Welcome to the /r/2007scape daily question thread!

You can ask anything about Old School RuneScape or the 2007scape subreddit here. Remain respectful to your fellow 'scapers when answering questions; there are stupid questions, but it does not mean you should not be respectful whilst answering them.

Keep in mind: this is not a developer Q&A thread - Jagex mods do not regularly read these posts, so questions should be directed toward fellow players.

Do NOT suggest toe rings or rings that go in more special places

Edit: Pretend I put the lightbearer in the right ring slot. Obviously I did not give that much thought, and it belongs in the combat category.

A blizzard GM gave out favors to certain WoW players/creators, one of them being an e-girl. She started flaunting it in front of her stream yesterday and now that blizzard employee is likely gonna lose their job.

It immediately reminded me of jmod who went through that exact scenario in Runescape as well. I guess MMORPG space is just a flat circle after all.

Discussion The Maggot King Speed-Chaser CA is a Grandmaster Tier CA

Post image
366 Upvotes

I completed the Maggot King Speed Chaser CA with Dharoks and a Twinflame Staff, so I'm now allowed to have an opinion on its difficulty. I don't think it's too bad, with BIS it's pretty free and even in a very cheap setup it's doable with some luck and milking within a few hours.

However, the paragraph in the blog about how the CA isn't GM worthy is just ridiculous. It's not the hardest CA task, but it's far from the easiest, and there are plenty of much easier speed times (all of COX, Vorkath, Duke, Arraxor, Yama, Hydra etc.) in Grandmaster. Change this to a Grandmaster Task and probably also change the Perfect to a GM task.

edit: I uploaded a POV of my speed time https://youtu.be/obcUXhwlH98?si=lAQMopy3z-ouuHWK&t=352 hope it helps you!

Discussion I spent a month in the wilderness so you don't have to. Here's what I learned.

201 Upvotes

I recently spent a month doing nothing but wilderness content on my iron to do everything I wanted to do in there: Elite diary, all CAs, all rev weapons + upgrades, POH obelisk, Voidwaker, the wildy rings. Here's what I learned:

TLDR: Group content is the only source of joy you'll find there. Group skilling, group PVM, even group vs group PVP. If you want to revitalize the wilderness, focus on the group aspect and encourage going there in a group.
Singles wildy is an endless abyss of infinite despair.

"Skill issue" "Risk vs reward" "Quit complaining about losing your items you signed up for it and it's optional" I hear you yell.
I died a grand total of 5 times in that month, lost about 2m in easily replaceable stuff, and made over 400M in profit from revs and the big bosses. I also got everything I wanted to get from the wilderness. Wow! Incredible! What a success! Don't go there if you're planning on doing the content solo.

Dying or losing items is not what's unfun about the wilderness, "risk vs reward" is completely meaningless and you figure this out after like the first 10M you make while risking 100k. 1 of those 5 deaths was when I went group bossing and got jumped by a team, but that was actually really fun thanks to the group vs group chaos.

No, the worst thing pkers can steal from you is not your items or your money or your spade, it's your time and your sanity. And the best part is they don't even need to attack you to do it!
Here's how 99% of your time at revs will be like:

gear up
tele to revs and hop till you find a free world
kill revs for 1 minute (sometimes up to 20!)
pker shows up. seed pod out
repeat endlessly

Each time you tele, more of your soul gets sucked out. It's not even predator vs prey, it's getting annoyed by little mosquitos constantly over and over and over. You could die 0 times and you'll still have to deal with this. 3 of my deaths were because I deliberately chose not to tele out every now and then, and fight back against the pker, just to finally feel something other than my will to play the game leaving my body. Wanted to stay and fight and try to anti-pk for a laugh anyway, engage in PVP like Jagex wants you to do? Here's how most of those interactions go:

die.
OR
pker feels mildly threatened and teles/freeze logs

Pkers are actually the biggest cowards in the wilderness, don't let them fool you. All you have to do is cough on them and they panic tele or freeze log out. Even big pk streamers will run away from a fight if they think they're at a disadvantage, instead of fighting another pker to the death for entertainment, because nobody likes to lose their items. Do yourself a favor and never go to revs, it's the Torment Nexus. I don't know what it was like when it was multi, but right now revs is anti-fun.

Thankfully calv/artio/spindel is a lot more bearable and braindead if you pay the low low cost of 1 bond to pay for a scout. You'll make that back easily and save yourself some sanity (you will still get interrupted and tele out constantly). I died 0 times in the ~2500 kills I did between them, even brought a lot more risk because you become actually unkillable. You have 10 business years to react to a pker and can even taunt and wave them goodbye if they try to get you despite the scout. It actually feels like cheating.

I don't really know who's having fun in these interactions. Do solo pkers like hopping 100 worlds at artio, finally finding someone but they're already teleing out because they had a scout, so time to hop another 100 worlds? Surely there's more fun money makers than occasionally smiting a webweaver? Or is killing yet another MSBer at revs for 200k really the height of entertainment in this game?

My advice for the pvmers: If you're looking to make some money and want to do it solo in the wilderness: Go find literally anything else to do. Picking flax might unironically be more enjoyable.
If you're going for clogs or are an iron and want the items like I did: Try to go with a group, it's the most fun I had in my time there.
If you don't have a group or want to go to revs: May saradomin have mercy on your soul.

Went to take a piss and came back to my doggy trying to figure out how to play.

Second pic is for the peeps that want to see her and to show that she is also part human by the need to sit in chairs all the time.

I’ve been seeing a lot of cat pictures in comments (cat’s are weird) and wanted to show some love for the doggy’s out there.

Please post pictures of your animals.

No cat pictures allowed though because I have allergies.
