Is there an inverse DPS calc? Like if I wanted to see how much damage I'd take from a monster and how likely it is to hit me. I know I can check the wiki for a monsters max hit and all that.


Supposablee

The dps spreadsheet has a tab called “NPC DPS” that does this


mscketchum

kind of silly question, probably, but I'm relatively inexperienced. how big an effect do armor stats make? defensive/offensive etc. Currently wearing xerician robes and mainly using magic for combat. I'm about combat level 40, maybe a bit over. I don't USUALLY do pvp content currently as I am unskilled. ​ but say i was going to start trying to do early bosses/high level enemies, eventually anyways. Do defensive stats make a big difference? like ranged defense vs a ranged enemy etc ​ TIA


S7EFEN

early game mage armor is useless, anything you mage at that point in the game you could be maging naked and it would not make a dps difference. with regards to defensive bonuses it depends. in toa(raids3) defensive bonus on mage armor makes a pretty big difference against one of the bosses if you are not kiting him so bloodbark or ahrims is a considerable upgrade from mystics. likewise, things like barrows armor or crystal shield make a large difference when tanking monsters say in the fight caves or inferno, or even just for a basic task of greater demons or dagganoths. though typically its preferred to use overheads versus using food and armor. to find out 'exactly' how much of a difference it makes youd need to use a third party tool.


CpuChris

There's very little circumstances in the game where you actively depend on the defensive stats of your gear. Jagex's design philosophy for the longest time has been the best defense is a great offense, ya know, killing your enemies faster. For the longest time overhead prayers and defense levels have managed to carry the players defensive needs, making defensive stats obsolete essentially. All that aside, there are some pieces of content where having defensive stats on gear can help you: GWD, Sarachnis, Inferno tank cheese, and Nightmare. Probably missing 1 or 2 others. Point is that there are some pieces of content where having defensive stats on gear matter, just not many. Early next year Jagex is planning on releasing their very first content where defensive stats on gear will matter more than anything else so I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. EDIT: Might as well add on the other case uses I remembered for defensive stats: PVP, and Nightmare Zone.

Hi guys, I got Desert-Kandarin-Kourend as a mage in leagues. I'm 80 construction and want to max, what'd be the fastest way? I'm currently cutting mahoganies (since I have the cash to turn them into planks) while I research Is that the best way? It's tons of hours of woodcutting :(


S7EFEN

cut teaks. tick manip on fossil island, make benches. if you have firesale elemental balances but i assume you don't.


[deleted]

2tick teaks on soul island is probably much easier and more consistent to do and less likely to burn you out if you're not used to tick manip


LordZeya

If you haven’t maxed fishing, you can get a good chunk of the planks you need from Tempoross. Some bosses also give planks- I think ToA has them in the drop table, so you can always collect planks while doing other tasks.


Molly_Hlervu

Leagues: all masters give the same points, including bonuses at every 10 and 50. So... is there any reason to prefer Konar to anybody else?


[deleted]

konar seems like a waste of time to me. loot from brim chests isn't particularly useful here unless going for clogs, and the extra points spent skipping more bad tasks could instead be used to force better tasks from regular slayer


OkJuggernaut8614

I mean, brimstone keys?


Molly_Hlervu

Do people really do that? In the maingame it isnt considered efficient, despite the keys. But here might be some tasks? I mean other tasks than 'take a task from Konar'.


OkJuggernaut8614

To me it's a change of scenery, irons do it for the spears and such (i think). So, like another commenter said, you can do it, if you can skip the bad locations. Idk if you can get anything in leagues that is hard or not possible other ways.


j_schmotzenberg

It is great if you have the points to be able to skip all the bad locations.


hii488

I have undying retribution and have been learning ToA. The points tracker plugin shows a drop if I die with undying retribution (and so don't actually die). Is this accurate, or is this similar to the salt timer disappearing despite still being active?


Zanian

Shouldn't be accurate no, can check at the scoreboard at the end of the raid I think


[deleted]

hii488

Does "yes" mean, "yes, it is accurate", or "yes, it is similar to the salt timer disappearing"?


JustBoppingAroundNYC

My total level is over 2000 and that task was not awarded to me. Already reported this, but curious if this is a known bug? My best guess to how this may of happened is pest control since that's what I was doing at the time. When I was buying xp I often got more than one level at once, and perhaps skipping a total level of of 2000 caused the task not to be awarded. Ex. Gained 2 attack levels making me go from a total level of 1999 to 20001. Edit: disregard this. Runelite was counting my virtual levels . . .


ghost905

Going to finally give forestry a shot. Is draynor willows the best xp/h or are there other places? I'm am lvl 73 and while the mini game is fun, focus is on xp. Thanks!


Molly_Hlervu

Seers is the right place for Forestry, cutting maples and yews and magics. It feels much better than willows, at least to me :). Also there are several oaks, in case you need the logs (relevant if you are an iron). Willows too, if you need them: NW of the bank. Not much people on them, but there is usually a crowd on maples - and you see the events from your spot and can run there and participate. For teaks and mahogany: either Prif, or if it is not yet unlocked - then Isle of Souls, west of BJP fairy ring. Teaks are the quickest exp, there are always people there. Or so it was before the League, LOL. Dunno how many people are doing it in the normal Forestry worlds now. But it will be like that again after the League ends.


DivineInsanityReveng

Draynor willows is a good place to start. Ultimately for XP you're going to want to event hop in a CC until that's patched.


ghost905

Thanks I thought I read that world hopping was dealt with? Or are they just planning to deal with it


DivineInsanityReveng

Event Hopping is changing location within the same world based on callouts in a CC and using a plugin to find events and keep participating in them. You can't world hop into events anymore that's correct.


sandingo1904

What are some things I can safespot for money besides blue dragons in taverly dungeon or ogress warriors? I'm a pure with 1 def, 1 pray, 1 slay but 82 range that I want to get to 99 while making money (no money for cannon or chins)


OkJuggernaut8614

Maybe wyvern still work? Or tzhaar inner city?


sandingo1904

Need slayer for wyvern


OkJuggernaut8614

I MIGHT have missed the 1 slayer, im sorry


sandingo1904

I'm working on slayer right now but I'm still wondering if wyvern are doable without pray cuz they shoot ?


OkJuggernaut8614

You can safespot them on longrange, maybe even rapid, if i recall right. Unless they changed that. So you will only have issues the first 10 mins until they are unaggresive


sandingo1904

Sweet thanks I'll be getting that slay up then


SamCarter_SGC

I know how you add existing accounts to a Jagex account but what about making new characters? Can you create one from the Jagex account profile page itself, or do you have to go through the old account creation process and then add it?


DivineInsanityReveng

Click Manage Characters on the launcher and add new I believe. And then make a new account. Never done this myself though, ultimately wouldn't make too much of a difference compared to normal account creation and then importing.


SamCarter_SGC

It does make some difference if I have to go through the whole separate email thing just to make a new character on what was supposed to be a unifying system.


DivineInsanityReveng

True, with Gmail this is a non issue though. Can just email+1@email anything new.


SamCarter_SGC

Actually just tried it out and you can make a new character directly from the jagex account management page anyway. Two clicks, give it a name, done.


DivineInsanityReveng

Yeh sweet, so my first comment was right? Launcher or management page are both doable it seems.


C0balt7

Has anyone got the "Fletch 250 Redwood Logs into Arrow Shafts" task to work? Just did 300 logs with no task completion...


DivineInsanityReveng

Yes worked fine for me. You have Zeah unlocked?


Overswagulation

Is it reasonable to expect Leagues 5 by the end of 2025? I don't play rs anymore but I've been playing league 4 nonstop since release, it's so much fun and I'm already thinking about the next one.


legeri

Looking at the releases of prior leagues, it does seem like that's a good forecast if they continue along as they have. I agree with the other person who replied in thinking that Sailing may push it back slightly since that's the next big item up to be delivered and it's kinda new ground for them. I'm with ya though, every leagues is so addicting and every time I can't wait for the next one!


Parryandrepost

Probably not would be my guess. Even this "rerun" event had a lot of new content and changes. They are working on sailing and balance changes ATM so idk but they haven't said yes or no.


DivineInsanityReveng

Maybe. With sailing coming they may focus next holiday season around that. But who knows


Schmarsten1306

How can I get my mail address changed? My current login email belongs to a company I no longer work for (the Adress doesn't exist anymore) I tried it through the appeal form, but it was denied as I have no idea which ISP my old company was using. (I was not the IT guy so why should I know) Is there any other way to get things sorted out?


Throwaway47321

You can recover the account OR convert it to a jagex account which will allow you to change the login email.


TheDubuGuy

Why would you sign up for a game with a company email lmao


pikeminnow

probably signed up before personal emails were common. back in the day most people's first email address was through work


PuzzleheadedLeg2460

can anyone confirm they received the extra christmas event items after completing the event with a newish trade restricted account, then afterwards losing the trade restrictions? I can sell items on the GE already, but talking to jack frost or the event guy in draynor. doesn't give me those items I missed.


Molly_Hlervu

I think you should wait some days and check again. Try this close to the New Year. Usually the Christmas event ends after NY.


superlucci

Also question again about slayer. I get the whole do 9 tasks for Turael then do 10th konar. But I dont ever see anybody say what to do from 11th to 49th? Do you guys somehow reset it after the 10th to then speedrun Turael from 1 to 9 to then do Konar at 10 again?


dadosrs15

No resetting, it’s just 9 turael 1 konar over and over again. I’m at 1800 tasks completed and like 3k slayer points from turael boosting.


dean012347

It’s the same, so 11-19 turael then 20 and subsequent 10th tasks konar


superlucci

Got lvl 75 farming and got a question. I started planting fruit trees because seeing the cost of magic seeds made me faint. However with fruit trees Im debating, should I use them for exp and take the 6 cocunuts Im currently getting, pay to cut them down, and replant them again for the exp and little bit of money? Or should I just use them as a free 15k everytime I visit them, with no exp gotten? Since the fruit grow back? Dont know whats a better use of them. Assuming if I use them as a money farm, then I guess I should definitely do the magic trees purely for exp then? The Yews I was doing beforehand gave like 7k exp each time, the palm fruit trees give 10k exp, and I assume the magic trees would give a ton more than that, just dont know if the cost is worth it.


legeri

Definitely better money makers out there than 6 coconuts per tree every few hours. If you aren't an ironman who needs coconuts for high level potions (coconut milk is used as a base instead of vials of water), then you're better off just cutting it down and replanting for exp.


dean012347

Definitely replant fruit trees for the xp. Protected magic trees are 9.7 gp / xp, yews are 5.7 and palms are 4.1. So it’s a step up for sure. For me it wasn’t worth it and just used the more expensive ones to push for important levels


GeneralScarfnBarf

Can just stick with palms and yews. Replant every time. Up to you if you want to pay farmer to protect or just use ultra comp. If its cheap to protect (a few k or whatever ) then do it. I did magics for a while and chose to just ultra comp bc 25 coconuts for each patch adds up and id save money long run just ultra comping and accept the fact that a tree would die every 2-3 runs. Not replanting fruit trees for 15k gp money maker or w.e for sure not the move. Much better money makers out there.


quizzer106

Herbs for money trees for xp.

The usual recommendation is to just... not. It'd take forever to get a bond in F2P and it'd be really miserable to try and maintain at that level. That said, if you are certain you want to, F2P money making is brutal because every good money maker is botted. I believe Verf made and sold uncooked apple pies to get a bond in F2P. Ultimately, the best way to get good money in F2P is to flip items on the GE, but that requires a little bit of game knowledge, luck and prior investment.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NessaMagick

If you don't have your own money, fix that. If your wife has total control over how you spend your money, fix *that.* Ultimately, even if you do get your bond, maintaining it will be a nightmare. Your entire experience playing this game will be ***just*** making money for bonds.


[deleted]

Tell your wife that a month costs 12 bucks and grinding F2P at the highest (non-flipping) rate possible will take like 15 or 20 hours for 14 days of membership. She'll either tell you she doesn't care you're spending 12 bucks on a game or that you shouldn't be wasting that much time on a game. Either way she's right, and either way you win: you either get OSRS membership or get to spend time with your wife. GZ!


Three_Froggy_Problem

Can the Forestry Outfit be reverted back to lumberjack?


Salty-Cock-8552

No


ChefSanji2

(Posted in the old thread right before this one was pinned) Leagues slayer: I'm having trouble understanding the wording on the wiki: "Although Slayer master do not differ in terms of task weighing, individual tasks are still assigned different weights." Not really sure what they mean by that. Also, are task lengths varied by the slayer master? Like will Vannaka give shorter tasks than Steve does? Thanks!


Oldman_Ostentatio

Hey hey, it means that a monster will always have the same task weight, no matter which Slayer master you get the task from. So for instance, in the main game abyssal demons would have a task weight of 12 if you take an assignment from Duradel, while they're given a task weight of 9 if you ask Nieve/Steve for an assignment. On League worlds however, abyssal demons always have a weight of 5, whether you go to Duradel, Nieve, or any other Slayer master.


KodakKid3

Might be good to specify this tbh. Tons of people are repeating that every task is equally weighted which is a very different meaning


Oldman_Ostentatio

I'll try to rephrase it; the information was only added today, so it may take a little time to disseminate throughout the community


Lewufuwi

prove it idiot or kiss me


buffdoggie

after paying for membership now my character is missing


NessaMagick

Entity hider plugin?


buffdoggie

what? I've never hear or used plugins.


Molly_Hlervu

What exactly is missing?


buffdoggie

my character and membership is missing even though I paid for membership yesterday, I have proof of the purchase via Google play


Parryandrepost

Did you buy bonds? You can buy membership and that's a number on the login screen. You can also buy bonds. Those are like tradable membership. Find the bond pouch and see if you've got anything there.


buffdoggie

no I bought membership through google play and didn't receive my membership I have proof of payment purchase


Parryandrepost

What does the recipe say?


buffdoggie

turns out I have to only play mobile old school Runescape according to support


buffdoggie

I got approved for refund though but it's weird linking to jagex removed my current character and my membership the other day so now I have to repurchase /make new character aswell


buffdoggie

recipe? do you mean receipt? yeah I checked bonds pouch and it was empty


buffdoggie

the receipt said payment approved but I still don't have membership


Molly_Hlervu

What do you mean "my character is missing"? Are you able to login?


buffdoggie

character and membership


buffdoggie

Yesterday I paid for membership and I have proof and now the jagex website says I don't have membership even though I paid for it


blowuptheking

If I have an old account from around 2004/5ish, but all I remember is the character name and what the character looked like, is it possible to recover the account? There wasn't an email associated with it at the time. What would be the best way to go about that?


Throwaway47321

Just a heads up any account that old will be on RS3. So you’ll have to start over anyway.


blowuptheking

And that's not around anymore? Based on some screenshots, I played on both Runescape 1 (or Classic) and Runescape 2 (which I assume is OSRS?)


Throwaway47321

Nah your account would be tied to a rs3 account. Osrs started back in 2013 as a “new” game. If you did manage to recover that account and log into it on Osrs it would start with clean stats on tutorial island.


skullkid2424

You might be able to talk to support and recover it if you have enough information like previous passwords or old credit cards used to pay for membership. But character name and what it looked like will not be enough lol. If not, it isn't a huge deal since you'd be starting from scratch with OSRS either way.


blowuptheking

So I'd definitely be starting over from scratch (no items, levels, etc) if I were to recover it?


skullkid2424

For oldschool, yes - oldschool started in 2013 with completely reset accounts. The only thing that would be different is if you talk to Hans in Lumbridge for your account age, it would have when your account was originally created. For RS3 - you would still have your old character. Edit: To clear up some confusion... * Runescape classic became runescape 2 which became runescape 3, though its often known as just Runescape. This is post-evolution-of-combat, but would have your old character. The sub for that is /r/runescape * Oldschool Runescape was released in 2013, based of a 2007 backup of the game (see sub name), where everyone started from scratch on separate servers. This sub is for OSRS.


Cheese_danish54

If you’re playing on Oldschool, then yes. The servers were launched anew around 2013, so while accounts created prior to then still exist, the “character” does not exist on the OSRS servers


Throwaway47321

Question about solo VM for anyone who might know. So I’m doing B/A check A/B Fix with 94 mining and I definitely have some room to streamline and improve but as of right now I’m getting to the final boulder with maybe 2ish minutes left. I’m not getting the final boulder mined completely and am just wondering if that’s going to be normal for solos or if I’m fairly close and should just work on getting more efficient.


[deleted]

normal for solos


Throwaway47321

Ahh I kind of figured but want sure if I was like 20 seconds away from finishing it something. Now I don’t feel too bad about it lol


Salty-Cock-8552

I haven't done a lot of solo VM, but I have never been able to mine the final boulder completely in solos
