  1. oh hybrid. i didn't read your post carefully .. ummmm

     

     

    isn't the set equip. bonus a 13% boost? or 10% without hood? (for battlemage/trickster), and wouldn't that add on to the 35% equipment bonus multiplier?

     

    additionally any hybrid set gives a novel multiplier of 1.15 (15%). but okay, you only have 4 pieces. I don't see how you are getting the 1.12 from the hybrid.

  2. You have to multiply a bunch of things together. The sum of your equipment bonuses is one thing. The levels you are above your base level * 1.03 ( capped at 1.21) is another, as is the hex crest, for which the multiplier is 7/6.

     

    And maybe there's some rounding that goes on (for example with the 7/6, and the final result).

     

    Try calculating this way and see what you get.

  3. I don't really see the problem, other RS fansites probably copy off others in some way, shape or form - if someone just copies and pastes a whole quest guide or the whole treasure trails guide for instance I can't see it going unnoticed.
    .

     

    Yeah, but the thing about wiki's is that even if it doesn't go unnoticed, it can just be re-plagarized. But as Warriormonkx points out the incentive for doing that is probably too low to make that a legitimate concern.

  4. I don't feel like this should happen as frequently as we think. What's the incentive to copy and paste other sources? All you can do with that is look back and know that's what you did. No names or credits exist on the wiki as far as I know? At least if you contribute original content you can feel good about it, knowing that the official RS Bandos guide has your work, and that players are reading it.

     

    I mean clearly it's a problem, but I'm confused as to why people even want to go through copying and pasting. There's no psychic reward.

     

     

    great point! :).

  5. I think if anyone did, RSWiki could contact Jagex and they would likely take it down. I do feel bad for Wiki though. Just cause Jagex is too lazy and incompetent to produce an accurate manual for their game.

     

    hmm yeah, they could contact jagex. But maybe they could also just edit out whatever it was that was copied (if there's a rule that justifies doing so). Or flag it, or something. I wonder if jagex has said anything about this - about what they want editors to do if they see plagiarized content.

  6. Is there going to be a WAR :ohnoes: ? What do you see being the fate of the respective wikis? Can they coexist?

     

     

    Here's rs wiki's plea for that not to be done http://runescape.wik.../Copying_notice

     

    It seems very sad. Outside of suing jagex I think all they can do is monitor the official rs wiki.

    maybe we should see if there is a historical precedent - have two wiki's on the same subject ever managed to coexist??

  7. Mostly I play rs when I want to watch something because it helps me stay me stay engaged. I find doing a very low apm task makes some types of lectures more tolerable.

     

    Besides that I merch (I plan to sell gold soon), and sometimes enjoy new updates (like I will the new slayer dungeon that is coming up :). )

     

    tip.it/xp waste are keeping me interested too, though i would sort of rather break this habit i developed of checking both forums. rs is ultimately not fulfilling to me but it is very enticing, which is why I haven't managed to let go of it yet.

  8. I make over 10k $ a week, best week has been 23957

     

    Wow! how?

     

     

    I research on different things, develop myself, listen to music, watch movies do whatever I want and I love it.

     

    What do you research on?

  9. podcasts are interesting.

     

     

    some of the most memorable things i've watched while playing rs in no particular order:

     

    lectures by robert sapolsky (endocrinology stuff, very general, very interesting, very fun)

    anything with slavoj zizek (philosopher)

    khan academy (biology, physics, chemistry)

    talks by cory booker (politician)

     

     

    a number of courses by mit/stanford/yale/more obscure schools. (things like plank make would probably be too intensive for math/hard science courses to make sense to watch)

  10. This is basically exactly what I already talked about, so...

     

    yeah, you talked about a lot of it. But you also said this -

     

     

    But there are plenty of people out there who don't already know this stuff, and this is for them.

     

    giving the impression of the naive multitudes to me. The people who do not know the 11m/h calc, but who leave the d bones/hides, don't need the information. it nice to know? sure, why not. But there is no enlightening that will go on because of the information, no flocks of people switching to picking up bones/hides because they saw this thread.

     

    You didn't explicitly imply that though. I perhaps overreacted to that remark last night. Anyway, I am glad we are in basic agreement now.

  11. It is actually you which appeared to me to have withdrew your incessant claim that this thread is enlightening the multitudes of hopeless souls out there trying to be efficient but unknowingly failing by leaving the bones/hides on the floor.

     

    You changed your idea of what you believe this thread is doing to - even if this thread doesn't change what they do because what they're already doing is the most efficient thing for them (which as Squab and I have pointed out is indeed what people are doing who leave their bones/hides), it's still nice to know the relevant objective facts that can be obtained. So in that small way I am improving the knowledge of the person who reads this.**

     

    Which, if I had to explain what this thread is doing, is probably what I would say.

     

     

     

    **

    I have corrected that and, regardless of whether this will cause people to stop leaving loot, people's understandings of the sacrifices being made in favour of convenience have been improved.
