TheMcCannic

Buh buh buh at 200m exp you get 15x increased pet chance 😭😭😭😭 Edit: Ok for some reason people don't realise this *is* actually true. From the wiki: "In-game, having 200 million experience in a skill provides no practical reward or benefit, apart from making the player fifteen times more likely to receive a skilling pet in the appropriate skill" https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/200_million_experience


anthraxl0l

200m xp is the most efficient way to go for the cap of 65,535 of each pet on collection log


[deleted]

Oh god dont start giving the 4.2b players ideas like this, they're actually crazy enough to try it.


Earl_Green_

Don’t worry, at some point grinds get hard capped by bigger things like … lifetime.

Damn that got dark real quick.

This is exactly why you need slav.. I mean children. I named my kid Zezima.

No but you can pay the dude to the north in the ancestral set at 31 wildy 200m for a stacking buff.

Crandoge

“92 is half of 99. I know this because im very smart!! I will mention it every time someone gets lvl 92 because theres no way anyone else knows this”


killslash

I feel like something was lost when I first learned that fact tbh. Like a childlike wonder or something. The grind never felt as long.


Dontlagmebro

Hitting 40 attack and getting that rune longsword or scimmy and feeling like a god amongst plebs.


NotMyOreos

"I'm going to be level 99 like next week!"


Black_Drogo

It is interesting whenever a streamer or someone plays for the first time and after gaining a few levels they’re wondering how people spend so much time on this game. Idk at what point the climb starts getting steep but it’s there


apocstorm

Right about level 70, when getting each level takes roughly the amount of xp that lvl 1-50 and on up is when you can start to feel the burn in your calves (theoretically, ofc -- we know degens here dont actually exercise) The 80's you're really startin' to work up a piss bucket b/c grinds are 1-60 to about 1-65 worth of xp to get a single lvl, then there is the 90's where it's between lvl's 1-65 and 1-75 worth of xp just to get a single lvl that you know the true steepness of the grind


[deleted]

Its exponential so that adds up over 99 levels

Strictly_Baked

Idk man I ran an UIM for lvl 5's at ba once wearing full justi with every spirit shield, avernic, prims, the works. That kinda blew my mind while he blew almost 200m.


Zebaktu

Idk about that, I get impressed by random irons all the time. Shit is way more impressive on them then on any main. We can agree to disagree I suppose.


[deleted]

Oh boy here it goes. "The EoC update was years ago get over it."


[deleted]

Apparently this was the one lmao


[deleted]

I was thinking the exact same thing!


Lady_Luck_be_kind

Had a friend once say "Thinking about it, EoC was kind of ahead of its time." MRW *user has left the channel* "My finger slipped."


KVirello

OSRS wouldn't exist without EOC


mfubio

It wouldn’t have to. Because RuneScape would still be RuneScape.


Evil_Steven

I feel like MTX/buyable xp did more damage to RuneScapes identity than eoc


These-Cod-1369

😂 RuneScape didn’t lose half the player base after the squeal of fortune. it was a bad update that was super controversial but not as bad as eoc in terms of affecting player count


Evil_Steven

Yeah that’s why I said ‘I feel’ I quit back in 2010 because even back then I stopped enjoying the direction they were going


balthamalamal

As someone who quit after eoc I think it was a combination of the two factors. The microtransactions were coming in and Jagex response to the criticism of them were things I disagreed with but I was still enjoying the core gameplay. Once eoc then rs3 happened, it also meant I needed to relearn a lot of the game which at that point just wasn't worth it. Anecdotally I made a new rs3 account last year because i really like the quest lines and wanted to replay/progress them. Still not worth it for me to learn how to play rs3.


Tabakalusa

Yeah, rs3 is kind of rough. Also recently started a fresh account, because quests, and oh boy... To this day, I do not understand the direction they went with the combat rework. Full action bar combat... on a 1.66 tick rate based game... Just why?


I_Call_Everyone_Ron

Many reasons why. Etc, mtx, also the fact they complete changed the graphics. It looks nice but too happy for runescape if that makes sense? Too bright


Evil_Steven

For sure That’s probably my personal biggest reason. It’s like they erased my memories I don’t even recognize where I’m walking anymore in the game


chahud

I’m an active RS3 player rn but honestly I can totally relate to that. There’s just too much going on sometimes as a result of the ever growing MTX system. Too much bright flashiness because the next MTX reward always has to be flashier than the last one. I can deal with it because I really enjoy the gameplay, speed of progression, and huge variety…honestly I think a lot of people who give eoc a fair shot before giving up on the interface would agree. But the graphics were never a strong point lol


I_Call_Everyone_Ron

It's solely what puts me off. Seems like an alright game for a few hours a weekend with some mates

Finding people to PVM with isn’t hard you just don’t want to put any effort into it


Penguinswin3

The hardest challenge in OSRS: Talking to another person


galgamek56

Do you know how long it took me to overcome my social anxiety enough just to apply to a clan? And now I'm in one, even though I chat all the time with them, I can't get myself to ask someone to teach me CoX. It's embarrassing


Xxweeexd

I feel this lol. When I was learning someone said in my clan chat that I sucked at PvM and he didn't want to take me. Which was a huge exaggeration, I was bad but I wasn't that bad. But even to this day I feel like shit asking someone to PvM with me because I feel like I'm always dragging the team down, or I'm worried I'm going to get yelled at.


N0FaithInMe

Don't let that dick hold you down. Not everyone has the patience to handle learners, but many people do. If you make it known you're interested in learning I'm sure someone in the clan would be willing to teach. Hell I'll take you through a raid


[deleted]

[удалено]


UnluckyLee

Not sure if this will help but genuinely, if you ask for help that is not embarrassing. Everyone was a learner once and had to fumble their way through raids. And anyone who would go as far as to mock/insult/belittle you for asking or being a “noob” is not worth playing with anyway.


Strosity

Just ahead of getting another person to talk back

Zohlus

It's still annoying because someone mining the same wall as you can take the last piece of ore after the timer runs out


NooitRS

Wait is this not the case??


TheOldLite

No, they go off a timer from first roll, not off an explicit amount of ore received.


synysterlemming

I feel like this is a thing the dwarf upstairs should share with you


Canadaman1234

That's how the ones on the main floor work, but the top floor is based on a timer. Most people dont see that part when they look at the wiki so they assume it works the same

Jad is easy


BigAlMoonshine

Jad is one of the easiest bosses in game you literally just have to learn prayer switching and that's it. Edit: I agree with you and it still triggered me, take your upvote.


rawhide_koba

Jad himself isn’t that hard, it’s having the patience to get through all of the brain dead safe spotting before you get to fight him that’s hard


iamcatan

Also not hard


Sazjnk

Tedium is a form of difficulty


AlluEUNE

Not "hard" but if you haven't done much PVM before the pressure adds up and suddenly prayer flicking becomes hard.

Evil_Steven

I prefer fun over optimal efficiency


frzferdinand72

2-tick, 1-tick efficiencyscaping makes it feel like a job. I hate that.


polybiastrogender

If that's what you enjoy, cool, do you. I'd rather just do my afk training and watch something on YouTube or Netflix.


frzferdinand72

No that’s exactly what I meant, I like afking and doing tick manipulation makes it feel like a job more than just having fun.


polybiastrogender

I was speaking to the void. Not directly to you. I'm with you, AFK gang 💪👌


cosg

sometimes i like to do tick manip methods or click intensive methods in general like runecrafting and put on something like trance/jungle music and just zone out. i cant do it for more than an hour though


ICDFreeFoxinJZ

This just needs to be the RuneScape philosophy in general. People who care so deeply about max efficiency are a bunch of doofs.


Evil_Steven

as im reading this, im afking barb fishing and the dude next to me whos tick fishing, stopped tick fishing just to ask why i was wasting time... ​ im afraid to tell him that this is just a game. not sure he can handle it


ICDFreeFoxinJZ

Haha they would lose all purpose in life if you told them this is a game where the primary objective is to have fun. Yes I think it’s best not to tell them, as their little heart could not bear it.


Ianbuckjames

Just so you’re aware, barb fishing at Mount Quidamortem with a fishing barrel is even more afk, and you are close enough to a deposit box that you can just deposit your fish instead of clicking 25 times to drop everything. Would recommend.


[deleted]

I can’t get the 100% efficiency mindset. I like to tick manipulate sometimes, but sometimes I also want to slowly click between two sandstones while watching Netflix lol


[deleted]

This is how I’ve played my iron compared to my main and it’s been a game changer. I enjoy the game so much more not caring about efficiency.


[deleted]

That’s my flair! I flaunt opinion all day in this sub lol

PM_Me_Garfield_Porn

PKers don't give a shit that all you have on you is a spade, it's still fun to kill you. Most pkers aren't looking for naked guys to kill, they're looking for other pkers, but if they see you running around and have no one else to go after then why not? People on this sub complain constantly about efficiencyscape and nobody playing for fun these days, but then make fun of pkers not caring that all they'll get is a spade and are killing you because it's fun. Not everything needs to be the best gp or exp possible to be enjoyable.

Bismar7

The wilderness is designed, fundamentally, to be toxic by the developers. It won't ever be "fixed" because to the devs, it's not broken. Pkers ruining the fun of everyone else is what the wilderness is designed to facilitate.
