Platinum_Myr Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Why rely on the rs wiki when the rs wikia is way better? Because Jagex has all the data now, where as rs wikia won't have the data till players obtain the items. I am guessing that based on the rates we have now that Jagex wiki will be updated with (semi-correct) data before we as players have access to all that content. I trust wikia more than jagex wiki overall but this is for new information that players can't get yet because it takes so long.

Sy_Accursed Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm wonder if the new tele on wicked hood is better banking (for deposit only) than the tokkul ring.Dumps ya like 2 squares away from a deposit chest in wizards tower.

Randox Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Something that myself, and a lot of other people are noticing is that as time goes on, the nodes in the runespan are getting really common. Some of the larger islands now have upwards of 20 nodes on them, and even all teh smaller ones are consistently at 2-3, when right after the release, most of the small islands didn't even always have one. By the time 24 hours has passed, we are going to be wading through a sea of nodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 It seems to me nodes can't despawn; they either get used or get spawned over (one or twice had a blood pool turn into a soul on me) so it is natural for the low end ones epsecially to accumulate.Spawn rate also seems to be tied to either world population and/or population in-game. As it has gotten busier nodes are spawning more.

Randox Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think they need to cap the total number of each type of node, for each level. That should keep things in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift sword Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think they need to cap the total number of each type of node, for each level. That should keep things in check.As long as they cap it based on world population, that should be pretty effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blutters Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Eh, I thought this would have puzzles or some other more active elements, like Ceremonial Sword making, instead of just being semi-AFK like Lava Flow...In any case, I don't see myself standing here siphoning Blood Esswraiths for 20 hours. This is only "better" in the sense that there's so little attention involved. What's the point of the chip off option? I seem to get more than enough essence just from fully siphoning a creature.

Deletion Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Can somebody please eloborate on what the current best method is maximising xp/hr? (I don't mind if it is less afk than some other methods) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octarine Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Can somebody please eloborate on what the current best method is maximising xp/hr? (I don't mind if it is less afk than some other methods)Get to tier 3 first ofc, then target high tier nodes, I think everything over body/nature is worth it. maintain your ess pile on the high tier esslings, probably death/blood. Edit: Oh and go for the wizard too, but maybe dont go attempting to charge halfway across the map for it if you dont have a nice variety of essence.

Flyingjj Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Apparently the massive amount of nodes was a bug. Mod Pi's done a hotfix and the numbers should be going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazhor Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 On w119 earlier, I managed to count 59 nodes on one island. It was just ridiculous lag-fest.Couldn't even get a picture because they didn't fit onto my screen :L Visit my blog! Click the madness for more madness!

Fastest xp by a long shot seems to be camping out at a good spot for your best creature but equally grabbing any good nodes within a 1 island radius. Trying to chase down good nodes jsut wastes too much time, especially now spawn rate is fixed.Good nodes are relative to what your max creature is.So far I have found doing blood wraith's nebula, shifter, jumper, skulls, blood pool are worth it (and obvious bloody skulls, living soul and undead soul when stat's permit). Wizard is worth it if he's close by (eg can see him from your island) ideally you wanna give him 10 of the rune he asks for, failing that the best rune you can spare 10 of maximises xp. As for the question about chip off: It's because in theory the best xp is from nodes alone which don't give ess out. So it offers a fast way to garner ess supplies. But in reality of down time vs xp gain time it is better to camp creatures anyway, so not an issue.

Sad, was nice while it lasted. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Beaumonde Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think this needs it's own world and it's own clan chat for giving locations to the yellow mage. TIF do your thing! The unofficial friends chat that's cropped up is Runespan HQ on world 46. Edit: Which I've decided isn't that useful, because only a portion of the people on any level can see the yellow wizard at any time.

Iglw Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Did seem too good to be true. Less incentive to not camp at soul esswraith now other than to grab the occasional yellow wizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about nerf though, there is no nodes at all now, before you could always find 2 or 3 chaotic clouds or the odd nebula, now there is nothing :( Quit Runescape 10 jan 2007 - Playing again 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octarine Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The problem is most worlds are now chocked with existing elemental node spawns, meaning the high tier stuff wont spawn.

ItsCook Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm not sure if camping Law Esshounds and doing yellow Wizards on floor 2 untill 85 rc would be a good idea?

Maximusa Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I was enjoying this however the node nerf has made it a touch too' afkable to be as' enjoyable as it was for me. Its livid farm but slightly less hurtful. Nodes appearing meant I had to DO something while still being semi-afkable. (Hell thats why im posting.. Im busy afking lol.) I see no point in running around as it just uses up points. Now its like 97% afkable so meh.. I already become second nature to just use the sound and half glance to click the other monster. Before I was being more active watching for node spawns = More interesting. Pretty much reduced to cutting ivy gameplay. Obviously there was far too many nodes before and something needed fixing.. Yet the spawn rate itself wasnt too bad as they wernt always desirable to use. Its difficult to score this update as I was' enjoying it until recently. =s Nerfy Nerfy Nerf. If it isnt rebalanced again it will be a great shame. =s I was enjoying the layed back gameplay that still required actual attention for node spawns. (So its not proper afk=More interesting.) I admit its bizarre that such a small change changes my enjoyment. Yet it has. Ivy cutting has breed with livid farm.
