GibberEsh Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 How much less XP is granted now for DG tasks?I got around 165k at 115 dg when I think I got around 300k-350k or so before. Should have taken a screenshot but eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeRambo Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Looks like they halved the DG XP? "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

Kimberly Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm still hesitant to dish out 2mil for leather to make black d'hide vambs. I almost know for certain I won't get 75% of that money back :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think you get another challenge's materials back. So assuming you do every challenge and prices don't fluctuate, your average income will be 0. Am I slow to realize that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 No, you're not. But unless the challenge rewards you receive back are from "tiered" tables, couldn't you also just run the risks of getting 300 rocktails back each time or something equally skewed?

Failed Acct Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 It seems like Jagex is basing the reward values on the price of the materials at GE mid. If you wildly overpay for materials, then yes you can problably expect to lose a fair amount of cash. Have the courage to change the things you can, the patience to accept the things you can't, and the wisdom to know the difference.[/Quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I also think that the rewards are based on the price of the materials at g.e. mid. I've done a lot of challenges that give the mystery bag and I tend to get pure ess and some coins that equal the value of either what I made or the materials for what I made based on ge mid prices. For example, I've done a "String x amount of oak longbows" challenge and got pure ess and some coins that equaled how much I would have spent had I bought oak longbow(u) and bowstring at ge mid as opposed to receiving items equal to the price of oak longbows which are really cheap.

Platinum_Myr Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think they give you the reward for whichever is higher (the cost of materials, or the net gain from selling result) Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukeMarine Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Getting 90k xp in contruction for free is a definite plus. I'll making it a habit to compare GE prices of the material to the reward. Even with price fluctuations, this should balance out in the long run as a good way to train many skills you normally ignore until you do bulk training. Now for the skills that are questionable. Prayer: loss in gp, but they keep the amounts low.Combat or slayer: loss in gp assuming you're using potions and food to speed up killsFiremaking: loss in gp. Pretty high when you compare magic to yew or yew to maple. To be honest, I don't think there's a reason not to do the daily challenges with regard to cost. Only reason you should avoid it is the time investment since some tasks can take 30 to 60 minutes. 1 Learn how to Learn Japanese on your own - Nukemarine's Suggested Guide for Beginners in JapaneseStop Forgetting Stuff for College and Life - Anki - a program which makes remembering things easyReach Elite Fitness - CrossFit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still get the xp for the task + a reward. So it works out very well in my opinion. It's great when they give you back what it cost too!

Deathlord920 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 24 laps around the Bandos Throne Room Agility Course (70 Agility) Reward: 15.5k XPÂ Note: I was assigned this challenge without having done Land of the Goblins or the Chosen Commander, so it appears you can receive skill-related challenges that require uncompleted quests...

Noctis Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Made 20 war torts.

homer205 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Did the 120 mahogany costume boxes challenge.Med price of a mahogany plank is 2258, used 240 of them for the challenge so 541,920 gp used total.Reward was 19452 construction experience (not counting what I got from making the tables) and 15 grimy torstols plus 165 gp. Med price for grimy torstol is 36117 so 541920 gp reward total. Seeing as how the 165 gp seems a little random, I'm guessing that they're using it as a balancing entry to make sure the reward and costs are the same.

Piu Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 No, you're not. But unless the challenge rewards you receive back are from "tiered" tables, couldn't you also just run the risks of getting 300 rocktails back each time or something equally skewed? My task was to make 10 Zamorak Brews, which involves Torstols. I got roughly the same amount back in return, the loss was because I bought some materials for a little higher so yeah.

But unless the challenge rewards you receive back are from "tiered" tables, couldn't you also just run the risks of getting 300 rocktails back each time or something equally skewed? According to Jmods the returns are balanced based on GE mid values, it's not a literal case of items handed in being re-handed out. It's a case of the items being possible rewards (in any amount required to match gp values) were chosen to match items being handed in so as to not have items disappearing. (eg rocktails going up as suddenly loads r going into tasks not being sold). As for the troublesome tasks the Jmods mentioned in livestream tasks were value balanced based on the cheapest way to do it so smith x items or craft x items worked from 1 bar and 1 hide items costs; hence this week those tasks were altered to be be smith x daggers and craft x vambs 1 Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills ::  Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
