Some Things I will never understand

[snick5]

First Off if this is in the wrong place I am sorry and would thank anyone that moved it.

 

 

 

In real life I just can't wrap my head around some things. Like people that can't swim. Now I am not talking about can't swim for a gold medal but the people that can't keep themselves afoat. In Runescape there are also things I just don't get. People that don't bury bones while fighting. Sure "bones" are only worth 4.5 exp. But 100 of them are worth 450 and that beats ecto-Dragon Bones. Now I am not saying hold them for the bank but a click and you are closer to 99 prayer.

 

 

 

Not Picking up coins is another one. Sure it could be only 1 coin but just like the bones they add up. In a slayer trip picking up gold (mine and everyone elses) I got 8k. Sure it cost me 1 inventory space but after the first coin, they stack. 2 trips like that and you have 16K. Now who would not pick up 16k? Now sure it took a while to do that but I was there anyway.

 

 

 

The third thing I don't get is a little hard to get, so I will try to explain. While fighting, grimy herbs are dropped. Some are great and we all keep those. The others we don't even bother to pick up. Sure 2.5 exp in herblore for cleaning a guam herb is not alot but it is free exp. It coust you 4 clinks. 1 to pick it up. 1 to clean it. 1 top get options on it. and one to drop it. Now I will never be frustrated with anyone that cleans one and drops it. Doing nothing does. It's free. Now I Hate Herblore more then anyother skill, and thank to anyone that sells potions that I can't make but 2.5 adds up. How do you think they got to 99 in the first place.

 

 

 

Don't we all want 99's in every skill. Don't we all want Money. Prayer and herblore are skills. Sure they take a while to do unless you have a ton of money, and even then they are not what I would call fast. But the 4.5 exp for a bone and a 2.5 exp for a guam leaf add up. That gold coin goes in to a million just like 500K.

 

 

 

In Closing, This is not ment to insult you in any way shape or form. It is just to make you think.

Some people are just lazy...

[Zierro]

Yes, the bones and GP do add up to a lot, but the amount of time and energy you spend making the extra clicks adds up to a lot too.

[Str4lif3]

Some people are just lazy...

 

 

 

Yeah. I don't pickup gold and green charm either. lol

[Mike_Ike111]

The time spent picking up those items outweighs the usefulness of the experience/gold gained. In the long-run I will have saved myself enough time not picking up the items to then do something else for money/xp. Looting the body of a monster after each kill takes almost half the time it did to kill it.

[xSxqPowerx]

I am 99 prayer and 93 herblore.

 

 

 

I never pick up bones or herbs.

[InkofDeath]

1. People are lazy.

 

2. People think that the time it takes to spot to doing their specific task to clean or bury bones is too much. In most cases these people are correct, except they will lose money in the future, but will have saved time. Then you have to think was the time they saved enough time to make the money & get the prayer/herblore lvls in your example? Generally yes it is.

 

 

 

All depends if you want to get extremely technical.

[magmaguard3]

I get your point. Why waste all that free experience and money? Well Honestly I don't pick up my bones, Herbs, or Coins for two reasons. The first reason is i'm just lazy. I don't feel like putting effort into something multiple times like picking up money when i can aqcquire a larger amount of it fairly quickly. It just seems uneccesarry to do these things In my mind. The other reason is I see low leveled players picking up bones and money from kills so I let them have the gold and bones. That way nothing really gets wasted. But I do think I shouldn't be so lazy. One man's trash is another's treasure and this applies to Runescape to some extent. :thumbsup:

i think with cash piles it doesnt really show the value unless you pick it up, like for instance 400gp can look like 10 coins on the floor, but i do pick up coins on slayer, but bones i still havent gotten it out of my head that bones arent 3.5xp that they were in classic, but i dont even bury dragonbones because of random events

[Viv]

bones = im planning on getting 99 pray at a glided alter anyway and it is pretty fast i could have gotten slay exp instead of picking up that bone which is a slower skill making it faster is more valuable then 4.5 pray exp and 100 bones buried in a whole task thats a possible 2 minutes or 3! which if you get about 20k slay exp/hr at that task then you might be sacrifcing 627 slay exp an hr and its like 1000 hrs to get 99 slay? thats about 627k slay exp which is 31.35hrs and lets say if all your monsters dropped bones and they totally dont you woulda gotten 14k pray exp burrying bones in 31.35hrs and 14k pray exp can take 4 minutes to gain and about 10 minutes to make the money at 700k cash/hr so you waste 31.35hrs to save 14 minutes on your way to 99 pray really is that smart................also burrying bones gives randoms.

 

 

 

coins you have an argument thier i picked up coins if i had invent but usually i dropped them cause i had food/praypots/things like rune chainbodies/meds+ charms in my invent so i didnt pick up many

 

 

 

herbs..........i only picked up rannar so i could use them further usually for invent space purposes rannar are the most valuable herb and see the prayer explanation as to why i didnt pick up id and drop any and herblore is one of the fastest skills with money.

[Omali]

Bones:I bury bones, if I'm in the mood, and usually always if it is free bones. I'm not going for 99, just leveling as I go.

 

 

 

Coins: Depends on the value of other drops. Chances are once it hits the several thousand gold, I won't be picking up anything else more valuable in one slot, so I'll keep the coins.

 

 

 

Herbs: Same as bones. The only time I've ever bought my levels was to gain herblore levels for a quest. Aside from that, it's not a priority to me. Also: I keep clean guam for use in summoning.

[ZimJ]

I never bury bones when I fight things because it seems like every time I try that, I get a random event and by the time I get back my spot has been taken and it's quite a bit annoying if you've been the only person there for a long time and when you come back from the random they start yelling at you to leave. Or maybe I'm just doing something horribly wrong or something. That's normally the case. And I have horrible combat stats anyway.

 

 

 

I will admit to not picking up money, and even dropping money I get from random events, but only when I'm busy. If I'm fishing sharks, I could keep the money and make 400gp or I could drop it, get a shark, and make 900-something GP. But if I'm just walking along or something chances are I'll pick it up.

 

 

 

I never really bothered with herbs since I always got a message telling me that I couldn't do anything with it because my level wasn't high enough. I guess now since they're all identified anyway I could at least work towards a higher level now if I come across one that I know I can clean or whatever.

[Great_one]

its the fact that those 4 clicks it takes for 2.5 herb xp you could get in almost 2 more atack on your next target. now on avrage for me thats a lost 80xp in a melle skill and over 20xp in hp. doesnt that sound better than 2.5xp?

 

 

 

i do pick up coins though lol...if i have space

[Infernosage4]

I do everything you've listed. Although I can see why people don't. In their eyes, it saves them time, and time is money.

[Dragon_Scyth]

Basically it takes extra time and with that extra time i could just make some cash and buy alot more exp worth of bones then picking them up would give me.

[Wizz]

I pick up bones >.> and bury them If I have time but I always collect GP I know I wiil always run out of food. My slayer Secret is that I take strawberry Baskets that I get from farming on small slayer Task and eat them when I need to ^^

 

Not a secret anymore >.>

[blakdragon39]

I always pick up coins on slayer tasks. I don't pick up normal bones, but I always pick up big bones. I love doing a Fire Giant tasks, and everyone else is leavin the bones lying around. :D Free exp for me!

[BabyPunchers]

Time is money, and that little herb exp isn't worth it. Neither is that little amount of cash.

[Kenshinjapan]

I'm planning on getting 99 pray at a glided alter and it is much more efficient than burying bones. If I decide to bury a bone, I could have gotten slayer exp instead of in prayer which is a slower skill to max, making it more efficient to not bury the bone. 20 slayer xp is more valuable then 4.5 pray exp and burying 100 bones takes around 2 minutes or 3! So if you get about 20k slay exp/hr at that task, then you might be sacrifcing 627 slay exp an hr (and it takes around 1000 hrs to get 99 slay). That's about 627k slay exp which is 31.35hrs. Well lets say if all your monsters dropped bones (which they dont), you would've gotten 14k pray exp burrying those bones. By wasting 31.35hrs to get 14k pray exp, you are wasting time as you can get that exp in 14 minutes using dragon bones on a guilded altar. Not to mention that burying bones gives random events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just reworded everything you said because besides the bad grammar, you hit the nail on the head.

[Grasle]

Occasionally I'll pick up coins. However, most of the time I'm struggling on inventory space, and I'd rather a ruby or rune med than 400g.

 

 

 

With bones, I only bury them if they're dragon. When you're -55 prayer, it's worth burying bones, but later on it makes so little difference, you might as well ignore them.

 

 

 

And with herbs, I only pick them up if they're worth something, as the xp is so little it doesn't make much of a difference to me.

 

 

 

Like others said, time is money.

You basically stole my reply.

 

 

 

What he said ^_^

[TheHunted616]

Heh i've left thousands of big bones on the ground^_^

[spooferfish]

I grab coins, Ive left tasks with 11k+ from grabbing coins.

 

 

 

I also grab big bones+. I bury what I need to to keep grabbing other things I want, and usually hope for leo so I can bank them :D

Thank you, 'cause WOW what a run-on sentence that was. :shock:

 

 

 

But ya, what botanreaper said pretty much sums it up.

[SirHartlar]

I always pick up coin drops unless my inventory is full, I never bury bones but I do take dragon bones from Iron tasks to sell on the GE. I only ever collect ranarrs to cover the cost of p pots.
