All 3 drops within 30~ minutes. A nice change of pace from having 0 boots in 10m Mage xp... (no boots from 72m to 82m mage) Don't think I'll hit 104m before master capes. Will probably be a day or two late. Being dragged into family stuff on Easter. Also grats to Leik on 200m Slayer. :) Amazing drop tab too! I can never seem to hold onto tabs since items get devalued so quickly... I'd rather have the money before the items halve in value.

Pfft, kids are an XP waste! But a bit more serious, I would never want to bring something into this world destined to die. Being responsible for the creation of a life is a bit too much responsibility for me. If I was never born - would I care if I had gotten to "enjoy" life or not? Because of this - relationships are largely a huge waste of my time. They come with drama, obligations to waste my time on other peoples' wants, and offer very little in return that seems beneficial to my goals and desires. I'd rather not deal with it. That same "nothing that benefits my goals or desires" extends to friendships. They offer nothing to me but ask to take a lot from me. Working a 9 to 5 at least benefits my goals and desires. Not paying my taxes and being imprisoned doesn't benefit my goals and desires - so I pay my taxes. If you want to pretend that I work and willingly contribute to society, then so be it. But the only reason that contribution reaches societies hands is because society is like a bully stealing lunch money. It's either "give me the money or get beaten up". Without jeapordizing my goals and desires - I don't really have a choice.

Even without his stream I'm certain his clan would help him out. Is that more legit and respectable? This is an MMO after all. He's utilizing that fact. No different than paying essence runners back in the day.

Sorry for taking so long to respond Xpx, I was waiting on some replies fromTwitter. I'd like to apologize for using what little data I had from V2 sailors to guess that the drop rate was nerfed. The chances of 1 person having bad luck (me) is pretty high. For example, it took me 27k mummies for the champ scroll and I'm going on 610 days w/o a Phoenix pet. That doesn't mean those drop rates were nerfed. However when 8-10 people (namely: my entire data pool) are having just as bad luck. I can only draw conclusions based on the data present. It happens that I was wrong. I argued heavily for it but two mods (Mod Moltare and Mod Doctor) told me otherwise. The chances of this seemed pretty slim, but I'll accept it as a coincidence. Those happen in life after all. However I'd like to point out that you made the same exact mistake drawing a conclusion with YOUR data pool. Just because it happened to coincide with the data gathered from your V1 playerbase. You argued vehemently about it as well, trying to put me down for it and make me feel stupid for trying to draw a conclusion with my data in a similar manner. I feel that isn't OK at all and I would like to ask for an apology. Have a good day.

It's well known Ports rewards were nerfed with Ports V2 release. It's so well known that noone knows about it... Quit making stupid excuses. Random event awards were NOT changed with ports v2 update. Capping does help in providing a higher chance at rare rewards. Anything to the contrary is complete BS. If you want to feel bad about your sorry self then do so without giving out false information. As i've already explained in this thread, there are very few random event rewards that actually give you a tangible advantage and thus it's just stupid to keep using up crappy rewards. Unknown, i'm not swapping any of my previous captains until I get ones that i will keep. Consequently, I still have all 10k captains(have had 6 35k captains but all with 3 bad traits). Now also using captain rerolls, which i previously didn't want to do cause i have to give up my daily adventurer reroll. Someone who avoids the HLF thread because it's "too elitist" obviously would not have heard about what has effected every single person who started sailing in V2. I'm not alone with lacking lifeboats and the only people who have 4 are people who started sailing in V1. It's not "Wow, Champ Scrolls must have been nerfed" because it took me 27k kills to get it. That's just bad luck and is in my own personal, isolated case. 4 of my friends who also only started ports after V2 only have 0-1 lifeboats. People on the HLF thread who started sailing ports after V2 also have 0-1 lifeboats by Pincers/Loop.This is either one hell of a coincidence that every person sailing in V2 has few lifeboats upon reaching Pincer/Loop or the more likely event that lifeboats got nerfed since nobody in V2 has obtained them anywhere near the same length of time as V1 sailors. The highest # of lifeboats of a V2 sailor I know is 4% to Shield and has 3 lifeboats. 10% more Rewards, 10% MCS, Crew rerolls when prepping 3rd slot while obtaining crew from new region, Capt. rerolls when in the 10k/35k regions all have uses. Even if you have capped the rewards - if you do a minigame you'll simply get "more than you can hold". I've had 2 capt. rerolls and in my random event I won a crew reroll and.. 2 capt. rerolls that went to waste. Hoarding your items doesn't increase chances of a lifeboat and it's plain out stupid to refuse to use any advantage on the merit that "no advantage is better than a slight advantage". I'll gladly send a ship out at 84% over 78%. That could be the difference between failing the mission and an hour on the docks.

It's well known Ports rewards were nerfed with Ports V2 release. Coincidentally, I wasn't even playing Runescape actively (or at all, I was on a hiatus) until Ports V2 was released and I didn't start it until a week after because I was researching the best way to do it. Capping my random event rewards doesn't prevent me from obtaining ones I can't hold onto. That would be stupid to just sit on things that I could be using to better succeed on important voyages. I do my randoms every time they show up and I check/back out of checking boats each voyage so I don't miss any randoms. If anything it should be "Learn to not quit because something OP might come along that you can take advantage of before it gets nerfed" Odd... I'm pretty sure you also were sailing to Pincers before Ports V2. Please correct me if I'm wrong, maybe RNG just favored you. Seeing as alt. accounts that started ports after V2 of other players are having the same difficulty I am having. With 0-2 Lifeboats by Pincers.

I have 1 Lifeboat. Only 10% to Loop.

Failed a voyage at 69% and lost my Judge of Dice. RIP.

Abyssal Wand + Abyssal Orb is better than Chaotic Staff. Use this method: The steps shown in video: Wild Magic -> Impact/Wrack/Conc.Blast the Glacor. Glacytes spawn. Combust the enduring take 2 steps back into Conc. Blast, cancel it with Chain. Run through the Unstable (either north of you if standing north/south of a glacor, or west of you if standing east/west of a glacor) and autoattack->dragon breathe to kill the unstable w/ the sapping. Asphyxiate the Glacor for the kill. Use Overloads if you have them - and always use the best fire spell available. The above method might require an extra spell or two on the Glacytes step more often than not - but it should still be one of the fastest ways for you to kill them. If you can stand the extra effort, properly praying range/mage will extend trips if you aren't fine with just unicorn. Not 100% sure how good it is without Soulsplit however. The XP rate for you will probably be 300-400k xp/hr until you unlock Fire Surge. Shouldn't take too long.

What are you doing that at?

Little late but wanted to let my aura wear off. Broke 600m total. Broke 70m magic. Broke 40m HP. Todays been a productive day.

The richest player I know has a 600b~ bank. The second richest player I know has a 400b~ bank. ( http://a.pomf.se/vhcylv.png ) I'm quite certain there are a number of people with 200b+ banks. I think the 600b~ bank is the richest, active, RS player. At least... I've never heard of or seen any richer.

Two points: 1) This contradicts Jagex... if only we knew how they'd obtained the figures in the first place! 2) [bleep] me. I don't want to sound offensive, but... that is one of the most tragic complaints I have ever heard in my life. And working in healthcare, I've heard quite a few! I'd be irritated too. But sadly my avg/hrs dropped when I went on hiatus for 2 years and the bankstanding from the last 2 months prior to going on hiatus. I was averaging 16 hours/day for nearly 2 years. I did home study and all I did was eat/sleep/scape and 1-2 hours of having to go to "school" for testing once a week.

New Slay masks make Slayer any faster daily? IDK xp/hr of any of the tasks that just got masks.

I've gone almost 600 days without the Phoenix.

If you're banking to switch tasks/skill/PvM you're already at a bank. I'll time it all after this QBD trip E: It takes me 8 seconds to withdraw and deposit an item. This will apply to any jewerely you use (except a Digsite Pendant (1) which will be 6 seconds (-2 seconds to deposit since it turns to dust) It takes me an additional 3 seconds of dialogue to switch using my Wicked Pouch. For a total of: 11 Seconds to switch Magic books 11 Seconds to switch Prayers. Using a Digsite Pendant and running to the Sennisten altar: 38 Seconds. Using Surge as you turn the corner into the altar area. - Not important players shouldn't really be switching off Curses to begin with. Running to Astral Altar after Home Teleporting to Lunar Isle: 50 Seconds using Surge as you run East from the Lodestone. Running to Ancient Temple after Home Teleporting to Bandit Camp: 48 Seconds using Surge as you run South from the Lodestone. Running to Ancient Temple after using Pharaoh's Sceptre to Teleport to Jaldroacht: 30 Seconds ; 38 seconds including banking the Pharaoh's Sceptre. Using Wicked Hood to teleport to the Astral Altar: 8 Seconds ; 16 seconds including banking.

"Help me make a smarter choice. But I'm going to continue making a stupid choice." We get it, you like to go over speed cap with engineer crew who are useless.Congrats. Don't bother asking for help. Hey, don't talk to Thai like that I know Thai from my DGS/XPW days. I'll talk to Thai how I want to talk to Thai. :P

That times adds up. Especially if you swap between Lunars for farming/Ancients for PvM often. 40k / minute is a mere 2.4m/hr. After 60 swaps (just under 1 full pouch, which is 66 swaps IIRC) you have saved yourself time and money assuming you make over 2.4m/hr. If you can't make over 2.4m/hr I suggest you quit RS because you can pretty much do anything nowadays and make 2.4m/hr. You have to effectively try to not make 2.4m/hr. (I believe the 'true' time saved is closer to 3.2m/hr, but even then. I stick to my argument.)

He's hired and kept the engineers for lulz because he's an engineer irl, but it doesn't look like he's putting them on voyages anymore. What he's asking is how to optimise the use of only 21 crew slots as opposed to the full 25. There's not much wiggle room and the best he could do with that is to switch one morale basic with a merchant. P.S. 800 speed is just as useless as 5000 speed, so he's not getting "done out of 4200 speed". Also your suggestion to hire a wisp is bad. You'd optimize 21 crew slots following similar logic as 25 crew slots, except you'd ditch 1MCS and 1 Exile, keep 4 Merchants and x5 MCS with 2 Exile. Merchants are best crew until you get abysmally low % success ratings and you should always have 4. Exiles are only great for multistats - but by sacrificing MCS for Engineeers - he should be preferring single stat over multi-stat voyages.

I use digsite teleport constantly to swap between Curses and Prayers. Why aren't you using a Wicked Pouch? Maybe because runecoins? (or lack thereof) Can buy a bond

Simple solution.Train the skill as intended instead of buying it. 1There is more to the game than PvM and only training skills when you can afford to buy the supplies from the gold you made PvM'ing. The only issue with that is the efficiency attitude people have. It just means more PvM grind to raise skills. Skills you don't actually need. Until PvM is reduced to "comp cape or gtfo" you don't need to train skills to 99... oh.. unless you're chasing a cape. :) Haha... who would even do that!? Certainly not someone opposed to chasing 120 capes! Almost all skill content ends prior to 99, or at least the useful content. Some skills end even earlier (hi Smithing) and there isn't a single skill that requires you to buy it to reach 99.

This is easily the worst Comp req next to Chompy Birds.

The fact that it's permanent probably means they are temporary. So much for seed merch.
