Ooh poo poo. Might start up a new character on Runescape, having a few experiences before. Question is, should I get membership from the get-go? Or level up some freebie stuff before I get to the paid stuff?

At very least do free quests and level the skills somewhere to 30-40 range for smoother membership start.

Can do. Always loved the basic cookin' stuff just as much as Gnome Cooking. Also something about charm and poo poo.

Edit: Hoo boy, forgot about Java. And forgot to update properly.

Desuwa posted:

There's no limit to paying for membership with in game currency. However the current price of a bond, worth 14 days of membership, is 8.5 million and climbing due to an announcement that the price of membership will rise. Depending on how good you are at making money that can be very little over two weeks or it can be most of your gold income.

Right now it's still possible to pay for membership using "easy" methods like vis wax, yak hides (even if they've crashed pretty hard), miscellania, the culinaromancer's chest, and maybe dabbling in some other easy/fast/passive methods like farming.

Ahh. In that case, I'll set a limit for myself: If bonds hit 15m-20m, then I'm not gonna buy one UNLESS I get mad dosh. And assuming the membership price is a miniscule hike- like lets say up to $8.99 or $9.99- then at around that limit is when I'd consider forking over actual money.

Of course, if it IS a really small raise, then I can see bonds tanking hard. Just gotta see the new price, is all.

Good Idea: Bring cooked foods with you whenever going into instances.
Bad Idea: Forget to cook food whenever you go into instances.

Seriously. I'm stuck on Agoroth with no food whatsoever. And the meat from killing cows is raw, too. No tinderboxes, either. Thankfully I think dodging and stuff will work in this case.

So as a free player, I think I'll just raise my Smithing via track making since batch track making seems like a nice way to raise it. Also, how far can I go with Farming before the members stuff kicks in? Because it says I can grow potatoes right now.

You can train all members skills, sans Construction, to level 5 in F2P. If you go to Burthope there's a tiny farming patch next to a guy who gives 3 potato seeds for free and has a stock of 10 for sale.

That works nicely. And it helps me understand why some F2P quest rewards involve XP in Members skills.

Simsmagic posted:

Jagex releases updates occasionally that speed up, streamline, or otherwise improve the training of a bad skill (see Bonfires, Runespan, Prif Agility Course). But some very vocal pubbies interpret this as cheapening the challenge of getting max level, and making their 99 worthless because "I shoveled through this poo poo the hard way, by god so should everyone else." If Jagex releases an update that makes Ironman mode easier or otherwise less of a hassle to do things (such as letting them partake in Bonus XP Weekends), the sanctity of Ironman mode will be ruined forever because it isn't a complete pain in the rear end way to play the game.

Well they can just eat my rear end for all I care. The Runespan is loving amazing and so are bonfires. Still though, even with Runespan, the RC slog sort of kicks in. Seeing as how only rare spawns give you the good amounts. Not to mention having to burn a few essences to get from place to place.

:siren:Goonscape POH Event!:siren:

Next next Saturday, on the 10th of January, we will be having an event to visit other goon-made homes 30 minutes after reset. I will make occasional announcements to keep you all reminded, so prep up your house, make it cool/nerdy so we can visit it and see what cleanliness/filth you live in!

A few important things to note:
a) If your house is in Elf City, move it to a location everyone can access prior to the event. If your house is there and we can't visit it, we will not give your dumb nerdy house a housewarming. This will cost you 25k/50k depending on Varrock tasks to return to Elf City but if you have access to it, that should be pocket change.
b) Event will be on 117.
c) Get on Mumble for the event if possible. Mumble is fun and pretty cool for group events, and if Pizza Man participates, you can be assured we'll have at least one non anti-social chatty goon to listen to.
d) I will take screenshots and try to video record the event if possible. I encourage others to do the same!

So just today, I had a thought: Since RuneLabs is due to drop, why don't we make our own terrible ideas? I mean, pubs are probably gonna choke it with their terrible ideas. So why not a goon's terrible idea?

With that, I present this pitch: Alice Does Gielinor, Or Why The gently caress Is She Here Instead Of Screwing Me Out Of My Hard-Earned But Useless Keys*

* Guaranteed to ruin more of Runescape or your money back and ready to fund my next idea.

Overview: Treasure Hunter. Somehow a good venture. But it's boring to watch as everyone opens up a chest to get a star. It's also boring taking a swim in the billions of gold coins that surround the chests, too. So with a want to go out, the mascot Alice enters the really dumb world of Gielinor in order to interact with the filthy money-grubbing peasants intrepid adventurers that seem to plague inhabit it. This is where you come in. The questline is essentially teaching Alice what adventurers do for fun and profit. She grows ever so disgusted and loathsome as you do so, moreso because it might ruin her favorite dress.

Quests 1-3: Basic poo poo. First one's combat-related, and taking place in Lumbridge. Second one's gathering and whatnot, will be in Taverley and Burthorpe. Third one's in the Grand Exchange.

Quests 4-7: Hijinx ensues. Quest 4 forces you to do the barbarian bar crawl again in order to get her to run the course (She doesn't, claiming to have some injury, leaving you to do it.), quest 5 takes you to Tai Bwo to show where the mahogany comes from (get some trading sticks for this bit since she wants you to craft mahogany stuff), quest 6 leads you to the Gnome Stronghold for some good ol' gnome cooking. (Alice gets shitfaced after just one drink.), and quest 7 involves finding where she went. (She's in the elf city somehow.)

Quests 8-12: Bullshit Central. Quest 8 is just getting medicine for her.(Needs 90 herblore to make the medicine, and the reagents are all around Gielinor. Also a puzzle in order to mix the drat things.) Quest 9 involves a tour of the stones. (The stones now have a high failure rate, due to Alice's Berating: A perk that deliberately lowers everything.) Quest 10 involves Morvan. (She forces you into his dungeon for fun.) Quest 11 has Alice bargaining with elves for a crystal keep of her very own. (You have to build it, it's 90 Construction, and it unlocks crystalline dungeons. They cost 1M per room, and do gently caress all..) Quest 12 has Alice being bored of Prfddinas, and she wants to go home. (One of three Grandmaster Quests here. Needs 90 Magic, 91 Construction, 90 Mining, and 90 Agility. Quest only starts when you hit the req's, Agility can't be boosted, and is only needed to survive a scripted magic botch.)

Quests 13 and 14: God dammit why. Quest 13 involves everyone's favorite area: The Elemental Workshop. You are required to gather enough magic bars needed to make delicate little filigrees for useless things. Also some really hard-to-get items. Requires 95 Cooking, 95 Smithing, 95 Magic, 95 Crafting, and 95 Thieving. (The thieving is only for enduring a few things.) Quest 14- AKA the finale- is gonna be the main bullshit quotient. You have to Home Teleport everywhere, then cast "Return To Alice's Keep", a spell unlocked at 98 Magic that uses 5 soul runes and 5 law runes. This is to calibrate Alice's new teleportation device, which you made in 13. THEN, you must use it, resulting in a fuckload of problems. Such as a tear in the rift of time, Saradomin AND Zamorak wizards raiding in anger, champions investigating just what the gently caress is going down with the device, penguins coming in to try to steal the device, and even a few dead characters coming back to make life hell. Like Bandos and the Culinaromancer. Of course, this results in Alice forcing you to fight EVERYONE, since they're ruining her castle with their peasant-like presence. The final result? All champions are dead dead, KGP having to retreat, and generally all the gods are going "What the gently caress" at just what went down. And then she asks you to use it again, this time dragging in the remaining gods and Sliske. Also the Stone of Jas because I lost track. Naturally, you try to pacify the reasonably angry gods. This requires yet another Gielinor-wide fetch quest. And at the end of it all? You come back to a pile of dead gods. Just, a big loving pile of all the gods' corpses. Since your timing is "ever so perfect", you witness Sliske's body being thrown against the corpses. Why? Because he tried to steal Alice's gold. Your reward for doing all this? A small star for the new skill coming out sometime after this quest. You demand more, but she just gets ready to fight. At this point, you now have to fight the rich woman, who touched the stone now. The fight's one-sided, as she hits for 10001 regardless of stats. After that, you're cast into Death's home. Death is just absolutely confused at the events, and feels bad for you. And this is where the questline ends.

Final Rewards (Excluding experience): two bonds, that small star, 25 keys for Treasure Hunter, 25 Hearts of Ice, crystalline dungeons for your home, the gods' clothes as overrides, a new emote, a letter from Jagex that says "Sorry.", and another letter that just says "Come play Treasure Hunter! You can win some Lucky gear!".

Congratulations, adventurer! You just hosed up the lore beyond all repair! Now do it again in Hardcore Ironman mode.

In unrelated news, you guys need to try out the Sinister Keys. They're used for a chest from 2002. Said chest has consistent herb drops that are all worth more than the key itself. Catch is, you need 49 Agility, fair amount of health, and possibly a Beast of Burden to really cash in on allegedly dead content.
