dragonbane as well as its high cost makes it unfavorable for the Queen.
Chaotic Crossbow - ✭✭✭✭✭
Has an off-hand variant and allows the wielding of Dragonbane - unfortunately, it's expensive at 300k Dungeoneering tokens, and two times the degradables should you perish.
Royal Crossbow - ✭✭✭✭✭
A most solid weapon against the Queen, on top of being extremely cheap for a tier 80 weapon. The only problem? You need to fuse the bow together on the 4th stage of fighting the Queen to start using it!

Special Ranged Ammunition

Dragonbane bolts - ✭✭✭✭✭
An arrow variant also exists, and to get this requires completion of the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest. However, it is the absolute best ammo to use against the Queen, and should you have it, consider whatever weapon you're using it with to have an extra ✭.

Magic Armour

Batwing Robes - ✭
You’re in for some hard hits if this is all you have – eat up!
Grifolic Armour - ✭✭
Degrades but offers a lot more armour than Batwing.
Subjugation Robes - ✭✭✭
Trades defence for extra magic punch, and has the benefit of being non-degrading.
Ganodermic Armour - ✭✭✭
Unlike the Subjugation robes, it provides a much sturdier defence but no extra magic strength.
Virtus Armour - ✭✭✭✭
Degradable, but provides a solid boost to magic attacks.
Seasinger’s Robes - ✭✭✭✭
Degrades, but works as tanking armour. Add an extra star for the superior version.

Ranged Armour
Royal Dragonhide - ✭✭
Solid defence, especially since the Queen mainly deals ranged damage when typed.
Armadyl Armour - ✭✭✭
More costly than dragonhide, but provides a nice ranged damage boost to attacks, on top of being non-degradable.
Pernix Armour - ✭✭✭✭
Degrades, but provides more ranged damage and armour than Armadyl armour.
Death Lotus Armour - ✭✭✭✭
Ranged tanking armour, add another star for the superior version.

Other Armour

Full Slayer Helmet - ✭✭✭✭✭
Use only if you’re on a black dragons task with a Slayer Master. This will provide you with the slayer accuracy and damage bonus against the Queen, making bossing against her much much easier.
Dragon Rider Armour - ✭✭✭
An armour set that provides general defence against all combat styles – pricey, but may be a good alternative if you use both ranged and magic together.
Warpriest Armour - ✭✭✭✭
Has stats equivalent to tier 60 dragon armour at its best, but is a hybrid set, allowing combat in any style without penalty. The Zamorak and Saradomin sets also provide a chance to block close to all damage, so it is a solid armour to use against the queen.
Amulet of Glory - ✭✭✭
A cheap alternative to other amulets if you can’t get anything better.
Dragon Rider Necklace - ✭✭✭✭✭
Requires completion of One of a Kind, but provides some of the best bonuses for the necklace slot.
Ava’s Alerter - ✭✭✭
A solid item for the backpack slot for ranging. Unfortunately, it cannot collect ammo in the Queen’s room because :jagex:
99 Skill Cape - ✭✭✭
If you have 99 in a skill, this is a good cape to use for decent bonuses.
Reefwalker’s Cape - ✭✭✭✭
A very sturdy cape which has unfortunately been nerfed severely by Jagex (it is now only 32.5% of its former glory!), but still a useful cape for bossing, due to it’s armour, life and attack bonuses. The superior version gives it an extra ✭.
Explorer’s Ring 4 - ✭
If you have nothing better, this provides a tiny boost to combat.
Sixth Age Circuit - ✭✭✭✭
Requires completion of The World Wakes and extra quests to obtain, but it’s one of the best rings in the game.
Leviathan Ring - ✭✭✭✭
A sturdy ring that also go the Jagex nerf treatment. It does however, come with a chance to block an attack’s damage by 50%. Superior version gets an extra ✭.
Dragonfire Shield - ✭
If you’re using one handed weapons and have no access to Super Antifire, this may be what you need to survive against the Queen.

Extras

Ardougne Cloak - ✭✭✭✭✭
This and it’s upgraded variants can be equipped if you don’t have a better cape, but its most useful feature is it can instantly teleport you to a monastery where you can quickly recharge prayer points and get right back to bossing.
Captain’s Log - ✭✭✭✭✭
Requires level 90 in at least one Ports skill, but provides quick teleport close to the Queen’s Lair. If you have the Workshop in Ports upgraded, you can also use it as a bank, making this the best home base for Queen bossing.
Sign of Item Protection - ✭✭
Equip in the pocket slot. When you die, one other item will be protected upon death, raising the number of kept items to four (three if you aren’t using Protect Item prayer). If you don’t have that many degradable items, this is useless, since you can get to your gravestone very easily.
Sign of Life - ✭✭✭✭
Equip in your pocket slot, and you’ll be revived with a small portion of your health if you hit 0. It has a one hour cooldown, but useful to have in the case of accidental death or lag.
Vampyrism - ✭✭✭✭✭
A great loyalty shop aura that gives you back a small % of your health relative to the damage you output for one hour. Cooldown of three hours. The timer continues to run even when logged out, so make the most of your hour!

Healing

Monkfish - ✭✭
The cheapest healing item you can get away with before recovery starts to really suffer.
Shark - ✭✭✭✭
Sharks are plentiful and easy to obtain, and offers solid and cheap healing.
Cavefish - ✭✭✭✭
Heals slightly more than sharks, and provides a small stat boost to random combat stats.
Rocktail - ✭✭✭✭
Heals ever so slightly more than cavefish. A more pricey alternative to sharks if you have the money and Constitution level for it.
Rocktail Soup - ✭✭✭✭✭
An upgrade to rocktails that can also heal past your maximum health, but at a premium cost.
Saradomin Brew - ✭✭✭✭
Saradomin brews should only be used in conjunction with Overloads, due to their combat stat reducing effect. However, it heals 1,000 HP per dose and doesn’t reduce adrenaline, and in a regular vial you can have up to 4, with flasks holding 6, allowing anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 HP of healing per inventory slot.

Familiars

Spirit Terrorbird - ✭✭
The lowest level familiar advised for the Queen, Spirit Terrorbirds can hold up to 12 items and will retaliate against the Queen, though not for much damage.
War Tortoise - ✭✭
An expensive alternative to the Terrorbird, War Tortoises hold up to 18 items and also attack the Queen. Not recommended unless you have a desperate need for food.
Bunyip - ✭✭✭✭
In exchange for extra inventory slots, the Bunyip heals a small percentage of your hitpoints at a steady rate. Combined with other hitpoint healing benefits, you can potentially get through fights with little to no food if you’re a good enough fighter.
Unicorn Stallion - ✭✭✭
The Unicorn requires scrolls to heal, so you actively need to command it to benefit, but it can heal more at a time than the Bunyip.
Pack Yak - ✭✭✭✭✭
Cheap considering it can hold up to 30 items and even send things to the bank with its scrolls, but requires a staggeringly high Summoning level of 96 to command. Good for prolonged stays at the Queen.

Potions

Super Magic - ✭✭✭
Pricey, but boosts magic by a good amount.
Extreme Magic - ✭✭✭✭
All extremes are untradable, upgraded versions of their super counterparts.
Super Ranging - ✭✭✭
Also pricey, boosts ranged.
Extreme Ranging - ✭✭✭✭
Upgraded version of Super Ranging.
Super Defence - ✭✭✭
A very cheap way to boost defence.
Extreme Defence - ✭✭✭✭
Upgraded version of Super Defence.
Overload - ✭✭✭✭✭
The ultimate in combat boosting, Overloads boosts all your combat stats, gives you a damage bonus, and stats don’t slowly drop – instead they stay steady and die all at once after your ~5 minute boost runs out. Expensive to make, and requires high Herblore (though you can boost).
Antifire - ✭✭
If you don’t have the Herblore needed for Super Antifire, this will be needed to help curb the painful flames of the Queen.
Super Antifire - ✭✭✭✭✭
While it doesn’t block all dragon breath damage due to the intensity of the Queen’s flames, it does reduce it significantly that it’s a must to boss against her efficiently.
Prayer Potion - ✭✭✭
Restores prayer points. Standard to have in your fights.
Super Prayer - ✭✭✭
Restores more prayer points, but requires higher Herblore and isn’t tradeable.
Prayer Renewal - ✭✭✭✭
Gradually restores prayer over 5 minutes, requires high Herblore. If you’re using a heavy amount of prayer, do not expect this to keep your prayer from completely draining – keep a prayer potion to top off as needed.
Super Restore - ✭✭✭
Restores lowered stats, prayer points and summoning points. You don’t really need this for the Queen, as prayer restoration is all that’s needed, and there’s a mini obelisk right outside her lair.
Adrenaline - ✭✭✭✭
Not needed, but handy to have if you use ultimate abilities and want to quickly build up to use thresholds for quicker kills. Has a cooldown time between uses.

GETTING THERE

Getting to the Queen is easy. You can simply teleport to Port Sarim, use the Explorer’s Ring to teleport to the Cabbage patch, Captain’s Log to teleport directly into Ports, or use the Clan Vexillum to teleport to the Clan Camp. The below image will show you how to get to the Queen from the Port Sarim Lodestone



Once you arrive, recharge summoning if needed at the mini obelisk, enter the cave, and descend the stairs.



If you have 60 agility, you can use the shortcut to get to the bottom of the cave right away. Otherwise, you’re in for a long traverse down to her lair.



Once you’re down there, enter the summoning portal and you’ll be teleported to the queen! Turn up the music, prepare to drink your potions, and get those prayers ready – you’re in for the fight of your life!


FIGHTING THE QUEEN – SUPER BASIC GUIDE
If this is your first time fighting the Queen, here is a very basic guide, an edited version of my previous one to give you an idea of how each fight flows. Once you’ve got that down, proceed to the Advanced guide for tips to make fights go quicker and better!

BE ATTENTIVE AT ALL TIMES. Beginners especially should pay attention to their chat box to see important messages indicating what the queen will do next. Watch your health and prayer, as well as how long your potions will last! Checking once a phase until you get an idea of how long it lasts is a good idea.
KEEP YOUR HEALTH HIGH. This is especially important in Phase 4. Your chance of instant death is highest in this phase, so this is where you want to keep health at around 75% if not higher.
TOGGLE HIDE FAMILIAR OPTIONS ON Hit Esc, go to Game Settings, and toggle Hide Familiar Options so that you won't accidentally click them while fighting.
USE THE FAMILIAR SCREEN TO TAKE OUT FOOD If you’re using a Beast of Burden (Terrorbird, Tortoise, Yak), have your familiar tab on and use the button that lets you automatically take items from the familiar. That way, if you’re out of food in your inventory, you can quickly fill it again with what your familiar is holding.
SET YOUR FOOD TO YOUR ABILITY BAR Rather than clicking on food rapidly and accidentally dragging it ever so slightly so that you don't consume it, set the food to a hotkey so when you need to eat you can just hit the button. This makes a world of difference.
MAKE THAT ABILITY BAR PERFECT Set up your ability bar to have all (or most) of the abilities you'll need to survive. Certain abilities might come at vital times so you'll want to be ready to use at a moment’s notice.


Battleground Layout

PHASE 1 OF 4

● Once you're in the chamber, the awesome boss music starts, and the Queen begins to awaken from her slumber. You have about 14 seconds to drink your potions, steel your guts and turn on your quick prayer. Once she roars at you and closes her mouth, she's about to make her first attack. Auto-retaliate on is perfect since you will strike her once she becomes attackable,

● If you are not within melee range, her attacks are going to do ranged damage. Make sure to have proper ranged prayers on!

● She will occasionally breathe dragonfire on you. This is unblockable even with super antifires, but it will reduce damage.

● Once in a while, she will make a big breath of fire. Get ready to move! You'll know it's about to happen when she tilts her head back and red text appears in your chat. There will be one space open in the flame wave that you can stand or run through to avoid damage. Standing there will result in two hits. At worst, run through it and take damage once, or if you time it right, no damage at all.

Stay where you spawned for this phase, except to avoid the fire wave.


PHASE 2 OF 4

● You did it! You survived phase 1! NOW CLICK THAT PILLAR IN FRONT OF YOU. The pillar stops her from spitting out grotworms continuously and is necessary to continue the phase. If you click the pillar right away, no grotworms will spawn and you can immediately begin your assault again. For this phase, stay towards the left. The next pillar will light up behind you but DO NOT stand on the semi translucent force field floor! Doing so will cause 1500 damage every few seconds! Stay near it but not on it!

● Depending on how long it took you to get to this phase, you may need to drink some potion to restore your prayer.

● The fire wall attacks now have TWO waves. If you have no choice but to run through, using your food hotkey as you run past will keep you safe. There’s one other danger and that is..

● ..the TORMENTED SOUL. Purple text will appear in your text box to warn you this bastard is about to spawn! Once the text appears, STAND STILL AND WAIT FOR THE SOUL TO SPAWN. This rear end in a top hat creates a chaotic cloud that deals 1,000+ untyped damage where you're standing. However, it can hurt other enemies too! So if you get the cloud to hit the soul, he suffers! They will always spawn in a certain position depending on the phase. For phase 2, the soul appears to your LEFT. As soon as you see text appear above his head, GO LEFT. :goleft: Timing this right will cause the cloud to hit the prick. Finish him off! Otherwise he'll respawn after a few seconds and create another cloud. Alternatively, if you fail the timing and the cloud is still chasing you, killing the soul fast will make it and the cloud disappear!

PHASE 3 OF 4

● Once you drain the last of her life bar, immediately run to and click the pillar behind you (it should've turned red). Once your character has started to activate it, click to have your character run back to the main platform! If done right, your character will activate the pillar then make a very quick dash back to normal ground, preventing any damage. However, one grotworm will usually spawn from this, so prepare to fight it or take magical damage. Stay on the right side this time, the next pillar turns on there.

● Check your prayer and antifire!

● Fire walls have another wave! You know what to do.

● Tortured souls now spawn in a pair. That's a lot of damage if you don't dodge their attacks! They appear on the left and right side of you so go either way, right as text appears above their heads. Proper timing will cause one of the souls to eat both hits and likely die, leaving you with only one soul to kill!

● From this phase onward, you may be notified the Queen has changed resistances and you'll see her hide change colour. PAY ATTENTION. She may get weak to melee/ranged hits, or magical. A light blue hide will make it much easier to deal melee and ranged dmage. A green and purple hide means magic weakness. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. Hit her with everything you got! Both weakness modes however last only for about a minute or until her health is drained before she reverts back to normal.

PHASE 4 OF 4

This is the most dangerous phase, so do NOT lose focus or you will die! Immediately run to the pillar behind you and activate it like before, running to safe ground as fast as you can.

● Your prayer and antifire are still okay right?

● Tortured souls are very dangerous here. FOUR OF THEM SPAWN. They will appear diagonally this time, so as soon as text appears above a head, run past one of them and that soul should eat all the hits, leaving you with three to quickly take down. If not, start eating rapidly to max out your health! Taking all four of the hits is going to hurt a lot and if ill prepared, will cause immediate death.

● The Queen now has a new super hot breath attack. It's completely unavoidable and you will see the warning in the public tab as her preparing to breathe extremely hot fire. Unless you need to forge the Royal Crossbow, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT STAND IN THE MIDDLE IN THIS PHASE. AVOID THE MIDDLE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Even if you need to avoid the tortured souls, remember to go in a direction that moves you away from the middle. Otherwise you'll be hit three times for damage in the thousands and possibly kill you.

● That's not all. There may be a FIFTH soul that appears that will really screw you over. If you don't kill it within about 8-10 seconds of appearance, time will freeze for you and you'll take a bunch of damage that hits all at once.. This guy may appear any time so stay attentive of a soul THAT HAS THEIR TEXT IN ALL CAPS!! and kill him immediately.

● Fire wall waves have again increased by one. While these are happening, you do not need to worry about the super hot breath attack.

● This is the most dangerous phase, so hit the queen with everything as fast as you can!


PHASE 5 OF 4

This is the easiest part! The middle one will now glow red! All you have to do is click it and you're safe! The queen will sleep, the enemies will crumble, and a chamber will appear for you to go inside! Wipe that sweat off your brow and collect your goods! Take some of the items or bank it all. You did it! Congrats on your Queen Black Dragon Kill!



FIGHTING THE QUEEN – SUPER ADVANCED GUIDE
Okay, now you’re an expert at killing the Queen, or you want some more detailed tips to get you faster kills. Not to fear, here is more information and tricks that let you get the most of each fight!

PRAYERS/CURSES
If your Prayer isn’t at least 95, it is recommended you stick to regular prayers as opposed to curses

PRAYER

These are the prayers you are recommended to use. You can toggle off Protect Item depending on how many degradeables you have, and switch between Rigour and Augury depending on if you’re fighting with Ranged or Magic.

CURSES

These are the recommended curses. Choose between Deflect Ranged and Soul Split, and Anguish and Torment. Deflect Ranged is recommended if you can’t output enough damage to make the healing from Soul Split worthwhile. Anguish is used for Ranged, Torment for Magic.

ABILITY BAR
Depending on whether or not you’re fighting with Ranged or Magic, here are my recommended ability bar setups for both. Descriptions of attacks that should be used are below.

RANGED


Piercing Shot – Deals slightly less than your weapon damage, but it’s quick and refreshes fast. Starting or restarting an attack on the queen will result in a non-ability shot with Piercing Shot, resulting in two quick hits of damage.
Dazing Shot – Deals slightly more than your weapon damage, but has a slightly longer cooldown. It also decreases your next enemy’s attack accuracy slightly. Good to alternate back and forth with Piercing Shot.
Sacrifice – A Constitution ability obtained either from God Wars bosses, or from the World Event 2. This attack does 100% weapon damage and heals 25% of the damage dealt. If the attack kills the enemy, it’ll heal 100% - however, the attack has a high tendency to leave a small amount of HP for enemies, making it near useless to use for its intended purpose. However, it is useful for finishing off tortured souls to get an HP boost. Using this on the Queen to finish a phase does NOT give 100% healing.
Binding Shot – An attack that binds and stuns your opponent. Doesn’t actually stun the Queen.
Fragmentation Shot – An attack that has a bleed effect, causing damage five times over several seconds.
Rapid Fire – A threshold attack that deals as much damage as Piercing Shot eight times. This is a very strategic ability that requires some thought before use to get the most out of it.
Bombardment – A threshold attack with an approximate 3x3 square hit range. Hits twice, with the final shot usually doing more damage.
Ricochet – An attack that can hit two extra targets randomly. Used on the Queen, it’ll rarely hit any of her grotworms or minions. It is most useful when dealing with a swarm of tormented souls or grotworms.
Snap Shot – A threshold attack that hits twice. The second shot has a chance at double damage. A good quick threshold.
Death’s Swiftness – An ultimate ability unlocked by the World Wakes quest. This attack allows you to have 50% increased damage as long as you’re in its shroud.
Shadow Tendrils – A threshold attack that requires completion of the Dig Site quest and its Codex Ultimatus. It deals damage to you before doing the same to your enemy. A risky move that can do anywhere from average to high damage against the Queen.


MAGIC


Wrack – The magic equivalent of Piercing Shot.
Sonic Wave – An extra strong attack that also increases your next attack’s accuracy. Similar to Dazing Shot.
Combust – Equivalent to Fragmentation Shot.
Impact – Equivalent to Binding Shot.
Sacrifice
Chain – Equivalent to Ricochet, but seems to activate slightly faster.
Asphyxiate – Threshold attack similar to Rapid Fire, with some differences.
Dragon Breath – An attack that can hit multiple targets within a certain range for close to double the weapon damage. Extra damage when the Dragon Rider Amulet is equipped.
Wild Magic – A quick threshold similar to Snap Shot, but with a greater variation chance in both hits’ damage.
Metamorphosis – Ultimate ability similar to Death’s Swiftness, but with differences – it makes your spells free to cast, and the 50% bonus applies anywhere as long as the ability is in effect.

LOADOUT
To give you a visual idea of what to expect, here is what your inventory and equipped gear would ideally look like:


DETAILED GUIDE TO PHASES
Now that you have all this information, it’s time to show you how through go through these phases with Ranged as your main form of offense, with Magic being your backup. You can also substitute this game plan with just Ranged or Magic only if you desire, but the effectiveness of having both combat styles at the ready can speed things up greatly.

First, here is the spots you should be standing on whenever possible for each of the phases. [i]I also highly recommend you have Revolution on with ability queueing, for the next part of this guide will assume you do and it makes combat flow much smoother.



The reason will be explained as each phase comes along.

:megaman: PHASE ONE :megaman:

● Start off the phase by taking one step forward to the pillar, drinking your Super Antifire and combat stat boosting potions as the Queen awakens. When it’s Overloads, I prefer to wait until she roars at you before drinking the dose, sometimes even until my first attack, due to the fact that Overloads last a minute shorter than Super Antifire, and has a tendency to terminate prematurely anywhere from 10-20 seconds left on their timer. Make sure to hit your Quick Prayers once she stops roaring as well, and activate the Vampyrism Aura if you haven’t already.
● Your priority always, is to get each phase finished as quickly as possible. Here, you want to let you adrenaline build up past 50% as fast as possible to deal thresholds. If you have an Adrenaline potion, feel free to dose to speed things up, but as soon as your adrenaline passes the 50% mark, queue Snapshot immediately, so that as soon as your regular attack finishes, you hit with the threshold right away.
● Your adrenaline will now drop under 50%, so do the same as before, except this time, use Bombardment. The reason I prefer Bombardment over Rapid Fire at this point is because your adrenaline will again drop below 50%, and the long time it takes to unleash Rapid Fire could be spent building up your adrenaline.
● If the Queen hasn’t already had her life drained, keep attacking and use Rapid Fire here if necessary. As soon as the pillar in front of you turns red, click it and then run immediately to the Phase 2 spot shown below.
● There is one neat trick if you use Rapid Fire at the end of this phase that is strategic. If you start the attack but empty the Queen’s life bar before the attack is finished and you click the pillar immediately, you will finish your remaining attack, even if you click to run to the next spot. This means you can start Phase 2 with two extra hits done to the Queen, making full use of Rapid Fire.
● Another trick you can use if you have to run around the arena is to activate attacks on occasion as you click on the spot you need to be at. Continuing to click while you do this lets you fire off shots as you’re running to improve overall DPS.



:megaman: PHASE TWO :megaman:
● When you click to move to the phase two spot, your character will be shown still activating the pillar, but by then you’re technically already at the spot. So as the pillar activation sound plays, set off an attack, whether that’s Snapshot again or a regular attack and you’ll fire off a hit minimizing time waste. If you did the leftover Rapid Fire trick, that will provide you with a continuous stream of damage against the Queen.
● The Queen has a very high chance of summoning a tormented soul at this point, especially if you start Rapid Fire in this phase, so be ready to run to the left. The soul has about a 50% of bugging out thanks to :jagex: so be ready to possibly eat damage, or if you’re lucky, still run past the soul as it moves or kill it off. If you have Sacrifice and it’s charged, use it as your followup attack after the first hit for a good chance at healing for 100% of your damage.
● If the Queen breathes her fire wave, make a decision on what to do – if you’re lucky, the fire will have an opening on the spot you’re standing on, allowing you to continue your attack. If not, choose to either move to the middle or right to dodge the fire, or run through it in hopes of taking little to no damage. If you’re close to ending the phase, you might find it more beneficial to simply try and kill the Queen as fast as possible.
● One thing to note about the fire breath attack is killing the Queen as she breathes it or is about to cancels out the attack, but sometimes, a fire wave will be released anyway upon pillar activation. You should also turn off your Quick Prayers as long as the fire waves are being spit out to save on precious points. You can also feel free to toggle it off before the soul appears, then turn it back on once text appears over its head.
● If you’re using Ranged, particularly the Royal Crossbow as the guide expects you to, there is a strategy to get through the fight without any grotworms being spawned. Once you see her health is low enough that the next phase will turn on the next pillar, fire off an attack, whether a regular one or Snapshot, then start clicking on the pillar that is to be activated. As long as the ability bar shows the abilities refreshing, your attack will be made even as you’re running. With a bit of luck, the attack will drain her life bar, and the pillar will turn red, and you’ll already be halfway to it, giving the Queen no chance to spawn a worm. The Royal Crossbow is best for this because you can stand at the very edge of the main floor and attack, while magic staves don’t have as much range.
● In any case, once your character starts to activate the pillar, click on the spot you were originally standing at. Once the animation shows the pillar turn blue, click on the Phase 3 spot shown below. The reason you don’t want to click too soon is lovely pathfinding means you’ll run on the semi-translucent floor to the next spot, instead of heading back to the arena first, dealing you 1500-3000 damage.
● While you’re in mid phase, you should also be toggling your prayer off to save points, and activating it again once you’re on the main arena.



:megaman: PHASE THREE :megaman:

● Once you reach the spot you need to be at, start attacking away as usual. At some point in this phase, you may consider using Death’s Swiftness if you have the ability. If you’re also standing on the correct spot as she does a fire wave, the opening should be where you’re standing as you use this, sparing you a few seconds of worrying whether or not to move or eat the hits. Because Death’s Swiftness gives you a massive attack boost, it is recommended to either use it towards the end of this phase or at the beginning of the fourth.
● If tormented souls are spawned, be sure to run either left or right – one of the souls usually :jagex:es out so hopefully you got lucky and ran past the right one! If not, try to kill off one of them as you run away to kill off at least one of their chaotic clouds.
● The Queen starts to change to either crystal (melee/ranged weakness) or hardened carapace (magic weakness). If she uses crystal, deal your best ranged thresholds, and even consider eating some food and unleashing Shadow Tendrils if you have it for massive damage. If she becomes weak to magic, equip your magic weapon and quickly swap to your magic abilities (Shift + #) and use thresholds for that, Asphyxiate being the life bar killer of choice. Be sure to click on either Augury or Torment for your prayers as well. Quickly toggling on and off Quick Prayer will reset the prayers back to the Ranged versions after you’re done.
● If the Queen is close enough to dead and you’re ranging her as she changes to magic weakness, it may be easier to simply finish her off with Ranged. If you have Slayer and Dragonbane ammo especially, your accuracy will still be 100% and it saves you the trouble of weapon/ability switching.



:megaman: PHASE FOUR :megaman:

● As with the previous phase, start running to the next pillar once the Queen’s life bar is about to drain completely. Preventing a grotworm spawn will be slightly harder if you are using a stave however. Once activated, run to the spot shown below. However, if you have Death’s Swiftness still activated, run back to the center of its shroud, at least until it’s over to get your damage boost. If you were using magic, be sure to switch back to Ranged weapon and abilities as you run back to the main arena.
● If you haven’t already, now is a good time to use Death’s Swiftness. An adrenaline potion dose is ideal now if you have it, and fire off as many thresholds as you can before it runs out. The damage is massive, and properly done, you can finish the most dangerous phase in as little as 10 seconds.
● The tormented souls seem to bug out a lot if you stand at the edge of the arena here, which is why I recommend standing closer to the center. This also gives you more options to run to. Should the souls bug out, don’t fret. Once their text appears, simply run past the closest soul you can and manipulate the chaotic clouds to intercept souls or grotworms. Bugging out is sometimes actually easier to deal with because you get two chaotic clouds twice instead of four at once, allowing you ample time to heal between hits if needed.
● The time stopper tormented soul likes to appear, either on the extreme left or extreme right. If you’re too far to the right and it spawns to the left, the game’s lovely draw distance results in that time stopper soul ‘vanishing’ but continuing to charge its attack, so be careful and don’t stay too far to the right! But don’t stay too close to the middle either or that super hot breath will toast you.
● Often if you are close to ending this phase, it may be more beneficial to just brute force attacking the queen, ignoring tormented souls and fire waves, since the end of the phase means almost sure victory.



:megaman: LAST PHASE :megaman:

● Once this activates, ignore everything else and run for the final pillar. Eat as you do this if you are sustaining damage and low on life, but go for that pillar. Chaotic clouds, tormented souls, and most grotworms will die out if it activates. If the Queen is doing her super hot breath attack however, you will still take all three hits, but being on the semi translucent floor will do the reduced damage and not maximum, even if you are standing center of her. Fire waves will also continue to move and damage, so be aware of that. Grotworms sometimes bug during spawning and will continue to stay on the arena. In any case, the activation of this pillar causes the stairs in the center to appear, and head down there right away, unless you plan on collecting any dropped bolts and arrows.
● In the coffer room, depending on whether or not you are going for another immediate kill, quickly loot and bank your items, use regenerate, and drink a dose of prayer potion as needed. If you’re on overloads and getting kills around 2 – 2 ˝ minutes, you want to be out of that room as quick as possible so the overload doesn’t die out in the final phase. You can worry about eating to heal once adrenaline healing is used up, and while you wait for the queen to awaken.

No no, Casinos is the pubbie who had his Runescape account and passport stolen by his ex-girlfriend in Australia. The dog fucker is Chair, the 120 agility pubbie.


..Then again maybe they both have 120 agility. :ohdear:

Don't talk to pubbies. Not even once.

That is going in the edited Wall of Pubbies.


Here's some exciting statements and changes being made by Jagex:

quote:

- The bloodwood tree will not be removed, as it forms a graphical centrepiece to the dungeon. Feel free to ignore it!
Nice way of telling pubbies to gently caress off!

quote:

- Supreme overload will not boost a player's stats to 120. This would be too powerful.
2 extra levels for a potion that costs more than double a regular overload even with 2 extra doses added on top of paying the recipe price is too much!!

quote:

- It is not technically feasible to show other players completing obstacles on the agility course
Engine limitations~

quote:

- We will not be increasing the XP gained from the harps. Instead, we feel it is better to reduce the dust required to make many of the crystal items
Or.. you could make the tools actually useful??

quote:

- We will not be able to make a crystal or elf POH skin at this time. We would have to develop, graphically create and test a new version of every room in Construction
poo poo code~

quote:

- Shadow creatures will have no combat changes, but their Divination XP will be improved
lovely gimmicks stay

quote:

- The obelisks will not allow teleportation to Familiarisation. We want to give players reasons to travel outside of the city

quote:

Players dying in Hardcore mode will now have their cause of death broadcasted and saved in the Hardcore hiscore table.
About time

quote:

Araxyte arrows may now be used with dyed noxious bows.
Should we make sure our tier 90 weapon can be used after it's permanently changed cosmetically? Nahhh.

quote:

Crystal hatchets and pickaxes now appear in the player's gravestone if lost on death.
So... they would just disappear forever prior?

quote:

Players can now use a crystal hatchet to chop down teak trees in Etceteria.
:jagex:

quote:

Ghost Hunter armour will no longer count towards the 3 pieces requirement for triggering Warpriest armour's damage reduction effect.
How about letting us add it to the loving POH already.

quote:

Using a potion flask on a combination potion no longer causes players to disconnect.
:jagex:

quote:

The minimum number of players required to start a Soul Wars game has been lowered to five per team.
Gee I wonder why. :allears:

quote:

Players will no longer take damage from the Queen Black Dragon's fire waves after touching the final crystal.
Now how about fixing the tortured souls?

Chance upon another Crystal impling? Yes please.


First sheep I murder lets me win.






Series of easy treasure trails (plus one hard), including one with a God page and the new offhand black crossbow.


Endy confirms - Magres loves wood :gizz:


Nice Jagex! Taking dragonfire damage before dragonfire runs out, good content.


More pubbie examines, including a Redditor.


What is spellcheck?


Important priority fix on these next week!!


You know that new quest? It's based on magic! But it had me... wand-ering why the... staff didn't add voice acting to it! You'd think they'd add least.. conjure up a couple of voice actors! And geez they can't even get the... spelling right!

Oh... Oh my. This is just precious. :allears:

Transgender poster on the RSOF complains about Jagex's LGBT censor. Pubbies react accordingly. This is like Dwarf's thread but with more sincerity.

Some highlights:


THINK OF THE CHILDREN!! :supaburn:


:pedophiles:


As a straight white male playing as a waifu
:goonsay:


Please do not tell us you're queer, some of us find that icky.


:whitewater: The dictionary says *** means ********** and furthermore, I don't tell people I'm straight, why are you shoving your identity in my face via examine text?!


Transgenders are freaks.


lmao black people xd

Thread lock:

Saying you're gay in a player examine is controversial and not all parts of the world think being LGBT is right so THREAD LOCK.

That's why I got 99 firemaking when enlightenment during summer was a thing on burning curly roots for like 480k xp per hour, so I never get those goddamn worthless challenges ever again.

Also Themata you need to add our defender guides to Magres's guide or add a new Defender BA guide to the OP so Goons starting Barb rear end don't struggle if they do defender.

I did, you would know if you read the OP.

If you want to make money while fighting at a low level, you should fight cockroach soldiers/workers. they have fairly good normal drops and occasionally drop a rune scimitar or square shield.

On members, you can also take a bunch of thread and high alch the carapace tops as you make them. Extra $$ your way.

You could also do cows on F2P and P2P. Turn a bunch of cowhides into hard leather boots and sell them to the shop for 300 GP each, or high alch for double, minus rune costs.

Do you regularly attempt completely impossible feats or....?

I am very upset by the sheer amount of disrespect and insults towards poor little me lately. Where is your holiday spirit?!

Hawt Jon wanted his bank cleaned but also wanted me to leave his stuff above charms as is. I was irrationally angry, upset and confused the entire time I cleaned his bank and cried myself to sleep as a result.



:catstare:


Magres a sick pervert who likes wood confirmed.

So I was doing quick easy tasks through the Canafis guy to get my elite Karmaja quick, and guess what dropped for me again?


Continuing the streak of weird luck,

I somehow manage to guess 1/2 and 1/3 of Safety's casket value.

Further continuing that,

I get near back to back Saradomin gear drops. The task ended with me obtained 3/6 pieces.


If you need disgustingly awful pubbie chat material, look no further than Zezima's.

More weird luck:

Upgrading my pet house gave me exactly enough for 94 construction on top of getting me that very last golden rock I needed.

I added a image reference guide to the OP for newbies and old timers getting back into the game:


Here are highlights from bullying fake Santa today with Billyginkers:


Blasting Santa. Of ghost, he keeps making noise, so he's gun-na get shot.


Billy farting on the old fart because his incessant ho ho hoing made us blow a gas-ket.


Me kicking Santa in the belly. I'm gutted that he was able to stomach that without flinching.


Casting a spell on the fat bastard. If he had stormed out, we would've rained supreme.


I call Death over to teach him a lesson. We're sickle of his noise... he reapered what he sowed.


I transform and club him in the head. Sorry Guthix, I got sick of having to Lucien to his blabbering.


We show Santa what we want to do to him. Our expressions are grave, we have dirt on him, and we want to shovel it into his mouth cause he just makes tomb much noise.

For simplicity's sake, let's just imagine half your trees live and half die.

Assuming 8 trees are planted and protected and all live, you're spending 2,092k GP (261.5k per).

Assuming 8 are planted and 4 die so you have to plant 4 more, and of those 4, 2 more die and of those 2, 1 dies so you replant that, you're spending 2,610k GP (174k per).

That's assuming it actually is 1 in every 2 trees dying and not getting screwed over more by the RNG which you already claimed several times is kicking your butt, so your losses are potentially more substantial, as opposed to the 100% guaranteed rate paying 261.5k per tree which would save you a ton of time and stress from raging over being a Butt Farmer crop dusting your trees to death.

You could also just boost to do fellstalk but you find that way too :effort: too so :nallears:

Also it's half the cost of the magic tree seed itself to protect, not 75%. Hmm.

Don't pay for protection. Save money for prayer, a skill that's actually useful.

Interestingly enough, the pull and pray method is 82% effective while protection is only 83%. Good advice from Simsmagic the Sonic Loving Tumblr Nerd.

In other news, in the Great Farming Protection Debate, Reed Seeds are totally worth protecting. Planting a set of reeds costs about 15k, yields around 40k of produce, and protection costs about 1.5k.

Are you going by GE price? Last I checked, all hops buy for way above the GE price. Krandorian hops for example, are listed at a GE mid of 95 GP but usually sell at 1k each.
